Chapter 398: Chapter 395 Sword Soul

```html

Among the Four Great Sects, the White Cloud Sword Palace is quite manageable, but the other three sects, like the Great Spirit Rock Peak and Qinglu Cliff, have little interaction.

They immediately became hostile towards the Flying Sky Sect.

Forcing the Flying Sky Sect like this, what would the Great Spirit Rock Peak and Qinglu Cliff think?

Will they feel isolated and resist him?

Right now, it seems to be nothing, after all, he is the Left Vice Minister and the Princely Heir, but what about the future?

Although the Four Great Sects have been part of the Court for so many years, their power is mostly concentrated in the Military Suppression Department.

But it’s inevitable that they have rescued officials, interacted, and held influence over them.

However, Chu Zhiyuan disregards his concerns.

No matter how strong the Four Great Sects are, they are still just sects, not the Court.

As the Princely Heir, there’s no real need to be cautious of them.

Instead, it should be they who need to tread carefully.

Previously, the Flying Sky Sect was so arrogant, but it was just an act to keep distance from the Imperial Family and the Court.

Their goal was to prevent their greatest secret from being exposed.

Now that the secret is out, can the Flying Sky Sect still act haughty? If they continue, there will be consequences awaiting them.

The disciples of the Four Great Sects can join the Military Suppression Department, and there are enough spots, this rule won’t change with the Court.

However, it’s possible to obstruct the Flying Sky Sect in some minor places, preventing its disciples from receiving better tasks.

Even if I don’t become the Emperor, once I become a Grandmaster, I will be an influential figure, so how can I allow the Flying Sky Sect to provoke like this?

Chu Qingfeng is just too cautious.

Of course, this is also the reason why the Emperor favors him so much.

I haven’t reached that point yet, and if I can’t become Emperor in the future, and can only become a Prince, then it’s not too late to do so.

But now, there’s totally no need, sparking my own ambitions will only hinder my cultivation progress.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, ”Uncle, rest assured, the Flying Sky Sect won’t hold a grudge, instead, they might even make amends to me.”

”Heh, you’re only dreaming.” Chu Qingfeng shook his head with a laughter.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, ”The Flying Sky Sect isn’t as aloof as you think, just wait and see, uncle.”

”Heh, then I’ll wait and see.” Chu Qingfeng snorted.

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled and remained silent.

——

In the small hall of Listening to the Waves Courtyard, Chu Zhiyuan sat silently, gazing at the long blade on the table.

This blade, once enshrined in the Heavenly Blade Pavilion, was now quietly placed on the stone table.

The emerald green scabbard, lustrous and smooth, carved as if from a jade.

This blade was clearly meticulously preserved and cared for.

It seemed more like a decoration than a weapon meant to kill.

Being enshrined in the Heavenly Blade Pavilion, most thought it was because of the owner of this blade.

Few could feel the faint sword intent it emitted.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at the long blade he had painstakingly acquired, smiling, and slowly reached out his hand.

As his right hand was about to grip the handle, he suddenly paused.

Frowning slightly.

Then slowly retracted his right hand.

He continued to scrutinize the long blade in its emerald scabbard, trying to unlock its mysteries.

His right hand reached out again, grasped the handle, then released it again.

He sighed.

If the danger was slight, he might risk trying, but his intuition strongly warned of great danger.

This was extreme danger, life-threatening.

He laughed at himself.

What a great irony it was.

After painstaking efforts to obtain a blade, he couldn’t use it, nor dared to draw it.

He thought for a moment, and then suddenly formed a seal with his palms, and a vast power surged, landing on his palms.

He closed his eyes, slowly extending his right palm.

At the same time, he concentrated his sword intent.

Closing his eyes to carefully sense his intuition, then slowly nodded, sensing only slight danger.

He gripped the handle, gently pulled, but couldn’t draw it.

The blade seemed welded to the scabbard, steady and unmoving.

He frowned, tugged once more, but still, it remained immobile.

He didn’t rush to exert more force, but instead, released his grip and stared thoughtfully at the long blade.

His strength wasn’t that of an ordinary person, even without activating Inner Strength, his physical prowess was immense.

Even if the long blade was glued in place, it couldn’t withstand his pulling force.

This situation was peculiar.

Thus, there was only one possibility, it required Gang Qi or True Qi injection to be drawn.

He quickly speculated, was this the source of danger?

If it wasn’t an expert from the Flying Sky Sect, would the blade attack?

Thinking as he was, he began to infuse the Dragon Transformation Technique’s aura into the blade.

”Woooo...” Amid a strange howl, the scabbard suddenly turned purple.

Purple brilliance flowed into the jade, turning it purple, becoming elegant and magnificent.

Chu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The warning signs had disappeared.

The aura he infused using the Dragon Transformation Technique actually worked, eliminating the danger.

Why was that?

He was puzzled, and once again attempted to draw the blade.

A sudden flash of cold light, as if a dragon’s roar sounded by his ear.

Then he drew the blade out of the scabbard, the cold light forming a swift beam.

A chilling aura spread instantly, as if a cold wind blew into the small pavilion.

He frowned at the bright sword before him, a puzzled expression on his face.

Strangely, he could not sense the sword intent.

His own sword intent had no rival, thus naturally retracting.

The sword’s light was like cold lightning, but besides this, the long blade showed no peculiarity.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned in deep thought.

This didn’t seem right.

If it were only like this, his intuition wouldn’t have given such severe warnings.

This long blade, being so ordinary, was in fact extraordinarily abnormal.

After thinking a bit, he switched the Dragon Transformation Technique with the mental method of the Glazed Blade Scripture.

”Zheng...”

Another dragon’s roar sounded.

He then saw a long blade before him, but this blade appeared in the Void.

In the Void, dark clouds instantly spread, amidst which lightning appeared, like purple electric strikes onto the long blade.

When hit by lightning, the long blade immediately shone purple, lighting up the strange patterns on the blade.

Strange patterns covered it, with each one glowing.

It seemed like the long blade was absorbing lightning, and the purple light created by lightning coursed along the patterns.

A strong warning arose in Chu Zhiyuan’s mind, followed by a dragon’s roar echoing in his mind.

He suddenly snapped back to consciousness.

All illusions disappeared, leaving just the glowing long blade gently swaying in front of him.

He found that his sword intent had surged significantly.

And this happened in just an instant.

At the same time, he realized that this ”instant” was actually a quarter of an hour.

While it felt like a moment to him, he had actually stood there with the drawn blade for quite some time.

His body wobbled, and his vision darkened momentarily.

He activated the Heavenly Yuan Technique, as well as the Earth Origin Technique, both replenishing his spirit and Gang Qi.

He felt like he had been starving for days, his body extremely weak, softly slumping onto the stone stool.

The long blade was resheathed, yet his Biluo True Robe remained unsaturated by the sweat.

He panted heavily, silently marveling.

This was indeed a close call; almost costing his life.

This didn’t seem like sword intent.

If not sword intent, then why did his sword intent surge so much?

He closed his eyes, his pale face deep in thought.

A moment later, he opened his eyes in contemplation, could this be the Sword Soul?

Beyond the sword intent was the Sword Soul.

What he saw earlier had surpassed sword intent, reaching the realm of Sword Soul?

According to what he knew, after the Spirit Transformation Realm, it was the Concealing God Realm, and the so-called God was the Sword Soul.

Once the Sword Soul was formed, the Concealing God Realm would be achieved.

This predecessor of the Flying Sky Sect, had actually cultivated to the realm of Sword Soul?

This was far beyond his expectations.

The sword technique of the Flying Sky Sect is indeed extraordinary.
