At this mont, the Blade Saint’s eyes were fixated on the sword in his hand, which in itself emitted a majestic Sword Intent, seemingly an extrely high ranking Dharma Artifact, perhaps of Rank-10.
The Blade Saint’s lavender eyes pierced through the essence of the sword, a vast and unfathomable Sword Intent seeping out of them, as if it was boundless with no limit to its heaven reaching prowess.
The Sword Lord of the Darkest Night just stood there motionless, waiting for his master to take notice of him. Though he himself knew that it would be difficult for his master to co out of his stance when he was fully imrsed in comprehending the Sword Dao.
He wasn’t the Blade Saint for no reason, after all!
His Sword Dao comprehension was way off the charts!
After so ti, a purple glow appeared on the sword held by the Blade Saint, and as it slowly expanded, covering its surroundings, a loud boom like noise echoed throughout the entire Blade Saint Palace.
*Boom!*
The Blade Saint’s glowing eyes started to dim before the light completely disappeared, and the sword in his hand disappeared into thin air in an instant.
Having noticed the Sword Lord of the Darkest Night’s presence, the Blade Saint side eyed him, indicating for him to co forward.
At the sa ti, a great chair made of precious Heavenly Spirit Wood erged behind him as he sat down on it.
The Sword Lord of the Darkest Night took slow steps towards the Blade Saint, trying to appear as respectful as possible.
"Master."
He bowed slightly, cupping his fists.
The Blade Saint nodded at him before asking in a calm voice, "What is it that you wanted to ask about?"
Hearing his words, the Sword Lord of the Darkest Night took a deep breath as he began to speak.
"Master, is there a Sword Intent in this world that can cut through the fabric of reality and affect existences on a spiritual level?"
He went straight to the point, voicing out his doubt as he slowly looked up.
This question had been bothering him since he experienced that terrifying Sword Intent which annihilated his clone consciousness. His own Nascent Soul was almost slightly damaged because of that.
He wanted to know if a person’s Sword Intent could reach such a terrifying level of existence that it could ignore the physical world and directly attack the spiritual world.
Hearing his question, the Blade Saint appeared to be sowhat surprised.
He raised his eyebrows and asked with an interested tone of voice, "Why are you asking this?"
"I want to know, master."
The Sword Lord of the Darkest Night replied, his tone of voice firm and unyielding.
It may seem like he was being rude to anyone else who saw him, but to the Blade Saint, it was just a child being stubborn about wanting to know sothing.
The Blade Saint was already hundreds of thousands of years old, after all.
"Sword Intent can not only cut through the fabric of reality and pass through physical dinsion, it can do anything you can possibly imagine as well, child. The Sword Dao, like all the other Great Daos, is as versatile as everlasting it is. You just need to reach a certain level of Sword Intent to be able to do this. You’re not at that level yet."
The Blade Saint calmly explained. His words were genuine, as he did not wish any harm to befall his one and only disciple and soone who will bear his legacy at one point.
"As versatile as everlasting it is...what does it an to be everlasting?"
The Sword Lord couldn’t help asking, his brows slightly furrowing in confusion.
At his question, the Blade Saint’s gaze landed on his own, staring at him with deep aning.
"To be everlasting is to be nothing. Nothing lasts forever. The true question here is, how far are you willing to go to be everlasting, to be eternal?"
Hearing his answer, the Sword Lord of the Darkest Night couldn’t help but he at a loss for words. He didn’t know what should he say next.
Watching his silence, the Blade Saint let out a light laugh as he spoke again, "You don’t need to think too much about this stuff right now. You will naturally understand what I an when you beco an Half Immortal. Your main focus should be to breakthrough to the Immortal Ascension Realm as quickly as possible. Don’t let my hopes be in vain."
As he said this, the Blade Saint’s eyes darted outside of the Blade Saint Palace, looking far away into the horizon as if thinking of sothing very complex and deep before turning back to the Sword Lord of the Darkest Night, awaiting his response.
"I...thank the master for guidance."
Saying this, the Sword Lord of the Darkest Night perford a last bow as he turned to leave.
The Blade Saint stared at the departing figure of his disciple, his thoughts drifting away as if he was reminiscing.
Soon after the Sword Lord of the Darkest Night left, the Blade Saint once again took out his sword from nowhere and began to comprehend the essence of the Sword Dao and enhance his Sword Intent.
...
A year later, in the Eastern Continent.
Eternal Peak.
As Tian Yongheng was working with his Dharma Artifacts, a system notification suddenly appeared in front of him which took him by surprise.
[The Sword Lord of the Darkest Night’s hatred towards you has decreased.]
[Current hatred: 3-Star]
"????"
Multiple question marks appeared on top of Tian Yongheng’s head as he tried to figure out what had just happened.
Why did this fellow’s hatred towards decrease?
Did he gain a sudden enlightennt?
At this thought, he hurriedly opened the system mails and skimd through them, trying to find any such mail regarding the Sword Lord of the Darkest Night.
After a few seconds, his eyes finally landed on a peculiar mail.
[Your enemy, the Sword Lord of the Darkest Night, was guided by a great mighty figure. He attained enlightennt and his understanding of heaven and earth has increased.]
So that’s how it is. He was guided by a great mighty figure.
Tian Yongheng thought secretly, scrolling through the mails a bit more only to find another mail about the Sword Lord of the Darkest Night.
[Your enemy, the Sword Lord of the Darkest Night, has glimpsed into the Sword Dao. His Sword Dao comprehension has increased greatly.]
Not only did this fellow’s heaven and earth comprehension increase, helping him in his cultivation, but even his Sword Dao comprehension increased?
I must not fall behind!
Even if his hatred for has decreased, it’s still hatred!
He is still an enemy!
Enemies had to die!
Feeling even more motivated upon seeing the success of the Sword Lord of the Darkest Night, Tian Yongheng decided to complete his auxiliary tasks as quickly as possible and then go back into cultivation.
He figured it would take him another year to make all the remaining Dharma Artifacts recognize him as their owner, and after that, he would cultivate all his skills and abilities to his current level before jumping right back into cultivation.
He won’t exit seclusion until he had attained the Ninth Stage of Tribulation Transcendence Realm next!
With that, he began to work with the Dharma Artifacts even faster, seemingly ignoring everything else around him and becoming fully imrsed.
...
At the sa ti, in the Jingchen Region.
East Coast.
Above the Pristine Waters, approximately a hundred thousand miles away from the East Coast, an invisible flying ship moved around slowly, as if it was searching for sothing.
On the flying ship were none other than Kong Junyu and Ye Ling, both of them occasionally looking back at the direction of the East Coast and then at the direction of the Isle of Heavenly Demons.
"Damn, such a huge commotion, yet we still can’t manage to find that thing!"
Ye Ling couldn’t help but curse out angrily, his Divine Sense constantly sweeping over the surface of the ocean.
"Can you shut up for a mont and be patient? We need to find it no matter what, so why not keep your eyes open instead of your mouth?"
Kong Junyu remarked with a scoff, his Divine Sense also constantly checking their surroundings.
"Your boldness will cost you your life one day. Mark my words."
Ye Ling retorted as he narrowed his eyes.
Before Kong Junyu could say anything, he turned his head around sharply and exclaid in a low voice.
"Found it!"
Following his voice, Ye Ling also turned around imdiately, and what entered his Divine Sense was a small island only around a few hundred ters big, as insignificant as a grain of sand in the vast expanse of the Pristine Waters that stretched throughout the entire Second Great Mortal World.
The flying ship quickly flew towards the island and stopped right above it, as both Kong Junyu and Ye Ling jumped down from it onto the island.
As both of their Divine Senses sweeped through the island, Ye Ling found a hidden Array Formation right in the middle of it which only he could sense.
"Yes...it’s definitely this! We found it!"
