Early one morning at the beginning of winter, a large crowd gathered on No-Sword Peak.
The morning wind swept up charred, broken branches, making them slap against the pigsty. SMACK, SMACK, SMACK. The sounds echoed through the air.
The moment Su Bei’s voice fell, he instantly captured everyone’s attention!
All the Sword Sect disciples held their breath, watching as Su Bei stepped forward, hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the snow-covered expanse of No-Sword Peak.
His majestic figure seemed to fuse with the snowy landscape, blurring the lines until it was unclear if they were looking at a painting or if their eyes were simply filled with a scene of profound artistry.
Su Bei declared, "I, Bei, dare! Let everyone here be my witness!"
One Sword Sect disciple flushed beet-red. He stared at the composed Fifth Elder, his toes gripping the soles of his shoes so tightly it seemed he might gouge a two-bedroom apartment out of them!
He then fiercely rubbed his feet on the ground, his entire body seemingly overcome by a sudden wave of awkwardness.
Awkward! So incredibly awkward! The Fifth Elder’s words were both showy and cringeworthy! But still... so exciting!
Wenren Pingxin stared at Su Bei in disbelief. She watched him as if he had become a different person; a smile curled his lips, and his entire being radiated an unparalleled confidence. What happened to him? Could it be that I pressed him too hard, causing his mind to snap?
Wenren Pingxin coughed softly. Looking at Su Bei with a hint of apology, she began slowly, "Bei Bei, I think you..."
Before she could finish, Su Bei raised his eyebrows. The corners of his white robe fluttered in the breeze as he made a dashing turn.
Everything was still, imbued with a serene beauty. Even the dead leaves on No-Sword Peak seemed to drift down more slowly than usual.
At this moment, Su Bei could sense every rustle of wind and blade of grass on No-Sword Peak. He could even clearly hear the heartbeat of every living creature on the peak—including the unusually loud thumping of Ninth Junior Sister’s heart.
Is this the Selfless Realm? Truly worthy of being my disciple—a child of fortune and a valuable asset, one who both tends to graves and cultivates! It seems for this upcoming mission outside the Sect to raise funds, I absolutely must keep this lucky charm with me...
Su Bei took a deep breath. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he reached out and grasped the hilt of the Qingping Sword.
A profound silence fell! Everyone held their breath, afraid to miss the slightest detail.
"Look! The Fifth Elder reached out his hand!"
"Look! The Fifth Elder grasped the sword!"
"Look! The Fifth Elder is about to draw it!"
"I know! I have eyes; I’m not blind."
The moment Su Bei grasped the Qingping Sword, his black hair danced wildly, and his wide sleeves billowed! Instantly, the ground around the Qingping Sword began to crack, the fissures spreading outwards.
Simultaneously, ripples of imperceptible Spiritual Energy spread outwards in all directions, like a great wind howling past, sending the tiles on the pigsty CLATTERING noisily.
Then, Su Bei, standing before the Qingping Sword, formed a sword seal with one hand, pointing it towards the sky. With his other hand, he gripped the Qingping Sword tightly!
A clap of thunder echoed from above—a display of immense, heaven-rending power—and then a Sword Shadow appeared!
It was followed by two, then four, then eight, then sixteen! Soon, countless Sword Shadows layered upon each other, shrouding the entirety of No-Sword Peak, obscuring the very sky.
The Selfless Realm! Su Bei mentally sifted through countless phrases suitable for this occasion. Then, gazing at the brightly glowing Qingping Sword, he uttered softly, "I request the sword!"
His voice was soft, yet it carried clearly to the ears of every Sword Sect disciple on No-Sword Peak.
On this day, atop No-Sword Peak where disciples and elders had gathered, everyone witnessed a sight they would never forget for the rest of their lives! The Sword Shadows densely enveloped the heavens. It was as if it had started to rain—a rain of swords! A Sword Rain!
Mo Xingjian’s eyes were wide as he watched this scene, his breath coming in ragged gasps. He felt his heart pound more intensely than when he visited the Red Pavilion to find that ’Little Peach Blossom’!
His hands clenched tightly, he gazed at the scene before him in utter shock. Su Bei... can he really pull it out? That’s the Treasure of Sword Sect, the Qingping Sword!
Beside Mo Xingjian, Li Ziyu breathed heavily, his eyes filled with disbelief as he watched the scene unfold. He continuously shook his head, as if trying to hypnotize himself.
He roared helplessly within: What cultivation level is he? He’s only at the Mid Stage Divinity Transformation! How is this possible? How did he do it? Why him?! Why should someone who only knows how to eat, drink, and make merry be able to draw the sword?! I’m so humble, so hardworking—why isn’t it me?!
A faint smile touched Su Bei’s lips. Under the influence of the Selfless Realm, he seemed indifferent to everything around him.
He reached towards the sky with a beckoning gesture. Instantly, the Sword Shadows above No-Sword Peak roiled and surged as if summoned by an invisible force. Then, like a deluge from above, a towering sword waterfall descended, connecting heaven and earth.
This sword waterfall was *the* sword! The Treasure of Sword Sect, the Qingping Sword!
Dan Wulan stared blankly at the scene before her. Her mind went void as she gazed at the towering, majestic Su Bei, his presence awe-inspiring.
Under the influence of the Qingping Sword, she felt like a mere leaf in the ocean, battered by a violent storm, as insignificant as an ant.
Gazing at Su Bei’s handsome face, Dan Wulan’s own exquisite features flushed crimson. She clenched her thighs together, an involuntary soft moan escaping her lips. Fifth Senior Brother! So cool!
This terrifying spectacle shocked everyone in the Sword Sect. No matter where they were, they could see that sky-piercing Sword Shadow.
Everyone was deeply stirred, an overwhelming sense of pride surging within them, impossible to shake off.
"AWOO! AWOO! AWOO! That’s our Sword Sect’s Qingping Sword!"
"Heaven smiles upon our Sword Sect!"
"The Treasure of Sword Sect!"
"With this sword, our Sword Sect will surely rise to the absolute pinnacle!"
"Who is it drawing the sword?"
"Could the Sect Leader have returned?"
「Inside the thatched cottage.」
Xiao Ruoching, who had recently advanced to the Qi Refining Realm, suddenly awoke from her meditation. She sneezed violently.
She gently rubbed her nose and muttered softly, Why do I feel like someone is bad-mouthing me?
Then, she felt a torrential surge of Spiritual Energy continuously wash over No-Sword Peak. Xiao Ruoching’s expression turned to shock. What exactly happened on No-Sword Peak?
She quickly got up and walked outside. Gazing at the towering Sword Shadow, she couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment! That Sword Shadow was like a waterfall!
Then, she hastened her long, slender legs, hurrying towards the vortex of spiritual power. What exactly is going on?
More and more people rushed towards No-Sword Peak, all wearing expressions of urgent anxiety, eager to witness the one who now held the Qingping Sword!
Xiao Ruoching wove her way through the dense crowd and finally arrived at the uproarious scene. She looked up.
The next instant, her eyes locked onto the scene, and her heart seemed to stop beating. There stood the familiar man in white robes, his eyes curved into crescents, his lips forming a handsome smile.
With one hand, he held the Qingping Sword, slowly drawing it from the earth. A pale green Sword Qi soared into the sky like a dragon ascending to the heavens.
Su Bei smiled faintly, his figure soaring upwards, robes billowing freely. In his right hand, he held the fully drawn Qingping Sword!
A breathtaking Sword Shadow descended with a thunderous roar. The Sword Qi it emanated was vast and magnificent! It was as if a Sword Immortal had arrived!
