After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 915 Refining Sword Intent, the Realm of Clarity!

Chen Yang stood in the middle of the third floor.

He first adjusted his state, then released his primordial spirit, mixed with his own sword intent, and probed the surrounding sword tablets.

"Buzz!"

The next second, all the sword tablets reacted.

Chen Yang was momentarily dazed when he saw several sword energies materialize on each of the more than forty sword tablets. These sword energies quickly converged and condensed into a human-shaped phantom.

The phantom was similar in size to Chen Yang, but its features were not clearly visible, and it emitted a faint golden glow.

The sword intent takes shape.

Yang Bo said that the sword intent of the third level could already condense into a human form and fight against people, which seems to be true.

The ability to manifest sword intent is something that can only be achieved at the four realms of swordsmanship.

The four realms of swordsmanship lead to the realm of sword intent. Such powerful individuals can condense a sword soul and use sword intent to unleash sword energy, transforming it into various forms, such as humans or beasts. But their purpose is always the same: to intimidate others.

While intimidating, it can also inflict real damage on the opponent.

This is only the third level, and it is just the sword intent inheritance left by some powerful people who have reached the third realm of sword intent clarity. Such sword intent is far from being able to condense a sword soul and take form.

However, when more than forty sword tablets released their sword energy together, the quantitative change led to a qualitative change, directly condensing into a sword soul, and the sword intent directly manifested into a human form.

"Shh!"

The moment the figure appeared, before Chen Yang had a chance to react, the attack began. Wielding a sword, the figure swiftly charged towards Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was startled. This was inside the tower. If a fight broke out and damaged the sword tower, he wouldn't be able to explain it to the Yang family.

"Shh!"

However, Chen Yang could not sit idly by and wait for death. The Crimson Sky Sword suddenly appeared in his hand, and he also used the Remnant Rainbow Sword Technique to quickly engage the illusory figure in battle.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

Swords flashed and clashed. Facing the opponent's fierce and relentless attacks, Chen Yang was initially struggling to keep up, but gradually he calmed himself and regained the initiative.

The setting sun reflects on the snow, a rainbow pierces the sun, the rainbow breaks through the green mountains, a lone sunset glows in the sky...

Both used the Remnant Rainbow Sword Technique. The sword spirit phantom initially took the initiative to attack, but gradually, for some unknown reason, it began to follow Chen Yang's attacks. Whatever Chen Yang attacked, it attacked. However, the power it displayed was indeed much stronger than Chen Yang's.

"Shhhhh..."

Sword shadows were everywhere in the tower. At first, Chen Yang was a little hesitant to attack, afraid of damaging anything inside the tower. But he soon discovered that their sword techniques could not destroy anything in the tower at all.

The spiritual world!

Chen Yang suddenly realized that this might also be happening within his own mental world.

However, the artistic conception that the sword intent condensed in his spiritual world was exactly the same as the situation in the tower.

Now that he had no more reservations, Chen Yang became ruthless and fought back and forth with the sword spirit phantom, thoroughly enjoying the battle.

After completing a set of sword techniques, the sword spirit phantom seemed to have understood Chen Yang's moves. Suddenly, the sword's momentum surged, and with a fierce strike, it fell like a setting sun, heading straight for Chen Yang.

In an instant, Chen Yang was troubled by an emotion.

despair.

It was an emotion of extreme despair, the despair brought about by the intent of the sword.

Very strong, very terrifying.

Chen Yang's mind wavered for a moment, and in that instant, the sword light fell and struck him directly on the head.

"what!"

Chen Yang exclaimed in surprise, suddenly waking up.

When he came to his senses, he looked around and saw that he was still standing in the tower, surrounded by the sword tablets, which were still displayed, and it was unusually quiet.

He looked down, but there was no sword in his hand.

Just now, I was indeed in my own mental world.

So true.

My heart was pounding wildly. If that had happened in the real world, I probably would have been dead by that sword strike.

That sense of despair, the real feeling and fear of death, is still fresh in Chen Yang's memory.

"Chen Yang?"

Yang Bo's anxious shouts came from below the tower; he must have heard Chen Yang's exclamation.

"I'm fine!"

Chen Yang shouted back.

In fact, his body was soaked with sweat, as if he had just been pulled back from the brink of death.

If an ordinary person had experienced such a move, they would most likely have chickened out and turned around and ran away.

But Chen Yang is definitely not an ordinary person.

He felt it for a moment. Although the sword spirit phantom attack had injured him, it had also made his own sword intent much more refined and complete.

The mental energy and primordial spirit were consumed too much.

Chen Yang took a drop of sang um juice and drank it, then meditated and recovered for a while.

With your energy and spirit replenished, you open your eyes and look radiant.

"Come again!"

With a determined look in his eyes, Chen Yang adjusted his state and immediately used the same technique again, continuing to communicate with all the sword tablets on the third level.

……

Outside the tower.

Yang Bo stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky.

If I heard correctly, Chen Yang's voice came from the third floor.

He actually made it to the third floor?

Does that mean that Chen Yang's swordsmanship is already on par with his great-grandfather's?

Yang Bo was somewhat stunned.

His great-grandfather, Yang Wenguang, was nearly a hundred years old. He had been immersed in the way of the sword for decades, and with the help of the sword tower, he had reached the realm of sword intent clarity and could enter the third level without hindrance.

How old is Chen Yang? In his early twenties, breaking through to the Creation Realm is already abnormal enough, and his attainments in the Dao of Sword are also this high.

That's really an exaggeration.

Yang Bo realized what was happening and was still a little worried that something might have happened to Chen Yang.

After all, that's the third level, and Yang Wenguang is currently the only member of the Yang family who can go up to comprehend the third level of sword intent.

We should hurry up and call the old man over, otherwise if something happens, he won't be able to go up and help.

Yang Bo patted his pockets and realized he hadn't brought his phone. Without thinking about anything else, he quickly ran towards the threshing ground.

……

On the threshing floor.

The rice was piled up everywhere, and there wasn't enough rice left to dry in the threshing ground.

Yang Wenguang looked in the direction of the Sword Tower.

"What's wrong?" Yang Wenhui asked.

Yang Wenguang shook his head.

He had just vaguely sensed a trace of sword intent. Although he was far away, he could feel that the sword intent was not weak.

And it came from the direction of the Sword Tower.

Instinctively, he thought of Chen Yang.

It couldn't be anyone but Chen Yang; it couldn't possibly be that kid Yang Bo.

Yang Wenguang knew Yang Bo's true capabilities perfectly well; there was no way he could possess such strong sword intent.

"How is Chen Yang's talent in swordsmanship?" Yang Wenguang asked Yang Wenhui.

The intensity of that sword intent just now was probably at the peak of the second realm. It's truly incredible that someone so young could cultivate sword intent to such a level.

"he?"

Yang Wenhui shook his head, "This kid's cultivation level changes every day. As for his talent in swordsmanship, it's really hard to say. I have seen him use a sword before, but at that time, he hadn't entered the Spirit Realm yet, so there was no talent to speak of..."

He had only heard that Chen Yang had broken through to the Creation Realm, and he was quite surprised when he first received the news.

When they first met, Chen Yang hadn't even entered the Spirit Realm yet, but he had already killed the two Spirit Realm elders from the Wu family of Pingdingshan. The two brothers, Wu Zhengfeng and Wu Zhengyun, were killed and injured respectively. If Wu Zhengyun hadn't asked him for help and he hadn't arrived at Pangpo Ridge in time, he probably would have buried Wu Zhengyun as well.

After meeting him a few more times, the kid had already entered the Spirit Realm, and even achieved a breakthrough to a higher level, which shocked him greatly. In any case, every time they met, the kid's cultivation level would increase significantly.

Later, I heard the news that he had broken through to the Creation Realm in Emei.

In just one year, he went from an ordinary person to the Creation Realm. In one year, he covered the path that others take a hundred years to traverse. Who can he complain to?

In fact, Yang Wenhui didn't really know much about Chen Yang.

He went to Chengdu a while ago and talked about Chen Yang with Chen Jingzhi. However, Chen Jingzhi completely left Chen Yang to his own devices. If you ask him what Chen Yang likes to eat and drink, or what moles he has on his body, he can tell you all about it. But what does he know about cultivation?
Yang Wenguang hesitated for a moment, just about to say something, when he saw Yang Bo running towards the threshing ground in a panic.

Both elders frowned.

Yang Bo ran to the threshing ground, breathless, and recounted how Chen Yang had gone up to the third floor of the Sword Tower. The third floor?

The two exchanged a glance, naturally worried, and immediately put down their work and headed towards the Sword Tower.

……

-

Outside the Sword Tower.

The three arrived at the Sword Tower. As soon as they entered the courtyard at the foot of the tower, Yang Wenguang, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

"Clang clang clang!"

The bells hanging from the eaves of the tower swayed slightly, making a clear, ringing sound. Several rusty swords stuck in the top of the tower seemed to be driven by some force, vibrating incessantly, as if summoned by some power and about to fly away.

"What's going on? An earthquake?"

Yang Bo looked surprised, but he didn't feel the ground shaking.

No one paid any attention to him.

Yang Wenguang looked up at the third floor, his expression quite interesting.

"Sword resonance? No way, this kid's sword intent has already entered the third realm?" Yang Wenhui was equally shocked.

Not only were the rusty swords stuck on the top of the tower vibrating, but he could also feel that the swords hidden on the first and second floors of the tower were all being drawn by a powerful sword intent and were vibrating.

The sword intent was so strong that it startled him.

He had only ever felt such sword intent from his elder brother, Yang Wenguang. With powerful sword intent, he could make the surrounding swords resonate. This was something that could only be achieved by those at the third level of sword intent, the level of sword intent clarity.

From this sword intent, Yang Wenhui clearly sensed the sword master's emotions.

Joy, excitement!
Emotions are infused with sword intent; this truly represents the third realm!

He was somewhat incredulous. Even he himself had only reached the mid-stage of the second realm after decades of arduous sword cultivation. This kid Chen Yang hadn't even grown his hair yet, and his cultivation had already reached the Creation Realm, which was one thing, but how could his sword skills be so profound?
"Not yet at the third realm, but soon..."

Yang Wenguang spoke up, saying that his perception was more acute than Yang Wenhui's.

However, before he could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred.

"Om..."

On the third floor, a powerful sword intent suddenly erupted.

In an instant, the bells hanging on the eight eaves were blown sideways by a terrifying force.

"Ring ring ring..."

The bell jingled, making a piercing sound.

The powerful sword intent was unleashed, and the sounds of swords trembling in the building filled Yang Wenhui's ears. He could barely stand, and Yang Bo was even more pale, his heart filled with immense fear.

Yang Wenguang stepped forward, his body also radiating sword intent. The moment he stood there, he was like a sword drawn from its sheath, cleaving through rivers and splitting the oncoming sword intent.

Fortunately, the sword intent was not directed at them, and with Yang Wenguang's swordsmanship skills, he could easily parry it.

Yang Wenhui and Yang Bo stood behind him and immediately felt the pressure on them lessen.

The sword intent surged for nearly half a minute before finally subsiding.

The bells hanging on the eaves of the tower returned to their original positions, and the swords inside and outside the tower, which had been vibrating in response to the call, stopped vibrating.

"Shut up!"

Yang Wenguang sheathed his sword intent and let out a long sigh.

At that moment, his heart was filled with amazement.

He really broke through! This little guy actually broke through to the third realm.

He had already achieved a breakthrough before he could even finish speaking?
……

Inside the tower.

Chen Yang's aura dissipated, and his sharpness also subsided, completely breaking free from the state of mind.

The surroundings were silent, but his heart was far from at peace.

He had broken through; he had transcended the three realms of sword intent and reached the realm of enlightenment.

He quickly assessed his own cultivation level.

Although there were no substantial changes in his appearance, he could feel that he had gone further in the way of the sword, and his sword intent had undergone a fundamental sublimation.

The benefit of this sublimation was that he gained a deeper understanding of swordsmanship, and the sword moves he executed could now be infused with his own emotions, making them even more powerful.

For example, he felt that he had gained a much deeper understanding of the Azure God Sword Technique than before, especially the Flying Sword Technique and the Heavenly Sword Art. At the moment when the sword intent became clear, he felt that his comprehension progress had increased dramatically.

In addition, there was an unexpected benefit: the sublimation of his sword intent affected his state of mind, and his state of mind was greatly improved at this moment.

The mental state of someone in the late stage of the Creation Realm has reached perfection. It feels like they have already touched the threshold of the Dao True Realm, just one step away from it.

"call……"

After checking his condition, Chen Yang realized that he was a little exhausted, covered in sweat, and looked like he had just been pulled out of the water.

The simple and direct way to grasp the essence of swordsmanship is fast, but it's also too tedious.

Chen Yang plopped down on the ground without any regard for his image and hurriedly took out some pills to recover.

After a while, he recovered somewhat.

The sword tablet on the third level was of no use to him either.

Chen Yang looked around and his gaze fell on the stairs leading to the fourth floor.

But he quickly abandoned the idea of ​​going up.

Given his current condition, going up to the fourth level would likely be extremely dangerous for him.

His primordial spirit, mental strength, and physical strength were all greatly depleted. Although he could recover with pills, the pills could restore everything but his mind and spirit.

The mental exhaustion was something he couldn't resist no matter what. He had just gone through a major battle, and had faced life and death several times. He was still shaken. Now, he had only one thought: to go back and get some sleep.

Or, you can sleep here.

The fourth level, barring any unforeseen circumstances, is a sword monument left by a powerhouse who has reached the fourth realm. The sword intent of a powerhouse at the fourth realm can easily condense into a sword soul and release a sword domain. Chen Yang cannot imagine how powerful it is.

He feared that if he went up now, he would be instantly killed by the sword intent of the fourth level.

Although it is a battle in the mental world, battles in the mental world are not without danger. If one's consciousness is severed, one may become a vegetable.

Chen Yang had never seen or even imagined what the Sword Domain was.

At least, given his current state, he is too weak to even attempt anything.

To be able to break through from the mid-stage of the second realm to the third realm, it can be said that the trip was worthwhile.

Having just broken through to the third realm, the focus should still be on consolidation and proper reflection.

……

After resting for a while and regaining his strength, Chen Yang finally went downstairs.

After leaving the Sword Tower, the three members of the Yang family had been waiting outside for who knows how long.

"This little guy certainly knows how to surprise us."

Yang Wenhui immediately came forward, staring at Chen Yang from head to toe, his eyes looking at him as if he were a monster.

Chen Yang gave an awkward smile, "What brings you all here?"

"If we hadn't come, who knows how much trouble you would have caused!"

Yang Wenhui stroked his beard, momentarily at a loss for words.

He looked back at Yang Bo. They were both grandsons, so why was Yang Bo's grandson so outstanding while his grandson was so ordinary?
However, thinking about myself, I seem to be quite ordinary.

Yang Wenguang smiled, his face full of appreciation, "Alright, Xiao Yang has just broken through. Don't do any work when you get back. Stay home and consolidate your skills. The Dao of the Sword is boundless, and Sword Intent is the most difficult to cultivate. To be able to cultivate Sword Intent to the level of Clarity at your age, I'm afraid we can't find anyone like you in our Yang family's ancestry..."

Yang Bo also said, "Chen Yang, I didn't really believe in geniuses before, I only believed that hard work could make up for lack of talent, but you've made me have to believe it..."

What was originally a heartfelt remark in Yang Wenhui's ears inexplicably made him furious. "You, you think diligence can make up for lack of talent? You shirk all the work you're asked to do. Tell me, how have you been diligent?"

"I……"

Yang Bo paused for a moment upon hearing this, his tone somewhat weak, "Although I may slack off at work, I've never slacked off when practicing martial arts..."

"You still have a good reason..."

Yang Wenhui shook his head, a hint of helplessness in his voice.

The Yang family has declined with each generation. This generation is still doing well, at least they have Yang Wenguang, who is at the Creation Realm. But the next generation and the generation after that, we can no longer see any outstanding figures.

Fortunately, Yang Wenguang broke through to the Creation Realm, which extended his lifespan. If nothing unexpected happens, it will allow the Yang family to continue for several more generations.

Chen Yang has given him a generous gift this time, so he can pick out a few outstanding students to train.

However, compared to Chen Yang in front of them, these so-called outstanding talents are really...

The three left the sword tower and headed towards the village.

"Stay here with us for a few more days this time. I'll gather all the younger generation in the clan together, and you can give them some lessons and pass on your experience..."

"Experience? What experience could I possibly have?"

"I don't expect anything else. Just talk to them about cultivation and swordsmanship. Our Yang family is a family with a long tradition of swordsmanship. With our family genes, there's no reason why we shouldn't produce sword geniuses..."
