You call this the way of the sword?

When Yang Qingfeng used the Daowen Scroll last time, he didn't know its specific value, but now it's hard to ignore it.

Unroll the scroll, and you'll find it filled with a flowing light, devoid of any words.

A sense of mystery and exorbitant cost washed over me.

"No wonder people say that spiritual practice is about cultivating the mind... You really can't bring yourself to eat a treasure worth two hundred million if you don't have the right mindset."

Yang Qingfeng muttered to himself, his voice trembling slightly.

Inside the Tian Ce Mansion, Lord Xia lowered his head and pursed his lips, like a primary school student being punished by the headmaster, his ears turning red from suppressing laughter.

Little did she know that, apart from the 400 million yuan she had spent on renting the house, the most extravagant thing Yang Qingfeng had ever done in his life was buying a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) at the Kongwu stronghold.

It cost him a full 100 silver coins, which made him feel bad for a long time, and he ate for almost half an hour.

Two hundred million now, if it were to be put into action, it would be gone in just a few minutes.

"Cultivation is so expensive, my family shouldn't be that poor..."

"Enough, they are all external possessions."

Yang Qingfeng, having reversed the Heavenly Gang, thought that with 50 million as a safety net, a mere 200 million was nothing to worry about.

Then, with a determined heart, he unleashed his magic power to activate the scroll.

In an instant, the scroll was filled with dazzling light, and after a few seconds of brilliance, a beam of light shot out.

Just like last time, the rosy light shone directly on Yang Qingfeng's brow, spreading a wonderful coolness.

This coolness instantly permeated my entire body and soul, eventually transforming into a kind of enlightenment that gradually flooded my mind.

Suddenly, a sandstorm raged in the instance, and dark clouds gathered.

The black sea of ​​clouds quickly took shape, then separated to the left and right, revealing the ancient sword domain behind it.

It's an anomaly!

The new skill triggered strange phenomena!

Yang Qingfeng was startled and quickly widened his eyes to look carefully.

Just like the scene I witnessed when I first asked the Dao, ten thousand swords were unleashed simultaneously in the Sword Domain, and countless swordsmen and sword cultivators rode the wind and waves in the sea of ​​swords, their swords pointing to the heavens.

If a formidable enemy descends, all the swords of this realm will be drawn.

Everything up to this point is exactly the same as when we first met. Then the scene changes, and other sword shadows appear behind the sea of ​​swords.

Sword shadows were as numerous as mountains, their light illuminating heaven and earth.

Before each sword mountain stands a swordsman, who stands in mid-air, pointing towards the heavens. The sword mountain then disperses into countless spiritual lights, transforming into another sea of ​​swords as it moves.

Every spark of light in the sea of ​​swords is a sword, vast and boundless, numbering in the billions!

"A spirit sword!?"

As Yang Qingfeng recognized the spirit sword, the scene collapsed and the strange phenomenon disappeared.

However, the magnificent scene still lingered in Yang Qingfeng's mind, especially the power of the spirit sword forming mountains and then turning into the sea, which had a strong aftereffect and continued to shock him.

Not only Yang Qingfeng, but Xia Zhu also frowned.

Through monitoring the copy, she also saw the anomaly, but the scene she saw was different.

What Xia Zhu saw was a desolate ancient battlefield. With her spiritual sense, she could naturally feel the lingering sword intent in the battlefield, and the feeling was particularly strong at first glance. She clearly sensed that there was something strange about this battlefield.

Unfortunately, she wasn't physically present, so she couldn't sense more information through the reflection. The strange phenomenon came and went quickly, and by the time she tried to move, it was too late.

"A strange style of swordsmanship..."

Xia Zhu glanced at Lü Yanliang and Liu Changge.

At this moment, the two were discussing how to catch the ghost, and neither of them asked about Yang Qingfeng's matter.

She shook her head inwardly, thinking that she couldn't count on these two wild things; they probably didn't even know what grade the child was in.

On the other side, Yang Qingfeng picked up the second scroll of the Dao Inquiry and couldn't wait to activate it.

However, no unusual phenomena occurred this time.

As a sudden realization flooded his mind and into his consciousness, Yang Qingfeng immediately felt that his connection with the sword soul had been strengthened considerably.

Without thinking too much, he opened the attribute panel to check the newly acquired skills.

[Summon Swordsman (Level 1)]

[Summon Swordsman: Consumes mana to summon a Rank 9 swordsman]

[Yin Deficiency Spiritual Sword Intent (Level 1)]

[Yin Xu Ling Sword Intent: Uses the sword intent within the domain as a shield, gathering it into a protective sword aura that can withstand damage equal to 10% of the sword master's cultivation level.]

Both skills are closely related to the Ancient Sword Domain, and one of them is a Taoist cultivation skill!

Two hundred million? Worth it!

Yang Qingfeng felt a surge of excitement and immediately began to try it.

Skill: Summon Swordsman.

As a crack tore open in front of him, a strange spiritual wind blew out from the crack.

The remnant souls within the domain answered the call and, upon their arrival, coalesced into a blue-white soul body.

The summoning process is the same as that of the Sword Soul, only the appearance is slightly different.

Sword Souls are mostly dressed in chivalrous robes with a rugged and tough appearance, while Spirit Sword Masters wear long robes and seem to exude a more refined and scholarly aura.

Driven by curiosity, Yang Qingfeng checked its attributes.

Ninth-Rank Swordsman

[Level: 1]

【Root bone: 10】

[Mana: 150]

Dexterity: 150

[Endurance: 10]

[Skill: Sky-Walking Sword Technique]

【Xingtianyi Sword Technique: Using the body as a sheath, drawing upon the souls of heaven and earth as swords, achieving oneness between man and sword, dealing damage equal to 110% of the target's maximum mana. Currently, it can hold 0/1 soul swords.】

"To gather the souls of heaven and earth into a sword..."

Yang Qingfeng subconsciously scanned the world, his gaze falling on the sword spirit yawning in the distance.

Driven by Yang Qingfeng's thoughts, the swordsman immediately activated his skill, pointing a finger from afar. The sword spirit that was pointed at turned into soul mist, drifted to the swordsman's side, and condensed into a soul spirit sword.

As the sword spirit disappeared, a space in the sword domain became empty.

died?

Yang Qingfeng pondered for a moment, sensing that the sword spirit had not truly died.

It works on the same principle as sword transformation; as long as the swordsman cancels the skill, the sword soul will return to the sword domain.

Thankfully, it was just a false alarm.

Although it is his own summoned creature, the sword spirit is clearly sentient, and the sword spirit deserves the greatest credit for his current combat power.

If possible, Yang Qingfeng did not want to sacrifice any of the sword spirits, but since they would not actually die, it made no difference to them whether they became spirit swords or soul swords.

After thinking it through, Yang Qingfeng focused on swordsmen and began to consider different troop types in his mind.

The swordsman's primary attribute is mana, making them a magic-based summon.

Based on the phenomena observed, a true swordsman can control his sword to form mountains, indicating that after upgrading, he will be able to control more soul swords, which requires the sacrifice of a large number of sword souls.

Fortunately, the Sword Soul is an innate skill, and it is summoned at max level, so there is no fear of consumption.

However, magic-based characters are fragile; just look at their level 1 stats to see that the swordsman's defense is pitifully weak.

"We still need to prioritize the Sword Soul."

"The Sword Master draws aggro, then the Swordsman deals ranged damage."

A specific image flashed through Yang Qingfeng's mind.

A fully-level swordsman can wield dozens of Soul Swords, forming a melee and ranged attack system in combination with the Sword Soul. This greatly enhances their overall agility, lethality, and attack speed.

The swordsman's multiple sword control techniques were clearly superior to his, the sword master's.

Hundreds of Soul Swords attacking simultaneously, while not necessarily capable of slaying gods and Buddhas, would at least be no weaker than Spirit Swords in terms of damage.

At that point, I'll just be sitting on the sidelines, and all that spirit sword and sword explosion will just be superfluous, just adding supernatural powers to the hands-off manager.

"Even the remaining remnant soul is this monstrous..."

"Strange, you guys should have been even stronger back then, how come you were wiped out too?"

Yang Qingfeng suddenly thought of this problem.

Who exactly destroyed the Sword Domain?

If the Ancient Sword Domain is considered a battlefield, then the sword spirits and sword masters at the forefront are definitely just vanguards; they may be able to summon even more powerful beings in the future.

The question is, who destroyed such a powerful sword domain?

And it seems they are completely extinct?

Who is that enemy from beyond the sky?

Unwittingly, Yang Qingfeng realized the strangeness behind the Sword Domain, and this strangeness was terrifying upon closer examination.

If one day, the one who destroyed the Sword Domain comes to the mortal world…

The thought had barely formed in his mind when Yang Qingfeng shook his head, quickly banishing it.

This was clearly not something he should be concerned about. In any case, if the sky were to fall, the tallest person would be the first to die. If even the pillars of the state couldn't withstand it, he didn't need to worry unnecessarily.

"First, let's figure out a way to raise your levels..."

Looking at the swordsman in front of him, Yang Qingfeng was immediately at a loss.

Like the Sword Burst, the swordsman's level also needs to be improved in actual combat, and they need to consume sword souls, requiring them to provide a large amount of mana.

A place where they can level up and where he can quickly recover his mana... Yang Qingfeng looked around at the world, and suddenly an idea popped into his head!
