15: Entering the Sunset Mountains

A month later, in the open space of the Small Courtyard, Zhang Daobai held a green longsword and practiced the Golden Thunder Evil-Breaking Sword Technique.

Amidst the dancing sword shadows, wisps of golden lightning continuously flashed in the Void Realm, while Zhang Daobai flickered rapidly across the Small Courtyard.

Although the distance of his instantaneous movement was only a few meters, it had already reached a level unattainable by ordinary people.

After a while, Zhang Daobai teleported back to the center of the Small Courtyard and stopped his movements.

"Thunderous Instant Flash has also reached Minor Achievement!"

Zhang Daobai panted heavily, murmuring to himself with a face full of smiles.

With the help of his talent, Complete Understanding of the Way of the Sword, and Lin Luoxue, Zhang Daobai's progress in sword technique cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching Minor Achievement in just ten short days.

On the contrary, regarding his footwork, even with Lin Luoxue's one-on-one guidance, it still took him a month of cultivation to reach Minor Achievement.

"You have now completed the Seven-Turn Foundation Establishment. Combined with your sword technique and footwork reaching Minor Achievement, you are capable of rivaling an ordinary Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator. You are now ready to enter the Sunset Mountain Range for tempering."

Seeing this, Lin Luoxue, who was standing nearby, spoke up to comment.

Zhang Daobai turned around and smiled, "This is all thanks to your guidance."

Over the past month, besides guiding Zhang Daobai's cultivation, Lin Luoxue had been working hard on her own cultivation, and her cultivation level had now recovered to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

"I don't have many cultivation resources left, and you lack combat experience. It's time for us to head out."

Lin Luoxue touched the bracelet on her hand, looked up toward the Sunset Mountain Range, and suggested.

"Sure, but I don't recommend staying in Yunshan City to train in the Sunset Mountain Range."

Zhang Daobai first nodded, but then quickly shook his head.

"Are you worried about the Cloud Sword Sect?"

Lin Luoxue immediately understood the concern in Zhang Daobai's heart upon hearing this.

"Yes. There are many Cloud Sword Sect Disciples training in the Sunset Mountain Range and Yunshan City. If they happen to recognize you,"

"with Yun Lingxiao's Early Stage Golden Core cultivation, it would be difficult for us to escape his pursuit," Zhang Daobai explained with a nod.

"And don't think about using a disguise to hide your appearance and fool them,"

"mainly because your aura is too unique. Moreover, within the Cloud Sword Sect's territory, those who have comprehended Sword Intent can be counted on one hand. It will be hard for you to stay hidden."

Listening to Zhang Daobai's words, Lin Luoxue pondered for a moment and felt that what he said made sense.

Thus, she said, "Then we shall leave the Cloud Sword Sect's sphere of influence. However, before we go, we must first obtain the blazing red lotus and the red lotus blazing fire."

Hearing this, Zhang Daobai agreed, "Alright. You currently lack five elements spirit items, so there's no reason to give them up. As for the Cloud Sword Sect, it won't be too late to return for revenge once we become powerful."

As the saying goes, for an immortal Cultivator, a hundred years is not too late for revenge.

Once Lin Luoxue and he reach the Nascent Soul Stage in the future, they can return for retribution, and the Cloud Sword Sect will be at their mercy.

"But before we leave, I can collect some interest from them first."

Zhang Daobai suddenly thought of a good idea, and a wicked grin couldn't help but appear on the corners of his mouth.

"What do you plan to do?"

Seeing this, Lin Luoxue couldn't help but ask curiously.

"You'll find out when the time comes."

Zhang Daobai didn't say it outright, shaking his head mysteriously.

Seeing that Zhang Daobai didn't want to talk about it, Lin Luoxue didn't press further. She said, "If there's danger, you don't have to act alone."

"Don't worry, there's no danger," Zhang Daobai said with a confident smile.

"Alright then, let's enter the Sunset Mountain Range tomorrow."

Seeing how confident Zhang Daobai was, Lin Luoxue said no more.

After finishing their conversation, Zhang Daobai hurried back to his room and closed the door to start preparing his tools for revenge.

Outside, Lin Luoxue looked at the closed door, her heart filled with anticipation about what plan Zhang Daobai actually had.

The next day arrived quickly, and Zhang Daobai packed his things early, ready to set off.

Today also happened to be the last day of the lease for the Small Courtyard. Since he didn't plan on returning after going to the Sunset Mountain Range, he didn't renew the rent for the following month.

"Let's go."

Lin Luoxue also quickly came out of her room and gave Zhang Daobai a slight nod.

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Daobai took Lin Luoxue into his spirit taming space, then opened the door and left the Small Courtyard.

After returning the keys to the Small Courtyard, Zhang Daobai left Yunshan City and headed straight toward the Sunset Mountain Range.

Along the way, many Loose Cultivators were heading toward the Sunset Mountain Range just like Zhang Daobai, but most of them traveled together in small groups.

A young Cultivator traveling alone like Zhang Daobai was rare indeed.

Soon, while traveling, Zhang Daobai keenly sensed many malicious gazes coming from behind him.

Some had even begun to follow him secretly.

Seeing this, the other Loose Cultivators nearby remained silent in tacit understanding, their eyes flickering with mocking smiles or greedy, fierce glints.

A trace of killing intent flashed in Zhang Daobai's eyes regarding those ill-intentioned people behind him.

He was no longer the trash who could only choose to flee and hide when faced with pursuit.

As long as there were no Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators among them, he was confident he could handle it. Besides, if he couldn't, Lin Luoxue could back him up.

"It's time to see some blood."

Zhang Daobai didn't have the slightest fear of killing; instead, he felt a bit of anticipation in his heart.

Yunshan City was not far from the Sunset Mountain Range. Before long, as the surrounding trees became denser, Zhang Daobai truly entered the Sunset Mountain Range.

After entering the Sunset Mountain Range, the people following Zhang Daobai quickened their pace and began to surround him.

Seeing this, Zhang Daobai was in no hurry. While searching for a suitable battlefield, he took the sword out of his Storage Pouch.

This green longsword was a gift from Lin Luoxue, a High Grade Magical Artifact. It was considered the worst piece in Lin Luoxue's collection.

It wasn't that Lin Luoxue was unwilling to give Zhang Daobai something better, but rather that the higher the grade of a Spirit Sword, the more spiritual power was required to activate it.

A High Grade Magical Artifact Spirit Sword was just right for the current Zhang Daobai and was the most suitable weapon.

When Zhang Daobai took out the qingfeng sword, the Robber Cultivators surrounding him were not afraid; instead, their eyes lit up, and the greed in their gaze intensified.

"A High Grade Magical Artifact! We're rich! We're rich!"

"Junior, you can't handle such a treasure. Better hand it over to me!"

"Heehee! Little brother, don't run away. Big sister has something good to show you."

"A fat sheep! Today, luck has finally turned for me, One-Knife Wang! Haha!"

Tempted by the High Grade Magical Artifact, these Robber Cultivators quickened their steps, rushing toward Zhang Daobai impatiently.
