I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 410 Emerging from Seclusion (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Lingxu Sword Sect, Sword Tomb in the back mountain.

Time stands still in the cave. Jiang Yi didn't even bother to keep track of the time. No one called her out, so she just stayed there. Not only was the sword intent abundant in the sword tomb, but the spiritual energy was also much richer than anywhere else. Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to maintain such a large sword tomb.

She acted as she pleased, sleeping when she was tired, and when she woke up, she would go to the Immortal Ferry to play the zither, tame the newly acquired sword intent in the Sword Nurturing Gourd, help purify the broken swords, and then release them.

When the mood strikes, she will wield two swords alone and personally plunge into that forest of sword intent to fight.

With a carefree mind, both victory and defeat are enjoyable.

Zhen Shan Duan Jin and Zhao Ming Yao Ling are the same; they can freely enter and exit You Xian Du and hone their skills and martial arts with the sword intent in the cave according to their own rhythm each day.

When they couldn't win, they would lure the pursuing sword intent to Jiang Yi's sleeping side, and the sword intent would often come to an abrupt halt, retreating while cursing.

After a few days of training, when they got tired, they would quietly cultivate by Jiang Yi's side for a few days. The lazy aura surrounding Jiang Yi when she slept allowed the aptitude of the Zhenshan and Duanjin demon seeds to steadily improve.

Furthermore, under such intense training at the Sword Tomb, the techniques cultivated by Zhen Shan Duan Jin all progressed rapidly.

Besides the "Xuanhuang Scripture", Zhenshan's "Nine Mountains Collapse Fist" has integrated the first three levels with his own magic. Duanjin learned the "Dragon Whip Technique" that Jiang Yi gave her, and also incorporated what she had learned from fighting against various sword intents into the puppets. He took some broken swords from the Sword Tomb and made a new batch of sword puppets.

Needless to say, Zhaoming and Yaoling's improvement is even more remarkable. Zhaoming is a sword fanatic, and Yaoling is a battle maniac; the two complement each other perfectly.

Zhaoming broke through ten thousand swords and learned ten thousand swords. With the Tongming Sword Heart, he created his own unique and unpredictable moves, which can accommodate the changes of all things and break the limits of all laws. This is the core essence of the "Lingxu Sword Intent".

Yao Ling killed and killed, increasing his ferocity and malevolence. He also forcibly absorbed a lot of fire-type sword intent and integrated it into his 'Fire Phoenix Sword Intent'. It really had a feeling of 'a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix'. Moreover, the fire phoenix had begun to take shape, no longer just an outline, but becoming lifelike.

In terms of cultivation, Zhenshan Duanjin and Zhaoming have both reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. Yaoling is not a true demon spirit and has no cultivation level, but when combined with Zhaoming, its strength can reach the late-stage of the Golden Core realm.

As for Jiang Yi, he was sleeping and cultivating at a leisurely pace, and he was still in the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

However, her situation was rather special. She skipped the Void Core Realm and entered the second stage of the Golden Core Realm, the Solid Core Realm, after initially forming a Heavenly Grade Golden Core. Her cultivation level in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm was no worse than that of an ordinary mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

During her years of cultivation, Jiang Yi also discovered that she had indeed skipped the Void Core Realm and was naturally striving to break through to the third Golden Core Realm, the Gathering Law Realm, which is something that ordinary Golden Core cultivators need to master in the later stages of the Golden Core Realm.

The transition from the Solid Core Realm to the Gathering Law Realm is a transformation from True Essence to Mana. Some mid-stage Golden Core cultivators, if they lack sufficient opportunity and comprehension, may never comprehend the power of the laws and be unable to cross this threshold in their entire lives.

Jiang Yi is currently on the threshold. As long as she can grasp any one of the laws between heaven and earth, she will naturally reach the Gathering Law Realm.

Unfortunately, the path of freedom she cultivates is not the same as the path of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) that other cultivators pursue for power. She has no clue what the laws of freedom are.

Zhu Xin Jian once said that once she reached the Gathering Law Realm, she could try to refine the five great demon spirits into the living array core of the Sword Nourishing Gourd, and then turn the Sword Nourishing Gourd into her natal magic weapon.

At that time, she will no longer need to cultivate any Five Elements techniques. She only needs to focus on the Sleeping Immortal Technique. The Five Elements techniques will be cultivated by the five great demon spirits, which will naturally balance the Five Elements power in her body and no longer be restricted by her spiritual root.

This also laid the foundation for her future Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation.

Before that, she needed to prepare advancement materials for Zhenshan Duanjin and Huagu.

Besides that, Jiang Yi is now very curious about something. Her mid-stage Golden Core realm is the Gathering Law Realm of other late-stage Golden Core cultivators, and her late-stage Golden Core realm is the True Golden Core Realm of other peak-stage Golden Core cultivators. So what does she cultivate at the peak of the Golden Core realm?
The future formation of a Heavenly Grade Golden Core cultivator's Nascent Soul is definitely different from that of an ordinary Golden Core cultivator. Bei Xuan has no record of this, so she needs to ask Zhu Xin to find some reference materials for her in advance.

That day, Jiang Yi was asleep when she felt herself being locked onto by a force. She opened her eyes and, sure enough, saw the Songtao Sword Master standing expressionlessly behind her, with the Jueying Sword Lord beside him scanning the Sword Tomb with a shocked expression.

Without Jueying, Songtao would have difficulty communicating with others.

After scanning the area, Jueying's voice changed, "Master... Uncle! Is this what our sect's Sword Tomb is like? Just like this... plain and unremarkable? Bare?" What Jueying saw was completely different from the Sword Tomb he had imagined.

When Song Tao brought Jueying in today on the sect leader's orders, he thought Jueying had gone to the wrong place when he saw the scene inside the Sword Tomb.

The once vibrant yet deadly Sword Intent Forest has vanished without a trace. All that remains are jagged black rock walls and the silent broken swords and blades on them.

Even the number of broken swords was visibly reduced, and the entire area exuded a sense of emptiness after purification, along with a strange vitality.

The Sword Tomb in Songtao's mind was like a gathering place for a bunch of unruly and temperamental "bratty kids". No matter who came in, these "bratty kids" would gather together and attack him, whether they could beat him or not, until they were dead.

Now, all the broken swords have become much more docile, devoid of their violent aura, and have become 'well-behaved babies' that can be easily tamed.

What shocked Song Tao even more was that the concentration of spiritual energy inside the Sword Tomb, which was originally so dense that it seemed to solidify and had a sharp, piercing sensation, had become significantly thinner.

"no!"

Songtao managed to utter two words in response to Jueying's question, his gaze lingering deeper into the distance.

Deeper inside, where various sword domains intersect, a boundary line has been cleared out between the outer sword intent forest and the surrounding area.

Jiang Yi only cleared away the sword intent forest that Golden Core stage sword cultivators could handle, but did not step into the sword domain that only Nascent Soul stage sword cultivators could handle.

"Be cautious," Songtao whispered.

Jueying was bewildered, unable to discern whether it was praise or sarcasm.

Song Tao's gaze slowly shifted from the empty boundary line to Jiang Yi, who was stretching and waking up.

ten years!

She actually stayed here for a full ten years, not only unharmed and lively, but even...slept quite soundly.

She's not here to be tested or challenged.
They're clearly here to carry out demolitions, fleece people, and incidentally occupy land to sleep on.

"Disciple Jiang Heying greets Sword Master and Martial Uncle."

Jiang Yi stood up and bowed respectfully.

Songtao gestured to Jueying with his eyes. Just as Jueying was about to ask Jiang Yi why he had made such a mess of the Sword Tomb, Jiang Yi let a document "accidentally" fall out of his sleeve as he lowered his hand.

Jueying's eyes twitched when he saw the document, and all the words stuck in his throat.

He deeply regretted why he had made a written agreement with Jiang Yi in the first place, and now he was too embarrassed to bring it up again.

Jiang Yi put away the two stone lions and two swords beside her, rolled them up in a bamboo mat, and then asked innocently, "Are you here to take me out?"

Jueying took a breath and changed the subject.

"Have you encountered Chonghe Daojun during your years here?"

Song Tao cast an expectant gaze over. No one knew where Chonghe Daojun was, but since the old man was able to leave behind a 'trial token,' he must have made some arrangements within the Sword Tomb.
