Subduing the Tiangang Sword, the sect was shocked

After Su Tianming finished speaking, he shook his head again, refuting himself, "Impossible, this is impossible, how much strength does Xiao Ming have? How could he summon the tiangang sword?"

"I also think it's impossible," Li Changfeng said slowly, "Although Xiao Ming's performance is extremely brilliant, the tiangang sword is extraordinary and not so easy to summon."

"But why did the tiangang sword fly here?" An elder asked in confusion.

Hearing this, Li Changfeng and the others all shook their heads.

They were all equally bewildered.

At this moment.

The tiangang sword floated silently and upright above Xiao Ming's small courtyard, emitting circles of dark golden sword light. The sword light was dazzling, piercing to the eyes, like a miniature sun had risen.

Countless disciples saw this miraculous scene.

Some with curiosity, some with surprise, they all ran out and came to Xiao Ming's residence.

Disciples with strong cultivation came directly through the air. Those with weaker cultivation climbed directly onto nearby treetops or scaled Xiao Ming's wall.

They all looked at the tiangang sword, which was emitting golden sword light, in astonishment.

"Is this the tiangang sword, our Spirit Sword Sect's guardian sword?" A disciple said with excited, infatuated expression.

"I've been in the sect for more than ten years, and this is the first time I've seen the tiangang sword emerge. I'm really broadening my horizons!"

"So this is what the tiangang sword looks like. It's dark gold all over, looks so high-grade, and so beautiful."

"Beauty is secondary; the key is that the tiangang sword is a Heaven Rank Top Grade sword, extremely powerful!"

"Nonsense, the tiangang sword is our sect's treasure, how could it not be powerful?"

The disciples discussed animatedly, and at the same time, their gazes towards the tiangang sword were filled with longing.

Such a powerful sword; any normal martial artist would want to get their hands on it!

Unfortunately, the tiangang sword holds a very special position in the Spirit Sword Sect, and it also possesses a certain consciousness, making it impossible for ordinary people to subdue.

Even.

Even the successive sect masters of the Spirit Sword Sect couldn't subdue the tiangang sword, let alone the many disciples present; they had even less of a chance.

At this moment.

The main room of the small courtyard opened with a 'creak', and Xiao Ming walked out with Hu Yunxi.

"Senior Brother Xiao, look! The sect's guardian treasure, the tiangang sword, suddenly flew into your courtyard!" A disciple shouted a reminder.

Xiao Ming looked up at the sky.

Indeed, about a dozen meters above the ground, a long sword, entirely dark gold in color, floated silently. The sword was over four feet long, and its blade was intricately carved with various magnificent patterns such as mountains, rivers, flying birds, and walking beasts.

The dark golden long sword also sent out circles of golden sword light. The dense sword light spread out, dyeing the space a light gold color.

"Is this the tiangang sword?" Xiao Ming murmured.

At this moment, he finally sensed a deep connection with the tiangang sword.

He clearly felt that the tiangang sword was cheering, exulting.

This feeling was like the extreme excitement of a wanderer who had been missing for many years finally finding his birth parents.

With a slight smile, Xiao Ming beckoned to the tiangang sword.

The next moment!

Under countless astonished gazes, the Spirit Sword Sect's guardian treasure, the tiangang sword, shot down like lightning and actively flew into Xiao Ming's hand!

Then, it was grasped by Xiao Ming!

"Zheng!"

A crisp sword cry rang out.

The tiangang sword let out a joyful cry. Like a fawning dog, it excitedly emitted even more dazzling dark golden sword light.

Silence.

A deathly silence surrounded them.

At this moment, countless disciples all widened their eyes, looking in disbelief at the scene that had suddenly unfolded before them.

First Elder Su Tianming was so shocked his jaw nearly dropped!

Sect Master Li Changfeng stood foolishly in the air, like a statue. His gaze was dull, his face frozen, staring blankly at Xiao Ming.

A moment later.

Whoosh!

The scene suddenly erupted!

"He, he, he actually held the tiangang sword!" A disciple, too excited, began to stutter.

"No, it wasn't Senior Brother Xiao who held the tiangang sword, but... the tiangang sword actively flew into Senior Brother Xiao's hand!"

"Oh my god! Am I not blind? What did I just see?!"

"The sect's guardian treasure, the tiangang sword, a Heaven Rank sword that even previous sect masters couldn't subdue, now actively flew into Senior Brother Xiao's hand?"

"My goodness! How incredibly unbelievable!"

Countless disciples, overwhelmed with shock and excitement, began to discuss uncontrollably. Suddenly, the scene became chaotic, filled with noisy chatter.

The disciples were extremely shocked, and Li Changfeng and the elders were no better off.

The elders stared blankly at Xiao Ming and the docile-looking tiangang sword in his hand, feeling their minds tremble and their worldview profoundly impacted.

An elder swallowed hard, then said with a trembling voice, "Xiao Ming subdued the tiangang sword. This, this how is this possible..."

"This is indeed unbelievable," Su Tianming said with a wry smile, "but we all saw it clearly; all of this really happened. Xiao Ming truly obtained the tiangang sword."

After speaking, Su Tianming turned to Li Changfeng and asked, "Sect Master, what do you think?"

The muscles on Li Changfeng's face twitched; he was still in extreme shock. He seemed unable to believe it, yet he had no choice but to believe.

After a long while, Li Changfeng finally managed to suppress the shock in his heart and said slowly, "The tiangang sword is a Heaven Rank sword treasure that all previous sect masters have yearned for, but no one has ever subdued it. Some couldn't even get within three zhang of the tiangang sword."

"Even I, Li Changfeng, am no exception..."

"But who would have thought, who would have thought... such a powerful sword would actively fly into Xiao Ming's hand. This shouldn't be!"

Li Changfeng couldn't help but complain, "Even if the tiangang sword were to choose a master, it should choose me! I am the Sect Master of the Spirit Sword Sect!"

"Not for long..." Su Tianming said faintly, "According to the sect's strict rules, only those who gain the recognition of the tiangang sword can firmly hold the position of Sect Master."

"Before, the tiangang sword didn't acknowledge anyone, so this rule was practicallyAbandoned and no one cared. But now it's different; now the tiangang sword has reappeared and even chosen Xiao Ming..."

"If we follow the sect's strict rules, the Sect Master of the Spirit Sword Sect can only be Xiao Ming. No one can dispute this point."

Hearing this, Li Changfeng immediately fell silent.

The elders looked at each other, speechless.

Su Tianming was right!

The tiangang sword was not only a Heaven Rank sword with super strong attack power, but also a symbol of the Sect Master. Logically speaking, whoever gained the recognition of the tiangang sword would be the Sect Master of the Spirit Sword Sect!

This was a rule personally established by the founding ancestor, Spirit Sword Emperor, back then.

And this rule, no one dared to break, nor were they qualified to break!
