Lonemoon brought Shen Ying along as they flew directly towards that lone island. The Sword Qi became denser as they got closer; the Sword Qi had enveloped the island within a radius of 1.5 kilometers. He could only stop in midair to look at the island ahead that was engulfed in the powerful Sword Qi. The Spirit Qi in the air was growing denser as if being drawn by something. They were combining with the Sword Qi and moving towards the island, seemingly compressing to become something solid.
“Why are you not moving?” Shen Ying stretched out her hand to poke the person in front of her.
“Do you want to die!” He looked back and rolled his eyes. “Do you not see the sky full of Sword Qi? It would be a miracle to not get slashed into pieces!”
“Sword Qi?” Shen Ying tilted her head. What’s that?
“During a Sword Cultivator’s epiphany, he will release all the Sword Qi within him to realize the Dao. The Sword Qi at this time will not be within his primordial spirit’s control and will attack anyone who comes near.”
“… Oh.”
“Why do you shake your head while saying ‘oh’. If you didn’t understand just tell me.”
“I didn’t understand.”
“Damn it!” It was as he had thought. Lonemoon’s mouth twitched as he scrutinized her. “Didn’t you say you have already been in this world for almost four months? How can you not know anything? What have you been doing all these months?”
Shen Ying thought about it for a moment before listing what she had done out loud, “Eating sweet potato, rabbit meat, and… your pig’s feed!”
“I am asking about what you understand? Not asking for your recipes!” Of course you spent these few months eating away, and what pig’s feed? I am going to flip out. “Forget it! You only need to know that in this current situation, unless the Sword Qi is contained, we can only stop here.”
“Oh.” Could have just said that earlier!
“This kind of situation cannot last for long. Roughly 15 minutes is the longest.” At the end of his words, the dense Sword Qi and Spirit Qi in the surroundings became reduced and were sucked into Yi Qing’s body in a moment’s time. A scar in the shape of a golden sword slowly surfaced between his brows.
“Alright, his Sword Intent is complete.” Lonemoon heaved a sigh of relief. But just as he was about to fly over, a loud rumbling sound was heard accompanied by a white flash of lightning descending from the sky and striking right at the people below.
The previously sunny sky abruptly turned dark. As a storm began to rage, glaring crackles of lightning could be seen among the clouds as if something was brewing. The mountain peaks of Blackheaven Sect behind them lit up and formed an array, turning into a huge invisible shield that enveloped the entire sect within it.
“Protective mountain array!” Lonemoon was taken aback as the sky above had become completely dark. “This is… a Nascent Soul Lightning Tribulation. He has even achieved Nascent Soul Formation stage!” Holy shit, that was really quick! One session of epiphany and he had jumped from Golden Core stage to Nascent Soul Formation stage which was tantamount to pole-vaulting. “He is indeed the future’s most powerful Sword Immortal.”
“Sword Immortal?” Shen Ying was dazed for a while. One moment there was Sword Qi, and then in another moment there was a Sword Immortal. What exactly were these?
“Stop acting!” Lonemoon rolled his eyes at her. “Didn’t you take him as your disciple because of this?”
“Nope.”
“Cheh, do you dare say that you have never read the book Immortal Fate?”
“Never read it.”
“How is that possible? If you didn’t read the same book as I did, how did you transmigrate here?”
“I played an online game overnight, and when I woke up I was here.”
“…”
After a minute.
