Chapter 97: The Great Change of the Sword Mountain! Where Did That Huge Mountain Go?!

It was well known that a person’s spiritual power was limited and could not cultivate both Daos at the same time. However, there were also special circumstances. For example, for people with strong spiritual power, even if they could refine pills and weapons at the same time, they would not be able to achieve top-notch results.

Everyone knew about the strength of Bai Haoyu and Ou Yechen. In addition to the sudden appearance of the dark horse Wang Dazhu, Gu Xi was able to defeat the three of them. One could imagine how terrifying his strength was.

That person scoffed, “How can there be such a coincidence? There are people with the same name and surname. I heard that Bai Haoyu and Ou Yechen seemed to have suffered quite a blow, and as soon as they returned, they began to enter closed-door cultivation.”

There was a moment of silence in the air. No one spoke for a long time. After a while, they said, “This kid is too abnormal, too monstrous! He can even refine a Divine Pill and Divine Sword. What else is there that he can’t do?”

“But I heard that this Gu Xi is only from a small sect. How can he have such strength?”

“Maybe he’s pretending. Maybe he’s an important figure from an extremely powerful family and sect who came out to train. He admitted that he has a mysterious Master when he was refining pills.”

“Several super sects in the weapon refining arena all want the Divine Sword. They might ask Gu Xi to help refine a divine weapon for them. The competition has just ended, and they’ve already invited Gu Xi to their sects.”

Compared to the temptation of Flawless pills, the temptation of a divine weapon was obviously greater. After all, having a divine weapon could greatly increase one’s combat strength, and there were no side effects.

Everyone gasped, “Did Gu Xi agree?”

“In the end, it was Green Lotus Princess who spoke up. She said that Gu Xi had been through a lot in the competition and had to rest before making any plans. That was why this matter was settled.”

The expressions of the others became even more interesting. “Green Lotus Princess! Gu Xi actually had a relationship with Green Lotus Princess? To think that the Princess herself stepped in...”

Many people could smell the scent of gossip.

“There’s still the competition for the array formation and talismans. I wonder who will be the champion.”

“It can’t be Gu Xi again, right?”

Everyone almost fell into the fear of being dominated by Gu Xi.

If someone had said this to them in the past, they would definitely disdain it and think that it was a fantasy.

However, Gu Xi had crushed the entire venue in the alchemy and weapon refining competitions one after another, leaving everyone behind. He had caused such a huge commotion. What could he not do?

“Perhaps there really is such a possibility. Since the Divine Pill and Divine Sword have been refined, he doesn’t care about creating a few Divine Talisman and Divine Aawrrays, right?”

There was a bit of banter in everyone’s words. However, the information that was invisibly revealed indicated that they already believed that Gu Xi really had the strength.

Even if he did not, obtaining an absolute victory in the two competitions would be unprecedented. Gu Xi was without a doubt the most outstanding participant in the Dao Conference Competition in the Capital.

The news spread through the streets and alleys, and almost everyone was discussing it. It could be said that Gu Xi’s name was deeply engraved in everyone’s minds.

However, on that night, the movements from the Sword Mountain shook the entire Capital!

As dusk descended, the night was like a dark owl spreading its massive wings, enveloping the entire sky of the Capital. Under the night, the enormous Sword Mountain was like an ancient behemoth that was about to awaken, emitting rumbling sounds.

Within the Sword Mountain, there was no chirping of insects or birds. It was even extremely quiet, sinking into a sort of deathly stillness, as if it knew what was about to happen.

Countless swords were shaking madly, as if they wanted to break free from the restrictions here. From the depths of the Sword Mountain came one buzzing sound after another. It sounded as if there was an ancient Divine Sword that connected Heaven and Earth.

As the first Divine Sword flew out from the depths of the Sword Mountain, the other weapons seemed to have received a signal of approval and woke up from their deep sleep once again.

Streams of light streaked across the horizon like countless meteors, rendering it as bright as day. Such a phenomenon only appeared for a moment before a thick fog came over, as if there were a pair of invisible hands deliberately covering everything.

The secrets of the Heavens could not be revealed. The stars flickered in the sky, using this to cover up the secrets of the Heavens.

Rumble!

A loud sound could be heard, and everything returned to calm. The strange phenomenon was no longer there. All the stars were hidden in the sky, not a single speck of light could be seen. Only the crescent moon hung high in the sky, sprinkling down a cold silver glow. It witnessed everything that had just happened.

The movements here were quickly noticed by the people of the Capital.

Quite a few people even woke up from their deep sleep. Hearing the loud bang, the ground began to shake violently. They thought that an earthquake had occurred, and they all ran out of their homes.

“What’s going on!”

“It seems to be in the outskirts of the Capital.”

Someone opened his mouth wide and looked at the sky. “Look!”

Countless divine lights suddenly appeared above their heads. Shockingly, they were all sects and factions of the Capital. The powerful pressure they exuded made these ordinary cultivators feel endlessly terrified.

They flew on their swords. Under the moonlight, they were like Immortals, and their energies were surging around their bodies. Even the imperial family had sent people to investigate.

“The Ancient God Sect and the Supreme Sect are all super large sects. Even they were alarmed. Just what happened in the suburbs of the Capital?”

In the suburbs of the Capital, other than a few mountains and forests, the most famous one was the Sword Mountain. Someone took a guess, saying, “Could something have happened to the Sword Mountain?”

From the looks of it, this was the only possibility. After all, only the Sword Mountain could create such a huge formation. However, the Sword Mountain had stood for tens of millions of years, and it had always been peaceful. What could have happened?

Everyone was puzzled, and they discussed animatedly. Some even said that it was a Beast Tide.

“Let’s go and take a look.”

Many powerful rogue cultivators also rushed over, wanting to find out what was going on.
