Chapter 683 - 672: Residual Thought of the Wudang Disciple

Mastering thirteen almost Shattering Level sword skills in one breath.

Ding Ling’s agility skyrocketed.

His progress had already reached: 116.7 points.

He had made a leap of over a dozen points in a short time.

This speed was extremely terrifying.

It even gave Ding Ling a slight sense of hunger.

Fortunately, with the full mastery of Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill, the rapid advancement of the War God Technique, and the surge of True Qi, Ding Ling’s ability to resist hunger had undergone a tremendous change.

Even in an extremely hungry state now, he couldn’t possibly pass out from hunger.

After all, if his arms and legs could regenerate instantly when chopped off, what was mere hunger compared to that?

"More and more Sword Spirits are coming."

Ding Ling gazed around and saw more and more spiritual light rushing in from all directions like a tide.

Some of these spiritual lights were no longer human-shaped, containing only a trace of pure Sword Thought!

This Sword Thought perhaps was a person’s obsession transformed after their death, unable to become Sword Spirits, leaving only a bit of Sword Thought. However, even so, it crazily pounced towards the Domain Crystal.

It was evident that Domain Crystals were incomparable Treasures of Heaven and Earth for Sword Thought!

"Come as many as you want, kill as many as you can."

Ding Ling would not show mercy to these more shattered spirits, Sword Souls, or Sword Thoughts, just as he wouldn’t hesitate to kill the humanoid Sword Spirits.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

This time, hundreds of Sword Spirits attacked. They did not form a Sword Array but went about their individual attacks, unleashing killing moves at Ding Ling. For a moment, various Sword Intents and Sword Qi crisscrossed in the void, forming a dense Sword Sea that surged toward Ding Ling like a Mountain Shifting and Sea Overturning force.

Ding Ling activated his Defense Shield, amplifying himself forty times. With a clear shout, the Spirit Killing Sword exploded once more, whoosh whoosh!

Supported by Sword Spirits, the Spirit Killing Sword accelerated, becoming more fierce and flexible, maneuvering with complete freedom in the void!

Amid the whooshing, the Spirit Killing Sword, like a flash of lightning, pierced through the Void Nether, and in the next instant, puffs and puffs!

Various Residual Spirits, Residual Souls, and Residual Thoughts were entirely shattered.

Subsequently, in the void appeared trails of spiritual light like meteor tails!

Some of the spiritual light had already dimmed to the point of being barely visible to the naked eye.

But what kind of person was Ding Ling?

No matter how faint the spiritual light was, supported by Sword Spirits, he could perceive it with absolute clarity.

Especially since the Domain Crystal being devoured and refined by the Sword Spirit was increasing, the power of this support was growing stronger.

Thus, Ding Ling sensed them clearly and captured them more precisely!

His actions were lightning-fast.

Amid the swishing sounds, hundreds of spiritual lights were grasped one by one into his palm, integrated into his meridians, and then sensed by Ding Ling.

Subsequently...

[Coiling Finger Soft Sword Technique Full Level!]

[Yin Yang Swordsmanship Full Level!]

[Tai Chi Swordsmanship Full Level!]

[Agility +0.4]

[Thunderbolt Swordsmanship Full Level!]

[Agility +0.1]

...

Even though there were hundreds of spiritual lights.

There were at least dozens of repeated sword techniques.

Therefore, the number of sword techniques Ding Ling finally obtained was only around 50.

But even so, it was quite remarkable.

However, most of these sword techniques only increased points by 0.1.

There were quite a few that didn’t even add points.

The reason was that the levels of these sword techniques weren’t high. They could only be considered Innate Level sword skills.

And Innate Level sword skills no longer had any effect on Ding Ling’s Attribute Points.

Regarding this.

Ding Ling didn’t think much of it. To him, this unexpected battle with the Sword Spirits and Residual Spirits, and the acquisition of so many sword techniques was already a rare opportunity that couldn’t be expected to be perfect in every aspect.

"But Coiling Finger Soft Sword Technique, Yin Yang Swordsmanship, Tai Chi Swordsmanship, aren’t these the sword techniques of the Wudang Sect? Could it be that disciples of the Wudang Sect from other worlds came to the Wind and Cloud World, and after being killed, their Residual Thoughts inadvertently entered this Sword Realm?"

Ding Ling was puzzled.

But he could indeed confirm that among the recently slain group of spirits formed from shattered obsessions, many seemed to have been born not long ago.

The reason he knew this.

Was because as Ding Ling continued to refine the Domain Crystal, his sense of the spirits in the Sword Realm became increasingly acute.

Especially as Ding Ling’s own Sword Spirit was also born not long ago, naturally making his perception of newly born spirits exceptionally vivid.

"It seems that great changes are indeed occurring in the Sword Realm, unbeknownst to us."

More and more Ascenders from other worlds were flooding into the Wind and Cloud World.

And in such a High Martial World.

Grandmaster Level battles occurred frequently.

Shattering Level battles occasionally erupted as well!

First-class Experts and Innate Experts from the Lower Realm, encountering such battles, the shockwaves alone would be enough to kill them. If they were deliberately targeted by people from Japan, it would surely result in large-scale casualties.

Among the hundred Residual Spirits just now, there might have been a group transformed from the Posthumous Will of deceased Wudang Sect Experts who had ascended. It’s just unknown who these Wudang Sect Experts were.

"What a pity."

Ding Ling shook his head, not thinking too much about it.

After the death of these Wudang Sect Experts, the Sword Thought Sword Intent they wielded would fall into the Sword Realm along with their Posthumous Will, and in time, they would certainly become experts similar to Jian Yue. But they recklessly came to snatch his Domain Crystal, so who could they blame for their own deaths?

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Again came a group of spirits so shattered they couldn’t be seen or sensed.

One by one, they roared towards Ding Ling, with an earth-shattering aura, but were extremely weak.

Ding Ling let out a cold snort, not amplifying his Spirit Killing Sword, merely maneuvering the ordinary Spirit Killing Sword freely through the void, puff puff! Hundreds of spirits were pierced and shattered.

The lingering spiritual lights they left behind were so dim that even Shattering Level experts would find it hard to detect!

Only a Sword Spirit gradually attuned to the Domain Crystal could sense them.

And Ding Ling was one with the Sword Spirit.

He naturally could sense them too.

He executed Dragon Capturing Skill, continually grabbing into the void.

He had a strong premonition.

If grabbed too slowly.

These spiritual lights, undetectable by Shattering Level experts, would surely dissipate entirely, merging into the Sword Realm, enhancing its foundational strength.

How could Ding Ling leave such benefits to the Sword Realm?

Whoosh whoosh!

The spiritual lights, invisible to the naked eye and scarcely perceivable, were caught in his palm, then integrated into his body and rapidly perceived by him.

In just an instant.

[Demon-subduing Swordsmanship Full Level!]

[Rouyun Swordsmanship Full Level!]

[Diancang Swordsmanship Full Level!]

[Shangqing Swordsmanship Full Level]

[Agility +0.3]

...

As many as three hundred sword techniques mastered to Full Level.

The depth of Ding Ling’s Sword Dao foundation grew with astonishing speed.

Not only that.

As various sword techniques mastered to Full Level, various pure Sword Intents emerged on Ding Ling’s body.

Weaker sword techniques, weaker Sword Intent.

But the aggregation of hundreds of extremely weak Sword Intents was already quite remarkable!

Not to mention that among these weaker sword techniques were quite a few extraordinary sword skills.

This not only caused Ding Ling’s Attribute Points to soar considerably.

But his embodiment of Sword Intent was becoming more and more powerful!
