Chapter 107 - Arc 8: Wuling Immortal Sect | Chapter 107 Yun Lie's Golden Core

Translator: Lynn

Xu Ziqing was startled, but before he could react, Qiu He whisked him away. His mind raced, and he recalled that the coercion he felt just now was indeed the same as Yun s.h.i.+xiong’s aura. However, Yun s.h.i.+xiong had just regained his celestial soul, and he was about to form a core!

The two of them flew at great speed, and the scenery inside the cave rapidly receded behind them. The junior sisters were protected by Master Qiu He’s cover, but their faces turned pale.

In a blink of an eye, they reached the outside of the cave. Master Qiu He continued to soar, heading straight out of the small bamboo peak, and then he released a long brocade silk, spreading it out like a cloud in midair.

Immortal Qiu He and Xu Ziqing stood on the brocade, and it retreated several feet before coming to a stop.

At this moment, Xiaozhu Peak was undergoing drastic changes!

An immensely powerful sense of swordsmans.h.i.+p emanated from the peak, enveloping the entire Xiaozhu Peak. The once verdant mountain now seemed frozen by ice, losing its original colors in an instant. A cold killing intent surged from the center, spreading in all directions like a tidal wave.

On top of the peak, an overwhelming killing intent shot up into the sky, resembling a gigantic sword piercing the heavens.

This killing intent was filled with boundless coldness and emotionlessness, making it terrifying and chilling. It condensed into a mysterious and profound will, rapidly growing stronger, forming a clear and pure, yet ruthlessly powerful sword intent.

The Ruthless Killing Sword Technique! The Ruthless Killing Sword Intent!

This sword intent unleashed its surging pressure, sweeping in all directions like a deluge. The murderous aura spread everywhere, leaving behind a trail of frost that carried a ruthless sword aura, capable of killing anyone it touched.

The surroundings of Xiaozhu Peak were completely frozen, and the icy influence was spreading to the nearby peaks. After a while, a faint h.o.a.rfrost began to condense on the peaks…

At that moment, several bright rays of light suddenly struck the tops of these small peaks. As the light rose, it enveloped the entire mountain peaks, forming a smooth, brocade-like barrier. As the Ruthless Killing Sword Intent pa.s.sed by, the barrier froze and made a cracking sound, but fortunately, it didn’t break.

The Ruthless Killing Sword Intent continued to move farther away, and the radius of a hundred miles was affected, with layers of snow-white frost gradually appearing.

Under the influence of the sword intent, countless peaks of disciples huddled within the barrier, mobilizing their true energy to resist but not daring to step outside.

Xu Ziqing and the others looked up at the sky, feeling extremely shocked.

Could that soaring object, as sharp as a pillar of the sky, be Brother Yun’s Ruthless Killing Sword Intent? How domineering and formidable!

Daoist Qiu He waved his hand and released a mask that covered the entire brocade like a layer of clouds. He then released all eight female disciples from the cover.

The girls supported each other, barely standing firm, and witnessing the boundless sword intent, their faces turned pale once again. Even after more than ten years, they still vividly remembered how they were nearly overwhelmed by the sword intent when they climbed the peak for the first time. Seeing this immense power now, it seemed even stronger than their memories. It was truly terrifying!

Seeing that the small peaks were resolutely resisting the sword intent and killing intent, suddenly, a figure leaped out from one of the peaks. This person moved like lightning, and as he emerged, a radiant light enveloped his body. He quickly performed several hand gestures and struck the outer light of the peak repeatedly. As another layer of light s.h.i.+mmered on the mask, he swiftly escaped and said, “Old man Qiu, open the restriction with me!”

Master Qiu He turned his head to look, shook his head, and smiled, “I knew this eccentric guy would come!” After that, he opened a hole in the mask with a wave of his hand, allowing the person to enter and then sealing it off.

The newcomer was also an old man, appearing to be about the same age as Master Qiu He, but he was very thin and slightly shorter in stature. His facial features were distinct, but his expression was peculiar. As he landed, he said, “Old Qiu, has your killing star formed a core?”

Qiu He’s eyes glinted with color as he answered, “Indeed.”

Turning his gaze, he scolded, “You may be about to form a core, but can’t you control yourself? The Ruthless Killing Sword is not to be taken lightly. Spreading it like this! It’s bad enough to damage one of my spiritual weapons. I’m really not done with you!”

Master Qiu He snorted, “Bah, you old man Zhu! Your favorite disciple is no match for one of my senior disciples. Even your first disciple hasn’t reached the Golden Core Transformation Stage yet, right? My first disciple, Yun Lie, is about to form a Golden Core!”

Old man Zhu Qingjuan was furious, “No one who has practiced this swordsmans.h.i.+p for thousands of years can form a Golden Core. How can one turn ruthlessness into benevolence!”

Master Qiu He became more and more complacent, “Just watch and see!”

In the past, his first disciple was rarely at Xiaozhu Peak, and when he was there, he kept to himself, and his relations.h.i.+p with him wasn’t close. Besides, he practiced such challenging swordsmans.h.i.+p. Now that his apprentice had such an ability, he wanted to show off to this guy!

So, Master Qiu He and Master Zhu Qingjuan both looked at the peak together. Both being Golden Core cultivators, they had a clearer view of Yun Lie’s breakthrough than ordinary people.

At the place where the sword intent reached the sky, a ray of purple light suddenly appeared in the air.

Soon, auspicious clouds gathered in large numbers, rolling in like waves, cras.h.i.+ng and beating, endlessly rolling!

The purple light shone upon the auspicious clouds, dyeing them with a layer of purple within a short time. It quickly soaked in, turning the clouds into a deep purple, dignified and heavy. Suddenly, purple clouds gathered in the sky above the top of Xiaozhu Peak, reflecting a magnificent and profound sight that covered half of the sky.

Immediately, Master Qiu He smiled with joy, “Sure enough, when Yun’er forms a core, it brings forth purple clouds. Excellent! Excellent!”

Seeing this, Master Zhu Qingjuan coldly snorted, “The calamity isn’t over yet, so don’t let extreme joy lead to sorrow!” Ignoring his acidic remark, he continued to watch with joy.

Xu Ziqing, having never witnessed anyone forming a pill, was immediately intrigued and asked in a low voice, “Master, what’s so special about these purple clouds?”

Master Qiu He, in a good mood, pointed out, “When the cultivator is in the process of forming a Golden Core, during this time, various visions manifest due to the acc.u.mulation of the Golden Core Transformation Stage. Among them, purple clouds are the most auspicious, followed by golden clouds, and white clouds are the least auspicious. Your senior brother advanced to the Golden Core Transformation Stage early and comprehended the sword intent, so his acc.u.mulation is naturally incomparably deep. As his master, I knew that once he formed a core, it would definitely be accompanied by purple clouds!”

A spark of understanding flashed in Xu Ziqing’s mind, and he inquired further, “Do these clouds have anything to do with their future cultivation paths?”

Seeing his keen understanding, Master Qiu He smiled and explained, “That’s right. The type of cloud received indicates the level of one’s acc.u.mulation. Those who receive purple clouds have acc.u.mulated a lot, and if they don’t fall halfway, it will be easier for them to attain Nascent Soul Stage in the future. Similarly, those who receive golden clouds are next in line, and those who receive white clouds… I’m afraid it will be more challenging for them to attain Nascent Soul Stage.” He cast a solemn gaze towards the rolling auspicious clouds on Xiaozhu Peak, “On the other hand, purple clouds also indicate that the breakthrough cultivator is facing will get more severe tribulations.”

At that moment, Yun Lie was also at a critical juncture.

With his friends.h.i.+p with Xu Ziqing as the foundation, he aroused the seven emotions, enabling him to confront his inner demons and successfully form the Golden Core!

The so-called heart demon tribulation was also the root cause that prevented the ruthless killing swordsman from reaching the Golden Core stage…

A black hole the size of a needlepoint suddenly appeared amidst the boundless purple clouds.

The black hole rapidly expanded, attracting winds from hundreds of miles around, constantly swirling. Eventually, it grew into a vortex about the size of the entire peak, sucking in all the endless killing sword energy, like a huge insatiable mouth, filled with greed and gluttony.

Then, a black light suddenly descended!

The black light was intangible and invisible, resembling a wisp of smoke but also akin to a black shadow. It quickly rushed towards the sword intent that reached the sky!

Countless ghosts and deities seemed to cry and wail, though their voices were inaudible upon careful listening.

This was the power of the inner demon. It wasn’t a physical attack but instead targeted the soul, entangling the consciousness, shaking the mind, and evoking the evil thoughts in one’s heart, amplifying them continuously… However, ordinary people would be helpless against inner demons. But Yun Lie was different.

He had the sword intent.

The sword intent is the manifestation of one’s mind, and it can take tangible or intangible forms. It has the power to attack the soul, and thus it can also confront demons.

With a sweep of the ruthless killing sword intent, the black shadow instantly let out a howl and vanished into nothingness!

However, the death of a heart demon doesn’t signify that the heart demon has been fully overcome.

Several streaks of black light shot out of the vortex, resembling countless ghostly shadows, rus.h.i.+ng towards the top of Xiaozhu Peak one after another. When these black shadows came into contact with the sword intent, they would disperse instantly, wailing incessantly.

Finally, the black light ceased to emerge from the vortex and suddenly quieted down.

Yet, in this calmness, there was a sense of antic.i.p.ation, as if something was about to happen.

This was the last obstacle, and also the most crucial one.

The sword intent could kill the heart demon, but it couldn’t eradicate the endless temptations unleashed by the heart demon.

Overcoming this temptation required relying on one’s own willpower and the clarity of one’s mind.

Whether Yun Lie had truly transformed the ruthless killing intent into a hint of compa.s.sion was yet to be seen.

Time pa.s.sed, and there was silence.

Suddenly, the sword intent at the top of Xiaozhu Peak dissipated, and within the cold killing intent and sword energy, a very faint and subtle fluctuation emerged. It seemed almost imperceptible, but it added a more profound aura to the sword energy and killing intent.

With this emergence, the frost that covered the sky transformed into wisps of white mist, dissipating entirely.

In the midst of the killing intent and sword energy, there was no longer just an endless chill.

Instead, a touch of warmth emanated from the coldness, like a guiding lamp, keeping one’s mind clear and wise.

The murderous intent that had enveloped the entire peak melted away like ice and snow, instantly vanis.h.i.+ng. Simultaneously, the areas previously affected by the murderous intent regained their vitality, as if spring had returned to the earth.

The black hole amidst the purple clouds gradually shrank until it disappeared entirely.

The clouds and mist cleared in the sky, and the environment transformed into a sunny and clear day.

The heart demon had been vanquished, and Yun Lie’s Golden Core had formed!

Xu Ziqing exhaled slowly, only now realizing that he had forgotten to breathe during the intense moment.
