68: Heading to the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect!

Sword Intent is also divided into different grades.

Ordinary Sword Intent is like child's play when used against same-level Sword Cultivators who lack Sword Intent.

The vast majority of Sword Cultivators only comprehend ordinary Sword Intent.

The amplification from top-tier Sword Intent can be several times that of ordinary Sword Intent. Under equal strength, there is simply no comparison between the two; it is a massive chasm.

And above this top-tier Sword Intent, there is a type known as Supreme Sword Intent.

It seemed that Yun Guying's Cold Silence Sword Intent, as she mentioned before, belonged to a type of Supreme Sword Intent.

After all, she was an Immortal Emperor's Reincarnation.

The Sword Intent Xiao Wuqing comprehended as the Sword Seed should belong to the top-tier level, offering an astonishing boost.

But Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent... this inherently belonged to the Supreme level!

It could even perform Fusion with other Supreme-level Sword Intents!

Its own offensive capability was already extremely strong, and when combined with its Fusion property, the comprehensive amplification of all one's sword arts, and its natural suppression and compatibility with other Sword Intents... it was practically a BUG born for sword duels!

“Just you wait.”

A faint smile curled at the corners of Lu Yu's mouth.

This Heavenly Sword Trial was becoming more and more interesting.

Three days later, outside the mountain gate of the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect.

A massive silver Flying Boat, shaped like a sword and exuding a sharp aura, floated in mid-air.

This was the Cloud-Piercing Sword Boat, a standard-issue flying Magic Treasure of the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect's Sword Peak. It was extremely fast and integrated both offense and defense.

Fourth Senior Sister Yun Guying, dressed in black robes, stood with her hands behind her back at the bow. Her posture was straight, and she exuded a cold aura that warned others not to approach. She was responsible for leading the team this time; besides her, there were several Sword Cultivator Elders from the Sword Peak.

Behind her stood dozens of Disciples with cultivation levels ranging from Qi Refining to Soul Transformation. They were all talented young Sword Cultivators selected to participate in the trial or observe in the Heavenly Sword Domain.

When Lu Yu arrived with Lin Wanqiu, he found that Mu Lingxi was already there.

She had changed into a moon-white, slim-fitting long dress that was easy to move in, outlining her slender figure. Her cold temperament now held a bit more of the steady composure characteristic of a Soul Transformation Cultivator as she conversed in low tones with a familiar fellow Disciple.

Seeing Lu Yu, her eyes brightened slightly, and she smiled and nodded gently to him, everything understood without words.

Lin Wanqiu was a bit nervous, her small hand tightly gripping her sword.

Her cultivation was at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and her talent in the Dao of the sword was considered top-tier among Disciples of the same age in the Sect. She had also comprehended her own Phoenix Dance Sword Momentum and was selected to participate in the Foundation Establishment group's trial.

“Revered Master, I won't embarrass you,” Lin Wanqiu said softly.

“Just do your best; the focus is on the experience,” Lu Yu patted her shoulder.

“Junior Martial Brother~~~ over here, over here!”

A charming and cheerful voice called out.

Lu Yu turned around to see Fifth Senior Sister Li Miaoer pop out from somewhere. Dressed in a tender pink gauze dress, her cat ears twitched happily, and her tail swayed back and forth like a kitten seeing its owner.

She skipped over to Lu Yu's side and naturally hugged his arm, pressing it against her soft peaks.

Lu Yu sighed helplessly; there was no avoiding her.

“Fifth Senior Sister, why are you here? Your name wasn't on the list, was it?”

“Why can't I come?” Li Miaoer pouted and gave Lu Yu a dissatisfied look.

“Although I'm not a Sword Cultivator, I can still be an accompanying Elder. It's mostly because staying in the Sect is too boring. I heard there's a lot of fun stuff in the Heavenly Sword Domain and trials to watch, and besides...”

She leaned in close to Lu Yu, lowering her voice as her cat-like eyes flashed with a cunning light.

“Being by my Junior Martial Brother's side—everyone knows I love watching him most—how could I miss such a good thing! Don't worry, I've already cleared it with Fourth Sister. I'm going as your accompanying family member, just for fun~”

Lu Yu was speechless.

An accompanying family member? That works too?

He looked toward Yun Guying at the bow. The latter seemed to sense his gaze, gave him a cold glance, and said nothing, which was a tacit approval.

Fine, he couldn't afford to provoke this one either.

Meanwhile, the surrounding Sword Cultivator Disciples were green with envy seeing their Godson so heroic and mighty, with Li Miaoer—the little tyrant of the Sect—being so considerate and cute by his side!

After all, Li Miaoer was ranked fourth on the beautiful women ranking!

What male Cultivator wouldn't want such a lively and cute Heavenly Immortal beauty, complete with cat ears and a tail, who was so charming and moving?

Many Disciples looked at Lu Yu with eyes full of envy and jealousy.

Soon, everyone had arrived.

Yun Guying did a head count, and once confirmed, she didn't waste words and waved her jade-like hand.

“Board the ship. We depart.”

One after another, everyone flew onto the sword boat.

The interior of the sword boat was spacious, with quiet rooms provided.

As a Soul Transformation Cultivator, Mu Lingxi had a private cabin. As the Godson, Lu Yu naturally had a private room as well.

Li Miaoer, however, giggled and insisted on squeezing onto the bed next to Lu Yu, refusing her own room. She planned to stay in her Junior Martial Brother's quarters during the few days on the sword boat.

She claimed it was to protect her Junior Martial Brother in close proximity.

The Disciples' eyes nearly popped out of their heads!

So the Godson and Li Miaoer were already living together!

He was truly a role model for their generation!

Soon, the news that Li Miaoer was Godson Lu Yu's Dao Companion spread among them.

The sword boat turned into a silver streak of light, piercing through the clouds and racing toward the distant Heavenly Sword Domain.

Inside the cabin, many Disciples could hardly contain their excitement, whispering about the upcoming trial and their yearning for the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect.

Lin Wanqiu gathered with several Foundation Establishment Stage Disciples to exchange insights on sword techniques.

Mu Lingxi sat in meditation in her small cabin, regulating her breath to consolidate her Realm.

Lu Yu sat cross-legged on his bunk, his mind sinking into his Sea of Consciousness to continue comprehending the vast basic insights of the Dao of the sword while feeling his own Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent.

He could feel that this Sword Intent was like a hungry infant, filled with a craving for all external auras of the Dao of the sword.

Once they reached the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect, a place hailed as a Holy Land for Sword Cultivators, there would surely be an opportunity for it to have a feast.

Li Miaoer lay on Lu Yu's bunk, her chin resting in her hands. Her glassy cat-like eyes stared unblinkingly at Lu Yu as he Cultivated with his eyes closed, her tail swaying gently and unconsciously.

Not knowing what she was thinking about, her cheeks suddenly flushed slightly, and she quickly buried her face in the crook of her arm, revealing only the tips of her bright red cat ears.

Fourth Senior Sister Yun Guying stood alone on the bow deck, her robes fluttering. She gazed at the endless sea of clouds ahead, her eyes as cold as ever, yet deep within that coldness, there seemed to be a hidden, barely perceptible trace of solemnity.

On her [Emotion System] panel, it clearly showed that as the sword boat moved further away from the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect, a certain blurred emotional source with "Deep Red Malice" toward her—most of which she marked as such were from the Demon Domain—was being tracked.

Furthermore, anyone she had marked with Deep Red Malice who could still escape from her hands would not be weak.

The fluctuations were faintly strengthening, and the direction seemed to be related to their destination.

“The Heavenly Sword Domain... this time, I'm afraid it won't be very peaceful.”

She whispered to herself, her voice dissipating in the howling wind.

The sword boat was like lightning, cutting through the sky as it sailed toward that ancient region where Sword Intent pierced the heavens.
