Chapter 410: Chapter 86 Human Sword Integration Perfection! Return to the Sect!

The space within the carriage was quite spacious.

At the center stood a jade-inlaid golden table, adorned with an assortment of exquisite pastries and spiritual fruits.

On either side was a reclining chair, upholstered with the pelts of rare Demon Beasts.

Luo Yao lounged lazily on the chair to the right, her long dress flowing down to the floor. Under the gentle glow of the Luminous Pearl within the carriage, her alluring curves were softly veiled, exuding an irresistible charm.

A faint fragrance, reminiscent of musk and orchids, permeated the air.

With such a breathtaking beauty in such close proximity, an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air, causing an inexplicable restlessness to stir within Luo Cheng.

On any other day, Luo Cheng might have been inclined to revel in the moment.

But now, there were far more pressing matters at hand.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Cheng forced himself to avert his gaze, pulling out an Awakening God Pill and swallowing it before closing his eyes.

"Such an unromantic fellow..."

Luo Yao’s red lips curved into a slight smile. She, too, sat upright and began refining her Essence Energy.

The Awakening God Pill replenished Luo Cheng’s depleted Essence Qi, clearing his mind as he swiftly entered into a state of cultivation.

"Human Sword Integration is the embodiment of intent within the sword, while Sword Intent is forging intent as the sword itself, resonating with heaven and earth, transforming the intangible into the tangible!"

In his mind surfaced Yan Qingshuang’s insight into Sword Intent.

Luo Cheng also recalled the Sword Intent unleashed by Li Shaofeng.

As he compared and reflected on both, Luo Cheng began to immerse himself, a hazy and profound sensation gradually becoming clearer within him!

Hm!

While cultivating, Luo Yao suddenly opened her eyes, looking at Luo Cheng with a hint of surprise.

Although Luo Cheng sat motionlessly before her, she perceived an ethereal and elusive aura emanating from him.

Faintly, a sharp and formidable sword presence flickered around him, teetering on the verge of bursting forth!

"He’s about to break through in his Sword Dao Realm!"

With her keen observation, Luo Yao immediately discerned Luo Cheng’s attempt at advancing his Sword Dao Realm and instructed Amu to slow down their pace.

"Could it be the result of Li Shaofeng’s Sword Intent earlier..."

Luo Yao’s thoughts grasped the crux of the situation. Though delighted, she couldn’t help but feel a trace of astonishment.

Each breakthrough in the Sword Dao Realm was fraught with difficulty.

Yet just a single fragment of Sword Intent was enough to spark Luo Cheng’s comprehension and possibly elevate his realm.

Such formidable aptitude in Sword Dao could only be described as terrifying!

"I wonder if he’ll succeed..."

Luo Yao’s gaze revealed anticipation, her eyes radiating hope.

Golden Cauldron City was several tens of thousands of miles away from Xuanyuan Sect. At their carriage’s normal pace, they would have arrived in two days; traveling slower would take three.

Time slipped away, and on the morning of the third day.

Buzz! freēNovelFire.com

After sitting motionlessly for three days, a surge of razor-sharp currents erupted around Luo Cheng.

The Flame Trace Sword at his waist quivered, seemingly prepared to unsheath itself.

The next moment.

Boom!

A stunning sword presence burst forth from Luo Cheng, sweeping across the surroundings and causing the air to tremble like rippling waves!

Awrooooo!!

The two Fierce Beasts that pulled the carriage trembled, their iron-like feathers standing on end. Their eyes reflected fear, as if they sensed an overwhelmingly dangerous force.

Inside the carriage.

Whoosh!

Luo Cheng opened his eyes, and the breath he expelled resembled both swords and mist, slicing a visible fissure into the air.

"Congratulations on achieving Perfection in Human Sword Integration!"

Luo Yao’s enchanting smile carried both admiration and unmistakable shock in her gaze.

Breaking through the Sword Dao Realm was no trivial matter.

Most failed and never succeeded in advancing their realm.

The Great Yue Dynasty’s Three Great Sects produced countless sword cultivators, yet only a scarce few had attained Human Sword Integration.

Luo Cheng’s endeavor to achieve Perfection in Human Sword Integration, completed in one flawless attempt, was nothing short of extraordinary.

Luo Cheng’s body quivered, the previously rampant sharpness now fully restrained, rendering it imperceptible to outsiders. He smiled and said:

"Even I didn’t expect it to go so smoothly."

Before attempting the breakthrough, Luo Cheng estimated his chances of reaching Perfection in Human Sword Integration to be merely fifty percent, if not less.

After all, it was only a little over a month ago during the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition that his Sword Dao Realm had elevated to Human Sword Integration at the High-level.

The result was unexpectedly seamless.

Reflecting on the reasons, Luo Cheng attributed it to his innate Sword Dao insights while crediting his comprehension of Li Shaofeng’s Sword Intent as the significant catalyst.

In that sense, he owed Li Shaofeng his gratitude.

Eager to test the power of his breakthrough in the Sword Dao Realm, Luo Cheng stepped out of the carriage.

"Slash!"

The Flame Trace Sword unsheathed, and the sword presence within Luo Cheng erupted forth. With a single strike, he aimed at the sea of clouds to the right.

Whoosh!

The sea of clouds split apart for miles, the severed edges perfectly straight, displaying unparalleled sharpness!

Much to Luo Cheng’s surprise, the fissure in the clouds lingered for a moment before gradually closing!

"Hm! There’s a hint of Sword Qi within the sharpness!"

Luo Yao emerged and caught sight of the scene. Her beautiful eyes trembled slightly as she exclaimed in disbelief:

"Could it be that you’ve already touched upon Sword Intent?"

Luo Cheng nodded but immediately shook his head.

"I can only say I’ve found the direction. True comprehension of the threshold of Sword Intent still requires prolonged refinement."

That earlier strike was merely Luo Cheng imagining the momentum of Li Shaofeng’s Sword Intent.

But imitation remains imitation—a fleeting illusion, not something genuinely his.

If the journey from Perfection in Human Sword Integration to comprehending Sword Intent was likened to ten steps.

Luo Cheng estimated his current stage to be at most half a step.

There was still a long path ahead to reaching Sword Intent.

Though Luo Cheng spoke with nonchalance, Luo Yao couldn’t help but feel an uncontrollable excitement, her heart racing.

Sword Intent is intangible and enigmatic, requiring extraordinary aptitude; many spend their entire lives unable to grasp its threshold.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many swordsmen who spend a lifetime failing to comprehend Sword Intent.

For Luo Cheng, having just achieved Perfection in Human Sword Integration, to already have a faint sense of Sword Intent!

Even the smallest of steps held monumental significance.

It signified having the qualifications to pursue Sword Intent!

"Everyone claims Luoxia Sect’s Yan Qingshuang is the foremost swordsman of the Three Sects’ younger generation. In my opinion, it’s you!"

In Luo Yao’s eyes, Luo Cheng was undoubtedly a once-in-a-century Sword Dao prodigy!

Luo Cheng smiled faintly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

His Sword Dao Realm had indeed progressed quite rapidly as of late.

This certainly had to do with his creation of Divine Wind Absolute Kill!

At the very least, Luo Cheng had never heard of anyone at the Tongxuan Realm who had managed to invent a sword skill.

Especially one as formidable as Divine Wind Absolute Kill!

"With this leap in my Sword Dao Realm, my current peak combat power should allow me to comfortably defeat mid-stage Fourth Layer Awakening Vein Realm experts!"

Luo Cheng began gauging his enhanced capabilities.

According to what he knew, Qin Douyuan was at mid-stage Fourth Layer Awakening Vein Realm!

"Qin Douyuan..."

Facing forward, Luo Cheng let out a cold laugh, his gaze sharp.

Two hours later, an expanse of picturesque landscapes emerged into view.

Ahead lay undulating mountains intertwined with streams, forming striking shapes—some resembling fierce tigers, others coiled dragons. Amid rising mists and glimmers of spiritual light, exotic birds soared, imbuing the scenery with an ethereal beauty!

This was Xuanyuan Sect.

The carriage descended gradually before the sect gates.

"Hm! Lingyun Pavilion’s Ink Qilin Beasts!"

A sharp-eyed Outer Elder guarding the gates noticed the carriage, particularly the two imposing Fierce Beasts leading it, and was taken aback.

Rumor holds that the Ink Qilin Beast possesses a Qilin Bloodline, and only esteemed figures from Lingyun Pavilion are entitled to use carriages pulled by them!

Motioning aside several servant disciples, the Outer Elder personally stepped forward to greet them courteously:

"May I inquire as to which honored guest from Lingyun Pavilion has graced us, and the purpose of your visit to Xuanyuan Sect?"

Luo Yao gracefully stepped down from the carriage, her stunning visage drawing gasps from the crowd as she smiled gently and said:

"I am Luo Yao, Pavilion Master of Lingyun Pavilion from Linjiang City. Luo Cheng, come out now."

As the bead curtain lifted, Luo Cheng stepped forth clad in azure robes with a sword strapped at his waist.

"Luo Cheng? Luo Cheng! You—You’re alive!"

The Outer Elder initially froze, then gasped in shock, his expression akin to seeing a ghost.

"Ah! He’s actually Luo Cheng, the Senior Brother!!"

"But wasn’t he dead?"

"Indeed..."

The servant disciples guarding the gates broke into a frenzy.

Luo Cheng’s legendary ascent from servant disciple to champion of the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition had long been passed around as inspiring tales among servant disciples.

Although these servant disciples had only heard of Luo Cheng and never met him, his deeds were as familiar as if etched in their hearts!

Seeing him in person now, each of them couldn’t help but stare in fascination, with female disciples’ eyes twinkling while their cheeks flushed.

Descending from the carriage, Luo Cheng said with a smile, "Thanks to Pavilion Master Luo Yao, I have managed to cheat death."

Luo Yao offered a cryptic smile, "Luo Cheng, I shall take my leave now. If anything arises, come find me in Linjiang City."

"Certainly!"

Watching Luo Yao depart, Luo Cheng turned and walked toward the sect gates.

Nearby onlookers found themselves frozen in disbelief.

"Luo... Luo Cheng, Senior Brother!"

A round-faced female servant disciple suddenly stepped forward, gathering her courage to plead: "Senior Brother Luo Cheng, I beg of you, please go and save Senior Brother Zhang Lian!"
