Wu Yu failed in raising his cultivation level . He saw that it was almost time and prepared to go to the Mountain of Swords and Immortals .
He did not know that at the moment, the Mountain of Swords and Immortals was already in an uproar over his absence . At the start, Shen Xingyu had controlled the situation . However, when the Battle of Swords and Immortals was almost over and Wu Yu had yet to appear, Shen Xingyu was helpless and came personally to look for him .
She was forced to come here by the hundred thousand people that were watching .
As for the mystery of whether Wu Yu would be picked by the Galaxy Sword Sage, it was not revealed yet . Many people had stayed on the Mountain of Swords and Immortals for long periods of time just to watch Wu Yu's next challenge . Some had even waited for more than three months… .
Seeing that the Battle of Swords and Immortals was ending soon, who could wait any longer?
Baili Feihong had actually come by quite a few times, but after seeing Wu Yu train so hard every day, he did not disturb him .
Now there was no time left and he did not manage to rise to the third tier of Jindan . Luckily, he had made quite an improvement on his dao technique . He had thoroughly mastered the Yin Yang Heaven-Earth-Void Sword Art that was worth over 400 merits .
"Wu Yu, do you know what day it is?" Shen Xingyu asked . She did not know whether to laugh or cry .
"Don't tell me that the Leaderboard of Swords and Immortals is already over?" Wu Yu's heart skipped a beat . He was too engrossed in his training and had failed to keep track of time .
He was also a little disappointed that he did not become a third tier Jindan dao cultivator .
"Well, not yet . But it is the last day today . I did not disturb you before because I wanted to give you more time to reach a higher cultivation level . Do you have the confidence now?" Shen Xingyu asked out of concern .
Things like confidence were not easy to talk about . Wu Yu only said, "No matter what, I will have to make a challenge today . "

He had set his goal early . The possibility that the Galaxy Sword Sage would recognize him probably existed only if he defeated the first in the Leaderboard of Swords and Immortals . Wu Yu was a person who did not admit defeat, especially on this . If he failed, he would be a laughing stock in the future .
"Okay, then you try your best . Now that the challenges of the Leaderboard of Swords and Immortals have basically ended, the top 10 remains unchanged . You might have two people as your opponents for today . Compared to you challenging them, they are more eager to challenge you because those two want to be my big brother's disciple more than you . "
Wu Yu knew at first guess that at this moment, it would no longer be him challenging others . Rather, others would challenge him to prove that they were better than Wu Yu .
"Actually, there are at least a thousand people who want to challenge you . I rejected them all . In the end, there are only two left . They are the toughest to reject and also the two who most desperately want to become my big brother's disciples . It is not an exaggeration to call them the top geniuses of the Common Sword Domain .
"These two are respectively the first and second on the Leaderboard of Swords and Immortals . Speaking about them, it's quite interesting . Within these few months, they have become dao companions and will follow each other through life and death . Today, it can be considered a challenge from the two of them as a couple . "
"Dao companions?" Wu Yu was a little surprised .
He knew who was first and second on this Leaderboard of Swords and Immortals . The first was known as a demon; he was the son of that Zhao Tianjian . The second was a young genius sent by the top family, the Tianyi Race, from the Crimson Flames Furnace to come to the Shushan Immortal Sect to practice sword techniques . It was rumored that she was female .
The first was Zhao Xuanxian and the second was He Taiyao .
"Let's go . " To save time, Shen Xingyu grabbed onto Wu Yu, brought him on her sword, and flew towards the Mountain of Swords and Immortals .
The distance to the Mountain of Swords and Immortals from here was not considered far for Shen Xingyu .
"Wu Yu, do you really understand my big brother?" Shen Xingyu asked .
Wu Yu had heard many stories about the Galaxy Sword Sage . He, of course, knew him .

Shen Xingyu said, "For instance, Zhao Xuanxian and He Taiyao, both were chosen by Shushan Sword Sages to be their disciples, but they rejected them . This was all for my big brother to take them in . This means that if you pass my big brother's test, you will practically have a Shushan Sword Sage level master as your shield . From then on, in Shushan, every Common Sword Domain disciple, every Heaven, Earth, Xuan, Huang, the four major sword rank disciples, will have to be respectful towards you . They will envy you and fear you respectfully . "
Wu Yu knew what she was talking about . This could be described as reaching the skies in one step . It was just like when he was at the Heavenly Sword Sect at the beginning . Once he became the disciple of Feng Xueya, his status and position instantly changed .
"Hence, as your big sister, I'm reminding you one last time today to give it your all, and even to risk your life for the opportunity . My big brother is rarely interested in young disciples . Even Zhao Xuanxian is not within his considerations . You have to exceed Zhao Xuanxian by a lot to really let him make that decision . He is someone that does things very seriously . Once he acknowledges you, your fate will be different . . . . "
To put it simply, she wanted to tell him that today was the day he could change his fate .
This was also something important for the whole Shushan Immortal Sect, or even for the whole of the Heavenly continent . They were all paying close attention to his performance today . Wu Yu's fame was greatly boosted and even surpassed that of many Heaven sword rank disciples because of the Galaxy Sword Sage .
"I finally understand it!"
He clenched his fists and flames gradually erupted from his arm and warmed his whole body . Unknowingly, the passion for battle was boiling within him at unprecedented levels .
When he neared the Mountain of Swords and Immortals, he finally knew what a real crowd was!
In the whole Common Sword Domain, there was probably about 100,000 Jindan cultivators . However, with one look, the whole Mountain of Swords and Immortals was covered with them . There were also many disciples weaving through the surrounding skies on their swords, trying to get a good viewing position .
There were many people, and many voices as well . Perhaps it was because Wu Yu was late that these people were getting impatient .
When Wu Yu neared them, with Shen Xingyu leading the way, he was immediately spotted . Instantly, people's voices hit towards Wu Yu like an avalanche .
Wu Yu was almost thrown off by this terrifying aura . 100,000 gazes from Jindan cultivators concentrated instantly on him, and this feeling, this pressure was too overwhelming .
Faintly, Wu Yu had sensed many Heaven sword rank disciples within the crowd . It could be seen how influential the Galaxy Sword Sage's words were to raise such a reaction with such a short sentence .

"This guy called Wu Yu must be too afraid to come out . If not for our insistence, he might not even have come out . "
"Look at him, hiding there . He does not look like a disciple of the Galaxy Sword Sage at all . Compared to the Galaxy Sword Sage, he is far too weak . "
"That is why I don't understand why the Galaxy Sword Sage chose to focus on this Wu Yu instead of people like Zhao Xuanxian . Besides, this Wu Yu does not have an upright character . He committed the crime of killing his own master . If not for Shen Xingyu's protection, I heard that he would’ve been subjected to the Sword Impalement Prison' . "
"Such an evil guy shouldn't even have the right to become a disciple of Shushan, right? This world is really unfair . Why is it that this Wu Yu can have such good luck?"
"Don't worry anymore . He hid for so long and is now out . The Galaxy Sword Sage is sure to see his true face clearly . Do you not trust the Galaxy Sword Sage's judgement? Who knows, he may be using Wu Yu to test Zhao Xuanxian and the others . This Wu Yu, I predict that he will be the stepping stone for Zhao Xuanxian and He Taiyao today . "
"You are right . We knew it from the moment Shen Xingyu allowed only Zhao Xuanxian and He Taiyao to challenge Wu Yu . "
"Speaking of it, who will fight Wu Yu first? It is better to have the first fight . "
"I'm guessing He Taiyao . She may be the top genius in the Tianyi Race, but compared to the Zhao Xuanxian, who received the legacy of the Heart Piercing Sword Sage, she is still lacking . Besides, they are lovers and have already become dao companions, so Zhao Xuanxian will give way to He Taiyao . "
Discussions like this were everywhere and plentiful . They flooded into Wu Yu's ears and almost caused his brain to explode .
Today, all battles on the battlefield had stopped and hence the battlefield was very empty . Wu Yu's opponents were still at the topmost positions on the Mountain of Swords and Immortals . They were hidden within the clouds, and the average person could not even see them .
The first on the Leaderboard of Swords and Immortals was indeed someone to be looked up to .
"Prepare well . The first battle will be with He Taiyao . Perform well and, of course, it is for him to see . " Shen Xingyu helped Wu Yu and pointed to that star in the sky .
That star was cold . It was difficult to understand any of his thoughts .
Looking around, he suddenly saw two familiar people nearby . One was Zhao Tianjian and the other was Ye Caixie . These two people gathered together . Once Wu Yu looked over, Zhao Tianjian gave him a cold laugh and gestured to Wu Yu a slash across his throat . Reading his lips, he seemed to be saying, "It's your death sentence today . "
Ye Caixie stood with her arms crossed beside him and smiled very contentedly .
"Zhao Xuanxian, He Taiyao, come down . " Shen Xingyu called for them lightly . These two people could not wait for this moment ever since they received her permission .
Under the hundred thousand gazes, the heavenly couple descended from the sky holding hands . The male was handsome and the female was seductive . They were the envy of many onlookers . They appeared together in front of Wu Yu .
With one look, one could tell that these two people were not average . Their demeanor, talent, and tier exceeded everyone on the Leaderboard of Swords and Immortals . That Situ Gongde from the past was nothing to these two . Just based on quality, they were better by many levels .
These two people were the most outstanding of the hundred thousand ordinary dan disciples . They even surpassed many older people, and even their Jindan were of unique quality . Their battle powers were already on par with that of fifth tier Jindan Huang sword rank disciples .
Of course, their immortal treasures and dao techniques were probably much better than what Wu Yu had now .
He Taiyao was said to be from the Crimson Flames Furnace’s Tianyi Race . The Tianyi Race had protected the Crimson Flames Furnace for generations . Their generations had been forged by the heaven and earth flames . Even though they were just one race, they possessed powers equivalent to that of Shushan and were one of the major powers of the heavenly continent .
In the heavenly continent, all the major powers had the tradition of sending their disciples and descendents to other sects to undergo study exchanges . This He Taiyao was one such disciple .
The Tianyi Race were adept at archery . Their archery skills were comparable to Shushan's sword techniques . They could even kill from hundreds of thousands of li away .
It was rumored that He Taiyao was not only adept at bows and arrows, but also at swords . Her sword techniques were excellent and hence she was sent to Shushan to develop her strengths .
Wu Yu checked her out and saw that this lady, He Taiyao, had a very good figure . The key part was that she wore extremely little . She only covered her important parts with animal skins and leather . She exposed her shapely and smooth, long legs . Those were eye-catching . This person was cheerful and enthusiastic . Her skin was not snowy white, but a light golden brown . She had a sense of wild beauty . Her gaze was proud and her expression cold . It made people want to conquer her even more .
