Food System in Cultivation World-Chapter 441 - 407: Relentless Oppression

Inside the hall, Liao Zhenfeng was laughing loudly.

For a moment, almost only his laughter echoed within the grand hall.

All the other disciples were silenced by the confrontation of Ye Ningzhen’s sword intent and Liao Zhenfeng’s imposing manner.

Everyone was speechless.

Chen Xu and Ji Yang stood in the depths of the hall, equally silent and wordless.

In fact, Ji Yang wanted several times to ask Chen Xu: What is sword intent?

It’s not that Ji Yang hadn’t heard of sword intent, but although he had heard the legends of sword intent, he had never actually seen it.

Only hearing about it without seeing it inevitably makes it difficult to truly comprehend what sword intent is.

For instance, previously on the Skylark Boat, Ji Yang had seen Zhou Yu from the Fifth Grade sect comprehend the Sword Art of the Sea of Clouds.

But even then, Zhou Yu merely understood the sword art, and when it comes to sword intent, Zhou Yu still lacked some fire.

Sword intent, what exactly is sword intent?

Ji Yang desperately wanted to understand, yet was helplessly unable to grasp it. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Little did he know, Chen Xu also didn’t understand sword intent.

Chen Xu practiced the sword technique, specifically the Firewood Splitting Knife Technique.

In the lines of his Heroic Poet Spirit, the Wu Hook used by the Heroic Poet Spirit was also a type of sword.

Chen Xu had even seen the blade of Yanling Ghost King, slicing open the heavens and tearing through two realms.

It was a strike that Chen Xu endlessly yearned for.

He had sketched it millions of times during his cultivation, even in the Great Li Kingdom, he had vaguely realized the truth of space through the comprehension of this blade, combined with the Divine Power of Netherworld.

If it weren’t for this understanding, Chen Xu would have been unable to "ascend" before.

But after "ascension," the Xuantian Star Realm was different from the Great Li Kingdom.

The spiritual qi here was exceptionally abundant, yet exceptionally restless.

The Nine Netherworld tribulations were present at every moment throughout the universe, drifting everywhere.

The existence of these Nine Netherworld tribulations made the spiritual qi in this realm immensely active, also making the absorption of spiritual qi somewhat challenging.

As such, all the spatial dao comprehended by Chen Xu in the Great Li Kingdom were no longer applicable in this realm.

Of course, later on, Chen Xu broke through from the third layer of the Golden Core to the fourth layer, and once again comprehended some of the Divine Power of Netherworld.

The many intricacies here need not be elaborated.

In short, although Chen Xu didn’t understand sword intent, at this moment, watching the confrontation between Ye Ningzhen and Liao Zhenfeng, a marvelous feeling of enlightenment suddenly arose in his heart.

He didn’t understand sword intent, but he could see how much courage it took for Ye Ningzhen to stand before a Golden Core cultivator with her Foundation Establishment cultivation at this moment.

She actually didn’t have a sword in her hand, yet the entirety of her being seemed as if she were a sword.

Sharp, unyielding, fearless, unstoppable.

Liao Zhenfeng laughed loudly, "Good, good, good! Yu Hanhai, though you are a cowardly turtle, your chief disciple has a spine of steel.

Yu Hanhai, you’ve had dog luck, acquiring a disciple of such aptitude.

Your disciple is also truly loyal, never willing to leave the sect despite extraordinary talent.

Well then, it’s fate that I meet Nephew Ye today, and fate that Nephew Ye manifests such sword intent today.

Since that’s the case, I’ll take Nephew Ye away and give Nephew Ye a future!

Surely, any sword sect in the Jade Pavilion realm of the inner city wouldn’t reject a disciple like Nephew Ye, hahaha..."

Amidst his laughter, Liao Zhenfeng stepped closer to Ye Ningzhen.

"Nephew Ye, you can also step aside. If you step aside, I will think that you are nothing special.

Consequently, I will naturally change my mind and no longer insist on taking you away.

However, if you step aside, I will then take away your junior brother Shao.

Your junior brother Shao is also of exceptional talent; such fine material, it would be a pity to bury him in the Sect of Divine Mechanics."

Good heavens, Liao Zhenfeng’s every word hit straight to the heart.

He had indeed made up his mind to betray the sect today.

Yu Hanhai’s two main disciples, Ye Ningzhen and Shao Jiliang, he was determined to ruin one.

If Ye Ningzhen didn’t step aside, she would be taken away by him.

But if Ye Ningzhen did step aside, wouldn’t that go against her sword intent and core principles?

If she conceded today, what would she do in future dilemmas—retreat or not?

If she were used to yielding, the sword intent she cultivated would likely be destroyed.

Of course, Ye Ningzhen had another choice, which was to take up the sword and fight Liao Zhenfeng to the death!

After all, they were in the sect.

Liao Zhenfeng was not invincible; he was only at the late stage of the Golden Core.

Could he really, under so many watchful eyes, directly abduct the sect master’s disciple in the sect?

However, although theoretically so, there were always unexpected possibilities in reality.

In the face of overwhelming terror, not everyone’s heart can remain calm and judge clearly.

Once the heart slightly leans, collapse could come in an instant.

Liao Zhenfeng pressed closer step by step, and with each step, the sense of oppression grew threefold stronger.
