Mountain Lord Mu Yeyun and Mountain Lord Rong Siyan couldn’t discern any particular uniqueness about Ye Wushuang. Mountain Lord Yan Ling, however, merely glanced at Ye Wushuang without uttering a word. The six mountain lords led Ye Wushuang toward Lingjian Mountain.
Before long,
A series of towering mountains suddenly loomed ahead.
Each peak soared into the clouds like a gigantic sword. The shortest was a hundred zhang tall, while the tallest reached ten thousand zhang, with their tips disappearing into the clouds. These sword-like mountains gathered together, forming a forest of swords. It was then that Qing Shiyu finally understood what the Sword Stone Forest truly meant. Though called a forest, it was actually a continuous range of mountains. Upon entering this place, one couldn’t help but feel extremely insignificant, oppressed by the sheer presence of the towering sword mountains.
Ye Wushuang looked around and couldn’t help but smile, “They’ve certainly chosen an impressive location!”
Su Xuanye and Yuwen Yi both laughed. Naturally, they were delighted that their master was satisfied.
Passing through these sword mountains, soon the group arrived at a relatively sparse area where numerous palaces and pavilions were nestled among the mountains and beside the water, arranged in a staggered and layered fashion, stretching for dozens of miles. This was the main base of Lingjian Mountain!
The vast Lingjian Mountain had two sword mountains standing upright on either side of its entrance. These two mountains were symmetrical and almost identical. Moreover, the words “Lingjian Mountain” were inscribed on the cliffs of both mountains, as if etched by swords.
At this moment, outside the mountain gate, many people were standing. Disciples and elders alike were all looking in their direction.
“Who are they welcoming? All six mountain lords have come out together?”
“Not just the six mountain lords. The Blue-Winged Thunder Peng, which is usually exclusive to Mountain Master Siyin, has also been dispatched!”
“Didn’t you know?”
“What?”
“Ye Wushuang! The first and second mountain lords went to the Qingyun Empire to bring Ye Wushuang here!”
Some disciples and elders had no idea who Ye Wushuang was. After all, the Hundred Nations’ Martial Contest featured the true young prodigies and geniuses sent by each empire. The seven great powers had sent their young prodigies and geniuses, all at the Yuanfu realm level. This grand event had a significant impact on the hundred nations and the seven great powers, but it wasn’t that exaggerated.
Thus, many people were still unaware of what Ye Wushuang had done at the Hundred Nations’ Martial Contest.
“The Ye Wushuang who single-handedly eliminated almost all the young prodigies from the six great sects? Is it him?”
“Wow, this guy must have some real connections to have all six mountain lords come out for him!”
“Who knows? Maybe he really is incredibly talented!”
“So what if he is? Can he be compared to Senior Brother Qin or Senior Sister Li?”
“Of course not!”
There is still a significant gap between young prodigies and young adult prodigies. As one of the seven great powers, Lingjian Mountain had true young adult prodigies, some of whom had even reached the Wan Fa realm.
To reach the Wan Fa realm at the age of twenty-something is an incredibly terrifying talent!
Ye Wushuang, at seventeen years old, had reached the eighth level of the Tian Gang realm, which was also quite remarkable.
However, the transition from Tian Gang to Wan Fa is a huge chasm!
Many prodigies, including older-generation Tian Gang realm peak cultivators, would be stuck at this stage, possibly never crossing it in their entire lives.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Ye Wushuang walked into Lingjian Mountain. However, soon, many young disciples shifted their attention to Qing Shiyu, who was beside Ye Wushuang.
“Who is that girl? She’s amazing!”
“She’s not inferior to Su Jin Yue at all. Is she also a new disciple?”
“I think I’m in love!”
“You’re so shameless!”
Before long, the six mountain lords, along with a few others, arrived at a martial training ground in front of Lingjian Mountain. Inside the training ground, Mountain Master Siyin stood proudly in a long dress, like an empress towering above everyone else. The six mountain lords all bowed respectfully.
Mountain Master Siyin’s gaze fell on Ye Wushuang, and she declared, “From today onwards, Ye Wushuang shall be a core disciple of Lingjian Mountain, and I will personally instruct him.”
“Su Xuanye, take him to settle in.”
At this moment, Ye Wushuang looked at Mountain Master Siyin and pointed to Qing Shiyu beside him.
With a hint of helplessness, Mountain Master Siyin added, “Qing Shiyu shall also be a core disciple of Lingjian Mountain, and I will personally instruct her as well.”
After making this announcement, Mountain Master Siyin turned and left. As always, she was concise and to the point, leaving without any further ado.
However, the area around the training ground erupted in an uproar.
Ye Wushuang!
Qing Shiyu!
Directly appointed as core disciples?
Are you kidding me?
Within the entire Lingjian Mountain, only those who reach the Wan Fa realm before the age of twenty-six are eligible to be appointed as core disciples.
What does it mean to be a core disciple?
In Lingjian Mountain, Guiyuan realm figures hold the position of core-level elders, with high status and prestige. Those at the Wan Fa realm level serve as inner or outer gate elders.
Core disciples hold a status equivalent to that of core-level elders!
Therefore, the requirements for core disciples are also quite extraordinary.
To date, there are only four core disciples within Lingjian Mountain.
Yet now, Ye Wushuang and Qing Shiyu, who had just arrived at Lingjian Mountain, were directly appointed as core disciples?
And… they were to be personally instructed by Mountain Master Siyin herself!
Doesn’t that make them Mountain Master Siyin’s favored disciples?
