701: Chapter 701 The Laws of the Sword!

"Fighting Arena Number Four, Su Qingwan wins!"

From high in the sky, Peak Master Jian Wuya's voice rang out.

As his voice fell, there was a flash of golden light. Su Qingwan and Yue Qing appeared before the group.

Su Qingwan's face was slightly pale, but she still maintained an elegant posture and bowed slightly to Peak Master Jian Wuya.

Peak Master Jian Wuya looked at Su Qingwan with a smile, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Qingwan, you did well."

"Thank you for the praise, Peak Master."

Su Qingwan said softly, her voice gentle and calm.

Peak Master Jian Wuya offered a few words of encouragement and then sent her to heal her injuries.

A healing Medicinal Pill flew from his palm and landed steadily in Su Qingwan's hand.

Su Qingwan took the pill, thanked him, and walked to the side to sit cross-legged and begin refining it.

Pulse Master Lu Chenyuan, meanwhile, was treating Yue Qing on the side.

He pressed his palm gently against Yue Qing's forehead, and a stream of gentle True Qi surged into her body, dissolving the remnants of the ink-colored sealing power within her.

A moment later, Yue Qing woke up.

She opened her eyes and saw Pulse Master Lu Chenyuan sitting beside her, looking at her with a gentle gaze.

"lineage master... I let you down."

Yue Qing looked at Pulse Master Lu Chenyuan and said dejectedly.

Her voice carried a hint of self-reproach and disappointment.

She had thought she could win a victory for Diluo Valley, but she hadn't expected to fall short at the final hurdle.

Pulse Master Lu Chenyuan chuckled. "It's fine. In competition, friendship comes first and winning second. There is no shame in losing once. Besides, Su Qingwan is indeed very strong; she has actually mastered the Book Sect's Imperial Character Art. Even within the Book Sect, very few Disciples can successfully Cultivate this secret technique before reaching 500 hertz. It is no disgrace to lose to her."

His tone held no blame, only comfort.

Hearing this, the guilt in Yue Qingying's heart lightened slightly.

Afterward, Pulse Master Lu Chenyuan spoke a few more words to encourage Yue Qingying.

With a wave of his hand, a Medicinal Pill flew from his palm and landed in Yue Qingying's hand.

"Go and heal your injuries."

"Thank you, lineage master."

Yue Qing took the pill, bowed respectfully, and then stepped aside.

She found a quiet corner, sat cross-legged, placed the pill in her mouth, closed her eyes, and began to regulate her breathing.

True Qi flowed slowly through her body, repairing the wounds left by the battle.

At that moment, Peak Master Jian Wuya sent a sound transmission to Pulse Master Lu Chenyuan, his voice carrying a hint of amusement.

"Old Man Lu, it seems that in this round of competition, my Holy Land's Disciples are still superior."

Peak Master Jian Wuya's voice echoed in Pulse Master Lu Chenyuan's mind.

"Brother Jian, your Holy Land's prodigies are indeed powerful."

Pulse Master Lu Chenyuan sighed with emotion.

"In this battle, I am well and truly defeated."

His gaze swept across the seven Heavenly Ladder Clearers of the East Courtyard—Qin Yan, Lin Ruoxi, Long Aotian, Feng Wuji, Su Qingwan, Huang Jiuli, and Beichen Xing.

The seven of them each had their own unique characteristics and methods.

Some cultivated Imperial Dao techniques, some had condensed Supreme Sword Intent, some had Mental Energy reaching the Half-step Grandmaster Realm, and some were monstrous triple cultivators of Qi Refining, Body Refining, and spirit...

Every single one of them could be called a Prodigy.

This generation of Diluo Valley was the strongest in ten thousand years.

The opening of the Land of Emperors Fall had attracted many geniuses who would have otherwise gone elsewhere, bringing the overall quality of this generation's Disciples in Diluo Valley to an unprecedented height.

Four prodigies who had mastered Supreme-Grade Intent would be enough to sweep through their peers in any generation.

Yet even such a "strongest in ten thousand years" team still lost more than they won against the Taixuan Holy Land's East Courtyard.

This was just the Disciples of the Taixuan Holy Land's East Courtyard, and this was the result—if the most outstanding Disciples from all Four Courtyards of the Taixuan Holy Land were to assemble, Pulse Master Lu Chenyuan estimated that aside from his Disciple Senior Sister Luo Qinghe, the other six on their side would likely all be defeated.

As soon as this thought surfaced, a surge of indescribable, complex emotions welled up in Pulse Master Lu Chenyuan's heart.

There was, after all, still a massive gap between Diluo Valley and the Taixuan Holy Land.

"Brother Jian, I accept my loss. This enlightenment sword bamboo is yours."

With a wave of Pulse Master Lu Chenyuan's hand, a lush green bamboo appeared out of thin air before everyone.

The sword bamboo was about three feet tall, entirely emerald green, with distinct segments.

The bamboo stalk was straight and upright, like the blade of a sword; the bamboo leaves were long and sharp, like sword edges.

The entire sword bamboo emitted a faint green glow.

Within the glow, Sword Dao Laws faintly circulated—those Laws were like silver threads, winding, flowing, and dancing upon the bamboo stalk.

enlightenment sword bamboo—an eleventh-grade Spirit Medicine that can help a Martial Artist quickly comprehend Sword Dao Laws, it is a Supreme treasure dreamed of by sword dao experts.

The moment the sword bamboo appeared, a mysterious aura spread out.

The several sword dao Disciples nearby—Lin Ruoxi, Yue Qing, and the others—felt these Sword Dao Laws, and a trace of obscure sword dao knowledge suddenly appeared in their minds.

This knowledge was profound and obscure, impossible to see through or grasp.

It was like looking at flowers through a fog, or the moon's reflection in water.

"What is this?"

Lin Ruoxi was filled with doubt.

She tried hard to understand that knowledge, but the harder she tried, the more confused she became.

This knowledge was completely different from the sword dao she had learned.

No, it wasn't different; rather, the level was too high for her to comprehend.

"Sword Dao... can be like this?"

Her mind was in a state of chaos.

Not just her, but Yue Qing and the other Disciples who cultivated the sword dao all felt the same distress.

This obscure knowledge caused them to feel lost regarding their own sword dao.

"Is the sword dao I've learned correct?"

"Is the path I'm taking the right one?"

"What exactly is the essence of the sword dao?"

Questions surfaced one after another in their minds.

They couldn't find the answers.

Confusion began to spread.

Seeing this, Peak Master Jian Wuya frowned.

He waved his hand, and streaks of Sword Intent shot out from his palm, enveloping the sword dao Disciples.

These Sword Intents were sharp yet gentle, carrying a soothing power.

They permeated the Disciples' minds, wrapping, suppressing, and sealing that obscure sword dao knowledge.

Only after being enveloped by the Sword Intent did the discomfort and confusion in their minds fade away.

Lin Ruoxi let out a long breath, the cold sweat on her forehead slowly evaporating.

"That was close."

She felt secretly relieved.

If it had been any later, she might have truly suffered Qi Deviation.

"This power of Law is too profound for you."

Peak Master Jian Wuya looked at them and spoke.

"If you try to comprehend it now, you will only go astray."

"I have already sealed this trace of insight for you."

"Once you Breakthrough to the Eighth-Rank Grandmaster Realm, the Seal will automatically lift."

"At that time, you can use it to gain some insight; perhaps you will achieve some gains."

His voice was calm and gentle, yet it carried an unquestionable authority.

Sword Dao Law?

Lin Ruoxi suddenly realized. No wonder this sword dao knowledge was so profound, so profound that it even made her feel lost; it turned out to be Sword Dao Law.
