Chapter 224: Chapter 219: With one sword, all swords resonate!

Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, a millennium-old Sword Pond beside which pure white snow covers the area, with snowflakes slowly floating down from the sky. Two figures stand shoulder to shoulder, peering through the clear water at the Mystic Ice Coffin which lies at the bottom, while lively fish swim in the water.

"Will your little disciple awaken today? My disciple hasn’t gained insights here for so many days."

Zhou Yuzhi’s face is filled with an expression of annoyance, knowing right from the moment Chen Hua showed up at his doorstep that this guy was up to no good.

Sure enough, he opened with a request to borrow their Taoist Sect’s treasure, the Sword Pond, for two days.

Considering his friendship with Chen Hua, this was of course not a problem, but the elders of the sect were not as close to Chen Hua, and their relations were actually quite tense due to the matter of the You Meng Garden Transformation Array.

When Zhou Yuzhi secretly gathered the opposing elders to discuss this, Chen Hua swaggered in by kicking the door open, placed the notorious Immortal Sword "Taoist Collection" that followed him in front of the elders, then looked around with a cold smile and asked:

"Look at me, and look at this sword. I’ll ask one more time."

"Who’s in favor? Who’s against?"

The expressions on the elders’ faces instantly turned as if they had collectively swallowed flies.

It wasn’t because of Chen Hua’s bullying behavior—after all, the high-level masters in the Cultivation World were all used to that, weren’t they?

Rather, it was because Chen Hua knew the time and place of this discussion, which surely meant there was a traitor among them, and it was all too obvious who that was!

Looking at Zhou Yuzhi who, after a high-five with Chen Hua, walked out the door arm in arm and chuckling, the elders just felt a dark and gloomy future for the sect!

Is it still possible to transfer to another sect now?

But after all, Zhou Yuzhi is the Sect Master of Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, and even though he had opened a backdoor for Chen Hua as wide as the Mountain Gate, he still could not overdo it.

So they agreed to a three-day limit for using the Sword Pond, which he estimated should be enough for the Sword Intent in the pond and Su Youyi to resonate and wake her up.

But it was three days on top of another three days, and now it had been nine days in total!

"Isn’t it because your disciple’s constitution is too special? A Qianyuan Sword Embryo that’s rare to see even in one epoch."

"Others remain here because their time of insight isn’t enough, but your disciple left because there was nothing left to comprehend for herself."

Chen Hua is also full of admiration, that young lad is the first person besides Youyi who he has ever considered taking as a disciple.

As for Liang Yi? Sorry, that was just a side matter when he was being accepted.

All he had hoped for his chief disciple was to walk through life peacefully and normally, never expecting to see such a terrifying burst of talent after reversing life and death.

Zhou Yuzhi, hearing Chen Hua’s praises, feels greatly relieved and waves his hand modestly, saying:

"Keep it down, my disciple is just fairly outstanding, I’m waiting for him to surpass you one day."

"Then you might as well change your disciple now," Chen Hua decisively pours cold water on him.

"Hey, hey, don’t change the subject, what’s going on with your little disciple? I have almost been annoyed to death by those old men these past few days, if she doesn’t wake up, I might become the first Sect Master to be driven from Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool in history."

Zhou Yuzhi frowns deeply, feeling an immense pressure.

"Don’t worry, once we enter the Purple Cloud Phoenix Extreme Secret Realm, I’ll let Youyi work as support together with your disciple for a while. When you obtain anything, just split it as you see fit, and go your separate ways when competing for the biggest prize. All good now?" Chen Hua can’t bear to see his good brother suffer, so he pats his shoulder in consolation.

"That’s more like it." Zhou Yuzhi’s face looks much better now, as chances within the Secret Realm are unpredictable, and he might just stumble upon some earth-shattering opportunity.

During such competition for fortunes, having one more top-notch master is having extra protection. With Su Youyi, Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool is as good as having Ke Mengzhan himself, making them more adept at seizing opportunities.

And Chen Hua’s promise is enough to plug the incessant nagging of those old men.

He even suspected that if these old men had spent their time lecturing him on swordsmanship, by now each of them would probably have reached Great Perfection of the Seventh Realm and be advancing towards the Eighth Realm.

"Shh, there’s movement," Chen Hua’s eyes narrowed as he turned to look toward the Mystic Ice Coffin at the bottom of the pond, Zhou Yuzhi also sensed the anomaly in the next instant.

A spinning force faintly emanated from the Mystic Ice Coffin. At first, it was extremely weak, but within a mere few breaths, it had already formed a colossal vortex in the water, the roaring sound of the current caused the entire Heavenly Pool to vibrate.

The originally crystal-clear pond water was now stirred up, displaying a completely different scene from before. The calm was utterly shattered, and the fishes that had been quietly and lazily swimming about began to scatter in panic.

But in the eyes of Chen Hua and Zhou Yuzhi, the schools of fish gradually manifested into their true forms: millions of longsword phantoms.

There were no fishes raised in the Sword Pond; it nurtured the sword intent left behind by each disciple who had cultivated their Sword Intent in the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool over its many years.

At this moment, the scene in the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool flawlessly recreated the phrase "Swords move like swimming dragons."

Within the tornado triggered by Su Youyi, the Sword Intent soared into the sky, strikingly piercing the clouds and even dispersing the snow clouds that had loomed over this place for countless years.

The disciples who were practicing swordsmanship in the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool stopped wielding their swords one after another, their faces full of astonishment as they looked toward the strange phenomenon behind the Sect’s mountain, and the snow that had been gently falling all this time unexpectedly came to a halt.

Ke Mengzhan was lying on a rooftop snoring, and it was only when the Sword Intent surged like a dragon ascending heaven that he sleepily opened his eyes for a glance, patted his companion sword, then closed his eyes to return to slumber. He murmured a few words quietly, but no one heard them clearly.

Chen Hua and Zhou Yuzhi standing beside the Sword Pond watched the Mystic Ice Coffin slowly rise from the bottom of the pond, its cracks widening as they ascended, with the constant sound of ice shattering.

When the Mystic Ice Coffin reached the same height as Chen Hua and the others, it completely shattered, revealing Su Youyi’s graceful figure.

The moment the ice coffin shattered, an invisible Sword Intent emanated from Su Youyi’s body, instantly sweeping across the entire Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool.

It was Zhou Yuzhi who reacted quickly, directing the Sect Protection Array to pause for a moment; otherwise, it might have automatically retaliated.

A white flower quietly blossomed at the foot of Chen Hua. Although plain, it symbolized the blooming of life!

"Clang!"

A sound of a sword cry arose from the Sword Pond, followed by millions of echoing sword cries.

With the sword cries came a blooming sea of flowers! Wherever the sword cries spread, a myriad of flowers burst into blossom.

Su Youyi’s Sword Intent was like a spring breeze, and the companion swords of the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool disciples were like chimes in the wind.

Through one sword, all swords are conveyed, eventually leading to all swords resounding together!

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool was completely covered by a sea of flowers.

Countless disciples, holding their humming swords, felt the Sword Intent, refreshing like a spring breeze, rising from the depths of their hearts. They took several deep breaths, inhaling a fragrance of flowers never before encountered in the Sect, and they couldn’t help but feel greatly uplifted.

"Damn, since the establishment of the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, such a phenomenon has never occurred; your disciple is quite remarkable," Zhou Yuzhi looked down at the flowerbed beneath his feet, then turned his head to glance at the Sect covered in fresh flowers, and imagining the scene of those stuffy old men witnessing this, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

However, this disciple of Chen Hua has a conception that seems rather extraordinary.

"One Sword Destroying All Techniques?" Zhou Yuzhi asked.

"At its root, yes," Chen Hua nodded, equally filled with admiration.

His two disciples each enjoyed stirring things up, teaching Liang Yi the "Sword Births All Techniques," yet he created the bloodthirsty "killing autumn"; asking the young disciple Youyi to learn "One Sword Destroying All Techniques," but what was realized now was clearly the path of "Life Creation."

"Damn, such an aptitude, truly fucking amazing!" Zhou Yuzhi’s face showed surprise; with his and Chen Hua’s relationship, understanding the two Sword Immortal Realms of the Taoist Sect naturally wasn’t a problem.

But he also held the same belief as Chen Hua: there is no strongest, only stronger.

Although the Sword Immortals of the Taoist Sect were pioneers of the Sword Dao, it didn’t mean that they, as successors, couldn’t surpass their predecessors. Therefore, he took those two conceptions merely as a reference and not as a foundation.

But he didn’t deny that, at present, he was separated from the masters of those two realms by an insurmountable Heavenly Chasm. Yet today, someone has already grasped the essence of these realms in the Fourth Realm, which truly astonished him.
