Who could Zhou Tong be? The third realm of Mo Li Sword Art, 'Mirror Flower Water Moon', might not have much use in the sect, but in here, it was a god-like technique. It battled against the flying swords all day and continuously absorbed the sword skills stored within the flying swords for its own use, making it impossible for Zhou Tong's sword techniques to not improve.

And most importantly, every single one of these flying swords used the sword intent. Each time Zhou Tong defeated a flying sword, the sword intent contained within would be absorbed by Zhou Tong, and in the short span of a month, the second stage of the Dao entry level that Zhou Tong had just broken through, was already complete.

Although the quality of these sword intents were not uniform, their quantity was still countless times greater than that of the cold air chamber s. It was likely that their sect had only thrown Zhou Tong here due to the circumstances.

After a long while, Zhou Tong opened his eyes once again, and his body was still in its best condition. In this one month's time, this enormous Western Mountain had almost been completely plundered by Zhou Tong. In the next three days, Zhou Tong had to rush to another mountain, find a new residence, and a new 'fuel'.

Speaking of which, Zhou Tong had recently received a sound transmission from Chen Peng regarding the Jade Light Sword Tomb. If not for a sound transmission token that allowed him to listen to gossip and understand the development of the Mo Sect, he would probably be dead bored to death at a place where he could not even see the goods.

And according to Chen Peng's description, there were records of people who had walked out of the Jade Light Sword Tomb alive from the various ancient records of the Star Gauze Sword Sect, and at the very least, were elders of the sect. And Sect Master Taoist Master Xing Luo, had even defeated a sword formation that had been passed down for a long time within the Jade Light Sword Tomb.

What was a sword formation? If one were to ask another sect's cultivator, they might not be able to get an answer. However, in the ancient texts of the Star Gauze Sword Sect, it was written in a very detailed manner.

Those sword formations that were passed down by the Dao of formations, even the weakest would be able to trap any cultivator below the three levels of lucidity and even kill them. And the sword formation that Taoist Master Xing Luo had broken through was an extremely ancient and profound sword formation. The might of the formation was something that even lucid state of mind cultivators would find hard to deal with.

Although in detail, there were too many fortuitous encounters, and although Taoist Master Xing Luo was able to cultivate the sword intent and sword heart back then, he was still a far cry from truly reaching the lucid state of mind. However, compared to the current Zhou Tong, he was already much stronger.

After hearing these gossips, Zhou Tong developed a very strong interest towards the Jade Light Sword Tomb.

Although the path of array formation was only a method of support for Zhou Tong, he was still interested in studying this sort of ancient sword formation. As for Zhou Tong's area of operations, he was always searching towards the center of the Sword Tomb's deep canyon in an attempt to uncover the truth.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed by.

It was extremely difficult to survive in this barren land. After all, it had been hundreds of years since someone had been here. The change was so great that it was hard to describe. In comparison, the ten thousand flower valley's experiences were like tourism. Even with Zhou Tong's current cultivation level, most of the time he had to abide by the principles of survival, act low key, and hide as the main force.

Not to mention the flying swords that were flying in the sky during the riots, the sword Qis that erupted from the rifts were enough to instantly kill any cultivator. If Zhou Tong did not have a strong physique and had a deep understanding of sword techniques, these unforeseen events that would have been hard to guard against would have been enough for Zhou Tong to die many times.

If one wanted to survive here, they had to hide underground or hide in the mountains. However, this was only for a short period of time. When the chaos spread, even if there were cracks in the rocks, they would be penetrated by the flying swords. In fact, the first riot that Zhou Tong had encountered since arriving at the Jade Light Sword Tomb was blocked by countless flying swords inside the cave, making it impossible for him to get out.

If it was any other cultivator, even if it was Solemnly Luo Hui and the rest, being surrounded like that, they would probably die. No matter how powerful they were, how could they break out of the encirclement? If he didn't break through, no matter how good the fight was, he wouldn't be able to hold on for a whole day.

But it was Zhou Tong's Mo Li Sword Intent that created this rare chance for him to live. Those flying swords that were being restricted were all a little afraid of the Mo Li Sword Intent, and did not dare to come closer, which gave Zhou Tong a lot of courage. In the end, Zhou Tong bravely rushed into the chaos with his sword, fighting against the flying swords.

Then, he was almost chopped to death. If not for the days that had passed and the riots stopping, Zhou Tong would probably have been dead by now.
