In the Heavens

Time flies by, and it is half a year in a flash. As the time for the meeting approached, the atmosphere on Mount Hua became more heated.

To become famous is always the theme of this rivers and lakes. Especially for young people, the allure of fame is greater.

In order to achieve good results in the big competition, the seed players retreated to prepare for the competition, and the atmosphere on the mountain took on a new look.

Affected by the upsurge in the cultivation atmosphere, even the disputes between the disciples of the two sword qi sects decreased, as if the conflicts disappeared overnight.

Li Mu is naturally happy to see this kind of change. How nice it is to be peaceful and harmonious now, why do you need to fight and kill?

It's just that freezing three feet doesn't happen in a day. The sword qi dispute has a long history, and the interests involved behind it are even greater, and it can't be resolved in a few words.

When it comes to the outside world, everyone can still work together. Once the external pressure is lost, it will be the time when internal fighting breaks out.

The question is, are there any enemies that make the Huashan faction fearful and tread on thin ice?

Unfortunately, the answer is no.

The Devil's Cult, the greatest enemy of the Five Sacred Sacred Alliance, has been caught in an internal power struggle since the last great war between good and evil.

The forces have already withdrawn from the northwest region, and the remaining sub-rudders are also trembling, and it is impossible to bring pressure to the Huashan faction in the short term.

Shaolin Wudang, that is the enemy hidden in the dark, it is far from the time to meet each other in battle.

On the surface, everyone is still a "good friend". Most Huashan disciples don't know these two enemies, and even the senior sect may not realize that the former allies have now become "competitors".

Apart from these three families, there are even fewer people in the Jianghu who can threaten the Huashan faction. The arrogant Songshan faction is still an obedient younger brother of the Huashan faction, showing no ambition at all.

In this context, even if the sect wants to use external enemies to divert internal conflicts, there is no room for it to be used. It can't provoke a war between good and evil again, right?

That would be really stupid.

Regardless of the four-legged martial arts structure, in terms of comprehensive strength, it is the most powerful force in the martial arts world to fight against most of the demon sects in the Jianghu by one's own strength, while the Five Sacred Sacred Alliance is at the bottom.

If it weren't for the support of the righteous sects, the Five Sacred Sacred Alliance's wealth would not be able to withstand the pressure of the Demon Cult.

Different from the orthodox sects, it takes more than ten or twenty years to train a disciple. The Demon Sect has gathered three religions and nine streams. The quality may not be good, but the quantity is definitely enough.

Except for a small number of elite congregants who were cultivated by themselves, the rest are all desperadoes gathered halfway, and they don't feel bad at all when they die.

If you really push people into a hurry and don't fight you head-on, just attack your family's property and single disciples, it will consume you to death.

Unless it involves their own interests, no one wants to fight with these barefoot people. Including the Five Sacred Mountains Alliance, the anti-magic vanguard that was launched, is no exception.

Therefore, most of the time, the war between good and evil is first provoked by the demon sect. The factions of the Righteous Path seldom take the initiative to attack unless they are forced to.

...

The Double Ninth Festival is approaching, and many people from the rivers and lakes have gathered in the Huayin area, and various conflicts and disputes have followed one after another. For a while, the Huashan disciples who are responsible for maintaining order are also under great pressure.

Li Mu also had to come out of the retreat. Thanks to the perfect combination of exercises, Li Mu's cultivation has taken another step forward after half a year of retreat.

Although he failed to break through to the first-class realm, compared with half a year ago, it is completely different. Especially the improvement in swordsmanship was beyond Li Mu's expectation.

Not only the basic swordsmanship has reached the peak, but even the most difficult sword sect's unique skills "Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng" and "Three Immortal Swords of Death" have been mastered.

But Li Mu's favorite is "Yangwu Sword Art". Although it is not very eye-catching among the many unique skills of Huashan School, it can't hold back the high-mindedness of swordsmanship!

Incorporating "Majestic Righteousness" into swordsmanship, the person who created this swordsmanship is definitely a genius, and has extremely profound swordsmanship attainments.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but when he was practicing the Yangwu sword technique, Li Mu sensed a trace of "sword intent".

This is also very remarkable. There are many people who use swords in the rivers and lakes, but very few can sense the sword's intent.

Among the Huashan School of Nuoda, there is only one Feng Qingyang who has touched this realm. Once crossed, it is a new world.

With Li Mu's cultivation base, he is naturally not qualified to truly comprehend the sword intent, but just relying on this vague feeling, he also benefited a lot from the practice of swordsmanship.

How powerful it is, without a specific reference, Li Mu himself can't figure it out.

It should not be difficult to stand out among the same class of disciples, but it is difficult to compare with the previous seniors.

Fighting not only depends on the level of martial arts, but experience in the world is also important.

The brothers in the same class are all rookies who lack experience, and at most they can learn from each other in the same class, and everyone is similar.

The brothers above are different. As the backbone of the Huashan faction, who often walks around the rivers and lakes, who doesn't have a few lives?

...

When I came to Master's yard again, it was much more lively than last time. Li Mu roughly counted, and there were thirteen brothers and sisters.

That's not all, as far as Li Mu knew, there were more than 30 people under Master Zhou Qingyun's sect, and there were 27 other people besides those who had already received the lunch box. If nothing else, this number will continue to increase in the future.

It seems that there are a lot of people, but in fact, if you look at it over a long period of time, on average, there are only three or four people in each session.

Accepting apprentices is also the responsibility and obligation of the elders in the sect. Among the elders, except for the youngest Feng Qingyang who has not yet accepted disciples, the others are a lot of disciples, big and small.

With so many disciples, it is naturally impossible for everyone to participate in the competition. Especially when there are outsiders, the threshold is even higher.

Li Mu roughly sensed that everyone present had the lowest cultivation level at the peak of the third-rate, and those with the highest cultivation had even reached the peak of the second-rate.

With the strength of his master's lineage, he can almost compare to the Huashan faction at the beginning of the show, so it's no wonder that Yue Buqun went crazy in the later stage.

Geniuses always attract much attention. Even though Li Mu has reduced his presence as much as possible, as the youngest disciple on the scene, Li Mu still attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared.

Jianghu believes in the strong.

It is also a second-rate realm, a second-rate in their thirties and a second-rate in their twenties are completely different concepts.

The former only has a chance to break through to the first class, but the latter is almost stable, and even has a big chance to go further.

Martial arts practice is also restricted. Except for the "Huashan Mind Method" that is good at health-preserving exercises, the fastest time for most martial arts cultivation to enter the country is in their twenties and thirties.

"I have seen all the senior brothers!"
