Su Yuan collected his thoughts and said to Yaohu, “Next, you go visit Linghu Yao at the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect. I will use this Divine Prohibition Technique to hunt some Star Beasts here. When you return from the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect, you can inform Wang Hao to contact the people of the Dragon Palace to return to the East Continent.”

“Okay.” Yaohu nodded and was ready to act.

At this moment, Ashley suddenly walked over from not far away.

“Weren’t you in the middle of a breakthrough?” Su Yuan looked at Ashley, who was in loose pajamas, with some confusion.

Ashley spoke, “If you go to the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect, it’s best to go personally.”

“Oh?” Su Yuan’s expression changed slightly. “Did you foresee something?”

Ashley said, “If only an avatar goes, you’ll get average results. If you go yourself, the outcome may be different.”

However, what exactly it is and whether there is any danger, I can’t see clearly. If I can break through to Radiant Moon, I might be able to see a bit more clearly.

Su Yuan weighed it slightly in his mind and said, “No need to wait. I will go personally.”

Mo Fei was still fine, but it was uncertain how long Ashley would take to break through to Radiant Moon.

Ashley’s predictions might not be that precise, but they had not been wrong so far.

And the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect was not the Demon Sky Palace. They wouldn’t harm anyone without reason.

Looking at Ashley, Su Yuan asked, “How are your preparations for the breakthrough?”

“Now that I’ve predicted your trip to the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect, I’m ready to start the breakthrough.”

“Good, go ahead. If 10 drops of Moon Milk aren’t enough, you can wait until Mo Fei and Antonios complete their breakthroughs and get some more then.”

Ashley nodded slightly, “Okay.”

Watching Ashley leave, Su Yuan said to Yaohu, “Let’s head to the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect now. For safety, I’ll attach to you.”

“Okay.”

Yaohu responded, and with a flash of black light, he left the Qingming Realm, masking the Qingming Realm mark on his shoulder, and his figure flickered towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect…

A few days later, at the foot of Green Cloud Mountain.

Yaohu, in a black robe, descended.

Looking up, there were hundreds of peaks standing tall, magnificently!

Several gatekeeping disciples frowned at first upon seeing Yaohu’s black robe, but immediately recognized his clear face.

“Demon Sky Palace disciple… huh? It’s Qin Lianyun!”

Isn’t this Qin Lianyun, the number one in the Sword Fighting contest!

The Sword Fighting contest had just ended a month ago, and Qin Lianyun’s fame and image had spread across various sects. He was very well-known.

Yaohu, unafraid, walked up to the disciples.

“Friend Qin…” The leading disciple’s face immediately showed some respect. “What brings you to our Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect?”

Yaohu turned over a token, “I had an agreement with Linghu Swordmaster before, and today I am here to see the Swordmaster.”

The leading disciple took the token, glanced at it, and then nodded immediately, handing the token back with both hands.

“Correct, it is indeed a King Level token! Friend Qin, please wait, I’ll report it immediately!”

“Alright.”

Yaohu responded and began waiting.

After about ten minutes, a sharp Sword Intent descended from above, landing in front of Yaohu.

“Friend Qin, long time no see.”

Yaohu looked at the bright-eyed young man in front of him, resembling a sword drawn from its sheath.

“Didn’t expect it would be Friend Fang… Congratulations on reaching Radiant Moon, Friend Fang.”

The person was Fang Shenyi, and from his still-unrestrained powerful aura, he had indeed advanced to Radiant Moon.

Fang Shenyi said, “The aura on Friend Qin is fully restrained. It seems you achieved the Radiant Moon breakthrough earlier than me.”

Yaohu smiled without further comment.

Fang Shenyi reacted and stepped aside, “Friend Qin, follow me, I’ll take you to see the Swordmaster Linghu.”

“Thank you.”

The two figures flickered into two streaks of light heading up Green Cloud Mountain.

“Swordmaster Linghu is on Tian Guang Peak. Tian Guang Peak is one of the Twelve Upper Peaks of our Ten Thousand Sword Heavenly Sect. It receives the Heaven Light above and the Earth Qi below, a rare Pocket World.”

Yaohu asked, “Since Friend Fang is here, does it mean you are apprenticed to the Swordmaster Linghu?”

Fang Shenyi shook his head, “I was at the Communication Hall and heard it was you, so I came directly.”

Yaohu nodded with a smile, “Thank you.”

The two chatted along the way and entered a cloud-covered peak deep in Green Cloud Mountain.

At the peak’s front, a Radiant Moon level Sword Cultivator in a Green Cloud Robe was practicing sword techniques.

Fang Shenyi greeted, “Senior Brother Lou.”

“Junior Brother Fang,” the person stopped and looked at Yaohu in his Demon Sky Palace robe, frowning slightly, “This person is…”

Yaohu produced the token, “I am Qin Lianyun from the Demon Sky Palace, here to see the Swordmaster Linghu as we had agreed.”

At this moment, the token glowed, pointing somewhere.

“Indeed, it is the token left by Master. Junior Brother Fang, you should take him inside.”

“Alright.”

Fang Shenyi responded, taking Yaohu and following the token’s guidance.

In front of Tian Guang Palace, a thin old man and a stout middle-aged man emerged.

“A disciple of Demon Sky Palace?” The thin old man’s eyes fell on Yaohu.

Fang Shenyi greeted, “Elder Yin, Elder Mo.”

Yaohu also bowed respectfully, “Two seniors.”

The stout middle-aged man laughed, “The first in the Sword Fighting contest, Qin Lianyun?”

Yaohu replied, “I didn’t expect the seniors to know my name. It’s an honor.”

The middle-aged man laughed heartily, “Winning the Ten Sects Swordfight single-handedly. Remarkable. Maybe in ten years, you’ll catch up with us!”

“The senior overpraises me.”

“Hurry inside, Swordmaster Linghu is waiting for you.”

“Yes.”

Yaohu and Fang Shenyi entered Tian Guang Palace, where Linghu Yao was already waiting.

Yaohu greeted respectfully, “Senior Linghu.”

“You’re here.” Linghu Yao glanced at Yaohu, “Already at Radiant Moon level.”

“Yes, I broke through by luck.”

Linghu Yao nodded without further small talk and straight away said,

“Zhong Xiu was closely related to me, so you avenging her and bringing back her sword will not be in vain.”

Yaohu’s eyes brightened. He bowed again, waiting for further words.

Linghu Yao slowly spoke, “This time, I have three options for you.

First, a sword;

Second, a skill;

Third… a chance to comprehend a sword.”

“Hmm?” Fang Shenyi uttered in surprise.

The first two were understandable, but the third option intrigued Fang Shenyi.

Yaohu immediately sensed something but asked without showing anything, “Linghu Swordmaster, what kind of sword or skill?”

Linghu Yao waved his hand, and three swords, red, blue, and white, appeared before Yaohu.

“Red Phoenix Sword, Qingxiao Sword, Southern Dipper Killing Sword. These three swords are top-grade Epic Star Artifacts, superior to the swords of Zhong Xiu and Sikong Liu.”

Yaohu’s gaze swept over the three swords, secretly admiring their power.

“As for skills…”

Linghu Yao tossed a jade token.

Yaohu carefully examined it. There were eight skills in total, all decent.

But having seen numerous legendary skills, Yaohu wasn’t impressed by these skills.

Though Linghu Yao wouldn’t offer legend-grade skills, at least they should be top-level secret techniques like the Killing Life Salvation Technique or Sword Above Nine Heavens.

Yaohu understood that the more powerful the skill, the less likely it was to be easily shared.

Yaohu looked at the three swords and the jade token once more, then asked, “What about the ’sword comprehension’?”

Linghu Yao looked at Fang Shenyi and said, “Fang Shenyi, you are from the Intention Sword Lineage. Explain.”

“Yes!”

Fang Shenyi responded and explained to Yaohu.

“Friend Qin, you may know that our Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect is divided into Independent Sword, Ten Thousand Swords, and Intention Sword lineages.

Independent Sword and Ten Thousand Swords cultivate around two epic skills.

Only Intention Sword is different. It relies on comprehending a sword intent from the Sword Enlightenment Tower, unrelated to any cultivation technique.”

“Intention Sword…”

Yaohu felt a stir in his heart. Clearly, epic skills from Independent Sword and Ten Thousand Swords weren’t shared beyond their lineage.

But the Intention Sword lineage’s sword intent, being self-comprehended, wasn’t as restricted.

Fang Shenyi found this unexpected.

External disciples rarely had the chance to enter the Sword Enlightenment Tower.

But considering the connection between Linghu Yao and Zhong Shi, Zhong Xiu’s father, he understood.

Linghu Yao said calmly, “Going to the Sword Enlightenment Tower might yield sword intent or even superior sword intent, but it’s more likely you’ll return empty-handed. My suggestion is to choose one of these swords.”

“Sword intent…”

Yaohu bowed his head slightly, communicating with Su Yuan in the Qingming Realm.

Because extraordinary talent and insight were required, the Intention Sword lineage always had the fewest disciples among the three.

For sect disciples, reaching Gold Level granted a free chance to comprehend sword intent at the Sword Enlightenment Tower.

This way, more might join the Intention Sword lineage. Searᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

But for outsiders, gaining entry to the Sword Enlightenment Tower was extremely difficult.

Su Yuan wanted to visit the Sword Enlightenment Tower. If sword intent could be comprehended, it would be far more valuable than a mere epic longsword.

But whether it was choosing an epic longsword or sword intent, both were sword-related, while he had always been comfortable using a long sword…

Su Yuan quickly thought, soon making a decision.

Being in the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect meant the best options involved swords! Though Su Yuan had always used a sword, the type of weapon didn’t matter as long as it was helpful.

Martial arts were boundless. If helpful, whether it was a sword, gun, or staff didn’t matter!

Following Su Yuan’s instruction, Yaohu looked up and said, “Linghu Swordmaster, I hope to gain the chance to comprehend the sword this time.”

Linghu Yao scrutinized Su Yuan for a moment, then arose and descended.

“Very well, follow me.”

Linghu Yao flew out of Tian Guang Palace, with Yaohu and Fang Shenyi quickly following, heading towards the Sword Enlightenment Tower…
