Chapter 428: Chapter 104: Shangyun Hall, Comprehending Sword Intent!

Luo Cheng circled the mountainside of Mengli Peak and finally selected his residence.

It was a small palace named Shangyun Hall.

The palace perched on the edge of a cliff, with a main hall, two side halls, and a practice field. Behind it lay a pine forest, while in front stretched a vast sea of clouds.

A gentle breeze rustled through the pines, causing the clouds to undulate, creating an atmosphere of profound serenity.

Inside the palace, everything was spotless, and the flower beds and greenery had been meticulously trimmed.

After surveying his new surroundings, Luo Cheng made his way to the practice field.

The practice field was several times larger than Xuanyi Residence, spanning several dozen zhang in diameter. The ground was paved with extremely tough slabs of Extreme Iron Ore, each impeccably arranged. Beside it stood Training Posts designed to test attack strength!

Buzz!

As soon as he stepped into the practice field, a water-blue light screen instantly rose around its edges.

Huh!

Luo Cheng felt the Heaven and Earth Essence Energy growing increasingly dense.

Releasing his Soul Power, Luo Cheng quickly detected that the surrounding Essence Energy, like rippling water, was rapidly converging toward the practice field, contained by the water-blue light screen to prevent any dispersion.

In the blink of an eye, the concentration of Essence Energy in the entire practice field increased tenfold, making the Essence Energy within Luo Cheng’s body become unusually lively!

"This must be the Gathering Element Array! It’s said that the palaces of True Disciples are arranged with Gathering Element Arrays, capable of drawing the Heaven and Earth Essence Energy from dozens of miles around. I can’t even begin to imagine what that would be like!"

Luo Cheng couldn’t help but feel both astonished and envious in his heart.

The sheer purity and richness of the Essence Energy here far surpassed what he had experienced in the Outer Sect!

Refining it would also be significantly easier, and cultivating at such a pace wouldn’t allow him to slow down even if he wanted to.

"The privileges of True Disciples are indeed superb—they even get to own their own mountain peaks. I wonder when I’ll be able to advance to True Disciple status and stand on equal footing with Nangong Jue..."

Luo Cheng had unwavering confidence that, with his potential, achieving True Disciple status was merely a matter of time.

Shaking his head, Luo Cheng dismissed these idle thoughts and sat down on the cultivation mat in the center of the field.

Just as the Supreme Elder of Ming Sect had foretold, whether he liked it or not, he was already at the heart of a whirlwind of conflicts and would face numerous challenges ahead!

His strength, while formidable among the Outer Sect, was somewhat inadequate within the Inner Sect.

He urgently needed to enhance his abilities.

Although Luo Cheng had recently advanced to the Second Layer of the Awakening Vein Realm, the nine strands of Essence Energy Spiritual Light within his body had only unlocked two Xuan Veins.

Eight more strands remained to be activated.

With the Essence Energy here so dense, Luo Cheng decided to dedicate a few days to cultivation.

He planned to unlock the remaining Xuan Veins, stabilize his Realm, and then head to the Washing Body Pond.

"Ah, the Flame Trace Sword!"

Something suddenly came to mind, and Luo Cheng retrieved the Flame Trace Sword.

Its blade was riddled with cracks resembling a spider’s web, as if it might shatter at any moment.

Looking at the ruined blade, Luo Cheng felt a pang of regret.

The Flame Trace Sword had accompanied him for so long, witnessing his victories during the Outer Sect Grand Tournament, the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition, his slaying of the Blood Eagle, and his conquest of Liu Yifeng. It had been a silent participant in his rise to prominence.

And now, it lay in ruins.

Huh!

As his fingers brushed over the blade, Luo Cheng suddenly trembled.

From the cracks in the sword, he discerned a thread of sharpness!

"This is..."

Luo Cheng awakened abruptly and examined it closely, his pupils lighting up.

Within the blade’s fractures, a potent sharpness emanated.

This sharpness felt as though it wanted to burst forth from the sword, piercing minds and severing souls!

"This is Sword Intent! Such fierce Sword Intent!"

Luo Cheng was profoundly shaken and murmured to himself in awe.

He had long known that the Flame Trace Sword harbored the secret of Sword Intent and had previously tried to comprehend it.

However, at the time, his Sword Dao Realm was too low, and the sword’s Sword Intent was too fragmented and indistinct for him to glean anything substantial.

This was the first time he had felt such a piercing Sword Intent emanating from the Flame Trace Sword.

"The Flame Trace Sword was forged from the test sword stone of an extraordinary swordsman, tempered countless times. The Sword Intent it held had already fused into the blade. Now that the blade has fractured, it seems the Sword Intent is being released!"

Luo Cheng quickly grasped the key.

"Haha, a truly unexpected gain!"

Luo Cheng couldn’t help but praise his fortune and decided to focus on cultivating Sword Intent.

Sword Intent provides a swordsman with comprehensive enhancement.

Though he could counter the Fourth Layer Awakening Vein Realm cultivator Qin Douyuan in a normal state, the half Sword Intent he had comprehended played a significant role!

Retrieving an Awakening God Pill, Luo Cheng consumed it and soon entered an optimal state.

"With intent as the sword, transforming the intangible into the tangible..."

Recalling Yan Qingshuang’s understanding of Sword Intent, Luo Cheng focused his mind on the Flame Trace Sword in his hand, delving into the subtle truths contained within its fragmented Sword Intent, and cross-referencing his insights.

Unconsciously, Luo Cheng became deeply engrossed.

The fragmented strands of Sword Intent seemed to come alive. freewēbnoveℓ.com

In a trance, Luo Cheng perceived a peerless swordsman tirelessly training each day, relentlessly swinging his sword in powerful strikes!

Every strike carried awe-inspiring Sword Intent, radiating dazzling sharpness that appeared capable of cleaving through the heavens and splitting the earth!

Night fell, and the stars glittered brightly.

Luo Cheng abruptly snapped out of his trance.

"Huh! Such a powerful Sword Intent—it drew me in completely, making me lose myself!"

Luo Cheng murmured, finding that his inner state had become much clearer, as though all distractions had been cut away.

Gripping the hilt of the Flame Trace Sword, he felt an even deeper connection.

In the depths of his soul, he sensed an obscure sharpness surging forth, elusive yet profound!

It was Sword Intent!

Upon careful examination, Luo Cheng immediately noticed that his Sword Intent had grown more substantial, no longer as hazy or indistinct!

If before he possessed merely half Sword Intent, now it had exceeded one full part.

Don’t underestimate this incremental improvement!

It signified that Luo Cheng’s progress in Sword Intent cultivation had truly entered a foundational stage.

Most swordsmen spend their entire lives unable to take this crucial step!

"Huh, the Sword Intent has weakened considerably!"

Amid his delight, Luo Cheng discovered that the Sword Intent emanating from the Flame Trace Sword had diminished significantly.

"It seems that after the blade fractured, the Sword Intent it contained quickly dissipates!"

Aware of this, Luo Cheng dared not waste any time.

Opportunities to sense Sword Intent at such close range were exceedingly rare!

Clearing his mind of distractions, Luo Cheng continued to cultivate.

The moon sank, and the morning sun rose.

Two days passed. Luo Cheng sat cross-legged in the center of the practice field, as immovable as a rock, his body and spirit fully immersed in the cultivation of Sword Intent, completely losing track of time.

During these two days.

The events that took place at the Eldest Prince’s banquet in the Imperial City involving Luo Cheng spread to the Xuanyuan Sect.

Witnessing Luo Cheng slay Qin Douyuan.

The news of Luo Cheng besting Fierce Cloud Sect’s Inner Sect disciple Xiao Lie and Extreme Dao Sect’s Liu Yifeng didn’t cause much of a stir.

However, Luo Yao holding an Identity Token to ward off the Domain List expert Li Shaofeng for Luo Cheng drew the attention of some astute observers.

Moreover, Luo Yao personally escorted Luo Cheng back to the sect.

Many speculated that Luo Cheng had received assistance from Lingyun Pavilion to escape the Blood Eagle’s pursuit and survive.

His rapid advancement in cultivation was also attributed to Lingyun Pavilion!

In no time, rumors about Luo Cheng and Luo Yao began to swirl.

At the same time, the Elders and disciples who had been dispatched to the Black Wind Forest to search for Luo Cheng’s whereabouts began returning to the sect.

Among them were Chen Xuan and Chen Lingyu.

Upon hearing that Luo Cheng had safely returned to the sect, had advanced to the Awakening Vein Realm, and had ventured alone into the Inner Sect—only to slay Qin Douyuan in front of Jin Min—

Neither Chen Lingyu nor Elder Chen Xuan could believe their ears, even doubting their own understanding of the situation!

Luo Cheng slaying a Middle Stage Awakening Vein Realm expert!?

It was a feat they wouldn’t dare dream of.
