Chapter 203: Chapter 113: Standing Shoulder to Shoulder with a Cave Void Cultivator_4
Feng Buming and a few cultivators from the Emperor Sword Sect exchanged glances, then followed suit.
Their sword intent cultivation was quite impressive; they wouldn’t be stopped in this area. The reason they paused here was purely out of curiosity about how Lu Yi had managed to enter the Sword Dao Platform without condensing sword intent beforehand. They simply wanted to test the extent of Lu Yi’s abilities.
Soon, they continued deeper into the Sword Dao Platform.
As they delved further into the Sword Dao Platform, the sword intent became increasingly intense. Lu Yi felt unaffected, but the vast majority of sword cultivators could not withstand it and halted their progress there.
Only cultivators whose sword intent had reached 70% or more could continue deeper.
At this point, the majority were older generation sword cultivators. Among the younger generation, there were only a few, including Lu Yi, Jian Ruyu, and Feng Buming. There was also a plainly dressed cultivator, whose body was enveloped in a transparent sword light that even carried a trace of mystical force, similar to Heavenly Dao Pressure.
This was Wang Qifeng, who was known alongside Jian Ruyu as a prodigy of the Divine Sword Sect.
In Lu Yi’s perception, Wang Qifeng’s sword intent was slightly stronger than Jian Ruyu’s, more than 80% but not by much.
Aside from him, there were several other talented disciples from powerful sword sects of the Eastern Domain. Even if they were not on par with the Divine Sword Sect, they were not far behind, and all had reached the Nascent Soul Realm.
Having achieved 70% sword intent at the Nascent Soul Realm, they were candidates for becoming the future top powerhouses among Eastern Domain Sword Cultivators. With such potential, attaining the Mahayana stage was within view, and even crossing tribulation might be possible for them.
At this stage, they were nearing the central area of the Sword Dao Platform, and it was becoming difficult for the cultivators to withstand the pressure.
Cultivators with 70% sword intent stopped to refine themselves with the sword intent of the Sword Dao Platform and exchanged insights with peers of similar comprehension.
Less than twenty people continued to advance. After some distance, even Jian Ruyu began to struggle. The jade-like sword dragon around her showed signs it might shatter at any moment. Her face was pale, and beads of sweat dotted her forehead.
Jian Ruyu exhaled and said with a smile to Lu Yi, “Senior Sister can only stay here. You go on by yourself.”
Nearby, Elder Ming also felt tremendous pressure and frowned deeply, “Kiddo Lu, this old man can only stop here too.”
Besides them, Wang Qifeng, Feng Buming, and even many Cave Void Realm sword cultivators halted, feeling enormous pressure.
The only cultivators who remained standing, other than Lu Yi, were two middle-aged men and a beautiful woman.
These three exuded an aura deep and vast, all at the Cave Void Realm.
The Divine Sword Sect had rules stating that only sword cultivators below the Cave Void Realm could step onto the Sword Dao Platform. Unification Realm cultivators had too strong a Spiritual Energy Cultivation. Even if they could suppress sword intent pressure, they wouldn’t feel the Sword Dao pressure and so wouldn’t benefit from the tempering process.
Otherwise, even Unification Realm sword cultivators might have sought the challenges of the Sword Dao Platform.
The sword cultivation of these three Cave Void Realm cultivators was exceptionally strong. Lu Yi could sense that their sword intent had surpassed 90%.
They probably came to the Sword Dao Platform to refine themselves with sword intent, aiming to perfect their own sword intent.
Lu Yi might not know the three, but to comprehend such sword intent at the Cave Void Realm, they must be extremely rare figures even in the Eastern Domain.
At this moment, the three ultimate sword cultivators of the Cave Void Realm looked at Lu Yi with complex expressions.
After all, Lu Yi was only in the Golden Core Realm, and now he stood side by side with these three Cave Void cultivators.
Not just them, but the sword cultivators outside the Sword Dao Platform were also incredibly shocked. They couldn’t imagine how a Golden Core Cultivator could surpass so many Cave Void cultivators in sword intent and reach such a stage.
The three Cave Void cultivators observed Lu Yi with gentle expressions; after all, such sword talent was astounding.
The beautiful woman, carrying an elegant long sword, chuckled, “Little guy, can you continue to go deeper?”
The other two also looked at Lu Yi.
Lu Yi smiled and nodded, “I can still walk alongside the three seniors.”
“Hahaha! To think our Eastern Domain has given rise to such a sword talent is truly a joyous occasion,” said a handsome middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, laughing heartily with a bold spirit. “Since that’s the case, then let’s continue to delve deeper.”
