Chapter 429 - 105: Thirty Percent Sword Intent, A Visitor from the Luoxia Sect!

Chapter 429: Chapter 105: Thirty Percent Sword Intent, A Visitor from the Luoxia Sect!

The storms outside had nothing to do with Luo Cheng.

In the Practice Field, Luo Cheng held the Flame Trace Sword with both hands, seated cross-legged like an old monk in deep meditation, completely motionless.

His brows occasionally relaxed, occasionally furrowed. His upright figure gradually emanated an indescribable sharp aura.

As time went on, the Sword Intent within Luo Cheng’s mind grew more solid, no longer illusory and unfathomable.

He began attempting to actively control the Sword Intent, clashing against the fragmented Sword Intent emitted by the Flame Trace Sword, trying to comprehend its mysteries.

With each clash, the essence of the Sword Intent gradually surged into Luo Cheng’s mind, accelerating his cultivation progress once again.

On the third day.

Crack!

Suddenly,

The air around Luo Cheng trembled slightly, rippling like water. The Flame Trace Sword in his hands instantly shattered into thousands of fragments!

At the same time,

Buzz!

A terrifying killing aura burst forth from Luo Cheng, soaring into the heavens. Vaguely, a shadowy and illusory sword image seemed to form!

Even though the sword image only appeared for a fleeting moment, the peerless sharpness it exuded caused the surrounding space to momentarily warp and distort, as if crying out in pain!

Luo Cheng opened his eyes, his gaze brilliant and radiant as if brimming with sword light, piercing straight into the soul!

"Go!"

Whoosh!

With a flick of his fingers, three strands of Sword Qi shot out, reflecting a metallic luster under the sunlight, appearing as real as three Treasure Swords!

Bang!

The three strands of Sword Qi struck the three Training Posts directly ahead, producing resounding, thunderous booms!

The first Training Post was pierced through completely!

The second Training Post had a distinct sword scar carved into it.

The third Training Post bore only a faint white mark, the Sword Qi dissipating after an instant.

"Not bad! With just a casual strike, I can now obliterate an Awakening Vein Realm early-stage warrior!"

Luo Cheng’s eyes shone brightly, his voice tinged with delight.

These three Training Posts represented the extreme defensive capabilities of warriors at the early, middle, and late stages of the Awakening Vein Realm, respectively.

The first Training Post being pierced through completely.

Indicated that the Sword Qi he casually unleashed could instantaneously obliterate an early-stage Awakening Vein Realm warrior!

Including those at the Third Layer Peak of the Awakening Vein Realm!

If he were to face Liu Yifeng of the Extreme Dao Sect now,

he wouldn’t even need to draw his sword; a mere flick of his fingers could obliterate Liu Yifeng effortlessly!

Compared to when he was in the Imperial City, Luo Cheng’s Cultivation Realm hadn’t changed at all; what had improved was his Sword Dao Realm!

To be precise, it was his Sword Intent!

"My current Sword Intent should be at thirty percent!"

Luo Cheng slightly delved into his senses and immediately came to a conclusion.

The once-illusory Sword Intent in his mind had begun to take shape, transforming from intangible to traceable.

This signified that he had become a Quasi-Sword Intent Swordsman!

From here, it would only take persistent honing and refining of the Sword Intent’s sharpness. One day, he would unveil the true mysteries of Sword Intent!

Attaining genuine mastery of Sword Intent was just around the corner!

Gazing at the shards of the Flame Trace Sword on the ground, Luo Cheng mused to himself, "I didn’t expect the Flame Trace Sword to improve my Sword Intent so much!"

The cultivation of Sword Intent was extraordinarily difficult, requiring extensive exploration and comprehension.

Without exceptional talent and the right opportunities,

it might take three to five years, or even ten or twenty, with no progress whatsoever.

To comprehend thirty percent of Sword Intent within just three days was indeed astonishing, a feat so incredible no one would believe it if spread around.

Of course, Luo Cheng’s rapid progress wasn’t solely due to the Flame Trace Sword.

His own accumulation in the Sword Dao and his extraordinary talent were indispensable factors.

Even if the Flame Trace Sword were given to another swordsman, they might not even achieve a half-step advancement in Sword Intent.

The guidance from Yan Qingshuang in the past also provided Luo Cheng with a clear direction, saving him countless hours of pondering and comprehension.

Li Shaofeng’s unparalleled Sword Qi sharpness further allowed Luo Cheng to grasp the essence of Sword Intent.

It could be said that his progress was the result of multiple factors converging.

"Let’s test the full extent of my combat prowess now!"

Exhaling deeply, Luo Cheng drew the Blood Edge Sword!

"Divine Wind Absolute Kill!"

A terrifying brilliance erupted in his eyes as Luo Cheng unleashed a slash, transforming into a Sword Qi Tornado that fiercely cleaved toward the Training Post representing the peak defensive strength of a middle-stage Awakening Vein Realm warrior.

Boom!

The Training Post trembled violently, its surface marred by countless sword scars. The deepest cut, at its center, reached nearly an inch deep!

"Not bad! Even when facing a Sixth Level Awakening Vein warrior, I won’t be easily overpowered."

"As long as I can cleave this Training Post in one clean strike, I’ll be able to seek vengeance against Sun Yingyang!"

"And as for the Outer Sect Great Elder of the Fierce Cloud Sect, none of them shall escape!"

A sharp gleam flickered in Luo Cheng’s eyes, as cold and cutting as a blade!

These two had bribed the Blood Eagle brothers to take his life.

Had it not been for his remarkable fortune, he would have long perished in the Black Wind Forest, his bones left to rot!

Against those who sought to kill him, Luo Cheng had only one response.

Kill one for one!

Kill two for a pair!

"Advancing my Sword Intent further seems difficult for now. Moving forward, I should focus on strengthening my Cultivation first. Once my Realm is solidified, I’ll head to the Washing Body Pond!"

"Even the Supreme Elder of the Ming Sect holds the Washing Body Pond in high regard. It must be capable of propelling my strength to a whole new level within a short time!"

Luo Cheng felt eager anticipation for training in the Washing Body Pond.

Instead of rushing into more training, Luo Cheng decided first to collect his Inner Sect Disciple Token and uniform.

Then there was the reward for earning first place in the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition.

A total of eight thousand Essence Energy Pills and three Meridian Opening Pills!

The prizes had been predetermined before the competition.

They likely wouldn’t be overshadowed by the "erasure of his merit."

Whether or not this was the case, he’d find out soon enough.

"I wonder if Master Chen Xuan and the others have returned yet..."

Muttering to himself, Luo Cheng walked out of the Practice Field, washed up, changed into a clean set of clothes, and headed out of the hall.

Just as Luo Cheng brimmed with confidence and ambition about his upcoming cultivation,

the Xuanyuan Sect welcomed unexpected visitors.

Screech!

The clear cry of a crane echoed across the skies, clouds churning as a streak of light pierced through the clouds.

An Outer Elder guarding the mountain gate squinted as he gazed upward and exclaimed in shock:

"Eh! It’s Luoxia Sect’s Three-colored Crane!"

As the streak of light rapidly approached, it revealed itself to be a magnificent white crane with three colorful plumes atop its head, carrying nearly a dozen figures on its back!

All ten or so were women, each with an enchanting figure and flawless complexion. Some bore an icy demeanor, others exuded a fresh allure like lotus blossoms, and a few had lively, youthful energy. Every single one of them was stunningly beautiful!

Swish!

As gusts of wind swept by, the Three-colored Crane gracefully landed in front of the mountain gate.

"Who goes there? What brings you to the Xuanyuan Sect?"

An Outer Elder stepped forward to greet them.

A woman garbed in a flowing, water-blue long dress, exuding an unmatched elegance, stepped forward gracefully, smiling as she replied:

"I am Bi Qiushui, the Outer Sect Great Elder of Luoxia Sect. I’ve come to congratulate your disciple Luo Cheng on his advancement to the Awakening Vein Realm. May I trouble you to inform him of my arrival?"

The Outer Sect Great Elder of Luoxia Sect!

The Outer Elder’s expression changed slightly, both astonished and bewildered.

It was true that Luo Cheng had advanced to the Awakening Vein Realm, but surely that didn’t warrant a personal visit from Luoxia Sect’s Outer Sect Great Elder!

Still, it wasn’t his place to question such matters. All he needed to do was show the appropriate respect, and so he cupped his hands and responded promptly:

"So it’s Elder Bi herself! Forgive us for not welcoming you sooner. This way, please!"

Before long, the news of Luoxia Sect’s visitors caused a stir throughout the Xuanyuan Sect’s Outer Sect!
