79: His name is engraved on the sword stele!
Li Feifan and Xiao Tian were legendary Sword Immortals who ascended to the Immortal Realm tens of thousands of years ago. Their names are like monuments, representing the Peak of Cloud Heaven Realm's Sword Dao history.
And Ye Hanshuang is Lu Yu's Third Senior Sister, the Sword Immortal Ye from Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect, whose name has long been renowned throughout the land.
Many years ago, when she reached Soul Transformation, her single sword strike shocked the world, carving her full name at the absolute Peak of the sword stele, shaking the Seven Domains.
Now, it was Fourth Senior Sister Yun Guying's turn.
When she first emerged, with her Nascent Soul Perfection cultivation, she once carved a single 'Yun' character on the stele's summit, which also astonished the world at that time.
She is now at the Body Integration Stage Great Perfection, and her Sword Intent has become even purer and sharper.
Looking at this posture, she intends to carve her full name here, today, under the gaze of countless onlookers!
"Senior Sister is getting serious."
Li Miaoer also stopped her teasing, her cat-like eyes unblinkingly fixed on that solitary, stark figure in black.
Mu Lingxi, Lin Wanqiu, and indeed all the Sword Cultivators present, held their breath.
Above the high platform, Elders and powerful figures from various domains also cast their gazes.
The white-bearded Grand Elder of the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect even stroked his beard and focused, a look of undisguised anticipation in his eyes.
Yun Guying stopped a hundred zhang away from the sword stele and slowly closed her eyes.
The entire plaza instantly became so quiet that a pin drop could be heard; even the sound of the wind seemed to be choked by an invisible force.
Three breaths.
Five breaths.
Ten breaths.
She suddenly opened her eyes!
"Zheng—!!!"
It wasn't the sound of a sword being unsheathed, but the ringing of heaven and earth, a sound of pure, ultimate Sword Intent erupting from every pore and every inch of flesh on her body!
It was the chilling sound of ice sealing eternity, freezing the Divine Soul!
Boom!!!
Centered on where she stood, a visible cold tide exploded!
It wasn't a simple drop in temperature, but a freezing at the Law level!
The air instantly condensed into countless tiny ice crystals, and light warped and slowed in the cold tide, as if even time itself was about to be frozen!
The ground cracked, and thick profound ice spread at an astonishing speed. Within a hundred zhang, everything turned into an ice plain!
But this was only the beginning.
Yun Guying pointed her fingers like a sword, gently tapping the Void Realm in front of her.
Whoosh—!!!
A silver-white Sword Qi, as fine as a strand of hair yet as dazzling as the moonlight of the Nine Heavens, quietly emerged from her fingertip!
When this Sword Qi first appeared, it was only an inch long, as faint as a firefly.
However, the moment it left her fingertip!
Rumble rumble rumble—!!!
The entire Myriad Sword Valley!
No, it was the ancient Sword Qi and residual Sword Intent omnipresent throughout the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect's region, as if summoned by a supreme call, converging like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, frantically rushing towards this slender Sword Qi!
Countless subtle yet sharp sword cries echoed in the air; it was the Sword Intent that had slept for a hundred thousand years responding!
With every inch the Sword Qi advanced, it surged tenfold!
One zhang!
The Sword Qi was already like a bolt of silk across the sky, its silver light scorching!
Ten zhang!
The Sword Qi transformed into a roaring, surging ice river, its cold intent biting, leaving ice traces in the Void Realm wherever it passed!
Fifty zhang!
The Sword Qi had already soared into the sky, like a colossal ice crystal light pillar connecting heaven and earth, over ten zhang in diameter, with countless fragmented ice crystal Sword Qi circulating and perishing within it like billions of stars, exuding a terrifying will to freeze time and space and annihilate all Laws!
One hundred zhang!
The Sword Qi completely transformed into a vast and brilliant galaxy!
Countless ice crystal Sword Qi swirled, collided, and fused within it, emitting a roar that made Souls tremble!
The brilliance was so intense that it even eclipsed the scorching sun in the sky!
That was no longer mere coldness, but the manifestation of the supreme Sword Dao containing the waxing and waning of the moon, the ebb and flow of tides, and the Origin of the Universe's cold stillness!
"Hea... heavens..."
"Is this... Sword Intent that a Body Integration Stage Cultivator can possess?!"
"Cold Moon Sword Immortal... truly lives up to her reputation!"
Countless Cultivators widened their eyes, their minds greatly shaken, and those with weaker cultivation felt their legs go soft, almost collapsing to the ground.
The pressure emanating from that Sword Intent galaxy made the vast majority of Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation Cultivators present feel a fear originating from the very level of their lives!
Even the powerful figures on the high platform, who had seen many storms, showed solemn expressions.
Such Sword Intent had subtly touched the edge of Law; it was absolutely extraordinary!
"Go."
Yun Guying lightly uttered a single word from her lips.
That vast and brilliant Sword Intent galaxy, carrying supreme majesty that suppressed the current era, roared towards the very top of the sword stele!
"Buzz—!!!"
The sword stele seemed to be completely activated, erupting with towering dark-silver light!
On the stele's body, countless names left over tens of thousands of years simultaneously lit up, flowing with various Sword Intent glows, like awakened Sword Intent Dragons, roaming and roaring on the stele's surface!
The entire sword stele, at this moment, seemed to transform into a peerless divine sword intending to pierce through the firmament!
It was welcoming, but also testing!
Only the strongest Sword Dao acknowledged by it was qualified to leave a name at its absolute Peak!
The Sword Intent galaxy, without any fancy moves, directly crashed into that boiling sea of Sword Intent!
There was no earth-shattering explosion as anticipated.
There was only a grand hum, as if two worlds were colliding, compressing, and fusing.
Space violently twisted, light was torn apart and reassembled, and visible ice-blue and dark-silver halos rippled out layer by layer from the center of the collision. Wherever they passed, all things fell silent.
Ice shards, stone dust, and fragmented Sword Intent light particles mixed into a magnificent yet deadly snow, falling and covering a small half of the plaza.
Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the top of the sword stele.
The light gradually receded.
The aftershocks slowly subsided.
When the dust settled.
Two ancient seal characters, strong as iron and silver hooks, forceful through eternity, each stroke seemingly condensed from billions of ice crystal Sword Qi, were clearly imprinted after the character 'Yun', deeply carved into the essence of the Nine Heavens Star Stone.
Guying!
Yun Guying!!
These three characters stood side-by-side at the Peak of the sword stele, alongside the legendary names of Ye Hanshuang, Li Feifan, and Xiao Tian, their brilliance interweaving, forever guarding this stele!
Success!
Yun Guying slowly retracted her finger. The vast river of Sword Intent around her rolled back, submerging into her body.
Her face was slightly pale, and her aura fluctuated, but her eyes remained as calm as an abyss, without a ripple.
But the entire main plaza of the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect, after experiencing a deathly silence that felt like a century, erupted into a boiling ocean!
"It's done! It's really carved!"
"Yun Guying! Her full name! Alongside the other three Sword Immortals!"
"The fourth in a hundred thousand years! Her current Sword Intent is probably no less than when Sword Immortal Li and Sword Immortal Xiao left their names back then!"
"Cold Moon Sword Immortal! Peak of the Sword Dao, a living myth!"
"Back then, Sword Immortal Hanshuang's Sword Qi soared to the heavens, vast as a sea of stars, her swordsmanship reaching the Peak of a realm, and now Sword Immortal Cold Moon's Sword Intent has also reached the Peak of a realm!"
"The two of them monopolize the entire Sword Dao of the Cloud Heaven Realm!"
"Such demeanor, we Sword Cultivators long for it!"
Amazement, adoration, reverence, fanaticism... countless emotions erupted like a volcano, sweeping through the entire venue.
Young Sword Cultivators felt their blood surge, dazzled and mesmerized, as if they saw the brilliant lighthouse at the end of the Sword Dao path.
Older generation Cultivators were filled with emotion, witnessing history.
Lu Yu watched, his heart surging with excitement.
Fourth Senior Sister's sword strike not only displayed absolute strength that crushed the current era but also a declaration of looking down upon the world.
She, Yun Guying, was another Peak of the Sword Dao in this realm!
[Collected 500 points of Astonishment Emotion Value from Chi Zhengzhen!]
[Collected 600 points of Fanaticism Emotion Value from Yang Yuanrun!]
[Collected 3000 points of Astonishment Emotion Value from Lu Yu!]
[Collected 1200 points of Adoration Emotion Value from Mu Lingxi!]
[Collected 2000 points of Jealousy Emotion Value from Tang Jia Third Young Master!]
...System notifications flooded Yun Guying's mind.
This time, the Emotion Value earned here was truly massive!
One must know that there were many high-level Cultivators here. The higher the cultivation, the higher the Luck, and the more Emotion Value obtained.
Yun Guying's lips curved into an arc.
It was not in vain that she displayed her might in front of others this time!
Lu Yu looked at the figure of Fourth Senior Sister high in the sky ahead.
Leaving a name on the sword stele, standing alongside ancient Immortals... was it really that great?
With his current Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent, and the countless insights into swordsmanship instilled by his System, he might also be able to carve his name at that summit now!
This sword stele doesn't judge by cultivation, but by one's understanding of the Sword Dao at their current cultivation level!
He, a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, possessed supreme swordsmanship and had comprehended supreme-level Sword Intent. Who could compare?
As he was lost in thought, he suddenly felt several particularly distinct gazes fall upon him.
One came from Yun Guying, who had just finished her display and was faintly glancing at him.
In her cold eyes, there seemed to be a silent question hidden: You should also accomplish this soon!
One came from Tang Jia Third Young Master, not far away, whose face was so gloomy it almost dripped black water.
The venom and killing intent in that gaze were so thick they were almost tangible, firmly fixed on Lu Yu.
The draw for the arena had been decided, and the name left on the sword stele had shaken the Universe.
