Chapter 707: Sword Inquiry of Intent

:

Ming Tai looked at Lu Yang with increasing admiration. His own Sword Heart was already rare in the world; he hadn't expected Senior Brother Lu Yang's feelings for the sword to be even above his own.

I fear that throughout history, even counting the mysterious ancient period, and counting the Zither-Sword Venerable of the ancient period, none were like Senior Brother Lu Yang.

The only uncertainty was the Qilin Immortal. It is said that the Qilin Immortal used a sword, but it is unknown whether it was purely using the sword as a weapon or as a sword cultivator.

If the Qilin Immortal was a sword cultivator, it is unknown whose Sword Heart was superior, Senior Brother Lu Yang's or the Qilin Immortal's.

To be able to cultivate into an immortal, one must have unique understandings of the sword dao and Sword Heart.

"This Sword Heart is the first in eternity." Someone muttered in a low voice, immediately receiving echoes from many people.

"Lu Yang's Sword Heart is the first in eternity!"

"The sword is the monarch, Lu Yang is the subject; the Sword Heart is the first in eternity!"

Even the Sword Tower Elders cast admiring glances at Lu Yang, feeling that Lu Yang, based on this Sword Heart alone, was enough to be remembered for eternity and become a role model for all future sword cultivators.

The slogans were different, but they were all much the same, forming a momentum like a mountain collapse or a tsunami. Lu Yang, embarrassed, lowered his head, his toes curling in his shoes.

It felt as if everyone was shouting that he was a subject of the Immortal Fairy.

Lu Yang regretted participating in the Sword Inquiry Ceremony. He didn't really need to find a reason to come out and wander; staying in the Congwendao Sect was quite good.

Yun Mengmeng didn't understand the sword dao very well, but from the crowd's reaction, she could see that Lu Yang's Sword Heart was definitely very powerful, so she felt a bit proud.

"Found a good teacher for Little Miss Yun Zhi."

"The old woman was still worried that I would have an accident outside. With my luck, how could an accident happen?"

With Lu Yang, the first Sword Heart in eternity, ahead, any other sword cultivator's answer paled in comparison and had absolutely no comparability to Lu Yang's.

"See that? Thanks to this Immortal's help, your Sword Heart is so powerful, Little Yangzi." Lu Yang ignored the shameless credit-seeking of the sword spirit.

"The Sword Inquiry of the Heart has completely ended. I think which sword cultivator's Sword Heart is the most admirable, even without me saying, you all should know." The Sword Tower Master laughed, his gaze falling intentionally or unintentionally on Lu Yang. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat the Unspoken Daoist, he would have wanted to snatch Lu Yang over to be his own disciple.

But then again, it is said that Miss Yun Zhi treasures this little junior brother very much; it seems that even if he could beat the Unspoken Daoist, he couldn't beat Miss Yun Zhi.

Forget it, Lu Yang staying in the Congwendao Sect was quite good.

"Next, we begin the Sword Inquiry of Intent."

The Sword Inquiry Ceremony is held once every hundred years. If it were a one-on-one battle with sword techniques, the person who had practiced the longest would definitely win, and there would be no point in fighting.

For this reason, the Sword Tower Supreme proposed that everyone's cultivation could be suppressed to the same level, competing with pure sword intent.

Lu Yang felt an astonishing pressure, overwhelming, covering the entire venue, suppressing the realm of everyone, including himself, to the Golden Core stage.

Then the earth shook, and eighteen platforms broke through the soil, surrounding the Sword Tower.

Tower Master Guan introduced: "These eighteen platforms were forged by the first Tower Master. You only need to place a sword qi on the platform, and the sword qi will evolve into a sword intent figure. You can control the sword intent figure to fight."

"This is the legendary Sword Intent Platform?" The sword cultivators saw the eighteen platforms that were as smooth as copper mirrors, their eyes glowing.

This was a supreme treasure left by the Sword Tower Supreme. If one practiced on it for a long time, one could polish one's sword intent, making it sharper.

It was Lu Yang's first time seeing this thing. Listening to the people next to him discussing it, he also roughly knew how amazing this Sword Intent Platform was.

Lu Yang drew lots and got the second group, so he had to wait for the first group's match to finish before it was his turn.

Lu Yang remembered the few cultivators Ming Tai introduced that needed special attention. In the first group, there was the Xuanwu clan's Xuan Xuan, who had been introduced before.

Xuan Xuan carried a thick and wide black sword on his back, with a small turtle drawn on the hilt, giving people a feeling of the earth shaking and mountains moving as he walked.

Lu Yang had also seen Xuan Xuan's opponent; it was an octopus with eight swords wrapped in its tentacles.

"Wu Er, didn't expect to run into you here." Xuan Xuan laughed, revealing eight white teeth.

He and the octopus were both sword cultivators from the East Sea. The two of them had only heard of each other's names and had never fought.

"Xuan Xuan, they all say my sword dao is not as good as yours. I've never found an opportunity before, but today I will break that rumor!"

"What rumor? It's just them telling the truth. How could you compare to me!"

Wu Er attacked first, his tentacles wrapping around the eight swords, spinning crazily. The speed was extremely fast, airtight. People who had sparred with him before the ceremony started couldn't attack his main body.

Xuan Xuan shouted, lifting the thick black sword with all his might, and swung it at the octopus Wu Er.

Clang—

This sword strike wouldn't end well for any sword cultivator, but landing on Wu Er, it was directly swept away by the eight rapidly spinning swords.

"Indeed, there's some skill to it." Xuan Xuan became interested. Sword cultivators are all known for their offensive power, but Wu Er did the opposite, changing to defensive power.

"Isn't it just spinning? Who can't do that!" Xuan Xuan returned to his original form, becoming a Xuanwu with a turtle back and snake body, flipped his body over, and the raised part of the turtle back touched the ground.

He retracted his head into the turtle shell, bit the sword hilt with his mouth, and poked the ground with his tail, making his body spin.

As the speed and force of his tail poking the ground increased, Xuan Xuan's rotation speed also became faster and faster, until it was so fast that one couldn't see where the head was or where the tail was.

Xuan Xuan used his tail to accelerate and adjust direction, crashing into Wu Er, directly flipping Wu Er over.

Wu Er also got angry. He had been invincible using this move, and this was the first time he had been knocked down.

"I'm not afraid of you!"

The two sea clan members spun and collided on the platform like iron tops. If one side was knocked away, they would muster their strength and crash back.

Lu Yang watched Xuan Xuan and Wu Er with admiration. He didn't expect to see a combined combat technique here.

It's just that these two sea clan members were even more powerful; they didn't need to combine, they could spin by themselves, which was much more convenient to use.

Seeing that the two iron tops couldn't decide a winner for a while, Lu Yang circled the Sword Tower to see what the other platforms were like.

"Little Feng, you, how are you here!" One of the sword cultivators saw his opponent's appearance and name, his face full of horror.

The person named Little Feng smiled, smiling very stiffly: "Brother Lin, I said long ago that we would definitely meet again. Don't think that just because you changed your name and surname, I wouldn't be able to find you. You would definitely participate in this once-in-a-hundred-year Sword Inquiry Ceremony!"

"Blood feuds can only be repaid with blood. Today, let us decide life and death on this platform!"

"Eldest Senior Brother, didn't expect us to meet on the platform. Do you remember our agreement? Whoever wins has the qualification to confess to the Little Junior Sister!"

"Second Junior Brother, who the Little Junior Sister likes is her business. Don't use the victory or defeat between you and me to decide her marriage!"

"Enough talk, let's fight!"

"Big Brother, twenty years ago you stole my spiritual root and pushed me off a cliff. Didn't expect me to still be alive, did you!"

"So what if you're still alive? You're just a piece of trash without a spiritual root. How could you possibly beat me!"

"Hehe, you probably will never be able to understand the phrase 'breaking and then establishing'!"

Lu Yang: "..."

You guys really didn't tamper with the drawing of lots for opponents in the Sword Tower, did you?
