"Hmm, you two seem to be getting along just fine."
"Who is getting along—" Just when the two of them turned to retort at Noah, they saw the half-smile on his face. The smile sent shivers down their legs. Xin Yan even wanted to break the hug with Noah, but the powerful grip of the man held her in place.
"Hmm~ Why did you two stop? Please, go on." Noah spoke with an encouraging smile, but they knew better than to believe that smile.
"Ah! I don't have ti, I have to enter the sword realm today!" Xin Yan fidgeted in his arms, trying to get away.
"I have a world to take care of. I will be back later." Elysia took a step back and disappeared into the void, leaving the two of them alone in the room.
Noah also did not stop her and looked down at the rabbit trapped in his arms. "I don't mind you teasing each other, but don't try to harm each other in any way."
"We know that much as well…" Xin Yan muttered under her breath but nodded along with his words. Xin Yan spoke, eager to advance in her sword cultivation. "I should leave; who knows how long my seclusion might take."
"Mhmm, go on, I know you can do this." Noah's smile turned warm and more natural as he planted a kiss on Xin Yan's head before letting go of her.
A mont of dejection flashed across her face, but Xin Yan knew that she had to take this chance. She was also happy at Noah's confidence in her abilities. 'Not even my own family was ever this supportive or confident in as he is.'
A lone tear escaped her eye, which she quickly wiped away before turning to leave.
"One more thing," Noah's voice paused her step as she looked back at him. Seeing the serious look on his face, she also beca serious.
"I know that you always look for ways to help , and I am sure you would have the heart to look for a sword intent that would do the sa, but…" She listened attentively as Noah spoke softly, his voice carrying emotions she had never seen from him, compelling her to rethink her approach.
Xin Yan's eyes widened as Noah went on, but then her shock was replaced by happiness and determination. By the ti Noah finished, Xin Yan looked at him with a tender gaze. "You are right. I don't know when my ambitions changed over ti, but don't worry—I know what to do now. I will make sure that I don't disappoint either of us."
Noah did not say anything more and walked out of the mansion, following behind Xin Yan.
Soon, they parted ways to deal with their own tasks. Noah entered the mysterious pagoda to practice his techniques and also increase his magic reserves.
Xin Yan, on the other hand, moved to her personal training ground that no one besides her and Noah was allowed to enter.
Soon, Xin Yan arrived at the training ground, which was nothing but a makeshift area she had created by asking Elysia to bring the extre ice from the north.
She had even asked Noah to seal the effects of the ice in a targeted area, making it impossible for others to notice these changes.
Only Ming Ye and Wuhan knew about the changes in the sect, as they could cover the whole peak with their soul sense.
They were so scared they thought the sect had rged with so mysterious domain that had changed one of the peaks.
Clearing her mind, Xin Yan cald her excited heart and sat down to enter a ditative state.
Her heartbeat, still affected by Noah's lingering touch, gradually cald down. Xin Yan found herself focusing on the sword placed in her lap.
Ti gradually passed as Xin Yan felt the darkness before her closed eyes shift. This was the sign that she was slowly getting in contact with the Sword Realm.
Even though it was great news for Xin Yan, she did not let it get to her head and ss up her efforts.
She directly ignored the feeling and focused on improving her sword qi.
While she was slowly comprehending her accomplishnts in sword dao, traces of sword qi left her body.
Slowly but surely, these traces condensed and beca more visible and tangible.
Xin Yan knew that she was at a crucial step in her training and carefully moved towards the next step.
Once the sword qi reached its peak state, with no room for improvent, she started to insert part of her will into the sword.
Moving from sword qi to sword intent required a person to insert their pure heart intent, which was not clouded by any unnecessary thoughts, and synchronize with it.
The clearer the intentions of the user, the stronger the sword intent they wielded. Xin Yan, before today, had been in a constant fight with herself.
She was filled with doubts about her own talent, then she was scared of the uncertain future, and after marriage, her life had beco hell. She could barely wield her sword, let alone focus on training. Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire
She felt all those burdens lifting one by one since the day she t Noah, and now that she had no chains holding her back, Xin Yan made up her mind to break anything that dared to co between her and her wish of having a happy family.
Boom!
Suddenly, an explosion sounded from within her body as Xin Yan felt her mind getting clearer and clearer. The things she could not understand about swords before now ca to her naturally.
Her stagnant sword qi condensed even more until it breached through the realm of Sword Intent on its own.
Xin Yan slowly opened her eyes when she felt herself standing on sothing cold yet ethereal at the sa ti.
"So this is the legendary Sword Realm…" Xin Yan muttered as she looked at the vast existence that spanned so far that even her eyes could not see.
The endless river filled with sword intent and the people in the form of dark shadows moved slowly at their own pace without any care for others. 'Everything is as Noah said.'
