Looking at the secret manual of the Heavenly Fall Sword Technique in his hands.
Luo Cheng felt an overwhelming restlessness that he could not calm for a long time.
Even with a cursory glance, he could tell that these next four forms of sword techniques far surpassed the intricacy of the previous four.
The fifth form, Star Sinking, was at least of the Five-star Sword Technique grade!
If he could master all of these four forms and bine them with his Fourfold Sword Intent, his strength would undoubtedly rise to new heights, allowing him to advance towards higher realms!
After a moment, Luo Cheng regained his posure, closed the manual, and said to Luo Yao:
"Thank you, Sister Luo Yao! Please continue to keep an eye out for the remaining five forms of the Heavenly Fall Sword Technique for me."
The Heavenly Fall Sword Technique was made up of thirteen forms, each stronger than the last.
Even the fifth form was already parable to the Five-star Sword Technique!
Luo Cheng was eager to see what grade the plete Heavenly Fall Sword Technique would be.
And what kind of earth-shattering power it would hold!
"You really are greedy! Do you have any idea how much Miss sacrificed to find this inplete sword manual? Just the Essence Energy Pills alone cost over a million! She scoured the entire Eastern Continent and Western Regions before she found it!"
Hearing Luo Cheng’s words, Amu couldn’t help but grumble softly. She pursed her rosy lips as she continued plaining:
"Because of this, Miss even sought help from the family, which gave the ever-annoying eldest princess a chance to mock her..."
"Amu, you’re saying too much."
Luo Yao cast a light glance in Amu’s direction.
Amu pouted her lips but stopped her words, though her small face remained puffed with indignation.
Luo Cheng, however, was pletely stunned by the news.
A million Essence Energy Pills!
That’s a fortune worth ten billion taels!
Even with all his opportunities thus far, he had only managed to accumulate wealth amounting to a few billion taels!
Nowhere near a tenth of the value of this manual.
At that moment, Luo Cheng felt as though the sword technique manual in his hand weighted heavily in his grasp. He looked up at Luo Yao and said:
"Sister Luo Yao, this..."
Luo Yao let out a sweet chuckle, her alluring lips shimmering as she glanced at Luo Cheng and smiled:
"Now you know how fortunate it is to have me as your older sister?"
Luo Cheng didn’t know how to respond for a moment, exhaling slowly:
"This is far too valuable."
Luo Yao narrowed her eyes, her voice soft, silky, slightly magnetic: "Then how will you thank me?"
"I don’t have a million Essence Energy Pills. Even if I sold myself, it probably wouldn’t be enough." Luo Cheng gave a helpless smile.
"Then why not sell yourself to me? Offer yourself as payment, how about that?" Luo Yao gazed at Luo Cheng, her tongue lightly brushing against her moist lips. Her eyes shimmered like water, and her voice was honeyed and mesmerizing.
Luo Cheng felt his cheeks burning under her gaze, and just as he was deliberating how to respond, Luo Yao suddenly giggled and playfully teased, her delicate fingers lightly tapping Luo Cheng’s forehead:
"Haha, little one, I’m just joking with you. Since we are cooperating in a transaction, I naturally fulfill my promises. Consider it my investment."
"However, you should understand that at Lingyun Pavilion, everything revolves around profit and strength. Even for me, it’s the same."
"For me to mobilize resources like this, there must be results. If you truly wish to thank me, then strive to improve your strength and earn recognition. Only then can I give an account to the family. The greater your fame, the more resources I can mand."
Luo Cheng nodded thoughtfully and asked earnestly, "What kind of fame?"
Amu couldn’t help but interject: "Our Lingyun Pavilion recruits talents categorized by rank. To mand wealth like a million Essence Energy Pills, you’d need to be at least a potential Domain List level talent!"
"For Miss to deploy these many resources, it’s entirely out of her personal expense. If the family were to find out about your talents, they’d laugh at her and possibly even question her judgment!"
Luo Yao tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled: "It’s not that serious. Your first-place victory at the Three Sects Martial Arts petition and your defeat of Hua Jingyang already count as decent achievements."
Luo Cheng shook his head: "Since Sister Luo Yao has such faith in me, I won’t let her down. I will ascend to the Domain List so you can account to your family."
"Domain List?"
Luo Yao paused momentarily in surprise.
Amu was even more dumbfounded. She stared at Luo Cheng and shook her head repeatedly:
"You want to ascend to the Domain List? Do you even understand what the Domain List represents? Even among smaller regions like the Yunlan Domain Group, there are dozens of countries and nine great dynasties! The number of geniuses is beyond count!"
"Among so many geniuses, only a hundred can make it onto the Domain List, each one an exceptional figure. Take Extreme Dao Sect disciple Li Shaofeng, for example. He has prehended Sword Intent, making him a top-tier swordsman, but he only ranks 93rd on the Domain List. At the Eldest Prince’s banquet, you should have seen his power firsthand—just one strike of Sword Intent was enough to leave you unable to resist."
Amu wasn’t looking down on Luo Cheng.
Quite the opposite.
In her eyes, Luo Cheng’s strength was indeed outstanding, extremely impressive.
But only within the Great Yue Dynasty.
pared to all the Awakening Vein realm geniuses in the Yunlan Domain Group, he amounted to very little.
To ascend to the Domain List was as challenging as reaching the heavens.
It was nearly impossible.
Luo Cheng didn’t speak but let out an aura instead.
Buzz!
An ethereal, towering Sword Momentum erupted, stirring the winds and clouds.
Though seated, Luo Cheng’s presence resembled a peerless Treasure Sword unsheathed, brimming with terrifying power.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Amu, who had just advanced to the Awakening Vein Realm, found herself forced to step backward repeatedly under the oppressive energy of the Sword Momentum, her face paling as she stared at Luo Cheng.
Luo Yao’s eyes shimmered briefly before she exhaled softly:
"Fourfold Sword Intent! If I recall correctly, in your fight with Hua Jingyang, you had just prehended Threefold Sword Intent!"
Upon hearing this, Amu gasped sharply, her eyes widening in disbelief: "Fourfold Sword Intent! How is this possible? Are you saying you prehended Fourfold Sword Intent in just half a month since reaching Threefold Sword Intent?"
Luo Cheng retracted his momentum and calmly declared: "Within one year, I will prehend true Sword Intent! And ascend to the Awakening Vein Realm War Power Domain List!"
"prehend Sword Intent within a year!"
Luo Yao’s pupils trembled.
She was deeply shaken by Luo Cheng’s words.
Sword Intent was elusive and enigmatic, difficult to trace.
Those without sufficient talent could spend their entire lives unable to touch the threshold of Sword Intent.
Even someone like Li Shaofeng, a genius in Sword Dao, only managed to prehend true Sword Intent last year at the age of 23!
But Luo Cheng was not only certain about prehending Sword Intent—he was also firm about doing so within a year!
And Luo Yao knew that Luo Cheng had only been cultivating Sword Dao for a year.
To go from starting Sword Dao to prehending Sword Intent in just two years!
If he truly acplished this, it wouldn’t just be a matter of strength.
He would be a plete monster!
"Haha, then I’ll be watching closely. If you really can do it, I might even be so overjoyed that I offer myself to you..."
Luo Yao’s luscious lips curved into a smile. She wasn’t overly emotional and instead joked flirtatiously with Luo Cheng.
Sword Intent was universally recognized as a difficult mastery.
Even top swordsmen wouldn’t guarantee their ability to prehend Sword Intent before reaching a certain level.
Let alone within a fixed timeframe.
Luo Yao just assumed that Luo Cheng’s statements were the result of youthful passion and ambition.
Who hadn’t been impulsive in their youth?
Luo Cheng noticed Luo Yao’s doubt but didn’t bother to explain.
When he finally prehended true Sword Intent.
Everything would have its answer.
After exchanging a few more words, Luo Yao shifted topics and said:
"There’s one more thing. The Fierce Cloud Sect disciple Xiao Lie, whom you disabled at the Eldest Prince’s banquet, is the direct grandson of Fierce Cloud Sect Inner Sect Elder Gao Jinlie."
"Gao Jinlie has already dispatched his five senior disciples to hunt you down. If nothing unexpected happens, they are likely near Linjiang City already, waiting for the right moment to strike at you!"
