Sword Aura to the Heavens-Chapter 406 - 401: Questioning the Sword

In Li Fan's memory, when the Old Blind Man took him to the village, he already had a senior sister and two senior brothers.

Usually, he interacted more with his senior sister and junior brother, as the second senior brother spent most of his time in the village teaching children to read and learn principles.

Before Li Fan went to Lin'an County, he did not even know how strong Zhi Li Mountain was. Later, he had a doubt: his senior sister and junior brother were so formidable, and what about his second senior brother, who always said he only liked to read and didn't understand cultivation?

At least, Li Fan had never seen him take action. Even among the people of Zhi Li Mountain, very few disciples knew much about the second senior brother. Only the people in the village seemed to spend more time with him and held him in high regard.

As for outsiders, perhaps no one knew the Old Blind Man had such a disciple.

And at this moment, Li Fan unexpectedly saw his second senior brother, Mu Changqing, in the renowned White Jade Academy.

So, the person being discussed by the outside world was actually his second senior brother?

Beside Li Fan, the eyes beneath Lu Yuan's mask were quite peculiar; she undoubtedly recognized Mu Changqing, though not very familiar, she had seen him before.

A disciple of Zhi Li Mountain becoming a lecturer at White Jade Academy?

Li Fan was also emotional; previously, the second senior brother taught lessons to children, but now, in front of him sat the distinguished people of the Great Li World, such a contrast made him a bit unaccustomed.

So, does the second senior brother really not understand cultivation?

Yet, in retrospect, none of the Old Blind Man's disciples are simple. This second senior brother, who keeps a low profile, must naturally possess extraordinary qualities; otherwise, how could he have entered White Jade or become a lecturer at White Jade Academy?

Mu Changqing seemed to sense something, glanced towards Li Fan's direction, but at this moment, Li Fan had changed his appearance. Mu Changqing might not have recognized him and simply swept his gaze over before withdrawing it.

The crowd remained quietly waiting, with more people gradually arriving here, and quite a few students from White Jade Academy also showed up.

After some time, An Zhiyao and his party flew over here, landing next to the students of White Jade Academy, bowing to the elder and saying, "Mr. Yan, the array has been closed."

"Thank you." Yan Chong responded with a smile, then looked at the arriving group, smiling and saying, "Congratulations on passing through the White Jade array; since you came to seek the Dao, what do you wish to 'ask'?"

At this time, the massive square was divided into two sides.

The students of White Jade Academy stood on one side, while those who came to ask about White Jade stood scattered on the opposite side; around ten people had arrived here, making it seem a bit sparse.

"Shall I leave first?" At this time, Mu Changqing rose and said to Yan Chong.

"Just take a look as well, no need to hurry," Yan Chong said with a smile. "Perhaps someone might want to ask you about the Dao as well."

"Alright, then let's have a look." Mu Changqing held a scroll of books behind his back, his eyes gazing toward the crowd in front.

They saw a figure moving forward, drawing the crowd's attention as Sword Aura surrounded the figure, emanating from his body.

"Yue Yunxiao, what's he going to do?" they said. Lingxiao Pavilion's Yue Yunxiao was releasing his Sword Intent.

"I want to ask about Xiao Lv's sword."

Yue Yunxiao's sharp voice spread far and wide, causing the halls of White Jade Academy to seem to tremble, echoing his voice.

His trip to Jade City had two purposes: one was for Wen Ruyu, and the other was for White Jade's Xiao Lv.

In contemporary Da Li Swordsmanship, his Lingxiao Pavilion reigns supreme; in the future, Jiang Taie will certainly become the number one sword in the world.

But for now, among the young generation of Da Li sword cultivators, there are those whose swords are even sharper.

The leading student of White Jade Academy, Xiao Lv, is rumored to have a Daoist skill that astounds the heavens, with Sword Aura soaring to the skies; he is also one of the candidates for the future number one sword in Da Li.

Therefore, he is asking about White Jade today, wanting to see Xiao Lv's sword.

The students of White Jade Academy all looked towards Yue Yunxiao, and those eyes seemed to carry a hint of mockery, mocking Yue Yunxiao's overestimation of himself.

Even though he is a top sword cultivator of Lingxiao Pavilion, to ask about Xiao Lv's sword?

This Yue Yunxiao clearly does not have the qualifications.

It's said that the most talented individual in Lingxiao Pavilion right now is Jiang Taie; maybe after some more years of growth, Jiang Taie would have the qualifications.

"Perhaps, Sir, you should first ask about other swords." Within the crowd of White Jade Academy, a voice calmly spoke. Lingxiao Pavilion might be at its pinnacle now.

But here, is White Jade.

"Since I came to ask about White Jade and have arrived here, is this how White Jade Academy treats its guests?" Yue Yunxiao asserted, demanding about only Xiao Lv's sword.

A sweeping Sword Wind fell upon the crowd of White Jade Academy, wielding a sharpness that caused many to furrow their brows, the fierce Sword Intent growing stronger.

"Very well."

From afar, amidst the palatial structures of White Jade Academy, a voice came from the distance, and along with the voice came a surge of Sword Intent, causing everyone to look toward the far direction.

At this time, they felt a peculiar sensation; they didn't see Xiao Lv's figure, yet it was as if they saw a sword.

Li Fan, being a sword cultivator, felt it most intensely. He looked up, his Divine Sense penetrating space, as if he saw a sword suspended in the distant direction, and behind the sword, he vaguely saw a blurred figure.

Yue Yunxiao's figure soared into the sky, like a sword piercing the clouds. The overwhelming might of the sword emanated from him, and at once, numerous sharp swords flowed out above the crowd, forming countless giant swords that materialized. As the crowd looked up, an overwhelming pressure came crashing down, and the flowing giant swords turned into a river of swords, drowning the sky above.

At this time, a figure from the distance walked in, entering the Sword Domain.

"Xiao Lv."

Shen Jing fixed his gaze on the appearing figure, Sword Intent surging from his body. He dared to directly step into the Sword Domain?

Within the Sword Domain, giant swords tore space, attacking that figure, but the figure seemed illusory, just leisurely walking within the Sword Domain, his body slightly sidestepping as the giant swords grazed past him. Xiao Lv extended his hand, flicked a finger on the giant sword, and instantly, that giant sword disintegrated and shattered.

Shen Jing's heart throbbed intensely; this...

Li Fan also felt his heart stir; a flick of the finger breaking a sword?

This Yue Yunxiao was at the Middle Realm of Dao Body cultivation, already a Great Sword Cultivator, and though Xiao Lv's cultivation should be at the Late-stage Dao Body, such overwhelming dominance wasn't expected.

Only to see Xiao Lv strolling leisurely in the Sword Domain, with every flick of his finger, a giant sword would shatter, and what shattered equally was Yue Yunxiao's Dao heart.

The Sword Domain erupted, and myriad Sword Intent gathered, all swords united into one, transforming into an Opened Heaven Sword. Yue Yunxiao pushed the sword forward, and wherever it passed, space seemed on the verge of collapse and fragmentation.

Xiao Lv halted his steps, forming seals with his hands. Instantly, sword light illuminated around him, as if a Sword Immortal had descended to the world. He raised his hand and pointed forward, a meager little sword falling upon the great sword. Compared together, it was like a glimmer of light compared to the sun and moon, yet the glimmer of light grew brighter, gradually breaking the great sword, tearing it apart.

Yue Yunxiao's sword disassembled, and with it, the Sword Domain dispersed. His figure still hovered in mid-air, somewhat dazed.

He knew he would lose but didn't expect to lose so miserably.

Not only was it Yue Yunxiao, but even the heaven's chosen who came to ask about the Dao had solemn expressions, looking up at that transcendent and unparalleled figure.

Xiao Lv appeared to be in his thirties, wearing a tied crown, with a slender figure and a seemingly ordinary sword strapped to his back.

"Thank you for the lesson," Yue Yunxiao regained his composure, eventually not losing his demeanor, and addressed Xiao Lv.

Xiao Lv returned the courtesy with clasped hands, saying, "You flatter me."

Yue Yunxiao's figure returned to his original position, Shen Jing looking at him idly, seeing Yue Yunxiao with a solemn expression, not knowing what to say.

White Jade Academy's leading student truly lived up to his name.

"How do you find Xiao Lv's sword?" Beside him, Yan Chong softly asked Mu Changqing.

"Naturally excellent," Mu Changqing replied.

"Just excellent?" Yan Chong looked at him.

"What answer does sir wish for?" Mu Changqing asked.

"Can he become the future number one sword of Da Li?" Yan Chong inquired.

"No." Mu Changqing shook his head.

"Oh?" Yan Chong smiled at him, slightly surprised by the direct response, and asked, "Why, perhaps you have another candidate in mind?"

Mu Changqing's gaze wandered into the distance, leaving the question unanswered.

Because there is someone destined to become the number one sword in the world.

Yan Chong didn't mind, smiling without speaking; the cultivation world of the Great Li World was becoming more and more intriguing.
