Chapter 114: Conforming to the Dao [Bonus chapter for 1,200 monthly tickets]
Further ahead lay a Sword Forest, dense with various swords, each containing immensely powerful and terrifying sword intent.
Lu Yi even suspected that these might be the personal swords of cultivators who had possessed powerful sword intent themselves, left here as a result.
Together with three Cave Void Realm sword Dao powerhouses, Lu Yi stepped deeper with each step, the surrounding sword intent pressure intensifying.
Even though the sword intent of the three Cave Void Cultivators was more than ninety percent, they gradually felt the pressure as well.
Yet, Lu Yi remained calm; his sword intent had already reached perfection, and even ninety percent of sword intent seemed trivial to him.
However, he could feel his own sword intent being stimulated by the sword intent on the Sword Tao Platform, as if gaining slight enlightenment.
This made Lu Yi somewhat excited as if reaching the core area of the Tao Sword Platform could genuinely help consolidate his domain in Sword Dao.
He and the three Cave Void Cultivators continued deeper, walking a short distance. The three Cave Void Cultivators furrowed their eyebrows, even though they, too, were now sweating from their foreheads.
The three glanced at Lu Yi who appeared calm, exchanged looks, and saw shock in each other's eyes.
The beautiful woman slowly spoke, "Young man, do you still have strength to spare?"
The other two Cave Void Cultivators also looked at Lu Yi, waiting for his reply.
Lu Yi, brought back to the moment, saw the three looking at him, and he smiled slightly, "Yes, I still have some energy left."
Originally, Lu Yi hadn't thought about hiding his abilities; after all, he hoped to perform well enough to be invited to contemplate the Dao beneath the Divine Sword Stele.
This opportunity was still very important for Lu Yi.
Hearing Lu Yi's confirmation, the three were astounded.
"Your sword intent... could it be that it has almost reached perfection?" The middle-aged man with a heroic demeanor asked in shock.
Lu Yi smiled, "Almost there."
"Hiss..." The three Cave Void Cultivators couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
The three exchanged looks, and then the other man with a scholarly appearance sighed, "It's unexpected that we are not even a match for a junior at the Golden Core Realm."
The beautiful woman and the middle-aged man also gave bitter smiles.
The woman shook her head and said, "I have reached my limit, polishing my own sword intent here."
"Hahaha, Fairy Yao, I will join you, it's been a long time, and it's a good opportunity to discuss the Dao," the heroic middle-aged man laughed.
The scholarly man also smiled, "Since that is the case, let's discuss the Dao together, then."
He turned to look at Lu Yi and smiled lightly, "Young man, what is your name?"
Lu Yi smiled, "My junior self is named Lu Yi."
"Lu Yi... a good name. We three cannot accompany you any further; let us see how far you can go," the scholarly man said, patting Lu Yi on the shoulder in a friendly manner.
Being a Cave Void Realm sword cultivator and mastering over ninety percent of sword intent, he naturally knew how terrifying Lu Yi's talent was, warranting this friendly treatment.
With Lu Yi's aptitude, forming a good relationship now might bring considerable rewards in the near future; this was an investment.
The behavior of the other two Cave Void Cultivators naturally had the same reasoning.
The beautiful woman also wore a smile, half-joking, half-serious, "Young man, do you have a Taoist couple? Our Jade Sword Sect's prodigy, Yu Weiwei, is nearby; perhaps you two could have a chat. Our Jade Sword Sect's heritage includes the Jade Goddess Skill, which contains profound dual cultivation secret techniques~"
Lu Yi had a somewhat odd expression. Introducing a Taoist couple?
Why did this feel like matchmaking?
However, Lu Yi only smiled and said they could be friends, as, after all, he also hoped for a relationship with genuine feelings when it came to a Taoist couple.
Dual cultivation techniques, though Lu Yi was curious, seemed somewhat pointless without feelings.
He admitted he was somewhat moved by the story of the Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect.
Then, Lu Yi bid farewell to the three Cave Void Cultivators and continued deeper.
The three Cave Void Cultivators sat cross-legged, not starting their discussion immediately, but rather watching Lu Yi's departing figure, very curious about how far he could go.
It wasn't just the three of them; sword cultivators in the distance might not see Lu Yi's position clearly, but those outside the Sword Tao Platform, including the Divine Sword Sect's Sect Leader and Elders, clearly saw everything and were equally curious.
Lu Yi now captured everyone's attention, as a Golden Core Cultivator surpassing numerous Cave Void Realm sword geniuses, which was incredible.
At this moment, Lu Yi had not stopped; everyone was discussing and speculating how far he could go.
Lu Yi stepped forward, his steps light, even though the sword intent around him was like a towering mountain pressing down, he remained unruffled.
As he progressed step by step, the sword intent became increasingly powerful, and the surrounding swords denser; in the void, sword intent even began to condense into shapes, like fish swimming through the air.
A golden sword light formed around Lu Yi's body, the Immortal Sword Intent revolving, the golden light enveloping him, shielding him from the influences of the sword intent.
The stronger the surrounding sword intent, the stronger the sword light around Lu Yi, as if limitless.
Soon, the surrounding sword intent reached ninety-five percent intensity, yet Lu Yi's expression remained serene. Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire
This left characters such as Xing Jiuzheng from the Divine Sword Sect, a Great Mahayana cultivator, somewhat unable to remain calm.
"This is truly shocking! Ninety-five percent sword intent pressure, and yet it can scarcely cause this young man's expression to flicker?!"
