Chapter 167: Chapter 102: Cave Void Realm Protector
Just after the tribulation, Elder Ming, along with Wu Qingfeng and other Divinity Transformation Realm Supreme Elders and Peak Masters, all drew closer to Lu Yi.
At this moment, the lazy voice of the Ling Luo Peak Master sounded, “Don’t get too close, don’t disturb him.”
The crowd nodded slightly, stopping not far from Lu Yi, and everyone quietly watched him, their eyes flickering with plex expressions.
Wu Qingfeng looked at Elder Ming beside him and asked, “Elder Ming, what do you think?”
After the tribulation, the wrinkles on Elder Ming’s face had reduced significantly, and his white hair remained as usual, but his aura was not as gloomy as before.
His aura was restrained, much like that of an ordinary old man, pletely concealing the power he had displayed previously when he had split the Heavenly Thunder with one sword.
Elder Ming, looking at the sword intent surrounding Lu Yi, said softly in admiration, “Kiddo Lu is a heaven-sent genius in the Sword Dao. This sword intent is profoundly mysterious, and also mixed with quite a few other conceptions. Even I cannot fully understand it. A sword skill refined from such a profound conception would probably be earth-shattering.”
Upon hearing this, many cultivators, including Wu Qingfeng and other Divinity Transformation cultivators, were continuously amazed.
“Indeed, he is an Immortal Seed of our White Cloud Sect. Merely at the Foundation Establishment Realm, yet he can prehend such sword skills, truly terrifying.”
“This sword skill, even though not yet fully formed, already makes my heart tremble. If it were fully formed, it would probably be extremely terrifying.”
“…”
As people conversed, Lu Yi’s prehension gradually neared its conclusion.
His mind was filled with Tao patterns, including the Immortal Tao Pattern from the Immortal Sword Seed, the exotic patterns derived from the Heavenly Thunder, and the Sword Patterns condensed from the sword intent.
All these Tao patterns interwove and eventually merged into one, forming a single sword skill.
This sword skill was of the sort that even if the heavens and earth were collapsing before one’s eyes, one would still dare to draw the sword and strike. It was a reflection of the sword holder’s courage, tenacity, and indomitable spirit.
As the sword skill took shape, the sword intent around Lu Yi slowly converged.
Lu Yi opened his eyes and saw the crowd surrounding him, even noticing Elder Ming, who appeared much younger, and he was momentarily stunned.
The Heavenly Tribulation was over?
At this moment, the voice of Ling Luo Peak Master sounded, “Kiddo, how do you feel?”
Recollecting himself, Lu Yi then smiled and said, “Disciple feels very good. Having witnessed Elder Ming’s tribulation, I have deeply prehended and created a sword skill.”
Elder Ming stroked his beard and let out a big laugh, “Hahaha, my tribulation led to your epiphany, truly… you really deserve to be a prodigy blessed with the presence of an Ancient Demon.”
Lu Yi humbly smiled, “Elder Ming, you flatter me. Congratulations on your breakthrough to the Cave Void Realm.”
Upon hearing this, Elder Ming nodded slightly, also revealing a trace of a smile.
Having been mired in the Divinity Transformation Realm for thousands of years, a breakthrough was indeed a joyous occasion for him.
Then, Elder Ming, looking at Lu Yi, remarked, “This is all thanks to you, kiddo. Without you, I might not have made the breakthrough.”
Hearing this, everyone else was taken aback, even the Ling Luo Peak Master and Liu Ningshuang were bewildered and looked at Lu Yi with astonishment.
The Ling Luo Peak Master eyed Lu Yi suspiciously, “Say, kiddo, what exactly did you do?”
Lu Yi, somewhat embarrassed, smiled shyly, “I simply gave Elder Ming a little help.”
Everyone inside was surprised. A little help? Such a small help couldn’t possibly have allowed a powerful sword cultivator, long stuck in the Divinity Transformation Realm, to advance to the Cave Void Realm.
What Elder Ming said next shocked everyone even more. He turned to Lu Yi and said, “Kiddo, you have exceptional talent and the bearing of an Immortal, but your current strength is still too weak. As an old man, I had already thought before my breakthrough that if I succeeded in advancing to the Cave Void Realm, I would protect you for a thousand years until your strength entirely surpasses mine.”
At those words, the sky went silent.
Whether it was Wu Qingfeng and the others, or the Ling Luo Peak Master, even Liu Ningshuang, Donggong Ming Yue, and the other disciples, they all looked at Elder Ming in disbelief.
Who was Elder Ming? Having advanced to the Cave Void Realm and mastered powerful sword intent, he was definitely considered a formidable figure even within the Cave Void Realm!
Such a Great Cultivator, willing to be a Protector for Lu Yi?
Everyone was profoundly shaken.
Wu Qingfeng hesitated and then said, “Elder Ming, you are…”
Elder Ming waved his hand, “I have made up my mind. Of course, when Lu Yi is within the sect, Ling Luo will take care of him. There wouldn’t be any issues. I will follow him when he leaves the sect. As for the Book Storage Pavilion, let Chuyun guard it.”
Seeing Elder Ming’s firm resolve, Wu Qingfeng found it hard to say more and could only nod his head, but his expression when looking at Lu Yi became even more curious. What sort of help had Lu Yi provided to Elder Ming that made the latter decide to protect him?
Not just Wu Qingfeng, everyone else was extremely curious as well.
After Elder Ming’s tribulation, everyone dispersed, and Lu Yi followed the Ling Luo Peak Master, Liu Ningshuang, and Donggong Ming Yue, as they flew toward Ling Luo Peak.
In the air, the Ling Luo Peak Master still looked puzzled as he scrutinized Lu Yi and asked, “Kiddo, what exactly did you do for Elder Ming to make him willing to protect you? After his breakthrough, he’s the only cultivator in the Cave Void Realm in our White Cloud Sect.”
Donggong Ming Yue was also very curious, blinking her large eyes which sparkled like those of a sprite, and asked, “Yeah, Senior Brother, Elder Ming is even willing to protect you, you must have quite the influence!”
Liu Ningshuang also looked at Lu Yi, and while she didn’t speak, her curiosity was just as immense.
