Master Lembah Hua berteriak keras dengan keputusasaan, "Masalah sektegan sudah begitu ramai.”
"Kamu berbohong!”
"Saja, mengapa Saudari Hua harus menghabiskan tenaga begitu banyak untuk valley ini saja?"
"Betul bahasanya..."
"Jika tanya pada ku, kamu mungkin lebih baik menertifkannya saja demi kedamaian..."
"Ya, ya," kata wanita berjubah emas itu, "kalian semua memiliki kehidupan yang santai, jangan ribuan ribuan Saudari Hua."
Setelah berkata itu, dia mengambil tangan yang seperti jade putih Master Lembah Hua, lalu menyoroti lembut:
"Aku tahu ada sesuatu yang membebanimu, dan kamu sibuk sebagian besar hari, namun kamu harus tetap mengunjungi negara Taois suatu hari."
"Walaupun tidak bertemu kita saudara-saudara, setidaknya beri salam kepada Penghuni Nuansa Tua."
"Penghuni Nuansa Tua sangat mencintaimu, sering khabar tentangmu, jangan biarkan merasa kecewa..."
Master Lembah Hua mengemukakan ekspresi bersalah sedikit, lalu mengangguk ringan.
Wanita berjubah emas itu kemudian menampilkan senyum puas.
Di Batas Negara Pembelajaran Qian, banyak klan bangsawan yang ada, dan hubungan darah antara mereka sangat rumit.
Seperti pohon kuno dengan akar yang terkolaborasi dan tersambung secara rumit, kompleks dan tidak terurut.
Orang luar hanya melihat cabang dan daun yang menghalang pandangannya.
Tidak ada yang tahu siapa yang terhubung dengan perkawinan.
Siapa yang menyembunyikan hubungan keluarganya dengan siapa.
Siapa yang memiliki pendirian yang sama dengan siapa.
...
Dan di bawahnya, di Ruang Pandangan Pedang, dua lantai turun.
Terdapat Para Pengawas Sektegan Empat Besar.
Yang lebih bawah lagi, terdapat Para Pengawas Sektegan Delapan Gerbang, bahkan para Pengawas Sektegan Ratus Arus.
ParaPenguasa Sektegan Taixu, Tai’a, dan Gunung Chongxu tetap berkumpul di ruangan lama minum teh.
Ruangan sangat sunyi, suasana sangat berat.
Para Penguasa Sektegan tidak berkata apa-apa.
Sebelumnya, memantau diskusi pedang hanya sedikit tegang.
Namun kali ini, memilih kepala Delapan Gerbang melalui acara diskusi pedang adalah sesuatu yang sungguh menyakitkan.
Dan menyedihkan.
Yang paling unggul dalam sikapnya adalah Penguasa Sektegan Tai’a.
Ia berkata, "Saya sudah berbincang dengan Mo Hua."
Atas perkataan itu, Penguasa Sektegan Taixu langsung mengemukkan ekspresi barpukul, "Sebelum diskusi pedang berlangsung, jangan ganggu murid-muridnya."
"Saya berikan kepadanya Formasi Pedang Tai’a," kata Penguasa Sektegan Tai’a.
Penguasa Sektegan Taixu tidak memiliki lebih dari itu untuk dikatakan.
Memberikan barang bukan dianggap sebagai gangguan.
Namun Ia agak terkejut, "Kamu benar-benar bersikap begitu..."
Ini adalah susunan pedang.
"Mo Hua berkata, dengan formasi pedang ini, diskusi pedang bisa sedikit 'lebih mudah' dilakukan," kata Penguasa Sektegan Tai’a.
"Aku tidak perlu menekankan seberapa penting diskusi pedang ini."
"Jika dapat membantu meski sedikit, bahkan hanya membuat diskusi pedang 'sedikit' lebih mudah, itu sudah baik."
Penguasa Sektegan Taixu dan Penguasa Sektegan Chongxu kedua-duanya mengangguk setuju.
"Sebagai ganti, saysa telah memberikannya sebagian dari formasi pedang Gunung Chongxu saya."
"Formasi pedang Gunung Chongxu anda tidak mencukupi tingkatnya, bila kita bicara tentang pemijakan pedang, tentu Tai’a yang unggul. Kamu harus memberikan teknik pedang daripada itu..."
"Memberikan teknik pedang tidak akan membantu, anak murid Mo Hua tidak bahkan belajar tentang seni pedang..."
"Taixu Mountain tidak menekankan pewarisan seni pedang pula..."
Penguasa Sektegan Taixu tidak senang dan memperbaikinya, "Bukan karena tidak menekankan, ia berfokus pada niat pedang Taixu Mountain, sesuatu yang hanya dapat dipahami setelah mencapai tahap Inti Emas..."
"Setelah dipahami, kekuatannya melampaui ekspektasi."
"Bukankah itu hanya bicara?"
"Dengan membangun fondasi, membangunkan fondasi, mengapa membangun fondasi lagi?"
"Lebih dari itu, niat pedang dan titik spell yang disimpan oleh Taixu Mountain tidak sebagaimana dulu. Ada apa yang menawan tersisa now...？"
"Baik... Na hak asli sedang bekerja padatu itu..."
"Apa yang bisa dilakukan?"
"Baik... itu masih belum ditentukan..."
"Ya, kalau ada waktu, mari lihat apa yang terjadi, buka mata kita..."
...
Sementara mereka berbincang, ketiga orang tersebut segera tenang kembali.
Suasana kembali membebani.
Tiba-tiba, Penguasa Sektegan Tai’a menepuk dahi, "Teh, ya? Bukan kita minum teh?"
Penguasa Sektegan Chongxu mengeluh, "Tidak ada semangat untuk minum."
"Mari minum sedikit."
"Diskusi pedang akan segera dimulai."
Dengan napas ternyap, Penguasa Sektegan Tai’a berkata, "Diskusi pedang ini, akan berhadapan yang sangat keras, jika tidak binatang kembali, tidak akan ada pemenang yang jelas."
"Sektegan Daluo bukanlah sesuatu yang bisa didekati."
"Ada juga Ye Zhiyuan itu, dan Itu Daluo Kontrol Pedang Terbang..."
Dengan kata-kata itu, beberapa orang merasa khawatir.
"Minum sedikit teh, tenangkan hati."
Para Tua Taixu mengeluarkan kompor teh yang halus, air spring yang segar, daun teh yang hijau, lalu mulai membuat teh.
Namun pikiran ketiga orang itu tetap fokus pada arena.
...
Dan di saat itu, perhatian semua orang juga menyatu pada Panggung Gloria Surga, memantau pertandingan yang akan menentukan kepala Delapan Gerbang melalui diskusi pedang.
Hingga akhirnya, tidak ada yang tahu berapa lama pertandingan diskusi pedang itu akan berlangsung.
Tidak ada yang tahu jenis pertarungan yang sangat keras yang akan terjadi di dalam pertandingan diskusi pedang itu.
Nasib akhirnya tidak ada yang tahu...{]}
Hua Valley Master said helplessly, "Sect affairs are too busy."
"You’re lying."
"It’s just a Hundred Flower Valley, why must Sister Hua exhaust herself so much."
"Exactly..."
"If you ask me, you might as well just abandon it for some peace..."
"Alright, alright," said the golden-clad woman earlier, "you all have leisurely lives, don’t trouble Sister Hua."
After speaking, she took Hua Valley Master’s hand, white as jade, and whispered softly:
"I know there’s something on your mind, and that you’re busy on most days, but you should still visit Taoist State occasionally."
"Even if you don’t see us sisters, at least greet the Lady Dowager."
"The Lady Dowager loves you most, and often talks about you, don’t let her be disheartened..."
Hua Valley Master showed a look of guilt and nodded slightly.
The golden-clad woman then revealed a satisfied smile.
In Qian Learning State Boundary, aristocratic families are numerous, and the bloodline relations are intricately entangled.
Like ancient trees with roots twisted and interconnected, complex and disordered.
Outsiders see only branches and leaves blocking their view.
No one knows who is connected by marriage.
Who is hiding a family relationship with whom.
Who shares the same ancestor with whom.
...
And below in the Sword Viewing Room, two floors beneath.
Are the Sect Leaders of the Four Great Sects.
Lower still, are the Sect Leaders of the Eight Great Gates, and even the Sect Leaders of the Twelve Streams.
The Sect Masters of Taixu, Tai’a, and Mount Chongxu are still gathered in the old room drinking tea.
The room is very quiet, the atmosphere very heavy.
The three Sect Masters said nothing.
Previously watching the sword discussion was only a bit tense.
But this round, deciding the head of the Eight Great Gates through the sword discussion event, is a real ordeal.
And heart-wrenching.
The only one with a slightly better mindset is the Tai’a Sect Leader.
He spoke, "I’ve talked with Mo Hua."
At this, the Taixu Sect Master immediately frowned, "Before the sword discussion, do not disturb the disciples."
"I gave him the Tai’a Sword Formation," said the Tai’a Sect Leader.
The Taixu Sect Master had no more to say.
Gifting items isn’t considered disturbing.
However, he was somewhat surprised, "You really are willing..."
This is a sword array.
"Mo Hua said, with this sword formation, this sword discussion could be slightly ’simpler,’" Tai’a Sect Leader said.
"I don’t need to emphasize how important this sword discussion is."
"If it can help even a little, even if it only makes the sword discussion ’a little’ simpler, that’s good."
The Taixu Sect Master and the Chongxu Sect Leader both nodded in agreement.
"I should’ve said earlier, I already gave him a share of my Chongxu Mountain’s sword array."
"Your Chongxu Mountain’s sword array isn’t up to par, if we’re talking about sword casting, then it’s Tai’a for sure. You should give the sword technique instead..."
"Offering the sword technique won’t help, that kid Mo Hua doesn’t even learn swordsmanship..."
"Taixu Mountain doesn’t emphasize swordsmanship inheritance either..."
The Taixu Sect Master was displeased and corrected, "It’s not about de-emphasizing, it’s about Taixu Mountain’s swordsmanship focusing on sword intent, something only comprehensible after reaching the Golden Core stage..."
"Once understood, its power is beyond imagination."
"Isn’t that just talk?"
"This is a Foundation Establishment sword discussion, mentioning Golden Core matters, what’s the point?"
"Furthermore, the sword intent and spell points preserved by Taixu Mountain are not as they used to be. Is there anything impressive left to offer now...?"
"Well... The ancestor is working on it..."
"What could possibly be done?"
"Well... that’s still undetermined..."
"Alright, if you have time, let us see what’s happening, open our eyes..."
...
As they chatted, the three soon fell silent again.
The atmosphere became heavy once more.
Suddenly, the Tai’a Sect Master slapped his forehead, "Tea, eh? Weren’t we drinking tea?"
The Chongxu Sect Leader frowned, "No mood for drinking."
"Have a bit."
"The sword discussion is about to begin."
With a sigh, the Tai’a Sect Leader said, "This sword discussion, there will be a fierce battle, if not fought to the death, there will be no clear victor."
"Daluo Sect is not one to be trifled with."
"There’s also that Ye Zhiyuan, and that, Daluo Flying Sword Control..."
With these words, the few of them felt troubled.
"Have some tea, calm your heart."
Taixu Elders took out a delicate tea stove, fine spring water, lush tea leaves, and began making tea.
But the thoughts of the three remained focused on the arena.
...
And at this moment, everyone’s attention also converged on the Heavenly Glory Stage, anticipating this match that would decide the head of the Eight Great Gates through the sword discussion.
Until the end, no one knew how long this sword discussion match would last.
No one knew what kind of fierce battles would occur within the sword discussion match.
Nor did anyone know where the outcome would lead...
Soon, the sound of the Debating Bell rang out.
The sword discussion began.
The disciples of both sides entered the field.
This is a decapitation match, requiring the slaying of the opponent’s "leader."
Daluo Sect’s "leader" is Ye Zhiyuan, with the highest cultivation and strongest sword dao.
Taixu Gate’s "leader," however, is different from before, choosing Linghu Xiao.
Evidently, Taixu Gate knew this sword discussion is unprecedented, thus it dared not take any risks, nor let the fragile Mo Hua be the "leader" who would shatter or be defeated easily.
Ye Zhiyuan sneered.
"Even if you’re not the leader, do you think I won’t kill you?"
In this round of sword discussion, he not only wants to win and decapitate Linghu Xiao but more importantly, he wants to kill Mo Hua.
Killing Mo Hua would make him the "Alliance Hierarch."
To him, the position of "Alliance Hierarch" is no less valuable than leading the Eight Great Gates.
He is arrogant, sees no one in his eyes, but he isn’t a fool.
An organization encompassing the Eight Great Gates, Twelve Streams, and even part of the Four Great Sects’ Heavenly Pride Disciples, what it signifies and how important it is can be imagined even without thinking.
Previously, no one had such "cohesion," to gather such a vast array of Heavenly Pride to form an alliance.
Even if it is in name only, without much real power, such a Heavenly Pride "Alliance Hierarch" is nonetheless extraordinary.
