Chapter 69 The Discussion on the Dao in the Seven Domains Concludes
At the moment of near bodily contact, Sword Qi Filaments imbued with Slaughter Sword Intent pierced through Zhou Yuan's body, which had lost its scale armor protection and was completely defenseless, densely enveloped by Sword Light.
Puff!
The next moment, atop the arena's Array, Spiritual Light burst forth, enveloping Zhou Yuan's body at an unimaginably fast speed, completely sealing off the ferocious Sword Qi Filaments that seemed determined to annihilate everything.
This time, the activation of the Array was personally initiated by Taiyin Sect Leader.
Because all these reversals happened in the blink of an eye, the Array couldn't even react in time.
"This battle, Lu Qingshan wins!" The sonorous voice of Taiyin Sect Leader resounded, and in his eyes looking towards Lu Qingshan, there lingered a trace of astonishment and doubt.
Lu Qingshan's sword strike was very profound and mysterious.
"The ultimate victor of the Seven Domains' Sect Alliance debates," Taiyin Sect Leader took a deep breath and declared loudly, "Lu Qingshan!"
At this moment, the gazes of all the Cultivators converged simultaneously upon that slender and young figure in the center of the arena.
No one could have imagined that the Seven Domains' Sect Alliance debates, gathering countless geniuses of the Human Race, would be won by a Sword Cultivator barely in his twenties, until this scene unfolded.
As for Zhou Yuan, who stood somewhat disheveled to the side of the arena, at this moment, he was unconsciously being overlooked by everyone.
Under the brilliance of Lu Qingshan, Zhou Yuan seemed to become insignificant.
"Lu Qingshan won?" someone muttered in disbelief, still struggling to accept it.
"Impossible, how did Zhou Yuan lose? He was just in an invincible position!" a Cultivator exclaimed in disbelief, "Can someone tell me what exactly happened?"
...
Lu Qingshan glanced at Zhou Yuan, who had a deep expression and was lost in thought, and slowly exhaled.
Despite the tricks used and various strategic calculations in this battle, no matter what, he had won.
Shui Yue Pavilion Master descended slowly, and a vibrant green light filled with vitality flickered from her hand, merging into Lu Qingshan's body.
All sorts of external injuries on Lu Qingshan began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"My thanks to Shui Yue Pavilion Master," Lu Qingshan said, showing his gratitude with a bow.
Shui Yue Pavilion Master nodded, her gaze turning to the few Taoist Sect Cultivators around her and the High Realm Cultivators from various top Sects not far away. She spoke softly, "This time, the Seven Domains' Sect Alliance debates reach a perfect conclusion today.
The rankings for the top ten thousand, top thousand, top hundred, top ten, and ultimately the champion, have all been decided.
The various rewards previously promised will also be distributed to you afterwards.
However, before that, there is one very important matter that needs to be completed."
Shui Yue Pavilion Master paused, her gentle gaze sweeping over the faces of the hundred Cultivators who participated in the final arena battle. She smiled and said, "Gentlemen, you can now make your decision on which Sect you would like to join.
As previously promised, the Seven Great Daoist Sects and the hundred top-tier Sects will open their gates unconditionally for you to choose freely."
Shui Yue Pavilion Master's words once again caused an uproar among the audience.
When had the domineering Sects, high and mighty above all, allowed Cultivators to choose to join them freely?
This Seven Domains' Sect Alliance debate truly set an unprecedented precedent.
Many eyes were filled with fervent longing, envious of those hundred Cultivators.
"Lu Qingshan, which Sect do you wish to join?" Shui Yue Pavilion Master looked kindly at Lu Qingshan and called out loudly, "The Sects interested in Lu Qingshan can also actively compete for him, after all, despite the strength of the Daoist Sect, it is not the only choice."
As she spoke, Shui Yue Pavilion Master glanced at Taibai Sword Master beside her, her eyes seemingly smiling yet not smiling.
Following the conclusion of Shui Yue Pavilion Master's words, all Cultivators' eyes were once again focused on Lu Qingshan.
As the champion of the Seven Domains' Sect Alliance debates, it was no surprise that he was the center of attention.
"Lu Qingshan, before you make your decision, consider joining our Sect, the Taiyi Sword Sect.
"If I am not mistaken, the Secret Sword Technique you practice is indeed the Secret Sword created by Li Qiubai, the Sword Immortal of our Taiyi Sword Sect. Thus, it seems that you and our Sect are also somewhat fated," the voice of Zhuan Zhu the Great timely resonated at this moment.
Although Zhuan Zhu the Great knew the hope was slim, he decided to make an effort to compete for it in the end.
Like a chain reaction, following Zhuan Zhu the Great, one after another, strong representatives from different Sects spoke up.
Among the hundred leading Sects, there are twelve Sword Cultivation Sects, and without exception, all issued invitations to Lu Qingshan.
Sword Cultivators are naturally the path among the six cultivation types that most requires talent and inspiration. Their longing for true geniuses is naturally greater than that of Cultivators from other disciplines.
"The Sword Sect is the strongest sword cultivation Sect of the Human Race, second to none," the Taibai Sword Master finally said, eyes fixed on Lu Qingshan, after the other Cultivators had finished speaking.
This statement was domineering and arrogant, yet the invitation contained within it was unmistakably clear.
Even though the Sword Sect is the Sect least lacking in geniuses in the world, they could not remain indifferent to the talent that Lu Qingshan possessed.
Witnessing this grand occasion, the observing Cultivators could not help but swallow their saliva in envy, a feeling of covetousness manifesting in their hearts.
For these people, joining a top Sect was nothing more than an unattainable dream, yet for Lu Qingshan, several top Sects along with the Taoist Sects were waiting for him to speak.
Such is the treatment of a genius.
Lu Qingshan had long made up his mind and had no intention of posturing.
Lu Qingshan was straightforward. He respectfully clasped his hands toward the powerful figures of the top sword cultivation Sects that had extended him invitations, to express his gratitude, and then spoke to the Taibai Sword Master, "I have made my decision, I wish to join the Sword Sect!"
Whoosh!
A buzz of discussion arose; his decision was not surprising to them.
After all, who could reject the Taoist Sects?
The Taibai Sword Master nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Shui Yue Pavilion Master glanced at Lu Qingshan meaningfully and then proceeded to oversee the next steps.
Zhou Yuan chose the Rinsing Spirit Sect as expected.
Bai Guandao hesitated for a moment between the Armor Pavilion and the Great Pure Palace before finally choosing the resource-rich Armor Pavilion, leaving the Palace Master of Lingye somewhat frustrated.
But the choice that surprised everyone the most was Mo Yan's.
Faced with the invitation from both the Armor Pavilion and the Great Pure Palace, two Taoist Sects, he eventually chose the top Sect—the Candle Dragon Hall, which made Grand Master Jinyang smile like a blossoming chrysanthemum.
The first Cultivator to reject a Taoist Sect caused quite a stir, leaving many puzzled.
Lu Qingshan, observing Mo Yan's calm demeanor and determination in his eyes, however, could understand the reason for Mo Yan's choice.
There was nothing more to it than preference.
Just as he was fond of the sword, Mo Yan was similarly fond of the Fire Method.
Therefore, even with such a tempting offer from a Taoist Sect before him, he could still refuse it. Stay tuned for updates on My Virtual Library Empire
The Cultivators ranked in the top hundred of the Seven Domains discourse quickly made their choice of Sects.
Aside from Mo Yan, the other Cultivators chose to join the Taoist Sects they desired.
Lu Qingshan's gaze swept across the faces of these Cultivators, and a smile touched the corners of his lips.
At this time, these hundred Cultivators were still Golden Core Cultivators at most, with none higher than the Nascent Soul Initial Stage.
But, according to how the plot unfolds, these individuals, after the Seven Domains discourse, almost all gradually grew to become powerhouses of the Human Race that could dominate a region.
Thus, this Seven Domains discourse in the players' later recollections, was referred to as a time of glittering stars.
And he, had become the most dazzling star among them.
