The cultivators who were able to come to the Sword Pavilion were naturally all one in a million heavenly prides, and they certainly understood the great significance that cultivating Sword II to the second layer in the Fish Dragon Realm represented.
One must know that even the mythical Buried Moon Sword Saint had only cultivated Sword II to the second layer of the realm when he was in the Fish Dragon Realm.
Obviously, Lin Yue’s achievements would never stay at the current level, and there would be a lot of room for improvement in the future.
“He really has cultivated to the second layer of the Sword Two realm?”
Qi Fayu’s calm and beautiful face finally underwent some subtle changes. Even with her state of mind, it was difficult for her to remain calm and accept this fact.
One must know that it had only been a month that had passed.
If he were to be given a year, or ten years, what level of attainment in the Dao of the Sword would he reach?
“Handsome, too handsome! Worthy of being the Boss, his Sword Dao realm can only make us look up.”Xun Hua Liu lifted her chest a little higher, in the future, with Boss Lin Yue backing him up, in the Two Yi Sect, who would dare to mess with him?
Qi Hong’s face, became a little gloomy, how could he not believe that Lin Yue’s attainments in sword dao had already reached the second level of sword two, the realm of Yin Yang Chaos.
He walked forward and first bowed to the Burial Moon Sword Saint before he said, ”Master, disciple is still quite knowledgeable about the Dao of the Sword, I really don’t believe somewhat that it only took a month to cultivate to the second layer of the Sword II realm. Of course, disciple isn’t doubting Lin Yue, I just feel quite incredible.”
The Buried Moon Sword Saint was in an extremely good mood, Lin Yue’s sword dao talent, finally when he saw a glimmer of hope. As long as Lin Yue was able to keep growing at his current rate, when the Sword Discussion Conference came around, why would he worry that the Two Element Sect wouldn’t continue to take the lead?
He stared at Qi Hong, smiled, and said, “Then, how do you think it should be verified?”
Qi Hong said, “Disciple proposes that Qi Fayu and Lin Yue have a match, if Lin Yue is able to win, he will naturally be able to convince the public.”
Gai Tianjiao immediately stood out, snorted coldly, and said, “Sixth senior brother, your way, it’s not quite fair, is it? Senior Sister Qi’s cultivation has already reached the Ninth Transformation of the Fish Dragon. However, Senior Brother Lin Yue’s cultivation level is only the Fish Dragon Fifth Transformation.”
“Even if Senior Brother Lin Yue’s sword dao attainments are higher than Senior Sister Qi’s, it’s impossible for him to be her opponent.”
The more Qi Hong looked at Gai Tianjiao, the more displeased he became, opposing him at every turn, if it wasn’t for the refuge of the Burial Moon Sword Saint, he would have already gotten rid of Gai Tianjiao.
Qi Hong kept that anger, hidden in his heart and did not show it.
“We can just compare sword skills, not cultivation.”Qi Fayu stepped out, her demeanour was very elegant, her eyes staring straight at Zhang Ruochen as she said, “In fact, I’ve long wanted to spar with Senior Brother Lin Yue in swordsmanship, and this time, it’s a rare opportunity.”
The Buried Moon Sword Saint nodded gently and looked over towards Zhang Ruochen, saying, “Lin Yue, since you claim to have cultivated to the second level of the Sword Two realm, shouldn’t you also prove yourself to everyone?”
Zhang Ruochen walked forward to the opposite side of Qi Fayu and said, “I’ve also long wanted to learn Senior Sister Qi’s high level of skill, and since we have such an opportunity, there’s no harm in a sparring match.”
The crowd stepped back, giving Zhang Ruochen and Qi Fayu a vast field.
In the crowd, a Heavenly Pride daughter of the Fish Dragon Seventh Transformation was slightly surprised, saying, “It is said that Lin Yue and Qi Fayu are quite close, a pair of lovers, so how could they fight over the Sword Soul Ice Spirit?”
“The Sword Soul Ice Spirit is a supreme treasure that was birthed from the fifth floor of the Sword Pavilion, only able to give birth to a piece of it every twenty years, and to sword cultivators, it has an infinite allure. In order to obtain the Sword Soul Ice Spirit, not to mention a pair of lovers will break up, even if they are blood brothers or blood parents, it is estimated that they will also lay a hidden hand behind their backs.”
“In fact, Lin Yue and Qi Fayu are really a talented couple, and both of their sword dao talents are outstanding, so they can be called the golden children of the Two Yi Sect. If, they were able to come together, it would definitely become a good story. Ai! It’s a pity!”
The cultivators present were all talking.
Among them, many of them were still very optimistic about Lin Yue and Qi Fayu coming together, and felt quite sorry to see the two of them break up over the Sword Soul Ice Spirit.
On the contrary, the two standing on the square were always very calm.
“Swish!”
Qi Fayu stretched out a snow-white jade hand, and then the ancient sword on her back, trembled and dragged out a long sword light that flew out of its sheath and landed in her hand.
Zhang Ruochen took out the Void Sword and said, “Senior Sister Qi, sorry for the offence!”
Taking a step forward, Zhang Ruochen’s figure was as if he had turned into a ghost, leaving behind only a shadow.
The Void Sword in his hand quickly drew a huge circle of sword qi that radiated out in all directions.
Wherever the circle of sword qi was enveloped, it instantly condensed into an alternating black and white Taiji mark, half of which was night and half of which was day.
At the same time, Qi Fayu also swung her sword, and the sword qi intersected, forming the shape of a circle.
From the ancient sword, two distinct forces flew out, one of which was extremely chilly and condensed into a cold cloud, while the other was quite masculine and condensed into a fire cloud.
The two opposing forces were constantly alternating and changing.
A Half-Saint Ancestor exclaimed in admiration, ”The two of them, they have indeed both reached the first level of the Sword Two realm, alternating yin and yang. However …… the Sword Dao they have comprehended is somewhat different.”
Another Half-Saint Ancestor said, “Obviously, Qi Fayu cultivates the most orthodox Sword Dao, where the two qi of yin and yang are fused with the sword technique, giving off an unpredictable feeling.”
“As for Lin Yue,…… Lao Fu is a bit puzzled. The Sword Dao that he unleashed does contain the true meaning of alternating yin and yang, but why is there another arcane force that also flows within the sword technique?”
The Buried Moon Sword Saint twisted his beard and laughed, “That is the power of day and night, as well as the power of heaven and earth. If this seat is not wrong, Lin Yue should have referred to the Thousand Bone Empress’s Sword II notes and incorporated them into the orthodox Sword Dao. This son’s enlightenment is truly quite astonishing.”
Hearing the Buried Moon Sword Saint’s explanation, the several Half-Saints present all immediately revealed astonished expressions.
“Actually, Qi Fayu is also quite outstanding.”
A rather old Half-Saint, said, “Sword Saint, haven’t you ever thought of cultivating them to become Heavenly Sword and Earth Sword bearers?”
“With these two little guys’ attainments in the Dao of the Sword, if they were to cultivate the ‘Yin-Yang Two-Yi Sword Formation’ and hold the Heavenly Sword and the Earth Sword, they would definitely be able to become the guardians of the Two-Yi Sect a hundred years from now.”
The Burial Moon Sword Saint was slightly moved, if it wasn’t for Gai Tianjiao informing him of something about Qi Fayu. He might have really tried his best to set up Qi Fayu and Lin Yue, training the two to become the sword bearers of the Heavenly Sword and the Earth Sword.
As for now, he could only wait for the results of the Sect’s investigation into Qi Fayyu and the Qi Family first; if the Qi Family was truly connected to the Devil Sect, Qi Fayyu had to be stifled, no matter how high her natural talent was.
The sword technique Zhang Ruochen unleashed formed a sword qi domain that completely engulfed Qi Fayyu.
It was as if Qi Fayu had fallen into another time and space, and above her head, day and night kept transforming, sometimes the sun shone brightly, sometimes the sky was full of stars.
Suddenly, the bright sun in the sky transformed into Lin Yue’s body.
He was holding a battle sword that was burning with a blazing flame, and he quickly stabbed down towards her, Qi Fayu didn’t panic in the slightest, and immediately met the attack.
The two swords quickly collided together, and the black and white alternating sword qi fields pressed the sword qi field that Qi Fayu had unleashed backwards.
“Boom.”
In the next moment, Qi Fayu’s sword qi domain crumbled, and her figure slid backwards, retreating until she was tens of feet away.
“Yin Yang Chaos.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t even give her a chance to catch her breath as he executed the second level of the Sword II realm, his body and sword rushing out at the same time, striking Qi Fayu’s heart with a devastating momentum.
Such a force was as if it was going to kill Qi Fayu on the spot.
“Look at the moon in the water.”
Forced to do so, Qi Fayu could only mobilise her entire body’s holy qi, executing a move from the Nine Swords of Yin Yi, and swung a sword forward.
“Boom!”
A crescent-shaped sword qi flew out, emitting a piercing whistling sound and knocking Zhang Ruochen back with a powerful force.
Zhang Ruochen retreated tens of steps backward and stood still, looking at a bloodstain on his arm, he secretly said in his heart, Qi Fayu’s cultivation was really quite profound, even if it wasn’t comparable to Gai Tianjiao and Devil Son Ouyang Huan, it was still a bit more powerful than the Fish and Dragon’s Ninth Transformation’s Sacred Body.
Qi Fayu put away the ancient sword and smiled faintly, saying, ”I lost! Senior Brother Lin Yue’s sword cultivation is really quite remarkable, the Sword Soul Ice Spirit deserves to go to you. I hope that Senior Brother Lin Yue will be able to defeat all the young sword cultivators in the world on behalf of the Two Yi Sect at the Sword Discussion Conference.”
Afterwards, Qi Fayu retreated.
Originally, the two of them had agreed that they would only compete with swords and not display their cultivation.
Qi Fayu had been the first to display her cultivation of the Ninth Change of Fish Dragon, and although she had repelled Zhang Ruochen, she had broken the rules and was naturally considered the loser.
Moreover, Lin Yue had already executed the second level of the second realm of the sword, and it was obvious that his attainments in the sword path were a bit higher than Qi Fayu’s.
The Sword Soul Ice Spirit should naturally be rewarded to him.
“She just let me have the Sword Soul Ice Spirit so easily?”Zhang Ruochen stroked his chin and stared at Qi Fayu’s departing back.
Even if she was willing to give up the Sword Soul Ice Pillar, the people of the Qi Clan, I’m afraid, would definitely not let up. In the future, it was better to be careful.
A sword dao exchange between Qi Fayu and Lin Yue caused quite a bit of excitement to the cultivators present. They entered the Sword Pavilion one after another and began to cultivate frantically, wanting to cultivate into Sword One or even Sword Two as well.
Zhang Ruochen received the Sword Soul Ice Spirit from the Buried Moon Sword Saint, so he went to Room 18 of the Xuan Character, entered a retreat house, and activated the formation in the retreat house.
Placing the box containing the Sword Soul Ice Spirit, he placed it on the floor and opened it.
Only to see that the Sword Soul Ice Soul was a pigeon egg sized piece of ice crystal, milky white in colour, escaping a very icy cold air. A rice grain sized sword, suspended inside the crystal, flickered with bright light.
