After Ling Xiao left.
The story of a young chivalrous person, who was half demon half hero, spread in the neighboring area of Sand Family Fortress.
Relying on his power, he destroyed Linglong Immortal Palace and killed Wang She, a core disciple of the Beast King Palace.
Rescued countless captured women, and restored the former peaceful days of Sand Family Fortress.
In fact, not long after this incident happened, Moonlight Sect sent someone to take over the place. Naturally, this happened purely because Moon Maiden greeted Chang Yueying.
After all, if the Beast King Palace vented its anger on Sand Family Fortress, a lot of people here might die.
It seemed that Moon Maiden, who looked so domineering and powerful, still had a very delicate mind.
……
Before returning to Moonlight Sect, Ling Xiao went to the Divine Sword Sect and left behind a large number of ordinary-grade treasured artifacts, excellent-grade treasured artifacts, gold, silver, and a large number of pills before rushing to Moonlight Sect.
After returning to the sect, Ling Xiao didn’t meet anyone. He returned to his cave-dwelling in the Outer Court, and began to prepare some things.
Fire of all, he used all those rare-grade treasured artifacts he got from the Evil Beast Demon King’s lair to refine all his thirty-six Big Dipper Swords into rare-treasured artifact-grade flying swords.
He also refined Flying Snow Sword in passing.
So far, he had two swords, Ice Dragon Sword and Flying Snow Sword, which were already rare-treasured artifact-grade swords.
And the thirty-six Big Dipper Swords had also become rare-treasured artifact-grade flying swords.
In the entire Moonlight Sect, basically, no one could surpass him in wealth.
Unfortunately, all the rare-grade treasured artifacts had been used up. Otherwise, he intended to give Dai Yuling a sword.
However, there were still three excellent-grade treasured artifacts, which he intended to give to Dai Yuling, Zhao Zhi, and Shangguan Lei.
He was giving one to Dai Yuling because of their friendship.
As for giving to Zhao Zhi and Shangguan Lei, it was to buy their hearts.
Don’t look at how they had already become inner disciples, it was still not easy to get an excellent-grade treasured artifact.
Especially defensive treasured artifacts.
It was the most difficult type of treasured artifacts, but had the greatest effect.
Later, Ling Xiao spent a day reviewing and absorbing the battle scenes of these past days, turning them into his battle experience, one by one.
Through such hard work these days, his <Nine Veins Qi Sword> finally entered the perfect state. It just took him two hours to comprehend his last three qi swords.
It was mainly because he had been trying to use <Nine Veins Qi Sword> in the battle of these days, and had accumulated a lot of experiences.
Just as he expected, after he condensed all nine qi swords, he comprehended the real move from the original formula.
After all, it was a peak-gold-grade martial art, it shouldn’t just be a qi sword attack. If it was just that, then it would be inferior to <Snow Lotus Sword Art>.
Now, he was relieved.
The comprehension of this move required continuous tempering, accumulation of experience, and then reading the formula again. Only then, one could have a new understanding.
It was a pity that he had just successfully condensed nine qi swords, and comprehended a move. This move was basically a formula to fuse with his Landscape Martial Soul and successfully condense an attack.
He let his martial soul clone test its power in the Landscape World, and it was very terrifying. Just this move was comparable to the last style of <Snow Lotus Sword Formula>.
This move’s key aspect was speed, moreover, not needing to unsheathe the sword to use.
It seemed that along with the improvement of his cultivation base and proficiency of various martial skills, even <Snow Lotus Sword Art> would gradually phase out.
However, this was the law of nature, and he didn’t care much about it. Since he began to walk on the martial path, he had practiced a lot of martial arts. And there had always been time for some martial arts to phase out. But these martial arts not only provide him with great combat power during that stage, but more importantly, they also provide knowledge and experience of practicing martial arts.
This was also a kind of accumulation.
If he hadn’t cultivated <Snow Lotus Sword Art> before, then it wouldn’t have been so easy to cultivate <Nine Veins Qi Sword> today.
In addition to <Nine Veins Qi Sword>, Ling Xiao’s <Shadow Transformation Sword Art> had also improved, and now, he could condense ten sword soul clones.
Yes, sword soul clone, not sword shadow clone.
The hunt of Crouching Dragon Mountain Range before had made him obtain a lot of sword-type martial souls, and he used those martial souls to turn all sword shadow clones into sword soul clones.
In the end, only three sword soul clones left were left. As long as he successfully condensed them, he could cultivate the moves of the <Shadow Transformation Sword Art>.
In fact, <Shadow Transformation Sword Art> was a substitute for <Snow Lotus Sword Art>.
Its grade was higher, was more powerful, and it was also a sword technique.
In addition, now, he had three Out of Aperture-leveled martial souls — Plague Demon King Martial Soul, Nymph Dragon Martial Soul, and Hemlock Martial Soul. Unfortunately, because the Landscape Martial Soul’s level was relatively low, it was temporarily impossible to improve them further.
Moreover, he had also imprisoned ‘Evil Beast Demon King’, recovering Ancient Golden Dragon, and an iron plate with killing intent that was not inferior to the pressure of the Ancient Golden Dragon.
As for other martial souls, he used a portion to strengthen Ancient Golden Dragon’s soul, and another portion was given to the Landscape Martial Soul to absorb.
The level of the Landscape Martial Soul was too low, so it must be upgraded. Otherwise, the other martial soul’s level would be stuck in the Out of Aperture level.
Fortunately, after absorbing so many martial souls, the Landscape Martial Soul reached the peak transparent level and might break through at any time.
It was just a matter of time because it would take quite a time to digest those absorbed martial souls.
According to his estimation, the Landscape Martial Soul could at least reach peak Incorporeal level, and it might even reach entity level.
The harvest in Sand Family Fortress and Crouching Dragon Mountain Range was truly great.
After doing these things, Ling Xiao left the cave-dwelling, preparing to give three defensive treasured artifacts to Dai Yuling and others.
In two more days, the Moon Advent Festival would start, and the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony would officially begin on the third day of the Moon Advent Festival.
The first three days also wouldn’t be leisurely, mainly because of the selection competition. Except for the seed disciples, the rest of the disciples who had not participated in the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony three times before could participate in the selection competition.
According to rumors, Moon Maiden had adjusted the rules for this Pagoda Climbing Ceremony’s selection matches.
Because of the successive appearance of the Plague Demon King and Evil Beast Demon King, coupled with the appearance of the Landscape Martial Soul, it seemed like there would be big changes in the Profound Realm.
Therefore, the rules were adjusted so that more disciples were eligible to participate in the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony.
The previous conditions were too strict, and there would never be more than twenty disciples, who would finally be qualified to enter the Moonlight Pagoda.
Sometimes, there would even be just one or two.
But it was different this time. The original rules wouldn’t be used, and it was confirmed that the quota for Pagoda Climbing Ceremony had been increased to fifty.
And these fifty quotas would be filled with competition.
In other words, regardless of anything, there would be no less than fifty disciples entering the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony.
This number seemed small compared to the number of Moonlight Sect’s disciples, but it was a lot more compared to the number of people who entered before.
