Chapter 88: Qingzhou City Lord, Establishing the Sword Intent

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The ancient city of Qingzhou.

All eyes were on Ye Ping.

The sudden swordsmanship shocked everyone.

He stole the limelight from Su Changyu and the young man in black.

In particular, now that the young man in black had already left, everyone focused their attention on Ye Ping.

There were 100,000 swords above the dome of the sky that were vibrating and making noises. It was a rare sight that would never be seen during normal circumstances.

Ye Ping was comprehending the Sword Dao.

He had already reached a bottleneck in his comprehension of sword moves, and with this opportunity, he wanted to directly condense sword intent.

The swords were like Heavenly Rivers that constantly intertwined above his head.

The Endless Sword Diagram was also being deduced maniacally.

Previously, Ye Ping had comprehended 3,000 sword moves, and his sword moves were increasing rapidly in number.

5,000!

10,000!

30,000!

For half an hour, the Endless Sword Diagram had deduced 30,000 sword moves.

Clang clang clang!

100,000 swords were dancing on the sky dome, and the Heavenly River sword momentum was emanating. The terrifying sword momentum that was like the vast ocean was making the sword cultivators feel pressured and breathless.

That terrifying sword momentum and scene had naturally attracted the strongest powerhouses from the Qingzhou Ancient City.

A figure appeared, riding a purple flying sword and approaching the ancient Qingzhou city.

It was a middle-aged man who was clad in a purple robe, appearing extremely noble and dignified.

“Greetings, City Lord!”

“Greetings, City Lord!”

After hearing his voice, some people who recognized him hurriedly greeted him with respect.

He was the Qingzhou City Lord, a Golden Core cultivator who was also a famous expert in Qingzhou, second only to Daoist Siji in terms of swordsmanship.

The appearance of the Qingzhou City Lord was even more shocking.

When the young man in black set up a sword platform there previously, the City Lord didn’t even appear. Now that Ye Ping comprehended the Sword Dao, he actually attracted the City Lord of Qingzhou. How could that not be shocking?

The Qingzhou City Lord looked at Ye Ping, ignoring the respectful gazes.

However, at this moment, an old man spoke up and looked at the Qingzhou City Lord.

“City Lord, is this person really condensing the sword intent?”

The person who asked this was an old man who was an official of Qingzhou Ancient City and was on good terms with the City Lord. Hence, he dared to take the liberty of asking.

As the voice sounded, many Sword Immortals around them were shocked. However, they were merely guessing and were not certain about it.

Hearing the question, the Qingzhou City Lord glanced at Ye Ping, then nodded and said, “Yes.”

His words shocked the entire crowd.

Different people saying different words would result in completely different effects.

As the Qingzhou City Lord admitted to it, everyone broke into an uproar.

However, the Qingzhou City Lord’s gaze soon landed on Su Changyu.

Yes, he looked at Su Changyu.

Not far away, Su Changyu, who had survived an ordeal, had his mind turn blank at this moment.

For a person who had just experienced a close shave with death, anything that happened would not catch his attention.

Feeling the gaze of the Qingzhou City Lord, Su Changyu subconsciously raised his head.

The two men exchanged glances.

Su Changyu seemed rather calm because he hadn’t come back to his senses yet.

The Qingzhou City Lord couldn’t help but seem bewildered.

He naturally knew of everything that happened there.

He knew that Ye Ping was Su Changyu’s junior brother, and he had seen through Su Changyu’s realm at a glance.

He was at the fifth level of the Qi Refinement realm.

That was strange.

How could a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refinement realm have such an aura? The Qingzhou City Lord could see at a glance that Su Changyu’s aura and composure were not faked at all.

It was definitely not an aura that a Qi Refinement cultivator would have.

Whereas, the City Lord wasn’t sure if Su Changyu was a peerless expert.

However, at this moment, Su Changyu’s voice sounded again.’

Above the sky, 100,000 swords suddenly intertwined, and the sword momentum dissipated little by little.

“What’s wrong?”

“What’s happening?”

“The sword momentum seems to have weakened.”

Everyone was filled with curiosity as they voiced their doubts.

“I know, he failed to condense his sword intent.”

“Failed to condense the sword intent?”

“Yes, the sword momentum has dissipated and the condensation of sword intent has failed.”

“Indeed, it’s not an easy thing to condense sword intent. I thought I could see the birth of a peerless Sword Dao genius, but it seems that geniuses in this world are still a minority. I’m one of them.”

“Fortunately, he did not condense the sword intent. Otherwise, the current top Sword Dao genius of Qingzhou will have to give up his title.”

“Fellow Daoist, can you stop bragging? How can you be the top genius in the Sword Dao in Qingzhou? You are only a little bit better than me, how can you claim to be the best?”

“Are you stupid? If I’m the best, won’t you be second to me?”

“You make sense. Okay, you will be the best in Qingzhou from now on while I’m second to you.”

“Can I be third then?”

“I want to be fourth.”

“Fifth!”

Everyone was discussing and the topic suddenly went off track.

However, most of the cultivators were just watching the fun. They knew that they could not be compared to Ye Ping so they were in great states of mind.

However, there were some cultivators who were different. They were indeed geniuses and were very concerned about whether Ye Ping could succeed or not.

It would be a fatal blow to them if Ye Ping succeeded in condensing the sword intent.

After all, the difference between sword momentum and sword intent was too great, and no matter how strong the sword momentum was, they would still be able to catch up, but if Ye Ping succeeded in condensing the sword intent, they would never be able to catch up.

When they saw Ye Ping’s failure to condense sword intent, some young cultivators couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Some even couldn’t help but speak up.

“In this world, geniuses are the minority. It’s impossible to condense sword intent at the age of twenty.”

“Yeah, he may have a significant background, but he is too conceited. He’s only in his twenties, but he wants to condense the sword intent. He’s really conceited.”

“Should I say he’s confident or conceited?”

They didn’t mock Ye Ping, but they were clearly rather sarcastic with their tone.

All of a sudden, it drew the attention of another group of people.

“Hah, I was wondering where the rancid smell came from. I didn’t expect this to be the source.”

“What a joke. This little Junior Brother may not have condensed the sword intent, but he at least almost succeeded. Look at yourselves. How dare you have the cheek to talk about him?”

“Yeah, we have to rub our eyes clean and take a clear look. Some people just like mocking others when they’re incompetent themselves.”

“Sisters, I have put the names of these people on the list of bottom feeders in cultivation. I will share it with you later, so that we do not marry the wrong person in the future.”

Among the crowd, the voices of some female cultivators could be heard. In the world of immortal cultivation, great strength was respectable and the genders were equal. Anyone who had a higher cultivation level would have a higher status.

Hence, the ratio of men to women was basically 50/50, and among the 100,000 cultivators inside and outside the ancient Qingzhou city, there were about 30,000 to 40,000 women.

They all had incredible combat power, and their words would immediately cause their opponents to fall silent.

In fact, some female cultivators even came up with a list of bottom feeders, causing many male cultivators into keeping their mouths shut.

As the name implied, the list included men with poor morals and character, and the purpose of it was to prevent the females from marrying the wrong person in the future. Once one’s name was written in the list, there would be no turning back.

Unless they went elsewhere and started anew, they would have to be extremely careful. But once they met a female cultivator from the same city, things would get awkward.

After all, women were the most vindictive people in the world.

However, just as the crowd was arguing, the Qingzhou City Lord couldn’t help but speak up.

“Failed to condense sword intent? You people are really ignorant.”

His voice immediately caught a lot of attention.

“City Lord, what do you mean by that?”

Some people were puzzled. ‘His sword momentum has clearly dissipated, why did you say that?’

“This is not a failure of the condensation of sword intent, but the establishment of sword intent. It’s the laying of the foundation so as to prevent premature condensation of the sword intent. Some prefer to wait until their real Sword Dao is perfected before doing so. However, some people are foolish and ignorant to mock others when they’re so incompetent. What a joke.”

“Sword Dao cultivators should not be narrow-minded or jealous. Even if you are talented, you won’t achieve much in the future if you have a flawed character.”

The Qingzhou City Lord was making sarcastic remarks at those who were being derisive.

He could tell at a glance what Ye Ping was doing. He originally did not want to intervene, but in the end, he couldn’t help but mock them.

All of a sudden, those people who were making sarcastic remarks all seemed extremely shocked and ashamed. In the end, they secretly left the crowd.

At this juncture…

The swords in the sky flew back into their hands.

The abnormalities vanished and Ye Ping opened his eyes too.
