Sage of Humanity
Chapter 907 - 905 Tyrannical Saber Style 2

The old sword cultivator had already left. The reason for his appearance was likely to witness the Mental Consciousness Destruction Sword with his own eyes.

Lu Ye's mood was restless for a long time.

Compared to what the elder said, Lu Ye was more focused on his mention of the Master Brother rather than the fact that the Mental Consciousness Destruction Sword is not a single-use exotic treasure!

Lu Ye did not know much about this Master Brother he had never met, but he did know that his Master Brother was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime extraordinary figure.

The Righteous Blood Sect flourished and crumbled because of him; the remnants of his influence lingered even decades later.

The Master Brother once owned the Mental Consciousness Destruction Sword!

In other words, the person who entered the Hall of Battle Merits before him was indeed his Master Brother.

Lu Ye had some suspicions about this because, during his first visit to the Hall of Battle Merits, the two dragons had once remarked that the hall hadn't been entered for decades.

Looking back decades ago, who could be more astonishing than the Master Brother? Apart from him, who else qualified to enter the Hall of Battle Merits?

Decades ago, the Mental Consciousness Destruction Sword was in the Master Brother's hand. Decades later, it was with Lu Ye, which led the old sword cultivator to mistakenly believe the item belonged to the Righteous Blood Sect, passed on to him after the Master Brother's death!

Lu Ye naturally did not bother to explain such a misunderstanding.

But... what did it mean that this item wasn't a single-use exotic treasure?

The spirit light within the Mental Consciousness Destruction Sword had already been activated, and now it was merely a sword with unique material properties. Lu Ye had planned to use it for weapon control.

However, the old sword cultivator's words led Lu Ye to consider a possibility.

Being in another sect, it was inconvenient to verify this, so he set the matter aside for the time being.

Warlord Geng and others probably needed several days to recuperate. The current environment wasn't suitable for cultivation, nor was it fitting to activate the Talent Tree to absorb fire spirit stone. Lu Ye decided to close his eyes and focus, seeking enlightenment from Soaring Dragon Origin.

In the endless stellar space, he sought the brightest point of light, following the awe-inspiring life of a peak strongman during a certain period in the Soaring Dragon World.

For some unknown reason, this time when Lu Ye sought enlightenment from Soaring Dragon Origin, he felt it was somewhat different from previous times...

Though the specifics of the difference were elusive.

But soon, a huge surprise hit him like a bolt from the blue.

This time, the figure for enlightenment turned out to be a combat cultivator skilled with the saber!

Lu Ye wept with joy...

It had not been easy.

Since acquiring the fragmented Soaring Dragon Origin, allowing him the ability of enlightenment, he had selected enlightenment from the origin of nearly a hundred strongmen across various factions, witnessing many sword cultivators. Sword cultivators were prone to becoming transcendent figures, their remnants illuminating so brightly they were often selected by Lu Ye.

Having experienced enlightenment from so many origins, observing the cultivation journeys of strongmen across various factions, Lu Ye had acquired skills from multiple schools.

When transforming into Niu Meng to perform magic and spells, even Ying Wuji, who spent time with him, couldn't detect any flaws.

When upgrading the Boulder Mountain Saber, using a spear against Fong Rulie, Fong Rulie was questioned deeply.

Yet, he hadn't encountered a single combat cultivator skilled with the saber.

This had almost become an obsession in Lu Ye's heart.

Finally, today, his bitter efforts paid off, fulfilling his wish!

He quickly immersed his psyche, as if possessed, following the cultivation journey and growth of this saber-wielding combat cultivator...

Time passed.

When Lu Ye opened his eyes, his gaze was bright, clearly having gained much.

The chosen figure for this enlightenment also reached the peak of the Divine Sea Realm, and his lifelong cultivation was an invaluable supreme treasure for Lu Ye.

The only slight flaw was that the path this strongman took differed somewhat from Lu Ye's, as Lu Ye's personality naturally resonated more with the aggressive Tyrannical Saber Technique, while the saber of the strongman from the Soaring Dragon World leaned toward agility...

However, another's rock can be used to sharpen one's jade; all the way through cultivation, Lu Ye's own convictions and style remained firm. He wouldn't be easily swayed; learning from the cultivation experiences of others to enhance his own foundation was the true path.

"How long has it been?" Lu Ye asked.

Every time he underwent enlightenment with Soaring Dragon Origin, he kept track of time because with the development of his own cultivation, the time required for enlightenment was gradually shortening.

Initially, it took Lu Ye two to three days for each enlightenment, but the last time took less than a day.

This is the essence of growth.

"Four hours." Yiyi, hidden within Amber, quietly responded.

Lu Ye was slightly surprised, then overjoyed.

This was the odd sensation he had felt!

He had noticed something peculiar earlier; today's experience with Soaring Dragon Origin felt different from before, but couldn't pinpoint the exact difference.

Only at this moment, did he finally confirm one thing.

The time he spent reflecting on the Origin had significantly reduced.

This is not solely due to his advancement to the True Lake; the main reason is the birth of Mental Consciousness.

Reflecting on the Origin also consumes the power of the psyche. Now that he has nurtured a soul body and given birth to Mental Consciousness, his efficiency has naturally improved greatly.

Perhaps one day, he would reach a level where a single thought could imprint the remains of a strong warrior's Origin upon his heart. By then, he could reflect on the Soaring Dragon World's Origin anytime and anywhere, quickly extracting its nutrients, combining the strengths of many, and discarding the impurities to keep the essence.

Reflecting on the myriad insights of that saber virtuoso was stirring in his sea of consciousness. Lu Ye rose to his full height, landed in an open spot, drew the saber from his waist, and began to dance freely.

Instantly, spirit force surged, and saber light flickered.

This time of reflection brought him a tremendous breakthrough in saber skills. Although there was no growth in cultivation, his skills for confronting the enemy advanced considerably.

Suddenly, Lu Ye's frenzied dancing figure froze, and the saber slashed forward with an unmatched domineering stance.

At that moment, Lu Ye felt as if he were in an endless stellar space, with a crescent moon hanging high behind him, from which endless crescent-like saber lights rained down and enveloped the sky.

The endless sound of air being sliced was deafening, and each of those crescent-like saber lights contained astonishing killing power, carving massive ravines into the surrounding earth, even making the whole spirit mountaintop tremble.

The second move of the Tyrannical Saber Technique, Crescent Moon!

The legacy of the Tyrannical Saber Technique lies in an unremarkable black stone, and one can obtain its true teachings by immersing one's mind in it.

When Lu Ye received the legacy, he had already grasped the first move, Myriad Stars. At that time, he was only at Cloud River Level 6, but over time he had fully mastered this first move, and during idle moments, he had also attempted to comprehend the second move of the Tyrannical Saber Technique, albeit with little success.

Until today, when he reflected on the lifetime of the saber virtuoso within the Origin of the Soaring Dragon World, extracting many of the sword master's saber fantasies and philosophies, Lu Ye finally performed the second move in its entirety!

Compared to the first move, Myriad Stars, the destructive power of the second move, Crescent Moon, is undoubtedly greater, and this strike seems suitable for fighting many foes at once.

However, the consumption is also greater; after executing this strike, Lu Ye's arm was slightly sore, and his chest and abdomen were a tumult of blood Qi.

Bear in mind that he is now at the True Lake Realm, and even one saber strike results in such consumption. Now it seems that during his Cloud River Realm days when he could not comprehend the second move, it was not due to a lack of aptitude but insufficient cultivation.

Now that he is at the True Lake Realm, everything has come naturally.

The first move is named after stars, the second after the moon, and Lu Ye roughly understands what the name of the third move will be; it must be named after the sun.

However, he did not continue to comprehend the third move. Through this experience, Lu Ye understood one thing: if one's level of cultivation is insufficient, comprehension is of little use; it's better to reflect on the Origins of strong warriors from the Soaring Dragon World, and with good fortune, he might encounter another saber virtuoso.

The significant commotion here startled Warlord Geng and others who were recuperating in their respective rooms in the courtyard.

As the sound of air being sliced reached them, several figures revealed themselves.

Turning to glance, they realized it was not an enemy attack, but Lu Ye practicing his saber skills here.

Seeing the surrounding devastation, Xiao Ruyun couldn't help but draw a cold breath: "Oh my heavens..."

Such a scene was caused by someone at True Lake Level 1? The ravines on the ground were three feet deep and several yards long, and there were even massive saber marks left on the nearby mountain cliffs.

Even someone at True Lake Level 5, fully exerting himself, couldn't leave such marks.

Moreover, he is a Capital Commandant!

Xiao Ruyun hadn't forgotten his intent yesterday to suppress Lu Ye using his rank, but ended up being suppressed instead. Of course, his pride was hurt, but he bore no grudge. In fact, upon reflection, he felt somewhat grateful to Lu Ye.

Regardless, this mission was overcompleted, and the rewards would undoubtedly be ample.

The others also appeared visibly moved, looking at Lu Ye as if he were a monster.

"Since everyone's out, let's return to Haotian City and report," Warlord Geng declared.

Originally, they still needed a few days to recover from their injuries, but recuperating in Haotian City is just as feasible. Reporting back sooner might also mean receiving their rewards earlier.

"You're the squad leader, it's your call," Xiao Ruyun shrugged indifferently, and the others had no objections.

"Then let's set off!" Warlord Geng said, directly summoning the spirit ark, seemingly not intending to inform Xianxia Mountain's side.

Indeed, there was no need to notify them. Xianxia Mountain was already overwhelmed with the chaos, and no one came to tend to them.

Among them, Lu Ye was in the best state, so the task of piloting the spirit ark fell to him.

Lu Ye had no objections.

Soon, the spirit ark ascended and soared into the sky.

The elderly sword cultivator, concealed in the shadows, observed the scene from afar, relayed a message to Qian Wudang, reporting the situation, and promptly departed.

On the way back, Warlord Geng finally had the time to thank Lu Ye: "Junior Brother Lu, we owe this mission's success to you. Without your intervention, our task would certainly have failed."

Otherwise, forget about mission completion rewards, even the injuries sustained would be in vain.

"As a squad member, one should give their utmost effort."

"I heard someone wanted to prevent you from coming earlier," Warlord Geng said, casting a glance at Xiao Ruyun, since he had heard from Muk Zheng about what transpired while he was unconscious.
