Chapter 132: Chapter 30 Jue Yun’s Sword Intent [New book seeks monthly ticket!]_1

"Master, I have something to report,"

When Empress Feng returned from Guxuan Peak, she saw Chu Liang waiting for her in the hall of the attic with a serious look on his face.

She immediately looked excited, "What? Did you get beaten up again?"

"..." Even if I did get beaten up, you don’t have to be so cheerful about it. Chu Liang couldn’t help but mutter under his breath.

He looks as though he’s reveling in another’s misfortune.

Of course, he understood why Empress Feng had this reaction. Previous experiences of him being bullied had led her to form the concept that her disciple "getting beaten" equated to "profit".

She had been paying people for the fights she got into for decades. It was only recently when she found out that she could make money while fighting, thanks to Chu Liang’s arrival.

Sadly, this time the disciple wasn’t bullied... I’m sorry to disappoint you, master.

"The Underworld King Sect’s Soul Summoning Order has transmitted a message. South Route Guide is gathering his forces and wants to assemble outside Zhennan Region’s Mountain within seven days. It seems they are planning something," said Chu Liang.

"Hm?" Empress Feng furrowed her brows, "South Route Guide? He’s just a small fish... "

Listened to her contemptuous tone, Chu Liang looked innocent, the "small fish" in your eyes, master, is more than capable of killing me.

So he spoke out his thoughts, "Disciple thinks that the Underworld King Sect, especially the Purple Gold Marquis, are currently hiding and laying low. South Route Guide is departing from this behaviour and is openly gathering forces to enter the Zhennan Region’s Mountain, he must have a very important target. If we could capture all the forces of the Underworld King Sect along with their target, it would be considered a great contribution, wouldn’t it?"

"Also, if we can capture South Route Guide, there could be a possibility of interrogating the location of Purple Gold Marquis from him," Chu Liang added.

"Hm..." Empress Feng nodded thoughtfully, she naturally understood her disciple’s position.

Chu Liang had infiltrated the Soul Enforcers, once he acted, his identity would be exposed, hence the opportunity to be an undercover was essentially one-off. If he does not participate in the operation, it will inevitably raise suspicion, therefore he can only withdraw prematurely.

"If we can’t catch the big tortoise, we can at least catch a few small shrimps," Empress Feng tilted her head and said, reluctantly.

After saying that, she suddenly raised her eyebrows, "Hm? Anyway, anyone can use the Soul Summoning Order now. I might as well pretend to be one of them, which would save you risking your life."

Upon hearing this, Chu Liang was somewhat touched. At least, the master was considering for his safety. But imagining Empress Feng disguising as a small follower of the demon cult...

The soul enforcer, who was at the bottom layer of the operation, might get bossed around at will. If someone dares to shout at Empress Feng, she’d probably kill them on the spot, stirring up the grass and startling the snake is inevitable, not to mention the net closing operation.

"Maybe not. To be an undercover, you need..." Chu Liang barely caught himself before saying what he really thought: to have a brain.

"What?" Empress Feng widened her eyes, seemingly very sensitive to this sentence.

Luckily Chu Liang managed to hold his comment back and redirected, "Ability to disguise, and master, your brilliance is like fireflies in the dark, so dazzling, so outstanding, it’s clear you wouldn’t fade in with the folks from the demon cult. How could you infiltrate among them?"

"That makes sense, hehe." Empress Feng laughed with a grin, "Then I’ll just follow you to the outskirts of Zhennan Region’s Mountain. Have the Tailing Talisman ready, so that I can locate your position. In case of emergencies, simply crush the Tailing Jade Talisman, and I’ll come to save you immediately!"

"That sounds perfect," responded Chu Liang.

"And also..." Empress Feng’s gaze shifted to the distance and continued, "You must take good care of the Dustless Sword. No matter what happens, you must not lose it."

"Of course, the sword given by the master, the disciple will absolutely cherish it," Chu Liang replied, yet feeling puzzled why Empress Feng would suddenly say so.

After pondering for a while, he still felt that something was off about Empress Feng, and thus asked, "Is there anything special about this sword?"

Empress Feng suddenly recited two lines of a poem.

"The divine light on the top of Xiaoyun divides into nine colors, the heavens gate above the clouds opens one after another." It seemed like she was murmuring to herself, or as if she was talking to someone else, but certainly not Chu Liang, "If I’m not guessing incorrectly, this is the key, right?"

"Huh?" Chu Liang made a surprised sound as he realized Empress Feng seemed to have fallen into some memories, and was beaten by the bush.

Since when did the master start to play riddles, maybe something is not right?

...

Coming out from the small attic, Chu Liang went to the hillside and took out the Dustless Sword.

Ever since his return from Taotie City, he never dared to reveal this sword in public. Only in the still of the night, he dared to take it out of his Magical Storage Tool, touching and cleaning it carefully with both a bubbling excitement and a treasured feeling... just like a wealthy landlord concealing a pile of gold and silver in his cellar...

He was fully aware of the principle of hiding wealth, especially when his current strength wasn’t commensurate with this sword. If he was to show off his Phoenix Soul Blood Jade like his master did, then he’d probably be robbed the moment he stepped out of Shu Mountain.

The transparent crystal-clear sword, under the moonlight, appears almost invisible, with only the shimmering golden mist revealing its sharp edge. Whenever True Qi is infused, the golden mist quickly expands, filling the entire sword with golden light.

With a casual swing of the sword by Chu Liang, a platinum Sword Qi suddenly flies out from the sword, hissing‭-‬-

This sword strike is fierce as a resisting horse, incredibly sharp!

In terms of power alone, it is not much inferior to the Wind Thunder Sword that Fang Ting once wielded in the forest of Zhennan Region’s Mountain! Keep in mind, Fang Ting was a fourth realm cultivator possessing a top-grade Shenxiao Five Thunder Golden Elixir, and the sword technique he used was his forte!

Is this the power of a Divine Sword?

Chu Liang’s cultivation alone would not suffice for this.

Ordinary iron introduces a delay for True Qi. If a regular iron sword is used, only seventy‭ ‬percent of ten full units of True Qi could be emitted through the sword tip, while a standard Shu Mountain Flying Sword could emit ninety‭ ‬percent. A sword that can project a full ten parts can be considered a Treasure Sword, just like those that had been sold in the Chuan Jian Hall previously.

And renowned swords can bestow Sword Qi, an infusion of ten units of True Qi can give a power boost of up to twelve or even more. Chu Liang now felt his Dustless Sword could enhance his True Qi to fifteen units while adding special effects.

That’s right, just like Empress Feng’s Phoenix Soul Blood Jade. Without a special effect, it would naturally not be considered a God Sword, which could challenge the top hundred.

The special effect of this Dustless Sword is reflected in a hint of Daoist Rite that blended into the Sword Qi. According to what his master said to Xu Kunwu, it was the Yunzhong Daoist Rite named "Jue Yun" introduced during the forging of the Xiaoyun Ancient Sword.

This is also the major Daoist Rite that Daoist Yan primarily cultivates.

The Dao of Jue Yun is about lifting the sword high into the Nine Heavens, displaying a profound sense of detachment with the Sword Intent.

Daoist Yan had been cultivating on Shu Mountain in obscurity for many years. Her fame came from her decisive battle where she used her Immortal Law Sword Technique, "Heaven Lifting Sword," on Biluo Peak, and killed a demon thousands of miles away with her Sword Qi, stunning the Nine States!

After that, even the Sect Master of the Endless Sword Sect acknowledged that if someone in the world could surpass him in the Sword Dao, it would definitely be Daoist Yan from Shu Mountain.

From this, we see a glimpse of the strength of "Jue Yun" Daoist Rite.

Chu Liang was curious so he asked Master Empress Feng what major Dao she cultivates. Empress Feng replied that it was "Ash Burn," which spoke of burning all living things with the virtues of fire, a Dao that is full of heat and destruction.

After hearing this, Chu Liang felt it was no wonder that she was able to cultivate it, it was tailored just for her.

Looking back, it seems that the major Dao cultivated by each of the Seventh Realm experts seems to have some connection with their character. Perhaps that was one of the keys to entering Heaven’s Gate?

To choose a Dao that best suits oneself or choose a certain Dao and then act the part?

Of course, this is not something Chu Liang needs to worry about now. He is still just a handsome guy who is worried about resources for Core Formation.

However.

Holding the Dustless Sword, Chu Liang’s confidence was bursting.

He believes that even though he is still in the Divine Consciousness Realm, he could possibly declare himself as the first in the Nine States Divine Consciousness Realm!

After all, with a Divine Sword in hand, combined with the continuous supply of True Qi from Big Head Baby, both his strength and endurance far exceed those of his peers.

Even if he faced weaker Golden Core Realm opponents, he now felt he could try to challenge them... even though the requirements for challenging those from higher realms are rigorous, he should meet all the conditions.

Under the moonlight, he lifts his finger and shouts: "Rise!"

The Dustless Sword soars into the air, drawing a golden light in the sky, then it speeds away! Hisss‭-‬-

Wind Fire Double Rune Sword!

The Daoist Sword Technique he executed with the Dustless Sword should be considered Chu Liang’s current strongest attack. Under the enhancement of the platinum "Jue Yun" Sword Qi, the Sword Technique hits a corner of the mountain wall, producing a loud booming sound!

Boom‭-‬-

A large piece of the mountain wall is shattered by this sword strike!

"Ha ha ha..."

Feeling the powerful strength he possesses, Chu Liang felt a surge of heroism in his chest. He laughs merrily at the moon, feeling like the heroes of the world are nothing in comparison. He decides that he will challenge a powerful enemy with his sword tomorrow...

Black Fur Ball!
