He’s stayed in the Ninth Heaven Road for so long.

Luo Yong and Donger must have made it the farthest, but they didn’t stay in the Ninth Heaven Road as long as Jian Wushuang.

He did stay for a long time, but it doesn’t mean he made it farther in the Ninth Heaven Road.

Well see! Vice Palace Master Ling Yu will announce the result later. I’m afraid Jian Wushuang could still lose his position as an inner disciple.

The onlookers discussed unanimously.

Jian Wushuang ignored the eyes on him and walked straight towards the other 19 geniuses.

Jian Wushuang, Feng looked at him and continued to ask, How many floors did you pass through?

What about you? Jian Wushuang wasn’t in a hurry to answer the question.

I made it through the 20th floor, but was stopped at the 21st floor, Feng said.

I made it to a floor a little higher than you, Jian Wushuang said and smiled.

Oh? Then, you passed the 21st floor? Feng cast a confused look at him. Since he said hed passed through more floors, that meant Jian Wushuang must have passed through the 21st floor.

Terrific! Feng gave Jian Wushuang a thumbs-up. I thought with my improvements over the past two years that I could have caught up to you, but it seems I was too arrogant. It doesn’t matter though! I believe I can catch up to you someday.

After hearing his words, Jian Wushuangs complexion turned odd.

At this time, Vice Palace Master Ling Yu received the results for Jian Wushuang and others who entered the Ninth Heaven Road.

Now, I’m going to announce the results, Ling Yu continued, Huo Ying, the 15th floor.

Ling Yu announced the results according to the order in which the 20 disciples exited the Ninth Heaven Road. With Huo Ying being the weakest among the 20 disciples, it was only natural that he was also the first one to exit the Ninth Heaven Road, which resulted in his name being the first one announced.

When he noticed all the strange looks that focused on him, his face turned red from embarrassment and bitterness.

Zhong Ying, the 17th floor.

Yuan Hai, the 17th floor.

Xin Lan, the 17th floor.

Other than Huo Ying, who had only passed the 15th floor, the weakest one among the other disciples had passed the 17th floor of Ninth Heaven Road. But, there were only four people who were stopped after the 17th floor. Most of the others made it through the 18th or 19th floor.

Xia Feng, the 20th floor.

Jun Yi, the 21st floor.

Feng, the 20th floor.

At this point, the surrounding disciples couldn’t help looking at Feng secretly as they marveled at him unanimously.

It had only been two years since Feng joined the Ancient Sect. When he first arrived at the Ancient Sect, his understanding of the Dao was quite poor, but after two years, he made an impressive amount of progress that even shocked many of the Ancient Sect disciples. Feng had made it past the 20th floor, which meant he was much stronger than Huo Ying, so he would be able to keep his position as an inner disciple.

Ling Yu continued announcing the names and quickly reached the last few places.

Luo Yong, the 24th floor.

Donger, the 24th floor.

The surrounding disciples listened carefully to the results. When they heard that both Luo Yong and Donger had passed through the 24th floor, these disciples sighed secretly.

Among the disciples who had been mentioned previously, the best one had only passed through the 21st floor.

However, Luo Yong and Donger both had passed through the 24th floor, which meant they’d skipped three levels. It was really admirable!

However, they all knew that Luo Yong and Donger were much stronger than the other disciples because they had fully grasped the forth Occult. It was quite normal for them to reach a higher floor.

After the results for Luo Yong and Donger were announced, there was only one name left to be announced among the 20 disciples.

The one left was Jian Wushuang.

A majority of the surrounding disciples really wanted to hear his result.

After all, Jian Wushuang had a high aptitude and had drawn a lot of attention ever since he arrived at the Ancient Sect. He even became apprenticed to Palace Master Xuan Yi as a nominal disciple, which obviously made him stand out even more.

Jian Wushuang, the… Eh?

Ling Yu was about to announce the result, but she was suddenly dumbstruck by what she saw.

What’s wrong? Many of the disciples looked at Ling Yu in confusion.

How… How is that possible? Ling Yu stared fiercely at the result in disbelief, but the result was sent from the palace and she’d confirmed it was the final result.

After thinking about it, Ling Yu could not help looking at Jian Wushuang with an extremely complicated expression. Then, under the gazes of the other disciples, she slowly announced the result, buy her voice betrayed her excitement.

Jian Wushuang, the… 30th floor!

After announcing the result, Ling Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

The Martial Arts Practice Field was bustling with people discussing the 20 disciples performance inside the Ninth Heaven Road, but when they heard Jian Wushuangs result, everyone immediately stiffened.

Luo Yong, who had bronze-colored skin and an air of fierceness that resembled a fierce beast, folded his arms. The burly man stood there with a poker face. He had absolute confidence in his own strength since hed tried his best. He was convinced that no one in this competition could overshadow him.

Even though Donger reached the same level of understanding in the Dao as he did and they had both passed through the 24th floor, Luo Yong believed Dongers performance was still inferior to his because he had put up a desperate fight with the ten Puppet Fighters on the 25th floor.

But, at this moment, he heard Lingyu say… Jian Wushuang, the 30th floor!

“What?”

Luo Yong looked up and immediately glanced at Jian Wushuang. Its been less than two years since he came to the Ancient Sect! How is it possible for him to pass through the 30th floor of the Ninth Heaven Road?

Excuse me, Vice Palace Master Ling Yu? Did you read it wrong? Maybe he just passed through the 23rd floor? Luo Yong asked abruptly.

Donger, Feng, and many of the other disciples who entered the Ninth Heaven Road, as well as the other people on the Martial Arts Practice Field, were staring at Ling Yu.

They all believed Ling Yu had read it wrong.

However, Ling Yu shook her head and said with assurance, Jian Wushuang passed the 30th floor, you heard me correctly!

Ling Yu confirmed it once again so that no one would doubt it.

At hearing that, all the Ancient Sect disciples became shocked.

677 Personal Disciple

The Drill Ground was completely silent.

The 30th floor?

Almost no one could believe what they heard.

Even the two geniuses, Luo Yong and Donger, looked at Jian Wushuang in astonishment.

It had been several decades since they arrived at the Ancient Sect and they were convinced they’d made great progress over the years. But, their results were nothing when compared to Jian Wushuang. They couldn’t even be compared.

He’d passed through 30 of the 31 floors in the Ninth Heaven Road. There was only one floor left for Jian Wushuang to pass.

It had only been two years since Jian Wushuang joined the Ancient Sect.

“Jian Wushuang, you…”

Feng, who stood beside Jian Wushuang, looked as if he had seen a ghost. He knew that Jian Wushuang had passed through more floors because he had asked him, but he only thought Jian Wushuang got through the 21st floor. So, he was not that discouraged and believed he could catch up to him in the future.

But now… He hears that it was the 30th floor, ten floors ahead of him.

In the past two years, he thought he had caught up with Jian Wushuang, but now he realized the gap between Jian Wushuang and him had only grown larger, far more than he could handle.

The ten-year Ancient Sect Competition came to an end.

And, with that, the ten places for inner disciple had been decided. Both Jian Wushuang and Feng kept their positions as inner disciples and only Huo Ying lost his position and became an outer disciple.

However, even though the Sect Competition had come to an end, there was still a heated discussion going on about Jian Wushuang. It was a hot topic among the disciples at first, but the heated discussions finally began to die down after several days.

Jian Wushuang brushed aside those voices. After the Sect Competition finished, he immediately headed to Sword Palace and began meditating in front of the stone tablet in front of Sword Tower.

Jian Wushuang had already grasped the second of the three sword scars left by Xuan Yi and had become his nominal disciple. As for the third scar…

The third sword scar fused all nine sword movements from the first sword scar into one, which was 1000 times more difficult than the second sword scar.

As Jian Wushuang was meditating, his Cultivation in Sword Principle had increasingly improved. It didn’t mean that he couldn’t grasp the third sword scar, but he had no idea where to begin.

It had only been recently that he finally condensed his Sword Heart.

Now that his Sword Heart was condensed, he looked at the three sword scars again. But, now they looked completely different to him.

Previously, he couldn’t even figure out where to start while looking at the third sword scar. But now, with just a simple glimpse, he suddenly felt inspired.

Half a month later.

Crash!

A sword light flew out and rushed through the empty space ahead.

It seemed to move without making noise or disturbing the surroundings, but right after the sword light passed through the area, there was a series of explosions. Boom! Boom!

This sword seemed to be a combination of many Occults, which resulted in terribly enormous power. When performed, it was even more powerful than the Superior Rank Three Secret Skill he created, Violet Devastation Sword Skill.

“What a frightening sword strike.”

Jian Wushuang raised the Heart-killing Sword in his hand, looking at a series of overwhelming swordsmanship movements in front, with his eyes displaying a slight shade of shock.

This sword strike was so frightening that Jian Wushuang even believed it was much more powerful than a Rank Four Secret Skill.

It was definitely a powerful killing move.

“Have you grasped it?” Suddenly, a soft floating voice sounded beside him.

Jian Wushuang looked next to him and realized that Xuan Yi had suddenly appeared by his side.

“Master,” Jian Wushuang immediately bowed and said.

Xuan Yi stepped forward slowly, then stopped less than a meter away from Jian Wushuang.

“When you condensed your Sword Heart on the Ninth Heaven Road, I knew that it wouldn’t take you long to grasp the three sword scars I Ieft behind, but it’s only been half a month…” A mild smile grew on Xuan Yi’s face as he continued, “I made a rule, if anyone below the Eternal Realm fully grasps my three sword scars, they can become my personal disciple.”

“Since you’ve succeeded, from this day on you will be my fourth personal disciple.

“The fourth personal disciple?” It seemed to appeal Jian Wushuang.

In the two years he spent in the Ancient Sect, he’d never heard that Xuan Yi had other personal disciples.

Many disciples of Sword Palace said that there was nobody who had fully comprehended all three of the sword scars left by Xuan Yi, but now…

“You do have three Senior Brothers, but they have already left the Ancient Sect and set off on new adventures. If possible, you will meet them one day,” Xuan Yi said and smiled.

“Understood.” Jian Wushuang nodded slightly, filled with anticipation at the bottom of his heart.

There were very high standards for becoming one of Xuan Yi’s personal disciples. The other three Senior Brothers should all be extraordinary, so he was looking forward to seeing their abilities someday.

“Follow me,” Xuan Yi said.

Xuan Yi led Jian Wushuang to Sword Tower.

Only Jian Wushuang and Xuan Yi were left inside Sword Tower.

“Now that it’s only the two of us, I have something I want to ask you,” Xuan Yi said while looking at Jian Wushuang.

“Master, please ask.” Jian Wushuang nodded slightly.

“Earlier, at Firmament Territory Feast, I realized you must have received a remarkable opportunity in the Ancient World. If not, how is it possible for you to reach your current level and even acquire the Doppelganger Secret Skill in less than 40 years?” Xuan Yi said.

“Yes.” Jian Wushuang nodded slightly.

After seeing his performance at Firmament Territory Feast, even the experts from every Sect could tell that he had received an extraordinary opportunity, let alone Xuan Yi, so Jian Wushuang could not deny it.

“At that time, we didn’t have any relationship, so I never asked you about it. After all, everyone has had their own opportunities and I won’t interfere with it. But now, since you are my personal disciple, I have to ask about your previous experience,” Xuan Yi said.

Jian Wushuang also understood.

As a master, one must have a certain understanding of his disciples’ previous experiences.

“I did have a somewhat outstanding opportunity in the Ancient World and I was even lucky enough to be instructed by a super expert,” Jian Wushuang said directly. Of course, the super expert he referred to was undoubtedly Emperor Xiao.

“Ah? I see.” Xuan Yi seemed to realize something, then he immediately continued, “Do you have a Secret Skill for Body Reshaping? Your foundation seems extraordinarily strong.”

“Yes,” Jian Wushuang nodded again, “I acquired a Body Reshaping Technique called Immortality in the Ancient World, so my body should be quite strong. As for my foundation, I have to thank the experts’ guidance for that.”

Jian Wushuang didn’t intend to reveal anything about the Heavenly Creation Skill, which was his biggest secret. So, the only thing he could do was to place the blame on Emperor Xiao.

“Immortality Secret Skill?” Xuan Yi raised his eyebrows but didn’t continue asking about it.

As a master, he only needed to know what Jian Wushuang had experienced. There was no need to go into detail about it.
