Getting a Sugar Mommy in Cultivation World!!

Discarding all distracting thoughts, Noah took a step forward. As he moved, he did not feel anything pushing him back, but he could feel the intensity of the sword intent under his feet increasing.

His speed was neither fast nor slow, and he did not face any difficulties as he moved forward.

Very soon, he arrived at the very first milestone, the same point where he condensed his sword dao and found his reason for holding the sword.

Stopping at the point, Noah started to reminisce about the past before looking around for a second.

Seeing everyone walking forward, trying to catch up to the person ahead of them, Noah shook his head before continuing forward.

He did not find any meaning in catching up to someone else or trying to surpass them, even if they were comprehending the same sword dao.

If they focused that time and heart on comprehending the meaning of their journey, they might eventually leave that person behind.

After crossing the milestone, Noah felt a significant increase in the force under his feet. Curious about the sudden change, Noah tried to look through the water under his feet.

Unfortunately, as soon as he did that, a severe pain shot through his consciousness. He hurriedly looked away from the water and raised his head. 'That was close. The pain would have caused me to leave this place. Well, this was to be expected when people from the immortal realm also come to this place to cultivate.'

Regaining his bearings, Noah continued his journey, aiming to reach the next milestone.

"This place is really wonderful." Soon Noah lost all sense of time and surroundings. All of his attention was focused on moving forward.

By the time he snapped out of this ethereal feeling, he realized that he was already close to crossing the next milestone.

Instead of moving forward, Noah paused in his tracks and closed his eyes. 'So that's the real sword intent.'

*Woosh!*

Suddenly, his aura changed. The sword energy radiating from his body vanished as he took a step forward.

One step after another, his speed gradually increased as Noah moved past the next milestone, but he did not bother to stop.

Unstoppable by another surge of increased power from the river, he moved as if nothing could stop him.

It was only after he crossed the next milestone that his steps started to slow down before he came to a stop.

…

"What's happening, Father? Why did he stop?" Standing far away from him, two shadows looked at Noah, their appearance unknown.

They were the same father and daughter pair that had stopped him when he arrived in this place.

"That is the limit, after all…" the old man sighed with complex emotions. Even after bidding farewell to Noah, they secretly started watching over him.

"The limit? You mean he doesn't have a sword heart?!" Her voice sounded shocked before a sigh came out of her mouth. "It is already absurd that a mere golden core realm mortal was able to capture the essence of sword intent to the limit of Soul Phase without even having a sword heart."

The woman also showed some hint of emotion in her voice before saying, "We should recruit him before some other force discovers him. We cannot let a talent like that rise unobserved."

For the first time, the woman's voice turned so cold that her previous warm demeanor appeared to be nothing but an illusion.

"I would love to do that as well, but you know how this place is, and he doesn't seem interested in revealing his identity." The old man shrugged, not minding the change in her nature as if it were completely normal.

Hearing her father's words, the woman did not say anything for a while until, "Should we reveal our background to him and use that to lure him towards our force?"

"Let's not be hasty. We don't want to appear overbearing and scare him." The old man chuckled before shaking his shadowy head.

"Why do you want to wait? Since he doesn't have a sword heart, that means he is not being guided by a sword master, and it is a good opportunity to take him in."

"Without a master, he managed to gain such achievements in such a short time."

She tried to argue, but no matter how much she tried to make her point, she did not get any response from the man.

In the end, she could only give up.

"I hope you know what you are doing. Now that the Xin clan is being suppressed by the Mao family, it is the perfect time for us to make a move."

The old man hummed in response and kept on looking at Noah, who did not move from his spot.

Seeing the lack of response, the woman shook her head before following suit.

…

'Why does it feel like I cannot take the next step?' Noah narrowed his eyes. Unable to move forward, Noah thought that he would need to comprehend the feeling he was getting from the water under his feet.

That's what he had been doing all this time. Every time he took a step forward, he had to use a sword intent similar to or stronger than the one emitting under his feet.

'Maybe there is some condition that I am overlooking. I should ask Xin Yan about this.' Thinking of this, Noah sighed out loud and willed his body to leave this place. 'I wonder how much time has passed.'

Opening his eyes, Noah appeared a little dejected, finding out that he was alone in the pagoda.

'It's time to leave anyway. I can see them soon.' Noah stood up from his place and disappeared without leaving a trace.

Reappearing in his room, Noah spread his soul sense throughout the sect and found the location of the two people he was looking for.

But he did not immediately leave to find them and once again sat down in a meditation position. He wanted to absorb the gains he received in the sword realm.

'Maybe I can infuse them with my sword technique.' Feeling a little expectant about the changes that might bring to his dawn series, Noah closed his eyes and immersed himself in cultivation.
