Chapter 2688 - 2689: The Great Dao of the Sword

Chapter 2688: Chapter 2689: The Great Dao of the Sword

Ye Luo naturally noticed her doubt; at present, Luo Xue was merely lost in the situation! Logically speaking, her understanding of Sword Dao should be far more profound than Ye Luo’s, but the sudden occurrence made her afraid to touch Sword Dao again.

"Take a look, has the Luo Xue Sword changed?" Ye Luo suddenly said.

Luo Xue was stunned for a moment, then nodded; although the glow of the Luo Xue Sword seemed dimmer, the entire sword body was trembling slightly. The sword had a spirit and could communicate with its master.

At this moment, Luo Xue surprisingly felt a hint of joy from within the Luo Xue Sword!

This puzzled her; supposedly, the Sword Dao belonged to the Luo Xue Sword, and now that the Sword Dao was lost, the Luo Xue Sword should be saddened, maybe even damaged!

"You’ve seen it, haven’t you? The Sword Dao from before didn’t belong to the Luo Xue Sword, nor to you. You could say that the path you took before was wrong, but your understanding of the sword remains. Sword’s uniqueness you should know; even mere mortals can unleash utmost strength if their understanding is profound enough!" Ye Luo said with a smile.

Luo Xue was still somewhat hesitant.

"If you don’t believe it, you can try swinging the sword a bit!" Ye Luo continued.

Only then did Luo Xue clumsily lift the Luo Xue Sword.

But without the support of Sword Dao, it inevitably felt weak and lacked force; the entire sword seemed flat and unremarkable, devoid of power.

Thinking of this, Luo Xue was once again disappointed.

Ye Luo sighed again; ultimately, it was because Luo Xue was unwilling to touch Sword Dao.

"Close your eyes!" Ye Luo suddenly said.

Luo Xue didn’t ask further, instinctively closed her eyes.

"Imagine the scene when you first lifted the Luo Xue Sword!"

Luo Xue was bewildered for a moment, then lifted the Luo Xue Sword a bit higher.

"Do you remember the way you looked when you thrust your first sword?"

"When you cultivated to the realm of unity with the sword, how was that feeling?"

With Ye Luo’s guidance, the light of the Luo Xue Sword grew brighter, and the edge sharper and more fierce.

Although the momentum was not as formidable as before, the compelling feeling of capturing the soul was more intense than before!

It was evidently seen that Luo Xue’s understanding of the sword was truly profound.

"Now, thrust out!" Ye Luo’s voice suddenly increased in pitch.

Luo Xue then swung her sword, a ripping sound, and the restriction at the cave entrance broke open, a Sword Qi suddenly dispersed from the cave entrance.

Originally, the formation of the Cave Mansion was already somewhat damaged by the power of their battle, and the entrance was precisely the weak point of the restriction; thus the Sword Qi erupted outward.

On Demon God’s Mountain, many disciples stood high in the sky, searching for the source of the previous disturbance, only to see a Sword Qi shooting towards the sky. This Sword Qi wasn’t particularly strong, but the key was its purity!

One might say, this was the supreme Sword Dao!

Just like Luo Xue before, though she understood the Sword Dao, it wasn’t the true Sword Dao; rather it was a distorted Sword Dao that, over time, would suffer the sword’s backlash!

Similarly, Ye Luo’s Taiji Sword Dao, strictly speaking, wasn’t the true Sword Dao either; it was merely a kind of sword legacy!

But now, Luo Xue’s Sword Dao was the Sword’s Great Dao!

This sword even alarmed the upper echelon of the Demon God’s Hall; several Elders and the Hall Master quickly appeared.

In the Crown Prince Hall, the Great Crown Prince suddenly leaped up.

"What? Are you sure you didn’t see it wrong? Great, it seems, this is where the opportunity lies, Sword’s Great Dao! Quickly investigate, who unleashed that sword?" the Great Crown Prince urgently called out.

Immediately, several Guards hurriedly darted out.

"Such talent certainly needs to be firmly grasped in one’s own hands. No doubt, among the few new arrivals recently, Ye Luo and Luo Xue are both Sword Cultivators. Ye Luo can’t achieve this; it must be Luo Xue! It certainly must be her!"

Thinking of this, he dashed out in haste.

Ye Luo and Luo Xue naturally didn’t anticipate that this one sword would lead to so much.

At this moment, Luo Xue slowly opened her eyes, but her eyes had become incredibly bright; what happened earlier she naturally knew.

"Ye Luo, thank you!"

At this moment, the cold aura that previously surrounded Luo Xue was no more; she appeared much calmer, yet her temperament was even more charming than before.

Moreover, amidst her softness, there was an unparalleled sharpness that made it difficult for anyone to harbor disrespectful thoughts.

"This was originally your own understanding, you just didn’t realize it. What’s there to thank for?" Ye Luo replied with a smile.

Luo Xue was just about to speak, her expression suddenly changed, and Ye Luo likewise sensed the presence of many cultivators gathered at the cave entrance.

And with that earlier sword breaking the restriction at the entrance, the outside could essentially see everything inside the Cave Mansion.

"It seems we can only go out and deal with them now!" Ye Luo said with a bitter smile.

Previously, Luo Xue naturally wouldn’t have cared, but now she smiled and nodded, donned a veil, and followed Ye Luo outside.

As soon as they stepped out of the cave mansion, they saw a young man of unusual poise standing with his hands behind his back at the cave entrance. His aura was contained and not released, but Ye Luo could be sure that he was surely a strong Martial King Realm cultivator!

Such age, yet he had cultivated to such a realm, could completely be described as a prodigy.

His appearance indeed bore some resemblance to the Great Crown Prince; after a brief thought, Ye Luo guessed his identity should be a Crown Prince!

In this Demon God’s Hall, there were over a dozen Crown Princes, but the Great Crown Prince was the successor for the next Hall Master. However, if the Great Crown Prince proved clearly incompetent, he’d be replaced. Hence, the level of competition among the Crown Princes of the Demon God’s Hall was conceivable.

"Audacious, hurry and bow to the Third Prince!" Beside the young man, a middle-aged man shouted angrily.

He was also a Martial King Realm expert.

Ye Luo glanced at the young man again; he certainly wasn’t the kind of cultivator who shut himself off from the outside world; rather, during his time in Demon God’s Hall, he had gained a general understanding of the people and power structure within Demon God’s Hall.

The Third Prince’s reputation was not weaker than the Great Crown Prince’s, and his talent and capabilities were said to faintly surpass the Great Crown Prince’s. In terms of talent alone, it was indeed a bit superior.

However, Ye Luo disliked the aura emanating from him; such people must be ruthless in nature.

Yet, Demon God’s Hall still observed hierarchy; hence, Luo Xue and Ye Luo performed the ritual for the Third Prince.

"Hmm? Audacious, not even kneeling, you are mere newcomers, daring to be so bold. Are you tired of living?" The middle-aged man didn’t let it go, directly rebuking angrily.
