The Immortal Sword Academy was located in the northwest part of Cang Ling Astral, the Firmament Mountain Range. It was about thirty thousand miles away from the Sky Glory Mountain Range. The environment here was worse than the other places in the Cang Ling Astral World. Twenty thousand years ago, this place was originally a place where all the cultivation holy lands banished disciples who violated the sect rules. Later, an extremely remarkable figure named Jian Li Chen appeared.
This person comprehended the Dao with the sword and had a high cultivation. In the end, he conquered all the abandoned disciples of the Cang Qiong Mountain and established the Immortal Sword Academy. In the beginning, none of the sects acknowledged the existence of the Immortal Sword Academy. They attacked and suppressed them many times, causing the Immortal Sword Academy to fall into a desperate situation.
Later on, the Righteous Dao and the Devil Dao had a war. The Righteous Dao had already paid the price of a miserable victory and chased the Devil Dao out of Cang Ling Astral World. At the same time, the Righteous Dao sects were unable to recover. The Immortal Sword Academy took advantage of the situation to develop. When the other sects attacked again, they found that the Immortal Sword Academy had become a colossus that they could not shake.
If they were to start a war with the Academy of Immortal Sword again, the ones who would be hurt would be the orthodox sects. Moreover, the Academy of Immortal Sword had no bad deeds after its establishment. On the contrary, it was inextricably linked with the sects. Moreover, it had saved the sects many times. Over time, it would recognize the status of the Academy of Immortal Sword.
It was said that during the Immortal Ancient Era, there was a great battle in a place in the sky of the Upper Realm. As the people from both sides fought until the end, the Firmament World was torn apart and fell directly into the Cang Ling Astral Realm. This place was both a treasure land and a dangerous place. Later, an Immortal Venerable personally came here and sealed this place with supreme magic power. He also forged six keys and handed them to the Heavenly Faction, Dao Seeking Faction, Bodhi Temple, Heng Mountain Temple, Green Lotus Sect, and Shu Dao Peak for their disciples to train.
Due to the limited number of disciples and the fact that it was close to the Immortal Sword Academy, the seven sects had made an agreement that two hundred disciples would be selected to enter through the sect competition. As long as the disciples who participated in the training did not die, they would have a great future. Therefore, the various sects were also optimistic about the experiential learning. The more disciples there were, the stronger the sect would be.
When Patriarch of Law Enforcement Tian Xingzi arrived at the gate of the Immortal Sword Academy after more than ten days, he warned everyone,""Disciples, listen up. You must remember the 'three noes' and 'three guarantees. No loud noises, no trouble, no private actions, to ensure unity and friendship, to ensure strict discipline, to ensure that everyone passes.”
"We will obey Elder's orders. We will not tarnish the name of the sect.”Everyone said in unison.
"Who are you? Quickly report your name, or don't blame us for being impolite.”
When they arrived at the gate of the Immortal Sword Academy, they were stopped by a group of disciples.
"I'm Tian Xingzi, an elder of the Clear Sky School's Law Enforcement Hall. I've come to participate in the sect competition this time, so I hope this fellow daoist can inform me.”
"He really is from the Clear Sky School.”The disciple who had stopped them from entering the Immortal Sword Academy said.
"Yes or no, please come out and speak.”It was said that Patriarch Tian Xingzi was a cultured person. He was still polite even when a small sect disciple mocked him. If it was someone like Ji, he would have beaten him up so badly that his parents wouldn't even recognize him. However, everyone was like Patriarch of Law Enforcement. They were more aware of the big picture and didn't go up to cause trouble.
"If you say so, then so be it.”
Obviously, the disciples of the Immortal Sword Academy were here to stop them, to provoke everyone into attacking, so that the Immortal Sword Academy could seize the opportunity to suppress the Clear Sky School.
However, Patriarch of Law Enforcement Tian Xingzi was someone who had already seen through the clues inside. He just didn't want to say anything.
"This is this old man's identity jade plate.”As he spoke, Tian Xingzi handed the identity jade card to him.
"Don't show it to me, I don't know it.”
"No matter what, you don't want us to enter. Fine, I don't believe that your sect will let you go. Even if they let you go, will the other sects agree to delay our competition? I'll see who dares to protect you. Humph! Let's go. It's fine if we don't participate in this competition.”
When had a dignified Clear Sky School elder ever suffered such humiliation? This was clearly the Immortal Sword Academy's intention to make things difficult for him.
"Fellow Daoist Tian Xingzi, please wait, please wait. It's all our fault for being negligent.”
Just as everyone was about to leave, the elder of the Immortal Sword Academy, Daoist Master Profound Fa, happened to walk to the mountain gate.
After saying that, Perfected Profound Fa turned to the disciple beside him and said,"I don't want to fight. Go to the back of the cliff and reflect on your mistakes. You're not allowed to take half a step out of the back of the cliff for five years, or else I won't let you off easily.”
"Disciple is willing to be punished."
When the disciple heard this, he didn't show any signs of depression. On the contrary, his expression was very happy. This meant that he wasn't being punished, but was receiving a reward.
"Everyone, please follow me. As there are many disciples from various sects participating in the sect competition this time, and our sect house has too many people, please forgive us for not entertaining you well.”
"No, no, we cultivators don't care about these things. We just need a place to live.”
"I'm relieved. This way, please.”
Under the guidance of Xuan Fa, everyone came to a large courtyard overgrown with weeds. In front of them were low houses that were already dilapidated. Ji Tianci pushed aside the weeds and walked to the front of the house. Just as his hand touched the wooden door, he heard a crash and the wooden door fell.
Yu Xuzi couldn't stand it anymore and said,""Is this how your Immortal Sword Academy treats guests? Elder, since the Immortal Sword Academy doesn't welcome us, why make things difficult for them? I think we'd better go home.”
"In my opinion, the Immortal Sword Academy must have found a way to open the training ground and no longer need our key. Forget it, all peak masters listen up, send a message to the other sects, tell them what you've seen and heard, and say that our Clear Sky School has officially withdrawn from the decennial competition. Since the Immortal Sword Academy doesn't welcome us, please don't deliberately humiliate us. Thank you for your hospitality. We'll take our leave now. Humph!"
In fact, the Law Enforcement Elder Tian Xingzi was also furious. If it wasn't because of their relationship, he would have already started to fly into a rage. At this moment, Yu Xuzi's suggestion gave him a chance.
After saying that, Tian Xingzi led everyone back the way they came, ignoring Perfected Xuan Fa's efforts to persuade him to stay.
The messages from the peak masters had already exploded in the other sects. Although they knew that the Immortal Sword Academy's sect master was petty and had always held a grudge against the Clear Sky School, this humiliation was a bit excessive. After all, the Clear Sky School was also a famous big sect with more than one hundred thousand disciples, so what face would they have left?
When the various sects were considering these problems, they didn't neglect the purpose of coming here. As long as the Clear Sky School retreated, this experiential learning would come to naught. It didn't affect the Clear Sky School much. At most, they would use the Heavenly Lake Mountain Range as a training ground for their disciples, but to them, the loss would be great.
Seeing the Clear Sky School withdraw, they were all extremely anxious and went to Xuan Kong, the sect leader of the Immortal Sword Academy, to reason with him.
"Sect Master Xuan Kong, what should we do? If the Clear Sky School really withdraws, you and I will both suffer a loss.”Dao Seeking Sect's sect master Zhan Qian said.
"Humph! Even if the Clear Sky School was at fault, they couldn't use this kind of despicable method to humiliate others. I think some sects are deliberately destroying the unity of our seven sects so that the little ones can take advantage of the situation. Humph!" Heng Yan, the sect master of Shu Dao Peak, was known for his fiery temper. He had always disliked the actions of the Immortal Sword Academy, and this time, he was even more furious.
At this moment, all the sect leaders and elders were gathered in the Sword Holding Hall of the Academy of Immortal Sword, anxiously waiting for the Sect Leader's reply. Xuan Kong, on the other hand, was leisurely drinking his spiritual tea and said slowly,""Oh! I really didn't know about this. Let me ask. Is Elder Xuan Fa here? Please hurry to the main hall."
About half an incense's time later, Xuan Fa rushed to the main hall in a hurry.
"May I know why the Immortal Sect Master has summoned us?”
"Do you know why the Clear Sky School withdrew from the sect competition?”
"Sect Master, I don't know about this. When I helped them arrange food and lodging, they didn't say anything.”
"Humph! Humiliating others and pretending not to know, aren't you tired?”The sect master of Shu Dao Peak, Heng Yan, said awkwardly.
"Sect Leader Heng, you've gone too far. I'm the dean of the Immortal Sword Academy, when have I ever humiliated the Clear Sky School? Besides, I personally accompanied them when receiving them. Could it be that my Immortal Sword Academy really accompanied them humbly? I think it's because their number one sect is arrogant.”Xuan Fa said loudly, as if he was afraid that others would not know.
"Humph! If you come to my Shudao Peak in the future, I can also let you live in a house that is worse than a pigsty. Please make the decision, Sect Master."
"Alright, alright, there's no need to quarrel here. It's better to seize the time to chase back the Clear Sky School people who haven't gone far.”The abbot of the Bodhi Temple, Fa Wu, said.
"Alright, I won't ask who's right or wrong. I'll apologize personally.”
"We are willing to go with Xuankong Zhenren.”Everyone saw that Xuankong Zhenren had already stood up. If they continued arguing, the Clear Sky School's people would go far away. Moreover, he didn't want to see this competition become a bubble. At the same time, everyone insisted on going with Xuankong Zhenren because they were afraid of humiliating the Clear Sky School and the others.
Just as Tian Xingzi and his disciples were flying on their swords to the small city at the foot of the Immortal Sword Academy, they finally saw Tian Xingzi and the others under Xuan Kong and the others 'full pursuit.
"Fellow Daoist Tian Xingzi, wait a moment. I'm Xuankong Zhenren, the sect master of the Immortal Sword Academy. Please wait a moment for me to explain the situation.”
Xuan Kong was also a crafty person. He knew that it was their fault, but he could still say it in a dignified manner. This made everyone feel even more embarrassed.
"I wonder what Xuankong Zhenren has come here to teach us.”After Tian Xingzi finished speaking, he signaled for everyone to stop and listen to Xuan Kong's explanation.
"This is a misunderstanding. It seems that Elder Xuan Fa misunderstood me. When I arranged for him to receive everyone, I specially asked him to vacate the best house in our sect for you. When I led you to your residence, we happened to pass by our sect's abandoned land. And you didn't ask for the details, so you mistook it for a house allocated to you.”
After Xuan Kong finished speaking, he lowered himself and bowed to the Clear Sky School's group.
Although Xuan Kong's bow seemed ordinary, there was actually a hidden mystery, and it could be said to be very vicious. As long as the Clear Sky School insisted on returning, they would certainly become the target of public criticism, naturally standing on the opposite side of the other sects.
But Xuan Kong still underestimated Tian Xingzi. He was a Clear Sky School elder after all, and had long seen through his tricks. On the way out, Tian Xingzi had expected Xuan Kong to play this trick and had already explained it to the disciples. Therefore, everyone cooperated well and did not make any noise, causing Xuan Kong to be unable to make a move.
