Heaven-defying Sword Venerable

黎明的第一缕曙光照亮了远处的群山,笼罩在一层薄薄的薄雾中.熙熙攘攘的人群聚集在玄天宗的外山脚下,热切地等待着一年一度的招弟选拔赛.人群中站着叶辰,他的拳头紧紧地握在一起,指甲都深深地扎进了他的手掌.他面前是一块半人高的晶石,发出微弱的光芒——这是用来测试灵根资质的装置.当轮到他时,人群中传来了一阵低语声."那不是叶家的那个倒霉的孩子吗?""我听说他生来就没有灵性根基——一个彻头彻尾的瘸子.""哈,一个瘸子来这里尝试修炼之路有什么意义?"真是个笑话.嘲讽的笑声如针一样刺穿了叶辰的耳朵,但他只是咬紧牙关,毅然决然地向前走去.慢慢地,他把手放在石头上.它微弱地闪烁着光芒,但没有表现出明显的反应."果然,垃圾!"监长老冷笑一声,不屑地将录音玉简扔到一边."灵根中没有元素属性.无法修炼.下一个!人群爆发出笑声,他们的嘲讽如刀刃般划破了叶辰.叶辰一言不发,将目光垂向他颤抖的双手.这不是他第一次遭受这样的羞辱.自从他的父母英年早逝后,他就成为了人们鄙视的对象.就算有父母留下的唯一遗物——一枚破旧的空间戒指——他也没有办法改变自己的命运."叶辰!"一个熟悉的声音突然喊道.从人群中走出来的是一个身穿奢华紫色长袍的年轻人.那是秦阳,玄天宗内门弟子的神童."秦阳师兄怎么在这里?""他们说叶家的垮台和秦家有关.这应该很有趣.叶辰目光冰冷,盯着秦阳,秦阳脸上露出嘲讽的笑容."叶辰,我必须佩服你的勇气.明知你是个瘸子,却来这里自欺欺人?叶辰沉默不语,不屈的目光锁定在秦阳身上."这是什么?不相信吗?秦阳冷笑一声,一脚踢翻了叶辰身边的晶石."修炼界,唯强者受人尊敬.像你这样的人,甚至不配走修炼之路."强者受尊重?"叶辰的嘴唇上扯出一抹淡淡的笑容.他蹲下身子捡起那颗倒塌的结晶石,让它重新竖直."如果是这样的话,总有一天,我会让你明白谁是真正的强者."秦阳的脸色一时阴沉,但很快又露出了嘲讽的笑容.他轻蔑地转身离开,他的笑声消失在远处,让人群的嘲讽在空气中挥之不去.叶辰转身离开了试炼场,朝着宗门外的森林走去.他沿着狭窄的小路走,直到他到达一个僻静的地方,最后他停了下来,盘腿而坐.他拿出那枚古老的空间戒指,沉默地凝视着它."爸爸,妈妈,你们是受人尊敬的剑仙.然而,我只能承受世界的嘲笑...我该如何逃脱这种命运?他的喃喃自语中充满了绝望,他紧紧地握着戒指,仿佛这是他最后的希望.突然,戒指发出微弱的光芒."这是什么...?"叶辰愣住了.戒指似乎是活的,在他的手中微微颤抖.突然,一股强大的吸力从中涌出,他的意识突然被拉入了一个陌生的维度.那是一片广阔无垠的空间,充满了无数古老的剑影,向四面八方旋转.一个凝重而古老的声音在他耳边回荡:"天命脉,千年未见...终于,你来了.叶辰抬头看到一个飘逸的白发老者悬浮在空中.那人手持一把幻影般的长剑,散发着压倒性的气息,仿佛整个空间都屈服于他的意志."你是谁?"叶辰问道,声音微微颤抖."我是九天剑神.这剑域是我留下的遗产,"长老宣布道,他的声音如雷鸣般响亮."虽然世人称你为瘸子,但你身上却有天命脉络.虽然对普通修炼毫无用处,但它却是剑术的至高器皿."天命脉..."叶辰重复了一遍,眼中闪过一丝困惑和敬畏."If you wish to inherit my path of the sword, all the knowledge and power within this domain shall be yours. But the path of the sword is fraught with peril, and death may come at any step. Do you have the resolve?"Ye Chen's fists tightened, and a fiery determination ignited in his gaze. "I do!"The Sword God nodded approvingly. With a wave of his hand, countless sword shadows merged into streams of light that surged into Ye Chen's body. Intense pain burned through his veins like fire, but Ye Chen clenched his teeth, enduring it without a sound."Remember, the path of the sword has nine stages. Only by uniting your heart with the sword can you achieve invincibility," the Sword God's voice faded, and the space dissolved into nothingness.When Ye Chen opened his eyes, he found himself back in the forest, clutching the spatial ring. His entire demeanor had transformed. His gaze now carried a sharpness, like an unsheathed blade.He stood and casually swung his hand. An invisible sword energy rippled out, cutting through the vegetation ten steps ahead."From this day forth, I, Ye Chen, will no longer be a disgrace."He lifted his head, his eyes blazing with unrelenting determination as he looked toward the distant Xuantian Sect. "Qin Yang, Xuantian Sect… Soon, you will learn what true talent is."
