On the circular stone platform.
Four Sword Masters stood side by side. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Suddenly, the previously empty Sword Tomb surged with airflow as if a mirror shattered, revealing its true form.
A giant stone sword, densely covered with swords.
Surrounding the stone sword were numerous steles.
The twenty-plus Inner Sect Disciples who had entered were standing among the forest of steles.
"Ah, this time five people have matched with a Divine Sword?"
"It seems this batch of Inner Sect Disciples is quite impressive."
"Indeed, it’s good enough if one or two managed to match with Divine Swords when the Sword Tomb was opened in the past."
"Maybe it’s because last time the Sword Tomb was opened, not a single one matched, so this time their luck is through the roof."
...
After seeing the situation inside the Sword Tomb, the four Sword Masters became overjoyed.
Matching with a Divine Sword is crucial.
Generally speaking, True Disciples have the highest chance of matching.
After all, among the younger generation of Inner Sect Disciples, True Disciples are definitely the best.
As for those Inner Sect Disciples who have not comprehended Sword Intent, it’s basically impossible for them to match with a Divine Sword.
Unless they can comprehend Sword Intent inside the Sword Tomb, but even then, the chances are slim.
Therefore, the focus is on those disciples who have comprehended Sword Intent.
If they are extremely lucky, there is a certain chance to match with a Divine Sword.
Because some Divine Swords’ characteristics might be closely related to the Sword Intent comprehended by a disciple.
"Whose disciple is the one on the right that also matched with a Divine Sword? Why haven’t I heard of him before?"
A Sword Master wearing a silver mask asked curiously.
" I heard he’s Disciple Zhou’s, tsk tsk, that old ghost finally got his wish."
"Sometimes, luck is very important... That Divine Sword, it looks like it should be Sword Eighteen, I heard it had once belonged to the ancestor of old ghost Zhou’s lineage."
"Indeed... The Sword Intent comprehended in the same lineage does have a significant advantage in matching with a Divine Sword of the same origin."
Several Sword Masters then shifted their attention to Li Qian.
After all, among the five who matched with Divine Swords, two are True Disciples, and the other two are also among the most outstanding martial genius disciples of the Inner Sect.
Only Li Qian is inconspicuous.
Creating a stark contrast.
They could only attribute the reason to luck.
....
Inside the Sword Tomb.
Many gazes fell on Li Qian.
It was not just Pang Bai who was jealous.
There were also other disciples who did not match with a Divine Sword.
Although this trip to the Sword Tomb brought some benefits to these disciples,
The biggest benefit was lost.
Holding a Divine Sword not only greatly enhances combat power but also significantly boosts the efficiency of improving Sword Intent.
Every holder of a Divine Sword is sent back to the Sword Tomb after passing away, even those Divine Swords lost in battle are retrieved by the Divine Sword Sect at all costs.
The reason they don’t directly pass the Divine Sword to their own disciples’ descendants is mainly to prevent privatization of the Divine Swords, to avoid them being completely monopolized by certain individuals.
Also, the uniqueness of Divine Swords only truly shows its power after a successful match.
The so-called matching is essentially the Divine Sword recognizing its master.
"The Sword Tomb is now closed, all disciples leave immediately."
A Sword Master with an iron mask standing on the circular platform said.
Then, the twenty-some Inner Sect Disciples quickly returned to the circular platform, paid their respects to the four Sword Masters, and walked up the hanging stone path.
....
In the Divine Sword Hall Square, many elders and Peak Masters gathered.
Most of them were the masters of the Inner Sect Disciples who entered the Sword Tomb.
Some were just there for the excitement.
"Based on the time, the Sword Tomb should be closed by now."
Someone said.
"I wonder how many matched with a Divine Sword this time?"
"Anyway, I don’t hold out hope for my disciple."
"My disciple might have a chance."
"Fat He, your disciple is a True Disciple, yet you say might have a chance, are you trying to provoke me, you fat slob?"
"Hehe, not only my disciple is a True Disciple... isn’t Peak Master Wan’s disciple also a True Disciple? Just because one is a True Disciple, does it guarantee a match with a Divine Sword? Right, Peak Master Wan?"
"I don’t know if your disciple could match with a Divine Sword, but mine definitely will."
The speaker was a middle-aged female Taoist as cold as ice, carrying a sword.
That was the Peak Master of Purple Lightning Peak, Fairy Wan.
"Fairy Wan, if you put it that way, my disciple will definitely not have any problems either."
The chubby elder said with a chuckling smile.
.....
For these elder Peak Masters, using their own disciples to compete for prestige is a common affair.
