498: The violent method

Lin Ye was speechless.

The two options Liu Qingxian mentioned were clearly intended to force him to choose the first one.

And he didn't know if it was just his imagination, but when mentioning the first method, Liu Qingxian's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a faint upward curve appeared at the corners of her mouth.

"Alright, I understand. You choose the first one, correct?"

Before Lin Ye could even make a choice, Liu Qingxian had already chosen for him!

"Senior, I think the second one is better..."

"You don't need to say more. I already know what you are thinking. As a Sword Cultivator, one truly needs to have your mindset of overcoming obstacles. The Disciples in the Sect should all learn from you."

"..."

So, it just has to be the more violent one, right?

What's the point of talking about two choices? Bullshit, you've already decided everything, so what is there for me to choose?

Lin Ye was a bit speechless, but now that things had come to this, he naturally had no choice. The Chongxiao Sword Intent was of great use to him, and he couldn't afford not to learn it.

The Elder on the side cautiously glanced at their Old Ancestor.

As expected!

The Immortal Ancestor was just like the rumors said: she held grudges!

Even though that gentle method could also lead to a quick comprehension of the Sword Intent, the Immortal Ancestor insisted on using the more violent one.

Thinking of this, the Elder looked at Lin Ye with a hint of sympathy. Although he wanted to help Lin Ye, he dared not send a voice transmission to him right under Liu Qingxian's nose. Otherwise, if he were discovered, wouldn't he end up beaten black and blue, just like the Sect Master?

He could only let this future Sword Child fend for himself.

Seeing Lin Ye remaining silent, Liu Qingxian spoke again: "It seems you are ready. Very well, let us have you comprehend the Sword Intent now!"

Whoosh!

Before Lin Ye could answer, Liu Qingxian acted immediately. With a light wave of her jade hand, a beam of sword light erupted and struck directly onto the body of the Chongxiao Sword.

Boom!!!

Following the deafening roar, the Chongxiao Sword was stimulated by the sword light and began to shake violently, causing the ground and even the entire Heavenly Sword Sect to tremble.

Rocks began to fall from many of the mountains.

Some Disciples with weaker cultivation, caught off guard, fell directly to the ground.

The light of the Chongxiao Sword grew increasingly intense, brilliant and dazzling. In no time, all the light between heaven and earth was obscured by the Chongxiao Sword, and a peerlessly tyrannical Sword Qi directly sliced open the firmament.

A massive crack in the Void Realm stretched across the sky, with uncontrollable turbulence constantly intertwining within it.

Standing before the Chongxiao Sword, Lin Ye felt that Sword Intent, and the Three Thousand Sword Domains emerged directly behind him! The Scourge and Pacify Sword Art also began to take shape!

Two embryonic forms of Sword Intent that distorted the Void Realm gradually radiated powerful Sword Intent behind Lin Ye, rivaling the Chongxiao Sword.

Boom, boom, boom...

As the three streams of Sword Intent clashed, various phenomena soared, and the cracks in the Void Realm became ever more numerous.

A moment later, all three streams of Sword Intent vanished, and even Lin Ye's figure disappeared.

But Liu Qingxian showed no surprise. She simply waved her jade hand, and the Chongxiao Sword shot out a sheet of sword light. That sword light transformed into a celestial screen, and Lin Ye's figure appeared within it.

Lin Ye was currently in a special world.

Before him were endless mountain ranges, and above the firmament, the sun and moon shone together while the stars twinkled.

And within those sprawling mountains stood a stone sword that pierced through heaven and earth—it was none other than the Chongxiao Sword!

Everyone in the Heavenly Sword Sect gazed at the celestial screen.

The Chongxiao Sword within the screen suddenly erupted with unimaginable might, and immediately afterward, numerous figures appeared above the firmament.

"Hmm?! Is that my Revered Master? How could his figure appear there?"

"That is Ancestor Wang! I have seen his portrait before!"

"These are the various Seniors of our Heavenly Sword Sect! Has the Chongxiao Sword manifested the figures of people from the past?"

"Judging by the aura on them, it seems to be the Mahayana Realm! In other words, is this a trial for the Divine Child Lin?"

"..."

Hearing the discussion, the Elder asked Liu Qingxian: "Immortal Ancestor, is that a trial for the Divine Child Lin?"

"That is correct."

Liu Qingxian nodded and said in a calm tone: "The figures manifested by this Chongxiao Sword are those from the past who comprehended at least fifty percent of the Chongxiao Sword Intent, and that naturally includes me."

Hearing this, the Elder turned his gaze to the celestial screen.

Sure enough, among the crowd, Liu Qingxian stood at the very top, side by side with several mysterious figures.

One must know that within the Heavenly Sword Sect, those who could comprehend over fifty percent of the Chongxiao Sword Intent were at the very least Supremes now!

Each and every one of them possessed incredibly stunning talent!

And those few people at the very top were the ones who had comprehended the Perfection of the Chongxiao Sword Intent.

Just seeing this scene made the Elder's scalp tingle; he truly did not know what Lin Ye would think when facing these people directly.

Although those people's cultivation had been suppressed to the Mahayana Realm, as fellow Prodigies, they were naturally the type of people who were invincible in the same realm.

The Mahayana Realm cultivation was already enough for them to display terrifying Dao of the Sword cultivation.

The Elder spoke with some difficulty: "Immortal Ancestor, is this not a bit too much? If he cannot pass this trial, wouldn't Lin Ye..."

"Rest assured."

Liu Qingxian seemed to be in a good mood and explained: "This trial is inherently impossible to pass, after all, he has to face so many Prodigies of the same realm. I just want to see how far he can go. Moreover... suffering heavy injuries in here will not affect his real self."

"It is just that he will have to endure a severe beating."

The Elder: "..."

As expected, their Old Ancestor holds grudges!!!

Inside the celestial screen, Lin Ye looked at everything appearing before him. He was only dazed for a fleeting moment before quickly reacting.

To quickly comprehend the Chongxiao Sword Intent, the answer was naturally combat!

No wonder Liu Qingxian said this was a violent method; it was more than just violent, it was simply cruel.

Unimaginable Sword Intent erupted from the bodies of those phantoms.

Even if they were in the Mahayana Realm, it did not affect their comprehension of the Dao of the Sword!

Sword Cultivators were inherently the most troublesome type of people in the same realm; their attacks were sharp, possessing a spirit that was invincible and unyielding.

If one was not careful, it wouldn't just be a matter of heavy injury; one would die and dissipate on the spot.

Lin Ye took a deep breath.

Whoosh!

The long sword behind his back unsheathed. The moment he grasped the hilt, Lin Ye's entire sharpness was revealed.

The wisp of Sword Intent blooming from his body made the Cultivators watching the celestial screen feel pain in their eyes.

Just looking at it would cause one to be injured by the Sword Qi.

It was evident what terrifying strength Lin Ye possessed on the path of the Dao of the Sword.

Just at this moment, one person slowly walked out from among the dozens of phantoms. He was a middle-aged man with a face as calm as an ancient well, and the long sword in his hand swayed slightly, emitting a clanging sword hum.

"That is Elder Wang Ziyu! He should be in seclusion right now, right?"

The Disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect immediately recognized the person's identity.

Wang Ziyu stared intently at Lin Ye, the Sword Intent on his body constantly accumulating.
