96: Master, are we being too conspicuous?

The reason he could so easily comprehend the Concept of these sword marks was because he himself had been instilled with the understanding of top-tier sword arts and moves.

Now, comprehending these true Sword Dao Concepts naturally became much easier.

The entire venue was silent.

Xie Lingfeng's face turned green.

He had been comprehending here for nearly two hours, only barely sensing a trace of the sword mark's charm.

But Lu Yu? He walked over, looked at it three times, closed his eyes to comprehend for a few breaths, then casually made a gesture, directly collecting the Sword Intent sealed within the sword mark?

What kind of Prodigy is this?!

Lei Jianming was also stunned, looking at Lu Yu as if he had seen a ghost.

Gu Yan's mouth hung open, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence.

“Fellow Daoist Lu... isn't this... a bit too outrageous?”

Lu Yu rubbed his nose.

“Outrageous? I think it's quite simple.”

Everyone: “...”

Simple, my ass!

The vibration of the stone tablet gradually subsided, but the invisible Sword Qi barrier at the mouth of the valley quietly split open, revealing a three-zhang wide gap and the deep, secluded valley path behind it.

The barrier opened.

Everyone's gaze focused on the gap, their eyes burning with fervor.

But no one dared to move.

Lu Yu stood right next to the gap, like a door god.

He glanced at everyone, then smiled: “Everyone, please.”

After speaking, he pulled Lin Wanqiu and was the first to walk in.

Only after their figures disappeared into the valley path did the people outside react, rushing towards the gap in a swarm.

Xie Lingfeng's face was livid, and he was the first to charge in.

Lei Jianming followed closely, and other Geniuses from various Regions also vied with each other, fearing that if they were late, all the benefits would be snatched away.

Tang Jia Third Young Master walked at the very end, looking in the direction Lu Yu had disappeared, his eyes so gloomy they could drip water.

“Go.”

He whispered to the five Demon Region Sword Cultivators beside him.

“Act according to the plan, first find Burial Sword Mountain.”

...Inside Burial Sword Valley, it was another scene entirely.

Swords were stuck densely on both sides of the valley path, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Spiritual Artifacts shimmering with spiritual light, and occasionally even one or two Magic Treasure-level longswords, were stuck diagonally in the earth, their blades still entwined with lingering Sword Intent.

The quality of the Sword Intent floating in the air was also significantly higher; it was no longer the scattered fragments from outside, but complete Sword Intent containing the lifelong comprehension of a certain Sword Cultivator.

Simply capturing and refining any one of them could raise one's Sword Dao cultivation by a notch.

But the danger was also greater.

Some of the swords stuck in the ground would suddenly erupt in attack, their Sword Qi incredibly sharp.

The Sword Intent in the air was not docile either; getting too close could pull one into a kind of illusion, experiencing the original owner's killings or obsessions from their lifetime, and those with unstable minds might even suffer a collapse of their Sword Heart on the spot.

Lu Yu did not walk fast, collecting Sword Intent as he went.

When a spiritual sword suddenly attacked, he didn't even look, simply flicking his hand to unleash a Myriad Manifestations Sword Qi, directly suppressing it.

When Sword Intent charged at him, his Blazing Sun Sword Intent at his glabella flared, incinerating it cleanly, leaving only the purest Sword Dao comprehension for absorption.

Lin Wanqiu followed behind him, dumbfounded.

She knew her Revered Master was strong, but she hadn't expected him to be this strong.

Any one of the dangers in this Burial Sword Valley could give an ordinary Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator a tough time.

But for Lu Yu, it was like strolling through a market.

“Revered Master, over there!”

Lin Wanqiu suddenly pointed in a direction.

Lu Yu turned his head to look, and saw a longsword, entirely ice-blue, stuck in an open space a hundred zhang away. Fine ice crystals condensed around its blade, exuding a biting chill.

Two characters were carved on the hilt: frost radiance.

A Magic Treasure-level spiritual sword, and a High Grade Magic Treasure with innate ice attributes.

Magic Treasures were generally weapons that only Void Return Stage Cultivators could use, and a High Grade Magic Treasure could only unleash its full power when wielded by a Body Integration Stage Cultivator.

It was not surprising that several people were contending for it.

At this moment, seven or eight people were already gathered around the sword, in a standoff.

A Canglan Female Cultivator from Canglan Sacred Sect, Xie Lingfeng from Heavenly Sword Divine Sect, and two Disciples from Star Holy Land.

The four of them faced each other with Sword Qi, none daring to make the first move. There was a circle of ice-blue sword domain around the frost radiance Sword; approaching it would freeze one's Sword Qi, so it was clearly not easy to obtain.

This sword currently contained the Sword Dao Concept of its owner from their lifetime.

“First come, first served!”

The Canglan Female Cultivator said coldly, her longsword vibrating in her hand, Sword Qi transforming into ice lotuses to protect her body.

“What a joke. Treasures are for those who are fated to obtain them.”

Xie Lingfeng sneered, plunging his greatsword into the ground, its heavy Sword Qi causing the ground to crack.

A fight was about to break out.

Lu Yu walked over.

As soon as he moved, the four of them looked over, their eyes wary.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, this sword was discovered by our Region first.”

The Canglan Female Cultivator frowned and said.

“I don't care who discovered it.”

Lu Yu walked to the edge of the sword domain and reached out to touch the ice-blue barrier.

“I'll just ask one question: can any of you break through this sword domain?”

The four fell silent.

This sword domain was formed from the ancient ice Sword Intent inherent to the frost radiance Sword. Even a Soul Transformation Sword Cultivator would be injured trying to force their way through. They indeed had no confidence.

“If you can't break it, then move aside.”

Lu Yu said, pointing two fingers like a sword, gently tapping the sword domain.

From his fingertip, a wisp of scorching Sword Qi, a Fusion of Myriad Manifestations Evolution and Blazing Sun Sword Intent, seeped into the sword domain.

The ice-blue barrier trembled violently, emitting

Five breaths later, the barrier shattered with a bang, dissipating into a sky full of ice crystals.

Lu Yu reached out and grasped the hilt of the frost radiance Sword.

Buzz—!

The longsword hummed softly, resisting for a moment, but was quickly suppressed by the vast Sword Intent within him, becoming docile.

“Not bad.”

Lu Yu weighed the sword and casually tossed it to Lin Wanqiu.

“Here, play with this.”

Lin Wanqiu clumsily caught it, feeling the icy Sword Intent emanating from the blade, then looked at the four people next to her whose eyes were almost spitting fire, feeling a little embarrassed.

“Revered Master... isn't this a bit inappropriate?”

Lu Yu clapped his hands.

“What's inappropriate? They can't take it anyway, leaving it there would just be a waste.”

Xie Lingfeng's face was livid, veins bulging on the hand holding his sword, but in the end, he didn't dare to make a move.

The Sword Intent attainment Lu Yu displayed when breaking the sword domain just now had already exceeded the scope of his comprehension.

If he fought head-on, he would most likely lose.

“Let's go.” Xie Lingfeng gritted his teeth and turned to leave with the Heavenly Sword Disciples.

The Canglan Female Cultivator and the people from Star Holy Land also gave Lu Yu a deep look before retreating.

Only after everyone had left did Lin Wanqiu quietly ask: “Revered Master, are we being too ostentatious?”

“Ostentatious?”

Lu Yu smiled: “Wanqiu, you must remember, in a place like this, being low-key is useless. The stronger you are, the fewer people will dare to provoke you. Otherwise, every Tom, Dick, and Harry will want to step on you, and it'll annoy you to death.”

As he spoke, he looked up towards the depths of the valley.

There, the outline of a sword-shaped mountain peak could vaguely be seen, piercing the sky.

The mountain peak was densely covered with swords, from the foot to the waist, spiritual light shimmering and Sword Qi soaring into the sky.

Burial Sword Mountain.

“The real treasures are there.”

A hint of anticipation flashed in Lu Yu's eyes.

“Let's go, let's see what that broken Immortal Sword fragment looks like.”
