Chapter 884 – Geniuses Of Pine Prefecture, Can Anyone Fight Me!? (1/2)
Jian Wuchen and Daoist Gu appeared before Yang Ye at the exact same instant that the PaG.o.da of Sword Intent crumbled, and both of their faces were extremely unsightly when they saw the situation here. Both of their gazes immediately descended onto Yang Ye, and there was anger, bewilderment, and shock in their eyes.
Countless different types of sword intent were devouring each other all around and within Yang Ye’s body. While they seemed to have merged willingly with his sword intent, it was still a fierce battle when they started devouring each other. After all, the consciousness of the one which persisted until the end would definitely hold authority over the others. Of course, Yang Ye was still the one who benefited in the end!
Daoist Gu spoke solemnly, “He really is devouring them!”
Jian Wuchen asked, “You let him do that?”
Daoist Gu laughed bitterly and said, “He asked me if he could devour the sword intent within the paG.o.da, and I told him that he could feel free to do as he pleased if he had the ability. I’m sure you’re aware that all the sword intent within the paG.o.da are at the 3rd level of the Heaven Rank at least, so they weren’t inferior to his sword intent during its peak. Not to mention him, it wouldn’t even be likely for me to be able to devour the sword intent within the paG.o.da. But I never imagined that he actually did it, and he seems to have even succeeded….”
When he spoke up to this point, Daoist Gu suddenly said, “Sword Master, if he really attains Void Rank sword intent, then coupled with Wan’er, our Ancient Sword School will definitely be able to ascend to the top 30 within the Martial Rankings of the Central Divine Prefecture! Not to mention that we might be able to rely on that to ascend into the ranks of Diamond Rank powers!”
Jian Wuchen’s eyelids twitched a little. After all, ascending to the ranks of Diamond Rank powers was something that generations of ancestors of the Ancient Sword School had fought to accomplis.h.!.+
A short while pa.s.sed before Jian Wuchen shook his head and said, “You should be aware that it isn’t so easy to attain Void Rank sword intent, and it’s impossible even if he devours all the Heaven Rank sword intent here. Otherwise, our sword school’s seniors would have devoured the sword intent here a very long time ago. Besides that, the Martial Rankings aren't as simple as you think. In short, we should first think of a way to explain this to those old fellows…. The PaG.o.da of Sword Intent’s sword intent have been absorbed, and the paG.o.da itself has crumbled. Even I, the Sword Master, might have to suffer for this!”
Daoist Gu smiled with embarra.s.sment and said, “Sword Master, you must be joking. Besides the Founding Ancestor, you’re the strongest in our sword school, so how could they dare to blame and punish you? They would just nag you at most!”
Jian Wuchen gazed at Yang Ye for a long time before he spoke softly, “I wonder if his arrival in our sword sect is a blessing or a calamity to us…?”
A solemn expression appeared on Daoist Gu’s face as well. Needless to say, while Yang Ye’s strength was formidable, his ability to cause trouble was absolutely formidable as well. Moreover, Yang Ye acted too willfully and domineeringly. It was fine if no one offended him, but if someone did, then he would definitely kill that person. Such a character was beneficial in the sense that he wouldn’t be bullied; but the disadvantage was that it made it easy for Yang Ye to make enemies!
Daoist Gu sighed softly as he gazed at Yang Ye, and there was a slightly complicated gaze in his eyes.
A long time pa.s.sed before the sword intent around Yang Ye gradually calmed down, and then around another hour pa.s.sed before Yang Ye suddenly opened his eyes. He pressed his fingers together and waved them lightly towards. As soon as he finished the swing, the ground in the distance was immediately split apart and a bottomless and pitch black rift appeared there.
Jian Wuchen spoke abruptly, “Quasi Void Rank!”
Yang Ye’s brows knit slightly together, “It isn’t true Void Rank sword intent?”
“Be happy with what you have!” Jian Wuchen continued, “Do you know that besides the Founding Ancestor and a few monstrous geniuses of our sword school, even all of us only possess 3rd level Heaven Rank sword intent. Even though there’s a difference in strength between 3rd level Heaven Rank sword intent, our sword intent is still only at the Heaven Rank in the end. Yet you have attained Quasi Void Rank sword intent while only around the age of 20! To be honest, even I feel quite envious!”
Yang Ye smiled with embarra.s.sment and said, “Isn’t Void Rank sword intent completely soundless? My sword intent doesn’t make a sound as well right now, so why is it only Quasi Void Rank and not the actual Void Rank?”
“Because your sword intent hasn’t truly surpa.s.sed this world!” Daoist Gu continued, “Your current sword intent can only be considered to be on par with the world, at most. So, its traces can still be found in the world. Of course, ordinary people would be absolutely unable to detect it, unless they were geniuses who’d started comprehending the world or were high rank Half-Saints who were half a step away from the Saint Realm. In short, if they haven’t started comprehending the world or are below the Saint Realm, then even high rank Half-Saints wouldn’t be able to detect your sword intent!”
Yang Ye asked, “How do I attain true Void Rank sword intent?”
Both Daoist Gu and Jian Wuchen revealed solemn expressions when they heard this, and then Daoist Gu spoke seriously, “Kid, you must remember to never reach beyond your grasp. It’s never beneficial to be hasty in your cultivation!”
Yang Ye nodded and said, “Thank you for the guidance!” Actually, he regretted speaking those words once he finished speaking them. Actually, he’d spoken in a moment of excitement, or it should be said that he was too anxious and impatient.
Jian Wuchen and Daoist Gu’s expressions eased up when they saw Yang Ye’s att.i.tude towards the matter, and Jian Wuchen said, “True Void Rank sword intent is ethereal and otherworldly. Very few people are able to rely on external forces to attain the Void Rank. At the very least, I’ve never seen or heard of anyone succeeding. You can only rely on your own comprehension to attain the Void Rank! If you comprehend it, then you’ll naturally attain the Void Rank.”
Yang Ye said, “Has there been no one in our sword school besides the Founding Ancestor that has attained the Void Rank?”
Jian Wuchen nodded and said, “There are some at the Quasi Void Rank, but there aren’t many!”
Yang Ye nodded, and then he suddenly asked, “Can I rely on Quasi Void Rank sword intent to fight Saint Realm experts?”
Daoist Gu and Jian Wuchen exchanged glances, and there was a smile on both their faces. Daoist Gu had a grin on his face as he said, “Come, why don’t you try an attack of mine?”
“Alright!” There was blazing battle intent in Yang Ye’s eyes. His sword intent had been restored and even improved, so he really wanted to find someone to spar with!
Daoist Gu flicked with his finger, and a strand of sword energy shot forward. It wasn’t very quick, but Yang Ye didn’t dare act carelessly in the slightest. His profound energy surged madly before his sword intent shot out as well. In the end, he pressed his index and middle finger together before waving it forward, and a strand of sword energy shot forward and collided with Daoist Gu’s sword energy!
Hiss!
