The Four Heavenly Sword Pillars

The Four Great Swordmasters of the Blazing Sky Sword Sect

The second master is Mo Tian He, a true swordsman within the Blazing Sky Sword Sect. He is also known as the Sword Master of the Huo Zhou Continent. Mo Tian He has a reserved personality and does not speak much, yet he is an extremely ambitious man when it comes to his sword cultivation.

Within the Blazing Sky Sword Sect, Mo Tian He holds a special authority as a teacher responsible for training disciples in the Sword Hall. After passing the entrance examination, Zhao Ling chose Mo Tian He as his master just before the meeting in the Main Hall was dismissed.

For your information, the Sword Hall is a magnificent place. Its full name is actually Heavenly Southern Sword Hall, as it is located in the southernmost part of the Blazing Sky Sword Sect.

Currently, the Heavenly Southern Sword Hall houses five disciples, including Zhao Ling, who recently passed the entrance examination.

The four disciples who joined before Zhao Ling are Gao Qing, Chao Bingwen, Chengxin, and Jie Daxia. Among them, Jie Daxia stands out as a young and talented female swordsman who has been personally trained by Mo Tian He.

That is the current state of the Heavenly Southern Sword Hall, which is considered equally strong as the Five Elements Temple, located in the western part of the sect.

The third master is Shu Yin, who possesses the highest spiritual power among the four great masters. She is known as the Pink Snow Maiden due to both her cold personality and her striking pink hair.

Despite her icy demeanor, Shu Yin deeply cares for her two disciples, treating them like her own younger siblings.

Her two disciples are Hai Rong and Hai Ruo, whom she took in ten years ago from a village near the Divine Continent.

She trains them in the Twin Blue Cloud Hall, located in the eastern part of the sect. After passing the entrance examination, Xiao Mei has now joined Shu Yin in this place to cultivate under her guidance.

With Xiao Mei's arrival, Shu Yin now has three disciples in the Twin Blue Cloud Hall, where she teaches them the art of mastering soul techniques.

The last master is Huixie, a rare cultivator who has mastered multiple elements in the Huo Zhou Continent. The Five Elements Temple was created by the sect leader to provide specialized training areas for disciples according to their abilities.

Before today, Huixie had only two disciples in the Five Elements Temple, but now, with the addition of Qi Yuan, the number has increased to three.

Qi Yuan was assigned to this hall by the sect leader as a temporary measure after his actions in the Main Hall. This is to ensure that he proves himself worthy of his own words.

The two disciples who were already in the Five Elements Temple before Qi Yuan's arrival are Xian Taozi and Long Taiyang.

Each of them possesses exceptional talent.

Xian Taozi was born with a special physique and has an extraordinary affinity with fire, allowing him to wield it at an impressive level.

Long Taiyang is unique in his own way. He has mastered physical techniques, swordsmanship, and combat arts, and is naturally more gifted than Xian Taozi. His most astonishing trait is his heritage—he is a hybrid between a human and a dragon.

Despite his mixed bloodline, Long Taiyang's physique is completely human. When Qi Yuan learned this from Huixie, he was greatly shocked by the revelation.

These four masters are now known as the Four Heavenly Sword Pillars of the Blazing Sky Sword Sect. This title was granted by the sect leader, as they are the most trusted individuals within the sect and are responsible for elevating the Blazing Sky Sword Sect to the strongest in the Huo Zhou Continent.

The Blazing Sky Sword Sect was founded fifty years ago, and it was the first sect to overthrow the Purple Lotus Sect, which had held the top position for decades.

Led by Sect Leader Shen You, the Blazing Sky Sword Sect shook the entire spiritual world with just five cultivators fifty years ago.

Under Shen You's leadership, the sect has remained at the pinnacle of power to this very day, relying only on a select few cultivators to maintain its dominance.

The Current State of the Five Elements Temple

After the sect entrance examination, Qi Yuan officially joined the Five Elements Temple of the Blazing Sky Sword Sect.

At this moment, Qi Yuan's cultivation has reached Qi Foundation Stage, Level Six.

Both Long Taiyang and Xian Taozi commented on his cultivation level.

"Hey, buddy, you're still so young, yet you've already reached Qi Foundation Stage Level Six? I wasn't anywhere near that strong at your age, haha!" Long Taiyang laughed as he greeted Qi Yuan.

"He's right, you lunatic. But I must say, I'm quite surprised by your appearance, Brother Qi. You look like an adult, and your body is well-built. The sect leader must have known you'd be a perfect fit here." Xian Taozi added, addressing both Long Taiyang and Qi Yuan, while following behind Huixie.

Qi Yuan then explained to Long Taiyang and Xian Taozi about his upbringing, mentioning that he grew up alone with his grandfather, Mu Cheng.

After introducing themselves to one another, they finally arrived at the Five Elements Temple, having walked from the Main Hall for several hours.

"Wow, this place is truly overwhelming! I thought it would just be a regular temple." Qi Yuan exclaimed in awe.

"Haha, surprised? I felt the same way when I first got here, little brother. But beware of Master Huixie, haha!" Long Taiyang laughed while leading Qi Yuan inside.

A large sign reading Five Elements Temple hung above the entrance. The moment Qi Yuan stepped inside, he was greeted with yet another unexpected sight.

Beyond the entrance was a combat arena, surrounded by beautiful peach blossom trees. However, this was not the only surprise in store for him.

This arena was not meant for life-or-death battles but was instead used for training, allowing the disciples to spar and learn from one another.

"This is where we train, buddy! Now that we're together, let's become the strongest in the world!" Long Taiyang declared excitedly.

"You speak as if we're already brothers… You lunatic." Xian Taozi muttered in his usual calm tone.

After stepping into the Five Elements Temple, they arrived at its central chamber.

"Before anything else, I have a question. What's your name, young talent?" Huixie asked.

"Qi Yuan, Master." Qi Yuan answered with enthusiasm.

"Ah, Qi Yuan. Since you're new to the Five Elements Temple, let me explain its details to you." Huixie continued.

Huixie then revealed that this place was built using Heaven and Earth's energy.

The main chamber is massive and has eight hidden doors, each leading to a different training room.

Unlike ordinary buildings, the Five Elements Temple has a circular structure inside, despite appearing as a regular temple from the outside.

Each of the eight doors has a symbol above it, representing different training paths:

Lightning

Fire

Water

Wind

Earth

Sword

Physical Strength

"Each room has ten levels. When you first enter, you will start at Level One, and the highest attainable level is Level Ten." Huixie explained.

"Now, prove your words from the Main Hall. Remember, becoming strong isn't easy, and there are no shortcuts. Train hard. You have until midnight to rest. Show me your potential, Qi Yuan." Huixie declared before leaving.

Now, which training room will Qi Yuan choose?

Will it be one of the five elemental rooms? The sword room? Or perhaps the physical training chamber?
