The old Sword Cultivator had probably made an appearance to have a look at the Sword of Divine Destruction. He was gone after that.

On the other hand, the emotions were undulating in Lu Ye’s heart. The old man had said the Sword of Divine Destruction wasn’t a single-use treasure, but Lu Ye was more concerned about the fact that his Eldest Senior Brother was brought up.

Lu Ye knew little about the Eldest Senior Brother whom he had never met, but he was aware that the latter was probably the most gifted person in history.

The Crimson Blood Sect rose to prominence because of him, but he was also the reason behind the Sect’s downfall. The influence he had left behind was still impactful.

[The Eldest Senior Brother used to own the Sword of Divine Destruction!] In other words, the person who had the right to enter the Hall of Battle Points before Lu Ye was indeed Feng Wujiang.

Lu Ye already had some speculation in mind. That was because when he entered the Hall of Battle Points for the first time, the two Flood Dragons said it had been decades since the last person came.

Decades ago, no one could be more incredible than Feng Wujiang. It was only natural that he was the only one who had the right to enter the Hall of Battle Points.

Dozens of years ago, the Sword of Divine Destruction was in Feng Wujiang’s hands. Decades later, the treasure was in Lu Ye’s possession. That was why the old Sword Cultivator thought the item belonged to the Crimson Blood Sect, and the Sect Master passed the item to Lu Ye decades after Feng Wujiang passed away.

Naturally, Lu Ye wouldn’t clarify such a misunderstanding, but he wondered what the old man meant when the latter said the Sword of Divine Destruction wasn’t a single-use treasure.

The Spiritual Light within the Sword of Divine Destruction had been activated, so the treasure was unusable now. Since the weapon was made from special material, Lu Ye had initially intended to use it as a Telekinetic Artifact.

However, the old Sword Cultivator’s words made Lu Ye think of a possibility. Since he wasn’t in his Sect, it wasn’t convenient for him to verify his speculation. As such, he decided to push the matter aside first.

It seemed that Geng Wuwang and the others would have to recuperate for a few more days. In this environment, he couldn’t cultivate his power, nor could he activate his Tree of Glyphs to absorb the power of Fire Spirit Stones. Therefore, he decided to close his eyes and look into the Source of the Soaring Dragon Boundary.

He looked for the brightest dot among the ocean of Stars and followed a powerful cultivator to go through the momentous moments in his life in a particular period in Soaring Dragon Boundary.

For some reason, he felt that this time was different from his previous attempts, but he couldn’t put his finger on the difference.

Soon enough, he was struck with a surprise. That was because the person whose life he was following was a Combat Cultivator who used a saber.

Lu Ye almost had the urge to cry, for it had taken him a lot of effort to finally find such a person.

Ever since he obtained the broken Source of Soaring Dragon Boundary and was able to look into it, he had experienced the lives of around 100 cultivators. They were from all sorts of factions, including several Sword Cultivators. That was because Sword Cultivators had a higher chance of becoming extremely powerful. Therefore, the light dots left behind by Sword Cultivators were usually brighter, which prompted Lu Ye to choose them.

Having experienced the lives of so many cultivators and witnessed the growth of cultivators of different factions during different periods, Lu Ye was well-versed in most of the factions now.

When he disguised himself as Niu Meng and used Spells, even Ying Wuji, who had spent quite some time with him before, couldn’t see through his disguise.

During the period when his Inviolable Saber was being upgraded, he used a spear to deal with Feng Rulie, who was shocked by his incredible moves.

However, Lu Ye had never come across a Combat Cultivator who used a saber in the Soaring Dragon Boundary’s Source. He was determined to find such a person, and much to his relief, his wish was finally granted.

He hurriedly pulled himself together and attentively experienced the life of this Combat Cultivator who used a saber.

Time went by quickly. When he opened his eyes, he was energetic. It was apparent that he had learned a lot.

The person whose life he had experienced this time was a Peak Divine Ocean Realm Master, so his experiences were invaluable to Lu Ye.

The only unsatisfactory thing was that the cultivator was different from Lu Ye. A ferocious Blade Technique such as the Tyrant Blade Technique suited Lu Ye well. On the other hand, the cultivator in Soaring Dragon Boundary focused on fluidity and flexibility.

Still, he had learned a lot from that experience. He had been cultivating for a long time, so he had developed his unique style and beliefs. Naturally, he wouldn’t be affected by others easily. He could learn from other people’s experiences and strengthen his power.

“How long has it been?” Lu Ye asked.

Every time he looked into the Soaring Dragon Boundary’s Source, he would record the time he had spent. That was because as his power increased and his Divine Soul grew stronger, the time it took him to experience a person’s life would shorten.

When Lu Ye looked into the Source for the first time, it took him two to three days, but for the previous time, he only needed one day. It showed that he had improved a lot.

“Around four hours,” Yi Yi, who had been hiding inside Amber, replied in secret.

Lu Ye was surprised for a moment before becoming elated. [That’s why I felt something was odd!]

He felt strange when he looked into the Source earlier. He had a feeling that the experience was different from the past, but he couldn’t put his finger on the difference.

It wasn’t until now that he confirmed something. It had taken him a significantly shorter time to look into the Source this time.

Besides the fact that he had ascended to the Real Lake Realm, it was mainly because he had developed a Divine Ego.

It required Soul Power to look into the Source. Now that he had nurtured a Soul Body and developed a Divine Ego, his efficiency had improved tremendously.

Perhaps one day, he could experience the life of a powerful cultivator with only a flash of thought. By then, he could look into the Source at any moment and learn from other people’s experiences quickly. He could separate the wheat from the chaff and strengthen his power.

The insights he had acquired from the Combat Cultivator turned over in his mind. He rose to his feet and landed on a clearing. Then, he unsheathed his saber and wielded it.

At that moment, his Spiritual Power surged, and his Saber Lights flickered.

Following the experience, he achieved a breakthrough in the Way of Blades. Although his power never increased, he had more moves to deal with his enemies now.

All of a sudden, Lu Ye stopped in his tracks and pushed out his saber in a mighty manner.

At that moment, he felt as if he was among an ocean of Stars. Behind him, a crescent Moon was hung high above. Countless Saber Lights shot from the crescent Moon.

The sounds of breaking through the air were continuously heard as the crescent Saber Lights were lethal. Ditches were formed all over the ground, and even the entire Spirit Peak shook.

It was the second move of Tyrant Blade Technique, Lone Moon!

Tyrant Blade Technique was kept in an obsidian stone. When one sank his soul into it, he could receive the inheritance.

When Lu Ye obtained the inheritance, he could quickly comprehend the first move, Starburst. At that time, he was only a Sixth-Order Cloud River Realm Master. After such a long time, he had mastered the first move. During his spare time, he would try to comprehend the second move, but his attempts were usually futile.

It wasn’t until he experienced the life of a powerful Combat Cultivator who used a saber in Soaring Dragon Boundary’s Source that he was able to use the second move of the Tyrant Blade Technique. It was mainly thanks to the fact that he had absorbed many of the Combat Cultivator’s insights and experiences.

Compared with Starburst, Lone Moon was undoubtedly more lethal. Moreover, this move was suitable in a situation where one had to contend with many opponents at the same time.

Nevertheless, it would also take him a lot more energy to use this move. He felt soreness in his arms, and the vitality was undulating in his chest.

One had to know that he was now a Real Lake Realm Master, but he still had to expend so much energy to use the second move. When he was in the Cloud River Realm, he couldn’t comprehend the second move. It wasn’t that he wasn’t intelligent enough. It was just that he was too weak at that time.

Now that he was a Real Lake Realm Master, he was finally able to use the move.

The first move was called Starburst, and the second move was called Lone Moon. Lu Ye reckoned that the name of the third move must have something to do with the Sun.

However, he didn’t proceed to comprehend the third move. Following this experience, he realised that it was pointless to comprehend the next move when he wasn’t powerful enough. His time would be put to better use if he looked into the Source instead. He might come across a powerful cultivator who used a saber again.

The loud noise shocked Geng Wuwang and the others, who were recuperating in nearby places.

The sounds of breaking through the air were heard as they soon arrived.

After taking a look, they realised no enemies had come to attack them. It was Lu Ye practising a Blade Technique.

When Xiao Yurun saw the mess around him, he gasped. “My goodness…”

Was all the mess caused by a First-Order Real Lake Realm Master? The ditches on the ground were several metres long and around one metre deep. Several marks were seen on the mountain wall.

Even if a Fifth-Order Real Lake Realm Master like Xiao Yurun fully activated his power, he couldn’t leave behind such traces.

Also, Lu Ye was a captain. Xiao Yurun never forgot that when he tried to make Lu Ye stop moving forward by using his military rank, he was shocked to find out that Lu Ye had a higher military rank instead. Certainly, he held no grudges against Lu Ye. He only felt embarrassed. In retrospect, he even felt grateful to Lu Ye.

Regardless of what had happened, they had managed to complete the task, and their rewards would be handsome.

The others were shocked as they looked at Lu Ye like he was a monster.

“Since all of us have left our rooms, let’s return to Grand Sky City,” Geng Wuwang ordered.

Initially, they had to stay there for a few more days to recuperate, but recuperation could be done in Grand Sky City as well. As such, Geng Wuwang decided to return earlier so that they would get their rewards sooner.

“Since you’re the leader, you’ll call the shots.” Xiao Ruyun shrugged, and the others were fine with it.

“Let’s set off, then,” Geng Wuwang said and fished out his Spirit Boat. It seemed that he wasn’t going to bid the people of Red Cloud Mountain farewell.

Naturally, they didn’t have to do that. Those from Red Cloud Mountain were busy dealing with the aftermath, so no one could look after Geng Wuwang and the others.

Lu Ye was in the best condition among them, so he was asked to drive the Spirit Boat. Certainly, he wouldn’t turn them down.

Soon enough, the Spirit Boat shot into the sky and left the place.

The old Sword Cultivator, who had been hiding somewhere, sent a message to Qian Wudang to tell him what was going on before leaving in a hurry as well.

On their way back, Geng Wuwang expressed his gratitude to Lu Ye. “Junior Brother Lu, it’s thanks to you that we’ve managed to complete our task. Our mission would’ve failed if you hadn’t turned things around.”

If that happened, they wouldn’t get their rewards, and all their injuries would be for nothing.

“Since I’m a member of the team as well, I’m supposed to do my best.”

“I heard that someone had tried to stop you.” As Geng Wuwang spoke, he glowered at Xiao Ruyun. He had no idea what happened when he was unconscious. He heard about it from Mu Zheng at a later time.
