Chapter 112 Sword Tao Platform_3
It's no wonder others respected her.
Jian Ruyu led the three of them to a grand palace with the characters "Ruyu Hall" inscribed above it.
"This is where I live, Elder Ming, Ningshuang, junior brother, you will stay here and wait for the Sword Tao Conference to begin."
Lu Yi and the two others nodded and moved into Ruyu Hall.
In the following days, Lu Yi practiced his cultivation daily, sometimes using a drop of True Dragon Blood to comprehend the Innate Tao Patterns on the True Dragon Scales, continuously enhancing his Heavenly Thunder True Dragon Technique.
In the previous battle, Lu Yi found that having a strong physical body was truly exceptional—invulnerable to all laws, the body could rival an Artifact, and a single punch could turn anyone below Divinity Transformation into a mist of blood.
This was a feeling other cultivators of Taoist Skills could hardly imagine, unstoppable and invincible.
Lu Yi very much enjoyed this feeling.
Of course, Lu Yi wouldn't give up on other Taoist Skills and continued to cultivate them peacefully.
He occasionally exchanged sword techniques with Jian Ruyu. Unfortunately, after achieving Perfection in sword intent, the progress had been extremely slow. If it continued at this rate, reaching the Domain Realm could take several years, or even more than a decade.
Fortunately, the upcoming Sword Tao Conference would provide an opportunity to save a lot of time.
Time passed, and soon, the day of the Sword Tao Conference arrived.
That day, a massive Sword Tao Platform rose into the air, floating among several Floating Immortal Mountains.
The platform was covered in numerous swords, with sharp and overwhelming sword intent flowing within them. The sword intent soared into the sky, spreading throughout the entire Divine Sword Sect.
A multitude of sword cultivators looked up at the Sword Tao Platform, their eyes filled with fervent desire.
Jian Ruyu, together with Lu Yi, Liu Ningshuang, and Elder Ming, flew towards the Sword Tao Platform.
Apart from them, the sky was crowded with cultivators flying towards the Sword Tao Platform—these cultivators included sword talents who had traveled thousands of miles from other provinces, as well as disciples from within the Divine Sword Sect.
All sword practitioners had comprehended sword intent, and only those who contained sword intent were qualified to participate in the Sword Tao Conference.
But having the qualification was just the beginning; if they weren't strong enough, they still couldn't step onto the Sword Tao Platform.
As the group hovered outside the Sword Tao Platform, Lu Yi saw several figures floating in the air above the platform.
There were middle-aged individuals and the elderly, both men and women.
The auras of these powerhouses were hidden, making them seem like ordinary mortals.
Lu Yi's spiritual sense was extremely sharp. The moment he saw them, he felt a chill run through his body as if he had encountered terrifying creatures.
These elders were incredibly powerful, far surpassing Elder Ming.
Noticing Lu Yi's focus on these cultivators, Jian Ruyu said, "They are the current Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect and several powerful elders, all Great Mahayana cultivators."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yi's pupils constricted slightly. "Great Mahayana cultivators? No wonder they feel terrifying."
After Mahayana, the next stage was the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
Reaching the Tribulation Transcendence Realm usually meant dealing with old demons, who generally did not venture out, focusing instead on preparing for their Ascension Tribulation. They could be considered the most powerful group of cultivators out in the open.
Reaching the Mahayana Realm had a prerequisite: mastering the Domain, embodying the heaven and earth within a square inch, achieving Heavenly Unity—a terrifyingly powerful state with unimaginable combat ability.
Mahayana cultivators, not to say capturing stars or overturning thousands of miles with a wave of their hand, could definitely achieve such feats.
The leading middle-aged man was the current Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect, named Xing Jiuzheng.
He stood aloft as if merging with the universe, with a natural Taoist charm. Merely standing there, he was hard to perceive clearly.
His voice rang out, like the clanging of metal, "The Sword Tao Platform is now open. All sword cultivators, enter the Sword Tao Platform!"
At his words, numerous cultivators, their eyes ablaze, flew towards the Sword Tao Platform.
The first one to reach was a young man whose Cultivation Base had already reached the Nascent Soul Realm. His body was surrounded by a strong current of sword intent, forming a translucent Sword Gang around him as he stepped onto the Sword Tao Platform.
However, as soon as he stepped in, the surrounding swords started humming. Invisible sword intent transformed into a terrifying storm that surged towards him.
Boom!!
The young man was struck and sent flying before he could even react, coughing up fresh blood.
He looked terrified and cried out incredulously, "How is this possible? How can this sword intent be so strong? My sword intent has already reached 20% and a half, and still, I can't step onto the Sword Tao Platform? I don't believe it!"
Hearing this, many cultivators stopped in their tracks, looking at the young man with surprise.
"This... isn't this Sheng Yizhi from the Taixuan Sword Sect? He's famously known as a sword talent in Lin Province. Can it be that he doesn't even qualify to step onto the Sword Tao Platform?"
"20% and a half sword intent, and still not qualified? How strong does one's sword intent need to be to enter the Sword Tao Platform?"
"..."
The crowd murmured among themselves, and some cultivators, disbelieving, stepped onto the Sword Tao Platform again.
Experience more tales on empire
This cultivator's sword intent was even weaker than Sheng Yizhi's, and he was immediately blasted off.
This made many cultivators hesitant.
At that moment, a cold voice rang out, "Hmph! A bunch of trash, do you even think you can step onto the Sword Tao Platform?"
A man in yellow robes, with a long sword on his back and hands behind, drifted towards the Sword Tao Platform.
His body emanated bright yellow sword light, intensely brilliant like the imperial might, stepping onto the Sword Tao Platform in one go. The humming swords tried to release their sword intent but were swept over by his radiant sword light. They all stopped as if in fear.
Many cultivators gasped, "Emperor Sword Intent from the Emperor Sword Sect! This man is Feng Buming!"
"Truly deserving as one of the top five talents on the Young Talents Ranking. His sword intent is just like the emperor's might, sacred and inviolable."
"Even the sword intent of the Sword Tao Platform is suppressed by him. He truly is unimaginably powerful!"
Following Feng Buming, several other yellow-robed sword cultivators stepped forward, laughing, "We follow our senior brother!"
They too released Emperor Sword Intent, though slightly weaker than Feng Buming.
The moment they stepped onto the Sword Tao Platform, their sword intent soared to the sky, resisting the sword intent from the platform, and they walked over to Feng Buming's side.
From just the Emperor Sword Sect alone, six young sword cultivators had managed to step onto the Sword Tao Platform.
Seeing the Emperor Sword Sect cultivators stepping onto the Sword Tao Platform, the confident sword cultivators also used their sword intent as a shield and stepped onto the platform.
Some sword cultivators resisted the sword intent released by the platform, while others were blasted off.
Among them, there were exceptional talents like Feng Buming, whose powerful sword intent suppressed the platform so much that it couldn't even release sword qi.
There were also older generation sword cultivators who stepped onto it as if strolling leisurely.
Lu Yi saw Bai Shaoming as he stepped onto the Sword Tao Platform. Instantly, his sword intent soared, sharp and cold, containing a terrifying murderous aura.
This was the Sword of Slaughter.
Terrible sword intent surged towards him from the sword artifacts around the platform, all of which he neutralized. Bai Shaoming was also struggling, moving slowly and resisting the sword intent as he slowly walked onto the Sword Tao Platform.
In the sky full of sword cultivators, the true number that managed to enter the Sword Tao Platform was merely a handful of hundreds.
Jian Ruyu turned to look at Lu Yi and Elder Ming, lightly laughing, "Junior brother, Elder Ming, let's go in as well."
Liu Ningshuang, not being a sword cultivator, could only watch from the outside, unable to step onto the Sword Tao Platform.
Elder Ming smiled slightly, feeling somewhat nostalgic, "The last time I attended the Sword Tao Conference, I was fortunate enough to step onto the Sword Tao Platform, and here I am again, old man."
Lu Yi smiled faintly, nodding, "Let's go."
The three of them also flew towards the Sword Tao Platform.
