This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Taibai Sword Master extended his hand and with a sweep, a ray of Spiritual Light shot out from his sleeve and merged into the clouds before them.

Then, the sea of clouds churned and slowly parted to reveal a path.

The six disciples followed Taibai Sword Master, their figures darting forward, completely entering the Sword Sect.

The moment they entered the Sword Sect, the clouds quickly closed again, enveloping everything once more.

Hiss!

In the next moment, Lu Qingshan sharply inhaled a breath of cool air.

He felt a wave of Spiritual Energy so rich it was almost viscous, nearly turning into liquid, rushing towards him.

"What a majestic and rich Spirit Energy!" Yu Cibei muttered to himself, hardly believing it.

The Spiritual Energy that pervaded this piece of heaven and earth within Sword Sect was at least a hundred times more concentrated than the outside world.

Moreover, this was not just in some cultivation secret realm within Sword Sect, but this was the condition of the entire Sect's world.

Such extravagance was truly somewhat terrifying.

Whoosh!

While they were still deeply moved by the incredibly dense Spirit Energy, a Sword Light burst forth at a rapid speed, eventually manifesting as the figure of a young Sword Cultivator dressed in a green shirt.

"Master." The green-shirt Sword Cultivator bowed respectfully to Taibai Sword Master.

"These six are the new disciples of Sword Sect, I have already sent you the details earlier, the rest I'll leave to you to arrange," Taibai Sword Master said with a smile.

The green-shirt Sword Cultivator nodded, "Master, rest assured, I will take good care of these junior brothers."

Taibai Sword Master slightly nodded his head.

He was very clear about his disciple's style of handling things.

After handing over Lu Qingshan, Cao Xiaoxin, Yu Cibei, and the other three new disciples to the green-shirt Sword Cultivator, Taibai Sword Master's figure flickered and had already disappeared from everyone's sight.

After seeing off Taibai Sword Master, the green-shirt Sword Cultivator turned around, his face wearing a warm and gentle smile, and introduced himself, "Junior brothers, my name is Ji Chuan, the current eldest senior brother of Sword Sect."

"We have seen Senior Brother Ji," the crowd said respectfully, a screen in their hearts.

They all felt the sharp aura that emanated from Ji Chuan, subtle yet present.

Such a powerful young Cultivator, who was also the chief disciple of the current generation in Sword Sect, personally guiding them into the Sect made them somewhat apprehensive.

"There's no need to be so polite with me, just bow normally," Ji Chuan said with a wave of his hand.

"People of Sword Sect dislike such superficialities, so the elders of our Sect, during the founding, decided to eliminate many cumbersome ceremonies straight away.

There aren't many processes to our Sect induction, just some necessary arrangements. Just follow me," Ji Chuan was very courteous to these six new disciples, he did not show any overbearing senior brother attitude, let alone something like hazing.

"Then we'll have to trouble Senior Brother Ji," under such circumstances, the earlier addressed 'senior brother' was out of formality, but now it carried a bit of real sentiment.

The six followed Ji Chuan, heading towards one of the slightly shorter peaks among the cluster of peaks surrounding the seven towering ones.

"Are you all very surprised by the richness of the Spiritual Energy inside Sword Sect?" Ji Chuan, seeing that the shock had not yet fully dissipated from their faces, asked with a smile.

"Is it the same in the other Taoist Sects?" Cao Xiaoxin asked cautiously.

"Of course not," Ji Chuan shook his head and smiled, "Such a scene is unique to our Sword Sect among the Human Race Sects, even the wealthiest Armor Pavilion cannot achieve this."

"Why is that?" Yu Cibei asked curiously.

"It's one of the unique features of our Sword Sect," Ji Chuan didn't keep the new disciples in suspense, explaining leisurely, "As everyone knows, among the Seven Taoist Sects, Sword Sect has the fewest members, but do you know the exact number?"

The crowd shook their heads.

"Three thousand one hundred and ninety-four," Ji Chuan paused, then added, "With the six of you, now it's precisely three thousand two hundred."

Three thousand two hundred people!!

As a Taoist Sect, the colossus of the Eastern Domain, Sword Sect's total sect population was actually only three thousand two hundred people.

Such an exaggerated and ludicrous number.

"So, just as you've seen, with so few people, our Sword Sect naturally doesn't need to be as stingy as other Sects," Ji Chuan laughed, "A vast Spirit Vein that could sustain hundreds of thousands of people's cultivation, shared by just these three thousand of us, creates the phenomenon you see now."

Ji Chuan's gaze became focused, and he asked in a soft voice, "You all must understand that Sword Cultivators require the most talent among the six systems of cultivation, right?"

The crowd nodded slightly.

This belief was similarly recognized in the Cultivation Realm.

The threshold for becoming a Sword Cultivator is the highest amongst the six cultivation paths.

For other schools, even if one's talent does not stand out, it is still possible to become a powerful cultivator with the help of external opportunities and fate.

But for Sword Cultivators, it is quite the opposite; they never concern themselves with external objects, relying solely on the three-foot sword in their hands.

Therefore, if you possess this talent, a lesser fate is not an issue, but if you cannot master the sword, no amount of resources will help.

"At the same time, Sword Cultivation is also the most exclusive among all the cultivation paths. In the cultivation realm, there are those who dual cultivate body and Dharma, Spiritual Power and Dharma, and so on, but as a Sword Cultivator, once you choose this path, you can only follow it to the end. There is no turning back, and no possibility of dual cultivation," Ji Chuan added.

Sword Cultivators revere the idea of one sword to vanquish all spells, cherishing purity and sincerity. Once they take up the sword, they will not touch any other object, and only by doing so can they continue on the path of Sword Cultivation.

This is represented in the game as the talent of specialization.

"Sword Cultivation is so profound and broad, and the philosophy of our senior members of the Sword Sect is this: we sword cultivators, not to mention that we can't waste our time cultivating other spells and Divine Skills, even on the accumulation of Spiritual Power, we should not spend too much time," Ji Chuan calmly narrated.

"The breakthrough from Golden Core to Nascent Soul is a qualitative metamorphosis that is difficult to force. However, the breakthrough from the initial stage of Nascent Soul to Nascent Soul Perfection is a quantitative accumulation, a matter of persistent effort.

The Sword Sect does not want its disciples to waste their time on such meaningless accumulation of quantity.

Therefore, the seniors of the Sword Sect released the Spiritual Energy accumulated in the Spirit Veins to create such a Cave Heaven Blessed Land for the Sword Sect disciples.

They provide such invaluable Spiritual Energy resources to each Sword Sect disciple without any charge, so that you can spend more time on the cultivation of sword techniques, the understanding of intent, and the enhancement of combat power," he said.

Such generosity! Such magnificence!

The Great King of the Western Rats, hidden inside Lu Qingshan's sleeve, stared with large, shining eyes, murmuring in astonishment.

And Lu Qingshan and the others, like the Great King of the Western Rats, were equally stunned.

It was no wonder that among the Seven Taoist Sects, the disciples of the Sword Sect always had the strongest combat power.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan finally understood why.

"This is also one of the reasons why our Sword Sect has such high requirements for accepting disciples," Ji Chuan said with a smile. "Such a Cave Heaven Blessed Land environment can only be maintained in the long term if there are less than five thousand people.

Otherwise, it would result in a deficit, where the amount of Spiritual Energy consumed exceeds the Spirit Vein's production. A vicious cycle that would ultimately exhaust the Spirit Vein's energy."

"This way..." Cao Xiaoxin said thoughtfully.

Seeing the six junior brothers in such a shocked state, Ji Chuan asked, "Do you know why, among all weapons, the staff is the head, the saber is the marshal, and the spear is the king, but in the end, among thousands of Magic Artifacts, only the sword remains the eternal protagonist.

"In the world, there is only the path of Sword Cultivation; there has never been a so-called Staff Cultivator or Saber Cultivator, have you ever considered why?"

This question left them at a loss.

They had always taken the existence of Sword Cultivators for granted and had never contemplated this issue.

Indeed, with so many Magic Artifacts, why is there only Sword Cultivation?

"Is it because... the sword is the strongest?" Lu Qingshan ventured.

Lu Qingshan was not certain, but that was what he believed.

Ji Chuan smiled, "You're Lu Qingshan, right? The champion of the Seven Domains Forum of this time?"

"It's me," Lu Qingshan nodded.

"You are right, it is for that reason," Ji Chuan said with a composed and light tone. "The reason there is only Sword Cultivation is simply because the sword is strongest, nothing else."

"The sword is the most common style of Magic Artifact in this world, possessing unique charm.

"Even Dharma Cultivators often choose the Sword Artifact as their own Magic Artifact, not to mention Sword Cultivators. The prevalence of Sword Artifacts, becoming a mainstream choice of Magic Artifact, is simple.

"In the survival of the fittest where the strong prey on the weak, the Sword Artifact has eliminated all other less common Magic Artifacts.

"Only the essence remains."

When Ji Chuan spoke these words, there was no pride or arrogance on his face, but the undertones in his words were brimming with extreme confidence and arrogance.

But this is indeed what Ji Chuan truly thought.

Since the establishment of the Sword Sect, the Sword Cultivators who have practiced in this region have always firmly believed this: the sword is the strongest weapon in the world.

It is something that flows in their blood.

It is also the most fundamental belief of the Sword Sect Disciples.
