“Elder brother, didn’t they say there aren’t any powerful cultivators in today’s competition? Why is it still impossible to get a seat?”
“Haven’t you seen the list of today’s sword-questioning cultivators？”
“No.”
“You’ll understand once you go and take a look.”
On a grandstand on the north side of the Sword Flat, Mu Yuchen and Mu Yun of Guangling Pavilion, while chatting, struggling to squeeze through the crowd on the grandstand and finally squeezing into the cloud building they had booked.
“What’s so strange about this list？”
After finding a chair and sitting down, Mu Yuchen whispered, “and then took out her spirit mirror.”
With a gentle tap of her finger, the list of today’s sword-questioning cultivators automatically appeared on the spirit mirror.
Three days before each sword-questioning begins, the Nine Mansions will publish the list of sword-questioning cultivators and it is no longer only viewable by the sword-questioning cultivators themselves.
“They’re all cultivators I’ve hardly heard of. What’s so strange about that?”
After Mu Yuchen gave a cursory glance, the puzzled look on her face became even thicker.
Although the list of this sword-questioning was only published a few days ago the big list of cultivators from all regions participating in the Sword Champion Conference was actually already known to Mu Yuchen and the others as early as half a month ago.
It was precisely because of this that Mu Yuchen had long known by heart the cultivators on this list who deserved attention.
Therefore, cultivators that she had never even heard of were, in all likelihood, mediocre in cultivation.
Mu Yun didn’t look at Mu Yuchen. Instead, his gaze was fixed unblinkingly on the sword field below, and without turning his head, he said：
“Take a closer look.”
Just as he said this, another cultivator, after being called out by the mountain-guardian elder, stepped onto the sword field and took out the Sword Questioning Token to verify his identity.
Mu Yuchen, who was beside him, seeing that Mu Yun was ignoring her, immediately said with a displeased expression on her face：
“What’s the point of keeping it a mystery? Can’t you just tell me first, big brother?”
Mu Yun still didn’t pay any attention to Mu Yuchen.
Seeing this, Mu Yuchen pouted, but in the end, driven by curiosity, she re-scanned the list displayed on the spirit mirror from beginning to end.
“What’s so special about this list… Hmm？”
Mu Yuchen, who was about to scan the list again and still hadn’t discovered the special feature of this list, immediately complained about Mu Yun beside her again.
However, this time, just as she was halfway through her words, her gaze was firmly attracted by the last name on the list.
After a long time, her eyes wide open, she said in surprise：
“Xu Taiping？！”
Mu Yuchen was naturally no stranger to the name Xu Taiping.
After the Golden Scale Assembly back then, this name had almost become a nightmare in the hearts of fellow cultivators of the same generation.
If it weren’t for that Broken Bone Curse, Mu Yuchen believed that even to this day, this name would still shine brightly in this Sword Champion Assembly.
As he spoke, Mu Yuchen suddenly raised his head and looked at Mu Yun, asking in great confusion：
Why is Xu Taiping’s name on this list？
That Xu Taiping was hit by the Broken Bone Curse and his cultivation was halted at the Divine Refinement Realm was almost known to everyone in the Supreme Pure Cultivation World.
So under normal circumstances, his name would never have appeared on the Sword Champion List.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yun retracted his gaze from the Sword Terrace and began to explain：
I only found out about this matter a few days ago from Sparrow.
When he said this, Mu Yun leaned back a little and continued：
It is said that this was obtained by Zhao Qian, the head of the Azure Mysterious Sect, from the Nine Courts.
Because the Nine Courts remembered the great martial fortune that Xu Taiping brought to True Martial Heaven back then, they finally made an exception and used the destiny of the Nine Courts to seek a Sword Asking Order for Xu Taiping from the Sword Champion List.
Mu Yuchen was a little puzzled and said：
But with Xu Taiping’s cultivation, even if a Sword Asking Order was sought for him, what use would it be？
She immediately added：
Moreover, he might not be able to come at all.
Mu Yun shook his head and said：
“Sister, whether you can come and whether you are willing to wait are two different things.”
Once these words were spoken, the look in Mu Yuchen’s eyes as he looked at Mu Yun became even more confused.
Mu Yun didn’t rush to explain but raised his hand and pointed at the full stand in the Western Zhou Dynasty and said：
“Sister, have you noticed that in today’s competition, Zhenwu Tian cultivators who came to watch the battle accounted for at least 70%.”
Mu Yuchen, who was completely at a loss, swept a glance in the direction pointed by Mu Yun and then nodded woodenly and said：
“It seems to be more than 70%.”
Mu Yuchen’s spiritual power was far stronger than that of Mu Yun, and he could also hear the voices of others, so with just one glance, he could more accurately judge the number of Zhenwu Tian cultivators on the field.
But immediately, Mu Yuchen still asked with a puzzled look on his face：
“But what does this explain？”
Mu Yun’s gaze once again looked at the sword flat below, and then said seriously：
“This shows that the entire Zhenwu Tian is willing to wait for him.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Yuchen’s heart suddenly trembled, and his whole person froze there.
Mu Yun then continued with a hint of emotion in his eyes：
“Do you think that the Nine Mansions are really grateful for Xu Taiping’s kindness and are willing to invite that Asking Sword Order at the cost of consuming their own destiny ？”
“Of course not.”
“The reason they are willing to do this is simply because they are well aware that even if Xu Taiping never returns, the cultivators of True Martial Heaven will still be willing to sit here and wait for him.”
Just at this moment, the spiritual mirror in Mu Yuchen’s hand that was used for observing the battle suddenly trembled one after another.
Mu Yuchen lowered his head and saw that after the cultivators from several other worlds questioned the fairness of Xu Taiping’s acquisition of the Asking Sword Token, the cultivators from True Martial Heaven began to shout one after another to refute –
“You Cloud Heaven, Qianyuan Sect, take care of your dog. Whether Daoist Taiping is qualified to obtain the Asking Sword Token has nothing to do with your Qianyuan Sect!”
“Even if Daoist Taiping’s Asking Sword Token was exchanged with the destiny of True Martial Heaven, we are still willing！”
“If the destiny of True Martial Heaven is so useful, then you Nine Prefectures should bring Daoist Taiping back for us！”
Looking at the lines of text floating in the spiritual mirror, Mu Yuchen was shocked in his heart and said:
“Elder brother, when did this Xu Taiping gain such prestige in True Martial Heaven？”
However, before Mu Yun beside him could answer, the sounds in the spiritual mirror had already been given the answer –
“If it weren’t for Daoist Taiping’s lone courage and defeating a crowd of heroes at the Golden Scale Meeting, where would the cultivators of our True Martial Heaven get this sixty-year-long overbearing martial destiny ？”
“If it wasn’t for Daoist Taiping chasing the murderer for thousands of miles and seeking justice from the arsonist, when would the cultivators of our True Martial Heaven be able to hold their heads high in this Upper Pure Realm？”
“……”
After reading these lines of shouting text, Mu Yuchen, who silently raised his head, murmured：
“I didn’t expect him to have done so many things for True Martial Heaven.”
And just at this time, the shouting voice of the Mountain Guardian Elder came from the Sword Terrace again——
“The next sword-questioning cultivator, from Qingxuan Sect, Xu Taiping！”
The spectator cultivators on the west stand of the Sword Terrace had originally turned a deaf ear to the routine shouting of the Mountain Guardian Elder, but with the exit of the three words “Xu Taiping”, the crowd on the west stand suddenly and All in unison fell silent.
“Crash…”
Amid the sound of chairs moving, almost all the spectator cultivators’ eyes All in unison looked towards the Sword Terrace below.
At this moment, on the stands, in front of the spirit mirrors, the five directions of the world were waiting for one person together.
