Chapter 207: Chapter 119: Preparing for Foundation Establishment, Goal... First Grade Great Dao Immortal Foundation!

[Cyan Lotus Sword Technique: Breaking Realm 1/30,000]

[Effect: Take the Cyan Lotus as a sword; when the sword strikes, lotus flowers bloom.]

The Cyan Lotus Sword Technique was an exclusive Sword Technique that Lu Chen had comprehended after witnessing Yi Hanqing’s Peach Blossom Sword Intent and Shangguan Yunmeng’s Bright Moon Sword Intent.

After all, as the saying goes, what suits others may not necessarily suit oneself. While the Sword Intents of Yi Hanqing and Shangguan Yunmeng were excellent, they were only perfect for those two. Therefore, while learning from their Sword Intents, Lu Chen had integrated his own Sword Dao Insights. This allowed him to create a Swordsmanship that perfectly suited himself—the Cyan Lotus Sword Technique.

Within this Swordsmanship lay traces of both Yi Hanqing’s Peach Blossom Sword Intent and Shangguan Yunmeng’s Bright Moon Sword Intent. It was a rare and unique Sword Technique that harbored a Dual Sword Intent.

The reason he actively sought out Shangguan Yunmeng for a Dao discussion after comprehending this technique wasn’t because he cared much about winning or losing. He purely wanted to use Shangguan Yunmeng’s Sword Intent to hone his own Cyan Lotus Sword Intent, just to see if it could help him perfect it.

Lu Chen had a feeling that this Sword Intent might become his second skill capable of leading straight to the Harmonization Realm. After all, from its very inception, this Swordsmanship had fused two distinct Sword Intents.

Meanwhile, on the Dao arena, as Shangguan Yunmeng unleashed her Sword Intent, the familiar illusion of the bright moon appeared before Lu Chen once again.

Faced with this ethereal scene, Lu Chen didn’t look at Shangguan Yunmeng. Instead, his gaze fell upon the reflection of the bright, full moon in the pool of water on the ground. Or rather, he was looking at the phantom of the Fairy dancing upon the moon’s reflection in the pool.

Just as Lu Chen stared intently at the bright moon in the pool, Shangguan Yunmeng’s Bright Moon Sword Intent began to spread toward him. An invisible chill instantly swept over his body. Not only did the water’s surface around Lu Chen quickly freeze over, but a layer of white frost also began to form on his eyebrows.

Yet, Lu Chen acted as if he hadn’t noticed a thing.

Seeing this, Shangguan Yunmeng frowned. She wondered if he was truly unafraid of getting hurt with such an unresisting attitude. She knew that although she was only using her Sword Intent to attack him at the moment, it didn’t mean her Sword Intent dealt no damage. If Lu Chen remained this indifferent, even just the Sword Intent alone would cause him significant harm!

Lu Chen’s strange behavior also left the surrounding onlookers looking bewildered.

The Meow King watched him and said in confusion, "What is this kid doing? Going up there for a Dao discussion with this girl without even grasping a Sword Intent... isn’t he just inviting humiliation?"

Indeed, looking at Lu Chen, who hadn’t moved an inch from the start, the Meow King assumed he hadn’t mastered a Sword Intent at all. For someone without a Sword Intent to debate the Dao with someone who had mastered one was like a kindergartener challenging a boxing champion—it was both comical and ridiculous.

Similar thoughts surfaced in the minds of the numerous Golden Core Stage Cultivators watching from the clouds above. They were equally baffled as to what Lu Chen was trying to do.

However, there was one person whose doubts differed from the rest. Looking at Lu Chen’s contemplative expression, Jing Gong couldn’t figure out why Lu Chen—who had clearly mastered more than one Sword Intent—still hadn’t unleashed his own. He wondered if this kid was in the midst of comprehending something.

At that thought, Jing Gong immediately began to observe him more closely. Through this careful observation, he actually noticed some clues.

Faint cracks were slowly beginning to appear on the frozen surface around Lu Chen. At first, they were only at Lu Chen’s feet, but then they continuously spread outward.

Others might not have noticed this detail, but Shangguan Yunmeng on the Dao arena saw it clearly. As if realizing something, she didn’t rush to unleash the full power of her Sword Intent. Instead, she gradually increased its intensity.

Throughout this process, Lu Chen’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.

[Through your comprehension, the skill Cyan Lotus Sword Technique has been upgraded to ’Entering the Dao’...]

CRACK!

Following a crisp shattering sound, the ice at Lu Chen’s feet broke apart completely, and Cyan Lotus flowers instantly bloomed from the fissures. Immediately after, a distinct lotus Flower Fragrance began to permeate the arena.

Gripping the Spirit Sword in his hand, Lu Chen lowered his head to look at the full moon reflected on the pool’s surface and said earnestly, "May I ask... where is the Sword Immortal at the bottom of the pool?"

With that, Lu Chen swung his sword toward the mysterious figure standing upon the full moon in the pool. Countless lotus petals gathered to form a Giant Sword of the Cyan Lotus, descending upon the Fairy on the bright moon at the bottom of the pool.

Before Shangguan Yunmeng even had time to react, the mysterious figure in the water calmly pointed out a single finger.

In the next second, Lu Chen’s giant lotus sword shattered instantly. Along with it, his body was forced three steps back, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. It was evident that he had suffered significant injuries.

However, not only was Lu Chen not angry about this, but he instead seemed to have attained some form of enlightenment.

[Through the guidance of ’****’, the upper limit of the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent has been unlocked. Experience Points can now be used to upgrade it to the ’Harmonization Dao’...]

Lu Chen looked at the shattered Spirit Sword in his hand, then turned to the bewildered Shangguan Yunmeng in the distance. Cupping his fists, he said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior."

After saying that, he turned and stepped down from the arena.

From beginning to end, other than swinging that final strike, Lu Chen hadn’t done a single unnecessary thing. This highly anticlimactic scene left many people completely bewildered as to what he had just done.

A moment later, however, someone finally began to process what had happened.

"He... seems to be at the Qi Cultivation Stage too, right?" a Cyan Cloud Sect disciple said in slight astonishment, looking at Lu Chen, who had already returned offstage and was sitting in meditation to channel his Luck and energy.

Hearing this, the disciple next to him nodded. "Yes, he’s at the Qi Cultivation Stage. And judging by that final moment, he must have comprehended his own Sword Intent. Truly an exceptionally gifted talent! Since when did Sword Concealment Peak produce another Unparalleled Sword Immortal? How come there was absolutely no news about this before?"
