Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 702: Chapter 134: Defeat, Artistic Path Ninth Stage (Two in One)

The sword Qi illuminated the 22 Dao Domains and directly slashed Bian Ruxue’s cheek, leaving a scar on her beautiful face.

But the wound healed instantly, Bian Ruxue’s body disappeared into the Returning Ruins, avoiding this sharp sword in an instant of injury.

When she reappeared, Bian Ruxue’s gaze became much more solemn.

“Great Accomplishment of the Gentlest Sword Intent!”

“Qing Ying actually perfected her Sword Intent, was it a sudden insight after the battle with Dragon Slayer?”

On the Saint Platform, the eyes of many Saint Heirs and Saintesses turned solemn.

Many of them had yet to perfect their Sword Intent. A perfected Sword Intent meant one step away from Entering the Dao!

“Unfortunately, it’s just a minor path.”

Haoyue Saint Son showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, but immediately shook his head slightly. Compared to his own Sun and Moon Dao, it was all minor, even if it was perfected, it was not worth considering.

“This child Qing Ying, since her master’s mishap, has been self-studying swordplay every day and has not fallen behind in her cultivation. It appears that the incident didn’t affect her much.”

Yao Ancestor narrowed her eyes slightly; to be able to perfect Sword Intent to Great Accomplishment at such a young age indicated a terrifying perception in Sword Dao.

Given another few hundred years, she would be another Half-Saint of Sword Dao.

But monster cultivators face fierce competition and often die young.

On the battle platform, Bian Ruxue sensed that her opponent’s Sword Intent appeared to be perfected, surpassing her own, so the restraining effect she had was nullified.

She took a deep breath, gathering Qi Force in her spine where her innate Sword Bone resided — a trait she was born with but lay dormant until awakened by the Sword Saint. Now, Qi Force infused into her Sword Bone, spreading an icy chill throughout her body.

The temperature around her dropped further, and Bian Ruxue’s aura grew stronger. The Qi Force inside her body, transformed by the Sword Bone, turned into Sword Gang!

Swoosh!

Suddenly, she stepped forward, performing the Returning Ruin Instantaneous Movement.

To reach the Returning Ruins Extreme Realm, many Object Control skills must be perfected to their limit.

Bian Ruxue, having been taught and guided directly by Daoist-level Sword Saint, mastered the entire Sword Saint’s Heavenly Command and entered the Returning Ruins Extreme Realm within half a year.

Therefore, despite her short years of cultivation, she had almost all her potential Extreme Realms opened.

As she appeared instantaneously in front of Lin Qingyue, the vast Sword Gang within Bian Ruxue condensed, and she struck with her sword, freezing Heaven and Earth.

Lin Qingyue’s Dao Domains emerged, layer upon layer, totaling 28, but now they were frozen by the icy chill, the Sword Intent and laws of her Sword Domain all solidified, and countered directly by Bian Ruxue’s own Dao Domains!

When the piercing Sword Gang slashed towards her, Lin Qingyue’s sword light twisted, spreading out like a tidal flow encircling the Sword Gang, pulling it aside. Then, in a wave-like reversal, the Sword Intent surrounded Bian Ruxue.

Bian Ruxue felt a chill in her heart and suddenly exclaimed in a low voice. Sword Intent erupted, and the intense cold froze the tidal-like Sword Momentum.

Clang!

The two swords clashed, and the fierce Sword Gang, like a great axe, forced Lin Qingyue back.

“Ice Sword Bone, no wonder she was taken as a direct disciple by the Sword Saint, reportedly a chance encounter in the mortal world.”

“In combination with her cultivation of Sword Dao, it fits flawlessly.”

“Sword Saint personally taught her; how could there be any mistakes? She won’t make a false step.”

On the Saint Platform, the eyes of all the Saint Heirs and Saintesses flickered, surprised that the youngest saintess possessed such formidable skills, using her Ice Sword Bone to actually suppress Lin Qingyue’s perfected Sword Intent and 28 Dao Domains!

However, they could see that Lin Qingyue had not yet used her True Force.

After all, perfected Sword Intent was not limited to this, and Lin Qingyue also had a Taoist Body which she hadn’t yet used.

“Aren’t you going to use Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation?”

Bian Ruxue looked at Lin Qingyue with calm eyes.

Compared to other Saint Heirs and Saintesses, her biggest weakness was the lack of Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation.

Others were at the Five Extremes Realm, but she was only at the Four Extremes Realm. When she was in the Soul Succession Realm, she was taken away by her master Jian Wudao, and due to some connections, she was sent to Gan Tao Palace to worship the Dao Law Realm True Person.

This prevented her from ever connecting with the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation in her lifetime.

However, having met her current master Sword Saint, he had told her that when she reached a bottleneck in her life’s cultivation, she could reincarnate and rebuild, and the master would protect her, for her next life was her true peak!

Lin Qingyue heard her words, shook her head slightly, didn’t say anything, only gradually converting the energy inside her body into her Innate Yin Daoist Fetus. Right now, energy swirled in her abdomen, her entire being turning into a soft, water-like force.

Only she knew the true extent of her strength after reaching the Perfection of the Gentlest Sword Intent.

Combined with her Innate Yin Daoist Fetus, she could push her Sword Intent to its limits. She had planned to save this power for stronger rivals later on, but now, she was forced to use it prematurely.@@novelbin@@

As Lin Qingyue’s aura shifted, Bian Ruxue quickly sensed it. Her gaze became solemn; she didn’t speak but concentrated the Sword Gang within her Sword Bone, merging it into the Ice Sword Intent. Raising her sword, she executed the sword technique she had studied from a young age, later refined to the Daoist level by her master’s guidance.

Snow Realm!

The sword hadn’t moved, but the piercing cold spread out like ice cracking.

Suddenly, she struck with her sword, a falling snow!

In that instant, it seemed as though a heavy snow floated across Heaven and Earth.

Countless snowflakes, turning into thousands of sword lights, all transported instantaneously in front of Lin Qingyue by the Returning Ruin Instantaneous Movement.

Equivalent to thousands of sword lights instantaneously firing, freezing everything.

But Lin Qingyue stood there, as if unable to react in time, the falling snow-like sword light converging, yet passing through her body.

“Utmost Gentleness!”

Untouchable softness.

Dressed in blue, she stood amidst the wind and snow, surrounded by stirring Sword Gang, yet not even her hair was stirred.
