Chapter 2044 - Sword Mound


    After the white-clothed man left, Lin Yun’s gaze fell onto the dao me left behind by the Emperor Sword. It was so dazzling that Lin Yun didn’t dare to look at it directly.


    Lin Yun wondered who the Emperor in the Kunlun Realm was since there was the Emperor Sword. He carefully approached the dao me, which looked like a bright sun. The dao me shone brightly, painting Lin Yun in ayer of golden radiance.


    As he stood before the dao me, he was breath-taken by the powerful sword aura it gave off, and he couldn’t see the top when he raised his head. It felt as though there was a thousand-foot-tall volcano in front of him.


    He felt insignificant before it, and it was like what the senior said, this was Astral Sword Intent at the extreme. This should be the strongest the Astral Sword Intent could reach, and it wasn’t needed to reach such a height before making a breakthrough. In reality, one only needed to reach one-third of it to try and make a breakthrough in sword intent. The extreme wasn’t something that just anyone could achieve.


    “Has Senior Brother’s sword intent reached the extreme?” Lin Yun thought about Jian Jingtian. He caught a glimpse back then, and Jian Jingtian’s sword intent was like a bright sun. It was simr to what he saw now because his senior brother had umted it for eighteen years, and he wondered if his senior brother had made a breakthrough.


    Taking a deep breath, Lin Yun concentrated his sword intent on his right hand and reached towards the dao me. But Lin Yun onlysted for a brief moment before he was sent flying.


    I’m too insignificant before it; even Senior Brother isn’t this strong. Lin Yun inwardly pondered. It should be because of the Emperor Sword. So Lin Yun had to be more cautious.


    Lin Yun spread his arms apart and retreated to the gxy before calming himself down to observe andprehend, trying to refine the three strands of mes within his body. His cultivation wasn’t high, and he couldn’t bepared to a Quasi-Saint. But in terms ofprehension in sword dao, he wasn’t afraid.


    He moved along the water as he refined the three strands of mes. The mes soon ignited, forming an invisible aura with dao me. They looked like two gears turning or two fishes chasing after each other’s tails, looking profound. As time passed, Lin Yun soon sank into it, and reality became disorienting.


    “What’s going on?” Lin Yun opened his eyes to discover that he went along with the gxy flow and came to the back of the dao me. But that wasn’t the most terrifying thing. Time waspletely in a mess in just a moment. The three strands of mes within his violet pce were still shining brightly, but there were no signs of them being refined.


    “Can it be that the three strands of mes can’t be refined?” Lin Yun wasn’t willing to give up. He had no resources now, and his Astral Sword Intent could only rely on the three strands of mes if he wanted to take a step forth.


    Lin Yun took a deep breath to calm himself down. He no longer thought about resources nor the Sword Assembly. His focus was entirely on the three strands of mes, tossing everything else to the back of his mind.


    Lin Yun’s heart gradually became clear, like a piece of jade without any impurities. He didn’t know how long hested in this state but found himself in a dark sky when he reopened his eyes. He stepped on this tatterednd while looking at the starry sky and the universe in the surroundings.


    “This is…?” Lin Yun looked around and found himself on an ancient sword mound.


    This ce was filled with murderous intent that could make anyone tremble in fear. The ground was covered with skeletons with rusted swords piercing those skeletons. As a cold breeze blew, ghostly howls echoed, the sky bing dark. A huge ghost dashed over, wanting to devour him.


    This instantly made Lin Yun panic as he circted his movement technique, wanting to leave this ce. But this ce was weird. He was clearly traveling at a fast speed, but he was barely moving.


    Just when the skull condensed with a demonic aura that wanted to devour him, a buzzing sound came from the sword mound and a rusted sword shone brightly, devouring the skull.


    Lin Yun took this opportunity to draw the Flower Burial Sword and shed with the ghostly wind.


    Simultaneously, three mes flew out of Lin Yun’s body and shone with the dao me. A figure appeared from the three strands of mes, practicing the second section of the Divine Firefly Sword.


    Whenever that figure swung their sword, golden radiance entered his body and was devoured by the sun and moon sword stars. When that figure swung his sword even faster, it manifested tens of millions of lights that were devoured even faster.


    “Mhm?” The white-clothed man sensed the changes in the dao me and appeared outside the gxy. His gaze was fixed on Lin Yun, and he said, “He seeded! No one has ever seeded in refining it in the past because the ancestors didn’t leave behind the mes!”


    A few minutester, the three mes intertwined and formed a vortex, entering Lin Yun’s forehead. The aura Lin Yun gave off began to rise, and he breathed a sigh of relief when the vortex entered his forehead.


    When Lin Yun looked around, the scenery before him looked familiar, yet strange simultaneously. Lin Yun was bewildered as he asked, “Where am I?”


    Lin Yun could hear the gxy flowing in his ears. When Lin Yun came to his senses, he realized that this was the Celestial Purging Mountain within the Heavenly Dao Sect.


    “It feels like I’ve practiced my sword for ten years on the sword mound…” Lin Yun fought on the sword mound, apanied by the sword that saved him as he practiced his sword technique. Practicing day and night allowed him to form a strong rtionship with that sword, even stronger than his rtionship with the Flower Burial Sword.


    When he grabbed that sword and wanted to pull it out, he returned to reality. This was the reason why he was bewildered. He could feel that the sword was afraid of something, driving him out.


    “Mhm?” Lin Yun was surprised to discover that the three mes have disappeared and entered his forehead. With his sword sea, the sun and moon were hanging high in the sky with eighteen gxies, each reaching a thousand feet beneath the sun and moon.


    “I’ve seeded?” Lin Yun was pleasantly surprised. Not only did he manage to refine the mes, but he also manifested eighteen gxies. Wanting to give it another try, the sun and moon fused with a single thought. With a loud explosion, thirty-six gxies appeared around Lin Yun.


    As the gxies flowed, Lin Yun suddenly thought of something as he looked at them. Lin Yun raised his head at the gxies around the dao me and saw that they were slowly revolving. But as the stars changed, time and space became disordered, with various phenomena appearing.


    “Interesting… I get it now.” Lin Yun suddenly understood the words left behind by Yu Qingfeng. Notpeting for first but supremacy throughout time.


    “This is probably the true meaning of the Divine Firefly Sword’s second section.” Lin Yun felt enlightened as the scenes before him became clear, and the Divine Firefly Sword began to appear before him.


    This brought joy to Lin Yun’s face as he flicked his finger with sword rays flying out.


    Withered Tree Coming To Life!


    Rising Sun!


    Pr Opposite!


    ming Floral Silver Tree!


    Driving Lightning!


    Sky Incineration mes!


    Intoxicating Nine Heavenly Wind!


    Sky Streak Snow!


    Four Peaceful Seas!


    Moon Reflection Mirror!


    Flowing Time!


    nting Soldiers!


    Lin Yun unleashed the thirteen swords of Divine Firefly Sword’s second section as though he could execute them in the first ce. Lin Yun was stunned in amazement as he said, “I have reached greater mastery in this sword technique. This is unbelievable.”


    Lin Yun looked at the dao me and felt a sense of familiaritying from it. He sat with his legs crossed and reached out, which the dao me retreated upon sensing him.


    “What’s going on?” Lin Yun was disappointed that he was chased out of the Emperor Sword’s dao me.


    “Ye Qingtian, have you seen that sword?” The white-clothed man came over in a hurry.


    “I saw it,” Lin Yun replied.


    “Where is it? Tell me about it!” The white-clothed man looked agitated.


    “It’s in an astral sword mound. That ce is filled with corpses and ghost winds. I nearly died there. The sword appeared atst, and it stayed within a radius of a hundred meters.”


    “What happened then?” The white-clothed man asked.


    “I was trapped there, cutting the ghost wind and ghosts.”


    “You didn’t draw it out?” The white-clothed man’s eyes nearly bulged out.


    “I did, but I was chased out after that,” Lin Yun said.


    “How did that happen? It should have recognized you with the three strands of mes,” the white-clothed man muttered.


    Lin Yun pondered and said, “I can feel that it’s afraid of me. It was afraid when I held onto it and wanted to break free from me. As a result, I was chased out.”


    The white-clothed man was stunned and said, “How is that possible? How can the Emperor Sword possibly fear you?”


    Lin Yun wasn’t entirely certain about it, then said, “Perhaps it’s my misperception.”


    Lin Yun turned to look at the dao me, but felt that it wasn’t a misperception.


    “This is really unbelievable.” The white-clothed man’s face changed, and he sighed, “It was such a good opportunity, and I have no idea when the next time someone wille who can bring the Emperor Sword back.”


    The white-clothed man was too obsessed with the Emperor Sword.


    “Senior…” Lin Yun didn’t know what to say.


    The white-clothed man smiled, “It’s fine. You don’t have to me yourself for it. At the very least, we now know where it’s located.”


    “What’s the connection between the mes I’ve received and the Emperor Sword?” Lin Yun asked.


    “You should ask what’s the connection between the mes’ owner with the Emperor Sword,” the white-clothed man smiled.
