The Holy Maiden Uncovers My Coffin When I Just Become An Emperor's Corpse-Chapter 196: No Limit on Quantity!

Across from the floating Sword Mountain was a wide stone platform in front of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

At that moment, standing on the stone platform were over ten shadowy figures.

These shadowy figures were all elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Among them, one in a gray robe was Elder Ting Jian of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"Wan Hua Valley chose not to borrow the Heavenly Phenomenon Moon Star Plate, but instead sent someone of unknown origin. What do you think?" Elder Ting Jian asked.

Beside him, a middle-aged man with no eyebrows stood with his hands behind his back.

He was Elder Sheng Jian, spoken of by Zheng Qianyun!

"The little Wan Hua Valley can’t cause much trouble.

If they want to stir up trouble, they need to assess whether their strength is enough.

Don’t forget!

We could crush them effortlessly."

"Sheng Jian is right, a small Wan Hua Valley is not worth worrying about.

I believe they are also aware of their own strength!

If they dare to make small moves against our Heavenly Sword Sect, even ten lives wouldn’t be enough!

They know the gravity of the situation," said a woman in a cyan robe.

Her expression was cold, with an untouchable demeanor!

Sword light occasionally shot from her eyes!

She was Elder Yujian of the Heavenly Sword Sect, in charge of the female sword cultivators!

"I fear this might not be Wan Hua Valley’s intention.

Someone might want to use Wan Hua Valley as a stepping stone to act against our Heavenly Sword Sect.

It’s known that the Dragon Veins beneath Wan Hua Valley are long beyond saving.

Without the Heavenly Phenomenon Moon Star Plate, they are destined to perish!

They’d rather abandon life and choose death just to send this person in.

There must be extraordinary plans at play," another elder said.

His words carried much worry.

"Ha, a threat to our Heavenly Sword Sect?

Whoever comes, we kill!

Two come, two we kill!

My sword is invincible!

Looking ahead and behind only makes our Heavenly Sword Sect seem small-minded!" Elder Sheng Jian said proudly.

At this moment, the other elders fell silent.

They strongly agreed with Elder Sheng Jian’s thoughts!

No matter how strong the person who comes might be, they had a sword to cut them down!

"So, what do you say about this person? I can’t see through them.

I can only vaguely discern that they might have Other Shore Realm cultivation, but everything else is unclear.

It seems someone has concealed them!" Elder Ting Jian continued.

The others glanced at Yang Yan and shook their heads slightly.

"He hid very well, I can’t see clearly!"

"He seems like a cultivator focused on body refinement. I didn’t sense the Sword Dao Sword Realm on him!"

"He might be hiding something. It will take time until he reveals his hand!"

Elder Ting Jian nodded.

"Then let’s take him in for now and carefully observe him.

By the way, among you, who will take him as a disciple?" he asked further.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

They were all reluctant to accept Yang Yan!

After all, Yang Yan was an outsider, and his intentions were still unclear.

Having him under their tutelage was a potential risk!

"Why not let Elder Shijian take him?" Elder Sheng Jian suggested.

Shijian?

The other elders looked at the old man in the back.

He was Shijian!

He managed the Mortal Weapon Storage, which housed all the Mortal Swords!

These Mortal Swords were all made from the discarded swords used by the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples.

Every year they would be sold to various dynasties as weapons!

He held no real power, not even possessing a cultivation technique to suppress a mountain!

"Shijian is meticulous. Observing him might reveal something!

Moreover, Shijian’s domain is not of strategic importance.

So, even if he enters, it has no impact on our Heavenly Sword Sect!"

"Indeed, if he stays there long enough and finds nothing, he will definitely make a move, and then we can capture him in one go," Elder Yujian added.

"Shijian, what do you say?" Elder Ting Jian asked, turning around.

The elderly Shijian opened his mouth slightly.

"Alright, let this old man keep a good watch on him!"

"Good, then this is settled.

You all must also decide soon the successors for the journey to the forbidden area in two days.

This time our Heavenly Sword Sect must obtain the Holy Water!" Elder Ting Jian brought up another matter.

"Rest assured, we will certainly select the strongest few successors.

Let them enter the forbidden area to vie for the Holy Water!" Elder Sheng Jian said confidently.

"Very well, here he comes!" Elder Ting Jian said, and the place fell silent, everyone staring at Yang Yan with deep authority.

Yang Yan and Zheng Qianyun arrived at the stone platform.

"Greetings to the elders!" Zheng Qianyun bowed in greeting to the elders.

He seemed very respectful!

In contrast, there was Yang Yan.

He stood beside Zheng Qianyun, expressionless.

Neither greeting nor speaking much!

"Rise," Elder Ting Jian said.

"Yes!"

Zheng Qianyun then looked towards Elder Sheng Jian.

"Elder Sheng Jian, there is one more thing I’d like to say!"

"Speak!" Elder Sheng Jian said proudly with his hands behind his back.

"I just saw Junior Brother Tian Feng, and he said he comprehended the Sword Force a couple of days ago."

Elder Sheng Jian’s eyes opened slightly.

*"Tian Feng, as expected of the former Saint Heir of the Sword Sect.

To actually comprehend Sword Force, excellent!"* he praised.

The other elders showed expressions of envy!

Tian Feng was born with an Innate Sword Heart, gifted in the Sword Dao beyond compare, akin to a genius!

This was something they all knew well, making them eager to take him as a disciple.

After all, a sword dao prodigy had limitless future prospects.

If the individual reached the Saint Realm and offered them treasures out of filial piety as their disciple,

their lifespan would also grow stronger, living longer!

This was a win-win situation!

Having such a genius disciple also brought reputation.

They naturally wanted him!

But Elder Sheng Jian was the one who saved Tian Feng and had the right to take a disciple.

They could only look on eagerly!

"Congratulations to Sheng Jian!"

They raised their hands half-heartedly and cupped them towards Elder Sheng Jian.

Elder Sheng Jian beamed with joy.

"Mutual congratulations!"

Zheng Qianyun had a hesitant expression at this moment.

"Is there something else?" Elder Ting Jian noticed something wrong and asked again.

Zheng Qianyun lowered his head and spoke about Tian Feng challenging Yang Yan.

"I ask Elder Sheng Jian to accompany me later to watch this duel."

"Sure, no problem.

I’ll also take a look at how far Tian Feng’s talent has reached.

At the same time, inform him that I will take him as a registered disciple!" Elder Sheng Jian said.

"On behalf of Junior Brother Tian Feng, I thank Elder Sheng Jian!" Zheng Qianyun said.

He cared about Tian Feng because they came from the same town.

Furthermore, Tian Feng was no ordinary talent; he was bound to become a heavenly genius!

Once he entered the inner sect, Tian Feng would be able to help him!

Otherwise, as a successor, there was no need to speak up for an outer disciple!

"No matter, it’s what he deserves!" Elder Sheng Jian said.

Then he looked towards Yang Yan.

"You, quickly step into that circle and let the swords on Sword Mountain connect with you!" he commanded Yang Yan stiffly with a wave of his hand.

Yang Yan remained unmoved.

"I have a question as well!"

The elders present furrowed their brows.

"What do you want to ask? Do you want to know if you can withdraw from the duel with Tian Feng?

Seeing how much we value him, are you afraid?

Let me tell you!

A sword breaks rather than bends, and in the Heavenly Sword Sect, once you accept, there’s no withdrawing!" Elder Sheng Jian snapped!

"You’re overthinking it. I just want to ask.

Can only one sword be taken from the swords on Sword Mountain?" Yang Yan said blandly.

Elder Sheng Jian snorted coldly.

"No, the number of swords you can take depends on how many acknowledge you!

There is no limit on the number!

Fine, are there any other questions? If not, stand over there!"

"Are you sure?"
