Vol.2-Chapter 191 – Sword Pavilion Ranking

Fu Honglin gently shook her head. She was as calm as water and wasn’t affected by Yan Wenfei’s violent aura. Fu Hongling softly said, “You are still up to the same old tricks. After so many years, you’ve made no progress at all. Didn’t your teacher tell you that the higher your cultivation becomes, the more important your mental state is? You must return to your origin. External objects are, after all, external objects. They can help you improve your strength but are not part of your own strength.”

After she finished speaking, she looked a bit bored and became silent. Fu Hongling’s casual look made Yan Wenfei even more angry. She felt that Fu Hongling was showing contempt toward her and looking down upon her.

Yan Wenfei injected spirit force into the mirror, and the originally dark mirror shined. The dark yellow light was bright at first but soon became foggy.

Fu Hongling didn’t panic at all. They had battled an unknown amount of times since they had joined the sect. How could she not know what Yan Wenfei had up her sleeve? She had seen Yan Wenfei’s abilities countless times.

A gentle breeze flew by, causing Fu Hongling’s dress to sway. Fu Hongling emotionlessly watched Yan Wenfei launch her attack.

The Heavenly Phoenix Sword hummed softly and exuded a firey-red glow. When Fu Hongling saw the pillar of light, she actually laughed.

Everyone was dumbfounded by this laugh. Very few people had ever seen the cold Fu Hongling laugh. The dazzling pillar of light looked pale compared to her laughter. No one knew why she was laughing, but even Zhao Jiuge was affected by her laughter.

An even more terrifying aura than Yan Wenfe’s spread out from Fu Hongling. Due to the purple hairpin, Fu Hongling’s hair didn’t scatter in the wind.

Shortly after, everyone saw the Heavenly Phoenix Sword move with a sharp shrill. Bright rays of light flew everywhere. As the Heavenly Phoenix Sword danced, rays of sword energy shot out one after the other. The speed of the sword continued to increase, creating afterimages.

Zhao Jiuge couldn’t help but become dumbfounded. He didn’t think the sword art could be used like this. Staring at the rays of sword energy, Zhao Jiuge couldn’t help but swallow hard. Looking at the mysterious sword energy that could easily kill him, he couldn’t comprehend it at all.

While Zhao Jiuge was admiring the sword art, the people with higher cultivation were amazed by the aura Fu Hongling was releasing. From the spirit force pressure she gave off, she was at the peak of the Soul Formation Realm and was showing signs of breaking into the Spirit Sea Realm. This made Leng Rufeng’s senior brother and Luo Bowen’s senior brother feel a sense of bitterness in their hearts.

The two of them subconsciously looked at each other, and a moment later, the gentle young man who admired Fu Hongling said, “It seems like Fu Hongling is going to leave us further and further behind. From her aura, she is not far from breaking through to the Spirit Sea Realm. When that happens, the difference between our strength will be like the difference between heaven and earth.” After he finished speaking, he couldn’t help but feel bitter. They were disciples of the same generation, and he originally thought that as time passed, the gap between them would close. Instead, the gap had widened more and more.

Looking at the gentle young man, the slightly dark-skinned young man had a bitter smile and said, “It looks like there is no hope for us to suppress these two on the Sword Pavilion Ranking. As this new generation of disciples grows, it's time for our generation of disciples to enter the elder council.”

The gentle young man also understood this and nodded. Even when they entered the elder council, they would only be the lowest-ranked elders, as they were only at the early stage of the Soul Formation Realm.

Zhao Jiuge was originally not very interested, even when Luo Bowen’s senior brother talked about Fu Hongling. However, when he heard the words “Sword Pavilion Ranking,” he became interested.

Luo Bowen was also interested, so before Zhao Jiuge could ask, Luo Bowen said, “Senior Brother, what is the Sword Pavilion Ranking?” Luo Bowen looked at his senior brother with a curious gaze.

The gentle young man looked at Luo Bowen, then he lazily explained the Sword Pavilion Ranking.

It turned out that the peak the Sword Pavilion was on was called the Sword Pavilion Peak. The Sword Pavilion contained not only the plaques and life swords of every disciple that died, but also the life lamp of each inner sect disciple. A life sword was the flying sword that the disciple used the most. It was usually a spirit treasure-grade sword, and only after being refined inside the purple palace after reaching the Nascent Soul Realm could it be considered a life sword.

Outside the Sword Pavilion was a large, stone monument that recorded the 10 most powerful inner sect disciples that had cultivated for less than 200 years. After 200 years, these disciples would basically all enter the elder council. After which, they would be in closed door cultivation most of the time and silently contribute to the sect. The disciples on the rankings now were all disciples in Fu Hongling’s generation. Soon, they would all pass the age of 200 and become elders.

Hearing the explanation, Zhao Jiuge suddenly became interested in the Sword Pavilion Ranking. He decided he would ask Fu Hongling to take him there once the battle was over. He wanted to see who the top 10 people on the list were, and just thinking about it made Zhao Jiuge’s blood boil.

The white pillar of light became dim and then disappeared under the violent sword rain. It hadn’t injured Fu Hongling at all; it hadn’t even caused her any trouble. historical

Click.

A soft sound echoed, and a small crack appeared on the golden mirror. The crack became larger and larger until the entire mirror finally shattered.

.

“Impossible!” Yan Wenfei let out a hysterical cry. One of her most important spirit treasures had been destroyed so easily. This was a treasure she had refined for a long time!

In the last several battles against Fu Hongling, this mirror had caused a great deal of trouble for Fu Hongling. Now that her strength has grown greatly, she thought she could catch Fu Hongling off guard. She hadn’t expected this to happen!

The hit to her pride felt much worse than having her treasure destroyed.

At this moment, Yan Wenfei stared at Fu Hongling with a crazed gaze, but Fu Hongling wasn’t finished yet.
