Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 1145 1146: Celestial Mountain Unsealing the Sword

"Senior sister, that's Brother Jian Cheng, now at the seventeenth step of Sword Unsealing!" In the crowd, Qin Ruoqiu spoke to senior sister Yun Meng, and Yun Meng's beautiful eyes revealed a trace of admiration.

Yet Yun Meng knew clearly that, with her talent, she was not in the same world as Jian Cheng.

Jian Cheng shines peerlessly and is extraordinarily graceful, not to mention he is the Sect Leader's disciple, whereas Yun Meng is just an ordinary disciple of the Celestial Sect. In terms of talent and status, Yun Meng simply cannot compare to Jian Cheng.

Even though Yun Meng counts as a somewhat outstanding person, here, there are plenty of people with talents equal to hers, which makes Yun Meng, Qin Ruoqiu, and others seem quite ordinary.

At this moment, Mu Yuan spoke to Qin Ruoqiu, "Jian Cheng is the Sect Leader's disciple; achieving the seventeenth step in Sword Unsealing is naturally within his reach. And besides, there are only a few people in Phoenix City with talent like Brother Jian Cheng!"

"Second Senior Brother is correct!" Ling Feng chimed in. "The Celestial Sword Wall reappears, with twenty-seven steps on the Sword Ladder, each step representing Sword Intent. Brother Jian Cheng specializes in sword mastery, and in my opinion, seventeen steps are definitely not his limit!"

"Is that so?" Qin Ruoyu's beautiful eyes stared in admiration at the figure standing on the seventeenth step; this was someone from their Sword Sect.

"Of course!" Ling Feng replied.

Then, everyone turned their gaze again toward the Sword Wall; on the seventeenth step, Jian Cheng stood proudly and alone, surrounded by terrifying Sword Qi, as if every pore on his body was emitting it.

Thud~

At that moment, more footsteps sounded.

Swish swish swish~

Instantly, many eyes turned to the steps again, seeing a young figure standing shoulder to shoulder with Jian Cheng, exuding a terrifying aura with the Sword Qi reaching the skies.

"Profound Sect, Zhan Mo!" someone spoke up. "He also accomplished the seventeenth step in Sword Unsealing!"

Zhan Mo, a prodigy of the Profound Sect, at the Fifth Layer of Martial King, already famous in the Primordial Ancient Realm, was indeed extraordinary. Standing next to Jian Cheng was naturally not an unusual sight.

"Brother Jian, how have you been?" Zhan Mo spoke to Jian Cheng, who glanced at Zhan Mo but did not respond, showing his usual cold arrogance.

"I, Gu Xiao from the Cloud Sect, refuse to lag behind!"

Thud~

Before the voice fell silent, another young figure stepped forward, taking a step onto the seventeenth layer of the stairs, arrogantly gazing at the multitude.

This may be Sword Unsealing, but it is also a competition among prodigies.

After all, as prodigies, their hearts are all arrogant; Zhan Mo, Jian Cheng, and Gu Xiao are no different.

Three sect prodigies compete at the Celestial Sword Wall; who dares to admit defeat?

"Seeing your sharpness, how could this little lady resist!" A charming laugh caught many eyes. They saw a woman walking gracefully, naturally exuding an enchanting aura, with steps seemingly filled with mystical magic, drawing people in unwittingly.

"Moon Viewing Sect's Xuan Yue also accomplished the seventeenth step of Sword Unsealing!" someone exclaimed, eyes filled with admiration. Xuan Yue stood firmly on the seventeenth step, as steady as a mountain.

One layer, one step, one layer, one Sword Intent.

Currently, the two men and one woman standing on the seventeenth layer are bound to be the most dazzling geniuses of the day, especially Xuan Yue, attracting many eyes.

The reason being her beauty.

Compared to Xuan Yue, Qin Ruoyu and Qin Ruoqiu's looks are rather average.

At this moment, Ye Qingcheng looked across at the three, with little emotion on her face.

Then, she gracefully walked toward the steps, coming solely for sword enlightenment, without intending to compete.

However, Ye Qingcheng felt with each step toward the stairs that the Sword Intent contained within the Celestial Sword Wall became colder. Despite her manly disguise and maddeningly handsome appearance, at this time, no one would pay attention to her.

After all, on the path of Martial Arts, talent is most crucial; without talent, being handsome is useless.

Finally, Ye Qingcheng's foot landed on the first step.

Swoosh~

Upon her footfall, Ye Qingcheng immediately felt overwhelmed by immense Sword Intent, as if she entered another world, one filled only with swords.

"Is the Saintess starting now?" Xiao Jiu's eyes sparkled with excitement as he spoke, "Sword Unsealing at the seventeenth step, I think it's just so-so!"

Swish swish swish~

His words attracted many disdainful looks as they scoffed.

Someone spoke, "Where did this arrogant fellow come from, daring to comment on Jian Cheng and others at the seventeenth step; how laughable!"

"More than laughable, just a senseless fool!"

"..."

Many people voiced their disdain, and Xiao Jiu continued, feeling thrilled, thinking finally he could mimic his boss's flair. Didn't his boss rise against all odds and confront everyone's disdain head-on?

Damn, with the boss absent, today will be Xiao Jiu's day to shine.

Thinking this, Xiao Jiu followed Ye Qingcheng onto the first step.

"Senior sister, it's those two!" Qin Ruoyu's eyes flashed with disdain. Yun Meng looked on calmly, "Indeed, two senseless people; do they even have a place in Sword Unsealing here?"

"How laughable!" Qin Ruoqiu interjected, "Earlier, they wanted to join our Celestial Sect, flattering Mu Yuan and Ling Feng absurdly; now trying Sword Unsealing, they'll likely be knocked off at the first step!"

"You know them?" Lu Hao asked.

"Ha, not likely; they're just two locals. Would our standards be that low to associate with such riffraff?" Qin Ruoqiu laughed dismissively, how could they have the qualifications to be friends with her?

After all, Qin Ruoqiu is part of the Celestial Sect.

Currently, Ye Qingcheng and Xiao Jiu on the stairs naturally attracted no attention, as the crowd's gaze focused on the most dazzling individuals.

At this moment, Ye Qingcheng felt the whole world changed; this world is dominated by Sword Qi, regardless of the noise behind, her resolve remained unaffected.

Looking up, the stairs became a path to the Celestial Mountain.

On the ancient path, the peak of Celestial Mountain, a giant sword floated there, endless Sword Intent rushing toward her.

The Celestial Sword Wall, left by a generation of Sword God, with a realm far from ordinary.

It can be said any strand of Sword Intent contains supreme Sword Qi, exquisite beyond measure.

Buzz~

A fierce wind arose, a sword struck down, tearing everything, making Ye Qingcheng's brows furrow; she, chosen by the heavens, possessed perception beyond ordinary. As the sword approached, she delved into the Divine Thought, engaging the Great Nature Observation Method.

This Great Nature Observation Method is her inherent talent.

It can grasp all that nature contains, all realms evolve from nature.
