95: Chapter 95 The Beautiful Sect Leader... a Sculpture?

Su Li was about to say hello when she heard Mo Zixing say something with a smile.

She saw Jiang Yuwei still sitting beside them, and her cheeks instantly turned crimson as she glared at him fiercely:

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"What's wrong?"

Mo Zixing raised an eyebrow and spread his hands, saying with a serious face:

"I meant, come and spar with me."

"I've just learned an Ultimate Skill that feels very powerful, and I want to test its actual strength."

"You have the highest cultivation here, so who else would I ask?"

He smiled at Su Li, who was turning her head away in embarrassment, then turned to supplement his words to the curious Junior Sister sitting nearby:

"Yuwei, you watch and learn from the side. Later, let Su Li teach you some more."

Jiang Yuwei nodded obediently, clutching her copy of 'Shadow-Chasing Sword' as she moved her seat a bit further away.

"This technique isn't exactly standard swordsmanship; I feel it's more like a spell. Be careful when you respond."

Mo Zixing gave a reminder, his hand already beginning to condense spiritual energy.

"Alright, I understand."

Su Li took a deep breath, and the flush on her face beneath the Black Veil slowly faded.

She nodded and drew the long sword from her waist.

The sword's light flashed with a cold glint under the setting sun.

She subconsciously mobilized the spiritual energy within her body, but then paused, a flash of surprise in her eyes.

She actually felt that her cultivation had improved yet again.

It seemed she had already reached the Crystal Stage Level 5 Realm.

Not only that, her comprehension of the Sword Dao had somehow deepened significantly, and the feeling of holding her sword was more natural than ever before.

She didn't even need to think to know.

It was definitely Mo Zixing's doing.

She looked up at Mo Zixing, hiding her gratitude in the depths of her eyes as she said seriously:

"Since you want to test your strength, I won't hold back either. Be careful."

"Of course, come at me."

As the words fell, Mo Zixing was the first to strike.

Spiritual energy surged through his body.

Pure spiritual energy of the lightning, wood, and fire attributes condensed, transforming into a tricolored Flying Sword.

With a wave of his hand,

The Flying Sword shot rapidly toward Su Li.

This was merely a probing strike; he wanted to see exactly what kind of strength attacks of different intensities could unleash.

Su Li flicked her wrist and raised her hand to block.

Her long sword precisely struck the tricolored Flying Sword.

Clang!

A crisp sound of collision rang out.

The Flying Sword was barely parried away.

But Su Li's expression changed slightly, her eyes beneath the Black Veil filled with shock.

What powerful force!

That strike just now seemed ordinary, yet it appeared to have the spiritual energy of three attributes fused together.

The power it exploded with was actually no weaker than a full-strength strike she would make using a High Grade Crystallization Martial Skill.

This technique was definitely not simple.

Before she could recover from her shock,

She saw Mo Zixing's fingertips move again.

Two identical tricolored Flying Swords shot toward her simultaneously from the left and right.

Su Li didn't dare to be careless and immediately swung her sword to attack.

The speed of these two Flying Swords was extremely fast, and their angles were incredibly tricky; clearly, Mo Zixing was putting in more effort.

It took her some effort to successfully strike both Flying Swords away.

Just moments ago, she had been full of confidence because of her Breakthrough.

She thought that no matter how high Mo Zixing's talent was, she would still have a chance to hold her own for a while.

She didn't expect that after only two moves,

She was already starting to struggle.

At that moment, a third Flying Sword sped over silently, appearing above her head.

Su Li's heart tightened, and she hurried to defend, but it was already too late.

However, that Flying Sword did not descend.

Instead, it suddenly disintegrated above her head, turning into countless tiny specks of spiritual energy.

They fell like stars scattered across the sky.

It was stunningly beautiful.

But it didn't hurt her in the slightest.

By the time Su Li regained her senses,

Mo Zixing was already standing beside her at some point, withdrawing his spiritual energy with a smile.

"I have been defeated."

Su Li sheathed her long sword, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness, yet full of joy:

"You are truly strong now."

"Within the same rank, I'm afraid no one is your match anymore."

"Cough, let's keep it low-key."

Mo Zixing smiled and, with another thought,

This time, the spiritual energy of the three attributes condensed directly into six Flying Swords.

The Flying Swords circled around him, letting out a buzzing sound as they sliced through the air.

Sometimes they dispersed, sometimes they converged.

Not only were they flexible, but their attack frequency was also startlingly fast.

This Cultivation Technique was even stronger than he had imagined.

He had won against Su Li, who was at the Crystal Stage Level 5, using only three swords.

If he had the chance to awaken more Spiritual Roots in the future, wouldn't he be able to effortlessly crush Golden Core Cultivators?

"Oh, right."

Mo Zixing turned and said to Su Li:

"Yuwei also just learned 'Shadow-Chasing Sword', which is a High Grade Foundation Establishment Martial Skill."

"Guide her for a bit; I'm going to see how the handover of Qingsu Peak is going."

"Okay."

Su Li nodded and agreed.

Seeing her agree, Mo Zixing leaped up.

He turned into an afterimage and flew toward the bottom of the mountain.

He had originally intended to go directly to Liu Qingyan.

But just as he flew halfway down the mountain, he saw Grand Elder Great Elder Qin Cangyue rushing toward Qingsu Peak.

Great Elder Qin Cangyue also spotted him at a glance, and with a flash, he landed beside him and patted his shoulder:

"Kid Mo... no, I should call you Elder Mo now."

"The Grand Elder is joking,"

Mo Zixing said politely:

"I wonder if the Grand Elder is looking for me for something?"

"Indeed, there is something."

Great Elder Qin Cangyue nodded:

"While it's already been decided that you'll be the Elder of Qingsu Peak, we still need to go through the formalities."

"All newly appointed Peak Masters and Elders must go to the Sect Master to receive their Elder Seals for it to be official."

"Sect Master?"

Mo Zixing was stunned.

He had been in the Sect for so long, yet he had never heard that Mingyu Sect had a Sect Master.

In his impression, all matters of the Sect, large and small, were handled by Great Elder Qin Cangyue, the Grand Elder.

He had thought that Mingyu Sect simply didn't have a Sect Master, or that the Sect Master had fallen long ago.

"It's a long story; you'll know once you come with me."

Great Elder Qin Cangyue waved his hand, clearly accustomed to this:

"All previous Elders have gone through this. You'll understand when you see the Sect Master."

Mo Zixing's heart was full of curiosity.

He stopped asking questions and followed Great Elder Qin Cangyue toward the deepest part of the Sect.

The two of them passed through layer upon layer of mountain peaks.

They arrived at the Sect Master Hall, which had been vacant for many years.

The Sect Master Hall was built entirely of black stone; there were no guards, yet it exuded a desolate aura.

Great Elder Qin Cangyue raised his hand and released a burst of spiritual energy.

The heavy stone doors of the hall slowly opened, revealing a pitch-black passage inside.

"Follow me."

Great Elder Qin Cangyue's expression grew a bit more solemn as he led the way in.

Mo Zixing suppressed the doubts in his heart and followed him into the stone hall.

At the end of the passage was a massive circular hall.

There were no extra furnishings in the center of the hall.

Only a person-sized jade sculpture stood there.

The sculpture was of a woman.

Her figure was plump and graceful, with exquisite curves, exuding the unique warm charm of a mature woman.

Even as a static sculpture, it radiated an elegant and grand majesty befitting a Sect Master.

"This is the Sect Master of Mingyu Sect."
