Chapter 50: Hidden Sword Peak

Qi Ming had already slowly stopped his move. The sword qi and sword intent around his body gradually dissipated, and only the residual sword intent was left. The Green Cloud Falling Cloud Sword was also put into his storage bag.

“Master, the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly is about to begin?”

Qi Ming asked, “What do I have to do specifically?”

“Don’t worry.” Elder Feng said, “You don’t have to do anything. At that time, the selection of disciples, as well as the exact assessments and arrangements, will be handled by the outer sect and inner sect elders. You only need to be present to oversee it.”

“Remember, don’t be afraid. If you embarrass the Green Cloud Peak, I’ll definitely punish you.”

“I understand.”

Qi Ming’s expression changed slightly. Could it be that they wanted him to be an ornament? He said, “I’ve basically been cultivating during the period that I’ve stayed in the Falling Cloud Peak. Therefore, there’s nothing to prepare. I can set off at any time.”

“However…”

Elder Feng pondered for a moment and said, “You still have to be careful. Every time the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly opens, there will more or less be demonic sects and demon cultivators stirring up the situation.”

“Moreover, Black Lotus Demon Lord also issued a bounty on you.”

“Yes.” Qi Ming nodded and said, “I will definitely be careful and not let myself fall into a dangerous situation.”

“Very good.” Elder Feng said, “Qingyan, you must protect Qi Ming’s safety.”

“I will definitely take good care of my Junior Brother.” Lü Qingyan smiled.

“Thank you, Senior Sister.” Qi Ming said.

In the blink of an eye, the next morning.

“Junior Brother, it’s time to set off.”

Buzz!

Above Falling Cloud Peak, Lü Qingyan came in a magnificent ship. This ship was like a magnificent building floating in the air. It was less than ten meters away from the top of the Falling Cloud Peak. It had a total of five levels and was completely dark yellow. It was complemented by array patterns and a transparent screen of light enveloped the entire ship.

The ship was 30 meters tall and 10 meters wide.

It was indeed an amazing sight.

Lu Qingyan stood on the bow of the ship and looked down at the Falling Cloud Peak.

“Alright, Senior Sister.”

Qi Ming was already waiting outside the Falling Cloud Cave Abode in the morning. Huo Changqing, the Greater Bat Demon, and the Blood Fiend Evil Ghost were naturally brought along by Qi Ming. However, they were all in the spirit pet slots and inventory, not shown.

Swish!

Qi Ming leaped up and jumped more than ten meters high. He directly jumped onto the ship from the top of the Falling Cloud Peak and stood steadily on the deck.

He did not reveal his strength or powerful spirit energy fluctuations. This way, whether it was Lü Qingyan or Elder Feng, they could not easily determine Qi Ming’s cultivation.

They would only know if they used the Spirit Searching Technique.

“Greetings, Legacy Disciple Qi.”

In the surroundings, there were also two inner sect elders, twelve outer sect elders, the children, servants, or subordinates of these elders. Qi Ming casually looked around and saw about 30 people.

“Greetings, elders.”

Qi Ming cupped his hands and returned the greeting, “I’ve just become a legacy disciple. It’s only been a short time and I don’t know much about the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly. I hope that the elders can forgive me.”

“Legacy Disciple Qi is too polite.”

“The Heaven Enlightenment Assembly is held every three years. It’s mainly to select some talented disciples to enter the sect and absorb some fresh blood.”

“However, there are not many who can really join the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. Most of them will only become servant disciples.”

“After all, how can there be so many geniuses in the world?”

“…”

The elders said a few words.

“Junior Brother.” Lü Qingyan gestured at the thin-faced middle-aged man beside her and said to Qi Ming, “Let me introduce you. This is the inner sect elder, Tan Chengling.”

“Greetings, Elder Tan.”

Qi Ming cupped his hands and bowed.

“Cough cough.”

Tan Chengling coughed lightly and said, “I’ve long heard that Legacy Disciple Qi’s performance in the Outer Sect Assessment was extremely outstanding. You must have great talent. Being able to become Elder Feng’s legacy disciple, you will definitely soar in the future. You’ll certain condense a core and reach the Nascent Soul realm.”

“Elder Tan is too kind.” Qi Ming said.

“This is the inner sect elder, Cui Qing.”

Lü Qingyan introduced the other fat inner sect elder.

“Mm.” Cui Qing nodded coldly.

As for the twelve outer sect elders, Qi Ming was only introduced to them.

They did not interact much.

“Let’s go.”

A few minutes later.

Buzz!

Lü Qingyan waved her hand and activated the array formation of the ship. The entire ship turned into a stream of light and disappeared from the spot. Qi Ming could see the scene beside him retreating at an unnoticeable speed.

“So fast.” Qi Ming said.

Ten minutes later, the ship descended to the venue of the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly and stopped in the sky. Clouds and fog surrounded it, like an ethereal paradise.

Directly ahead, Qi Ming looked up.

An extremely huge floating city could be seen.

The exact structure of the floating city.

There were a total of twelve castles, each in twelve different locations. The other places were all extremely flat land.

At the bottom of the floating city was a huge circular array disc.

He observed carefully.

Different profound formation patterns were interwoven on the disk array.

In addition, the twelve castles corresponded to the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!!!

Not long after, Qi Ming saw different ships flying over one after another and stopping around the floating city. It was the other eleven peaks.

In less than half an hour, the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment arrived.

“Junior Brother.” Lü Qingyan said, “This is the venue for the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly. It’s called Heaven Enlightenment City. The castle below the ship is the Green Cloud Fort.”

“The other eleven castles represent the other eleven peaks.”

“Mm.” Qi Ming nodded slightly.

“This is the Green Cloud Assembly Decree.”

Lü Qingyan took out a hexagonal token. It was completely green in color and handed it to Qi Ming. She said, “At that time, you will hold the Green Cloud Assembly Decree and pour your spirit energy into it to announce the beginning of the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly.”

“After the legacy disciples of the other eleven peaks show up and activate the respective tokens, they will be able to open the Heaven Enlightenment Testing Passage. Everyone who comes to participate in the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly will pass the five tests of the Heaven Enlightenment Test Passage and finally arrive at Heaven Enlightenment City.”

“Are you clear?”

“Mm.” Qi Ming nodded again. “It’s already clear.”

One had to know, Qi Ming had inherited his predecessor’s memories, so he was quite clear about the five tests of the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly.

Overall, although the five tests of the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly were different every time, they were the same. The main points were the five aptitudes: spirit root, physique, comprehension, foundation, and providence.

“Go.” Lu Qingyan said, “Don’t be nervous.”

“I won’t.”

Qi Ming smiled. He held the token and walked forward. He stood on the bow of the ship and looked around calmly. There was no fluctuation in his gaze, and the gazes of the elders on the ship landed on Qi Ming.

“Green Cloud Peak’s legacy disciple, Qi Ming!”

Qi Ming took a deep breath and circulated his spirit energy. He injected the Green Cloud Assembly Decree in his hand and shouted, “The Heaven Enlightenment Assembly begins now.”

Buzz!!!

The token of the Green Cloud Assembly soared into the sky from Qi Ming’s hand and into the sky. It turned into a green cloud that shone in all directions.

“The legacy disciple of the Green Cloud Peak.”

“Qi Ming? I remember now. He’s the legacy disciple that Feng Zimu took in during the Outer Sect Assessment. How long has it been? He’s probably not even in the Foundation Establishment realm.”

“Isn’t the Green Cloud Peak afraid of losing face by letting him preside over it?”

“Interesting.”

“…”

The voices of the elders sounded from the other ships.

“Hidden Sword Peak’s legacy disciple, Fu Chenxue.”

Buzz!

On the ship of the Hidden Sword Peak was a young man in a black robe. He held the Hidden Sword Assembly Decree and activated it. It tore through the air and formed a huge sword with a scabbard. It floated in the air as he said, “The Heaven Enlightenment Assembly begins now.”
