Chapter 146: The Heaven-Shaking Sword Qi of Startling Rainbow Valley!
Startling Rainbow Valley.
With Startling Rainbow Valley as the center, the Sword Qi soared into the sky within a radius of tens of miles.
The Heaven-connecting Sword Qi at the top of Startling Rainbow Valley was extremely eye-catching, extremely dazzling under the nourishment of the Spiritual Qi.
One could vaguely see the strong gales carried by the Sword Qi.
Occasionally, there would be a spirit bird pa.s.sing by, but it was only grazed by the strong gales for a moment before it was instantly cut into two halves, and then it was stirred into a b.l.o.o.d.y mist by the Sword Qi.
It was soul-stirring.
Looking at it made one’s scalp go numb.
Under Startling Rainbow Valley, many cultivators looked at the peak of the mountain with burning eyes.
The people who came here were all sword cultivators who had cultivated bitterly for many years.
None of them were stupid.
Anyone could see that the legendary inheritance of the Ancient Sword Immortal was under the Heaven-shaking sword energy.
To obtain the inheritance in the cave abode…
One had to first go up the mountain.
However, the distance from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, which was only a few thousand feet, was extremely difficult to cross. It was as if it was an insurmountable chasm.
If it were any other time, a Golden Core stage cultivator would be able to fly on his sword and arrive in the blink of an eye.
But now, even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator would find it difficult to even move an inch under the Sword Qi.
The entire Startling Rainbow Valley was enveloped by the terrifying Sword Qi. The air was filled with invisible Sword Qi. Every blade of gra.s.s, tree, sand, and stone in the mountain had been modified by the Sword Qi.
Even an ordinary tree had been strengthened and was as hard as a celestial wood.
Most importantly, the invisible pressure could slow down the circulation of a cultivator’s spiritual power.
A Nascent Soul stage cultivator gave up riding his sword and climbed to the top of the mountain with difficulty.
With every step he took, several cracks appeared on his robe.
As he continued to walk up the mountain, more and more cracks appeared on his robe, and even traces of his body could be seen.
In the end, he gave up completely and quickly retreated from the mountain.
“This Sword Qi and Sword Intent are truly astonishing. With my strength of the advanced stage of the Nascent Soul stage, I can’t even cover one-tenth of the distance.”
The cultivator sighed as he looked in the direction of the mountain peak, his heart filled with unwillingness.
After he heard the news of the Sword Immortal’s cave, he even specially cultivated a sword technique that he hadn’t practiced for a few days.
He thought that he would at least be able to walk halfway up the mountain, but he didn’t expect that under the pressure of the sword qi, he would actually be like a mortal, and could only rely on his physical strength to climb up the mountain.
It seemed that sharpening one’s spear at the last minute and taking advantage of opportunities wasn’t a good idea.
Obviously, he wasn’t the only one who had the same experience and feeling.
Many cultivators also sighed with emotion:
“I, a Nascent Soul sword cultivator, actually didn’t even make it to one-third of the mountain.”
“The test of the Sword Immortal’s Cave abode is too difficult. It’s only the path to the cave abode, but it’s already so dangerous. G.o.d knows what other shocking killing formations are in the cave abode. I’m not going to try anymore. My life is more important.”
“Even a Soul Formation master would find it difficult to reach the top.”
From the foot of the mountain, it could be clearly seen that two very eye-catching figures were climbing up one-third of the mountain.
These two people were exuding a terrifying aura that terrified the low-level cultivators.
They were clearly the patriarchs of the advanced stage of the Soul Formation stage!
However, even though they were cultivators of the Soul Formation stage, it was still difficult for them to get close to one-third of the mountain peak. Their speed was like that of a snail.
“The closer this Sword Qi gets to the mountain peak, the more terrifying it is. Reaching one-third of the mountain peak already makes it difficult for the Soul Formation stage patriarchs to move even an inch. If they were to really stand on the mountain peak, how much pressure would they have to face?”
While the cultivators were sighing with emotion, two beams of light landed at the foot of the mountain.
Then, two young men appeared.
Both of them were very handsome.
They were both at the Dharma Idol realm!
The aura of the Dharma Idol realm that they emitted shocked the surrounding cultivators, and they made a path for them.
“Hiss!”
“Such young Dharma Idol cultivators? When did such a young peerless genius appear in our Southern Territory? Or are there two of them?”
“It seems that they are much stronger than Li Li, the Young Master of the Li family who claimed to be the leader of the young people of the Southern Region!”
“They can’t be compared. Li Li’s imposing manner and demeanor can’t be compared to them. Moreover, Li Li’s cultivation base has already been shaken by Sacred Lord Brahma’s zither tune, and he can’t break through for the rest of his life.”
“Yes, Li Li has already become trash…”
The cultivators were all amazed.
However, the two young men did not care about their comments. They only looked solemnly at the Sword Qi on the mountaintop.
“This Sword Shadow seems ordinary, but it actually hides the edge of the sword.”
“The sharp sword has no edge!”
“It looks like it must be Sword Immortal Cheng He’s Sword Qi. Only Sword Immortal Cheng He’s cave abode can have such sharp Sword Qi.”
Jianglu saw the huge Sword Qi at the top of the mountain and spoke with certainty.
When sword cultivator Lou Hongzhi landed, his eyes were staring at the huge Sword Qi on the mountain.
Before Jianglu could finish his words, he rushed to the top of the mountain.
A cultivator said, “Early phase of Dharma Idol. At most, he will reach the mountainside before he has to turn back.”
Before he could finish his words, his eyes suddenly widened, and his expression was very interesting.
“F*ck, it can’t be? How can he be so fast?”
The other sword cultivators were also stunned.
They saw the two beams of light enter the Sword Qi-filled Startling Rainbow Valley as if they were walking on flat ground.
They didn’t stop when they pa.s.sed the mountainside.
They only slowed down, and they didn’t seem to be having a hard time.
“Hiss!”
All the cultivators sucked in a breath of cold air.
They were all extremely shocked.
If it was an ordinary cultivator, they wouldn’t be in such a state. However, as sword cultivators, they knew the pressure that sword cultivators faced on this mountain.
Ordinary cultivators didn’t have the support of their own Sword Intent. Even if their cultivation was sky-high, they would still be rejected by those who were much stronger than sword cultivators.
Even for sword cultivators with excellent sword techniques, walking on the mountain wasn’t an easy task.
This was because the pressure under the enormous Sword Qi was related to their own sword technique realm.
“Where did these two people come from? With such powerful strength, even an ordinary late-stage Dharma Idol cultivator can’t compare to them.”
“Too terrifying. They must be from a famous sect.”
While the cultivators were discussing, a powerful flying ship flew over from afar and landed heavily on the ground.
It raised a lot of dust.
It seemed that the person who came was very anxious.
Someone recognized the flying boat at a glance.
“Look, that’s the flying boat of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets isn’t here for business, right? Why are they here too?”
A very handsome young master walked down from the flying boat. That person held a folding fan in his hand and started to wave it in an ostentatious manner.
However, when he walked, he seemed to be swaying, as if there were some stones in his shoes that had b.u.mped into him.
“So it’s the Young Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, Yu Hongye!”
“The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets has countless magic treasures and is the richest in the world. Yet, he still wants to come to this ancient sword mechanism cave abode to s.n.a.t.c.h opportunities from us?”
“It doesn’t matter. Although he can deduce the secrets of the Heavens, he is only in the Nascent Soul stage…”
“Don’t spout nonsense if you don’t understand. The Young Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets has clearly entered the Dharma Idol realm. That aura is clearly the aura of someone in the advanced stage of the Dharma Idol realm.”
“What? The last time I went to the abode of the Carefree Grand Sage, he was clearly in the Nascent Soul stage. When did…”
“Look, his footsteps are a little strange. Why does he look like a woman who has just gone through p.u.b.erty…”
“Don’t spout nonsense if you don’t have any evidence. Be careful not to invite trouble.”
Yu Hongye was overjoyed.
She muttered to herself after disembarking from the flying boat, “I’ve finally caught up.”
She had also heard what that cultivator had said just now.
She smiled faintly.
Senior Liu was really too fierce, torturing her for an entire day and night.
Yu Hongye endlessly praised Liu Changgong’s endurance.
If she hadn’t begged Liu Changgong to stop and quickly escape, who knew how long it would have taken?
Although she was very tired, her gains were also enormous.
Her meridians had been widened a lot, and her cultivation had jumped from the early Nascent Soul stage to the advanced Dharma Idol stage.
“Senior’s cultivation is really high. Just having s.e.x with me has given me so many benefits. If I were to accompany you every day in the future…”
Yu Hongye didn’t dare to imagine how terrifying her cultivation would be.
