Chapter 358: Brave as a Lion

"Sword Intent!"

Seeing this humanoid sword intent, Jiang Yun’s mind suddenly became clear.

"These swords must have sensed the existence of this humanoid sword intent, hence their reaction."

"Perhaps, the purpose of this Sword Cave is not just for practicing sword techniques, but for people to comprehend the Sword Intent!"

"So, can I understand that in order to leave this Sword Cave, one must defeat these thousands of swords with Sword Intent?"

"Whether it’s correct or not, it’s worth a try!"

Thinking about this, Jiang Yun flipped his wrist, and a blue sword appeared in his hand.

Since he started practicing, he had never used a sword seriously.

Even the two swords on his body were snatched from two disciples of the Seeking-Tao Sect years ago.

One sword is of fire attribute, and the one he holds now contains the Thunder Sword Qi.

As for Sword Intent, although Jiang Yun had once killed a sword cultivator from the Hundred Herbs Valley with Sword Intent, he was merely imitating without true understanding.

Standing up and looking at the thousands of swords outside violently shaking, Jiang Yun’s eyes revealed a strong fighting intent.

With a wave of his hand, carrying water transformed from black stone and the humanoid sword intent within the water, he stepped out from this safe position.

As Jiang Yun finally appeared, the shaking of the thousands of swords became even more intense.

Suddenly, a crisp sound of swords ringing constantly echoed.

All the swords suddenly started emerging one after another from the ground.

In an instant, the illusions that Jiang Yun saw when he first entered the Sword Cave now became real.

Countless swords shimmering with dazzling light and exuding sharp energy formed a vast sea of swords, surrounding Jiang Yun tightly.

Observing this sea of swords, Jiang Yun’s eyes sparkled with wonder.

He could sense that these swords were in a tangled state.

They seemed to want to attack him but also felt afraid, hesitating to approach.

After a brief thought, Jiang Yun understood.

"They fear not me but the humanoid sword intent!"

"Because that Sword Intent belongs to the Chop-Sky Sword!"

"The Chop-Sky Sword is hidden inside Fence Tao Peak, it must be the strongest sword, which is why these other swords are afraid of it."

"But the purpose of this Sword Cave is for the sword-cultivation disciples to practice their sword skills, that’s why they are in a complicated situation now."

"In that case, I will accept this Sword Intent!"

As this thought came to mind, Jiang Yun not only collected the water transformed from the black stone, but also visualized a path of sword light in his mind.

Following this path, Jiang Yun waved his Thunder Sword and it unexpectedly attacked all the other swords on its own!

"Buzz!"

The sword light with blue thunder streaked through the void like lightning, heading towards the tens of thousands of swords!

This scene would leave even Gu Bulao amazed, he would give Jiang Yun a thumbs up and commend him for his bravery!

Jiang Yun’s guesses about Sword Cave were mostly correct.

The Sword Cave is not only a place for sword training, but also for understanding Sword Intent for sword practitioners.

Sword techniques can be practiced, but understanding Sword Intent relies on personal insight and cannot be helped by others.

Even Fang Yuxuan, as the top inner disciple under Peak Lord Wei Zhengyang’s guidance, couldn’t understand Sword Intent when facing Jiang Yun, showing how difficult it is.

Jiang Yun mistakenly believed there were only two ways to leave the Sword Cave.

The first way is to understand Sword Intent.

The second way is to defeat at least ten swords using your own sword skills in one go.

Jiang Yun thought he needed to defeat ten thousand swords, so he chose to face them all.

Jiang Yun’s bold actions angered the tens of thousands of swords.

Suddenly, a snake-shaped long sword let out an angry cry and attacked Jiang Yun’s sword light.

With a leader in place, the rest of the swords naturally followed suit.

Even though Jiang Yun swung a sword with humanoid sword intent, he didn’t fully understand it. These swords were deliberately left here and are extraordinary.

Therefore, Jiang Yun was no match for the alliance of these ten thousand swords.

Seeing the overwhelming sword energy coming at him, his expression changed suddenly, and he quickly retreated to a safe position.

The swords naturally stopped, but still gathered around, trembling violently.

"No, there are too many, I definitely can’t handle them all. I’ll have to choose a few swords to deal with!"

Jiang Yun took another step forward, and a sword light flashed again, this time covering nearly a hundred long swords.

As he swung the sword, the hundred long swords immediately thrust towards Jiang Yun.

Even though Jiang Yun retreated to safety in a sorry state, this time, his eyes lit up.

Because he noticed that each of the one hundred long swords attacking him had a different trajectory in the air.

One hundred swords, with one hundred different paths, just like his control over spirit energy.

"These paths should be the so-called sword moves!"

This unexpected discovery made Jiang Yun happy, realizing that what he lacked was sword moves!

So, in the following time, Jiang Yun tirelessly launched attacks against the thousands of swords.

Over time, Jiang Yun’s eyes shone brighter, able to capture more and more trajectories of each sword, clearer and clearer.

What truly excited him was the increasingly clear understanding of the sword forming in his mind!

。。。

The last month quickly passed, and as tomorrow approached, marking the beginning of March, the cultivators in the entire Mountain-Sea World were already in a frenzy from the night onwards.

All the disciples, regardless of race or sect, gathered within their own groups and sects, looking up at the sky where the eight rays of light had been present for three months.

They were all waiting for the appearance of the ninth ray of light.

Inside the Seeking-Tao Sect, all the disciples had also gathered around the huge square at the sect’s entrance, with ninety-nine people standing above the square!

They were the chosen ones to go to Mirage, with disciples from the Blessed Land Realm making up the majority, while only ten elders from Sky Reaching Realm were present.

Surprisingly, even the Peak Lords of the Seeking-Tao Five Peaks were standing around the square.

Although they were qualified to enter Mirage, for some reason, none of them had gone.

In a corner of the square, Dongfang Bo and two others were also not on the list.

At this moment, they all wore anxious expressions, their eyes scanning the crowd back and forth.

Naturally, they were looking for Jiang Yun.

Three months ago, since Dongfang Bo explained Mirage to Jiang Yun, they haven’t seen Jiang Yun again, thinking he’s in closed-door cultivation.

But now, with Mirage about to open, Jiang Yun is still missing.

If they miss this chance, they’ll have to wait another ten years!
