Chapter 561: Chapter 237: Transformation, Eighty Percent Sword Intent!

Swoosh!

In an instant, everyone’s gaze was fixed on the figure within the Vortex Water Mirror.

“To pass through the Mist Forest so quickly, this is an unprecedented new record!”

Many Elders of the Luoxia Sect, including Elder Lin, stood up excitedly, eager to see who had achieved such an astounding feat!

Even Yin Li’s eyes flickered with interest, her bright gaze firmly locked onto the Vortex Water Mirror.

At this moment, Elder Lin remembered something and turned his gaze towards the Core Elder who had set up the Vortex Water Mirror:

“Elder Yun!”

Elder Yun nodded slightly, stepped forward, and lightly tapped towards the Vortex Water Mirror with a spiritual technique.

Buzz!

The Vortex Water Crystal shone brightly, and as it spun, the image rapidly enlarged, making the figure increasingly clear.

As the figure’s appearance became fully visible.

Suddenly, the entire platform fell into a strange silence, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop!

“Xuanyuan Sect disciple Luo Cheng… How is that possible!”

“A guy with a Wasted Martial Soul awakening, passing through the Mist Forest so quickly! That’s just too unbelievable!”

Staring at the handsome and elegant figure in the Vortex Water Mirror, many disciples of the Luoxia Sect were dumbfounded, whipped into a frenzy.

The Ninth Princess, Jin Yuxi, was also slightly taken aback. She had confidence in Luo Cheng, believing he would definitely pass the trial, but she didn’t expect him to perform so outstandingly.

Not only was he the first to set foot on the island, but now he’s also the first to pass through the Mist Forest, creating an unprecedented new record!

The present Luoxia Sect Elders looked somewhat embarrassed, as they all expected Yu Lanxin to be the first to pass the Mist Forest, never anticipating it would be a disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect!

Elder Bi Qiushui gently exhaled, turned her head towards Elder Lin with a sweet smile on her face: “Elder Lin, now the sheep has run to the forefront of the wolf pack.”

“Hmph!”

Elder Lin’s face turned a bit unsightly, but he sneered: “It’s just passing through the Mist Forest. Everyone knows that there is a portion of luck involved. His quick passing might just be due to good luck!”

“As you know, ascending Zang Mountain is the core part of this trial and the most difficult challenge! Let’s wait until he ascends Zang Mountain!”

Elder Lin’s clouded eyes were extremely sharp, piercing into Luo Cheng in the water screen.

Yin Li didn’t say anything, her gaze also fixed on Luo Cheng, her eyebrows furrowed as she suddenly said:

“I’ll go take a look!”

After speaking, Yin Li unfolded her figure and darted towards the direction of the Mimeng Zang Mountain.

Passing through the Mist Forest in half an incense stick of time is not something that can be explained by good luck.

Additionally, Yin Li recalled something.

Luo Cheng had once single-handedly broke through the Cuixia Valley’s Illusion Array and entered the Five-Colored Origin Spring!

At that time, she believed Luo Cheng’s claim that he merely had good luck, accidentally breaking in.

But once is like this, and twice is still like this!

This luck is just too defying the heavens!

Yin Li wanted to see with her own eyes what mystery Luo Cheng carried that allowed him to break her record!

Swoosh!

As Yin Li left, another Core Elder of the Luoxia Sect soared into the wind, following behind.

As for the others, they were helpless.

The eerie oppressive feeling of the Mimeng Zang Mountain penetrates the soul.

Even normal Earth Level Great Powers cannot circulate Essence Energy for long.

On the island.

Luo Cheng was unaware of the storm he had stirred.

After passing through the Mist Forest, he headed straight towards the towering Zang Mountain at the island’s center.

Swoosh!

A moment later, Luo Cheng arrived at the foot of Zang Mountain and looked up:

“This is Zang Mountain!”

The towering peak, with its dark red rocky walls, barren and lifeless, enveloped in radiant and eerie mist, was desolate yet mysterious. Just standing at the foot of the mountain, an inexplicable panic arose in his heart.

It was as if facing not a mountain peak, but an ancient giant beast, exuding an oppressive atmosphere.

Luo Cheng, with a powerful Soul Power, could even sense terrifying roars echoing within the mountain peak!

“It seems that the corpse of the Ancient King-level Demon Beast is buried beneath this mountain…”

Luo Cheng pondered to himself as he dashed towards the front right.

There lay a stone staircase over ten feet wide, winding its way up and disappearing into the mist.

This was the only path to ascend Zang Mountain.

Luo Cheng approached the stone steps and saw no one else.

“Forget it, let’s just go up first!”

Taking a deep breath, Luo Cheng stepped onto the stone stairway.

Buzz!

As soon as he stepped onto the stone stairs, a sudden and terrifying feeling of oppression magnified several times!

Luo Cheng only felt his feet grow as heavy as lead, and looking at the endless stone steps, a thought of retreat involuntarily arose in his heart.

“No way I’m retreating!”

With a low roar in his heart, Luo Cheng forcibly channeled his Sword Intent, cutting off all these negative emotions cleanly. He climbed the stone steps with pace as swift as flight!

In the clouds above the Mimeng Zang Mountain, two figures appeared faintly.

“To shake off the negative effects of Zang Mountain so quickly! Regardless of anything else, this kid’s resolute nature far surpasses others, truly rare!” exclaimed the Core Elder of the Luoxia Sect.

Yin Li, staring at Luo Cheng on the stone steps, nodded slightly and said: “After all, he is a Sword Dao talent who comprehended a Sword Intent Prototype, with a Spirit that generates its own sharpness. Suppressing this bit of negative emotion is not difficult.”

“However, what is truly terrifying about Zang Mountain is that the longer you stay, the more the oppressive feeling magnifies. This extreme oppression can even cause very realistic hallucinations. A mere Sword Intent Prototype cannot completely repress it.”

“Once he cannot overcome his inner fears, he will be at a standstill.”

As Yin Li said, with Luo Cheng’s continuous climb up the stone steps, the oppressive feeling from Zang Mountain increased in strength.

In the beginning, it was mild, but as he passed the mountainside, it grew stronger.

When Luo Cheng climbed to two-thirds of the stone steps, even seventy percent Perfect Sword Intent could not completely suppress this oppressive feeling.

Luo Cheng only felt his body becoming heavier and his speed gradually slowing down, and his mind no longer at peace.

The long road ahead, with endless stone steps, stretched towards the horizon, seemingly without an end.

As time went on, Luo Cheng’s heart grew more irritable and more frustrated.

It would have been better with a target, but the sight of endless stone steps, stretching unceasingly!

This aimless, repetitive tedium continued to accumulate in his heart, gradually engulfing him, as if there were a voice shouting within him—

Forget it!

Give up!

After all, success is impossible!

Why not just give up here…

“No!”

Luo Cheng suddenly snapped awake, struggling out of the sea of negative emotions.

“The Sword Dao cannot accommodate any impurities. If I don’t even believe in myself, what Sword Dao am I cultivating? Why go to the Ji Family?”

Luo Cheng looked at the winding, continuous stone steps, with eyes as sharp as blades.

“All trials, setbacks, and tests will become my grindstone, sharpening my edge! My heart is like a sword, my will is like a sword, unyielding and indomitable, pushing forward, cutting through thorns, vanquishing gods and demons! This is my will, my Sword Dao!”

Bang!

An intangible barrier within Luo Cheng seemed to break, his soul undergoing a baptism and transformation, with unprecedented clarity about his path, his Sword Dao!

The next moment.

Buzz!

A vast aura of sharpness burst forth from Luo Cheng, transforming into illusory Sword Qi that carried a terrifying aura of slaughter, even cutting through all the fearful atmosphere of the Zang Mountain!

Sword Intent and a swordsman’s mental state are closely connected. At the moment of spiritual transformation, Luo Cheng’s Sword Intent also rose correspondingly, reaching a higher level.
