The Way of the Sword (BL)

Chapter 75: When the rich of the sect gives the disciples trouble!

Tai-Yang fits in as a powerful Magician who specializes in creating scrolls because of his Dao Calligraphy and specializes in quick and complicated spells, as well as spells cast in large areas because of his supporting Dao in the way of the speakers. 

In the great Arcane Wizard sect, Tai-Yang was considered to be the epitome of a magician's perfection, his only weakness being his physique which was softer than the physique of normal men, but as his magical cultivation was too high, it did not affect very much your battle performance.

This usually did not get in the way of battle, but with an enemy who had high resistance to the "magic" cast by the mages and had extraordinary physical strength, Tai-Yang was thrown into a corner and chased into a pitiful rag, his luck was Find Zemin Yan to help you!

It may be said that Tai-Yang following Zemin Yan to the great Celestial Sword sect, in addition to following his savior, was to try to strengthen his physical body which compared to the physique of other martial cultivators was much weaker.

"What's interesting is that this type of item can be considered dangerous in a situation like this Who provided these 'keys' to this test?" Thought Tai-Yang, in the conception of this powerful fox-mask cultivator, these " key "were clearly given to Hong Yu to expose the Celestial Sword sect's talents not only to their allies but also to their enemies!

It was very likely that someone more powerful was using Hong Yu for a larger scheme!

Tai-Yang did not believe that Hong Yu had such a miracle item that could identify the energies of the world, these kinds of materials or items that have this ability are rare and very difficult to obtain. Tai-Yang did not believe that the Celestial Sword sect was so rich to have so many of these materials!

Even Tai-Yang could not deceive these materials, not without using their magical powers, even with their high mana power and spiritual energy. Tai-Yang's key was small and had the golden glow, the heavenly blue glow, and the purple glow. That would be the variation of the earth element, the gold, the "sky" and the chaos energy. The "sky" element is what wizards call those who have the ability to control the elements of the sky, such as wind, lightning and water and their variations.

This indicated that he had an affinity for three elements and could keep those three elements within his body without any problem. What could happen only if at least its cultivation was from the Rising Soul or if it had a root for the double element! Which would be shocking in both cases!

This is because of the different cultivation system, as the Arcane Wizard Sect is focused on mastering all the elements and energies of the world, so it was not uncommon for wizards to have a "storm", "Magma", Tsunami "element, etc. This is also known as composite elements. The "heaven" element for wizards was very rare and almost unbeatable, so it is not surprising that Tai-Yang's magical prowess earned him the title of Demon Lord.

However, how would Tai-Yang let people see its result? Wouldn't that alert your enemies? So he used a little trick to fool the cultivators around him. Of course, he didn't expect Zemin Yan to have such shocking dual-energy as well, otherwise, he would have helped before, but now it was too late to regret it.

Remember, the energies are superior to the elements since the energies can subordinate the elements and the cultivators who have energy in place of the elements can control the elements without having to cultivate them within their own body. 

Of course, the elements cultivated within one's body have a greater advantage, for example, a martial cultivator who has water as his main element, even in the desert, the martial cultivator can "create water" through celestial Qi and or spiritual energy. In cases like these, the energies are not very useful, of course, the energy allows to control any element of the environment, so in a desert, a martial cultivator who controls any of the energies can control the earth and the wind.

Not only did Hong Yu have these jade stones that were made in keys, but these items were given in bulk to Hong Yu, Yun San, and Qi Meiying, because of the recruitment mission. Not just for these core disciples, but all the other core disciples who were scattered throughout the sect's territory to recruit new disciples! That is hundreds of thousands of jade keys! 

So if on the way these cult-core cultivators found "interesting" talented young people by chance, they could take the preliminary tests on the spot and then direct them to the true test of the great sect.

If Tai-Yang knew this, would he cry or curse the wasteful wealth of this great sect? Most likely yes! He thought he was rich, but compared to this great sect monster, he was miserably poor! Even his beloved Arcane Wizard sect was poor compared to the Heavenly Sword Sect!

Good thing Tai-Yang didn't know any of that at that moment, if he did, he would probably go after Hong Yu's head! Of course, Zhong Liang did not have this information about these portable test items either, as he had little interest in the sect's foreign affairs! If not, Hong Yu's head would have rolled a long time ago!

The only one who vaguely had this information was Lan Ruan, but still, watching Hong Yu looked like he was shocked too, so it was to be assumed that the disciple's information was hidden from everyone, even the test supervisors might not know about this!
