Chapter 652: with translation of chapter title

652. Chapter 650: This trial is called 'Sword Intent Comprehension'.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes firm as he said, 'No matter how great the risk, I must go to the Lingxiao Sect to find the Nine Heavens Sword Classic!'

After discussion, everyone decided to set out immediately for the Lingxiao Sect.

Together they left the Lei Huo Dan Ge and embarked on the road to the Lingxiao Sect.

After several days, they finally arrived at the Lingxiao Sect.

The entire sect towered majestically among the mountains, exuding an immensely powerful spiritual aura.

"This place truly lives up to its reputation," Mo Di exclaimed in admiration.

Lu Yuan gripped the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword tightly, showing his determination: 'Since we've come, we must obtain the Nine Heavens Sword Classic to give myself a chance to break through.'

Everyone passed through layer after layer of defenses and arrived before the Sword Pavilion.

Inside the Sword Pavilion, a mysterious atmosphere prevailed, displaying various rare magical swords and sword technique manuals.

Just as they were about to search for the Nine Heavens Sword Classic, a cultivator dressed in green robes stepped out.

"Are you here to seek the Nine Heavens Sword Classic?"

The cultivator wore a smile, his voice pleasant and moving.

Lu Yuan looked at her in surprise, 'Are you a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect?'

The cultivator nodded: 'Exactly, I'm Xuanji, and I'm in charge of guarding the scriptures here.'

Hearing Xuanji's words, Lu Yuan relaxed: 'We came specially to seek the Nine Heavens Sword Classic; may we borrow it for a look?'

Xuanji smiled and said, 'Of course, but you must pass a trial to be granted permission.'

Zi Xi'er asked curiously, 'May I ask what this trial entails?'

Xuanji gave Lu Yuan a deep look, her eyes showing anticipation and challenge: 'This trial is called Sword Intent Comprehension.'

Mo Di and Zi Xi'er exchanged a glance, knowing it would not be easy.

Only Lu Yuan furrowed his brow, appearing very confident.

Next, Lu Yuan faced a severe trial.

He entered a tranquil sword pool, where countless dancing sword lights appeared before his eyes.

Within those sword lights lay complex and profound sword intent.

Lu Yuan focused entirely on sensing these sword intents; sharp sword qi surged like a raging torrent, he struggled to dodge while merging himself with the sword intent.

Days passed, Lu Yuan sweated profusely, yet he showed no sign of retreat.

He firmly believed that only by overcoming this trial could he obtain the Nine Heavens Sword Classic.

Suddenly, in a gap of his dodging, he seemed to understand something.

"It turns out this trial isn't about whether I can defeat these sword intents, but about finding what I truly want amidst the chaos."

A glimmer of enlightenment arose in Lu Yuan's heart.

Immediately after, a soft 'hum' sounded, a special vibration rippling around him; Lu Yuan felt the air as if it had solidified.

Everyone witnessed this scene, and their hope that Lu Yuan could pass the trial surged anew.

Finally, when his true essence flowed like a sea within him and sword intent condensed onto the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword in his hand, he seemed to merge with the brilliant sword intent contained in the Nine Heavens Sword Classic.

Those nearby watched as Lu Yuan's entire body emanated an immensely powerful aura.

"It seems he has passed the trial," Xuanji said, nodding with a smile.

Zi Xi'er and Mo Di looked at Lu Yuan, their hearts full of joy.

They knew this breakthrough would make Lu Yuan even stronger, invincible under heaven.

Finally, amidst a golden light, Lu Yuan emerged.

His aura settled like a mountain, unmoving.

"Congratulations on passing the trial."

Xuanji bowed to Lu Yuan, 'Now you are qualified to borrow the Nine Heavens Sword Classic.'

Upon hearing this, everyone felt relieved for their hard efforts.

Enthusiastic applause rang out.

Lu Yuan sensed his power breaking through, his heart filled with joy and satisfaction.

He couldn't help but recall his master Supreme Dao Ancestor's teachings: even with greatly increased strength, one must not become arrogant or complacent.

At this moment, receiving a letter from the Lingxiao Sect, Lu Yuan accepted it with a humble attitude.

Mo Di curiously asked, 'Lu Yuan, the Lingxiao Sect is a major school that equally values martial arts and immortal methods; why would they send you a letter?'

Lu Yuan opened the envelope to find, besides a copy of the Nine Heavens Sword Classic, also an explanatory letter.

After reading it carefully, he wore a thoughtful expression.

"It seems the Nine Heavens Sword Classic is no longer in the Sword Pavilion."

Lu Yuan handed the letter to everyone to read.

"They said it has been moved to a more secret place—Yunyin Peak."

"Yunyin Peak?"

"If that's the case, let's go to Yunyin Peak," Mo Di said enthusiastically.

Lu Yuan gave Zi Xi'er a deep look and asked, 'Are you willing to take us to Yunyin Peak?'

Zi Xi'er nodded: 'Of course I am.'

Everyone decided to set out immediately, heading swiftly for Yunyin Peak.

They left the Lingxiao Sect and embarked on the road to Yunyin Peak.

On the road, Lu Yuan sighed with feeling: 'Having so many friends traveling with me now is truly fortunate.'

Su Liyan softly comforted him: 'Lu Yuan, you are not only powerful, but also possess excellent leadership abilities.'

"We all believe you can find the \"Nine Heavens Sword Scripture\"."

Finally, they arrived at Cloud Hidden Peak.

The entire mountain range towered majestically, exuding immortal aura in the sunlight.

"Lu Yuan, you've finally come."

Supreme Dao Ancestor stood before the gate of the Medicinal Mystery Chamber at the summit of Azure Peak, beckoning Lu Yuan to come inside.

Lu Yuan stepped into the Medicinal Mystery Chamber, and a faint fragrance assailed his nostrils, making him feel as if he were in an immortal realm.

Inside the Medicinal Mystery Chamber were filled with various rare medicinal herbs, alchemical equipment, immortal artifacts, and Fobao.

Every corner was meticulously arranged as a cultivation site, making it immediately clear that this was an ideal place for elementary medicinal Dao cultivation.

Supreme Dao Ancestor smiled as he walked toward Lu Yuan: "During this time you have also put in much effort at Lei Huo Dan Ge; now I hope you can focus on improving your medicinal Dao proficiency."

Lu Yuan felt somewhat reluctant, but he also understood Supreme Dao Ancestor's intention. He nodded in agreement: "Master, rest assured, I will surely exert my utmost to raise my cultivation."

Supreme Dao Ancestor looked at the little disciple's earnest expression and nodded in satisfaction.

Afterward he took an ancient book from his storage bag and handed it to Lu Yuan: "This is the Hidden Origin Secret imparted to you; it can help you conceal your true cultivation level, thereby avoiding unnecessary trouble."

Lu Yuan received the book, gripping it firmly, and a strong desire to learn and master it welled up in his heart.

Supreme Dao Ancestor continued: "Within the Medicinal Mystery Chamber there are various immortal herbs and fruits; you may freely take whatever you need."

"At the same time, I have already provided Lei Huo Dan Ge with three years of resource support, and additionally granted three extra years for your cultivation."

Lu Yuan felt immense gratitude for Supreme Dao Ancestor's generosity; he solemnly bowed to Supreme Dao Ancestor: "Master, under your protection, I will surely not disappoint your expectations."

Supreme Dao Ancestor smiled and waved: "All right, go on." (End of chapter)
