Chapter 385: Sword Intent Astonishing the Soul
Ye Yun had comprehended four of the five laws, causing his cultivation level to skyrocket. He formed his spiritual consciousness and reached the Foundation Establishment stage, something he never anticipated. He knew Su Hao’s Life Rune alone couldn’t have granted such a breakthrough—the true catalyst was the Heart of Immortals and Demons.
The Heart of Immortals and Demons never ceased to amaze him. Originally, Ye Yun estimated it would take years to reach Foundation Establishment at his current cultivation speed. But after absorbing Su Hao’s Life Rune, the Heart released five laws: lightning, fire, ice, spatial laws, and sword intent. The first four propelled him into the Foundation Establishment stage, multiplying his strength dozens of times over.
Only the sword intent remained.
Sword intent represented the distilled essence of all blades under the Heavenly Dao. It could manifest in countless forms, and only those with affinity might grasp one.
Du Jianyin had touched the edge of sword intent but never truly mastered it. Even so, his aura sharpened into that of a lethal blade. This sliver of understanding allowed him to fight Foundation Establishment experts while still in the Qi Refining stage—a common feat for those dabbling in sword intent.
Now, a complete sword intent lay before Ye Yun, purified by the Heart of Immortals and Demons into its purest form. Mastering it would elevate his swordsmanship beyond imagination. Even with his current realm, a single strike could shatter mountains.
The sword intent hovered in the depths of his soul like a tiny blade glowing faintly. Its gentle light radiated an indestructible sharpness.
Ye Yun steadied his breath. This sword intent was pivotal—understanding it would multiply his power tenfold, rendering all defenses useless before his blade.
As his mental intent brushed against it, the sword intent suddenly shifted. The razor-sharp aura vanished, replaced by a vast, righteous energy that filled his soul with solemn grandeur.
The sword intent now embodied heavenly justice, like a divine blade piercing the heavens, its light purging all darkness.
Before Ye Yun could process this change, the righteous aura dissolved. A twisted, malevolent intent surged forth—proud, isolated, and brimming with hatred. It viewed the entire world as its enemy, craving destruction to quench its fury.
Ye Yun’s mind nearly fractured. Memories of past humiliations flooded him, fueling a desire to slaughter every tormentor. His hatred expanded—toward heaven, earth, everything. Murderous intent threatened to burst free and ravage the world.
A cooling stream suddenly flowed from his brow. Black-and-white light seeped into his soul, dissolving the hatred. Before him floated the fifth law—the sword intent—now calm and gentle.
Drenched in cold sweat, Ye Yun shuddered. Without the Heart’s intervention, he’d have become a mindless slaughterer.
“Terrifying…righteousness and evil separated by a thought,” he murmured, steadying himself. His mental intent revisited the sword intent.
The gentle light remained. This time, the sword intent felt familiar—a long-lost part of himself returning.
Without resistance, it merged into his being.
Ye Yun sat meditating, sensing the transformation.
Time trickled by.
When he finally opened his eyes, a sharp glint shot through the air. He stood, his aura now a blade—unyielding and lethal.
His presence shifted again, radiating righteous majesty as if he towered above the earth, divine light banishing all shadows.
Another shift: pride and malice twisted his aura into that of a fallen divine sword opposing creation itself.
Then stillness. Birdsong and insect hums echoed clearly for miles.
Ye Yun exhaled, a smile forming.
At the first level of Foundation Establishment, he’d mastered lightning, fire, ice, spatial laws, and the pinnacle of offensive techniques—sword intent. His power now dwarfed his former self a hundredfold. Even Murong Wuqing posed no threat.
Confidence surged. The Great Qin Empire’s countless experts meant nothing—he’d claim the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Secret Vault. Within lay a spirit pill to heal Su Ling.
“How did your cultivation leap so drastically?!” A shocked voice erupted from the Soul Turning Tower.
Ye Yun smirked. “Ancestor, I’ve reached Foundation Establishment. Your second soul will reunite with you soon.”
The Ancestor of the Sword Path fell silent for ten breaths before roaring with laughter. He’d seen Ye Yun battle fifth and sixth-level Foundation Establishment experts while still in Qi Refining. Now, with Foundation Establishment solidified, Ye Yun stood unmatched in his realm—perhaps even challenging early Golden Core cultivators.
(Of course, the Ancestor didn’t know Ye Yun had grasped five laws—else his expectations would’ve soared higher.)
“My second soul lies suppressed in the Kunyuan Mountains’ heart, within the Great Qin Empire,” the Ancestor said urgently.
Ye Yun waved a hand. “Later. Waking Ling’er comes first.”
“Fool! These tasks don’t conflict! The Heavenly Sword Sect’s Secret Vault is in those very mountains!”
Ye Yun’s eyes sharpened. “We leave in three days.”
