Chapter 6 Sword Douluo Kneels: Does the Water of the Sword Washing Pool Contain Supreme Sword Dao?
With Jiang Chen's strength, he naturally and easily detected the high-dimensional projection device that was suspended in the void and invisible to mortals.
He could even imagine the terrified and desperate faces of those people on the other side of Douluo Continent.
"Tang San? Yu Xiaogang? Bibi Dong?"
"Tsk tsk, all familiar faces."
The playful look in Jiang Chen's eyes deepened. If it were a powerful being from another world invading, Jiang Chen might have simply slapped them to death.
But since it's Douluo Continent...
The feeling is like a fully-equipped, max-level character suddenly seeing a bunch of newbies in the beginner village fighting tooth and nail over a few copper coins.
It seems more interesting to keep them alive and watch the show rather than kill them.
"System, block the sky from spying on my true form."
[Ding! Blocked. In the eyes of the Heavenly Canopy, the host will be the indescribable embodiment of the Dao.]
Jiang Chen nodded; he didn't want to be looked down upon like a monkey by a bunch of ants.
If you're going to do it, be the mastermind behind everything, high above the heavens.
"Since you're on my turf, I'll give you a little something extra."
Jiang Chen watched as Zhu Zhuqing was being led to the servants' quarters, and a thought stirred within him.
A faint divine thought transmission resounded directly in the mind of the outer sect female disciple who was leading the way.
...
The Primordial Celestial Court, Mountain Gate Square.
The outer sect female disciple in charge of leading the team was preparing to hand Zhu Zhuqing over to the steward of the miscellaneous affairs office.
Suddenly, she shuddered, her face turning deathly pale, before transforming into boundless fervor and reverence.
She turned around abruptly and knelt heavily in the direction of the depths of the Celestial Court!
"This disciple will humbly obey the Dharma decree!"
This sudden scene startled Xiao Cui and Zhu Zhuqing, who were standing nearby.
"Senior...Senior Sister, what's wrong?" Xiao Cui asked, stammering.
The outer sect female disciple stood up, took a deep breath, and the look in her eyes as she looked at Zhu Zhuqing instantly changed.
It was no longer the condescending and casual look it had before, but a complex gaze that carried a hint of envy, and even a hint of awe.
"Zhu Zhuqing, right?"
The female disciple's voice trembled slightly:
"You don't need to report to the errand office anymore."
"Just now, the Immortal Lord's attendant said that the Immortal Lord personally issued a decree."
"He says that because of your special bloodline, you are granted special permission to go to the Sword Washing Pool as one of his candidates for sword maid!"
boom!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Cui dropped the animal bone in her hand in fright, her mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg.
"A...a sword-wielding maid?!"
"Or is it for the Immortal Lord?!"
The way Xiao Cui looked at Zhu Zhuqing was as if she were looking at a goddess who had risen to the heavens in one step.
In the Primordial Immortal Court, being a maidservant to an Immortal King is a status that is countless times higher than that of an outer sect elder!
In contrast, on the other side of the sky lies the Douluo Continent.
Although I couldn't hear the specific telepathic message, I saw that the incredibly powerful outer disciple suddenly kneel down and then his attitude towards Zhu Zhuqing changed drastically.
Everyone realized one thing:
Zhu Zhuqing has finally met her match!
The Primordial Celestial Court, Outer Gate Area.
The bronze warship slowly descended onto a floating fairy island.
This is not the core of the Celestial Court; it is merely a servants' peak used to house menial servants and low-ranking disciples.
Even so, the moment Zhu Zhuqing stepped off the warship, she froze completely.
"This, this is the floor?"
She lowered her head and looked at the paving stones on the square beneath her feet.
The floor tiles were a deep bluish-black color, with faint shimmering light on them, exuding an aura of indestructibility.
Zhu Zhuqing tentatively activated her soul power, which had just surged to level 43. The Netherworld Cat Martial Soul was activated, and her sharp cat claws shot out, scratching the ground with all her might.
"Sizzle!" Sparks flew everywhere!
However, not even a white mark was left on the ground!
On the contrary, Zhu Zhuqing's fingers were throbbing with pain, and her claws almost broke off.
"hiss..."
Zhu Zhuqing gasped, knowing that her current attack power was enough to cut through rocks and tear apart steel in the Douluo Continent.
But she couldn't even break through the bricks used to pave the ground in the Celestial Court?
Seeing this, Xiao Cui chuckled:
"What are you doing? Those are floor tiles made of Xuan Tie Jingmu mixed with star sand. Even if the outer sect senior brothers used their flying swords to slash at them with all their might, they couldn't leave a mark."
"Stop sharpening your little cat claws there, it's bad for the floor tiles."
Upon hearing this, the Douluo Continent on the other side of the sky was in complete chaos.
Heavenly Dou City, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo who was watching the live stream, suddenly widened his eyes, pointed at the screen, and his hands were trembling:
"Mysterious...Mysterious Iron Essence Mother?!"
"Or is it for paving the floor?!"
"Are you crazy! That's the top-grade material for making divine weapons! I searched for fifty years and only found a piece the size of a fingernail, which I then embedded in my defensive soul tool."
"They actually used it to pave a plaza in this sect?!"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin's breathing quickened as he stared intently at the plaza, his eyes filled with fanaticism and jealousy.
"What a waste! What a terrible waste!"
"With such excellent materials, if I were to use them to forge a sword, the quality of my Seven Kill Sword would definitely be elevated to another level!"
However, this is just the beginning.
The outer sect female disciple in charge of guiding them led Zhu Zhuqing across the square to a place called the Sword Washing Pool.
"Since the Immortal Lord has decreed that you be allowed to be a candidate for Sword Attendant Maid."
"Then the first thing you need to do is learn how to cleanse your sword."
"If the Immortal Lord's sword ever becomes stained with dust, it will be your dereliction of duty."
The female disciple pointed to a pool of water in front of her and said calmly.
The pool was not large, about ten feet square, and the water was crystal clear. But strangely, the sky was not reflected on the surface of the water.
Instead, it seemed as if countless tiny fish were swimming in the pool.
Upon closer inspection, that wasn't a fish at all.
Those were clearly tiny, yet extremely sharp sword energies!
Each sword aura seemed to contain a unique principle of swordsmanship!
"This pool of water..."
Zhu Zhuqing only stood on the shore and glanced at it.
"Buzz!"
She felt a stinging pain in her eyes, as if she were being pricked by needles, and tears streamed down her face. Her martial spirit let out a mournful cry, as if it had encountered some natural enemy and was so frightened that it shrank back into its body!
"Don't stare at the pool water for too long."
The female disciple gently reminded her:
"This pool of water was drawn by the Heavenly River when the Immortal Lord was practicing his sword. It contains one ten-millionth of the Immortal Lord's sword intent."
"Although diluted over countless years, it is still a great terror to mortals."
"If it weren't for your perseverance, you wouldn't be qualified to come near here at all."
The words fell.
Douluo Continent, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Thump!"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who was originally sitting in a chair, saw the close-up shot of the pool of water.
Without any warning, he knelt down directly in front of the sky!
Not only did he kneel down, but this level 96 titled Douluo, known as the Sword Dao Chen Xin and the number one attacker on the continent, was now in tears, trembling all over, looking at the screen with a crazy expression as if on a pilgrimage!
"The way of the sword, that is the supreme way of the sword!"
"I saw it! I saw it!"
"That tiny ripple in the water actually contained a heaven-slaying intent that I had never comprehended!"
"In that single drop of water lies a peerless sharpness that I have never touched!"
"If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening! If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening!"
