Hum.
With a humming sound, Li Xuan's figure instantly landed in a grand hall.
"Damn, where did Miss Wan'er's teleportation array send me?" Li Xuan glanced around, then became vigilant.
The moment he appeared, Li Xuan sensed no less than a hundred beings whose aura was stronger than his.
The next moment, a figure instantly appeared before Li Xuan.
"Are you a sword cultivator?" The newcomer, hunched over, but with sharp, piercing eyes, looked at Li Xuan and immediately said.
Li Xuan nodded upon hearing this and clasped his fists. "Junior Li Xuan, I borrowed the teleportation array of Miss Chu Wan'er of Qingfeng Pavilion to come here to participate in the disciple recruitment. I just don't know why I appeared here. If I have offended you, I hope senior will forgive me."
A flicker of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes. "Qingfeng Pavilion's Chu Wan'er... No wonder you are here. But since you are here to join my Sword Sect, the assessment is still necessary. If you cannot pass the assessment, even Qingfeng Pavilion's face may not be enough to allow you to join the Sword Sect."
"Junior understands," Li Xuan nodded immediately upon hearing this.
The old man nodded slightly and said, "If you can pass the assessment, this old man will make an exception and take you as a disciple. Alright, follow this old man."
After speaking, the old man turned and walked out of the hall. Li Xuan followed him.
After leaving the hall, Li Xuan looked back and broke out in a cold sweat.
The place he had teleported to was actually the Sword Sect's Council Hall. Fortunately, it didn't cause any misunderstandings. Otherwise, with Li Xuan's current strength, he might not have been able to escape.
A few minutes later, the old man brought Li Xuan to the front of a mountain peak.
"If ordinary spiritual masters come to participate in the disciple recruitment, they will need to queue up in addition to the assessment. However, since you were recommended by that girl Chu Wan'er of Qingfeng Pavilion, this old man can make the decision to let you skip those steps."
The old man paused and continued, "There are ten swords in this mountain. If you can find any one of them and successfully form a master-servant bond, you will pass the assessment. Of course, you cannot use any of your own power in this mountain."
With a wave of his hand, Li Xuan was instantly pulled into the mountain peak by an invisible force.
Boom!
With a booming sound, Li Xuan's figure heavily landed on the mountainside.
Immediately, Li Xuan's expression changed. The moment he appeared on this mountain peak, Li Xuan realized that all his spiritual power and cultivation realm had been sealed. Even his physical strength was completely unusable at this moment.
"Ten swords... this assessment is rather unique," Li Xuan muttered to himself, then looked around and walked forward.
At the same time, three figures appeared beside the old man.
"Sect Master, is the arrival of this fated person a blessing or a curse for my Sword Sect?" a middle-aged man asked the old man.
The old man smiled slightly. "If it's a blessing, it's not a curse. If it's a curse, it cannot be avoided. Besides, when has my Sword Sect ever feared anyone? I observe that this child is extraordinary, and there is not the slightest trace of karma around him, indicating that a powerful being is protecting him."
"You don't need to worry too much. Even if Chu Wan'er of Qingfeng Pavilion has ulterior motives, if she plots against the fated person, she will only be shooting herself in the foot. And if she intends to forge a connection, sending this fated person into my Sword Sect is a win-win situation."
The old man then looked at the mountain peak and said slowly, "The fated person is a sword cultivator himself, and his attainments are likely not inferior to ours. If it weren't for his insufficient years of cultivation compared to ours, how would our Sword Sect have the qualification to assess him now?"
"In that case, why not directly recruit him into the sect?" an old man asked with some confusion.
The former smiled and said, "If that were the case, how would you be able to witness the uniqueness of this fated person? Moreover, even for a fated person, the rules set by our ancestors cannot be violated."
"Rest assured, if he cannot even pass this assessment, my Sword Sect will have no use for him,"
As if seeing through the thoughts of the three, the old man's gaze shifted to the mountain peak and said.
And at this moment, a ninth-tier Xuan beast appeared before Li Xuan.
Li Xuan looked at the ferocious, three-zhang-tall Xuan beast and gave a wry smile.
"If I said I was just passing by, would you believe me?"
