Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect, on the towering Wujian Peak.
The most important Sword Enlightenment Tower of the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect was located here.
Rather than a tower, it was more like a colossal and extremely ancient Bronze Greatsword slanted into the peak summit!
At least, that’s what it looked like from the outside.
In front of the Sword Enlightenment Tower, a Burning Sun Level elder was on duty. As soon as he saw Linghu Yao descend from the sky, the elder quickly approached and bowed, “Linghu Sword Venerate.”
“Guo Xu, open the Sword Enlightenment Tower.”
“Linghu Sword Venerate, do you intend to take this Demon Sky Palace disciple into the Sword Enlightenment Tower?” Guo Xu’s gaze fell on Su Yuan.
“That’s right.”
“This… Alright.”
Even though Guo Xu was somewhat hesitant, since Linghu Yao had spoken, he naturally could not refuse. He immediately took out a key and inserted it into the Bronze Gate at the base of the Sword Enlightenment Tower behind him.
“Buzz…”
The Bronze Gate trembled slightly and slowly opened to the side.
Demon Soul looked inside, the interior of the Sword Enlightenment Tower was pitch dark, and nothing could be seen from the outside, except for a faint touch of green.
Fang Shenyi glanced at Linghu Yao, then spoke to Demon Soul, “Friend Qin, Sword Intent is limitless, yet it varies in levels, categorized into Ordinary, Superior, and Supreme Sword Intent. Fellow Daoist, you must do your best.”
“Ordinary, Superior, and Supreme Sword Intent huh…”
Fang Shenyi nodded, “The Sword Intent I have comprehended is called Traceless Sword Intent. The intent follows the sword, the sword follows the intent. Each strike attacks the enemy’s flaws, continuous yet traceless. This is a type of Superior Sword Intent.”
Subsequently, Fang Shenyi detailed the general situation of the sword enlightenment to Su Yuan.
After all, every disciple of the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect must be fully prepared before entering the Sword Enlightenment Tower, unlike Su Yuan who had come without knowing anything.
After listening, Demon Soul cupped his hands in thanks, “Thank you, Friend Fang.”
Fang Shenyi shook his head, “No need to be polite, Friend Qin. Killing Tong Ming of the Blood Evil Sect is also avenging my senior and junior brothers and sisters. It is I who should thank you.”
“Alright, then hurry and go in,” Linghu Yao glanced at Demon Soul and casually reminded, “Remember, ‘Intent is born from the heart, and the sword stops the sword.'”
“Thank you for your guidance, Sword Venerate.” Demon Soul cupped his hands to Linghu Yao, then entered the dark Sword Enlightenment Tower.
“Buzz…”
With Demon Soul’s entrance, the Bronze Gate slowly closed by itself.
Walking ahead, Demon Soul gradually saw the faint touch of green, which turned out to be a green twelve-petaled lotus platform, seemingly made of bronze, several meters in diameter.
Demon Soul’s eyes narrowed, his Qingming Imprint on his shoulder glowed. A flash of black light, and he merged with Su Yuan who had emerged from the Qingming Realm.
Su Yuan slightly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he had fully synchronized his information with Demon Soul.
“Green Lotus Sword Platform?”
Su Yuan took a few steps forward, leapt into the center of the Green Lotus Sword Platform, and then sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes.
Gradually, Jinghua circulated on the Green Lotus Sword Platform, and incomparably transparent green light continuously gathered on the cross-legged Su Yuan.
Moments later, when Su Yuan opened his eyes again, the entire Sword Enlightenment Tower suddenly lit up!
The immense inner walls of the Sword Enlightenment Tower were covered with innumerable sword scars, varying in length, depth, distance, and age.
Upon careful examination, they could roughly be divided into three layers.
The upper layer was unclear, with only a few sword scars.
The middle layer had about a hundred sword scars.
The lower layer had thousands of sword scars!
Su Yuan’s heart tightened, “This is the ‘Inner Space’ of the Sword Enlightenment Tower.”
At this moment, the thousands of sword scars seemed to come to life, with faint light surrounding Su Yuan from below, ready to move!
Suddenly, a series of sharp sounds rose from all directions. Immediately, beams of ferocious Sword Qi shot out from the numerous sword scars, striking directly at Su Yuan!
Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed as he watched the many Sword Qi fly towards him but showed no intention of dodging.
“Sizzle sizzle sizzle…”
In the blink of an eye, several strands of Sword Qi struck Su Yuan.
However, there were no bloodstains or wounds, only white marks remaining.
Through the Green Lotus Sword Platform, Su Yuan was now already in the Inner Space of the Sword Enlightenment Tower, and this body was condensed with the help of the lotus platform into a Green Lotus Body.
At this moment, from the lower layer, numerous strands of Sword Qi continuously struck. While enduring the attacks, Su Yuan distinctly felt the Sword Intent contained within these Sword Qi.
Flowing Water Sword Intent, Raging Stream Sword Intent…
Burning Sword Intent, Blast Sword Intent…
Although he could clearly feel these Sword Intents, his Green Lotus Body grew increasingly tattered under the relentless strikes.
The surrounding Sword Qi increased in number, if he did not respond, soon he would be shredded by the myriad Sword Qi!
According to Fang Shenyi, this stage would eliminate ninety percent of Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect disciples.
