272 Chapter 272 Heart Annoyed and Disgust Grows (1/2)

In the deep parts of the cloud ocean, outside a palace surrounded by clouds. Long Ruo was sitting on top of a high mountain, fully focused. This place was from beneath the cloud ocean, stabbing up into the heavens. However, only a small part of it stuck out of the cloud ocean.

In front of him, there was a silver sword which hung 3 inches around his body, circling.

Long Ruo's brows were tightly furrowed. He stared at the sword in front of him in deep thought.

If there was a spiritual cultivator here, one would notice that there were 3 bright and dazzling golden runes in his soul ocean. It was reflecting out light and shining on the sword.

The light was bright and destructive like it was about to cut a hole through the sword.

Just as this silver-white sword was about to turn transparent in Long Ruo's eyes, suddenly, thin sword energy broke out from the sword body.

Long Ruo was astonished, retracting his soul consciousness and keeping the 3 golden talismans in his soul. His right finger flicked out only to hear a ”ding” before this broken blade sword was tossed hundreds of feet out. It was then restrained by certain power and didn't fall beneath the cloud ocean.

”What a good broken metal sword intent. In the end, it was all for nothing...”

Frowning his brows, Long Ruo looked at his right-hand only to see there was a thin wound at his fingertip.

His martial cultivation wasn't as good as his spiritual cultivation and was only at the martial ancestor realm. However, His body along with his vast soul power wasn't something a normal grade 3 spiritual weapon could hurt.

The sword just now just very easily left this wound on his fingertip.

He couldn't help but frown. It has been 8 months since he comprehended this broken metal sword intent. At the start, he was improving with leaps and bounds, but in the next half a year, he was stuck at this final step.

It shouldn't be only because of his comprehension of the martial path. There was also because of natural barriers between spirit and martial arts.

This sword cultivation path was, as expected, not an easy one.

Just as he was deep in thought, Long Ruo suddenly picked up something. He looked down only to see a person climbing up from below. He wasn't stepping on the mountain rocks, but on air.

The person was not well trained, his body shaking and wobbly, their speed was also really slow. However, each step was stable.

The 3 thousand feet high hill wasn't a cliff, but this person used close to 15 minutes before he got to the peak.

Sweat formed on the forehead. However, this young man's face was filled with satisfaction.

Long Ruo also felt happy for him, smiling, ”Congratulations junior brother, you are at the ascended realm. Your lifespan has reached a thousand years, no longer the same as normal people.”

That Zu Renkuang laughed out loud when he heard that, ”I have cultivated 7 years in the world and then spent a year in the cloud palace to be able to take this step. However, my realm isn't stable, so who knows, I might drop back down tomorrow.”

Then, he looked at the silver sword in front of Long Ruo, ”Senior Brother is still comprehending this broken metal sword intent? It seems like you want to embark on sword cultivation, making a second soul and form a sword embryo sword intent? How's your progress now?”

”I do want to make a 2nd soul. I have to thank Junior brother for this matter! Thanks to you for helping me find this broken blade sword. Although I haven't made much progress, within 2-3 months I will have some progress.”

Long Ruo smiled, casually keeping the silver sword into his sleeves. Then he asked curiously, ”Junior brother didn't come here to ask me about my progress in this broken metal sword intent. What matter do you have? You can say directly? Our relationship is great, so you don't need to be shy.”

”I really can stop asking you how the comprehension of your sword intent is going. There are 3 more months to the dragon gate opening. The martial saint remnant image day, which was why senior master asked me to ask you how your progress is if you could breakthrough within 3 months...”

Zu Renkuang laughed, following which his tone changed, ”I also have one matter to inform you. Did you once order a 4th generation disciple to pay attention to news about Gantian Mountain prince Zong Shou? That person told me to tell you that 3 days ago he killed Zong Shi, Zong Ming, and Zong Hao, officially taking the throne and becoming the 2nd Gantian Mountain Monster king.”

Long Ruo's eyes immediately constructed, his eyes filled with shock, ”You mean Zong Shi and Zong Ming all died in his hands?”

Even Zu Renkuang saying Zong Shou inheriting the throne wasn't as shocking as the deaths of these few people.
