I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 406 Song Tao is shocked (Seeking monthly votes)

Jiang Yi slept for a whole month.

The storm that had swept through the Lingxu Sword Sect in the nine battles that day gradually subsided, but the reputation of Jiang Yi, the 'Senior Sister,' had spread throughout the Lingxu Sword Sect and beyond, and even the Qingwei Sword Sect and Taichu Sword Sect had many rumors about her.

The record of that day's duel spread like wildfire, and sword cultivators who hadn't witnessed it came to challenge him, but Jiang Yi and Zhao Ming were both absent.

Only Liu Taozhi and Luo Qingsi were on Yunmiao Peak. Some warlike sword cultivators, not wanting to make a wasted trip, challenged the two of them.

As a result, they all suffered a crushing defeat and dared not come back.

After all, Zhu Xin feels uncomfortable if he doesn't curse someone for a day.

This day.

After running out of copies of the "Songtao Sword Master" storybook, I went to Qing Shi City to buy books and discovered a newly released storybook.

The author is Lou Tianji. Song Tao has been reading storybooks for hundreds of years and has a discerning eye, but he was deeply attracted to this book just by looking at the title.

Aside from that, most books have titles like "Biography" or "Record," but this one is truly remarkable: it's called "The Sword Sect's Charismatic Heiress Cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness."

Song Tao was immediately tempted, but resisted the urge to take it.

He immediately went out to change his clothes and disguise, and when he returned to buy, they were sold out!
Song Tao almost lost control of his sword energy and blew up the bookstore.

The shopkeeper told him to come back in a few days, saying they were already speeding up the printing process.

Song Tao asked the shopkeeper who had bought the book. The shopkeeper widened his eyes and emphasized that this was Qing Shi City, and that the outside was full of sword cultivators, so he should not act rashly.

Songtao was very depressed, feeling like his whole body was being crawled on by ants, and he had no way of going to the deep mountains to practice Taoism anymore.

Left with no other choice, Songtao decided to go find Jueying and go to the Sword Tomb together to see how Jiang Heying was doing.

As a result, Jueying hesitated and told Songtao not to go.

Songtao, stubborn as a mule, insisted on going despite being told not to. He grabbed Jueying and they flashed to the Sword Tomb on the back mountain. Songtao immediately spotted Jiang Yi lying on her side on a bamboo mat, fast asleep, blocking the entrance to the Sword Tomb.

Her back was only a fist's distance from the barrier at the entrance to the Sword Tomb, meaning she didn't even go inside; she just went in and lay down.

"how long?"

Song Tao asked with a stern face.

Jueying took a deep breath, then sighed, then took another deep breath, then sighed again, finally managing to utter two words.

"January."

Song Tao squinted, "Learning from me?"

Jueying cried out in horror, "No!"

Songtao's face darkened, and Jueying coughed violently, choked by saliva.

"No, no, really no. I mean, she's been sleeping there without moving since the first day she went in, and it's been exactly thirty days, a month now."

Song Tao's expression relaxed slightly. "Very good!"

Jueying's lips twitched. Was this to say he was good, or that Jiang Yi was good?

Since Jiang Yi went in, the Shadowless Sword Lord has come many times during this period, and each time he has seen the same scene.

Jiang Yi stood motionless at the entrance of the Sword Tomb, as if she had turned to stone, without changing her posture.

If she had taken two more steps inside, the Sword Lord of Shadowless Swords wouldn't have been able to penetrate the Sword Tomb with his divine sense and see her, and perhaps he wouldn't have been so troubled.

The thought that Jiang Yi might break the Lingxu Sword Sect's record of 181 days of endurance within the Sword Tomb while the Sword Master was asleep was more painful than being slashed a hundred times. He would be too embarrassed to tell anyone if they asked him about it later.

Jueying's divine sense couldn't penetrate the Sword Tomb, but Songtao could. After all, he had entered the Sword Tomb twice, and the swords inside were familiar with him, so they didn't reject his divine sense too much.

Without saying a word, Song Tao strode to the entrance of the Sword Tomb and stood behind Jiang Yi across the barrier.

Jiang Yi, who was in her sleep, suddenly shivered and finally showed signs of waking up.

But at this moment, Song Tao had no time to pay attention to Jiang Yi. He was shocked by the scene he had detected with his divine sense. He even turned his head and closed his eyes to adjust his gaze in disbelief, then turned his head again, increased the output of his divine sense, and looked at it again.

You read that right, this area at the entrance to the Sword Tomb...

empty!

The jagged rock face, once strewn with broken swords, is now bare. The surging torrent of sword intent and the distorted illusions of vegetation have all vanished, and even the dissipated sword energy has disappeared without a trace, as if it had been thoroughly 'licked clean' by some force.

Song Tao was shocked. What had happened?
Shifting his gaze a hundred feet deeper, Song Tao finally saw again the bizarre and fantastical world constructed from sword intent.

Zhaoming was seen wielding the Yaoling Sword, locked in combat with a magnificent tiger formed from sword intent.

But it's okay if you don't look, because you'll be shocked when you do.

In just one month, Zhaoming's swordplay has undergone a complete transformation.

Although it was still a jumbled mess of sword techniques learned from various places, every sword strike Zhaoming unleashed generated a domineering and sharp aura that 'surpassed all laws'.

Where the sword's edge passed, the void seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, and the sword light would hide and then suddenly reappear in an unpredictable location.

This is precisely the core characteristic of the Lingxu Sword Intent: "taking emptiness as its essence and 'suspension' as its application!"

It's simply unbelievable that a sword could comprehend the Soaring Void Sword Intent!
Just then, Jiang Yi stretched and sat up.

Song Tao looked down and was surprised to find that Jiang Yi's spiritual energy was thick and refined. His progress in the past month could be described as rapid as a thousand miles a day, several times faster than those sword cultivators in the sect who cultivated hard every day and had extraordinary talent.

What kind of magical cultivation technique is she practicing? Song Tao was actually a little envious at this moment.

Moreover, the moment Jiang Yi awoke, Song Tao sensed from her a feeling as if she had forged ten thousand kinds of sword intent, with a sharpness emanating from her very marrow, like a peerless weapon hidden in an invisible scabbard that had inadvertently revealed its edge.

But in an instant, this aura receded into Jiang Yi's body like a receding tide, and another lazy and relaxed aura permeated her body.

Song Tao suddenly remembered that when he first met Jiang Yi, he was attracted by this aura, which made him feel a jolt in his heart. It was the keen sensitivity of a Nascent Soul cultivator to the laws of heaven that was being touched.

But in that instant, Song Tao could no longer feel anything else. That time, he just felt that Jiang Yi was 'attractive' to him and didn't think much of it.

But when Song Tao sensed that aura again, he suddenly realized that the aura had always been present on Jiang Yi, and that he himself was not qualified to detect it clearly.

Realizing this, Song Tao was filled with shock and disbelief.

Has this seemingly incredibly lazy little girl truly reached the threshold of the 'Great Way'?

Song Tao's heart pounded, and a strange shiver crept up his spine.

Or... should he go back to sleep for a few months and see?
Jiang Yi had just woken up and was at her most vulnerable when she suddenly saw Songtao Sword Master like a ghost, his face shrouded in shadow with bright eyes. She was so frightened that she jumped up from the ground and couldn't help but curse.

To everyone's surprise, Sword Master Songtao wasn't angry; instead, he gave her an approving smile.

"very good."

"continue!"

After saying that, Sword Master Songtao left, leaving Sword Master Jueying and Jiang Yi looking completely bewildered.

　See you tomorrow~
