"Concept of Water?"

When they saw Yang Qi display the Concept of Water, the sword faction higher-ups on the viewing platform all revealed expressions of disbelief.

All a sword cultivator's life's work was to comprehend sword intent. However, in the entire sword sect, other than the Saint realm expert Jian Yu, who had lived for a thousand years, Luo Jianxin, who had betrayed the sword faction and became the left protector of the Limitless Demon Sect, even the Sect Master, Luo Tian, who had already become a Saint realm expert, had yet to comprehend the sword intent.

Although sword intent was the strongest existence among all the Concepts, no one could deny that other Concepts were also extremely strong.

No one knew why Yang Qi had comprehended the Concept of Water.

When he first joined the sword faction, he was already at the peak of the Genuine Force. At that time, he seemed to have many kinds of powerful martial arts body techniques on him, and his origin was unknown, he could not have joined the sword faction at first, but when he asked to see Luo Tian, no one knew what the two of them talked about. However, Luo Tian had allowed Yang Qi to join the sword faction, and he was a Successor Disciple.

Although many people had their doubts, Luo Tian's attitude at that time was very resolute, so everyone was very curious about Yang Qi's identity.

Now that Yang Qi had displayed the Concept of Water, it made it even more difficult for everyone to guess Yang Qi's true identity.

When everyone turned to look at Luo Tian, he looked at Yang Qi on the arena and chose to remain silent.

This was what he had promised Yang Qi.

He had once made a deal with Luo Tian, he had promised Luo Tian that he would be able to survive and live in the sword faction. The mysterious ancient family he was in would help the sword faction send a saint, three semi-sage experts, and ten experts at the peak of the Emperor Martial Realm to help the sword faction. Even if the sword faction was destroyed, the Gu family that Yang Qi belonged to would still provide a place for the sword faction's disciples to live and leave behind some sword seed.

The price the sword faction had to pay was to teach Yang Qi the Myriad Sword Technique, a high-grade heaven-step sword art that only the sword faction's headmasters could cultivate. Yang Qi was also allowed to go to the forbidden grounds of the sword sect, the Myriad Sword Peak, and admire the lifetime worth of sword knowledge left behind by the sword faction's experts upon their demise.

The sword faction was already teetering on the verge of collapse. At that time, Chen Yao still hadn't appeared. The Boundless Demon Sect was a threat to the sword faction, and the Liu Family was also constantly growing stronger inside the sword faction.

The sword faction was suffering from internal and external troubles. Luo Tian could not see any hope for the sword faction's revival.

So at that time, he had already prepared for the worst. If the sword faction was truly at a critical moment of survival.

He couldn't really let the sword faction's founder, Jian Jiuxiao's, lifetime's worth of sweat and blood, all be destroyed in his hands. He had to leave behind some Sword Truth seeds, and let the sword faction spread some scorching incense.

If a large sect like the sword faction were to be destroyed, then the only power that could protect the last hope seed of the sword faction would be the mysterious Gu family behind Yang Qi.

Therefore, he privately agreed to Yang Qi's request.

He had long since passed down the Universal Sword Scripture and the Myriad Water Sword Technique to Yang Qi, but he had still kept a low profile. He had always suspected Yang Ke of the motivation behind the Yang Qi's visit to the sword sect, but Luo Tian had felt that it was not only this, even up till now, he had never allowed Yang Qi to step foot into the forbidden grounds of the sword sect.

Even he himself had never been to the Immortal Sword Mountain.

The secret passed down from generation to generation's headmasters was that a thousand years ago, in the great war of sealing devils, millions of devils had been killed, but the true power of devils had reached an indestructible level. There were a total of ten of these devils, known as the ten devils, and underneath the sword peak of the Sword Faction was the top ten ranked devils that were sealed by the devils.

It was even rumored that these great devils each guarded a divine object that could allow Divine Lands cultivators to enter the Spiritual World.

That was a secret passed down from mouth to mouth by the previous school head. Although it might not be true, there was still a bit of credibility.

Luo Tian had a faint feeling that the reason Yang Qi came to the sword sect was because his Gu family had ordered him to come here and steal the divine item guarded by the venerated demon race.

That was why Luo Tian never arranged for Yang Ke to enter the Immortal Sword Mountain.

Luo Tian had also thought about it before. If that secret was real, then even if Yang Qi could find that divine object that could enter the Spiritual World, with the presence of the demon supreme expert, how could he take it away?

However, now that Yang Qi had comprehended the Concept of Water, what if the other party was really able to steal that divine object?

That divine object was also an important part in suppressing the demon supreme expert. If that divine item was lost, then even if the sword of the sword faction's founder, Jiu Xiao, was used on the Immortal Sword Peak, it would still be difficult to stop the demon supreme expert from returning to the world.

As for that Honored Warrior from the demon race, if he appeared, the first one to suffer would be the sword faction. That Honored Warrior from the demon race had long surpassed Fan Tao of the God Realm, and could destroy heaven and earth with a raise of his hand.

Thus, Luo Tian had already made up his mind to not let Yang Qi enter the forbidden area of the Immortal Sword Mountain.

Without the sect master's permission, even a Saint or a legendary God Realm master wouldn't be able to break through the barrier the sword master Jiu Xiao had placed on the Immortal Sword Mountain.

With Chen Yao present, the Liu Family had been completely suppressed. In addition, the morale of the Limitless Demon Sect had greatly decreased, and the sword faction had also become more united, the situation was already much better than before. How could Luo Tian allow Yang Qi to enter the Immortal Sword Mountain.

If what he was thinking in his heart was true, not only would the sword faction and the entire cultivating world cause a huge commotion, but of course, he wouldn't explain anything to these higher-ups.

He only said this in an indifferent tone.

"Everyone, don't be impatient. No matter where Yang Qi comes from, he is a disciple of my sword faction. If he has any ill intentions towards the sword faction, then he would be deceiving his teacher to exterminate his ancestors. The heaven and the people would be angry, and for him to be able to comprehend the Concept of Water is also a blessing for my sword faction."

Although everyone still had some doubts, Luo Tian's words were reasonable, so they all sat down and watched the match onstage.

"..."

"You can choose to admit defeat."

At this moment, Yang Qi was already in the victor's grasp, but he did not seem to be overjoyed at all. His entire body was wrapped in green and white spiritual energy, and his expression was calm and tranquil.

"Haha?" Admit defeat? How could I lose? I must beat you. "

Suddenly, a layer of black flames started burning on Li Mo's body which was restricted by Yang Qi's Intent Domain.

"Soul Igniting?"

Because Liu Kuang had only used this move for a short period of time, everyone had a deep impression of Li Mo using this vicious secret technique.

He was really crazy.
