of these elixirs, he should be able to enter the Heavenly Cave Realm.Just then, Xiao Yun's voice suddenly came from outside: "Elder Jiang, in half a year will be the day when the Beast Fighting Grand..."Sword intent!"

Seeing this sword intent in human form, Jiang Yun's mind suddenly felt as if it had been enlightened, and he instantly understood.

These swords must have sensed the presence of this humanoid sword intent, which is why they are reacting.

"Even, the purpose of this Sword Cave's existence, is probably not just to let people cultivate swordsmanship, but to make people comprehend the sword intent!"

Then can I understand that to leave this sword cave, one must defeat these ten thousand swords with sword intent

Whether it's right or wrong, we can give it a try!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun's wrist flipped, and a blue sword already appeared in his hand.

He has never used a sword properly since he began his cultivation.

Even the two swords on his body were snatched from two disciples of the Wudao Sect back then.

One was a fire attribute sword, and the other was the one he currently held in his hand, imbued with lightning sword energy—the Lightning Sword.

As for sword intent, although Jiang Yun once killed a swordsman from Bai Caogu with his sword intent, he was actually just half-understanding. He was merely imitating it and hadn't truly comprehended it.

He stood up, his eyes fixed on the tens of thousands of swords vibrating violently outside. A strong fighting spirit glimmered in Jiang Yun's gaze.

With a single beckoning gesture, he summoned the water transformed from the black stone, along with the sword intent of the human form within the water. In one stride, he stepped out of that safe location!

As Jiang Yun finally appeared, the tremor of the ten thousand swords intensified.

Suddenly, the sound of crisp sword clashes rang out continuously.

All the swords, one after another, struggled out of the ground.

In that instant, the illusion Jiang Yun had seen when he first entered the sword cave materialized into reality.

A myriad of swords shimmered with dazzling sword light, their blades opening and closing in a vast ocean of swords, completely encasing Jiang Yun.

Gazing at this sea of swords, a strange light appeared in Jiang Yun's eyes.

Because he could clearly sense it, these swords seemed to be in a state of turmoil.

They wanted to attack themselves, but they were also afraid of themselves, so they hesitated to step forward.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Yun understood.

They feared not me, but the sword intent of a human form!

Because that sword intent belongs to the Zhantian Sword!

"The Heaven-Splitting Sword is hidden within this Jian Dao Peak. It must be the strongest sword, so these other swords fear it."

But this Sword Cave is intended to be a training ground for sword cultivators, which is why they are now in such a conflicted state.

"In that case, I shall accept this sword intent!"

As this thought emerged, Ginger Cloud not only retracted the water transformed from the black stone, but also in his mind's eye appeared the trajectory of a sword light.

Following this trajectory, the Thunder Sword in Jiang Yun's hand, with a casual wave, took the initiative to strike at all the swords!

"Om!"

With blue lightning-clad swordsmanship, the warrior slashed through the void like a bolt of lightning, charging towards the tens of thousands of swords!

This scene, I'm afraid, would even leave Gu Bulao speechless, he would look at Jiang Yun and give him a thumbs-up, exclaiming—bold as the heavens!

Jian Yun's guess about the Sword Cave was basically correct.

Although this sword cave can indeed allow sword cultivator disciples to cultivate swordsmanship, its more important role is to allow sword cultivator disciples to comprehend the sword intent.

Swordsmanship is good to practice, but sword intent can only be comprehended through one's own intuition. No one else can help with that.

Even though Fang Yu-xuan, the top disciple of the inner sect at the time, had been accepted as a student by Wei Zhengyang, the master of Jianfeng Peak, he still failed to comprehend sword intent during his sparring match with Jiang Yun. This just goes to show how difficult it is.

Ginger was mistaken on one point, that there were only two ways to leave this sword cave.

The first kind, you only need to realize the sword intent;

The second option is to choose at least ten swords as your opponents, but you must defeat all ten swords with your swordsmanship in one go to be able to leave!

But Jiang Yun believed that he had to defeat the Ten Thousand Swords, so he chose the Ten Thousand Swords as his opponent from the start...

These tens of thousands of swords were clearly angered by Jiang Yun's arrogant actions.

Finally, a snake-shaped long sword suddenly let out an angry sword cry and instantly charged towards the sword light that Ginger Cloud had swung!

With the lead, the rest of the swords naturally followed suit.

Even though Ginger Cloud's sword was wielded according to the human-form sword intent, he was merely half-understanding it, and these swords were deliberately left here by someone, so they were all extraordinary.

Therefore, Jiang Yun could not possibly be the opponent of ten thousand swords working together.

Seeing the overwhelming sword qi coming his way, his face changed drastically. He hurriedly dodged and retreated to a safe position.

These swords, naturally, came to a halt, but they remained gathered around, trembling violently.

"No, there are too many. I'm definitely no match for them all. I can only choose a few swords to fight with!"

As this sword was drawn, the hundred swords immediately lunged towards Ginger Cloud.

Although Ginger Cloud still retreated to safety in a disheveled state, this time, his eyes shone brightly.

Because he noticed that as these one hundred swords attacked, each sword's trajectory in the air was different.

One hundred swords, with one hundred trajectories, just like the way I control my spiritual energy.

"This trajectory, it should be what they call a sword technique, right!"

This unexpected discovery filled Jiang Yun's heart with joy. He had been missing a sword technique, and now he had found one!

Thus, in the time that followed, Jiang Yun began tirelessly, launching attack after attack against those ten thousand swords.

Gradually, Jiang Yun's eyes became brighter and brighter. He could catch sight of more and more sword trails, each one clearer than the last.

But what truly excited him was the feeling in his mind, a growing sense of understanding about swords!

……

The last month has passed quickly, and as tomorrow marks the end of March, since last night, cultivators throughout the Shan Hai Realm have been in a frenzy.

All cultivators, regardless of race or sect, gathered within their own clans and sects, looking up at the eight rays of light that had been in the sky for three months.

They were all waiting for the appearance of the ninth ray of dawn.

All the disciples within the sect had gathered around the enormous plaza at the mountain gate, while ninety-nine people stood atop the plaza.

They were the chosen ones to go to the mirage, with most of them being disciples from the Fortunate Land realm. There were only ten elders from the Heavenly Cave realm.

As for the question of the five peaks' masters, they were all standing around the square.

Although they were eligible to enter the Mirage, for some reason, none of them went.

Even, in a corner of the plaza, the three Eastern Scholars were also not on the list.

And now, they wore expressions of palpable anxiety, their eyes darting back and forth through the crowd.

Of course, they were looking for Ginger Cloud.

Three months ago, since Dongfang Bo explained the situation about the mirage to Jiang Yun, they never went to see Jiang Yun again, and always thought that Jiang Yun was in seclusion.

Even now, as the mirage is about to open, Ginger Cloud has yet to appear.

And once this opportunity is missed, you'll have to wait another ten years!
