Chapter 553: Chapter 229: Goal, Advance to the Seventh Level of Awakening Vein Realm!

Yan Qingshuang learned about the meeting’s details from Elder Bi Qiushui and narrated everything to Luo Cheng, also giving a detailed introduction of Mimeng Zang Mountain.

Mimeng Zang Mountain is a small forbidden ground at the edge of Luoxia Sect, a ring-shaped island with a towering peak in the center.

This peak is called Zang Mountain. It’s said that deep beneath it lies an Ancient Demon Beast, shrouded in mist, enveloping it with a mysterious power!

Once someone enters the island, their Essence Energy will be greatly restricted, forcing them to rely on physical strength, and their spirit will be tested upon reaching the central area!

After introducing Mimeng Zang Mountain, Yan Qingshuang continued, “My master asked me to tell you that to climb Mimeng Zang Mountain, aside from physical strength, the most crucial thing is to have a steadfast spirit and not be confused by illusions! Stay true to your heart to move forward.”

Luo Cheng nodded, sincerely grateful, “Please thank Elder Bi Qiushui for me.”

Being able to know this information in advance increased his confidence considerably.

“Moreover, you’re not the only one taking the qualification test this time. All excellent Inner Sect disciples of Luoxia Sect can participate. I will participate as well. To be honest, we are competitors.”

Yan Qingshuang smiled brightly. Now she is also an Inner Sect disciple, coupled with the Nine-star Sword Martial Soul and four-tenths Perfect Sword Intent, she naturally qualifies to take on the Seven-Colored Spring challenge.

“Is that so? Then you better work hard.”

Luo Cheng raised an eyebrow, his face revealing a confident smile.

Luoxia Sect arranged this not just for Blood Nether Sect but likely to increase the difficulty of his trial.

Originally, he only needed to climb Mimeng Zang Mountain to prove himself.

Now, he has to compete against the entire Inner Sect disciples of Luoxia Sect.

But all this effort is in vain.

He traveled thousands of miles to Luoxia Sect; there’s no way he would return empty-handed.

“So confident?”

Yan Qingshuang was somewhat surprised by Luo Cheng’s strong confidence, and said, “As far as I know, for this test, most of the Top Ten Seed Disciples will participate. They are all top-notch experts in the Awakening Vein Realm, all with exceptional talents. Combined with the Core Disciples, the total number will probably exceed a hundred, even more!”

If she hadn’t awakened the Nine-star Sword Martial Soul, and her Sword Intent naturally having a restraining effect on virtual forces, Yan Qingshuang wouldn’t have much confidence to enter the top fifteen.

Luo Cheng laughed, “Not to say ten parts guarantee, nine parts at least.”

Yan Qingshuang fell into thought, suddenly recalling the sharp intent just moments ago, and asked, “Luo Cheng, what level has your Sword Intent Realm reached?”

Luo Cheng did not speak, and directly gripped the hilt of the Thunder Hidden Sword.

In the next moment!

Buzz!

The wind rose and clouds surged, a sharp aura burst forth from Luo Cheng, slicing through heaven and earth, forcing the unprepared Yan Qingshuang to retreat several steps, barely standing firm by summoning her Sword Intent.

“This is…”

Staring at Luo Cheng with bright eyes, Yan Qingshuang was deeply shocked, taking a moment to return to her senses, inhaling deeply:

“Seven-tenths Perfect Sword Intent, Sword Intent Prototype Upper Realm!”

No wonder Yan Qingshuang was so surprised.

If condensing a Sword Intent Prototype is touching the threshold of Sword Intent, then with the Sword Intent Prototype in the Upper Realm, one foot has already stepped into the gateway of Sword Intent!

Comprehending true Sword Intent is just within reach!

However, those who can reach the Sword Intent Prototype Upper Realm in the Awakening Vein Realm are extremely few. Among the thousands of Inner Sect swordsmen disciples in Luoxia Sect, merely three have reached the Sword Intent Prototype Upper Realm! And they are all veteran Inner Sect disciples!

Luo Cheng is still so young, and he has only been condensing the Sword Intent Prototype for a short time!

Hoo!

Exhaling deeply, Yan Qingshuang looked at Luo Cheng and marveled:

“You won the first place in the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition, making many people across the Three Sects dissatisfied, wanting to laugh at your expense. But now it seems those people are destined to be disappointed! Perhaps, one day you could prove to the world that even awake to a Wasted Martial Soul, one can become a first-rate swordsman.”

“That day will surely come.”

Luo Cheng smiled slightly.

Yan Qingshuang’s eyes sparkled with a strange light, and she smiled, “I hope that day comes soon! Alright, I’m going back to cultivate. See you in three days!”

Yan Qingshuang rose to take her leave.

Luo Cheng’s attainment of seven-tenths Perfect Sword Intent had made a significant impact on her, besides, she had understood Sword Intent thanks to Luo Cheng’s guidance; their Sword Intents can be said to be of the same origin. Luo Cheng’s release of Sword Intent earlier gave her some insight!

Luo Cheng saw Yan Qingshuang off.

Standing at the door, Yan Qingshuang remembered something and stopped, asking, “Has Hua Jingyang contacted you?”

“Hua Jingyang?”

Luo Cheng shook his head and asked, “Why would he contact me?”

Yan Qingshuang laughed, “Have you forgotten, in the last battle, Hua Jingyang lost to you, and his master, True Master Dong Yue, set a one-year battle agreement between you two. It’s almost time now.”

Only then did Luo Cheng recall this matter.

“From what I heard, after that battle, True Master Dong Yue took Hua Jingyang to Burying Fire Abyss in the Great Qi Dynasty to cultivate in seclusion. Hua Jingyang’s Martial Soul can devour flames to accelerate cultivation, increasing combat strength, and the Burying Fire Abyss has endless fierce fire, which likely allowed him to make substantial progress over the year…”

Yan Qingshuang stopped mid-sentence, realizing she might be overthinking it.

No matter how fast Hua Jingyang advanced, he couldn’t outpace Luo Cheng.

The Sword Intent Prototype Upper Realm is not to be trifled with, its significance is immense, its power sufficient for Luo Cheng to surpass all talents of the same rank!

“See you in three days.”

Yan Qingshuang bid farewell and left.

She was worried that if time dragged on, that glimpse of insight might disappear.

Luo Cheng watched Yan Qingshuang leave, closing the courtyard door as he walked back inside.

“Only the top fifteen can ascend Mimeng Zang Mountain, qualifying to enter Seven-Colored Spring… Did they think this would make me retreat?”

Luo Cheng smiled faintly, not to mention the top fifteen, even the first place he did not fear.

He paid no mind to matters concerning Hua Jingyang.

His goal was to become the leader of the young generation in the Three Sects and ascend the Yunlan Domain Group Domain List.

One Hua Jingyang was not worth worrying about anymore.

If he could defeat Hua Jingyang twice, he could defeat him three times!

If he could enter Seven-Colored Spring for cultivation, the gap between him and Hua Jingyang would only widen, to a degree immeasurable!

“Luoxia Sect disciples are more familiar with Mimeng Zang Mountain, and I have offended so many people here, I’m afraid they won’t let me pass the assessment easily. Just in case, I must be prepared!”

“There is still some Spiritual Mist left unrefined. With three days, I’ll try to break through to the Seventh Level of Awakening Vein Realm!”

Musing, Luo Cheng entered the Practice Field, took out several Four-star Soul Crystals, and began devouring them.

Roar!

A dragon’s roar echoed as Void Dragon Qi emerged from Luo Cheng’s body, opening its mouth to devour the Beast Soul Essence from the Soul Crystals.

Rumble!

While refining Beast Soul Essence and Spiritual Mist, the nine Essence Energy Mansions in Luo Cheng’s body and fifty-four Xuan Veins started vibrating together!

Abundant Essence Energy slowly and powerfully circulated, emitting the sound of a rushing stream!

Each cycle strengthened the nine Essence Energy Spiritual Lights, making the fifty-four Xuan Veins more perfect, inching closer to the Seventh Level of Awakening Vein Realm…

One day passed.

Two days passed.

Deep in the night of the third day.

Crack!

A subtle sound of breaking through echoed from within Luo Cheng’s body.

Immediately, a strange wave poured out from his Dantian, causing everything in the Practice Field to lift into the air, levitating, the mist around Cuiyun Inn cleared completely!

“Fifty-five Xuan Veins! Finally reached the Seventh Level of Awakening Vein Realm!”

Luo Cheng opened his eyes, his gaze brilliant, gleaming like lightning, darting through the void!
