Regarding the selection regulations and all the processes of the Sword Competition, they were all formulated by Fenglian Xiaozu at the beginning of the establishment of the Heavenly Sword Gate thousands of years ago.

The Heavenly Sword Sect is undoubtedly a sword cultivation sect, but as a sect that can gain a foothold in the cultivation realm, it must have all kinds of organs. The Sword Refining Pavilion's sword technique focuses on strong attack, the Sword Guarding Pavilion focuses on defense, the Sword Cultivation Pavilion is better at formations, and the Medicine Pavilion weakens the sword technique and emphasizes the alchemy and mechanism techniques. In the early years, there were often fights between the Xiuzhen sects, and the demon domain and the ghost world were often attacked, if you want to defend the sect and resist foreign enemies, it is not advisable to rely on strong attacks alone, you must have both offense and defense, and each has its own division of labor. Therefore, in the early years, the status of the four pavilions was equal.

However, now, the aura of the Xiuzhen Continent has increased, and the Demon Realm and the Ghost Realm do not dare to attack lightly, and the various sects have discussed each other, and the wars have decreased. Therefore, the Heavenly Sword Sect paid more and more attention to personal cultivation, and the Sword Cultivation Pavilion and the Medicine Pavilion gradually declined.

Especially after Yuying Zhenren took over the head of the sect, as a sword idiot, he thought that the strength of the sword was fundamental, and even more neglected the Sword Cultivation Pavilion and the Medicine Pavilion, resulting in the gap between the four major pavilions getting bigger and bigger, and the things that the disciples of the same sect were competing with each other one after another.

Xiao Kui suffered a big loss at the hands of Yi Xichen not long ago, and immediately stood up to fight him: "Yi Xichen, don't talk about Xiao Zu!" ”

Before he finished speaking, a sharp gaze stabbed him. - The person who glared at him was none other than Qiu Jian, the elder of the Sword Refining Pavilion. When he heard that his disciple dared to speak disrespectfully to Xiao Zu, he was naturally furious.

Xiao Kui shrunk his neck and hurriedly remedied: "Xiao Zu is naturally wise, but how can the world today be the same as it was back then." The world is changing, and the Medicine Pavilion and the Sword Cultivation Pavilion have long since lost their glory. Adapting to current events is the foundation of the sect's foothold. ”

Yi Xichen was not in a hurry: "What does Senior Brother Xiao mean is that the disciples of our Sword Cultivation Pavilion and Medicine Pavilion are not as good as back then?" ”

"Of course not! Back then, the seven-star formation of the Sword Cultivation Pavilion was able to trap the Demon God Candle Nine Yin, and the Medicine Pavilion was able to refine the Demon God Dan Yuan back then, but now? ”

Xiao Kui's words were not made out of nothing, and now the Sword Cultivation Pavilion and the Medicine Pavilion are indeed declining, but this is not the fault of the two Pavilions. Due to the lack of attention from the master, the disciples with high qualifications were all snatched away by the Sword Refining Pavilion and the Sword Guarding Pavilion, and the remaining disciples were originally inferior in qualifications. Moreover, at the beginning, the best sword of the Heavenly Sword Sect was given to the Sword Cultivation Pavilion, the most aura mountain medicine pavilion disciples, but now, the division between the Sword Cultivation Pavilion and the Medicine Pavilion is becoming less and less, and the decline is inevitable.

Yi Xichen sneered: "Then the Huaya seniors of the Sword Refining Pavilion back then could fight against the Black Demon with the strength of one person, can Senior Brother Xiao have this strength?" Is the Sword Refining Pavilion not as good as it used to be? ”

"You!" Xiao Kui glared angrily.

Hua Ya Zhenren is now a great power, he is the same Heavenly Spirit Root as the eldest grandson Jun, looking at the entire thousand-year history of Tianjian Sect, Hua Ya Zhenren's strength is probably only second to Fenglian Xiao Zu. Not to mention Xiao Kui, even if it is Lu Ziyao, even if it is the head Yuying Zhenren, it is far inferior to Huaya Zhenren, and it is simply ridiculous and generous to dare to compare with him. But the example given by Xiao Kui is also extreme, so Yi Xichen's words can really be reasonable.

Eldest grandson: "Hehe." ”

This kind of strength ridicule made Xiao Kui's head hot, and his tongue began to knot again for a while. He was speechless in a hurry, and Wang Qingqiao and others hurriedly pulled him back.

Gongsun Di, the eldest disciple of the Sword Guarding Pavilion, said: "Over the past thousand years, a lot of things have happened in the cultivation realm, and there have been many changes in my Heavenly Sword Sect, I believe that Senior Brother Yi will not deny it." The rules of the sword competition conference were indeed set by Xiao Zu back then, but at first the sword competition conference was just a test for the disciples, and there were not many immortal materials as rewards. And now, the disciples who won in the sword competition represent the strength of my Heavenly Sword Sect, and in the coming days, they will participate in the World Dao Conference and the Demon Slaying War, and only the disciples who have achieved the top five in the sword competition will be eligible to participate. Now that the rules have changed, why can't they be changed in a more reasonable direction? ”

Yuying Zhenren nodded, expressing her approval of his words.

In fact, the Heavenly Sword Sect does not explicitly stipulate what can happen to those who have achieved rankings in the sword competition, but after thousands of years, many things have become unwritten rules. In the Heavenly Sword Gate, the sword competition is the largest internal selection, so the sword competition is the strong, and only the strong can get more opportunities, which is also the principle of heaven.

Zhao Xiang, a disciple of the Sword Refining Pavilion, said: "Master, looking at the sword competition conferences in previous years, there have been ten consecutive conferences, and the top five have been occupied by the disciples of the Sword Refining Pavilion and the Sword Guarding Pavilion, and in the past hundred years, the disciples of the Medicine Pavilion have never achieved the top ten. This incident is enough to show that there are drawbacks in the early selection of the sword competition. ”

In fact, Zhao Xiang is the one who is more anxious than Xiao Kui and Gongsun Di. He was ranked seventh in the Sword Refining Pavilion, and there was no him on the list of twenty people this time, and if the rules were not changed, he would not even be qualified to enter the Sword Competition. But with his own ability, it is not a problem for him to rank in the top twenty disciples of the whole mountain.

Sun Xiaoqian of the Medicine Pavilion was so anxious that he was about to cry again.

If the twenty contestants are really selected by strength, I am afraid that only Tianlinggen's eldest grandson Jun can occupy a place for the Medicine Pavilion, and the other places will be snatched up by the Sword Refining Pavilion and the Sword Guarding Pavilion. The disciples of their Medicine Pavilion participated in the conference, and they didn't seek to get ahead in the cultivation realm, but the rewards of those spirit stones and immortal materials, if they missed it, it would be difficult to get them in the future.

Yi Xichen said: "What does Senior Brother Zhao mean that the strength of our Medicine Pavilion and Sword Cultivation Pavilion is not as good as that of Sword Refining Pavilion and Sword Guarding Pavilion?" ”

Zhao Xiang sneered: "Isn't this obvious?" ”

Xiao Kui's anger was much calmer at this time, and he began to stumble again: "Don't Senior Brother Yi think so?" Even a pseudo-spirit root in your Medicine Pavilion can be selected into the top five. There is a pseudo-spiritual root in front of our Heavenly Sword Gate, and it is a joke to spread it! ”

This is simply a stab in the face. The lack of talent has always been a pain in Yi Xichen's heart, and he couldn't help frowning at this time.

Seeing that his disciple was being bullied, he was furious: "Xiao Kui! What kind of thing are you, the disciple I selected without poison will be your turn to point fingers! Shouldn't I give up my position as an elder of the Medicine Pavilion to you! ”

After all, Xiao Kui didn't dare to confront the elders of the First Pavilion, so he had to sneer: "The disciple doesn't dare." ”

Yi Xichen said: "Dare to ask all the senior brothers, the disciples of the Sword Cultivation Pavilion and the Medicine Pavilion, which one is weaker?" ”

In fact, if it was left in the past, the disciples of the Sword Cultivation Pavilion would be looked down upon by the other two Pavilions, and at the same time, they would also look down on the Medicine Pavilion. But now they are forced to stand on the same front as the Medicine Pavilion, because they are really selected according to their strength, not only will the quota of the Medicine Pavilion be greatly damaged, but the quota of the Sword Cultivation Pavilion will also be reduced a lot.

"Medicine Pavilion, of course!"

"So which is stronger, the Sword Refining Pavilion or the Sword Guarding Pavilion?"

Now the Sword Refining Pavilion and the Sword Guarding Pavilion are on the same front, and more than a dozen disciples look at each other without speaking, for fear of falling into his discordant plan.

Yi Xichen then said to himself: "It should be that the Sword Refining Pavilion is slightly better, what do you senior brothers think?" ”

The disciples of the Sword Refining Pavilion thought so, and the disciples of the Sword Pavilion did not dare to refute.

"Okay." Yi Xichen said, "Right now, the senior brothers have objections to the regulations of the Sword Comparison Conference, that is, they think that the weak dove occupies the magpie's nest, so let our Medicine Pavilion and your Sword Refining Pavilion send people to compete to see which one is stronger and which is weak." Can you still approve of this method? ”

Xiao Kui hurriedly said: "If you send the eldest grandson, wouldn't it still be unfair!" ”

The eldest grandson Jun sneered: "Am I not a disciple of the Medicine Pavilion? ”

Although Gongsun Di didn't know how powerful the eldest grandson Jun was, the fact that the eldest grandson Jun Tianlinggen was in front of him, he also thought it was inappropriate: "The eldest grandson's junior brother does not represent the strength of the Medicine Pavilion. ”

"Don't send the eldest grandson." Yi Xichen said, "Now it's not the strongest to win, but weaker than not weak." Then send your fifth-ranked disciples of the Sword Refining Pavilion and the fifth-ranked disciples of our Medicine Pavilion, if we win, it means that your senior brothers think that the Medicine Pavilion is inferior to the Sword Refining Pavilion is nonsense. If we lose, maybe there is something wrong with the door rules, and we can discuss it again. ”

Qiu Jian, the elder of the Sword Refining Pavilion, said, "It's feasible. ”

Lin Zhen, the elder of the Sword Guarding Pavilion, also hurriedly responded: "Xichen's words are indeed a feasible way. If we continue to hold on to each other, it will inevitably delay the schedule of the sword competition, so it is better to do as he says. ”

Not to mention fifth to fifth, even fifth to tenth, they are also confident. The construction proposed by Yi Xichen is simply for the benefit of the Sword Refining Pavilion and the Sword Guarding Pavilion.

Wan Jin, the elder of the Sword Cultivation Pavilion, was worried and glared at Yi Xichen anxiously. Even if the medicine is not poisonous, he pulls his goatee, and he doesn't know what medicine is sold in his beloved gourd.

"Senior Brother Xiao also said just now, all of my pseudo-spiritual roots have been selected into the top five of the Medicine Pavilion, which shows that my talent is low, and the fifth in the Medicine Pavilion is me. Which senior brother in the Sword Refining Pavilion is competing with me? ”

In fact, although Yi Xichen is not very talented, he is diligent in his cultivation, and he is second only to the eldest grandson Jun in the medicine pavilion. Just because he hadn't fought before, this matter was not clear to anyone except the disciples of the Medicine Pavilion, so he wouldn't question it.

Since he has already said that he wants to compete, although Xiao Kui is eager to go out in person to give Yi Xichen some color, but the dignity of the Sword Refining Pavilion is also there, so he will not bully people with strength and weakness. Qiu Jian said: "The fifth-ranked disciple of my Sword Refining Pavilion is Wang Qingqiao. ”

Wang Qingqiao immediately stepped out of the queue and held his sword proudly: "It's up to me to learn Senior Brother Yi's high moves." ”

Yi Xichen was not in a hurry: "Don't worry, let's talk about the rules first." If I lose, the rules of the sword tournament can be discussed again, but what if I win? ”

Wang Qingqiao didn't dare to be the master, and set his eyes on the elders.

Yuying Zhenren said: "If you win, the natural conference will be held as usual." ”

"It's not fair." Yi Xichen said, "The conference should have been held as usual, but these senior brothers made trouble, and then there was another incident. If I win, it means that our Medicine Pavilion disciples are not inferior to the senior brothers of the other Pavilions, and I hope that the head of the sect can also consider whether the rules assigned to us on weekdays should be revised as appropriate. ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.
