158: Chapter 158 Cultivating Ye Wudi, Containing Sword Power

As his voice faded, Hun Tiandi took the lead. With a flicker of his figure, he swept directly toward the base of the mountain.

In a few leaps, he landed outside the Fallen God Stream.

Liu Ling, escorting the Ye Siblings, followed closely behind...

The entrance lay between two towering black boulders that pierced the clouds, forming a path several zhang wide. Several figures were visible around the entrance.

"Let's go..." After landing, he walked straight toward the entrance of the Fallen God Stream, with those behind him hurrying to keep up.

At the entrance, a scattered few were resting with medicine baskets by their sides, appearing to be gathering herbs in the Fallen God Stream. However, as soon as Hun Tiandi's group approached—

These people opened their eyes as if sensing something, their gazes fixed sharply on Hun Tiandi, a flash of surprise crossing their eyes.

Although this dangerous location attracted many, these people were not true experts.

It was because ordinary people would never come here.

Though surprised, they did not speak and immediately withdrew their gazes. Under the eyes of the crowd, the five of them entered the Fallen God Stream without obstruction, stopping only when they reached a secluded spot.

"General Ye Wudi, this is the place for your arduous training. Do you have the confidence to complete it..."

Hun Tiandi gazed at the Fallen God Stream, a dangerous forbidden zone, then turned to look at General Ye Wudi behind him, his eyes resting on that determined face.

"Brother Yun, I have confidence. In truth, General Ye Wudi has long seen clearly that Brother Yun is nurturing him, and this is his chance to transform into a dragon and soar into the sky. If the two siblings miss this, if we cannot grasp it, then we have no value."

General Ye Wudi clenched his fists, filled with unyielding determination.

Hun Tiandi nodded with satisfaction. The thin poisonous mist here was not yet too dense, though it somewhat obstructed vision.

After taking the antidote pill provided by Liu Ling, the group continued deeper, finding a secluded valley.

"We will stay here for now. General Ye Wudi, circulate your cultivation technique," Hun Tiandi said, looking at General Ye Wudi.

General Ye Wudi nodded and activated the technique within his body, a not-insignificant aura radiating from him.

"Xuan-tier Low-grade?" Hun Tiandi frowned slightly. The level was too low and would be detrimental to his future growth.

General Ye Wudi replied helplessly. The siblings had been dependent on each other for survival; being able to cultivate at all was fortunate enough, and they dared not hope for higher-grade requirements.

Hun Tiandi closed his eyes slightly, memories of the Hun Clan's techniques flashing through his mind as he selected a suitable technique and Dou Technique. A quarter of an hour later, he opened his eyes.

He pressed a finger to the center of General Ye Wudi's brow, and a vast amount of information flooded into his mind.

"Switch to the technique I have passed to you. From now on, Elder Yan will accompany you in your arduous training. Unless you fall into life-or-death danger, Elder Yan will not intervene to save you..."

Hun Tiandi said coldly.

"Understood, Brother Yun." General Ye Wudi immediately sat cross-legged to comprehend and then switched his cultivation technique.

"Everyone, disperse!"

They carved out several caves within the valley to serve as their lodging.

Inside a cave.

"Teacher, since Ye Lingxi possesses the Jade Pure Spiritual Body, how should I cultivate her?" Hun Tiandi asked.

"Heh heh, pass her this technique...!" Elder Dan drifted out from the purple ring, his palm turning to manifest a pale green scroll.

Elder Dan looked at the Green Immortal Scripture in his hand, his eyes appearing lost in thought.

"Green Immortal Scripture? Earth-tier Mid-grade technique!" Hun Tiandi looked at the scroll in his hand, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes. The Hun Clan technique he had previously passed to General Ye Wudi was Earth-tier High-grade.

However, he did not inform General Ye Wudi of this.

He immediately summoned Ye Lingxi, placed the Green Immortal Scripture scroll in her hands, and instructed her to cultivate diligently.

Ye Lingxi nodded happily and then departed.

Hun Tiandi fell into deep thought. The cultivation issues of the Ye Siblings were resolved; now, it was time to focus on himself.

His Killing Sword Intent was perfected; the next step was to nurture his Sword Intent.

Sitting upright on the stone bed, he began to close his eyes and nurture his Sword Intent. What was Sword Intent?

Hun Tiandi carefully contemplated scenes of his past sword practice. Unconsciously, he stood up, gripped the abi sword, and began to wave it incessantly within the valley.

The Basic Sword Art and the Ten Thousand Sword Art were executed casually.

Having experienced the siege by the Starfall Pavilion and the Xiao Family, he felt an increasing thirst for strength. Although he could kill those of higher rank by relying on various trump cards—

—it was ultimately not his own strength. Being at the level of a four-star Great Dou Master was simply too pathetic.

Only by becoming powerful could he fear no one and master his own destiny; otherwise, he would only end up as a stepping stone for others.

The Killing Sword Intent within his body became active. As the long sword danced, a wisp of his intent surged forth. Following the movement of the sword, a mysterious and profound momentum began to swirl around Hun Tiandi.

"Eh? Is the Master about to have a breakthrough?" Liu Ling and Yan Xing watched the sword-practicing figure, exclaiming in wonder.

As the sword intent merged into the sword technique and into nature, influencing the surrounding environment, a momentum of doing as one pleased erupted.

Like wind, thunder, and lightning, or vast clouds and torrential rain, it seemed that all things in heaven and earth could not escape the capture of this momentum.

Was this Sword Intent? This was Hun Tiandi's own Sword Intent.

The moment he cultivated the Sword Intent, Hun Tiandi's thoughts became clear, and the speed at which time passed while he swung his sword seemed to slow down.

His sword strikes were faster. Sword Intent was not just that; it could also be used to suppress others with sheer momentum.

However, this was only the initial stage of Sword Intent. Only when the Sword Intent truly merged with the nature of heaven and earth, utilizing all things, would it be the true mastery of Sword Intent.

Sword Intent, borrowing the momentum of heaven and earth; with one strike, the winds and clouds shift, and the pressure is like mountains and seas.

Hun Tiandi suddenly stopped, the vast Sword Intent withdrawing back into his body. He opened his eyes abruptly, a sharp gleam flashing within them.

"Congratulations, Master, on comprehending Sword Intent." Liu Ling and Yan Xing stepped forward to salute.

A smile curled on the corners of Hun Tiandi's mouth; he had not expected to comprehend Sword Intent so quickly.

From what the two told him, Hun Tiandi felt a sense of emotion; seven days had already passed.

Boom...

Suddenly, a terrifying aura erupted from General Ye Wudi's cave, drawing the attention of the three.

"It seems General Ye Wudi has succeeded in switching his cultivation technique. Next comes the arduous training..."

Hun Tiandi spoke, and the two beside him nodded.

"Yan Xing, you will supervise General Ye Wudi's training. Squeeze his potential ruthlessly and let him grow as quickly as possible..."

Hun Tiandi instructed.

Liu Ling prepared medicinal liquid to temper General Ye Wudi's body and repair his injuries.

The two nodded in agreement.

Soon, General Ye Wudi walked out of the cave. With a robust physique and a determined face, a powerful aura radiated from his entire body. This was because he had only just begun switching his cultivation technique and had not yet fully integrated it with himself; otherwise, the aura would not have been exposed.

"Let's go, kid Ye. Your bitter days have arrived." Yan Xing gave a cold, sinister laugh and, grabbing General Ye Wudi, swept out of the valley.

With a wave of his large sleeve, a mountain of medicinal herbs landed before them; this was a gift from the Dou Master Liu Family.

Liu Ling gazed at the medicinal herbs before him, his expression dazed. He smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that what followed would be frantic pill refining and alchemy.

Hun Tiandi patted Liu Ling's shoulder and then departed with a meaningful look.

"Hmph, it's just refining medicine and pills. I am a noble Seventh-Rank Alchemist. Refining pills makes me happy; I am the best Alchemist..."

Under this self-suggestion, Liu Ling gathered up the herbs.

He walked toward the cave with firm steps, full of vigor and high spirits, determined not to leave seclusion until all the medicinal herbs had been refined into pills.

Inside the cave, Hun Tiandi flipped his hand to take out the alchemy canon, frantically deducing various wine recipes in collaboration with Elder Dan.

One perfect wine recipe after another was deduced.

In the future, he would only need to collect the medicinal herbs to brew various spirit wines. With the help of the spirit wine, his cultivation would surely progress rapidly.
