Chapter 296: Chapter 296, Clouds Rolling and Unrolling

"The ninth level... it seems to have lit up?!"

Just as Chu Ming entered the ninth level, the crowd outside the Trial Tower became unsettled.

With Chu Ming’s strength, entering the eighth level was within their expectations, but entering the ninth level had exceeded their imagination.

In the Celestial Travel Sect, all disciples who could pass through the eighth level and reach the ninth level of the Trial Tower were True Disciples.

Moreover, even among the True Disciples, not all geniuses could enter the ninth level. As far as they knew, only five or six True Disciples could do it.

"Brother Chu’s talent is no less than Elder Gu’s!"

An inner sect disciple exclaimed. No less than Elder Gu? Stronger than him? He didn’t dare to imagine. After all, twenty years ago, Ancient Sword Peak was at the pinnacle in the Celestial Realm, belonging to the top tier.

The Trial Tower, Ninth Level.

Swoosh!

A concentrated Sword Light burst out from Chu Ming’s sword, knocking away countless assassins but not killing them.

Chu Ming frowned. The white-robed swordsmen on the ninth level of the Trial Tower not only possessed strong strength but also incredibly high defense. His Sword Light attacks could only leave a white mark on them.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

At this moment, Chu Ming was surrounded by a sea of Sword Light. Five hundred swordsmen joined forces, and their combined attack was comparable to a strike from the Guiyuan Realm. Fortunately, Chu Ming’s Lightweight Skill was strong enough to avoid them head-on.

"Flowing Clouds Like Water!"

Chu Ming stepped forward with his right foot, a serious look in his eyes. Countless Sword Dao Auroras flashed through his mind, and a glowing white cloud appeared around his sword. The air around him became viscous like flowing water.

Chu Ming swung his sword, and the world became silent. The ensuing sound was like the shattering of air itself, as if the world was being split in two, and Sword Dao Radiance filled the entire space!

Swish, swish, swish...

The sound of bodies shattering echoed continuously, and Chu Ming’s one strike killed more than fifty swordsmen. However, even more swordsmen surged towards Chu Ming!

Crack!

A Sword Light pierced through Chu Ming’s armpit and directly hit his rib. Chu Ming frowned as blood spurted from the wound!

Swoosh!

Thud!

A Sword Light flashed, instantly slashing the white-robed swordsman who attacked!

However, Chu Ming’s situation was becoming increasingly dangerous!

"Cloud Ascension!"

At some point, wisps of white clouds appeared in the sky, swiftly changing shape and radiating sharpness.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

What is a sword? Clouds are swords, everything can be a sword. Wisps of cloud were infused with Sword Qi by Chu Ming, expanding into numerous Sword Lights that attacked the white-robed swordsmen in all directions!

Swish, swish, swish...

The white-robed swordsmen were slain one after another. One move, Cloud Ascension, took the lives of over a hundred swordsmen!

However, just as Chu Ming paused for an instant, his body was immediately overwhelmed by an endless amount of Sword Light!

In an instant, Chu Ming was killed by more than three hundred Sword Lights!

Phew!

Exiting the Trial Tower, ignoring the astonished gazes from the disciples, Chu Ming headed towards the Cultivation Room!

With a million Contribution Points in hand, the first thing Chu Ming thought of was to quickly improve his strength!

To establish a foothold on the continent, strength is the true path!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, with Brother Chu’s current strength, he is no weaker than the top ten True Disciples!"

A disciple remarked in awe, gazing at Chu Ming’s silhouette.

"That’s not necessarily true. The top ten True Disciples went through the Trial Tower three months ago. Who knows how much they’ve progressed in the past three months. The world of geniuses is something we can’t understand!"

Beside him, a long-faced man refuted, his tone filled with helplessness. Even the ordinary disciples of the Celestial Travel Sect could be regarded as the top on the land, yet within the Inner Sect, they could only remain mediocre!

This time, Chu Ming spent thirty thousand Contribution Points to exchange for a month’s use of the Cultivation Room!

In the Cultivation Room, Chu Ming alternately comprehended the Immortal Sword Intent and took out the Cloud Swordsmanship to understand the third move, Clouds Rolling and Unrolling!

Clouds Rolling and Unrolling was the final move in Cloud Swordsmanship, and also its most powerful move.

Time passed bit by bit, and ten days flew by in a blink. Chu Ming’s Immortal Little Sword trembled, reaching the Middle Stage of Tier One!

The myriad paths of swordsmanship, all interconnected. After the Slaughter Sword Intent reached Tier Three, Chu Ming’s Immortal Sword Intent progressed rapidly, with numerous aspects showing similarities to the Slaughter Sword Intent.

At the same time, within ten days, Chu Ming had also grasped the basics of Clouds Rolling and Unrolling, with a tranquil aura like flowing clouds surrounding him.

Swoosh!

A slight Sword Light burst from Chu Ming’s hand, sweeping like flowing clouds, serene and tranquil, yet harboring a blend of slaying and immortality!

This was the nascent form of Clouds Rolling and Unrolling, yet it didn’t even count as a minor achievement in terms of lethality, it could only match the Deceitful Sword.

Another ten days passed, and Chu Ming’s Immortal Sword Intent reached the Late Stage of Tier One, with a constant flow of light golden sword aura around him, like eternal immortality.

Meanwhile, Clouds Rolling and Unrolling in Chu Ming’s hand had reached the Great Success Realm. With one sword strike, flowing like countless clouds, serene and tranquil, even time seemed to slow down.

At the Great Success Realm, Clouds Rolling and Unrolling could already match the lethality of Cloud Ascension!

The time a martial artist spends in cultivation always flies by. As the final ten days passed, Chu Ming slowly opened his eyes, a trace of light gold flashed in his eyes!

Though the Immortal Sword Intent hadn’t reached the peak of Tier One, it was not far off. And Clouds Rolling and Unrolling was only a step away from the Transformation Realm.

Chu Ming chose not to continue in seclusion. After a month of arduous training, he had comprehended a lot and urgently needed to solidify it, turning it all into his own.

However, just as Chu Ming left the Cultivation Room, he encountered a white-robed steward!

"Brother Chu, the Sect Leader summons you!"

This white-robed steward was at the True Dao Eighth Layer, while Chu Ming was only at the True Dao Fifth Layer. But in terms of combat strength, Chu Ming was countless levels above him. One sword strike was enough to instantly kill him, so he didn’t dare to put on any airs in front of Chu Ming!

"Hmm!"

Chu Ming nodded slightly and walked towards the Celestial Hall. In the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Chu Ming arrived at the Celestial Hall.

However, to his surprise, the other nine disciples who were in the top ten of the Inner Sect competition had already been waiting for a long time!

Something big was about to happen!

This was Chu Ming’s intuition. Chu Ming’s arrival drew the attention of others. Mo Ling waved his fist, his eyes gleaming with battle intent. Over the past month, he had diligently cultivated, and his strength had made a qualitative leap. At this moment, he was eager to spar with Chu Ming and see who was superior!

Ning Fei glanced at Chu Ming, her heart racing. At this moment, Chu Ming seemed to her like an enigma!
