His blue robes fluttered in the air as Ye Chen took out his Star Scar Sword. The second he did so, his Green Lotus Zhen yuan had already started to burn fiercely. A pure blue fire wave exploded, bringing up a light pattern in the surreal space. This kind of power was normally only available to Mid Astral Reaching Realm warriors.
Shoo!
Taking out his sword, Ye Chen threw out a sword attack towards his opponent.
Within that blue sword light was a majestic Green Lotus, which seemed to support the sky while its roots pierced into the ground. The sword light sliced down heavily with an unstoppable momentum. It was indeed the most aggressive ace attack of the Green Lotus Sword Arts – Green Lotus Mountain Opening.
The ground cracked open, and the person who had thrown out the sword attack was shocked. He was obviously the one who had thrown out the first attack, so how did his opponent get there first? Plus, that sword light contained an unimaginable power. Facing it, he felt like he was about to be torn apart, which made his scalp go numb.
"Seal it!"
As the sword was about to land, the person changed his sword movement, trying to block out Ye Chen's sword light.
Boom!
A thick layer of the ground was shaved off. That sword artist's feet rubbed against the ground as he was blown away, puking out a huge mouthful of blood.
The Star Scar Sword created a sword flower in the surreal space, cutting through the air. The poetic perspective was horrifying. Ye Chen's gaze landed on the other five, "This is the holy land for sword artists. I do not want to kill you all. Back off."
"Yes, yes!"
The five saw that even the most powerful among them could not handle one sword attack from Ye Chen, so they did not dare to stay any longer. In a battle between sword artists, life and death was only a matter of a few attacks.
As for that sword artist who had been beaten back by Ye Chen, he also did not dare to challenge him again, so he quickly left the place. He had been wounded quite badly, and would need some time to heal up. Otherwise, it would be hard for him to fight against the sword intent leaking out of the crack.
"Thank you!" The female sword artist closed her slightly opened mouth and thanked him.
Putting his sword back into its scabbard, Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "This is my first time here, so I would like to thank you for telling me some common sense."
"These are just small things. No need to thank me."
"Alright, you be careful. I still need to collect more Sword-shaped Plants." Although four sword-shaped plants could help him reach ninety percent sword intent, but Ye Chen planned to accumulate enough sword-shaped plants all at once. Plus, the sword intent that leaked out from the crack was not completely useless. The messy information of the sword intent would eventually be sorted out, and he might have to rely on it to break through to the peak level sword intent in the future.
Returning to the two-kilometer area, Ye Chen pushed the matter from his mind.
The middle-aged man, who was also in the two-mile area, felt lucky that he did not try to steal his Sword-shaped Plant earlier. Not only had his sword intent reached eighty percent, his battling power was also terrifyingly high. Being able to fight beyond his cultivation, he was probably not weaker than the elder, and might even be slightly stronger than him.
The elder chuckled and gave up on the idea of stealing the plant. He would have plenty of chances to get more sword-shaped plants in the future, so there was no need to risk his life for it. It was not worth it.
Ye Chen did not know what the others were thinking, and even if he did, he would not care. It was not because he was arrogant, but even without his martial arts and sword arts, his sword intent was still not something they could compete with, because they did not have the Battle King's sword, and their comprehensive abilities were not as good as his either. Although they were both eighty percent sword intent, Ye Chen's sword intent contained the immortal mentality, which was an insurmountable advantage. It was also the foundation for him to survive.
"With the Battle King's sword, I would be able to use at least ten times more efficiently than these people. What a shame." It was not that Ye Chen did not have the thought of stealing the plant, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up. He was not a demonic man, who would rather sacrifice others to strengthen himself. Therefore, there would be no difference between him and the other six people. If he wanted to be powerful, he would have to be powerful in an upright way, and not let his sword intent be covered by dust. His sword intent was a vast sword intent, an indestructible sword intent.
Unknowingly, Ye Chen's sword intent had gotten firmer, and no evil could get through it.
The wind gradually weakened until it disappeared, and the ground returned to its original peace and quiet.
"Hehe, five plants should be enough. I will leave first." The elder could not wait any longer, and wanted to try to break through to the ninety percent sword intent. After all, he had already gotten two plants before, so it was not like he did not have the chance to break through to the ninety percent sword intent. Plus, with Ye Chen here, he did not know when he would be able to get more plants.
After the elder left, the two middle-aged men and the sword artists behind him were the ones who were excited.
Ye Chen did not care about anything, and just quietly trained his sword intent.
After ten days, the two middle-aged men left as well. Only Ye Chen was left in the two-mile area, and there were not many sword artists in the one-mile area.
Opening his eyes, Ye Chen thought to himself, 'During these ten days, there were two sword-shaped plants that flowed out of the stream, and I got both of them. In total, I have six sword-shaped plants, which should be enough for me to break through to the ninety percent sword intent. If I cannot, then it means that it is not the right time for me to break through yet, and the foundation of my sword intent would not be stable.' However, it was already enough for him to break through to the ninety percent sword intent. If he wanted to break through to the next level, it would be even harder. He would have to wait until he got all nine of them.
Ye Chen was very ambitious. This time, he not only wanted to break through to the ninety percent sword intent, but he also wanted to break through to the advanced level. Of course, the possibility was very low. Eighty percent to ninety percent was already hard enough, and from ninety percent to the advanced level, it would be even harder than from the beginner level to the ninety percent sword intent. If he really wanted to break through, even if Ye Chen had the Battle King's sword, he would need at least twenty to thirty sword-shaped plants. If it were someone else, it would be almost impossible for them to break through to the advanced level with just the sword-shaped plants, unless they were extremely talented in the sword arts, which meant that they were two or three times more talented than Ye Chen. Ye Chen had never heard of this kind of genius before.
Breaking through to the advanced level sword intent was Ye Chen's biggest goal. After that, he wanted to at least stabilize the ninety percent sword intent. After all, ninety nine percent was the advanced level, and the gap between the two was not small at all. If he wanted to do it all at once, then he would have more hope. If he did it intermittently, then he would lose a lot of inspiration.
After another ten days, Ye Chen got another sword-shaped plant.
The female sword artist was getting ready to leave. She was planning to say goodbye to Ye Chen, but seeing that he was still focused on his sword intent, she had to leave helplessly.
The next day, there was a rare wind in the crack. However, compared to last time, the wind was much weaker, and there were only three sword-shaped plants.
With three sword-shaped plants in his hand, Ye Chen had ten sword-shaped plants in his storage now.
"It is time to leave. I have to give the others some chances." The sword artists who came here mainly wanted to learn the Battle King's sword intent that had leaked out from the crack. The sword-shaped plants were an extra reward, but they could not get anything from it at all. Obviously, they were very frustrated. With ten sword-shaped plants, Ye Chen did not plan to occupy the two miles area anymore.
"He finally left. Luckily, I was able to hold on."
"Hehe, although the sword-shaped plants were an extra reward, if I could get one, then this trip would be worth it."
Seeing Ye Chen leave, everyone was overjoyed. Of course, some of the weaker sword artists were worried. Before, with Ye Chen there, those aggressive sword artists did not dare to push it too far. But, once Ye Chen left, those people would not be able to control their greed and try to take the plants.
In the end, this world had always been a survival of the fittest. The more powerful you were, the more people would respect you.
Three days after Ye Chen left, a group of unexpected guests showed up outside the crack.
"Have you seen this guy before?" The leader took out a portrait from his storage ring. The portrait was none other than Ye Chen.
"Yes, he just left three days ago."
The sword artist who was asked answered honestly. There were a lot of people on the other side, and the ones walking in the front were all Astral Reaching Realm warriors. More importantly, they were wearing the uniform of the rank 6 martial school, the Floating Mountain Martial School, which was not someone they could mess with. They could not help but wonder where Ye Chen came from, since he dared to go against the Floating Mountain Martial School.
The leader heard him and said with a cold voice, "Huh! He escaped again."
They were all under Daoist Jin Huang, who was the core master of the Floating Mountain Martial School. With one order, he could send out a lot of people. They were only one of the groups that were chasing after Ye Chen. This time, there were more than ten groups, and each group had two to three Astral Reaching Realm warriors. The biggest group even had a Late Astral Reaching Realm warrior, who was the assistant of Daoist Jin Huang.
Daoist Jin Huang's order was to send someone to inform him as soon as they got the news.
"Master Liu, don't worry. After messing with Master Jin Huang, this brat will die sooner or later."
The middle-aged man who was called Master Liu put away the portrait, "Of course. What kind of cultivation does Master Jin Huang have? Even if we give him five years, he would not be able to compete with Master Jin Huang. If he does not die now, he will die even more miserably in the future. Let's go."
…
In the mountains thousands of miles away from the Natural Moat Gorge …
Under the waterfall …
Ye Chen sat on a huge rock, staring at the six sword marks on the wall.
Among the six sword marks, two of them contained an unparalleled sword intent. The sword intent lingered for a long time, filling up the entire surreal space, making the air around it as sticky as water.
Ye Chen had been sitting there for ten days. During these ten days, he had used up six sword-shaped plants in total. The sword intent of one plant could stay in the surreal space for three days. However, Ye Chen was not satisfied yet. Before the sword intent had completely disappeared, another sword mark would appear, which kept the sword intent at its most intense level.
Woo!
At noon, the waterfall stopped for a second. The water splashed in the midair and did not fall down for a long time. The breeze around had disappeared as well, and it was dead silent.
Boom!
Invisibly, a wave of sword intent shot up into the sky, shooting up into the clouds.
"Ninety percent sword intent, done!"
Shaking off the dust on his body, Ye Chen stood up and opened his eyes. The surreal space was shaking, like a great sword that had been covered in dust for hundreds of years had just been pulled out of its scabbard, shocking the world.
The sword intent slowly disappeared as Ye Chen let out a breath full of sharp qi. He mumbled to himself, "Comprehending the sword intent by myself was just a pure sword intent. However, from the Battle King's sword intent, I could sense the immortal mentality. Compared to the eighty percent sword intent, the immortal mentality contained in the ninety percent sword intent had increased by five times. The others would never have thought that I could gain something like this."
There was only one Battle King's sword, and only that sword could trigger the immortal mentality in the Battle King's sword intent. It was Ye Chen's fortune, and no one else knew about it.
Ye Chen was confident that with the ninety percent sword intent, he would be able to compete with other people's completed sword intent. The immortal mentality was way too powerful, and did not belong to this realm at all. It was like a Life and Death Realm warrior, standing high above the rest and looking down on the world.
"With the increase of the sword intent, my cultivation is unbelievably stable. It should be because of my clear mind, without any dirt on me. Unfortunately, I do not have any pellets or spirit plants that could increase the cultivation of Astral Reaching Realm warriors. Otherwise, I would be able to reach the peak level of Early Astral Reaching Realm right now."
The sword intent on the sword mark had not disappeared yet, so Ye Chen took out another sword-shaped plant. It had been broken, and the sword intent contained in it was poured into the broken Battle King's sword. Ye Chen lifted up the sword and slashed out a new sword mark.
"Let's go all out and see what level I can reach with ninety percent sword intent." Ninety-nine percent was the completed sword intent. Even reaching ninety-one percent would be a huge improvement.
