Chapter 1125: Chapter 1028: The Cyan Lotus Sword Unwilling to Serve Wen Ping
Following closely, Wen Ping stepped onto the Suspended Stone, slicing apart all incoming Cyan Lotus Sword Intent as if he were a god of slaughter.
In just a moment, he reached the opposite bank!
After completing all this, Wen Ping closed his eyes, allowing himself to calm down.
When he opened his eyes again, the murderous intent akin to that of a god of slaughter was gone.
"I should have realized earlier that Li Bai, the Cyan Lotus Sword Immortal, pursued the Immortal Path, and the Immortal Path is ruthless. Without a determined resolve, how could one make a name for themselves?" Wen Ping took a deep breath and continued toward the depths of the Cyan Dragon Cave, "Cyan Lotus Sword, I am coming!"
At this moment, Wen Ping’s Sword Intent was still at a four-leaf level.
His realm was still at the Entry Level.
He had only penetrated the first technique of the Cyan Lotus Seven Swords—Immortal’s Guidance.
But whether it was Sword Technique or Sword Intent, it was already approaching the limit, ready to enter the Minor Success Realm at any time.
Now he’s just missing an opportunity!
Wen Ping felt that if he could observe the sword his Spiritual Power detected for ten or half a month, his Cyan Lotus Sword Intent would surely achieve Minor Success.
It’s like an exam.
The answers have already been put in front of you.
You just need to remember them and fill them in on your test paper.
The more you remember, the higher your score.
Wen Ping felt with ten or half a month of observing the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent, he should get a Minor Success result.
However, the next second, the system’s voice came.
"The Cyan Lotus Sword has a firm will and does not wish to be used by the host, thus two more trials have been added. If the host passes, the Cyan Lotus Sword may be obtained!"
"What the heck!"
Wen Ping froze on the spot.
Can it really be like this?
Isn’t this cheating?
"The host can proceed without worry. If it adds any more new trials, the system will forcefully intervene and erase the intelligence of the Cyan Lotus Sword’s spirit!"
"The Cyan Lotus Sword actually has intelligence?"
Wen Ping just asked this question and immediately understood.
Things in the Immortal World.
Isn’t it normal to have intelligence?
But why does it refuse to be used by me?
Am I not worthy?
Back then, when the Cyan Lotus Sword Immortal Li Bai saw my Earthly Cyan Lotus Body, he immediately voluntarily bestowed the Cyan Lotus Sword upon me!
Though frustrated, Wen Ping accepted this reality. Since the Cyan Lotus Sword was reluctant to be under his ownership, Wen Ping insisted on subduing the Cyan Lotus Sword. So, you don’t want to be used? Once I pass these two trials, you will have no choice but to agree!
Venturing deeper into the Cyan Dragon Cave, his vision suddenly expanded greatly. He had only taken a step forward but already stood in a whole new world.
This time, there were no stone tablets.
Only the system’s explanation.
"The host is now in the small world within the Cyan Dragon Cave, and this is the second trial set by the Cyan Lotus Sword’s spirit—Sword Leader Forest! Pass through the Sword Leader Forest, and the host may enter the third trial."
After the system’s explanation, Wen Ping’s surroundings changed again.
A misty valley appeared before him, and he stood at the entrance.
In the valley, Cyan Lotus Sword Intent crisscrossed.
But because of the dense fog, nothing could be seen.
When Wen Ping attempted to explore inside using Spiritual Power, he found his Spiritual Power was utterly ineffective, unable to penetrate an inch.
The white fog blocked everything!
At this moment, the Cyan Lotus Sword from the depths of the Cyan Pool viewed this scene indifferently.
"The Great Path is ruthless, the Immortal Path has no doors!"
"You are not Li Bai, nor do you cultivate the Immortal Path, so how could you wield me?"
"Within the fog, swords linger everywhere, each possessing Cyan Lotus Sword Intent at the Great Success Realm. If you dare to enter, they will tear you apart!"
"Dare to enter!"
Under the watchful gaze of the Cyan Lotus Sword, Wen Ping stepped into Sword Leader Forest, vanishing into the dense fog where one couldn’t see five fingers in front.
Ten steps.
A hundred steps.
As Wen Ping cautiously took two more steps, a sword whistle rang by his ear, piercing from the left like lightning.
Swoosh—
Having seen Cyan Lotus follow.
Though one couldn’t see a thing in the white fog, Wen Ping sensed the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent, a six-leaf Cyan Lotus representing the Great Success Realm!
"So fast!"
Wen Ping exclaimed in surprise, quickly backing away while opening the Meridian Gate, shielding his ears with a Vein Qi Shield.
At the moment the Vein Qi Shield formed, a Cyan Lotus Sword Intent struck his left ear, leaving a crack on the shield. As the opponent retracted the technique upon failure, another sword emerged swiftly, aiming straight at Wen Ping’s lower half.
Luckily, Wen Ping reacted swiftly, dodging by flying.
Just as he dodged, the place he was standing exploded with a loud bang, the terrifying sword energy split the white fog open.
Through the parting fog, Wen Ping saw the spot he had previously stood, now almost unrecognizable like a disaster had struck.
The power of this sword was extremely terrifying!
"This Sword Leader has no cultivation, solely relying on the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent at the Great Success Realm, with a casual sword rivaling Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted, truly unbelievable!"
Just as Wen Ping pondered this, another piercing sound of a blade through the air and a sword whistle rang again.
Another Sword Leader arrived!
Swoosh—
Swoosh—
Before Wen Ping could react, multiple sounds of swords slicing through the air came.
Wen Ping’s expression shifted dramatically, immediately pulling out a magic wand, quickly chanting to summon Dark Stream Annihilation and the Black and Ice Dragons.
At the instant Dark Stream Annihilation appeared, Black Scythe immediately rose, carving out a Full Moon Slash toward its surroundings.
But the sword spirit’s Cyan Lotus Sword Intent surged simultaneously, six-leaf Cyan Lotus fluttered like rain toward Wen Ping and Dark Stream Annihilation.
As Dark Stream Annihilation’s strike cleaved at the Cyan Lotus, it could not advance an inch. Instead, the endless Cyan Lotus grew nearer.
Forcing Dark Stream Annihilation to continually wield the Black Scythe, yet the scythe capable of slaying Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted was now barely handling, suppressed fiercely by the overwhelming Cyan Lotus!
The Netherworld Black Dragon King witnessed this, immediately leaping forward, unleashing a torrent of Black Dragon Flame, the black flames sweeping across half the Sword Leader Forest.
Following this, the Ice Dragon King opened its mouth, releasing boundless ice mist, plunging the Sword Leader Forest’s temperature into extreme cold.
One fire and one ice, blanketing the entire Sword Leader Forest!
Yet, the result only attracted more Sword Leaders.
Using the system, Wen Ping scanned his surroundings, seeing the two dragons’ actions summon hundreds of Sword Leaders.
Each, wielding a sword, all using the Cyan Lotus Seven Swords’ First Form, charged into the Black Dragon Flame and ice mist. Where the Cyan Lotus and sword pointed, both flame and mist retreated!
The collective Cyan Lotus Sword Intent of the hundreds of Sword Leaders quickly eradicated the Black Dragon Flame and ice mist, rapidly attacking the two dragons, burying them with Cyan Lotus Sword Intent!
Dark Stream Annihilation tried to retaliate, but facing hundreds of Sword Leaders and the overwhelming Cyan Lotus, it too met the dragons’ fate.
"Such formidable adversaries, how can this challenge be conquered!"
Wen Ping, shocked, promptly withdrew from the fog.
Hundreds of Sword Leaders commanded Cyan Lotus Sword Intent at the Great Success level, though only employing the First Form of the Cyan Lotus Seven Swords, annihilating Dark Stream Annihilation with ease.
How could he, who had just entered Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted, possibly overcome it?
This Cyan Lotus Sword is indeed exceptional.
This trial couldn’t possibly be conquered without Celestial Unrestricted, right?
As Wen Ping felt increasingly frustrated.
A thought suddenly sparked through his mind!
Wen Ping tapped his forehead, suddenly enlightened, "Why am I in such a rush to pass through? Isn’t my original intent to elevate the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent to Minor Success? Now with so many Sword Leaders possessing Great Success level Sword Intent as my sparring partners, isn’t this a heaven-sent opportunity? Moreover, I can utilize them to practice the Second Form of the Cyan Lotus Seven Swords! If the Sword Intent reaches Minor Success and I comprehend the Second Form, after Breaking Realm, my power will surely be incredible!"
After all, the Cyan Lotus Sword is an Immortal Sword!
Originating from the Immortal World!
Though this world lacks countless spirit bodies, after being transformed by the system, the Cyan Lotus Sword can be utilized with Vein Qi as a substitute.
Hence, cultivating the Cyan Lotus Sword and Sword Intent is paramount, while the Cyan Lotus Sword itself needn’t be urgently acquired.
After realizing this point, Wen Ping took out the flying ship, boarding it as he charged into the fog. Around him, hundreds of Sword Leaders unleashed attacks toward the flying ship, the overwhelming Cyan Lotus falling onto the Dry Dragon Armor, the scene utterly terrifying.
However, regardless of their assaults, the Dry Dragon Armor was not something they could break.
While they were preoccupied attacking the flying ship, Wen Ping shook all four meridians!
Bang—
With a technique of Immortal’s Guidance, he attacked a corner with only tens of Sword Leaders within the flying ship!
(On my knees, begging for recommendation tickets, monthly pass!)
