Of course, Ling Xiao raised his Sword Intent to the Eighth Level of Minor Success, consuming a total of ten Sword Intention Wandering Souls.
There’s still a distance before completely cultivating Minor Sword Intent to its peak.
He calculated that he might need at least twenty more Sword Intention Wandering Souls to successfully break through.
As his Sword Intent improved, he grew ever closer to the source point.
The couple and the bald head witnessing this scene were stunned, their mouths agape.
They were here, Ling Xiao was here too.
They had no ti for cultivation amid the scramble for Sword Intention Wandering Souls.
Yet Ling Xiao was clearly growing stronger.
His whole being had transford into a sharp blade, unafraid of the enshrouding ominous wind.
"It seems there’s no chance now, he’s so close, any new Sword Intention Wandering Souls will surely be snatched by him. Let’s wait for a bit longer, if it doesn’t work out, we’ll start cultivating,"
the old man said to the old woman.
"Agreed."
They had to enhance their strength; otherwise, they’d fall increasingly behind in this competition.
Another shichen passed, and more Sword Intention Wandering Souls began to erge.
It’s likely because Ling Xiao was nearing the Sword Intent source point, causing the Sword Intention Wandering Souls’ violent anger.
A total of forty to fifty Sword Intention Wandering Souls charged at him.
If it were the old Ling Xiao, he might have had to avoid them.
But this ti, he directly captured thirty of the Sword Intention Wandering Souls.
Twenty escaped.
Among them, five were snatched by the couple, and three by the bald head.
The rest fell into the hands of the other hundreds of Martial Artists present.
Shangguan Hong also acquired two.
"That’s about enough."
Ling Xiao could feel that after this wave of rampant eruption, there were no more Sword Intention Wandering Souls left, only the terrifying Sword Intent bursting from the source point.
"Ti for cultivation."
He sat cross-legged, intending to break through his Sword Intent to the Great Achievent Realm in one stroke.
Thirty Sword Intention Wandering Souls were more than enough.
This ti, a full three shichen passed.
No more Sword Intention Wandering Souls flew out.
The couple began to cultivate, knowing the Sword Intention Wandering Souls had likely all been depleted.
The bald head also chose to cultivate.
At this mont, Ling Xiao’s eyes slightly opened.
In that instant, terrifying Sword Intent emanated from his eyes, piercing through the darkness, seeing through everything at the source point.
There lay a beautiful girl.
Beside the girl, a black Wraith stood quietly.
In the Wraith’s hand was a sword; its overwhelming Sword Intent was precisely erupting from him.
"That’s not a Wraith, it’s the girl’s Martial Soul!"
From Lingxiao’s Taiji Eye, the truth was plainly revealed.
Others couldn’t see what he could see.
What exactly Martial Souls were had never had a definite answer.
But Ling Xiao knew many Martial Souls actually possessed life, particularly humanoid and beast Martial Souls, this was most evident.
Judging by the Martial Soul’s tenderness towards the girl, Ling Xiao knew this Martial Soul was actually protecting her.
But a Martial Soul was still a Martial Soul; despite having a certain level of self-awareness, it couldn’t make complex judgnts.
It did not know Shangguan Hong intended to rescue the girl.
It couldn’t determine whether one was a friend or foe.
Thus, anyone who attempted to take the girl away was attacked by it.
Perhaps the long period had caused the Martial Soul to be separated from the girl’s body for too long, nearing the brink of collapse.
This resulted in the strange occurrences at Ghost Villa.
"This Martial Soul is no ordinary one; Shangguan Hong’s junior sister possibly has even greater aptitude than him."
Ling Xiao clicked his tongue and then slowly stood up.
Sword Intent soared to the sky!
The first level of Great Sword Intent had been successfully cultivated!
Not only that, his Cultivation Level was pushed forward due to the breakthrough in Sword Intent, and he was now at the Pinnacle of the Third Cave Sky Realm.
He was on the verge of breakthrough at any mont.
What he needed was perhaps just a battle!
After all, Ling Xiao was aware that battle significantly aided his Cultivation breakthroughs.
Of course, aside from the Cultivation Level, the greatest benefit Ling Xiao gained was that his Soul Judgnt acquired a brand new ability.
Heaven Burning!
God Tomb!
Immortal Pot!
Holy King!
This ti it was— Sword Spirit!
This change seed to have arisen due to the enhancent of his Sword Intent.
The Sword Spirit ability could instantly convert all of Ling Xiao’s Sword Intent into the most terrifying destructive power and unleash it.
It could cause severe damage to both body and soul.
Among Ling Xiao’s Soul Judgnt, both Heaven Burning and Sword Spirit were offensive techniques.
One obviously had a broader range, while the other focused on lethality, being more helpful in one-on-one battles.
Finally, Ling Xiao reached the Sword Intent source point.
He initially thought he’d have to undergo a tough battle to rescue Shangguan Hong’s junior sister.
However, this process turned out to be surprisingly easy.
He tried communicating with the Martial Soul and unexpectedly succeeded.
With the Mountain and River Martial Soul’s powerful assistance, he actually managed a complete conversation with the Martial Soul using his Soul Power.
"Block a sword from , and I’ll trust you!"
The Martial Soul said coldly.
Despite largely believing Ling Xiao’s words, it seed doubtful of his capability to protect the girl.
"Bring it on."
Ling Xiao stood there, gesturing with a wave of his hand.
The Martial Soul suddenly transford into a slender red Longsword, then, with a sharp whistling sound, charged at Ling Xiao.
The entire Ghost Villa gathered all its Sword Intent into one point, exerting imnse pressure on Ling Xiao.
But Ling Xiao remained unmoved.
His pitch-black eyes transford into the intertwined black and white of the Tai Chi Eye.
"Sword Spirit Eye!"
As the voice slowly erged from his mouth.
The Tai Chi Eye spun intensely.
Then, a terrifying aura to the extre shot out from Ling Xiao’s eyes.
This was a blow that gathered all the Sword Intent in his body! It encompassed his terrifying Soul Power!
Boom!
A loud explosion erupted within Ghost Villa; all the outside cultivators stood up.
"What the hell?"
"What exactly is that kid doing inside?"
"Is he mad?"
Yet Shangguan Hong was extrely tense at this mont; he knew Ling Xiao had reached the place where his junior sister was trapped.
And this earth-shattering sound was likely created by Ling Xiao to rescue his junior sister.
"You must succeed!"
Shangguan Hong prayed in his heart.
Sword Intent source point.
The Martial Soul had vanished.
Ling Xiao appeared sowhat embarrassed.
"What on earth is this girl’s Martial Soul, how is it so powerful? Could she be one of the Twelve Immortals?"
Ling Xiao wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth.
He had blocked the Martial Soul’s attack.
But the opponent clearly held back.
Based on his estimation, this girl’s Martial Soul was likely more formidable than the Seventh Celestial Realm Martial Artists.
And this was with the girl’s Cultivation Level restraining the Martial Soul’s power, otherwise, it might be even stronger.
Anyway, Shangguan Hong’s entrusted task was accomplished.
He even, due to the intentional aid of the Martial Soul, finally advanced from the Third Cave Sky Realm to the Fourth Cave Sky Realm.
This could be considered a blessing in disguise.
