Chapter 208: Chapter 199 Sword Enlightenment

After storing away the herbs properly, Mo Wangchen returned once again to his room.

He sat cross-legged, took out the Yuanhong Sword, and gently brushed his hand over the scabbard, "Over the past month, my swordsmanship has improved a lot, and half a month ago, I inadvertently touched upon some kind of Empty Spirit State."

"In that state, it felt as if everything around me was cut off from myself, as if in a state of self-forgetfulness, but, there was also a strange feeling..."

As he talked to himself, Mo Wangchen placed the Yuanhong Sword in front of him, his eyes slightly narrowed, and flashes of sharp light passed through his gaze. Taking a deep breath, he entered again into a state of closed eyes.

He wanted to try to see if he could enter that magical state once again.

As time passed, the room was filled with growing unrest from the invisible fluctuations of Spiritual Power. Around Mo Wangchen, it seemed as though a certain domain had formed, exuding a piercing sharpness. If anyone approached, they would undoubtedly be shaken by that aura.

Hum!

Who knows how much time had passed when, suddenly, the space inside the room wavered slightly. The moment Mo Wangchen opened his eyes again, an astonishing cold light flashed, like Sword Light, erupting at the instant he opened his eyes.

Swoosh!

The Sword Light slashed through the Void, cleaving a teacup sitting on a nearby table cleanly into two halves.

At the same time, Mo Wangchen’s body shook violently, as a sensation he’d never felt before invaded his mind. At this moment, his eyes seemed empty, his gaze blurred, with not a hint of focus.

Hum hum!

Hum hum!

The space inside the room became extremely restless, and at that moment, right where Mo Wangchen was, an unrivaled sharp momentum was released, and a majestic Sword Dao Will burst forth from him.

At a certain moment, after this state persisted for about ten breaths, the previously unfocused look in Mo Wangchen’s eyes once again gained sharpness. His eyes grew colder, like a drawn sword, stirring an inexplicable chill in the hearts of those who looked into them.

Clang!

In his hand, the Yuanhong Sword was unsheathed, drawing an astonishing Sword Light through the Void. Seemingly, a great natural power of Heaven and Earth vibrated in resonance with the movement of his sword.

Hum hum!

Hum hum!

The Yuanhong Sword let out a humming sound, trembling slightly, as if conveying its excitement to Mo Wangchen.

"Indeed!"

Looking at the Yuanhong Sword trembling slightly in his hand, Mo Wangchen let out a long sigh of relief. He stood up from where he was, "I wasn’t wrong. That sensation was indeed me touching upon the edge of Sword Intent."

In his eyes, an unbounded self-confidence emerged, for Mo Wangchen had already comprehended Sword Intent moments ago.

Sword Intent, elusive and intangible—one in a million Sword Cultivators might not be able to comprehend it. While Talent certainly plays a role, what’s more important is opportunity!

To Mo Wangchen’s knowledge, among the younger generation of the entire Ten Directions Realm, only Sikong Yi, the Saint Heir of the Sword Sect, had managed to comprehend Sword Intent.

Unexpectedly, he too had now inadvertently come to understand this existence that drove all Swordmen to frenzy.

Now, Swordsmanship had become his greatest reliance!

Having comprehended Sword Intent, Mo Wangchen felt as if he had been sublimated. His senses had become much clearer, and if he listened closely, it was as if he could hear the sound of all things.

His gaze also turned much colder. This chill was not intentionally displayed, but seemed to come naturally after comprehending Sword Intent.

...

When he walked out of the room, he found it was already early the next morning. The sky was beginning to brighten with the faint emergence of the Bright Sun on the horizon, and the entire earth seemed to come back to life at this moment.

Squeak!

From the direction of the Chores Room, Zhang Feng also emerged at this time, stepping out the door. Since becoming a Servant Disciple under Mo Wangchen, his life had fallen into a regular routine, and he almost always rose at this hour every day to do what had to be done.

With the equipment for watering Spirit Grass in hand, Zhang Feng had just closed the door of the Chores Room behind him and was about to draw water when he noticed Mo Wangchen’s presence.

Uh!

He was momentarily stunned, as this was the first time he had seen Mo Wangchen up and walking around so early.

"Senior Brother..."

Approaching Mo Wangchen, Zhang Feng greeted him with great respect.

But quickly, he felt that something was different, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"What’s the matter?" Mo Wangchen asked with curiosity when he saw the expression on Zhang Feng’s face.

Zhang Feng shook his head, his voice deep and resonant, "Why do I feel like Senior Brother has become a different person? I wonder if it’s just my imagination..."

"It’s just your imagination," Mo Wangchen said with a smile, without revealing to the other that he had comprehended Sword Intent. However, during this time, Zhang Feng was aware that he had been practicing swordplay daily in the courtyard.

Mo Wangchen looked up towards the outside of the courtyard, puzzled, "Why is it so noisy in the Sect today?"

From a distance, Mo Wangchen could occasionally hear snippets of conversation, as if people were talking.

"Today is the day of our Pill Sect’s grand Alchemy competition, and many elders from different powers in the Ten Directions Domain have come. By now, they must all be gathering at the square where the competition is being held," Zhang Feng explained.

Hearing this, Mo Wangchen then remembered.

"It looks like quite a number of people have come. I wonder what sort of characters they all are..."

Zhang Feng laughed, "As one of the three giants in the Ten Directions Domain, our Pill Sect’s competition is a contest of Alchemy among all the Inheritance Disciples. Naturally, it attracts countless powers to observe. If someone performs exceptionally, they might even be recruited by other powers to become a Tributor Pill Master, and the remuneration is substantial."

"Tributor?" Mo Wangchen was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in understanding.

The so-called Tributor, in fact, was not much different from a Guest Elder!

...

Before long, he had left the courtyard and was heading straight for the square where the competition was to be held.

Along the way, Mo Wangchen observed that, apart from the disciples of the Pill Sect, the Sect was now filled with many of the younger generation, but most of them belonged to other powers.

Some talked shoulder to shoulder, while others secretly offered treasures to forge closer relationships.

After all, each disciple of the Pill Sect was an Alchemist, and getting on good terms with one could only be a good thing for anyone.

Thump!

As the Bright Sun fully showed itself and sunlight bathed the grounds of the Pill Sect, all of a sudden, a grand and resonant drum sound could be heard not far ahead.

This drum sound contained a hint of Spiritual Power within it, making it echo long and resound far and wide.

Whoosh!

At the moment the drum sounded, noises erupted from all around the Pill Sect; simultaneously, almost everyone hastened toward the square from where the drumbeats emanated.

Mo Wangchen couldn’t help but quicken his pace. In no time, upon arriving at the square, he found that it was already swarming with an ocean of people.

Aside from the nearly ten thousand disciples of the Pill Sect, there were many more observers from the various powers of the Ten Directions Domain. The total number of people had reached nearly one hundred thousand, making the scene unprecedentedly grand!
