After continuous refinement.
Finally, in the torrential rain, the originally silver-white Floating Snow Sword turned into a clear water-like sword.
Ling Xiao named it ‘Overturning Rain Sword’.
After this sword had been remolded, its attribute had changed, and its effect had also changed.
“Overturning Rain Sword, rare-treasured sword-grade martial weapon, rain attribute, can double the power of rain-attributed true essence. When used, 20% chance of corrosion damage, which continues unless it is treated. Have an attached skill, ‘Decomposition Sword Rain’, which can attack enemies in a large area, forming a strong corrosive effect. The stronger the sword master, the stronger the corrosive effect, but it’s limited to Transcendence Realm.”
The process of refining Overturning Rain Sword was not easy. Originally, Ling Xiao planned to finish it in one day, but it actually took two days.
But it was a success in the end, which made Ling Xiao look forward to its effect.
He also planned to learn to make ‘Purple Lightning Shock the World’ arcane scrolls from Venerable Yuan, but he could only put it on hold for now.
Because the Moon Advent Festival was coming, the battle for quotas of the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony would start today.
In addition to ten seeded participants, there were forty spots for many disciples.
These ten seeded participants were basically the disciples of the Inner Elders. Naturally, their cultivation base was also not weak, basically above Rank Seven Transcendent Realm.
There were even two core disciples. Shen Tianlin was one of them.
Naturally, there, furthermore, was the eliminated core disciple, Li Zonghao.
He was also one of the seeded participants. Although he had just been knocked out from the top ten core disciples, he was still the strongest disciple under the core disciples.
After leaving his cave-dwelling, Ling Xiao looked up at the sky. It was still early morning, and it seemed that his timing was relatively accurate.
He walked quickly towards the inner court square.
After all, the disciples competing for the forty spots were inner disciples and outer disciples. Everyone wanted to try their luck.
In any case, they wouldn’t die even if they failed here.
Therefore, the ordinary venue was definitely not enough, and the inner court square which was big enough was needed.
Even before Ling Xiao arrived here, a lot of people had already gathered in the square. Along the way, many moon-shaped lanterns, couplets, and banners were hung on both sides.
They symbolized that the Moon Advent Festival had arrived.
Moonlight Pagoda stood there. It still looked mysterious and scary.
What is there in the Moonlight Pagoda that I cannot see at a glance?
This had always been a matter Ling Xiao was curious about in his heart. But this was an excellent chance to satisfy his curiosity, and he naturally refused to miss it.
Not long after, Ling Xiao arrived at the square and joined Zhao Zhi, Dai Yuling, and Shangguan Lei.
At this moment, he noticed that the light blue moonlight above the Moonlight Pagoda had become more obvious, and it seemed to be covered in a mysterious veil.
Moon Advent Festival was held once a year.
And Pagoda Climbing Ceremony was also held once a year.
However, each martial artist just had three opportunities.
Therefore, for the martial artists who came here today, this opportunity was very rare.
One less opportunity meant one less chance to become a carp jumping over the dragon gate.
“Senior Brother Ling, among our Outer Court, you are the strongest. If you strive to win the glory for our Outer Court, we will wave your banner and cheer for you.”
Although there were many outer disciples who signed up for the competition, everyone estimated that they would be eliminated in the first round. It was basically impossible for them to earn a spot.
The only person who had a chance was naturally the unfathomable Ling Xiao.
“You all can rest assured, with Senior Brother Ling’s strength, it’s guaranteed!”
Zhao Zhi said confidently.
Zhao Chi, who was beside him, couldn’t help frowning upon hearing this.
She had always looked down on Ling Xiao. She always felt that Ling Xiao was too arrogant, moreover, his means were too cruel.
In particular, when Ling Xiao killed the fellow sect disciples, her maiden heart was thoroughly furious.
Since then, she had never spoken to Ling Xiao again.
And pretended to be aloof, but Ling Xiao was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Now, with the help of Ling Xiao, Dai Yuling had already stepped into Rank Three Transcendent Realm.
Zhao Zhi was also at Peak Rank Two Transcendent Realm.
As for Shangguan Lei, his cultivation base was also not low. Now, his cultivation base was already Peak Rank Four Transcendent Realm.
On the other hand, Zhao Ci’s cultivation base was still at Late Rank One Transcendent Realm. Her cultivation speed was as slow as a snail.
In fact, Zhao Zhi had secretly persuaded his younger sister.
But it was useless. His sister had been truly spoiled since she was a child, and she always felt that everyone had to be done according to her wishes.
Now, Zhao Zhi was too lazy to care about her.
When people were talking with each other, more and more people gathered in the square.
Even the core disciples, who weren’t participating, had also come.
Their reason for coming was also simple. Those who won the quota might become their strong competitors in the future, so it was better to observe them here.
Apart from some disciples who couldn’t come back, or who were performing secret missions or guarding the gate, basically, all other disciples had gathered here in the inner court square.
After all, this was one of the grandest ceremonies of the Moonlight Sect.
“Let’s go and greet Senior Sister Lan.”
Ling Xiao said to Dai Yuling.
“She is not my senior sister, but my master.”
Dai Yuling made a wry smile, but her feet were not slow.
Shangguan Lei greeted Ling Xiao, then stood behind Meng Yuan. After all, on the surface, he was still on Meng Yuan’s side.
As for Zhao Zhi, he stood in the same place.
He wanted to be Ling Xiao’s friend, not his sidekick, and he won’t follow Ling Xiao everyone, after all, he still had the prince’s dignity.
Besides, he was not familiar with Lan Yu’er. If by chance she hated him, then that won’t be good.
“Tsk tsk, truly envious. Look at that Ling Xiao, he is actually so close to Lan Yu’er, who ranks second among the core disciples.”
“There’s nothing we can do, who asked him to look so handsome?”
“Yes, it is said that even Her Majesty the Moon maiden might accept him as a disciple.”
“Putui, don’t speak nonsense, how is that possible?”
“Yes, Her Majesty the Moon Maiden was just joking. Do you truly think that that Ling Xiao can get first place in the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony with his strength?”
“That’s also true.”
“Poor Ling Xiao, he is so pitiful.”
Those people who were saying these things, how would they feel if they learned that Ling Xiao and Moon Maiden had lived together intimately in the Thousand Ghost Forest?
Ling Xiao didn’t care about what those people said.
From the Ling clan to Hidden Dragon Battalion to here, many people talked about him, but they had just become passersby now.
And he had already become a mighty figure of the Moonlight Sect.
He even had the qualification to challenge the core disciples.
This was real progress!
“Hehe, Senior Sister Lan, what a coincidence! I’m also participating in Pagoda Climbing Ceremony this time. At that time, when I meet this little junior brother, should I treat him well?”
Among the top ten core disciples, there was another charming woman. Her name was Tantai Lingzi. She was the current sixth-ranked core disciple, which was higher than Meng Yuan.
If she wanted to make things difficult for Ling Xiao, then Ling Xiao would truly be in trouble.
“If you dare to hurt him, I will kill you!”
Lan Yu’er said coldly.
“Senior Sister, don’t be angry. She can’t hurt me!”
