Chapter 80: Sword Intent Lv. 41
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
Time flew by, and six days had passed.
During these six days, Su Yang stayed in his courtyard and wielded his sword continuously. His Sword Intent had been raised to Iv41.
At Iv41, his Sword Intent could cover a range of four hundred miles when released, and using the Spider Web technique, it could extend to eight hundred miles.
Furthermore, his sword strikes at this level could cause destructive damage over hundreds of miles.
Comparing his current strength to the descriptions of a Martial Saint in some books, Su Yang realized that he had definitely surpassed the level of a Martial Saint.
Feeling reassured by his strength, Su Yang was ready to proceed to the capital.
During these six days, Su Yang’s actions had thoroughly spread, not only within Tianfeng Prefecture but also beyond.
This brought both benefits and drawbacks.
The benefits were simple: his reputation and deeds spread, and those who previously resisted the Martial Suppression Division in Tianfeng Prefecture began cooperating obediently. The smog lingering over the region decreased rapidly, and the Will of All Beings in Su Yang’s possession grew stronger.
On the other hand, there were also drawbacks. Su Yang’s displayed strength was too powerful, and combined with his young age, it drew the attention of certain entities interested in the matter.
Being a nineteen-year-old Heaven Transforming Realm cultivator, he must possess some valuable items. Perhaps, these items could be the key to breaking through to Martial Saint.
This thought excited those entities that had been keeping an eye on the situation.
The Evil Blood Cultivation Sect was not a single entity; many powerful evil cultivators and hidden influential families were involved, all with vested interests in the sect.
Just before they were about to make a move, they received the news that Su Yang had gone to the capital. Fearing to act in the capital, they decided to wait for Su Yang’s departure before making their move.
Their interest was not just ordinary; it involved the secret of breaking through to Martial Saint. How could they remain indifferent? They were eager and didn’t want to waste a single second.
On this day, a Heaven Transforming Realm expert from the Ling Shan Prefecture Wang Family, the Evil Saint Sect, and the Silver Moon Palace came out of seclusion.
Capital city
Su Yang had already arrived at the heart of Daxia, accompanied by Yi Tianba.
It took about four hours from their departure to their arrival, and if it weren’t for waiting for Yi Tianba, Su Yang’s speed would have been even faster.
Hmm… Perhaps the slowest one among them was Gu Xiu.
As for Jiang Xiaoyu, he was left in the prefecture city to cultivate. At this point, all he needed was a suitable cultivation environment, and didn’t need to be with them.
Upon arriving in the capital, Yi Tianba took Su Yang to the palace for registration.
Next, they only needed to wait for tomorrow’s morning court when the Emperor would summon them.
They found a decent-looking restaurant and settled in.
As time passed, evening arrived quickly.
Inside the room, Yi Tianba was feeling a bit uneasy.
“Su Yang… He was wielding his sword even when flying on the way, and now he’s still at it in the room…”
He couldn’t quite understand this kind of monster.
Does wielding a sword increase one’s strength?
After thinking for a moment, he decided to go out for a stroll.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
Su Yang stopped wielding his sword and opened the door. “Lord Yi, what’s the matter?”
Yi Tianba rubbed his temples and smiled. “You’re working too hard. You just arrived in the capital. How about I take you around? The nights in the capital are quite lively.”
“Uh… Thank you for the offer, Lord Yi, but I still have some work to finish here.” Su Yang declined politely.
Yi Tianba didn’t insist and left alone.
Su Yang was still young, so it was better not to let him indulge in the nightlife of the capital, lest it affected his cultivation.
He could indulge in such activities himself.
After Yi Tianba left, Su Yang closed the door.
What’s so fascinating about the night in the capital?
Wield the sword, wield the sword…
Deep within the palace
“Teacher, he’s here.”
“Good, I’ll go meet him.”
The night gradually deepened, and the sky above the capital was enveloped by stars, sprinkling the earth with a silvery glow.
To him, the scenery of the world was not as captivating as the sword in his hand.
The sounds of the world were not as melodious as the echoes in his mind.
[Sword Proficiency +1…]
“Young friend, could you come out for a chat in the sky?”
Su Yang, who was focusing on wielding his sword, was taken aback. Did the system just speak?
No, someone was sending him a voice transmission.
In an instant, Su Yang released his sword intent and quickly locked onto the person in the sky.
Hmm… His sword technique was still lacking something.
Su Yang immediately created a sword technique that could sense all things.
As long as the opponent’s strength was lower than his, he could sense their approximate strength and even detect hidden information. Based on his known realm information, he could determine the opponent’s cultivation level.
However, if the opponent’s cultivation level was beyond what Su Yang had encountered before, he wouldn’t be able to determine their realm, but he could still analyze their strength.
This ability was quite powerful. After sensing the opponent’s energy, he could compare it with his own to roughly understand the opponent’s level.
In other words, with this technique, he could see the other person’s cultivation level without worrying about their realm.
The only limitation was that he couldn’t sense opponents stronger than himself.
This ability also allowed him to sense the composition of various substances and detect the presence of any energy or poison.
This technique was named [Manual of All Beings – Imagery Perception].
After creating this technique with a single thought, Su Yang once again used his sword intent to scan the person above.
Hmm… Very powerful!
Comparing it, the person’s sword intent was probably at around level 35.
Level 35… This realm should be a Martial Saint, right?
Su Yang already had a guess in his mind.
He didn’t expect that as soon as he arrived in the capital, the strongest person in the world would come looking for him.
No, at most, this person was second best. He was the best in the world. With such a display of power and his young age, along with his rapid rise, he was sure to attract attention.
After all, who wouldn’t want to rapidly increase their strength, especially for an old monster who had been stuck in a realm for a long time.
Fortunately, his strength was increasing fast enough, so he didn’t need to worry about potential dangers.
Opening the window, Su Yang flew into the air.
He saw an ethereal old man, seemingly on the verge of old age, as if he could collapse at any moment, yet still holding onto his last breath.
“Greeting to Daxia Martial Saint,” Su Yang respectfully greeted.
“Hmm?” Jiang Sheng showed surprise. “How do you know it’s me? We haven’t met before.’
“Martial Saint’s strength transcends all, so naturally, I can discern it,” Su Yang explained the reason.
“Interesting…” Jiang Sheng was even more shocked. Was his strength seen through?
“Do you know that you’ve been targeted by someone?”
“Before revealing my strength, I had already considered this issue and naturally have a way to deal with it.”
“How do you deal with it?”
“Those who are unfavorable to me will naturally be killed to the last..”
