The sound of the sword ringing echoed through heaven and earth.
At this moment, on the cloud steps, the young girl’s figure seemed to be the only one in the world.
[Congratulations, Host, you have invested in ‘Ying Bing’, helping her achieve clarity of sword heart.]
[You have an investment feedback to claim.]
Ke Mo: “…..”
It’s, uh, quite abrupt.
It seems that Ice Chunk has made up her mind; after the enlightenment, she suddenly understood something?
Maybe because she is the red celestial mandate, even resolving mental exhaustion can be so extraordinary…
As everyone knows.
Ice Chunk’s rewards are usually shocking.
But now, under everyone’s watchful eyes, it’s not convenient to claim them…..
“No need to thank me, I also benefited greatly.”
“This is not the same thing.”
Ying Bing gently shook her head, a gentle light appeared in her clear eyes.
How can the progress on the consciousness soul compare to achieving clarity of sword heart?
Moreover, what she gained from that bright moon was not just that.
That moon imprinted on Ke Mo’s consciousness soul was truly extraordinary.
Mysterious, tranquil, eternal.
She took a fleeting glance at it, but still couldn’t fully explore its entirety…..
“Ice Chunk.”
“Hmm?”
“If we have time in the future, we can occasionally visit the second floor of Phoenix Singing Heavenly Marsh…”
“Okay.”
Ying Bing nodded without hesitation.
Afterward, she held Ke Mo’s hand and continued forward.
“…..”
Ke Mo couldn’t help but smile helplessly.
The familiar Ice Chunk is back, and even more so than before?
Her graceful figure swayed, though clearly she was leading the way towards the top of the Sword Building, it made people feel like the Sword Building was actively drawing her in.
Before long.
The three of them finally stepped on solid ground again.
Ke Mo looked around.
At the top of the Sword Building, there were no extra structures, only a waterfall and a clear spring.
The light of the waterfall sparkled, the mist sprayed out by the water made the skin tighten.
The clear pond seemed real, with aquatic plants, fish, lotuses, and stones…..
Ke Mo could tell.
This waterfall and clear pond were not real, everything within was formed by various qi, intentions, and shapes.
Everyone gazed over, unable to hold their breath.
“That is the strange stone that bears the Horizontal Cloud Sword Marks.”
Elder Zeng stepped onto the rooftop and pointed casually.
Immediately, the waterfall divided.
Through the crystal-clear mist, one could vaguely see a stone in the waterfall, as if it had endured the washing of countless years of flowing water, ancient and simple.
Concentrating on it, it made one’s mind sway.
The sword mark on it was shocking to behold, causing one’s consciousness to tremble upon seeing it.
“Sword Mark Strange Stone…..”
Ke Mo’s attention was drawn to the stone itself that bore the sword mark.
For some reason.
When he saw this stone, fragments from Journey to the West flashed in his mind:
“On the coast of Ao Lai Country in the Eastern Shengzhou, there is a Fruit Mountain, at the peak of which there is a stone, bathed in the sun and moon’s essence, enduring wind and rain…”
Whether it was because the waterfall itself easily evoked thoughts of the Water Curtain Cave or because the stone was too extraordinary.
“Hmm…” Jiang Chulong’s gray eyes behind the cloth were utterly engrossed.
Ying Bing’s beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed, seemingly having seen through the various qi and intentions, discovering their essence.
Ke Mo recalled his thoughts.
He didn’t know what method Yin Mianmian used, but the disguised woman was also there.
He had clearly informed Bai Jinghong about her information and asked him to pass it on to Elder Zeng.
Why hasn’t the Sword City taken any action yet?
Is it planning to cast a wide net to catch a big fish, aiming to wipe out the power of the Misty Rain Tower in Yunzhou in one fell swoop?
“The sword mark requires attention to the consciousness soul to appreciate its subtleties.”
Reminder: The functions such as “Switch between Simplified and Traditional Chinese,” “Adjust Font Size,” and “Reading Background Color” are available at the top right corner of the page.

“Therefore, only one person can comprehend at a time.”
Elder Zeng said, looking at several Sword City disciples including Bai Jinghong:
“Chushu, go first, let your teacher see if you have made any progress.”
“Yes.”
Wu Chushu stepped forward.
He crossed the waterfall divided by Elder Zeng, his expression solemn, and walked to the front of the sword mark strange stone.
Kneeling down, he began to earnestly contemplate.
Buzz—
A wave of consciousness fluctuation came, and the scene of divine intent appeared around him.
His face turned slightly pale, bearing immense pressure, but his expression gradually became surprised.
It seemed.
“What sword technique did he comprehend?”
Li Mo fixed his gaze.
In the clear pond, petals floated in the water at some point.
Before long.
Wu Chushu stood up, first taking a pill to restore his consciousness soul, then returned to Elder Zeng and bowed.
Elder Zeng smiled and said loudly:
“Wu Chushu has comprehended an advanced martial art, The Lavish Washing Sword Technique!”
Do not underestimate advanced martial arts.
In the martial world, many small sects would be enough to establish themselves with a single intermediate martial art. How much more so when it is created entirely by oneself, perfectly suited to oneself.
Moreover, there are differences among advanced martial arts.
This Lavish Washing Sword Technique is significantly stronger than the martial art Wu Chushu comprehended last time.
Given time, he will surely come up with a supreme skill.
Everyone took a deep breath, feeling a sense of longing.
Next.
Bai Jinghong and Cao Mu both went up one after another.
Cao Mu’s situation was similar to Wu Chushu’s.
Bai Jinghong, however, attracted a lot of attention.
Suddenly.
A silver-scaled divine fish appeared in the clear pond.
Elder Zeng’s voice was particularly loud this time:
“Bai Jinghong has comprehended a lower-grade supreme sword technique!”
“Not bad, although it is just one technique, Jinghong has made significant progress this time!”
The voice spread below.
The elders’ brows relaxed.
At Bai Jinghong’s age, being able to comprehend a supreme technique is extremely rare in the Hengyun Sword City.
Without the divine technique, supreme techniques are almost the pinnacle of martial arts!
Everyone was stunned.
“Is Young Knight Bai’s sword talent really that high?”
“But he was easily defeated by that little girl on the arena.”
“So… isn’t that little girl even more terrifying?”
“Young Knight Bai once kowtowed and worshipped Sword Immortal Li, so wouldn’t our Sword Immortal Li… be reaching for the divine technique?”
Whispers arose.
On top of the Sword Building.
Everyone’s gaze turned to Li Mo and the others.
At this moment, Elder Zeng spoke:
“Little girl, you can go over too.”
“I…”
Jiang Chulong bit her lip and turned around.
“Crafty.”
Li Mo patted her head with a divine technique.
Seeing Brother Li’s encouraging look and feeling the warmth on her head, she nodded firmly.
She mustn’t let Brother Li down…
Thus.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes,
Jiang Chulong also walked to the strange stone.
Swish—
In the next moment.
A streak of emerald green rapidly spread in the clear pond.
