Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint-Chapter 520 - 176 I’ll Help You Cross the Tribulation!_5

If the Green Frost Sword were still around, during the Crossing Tribulation, she might still have fallen at the third layer of Heavenly Tribulation. Because at that time, the Green Frost Sword would have become one with her, contradicting her Sword Dao, and it too would be harmed by the Heavenly Tribulation.

To truly achieve Taoist Heart Perfection, she could only do so by personally severing her past Heart Demon, severing her emotions. Only then could she be truly Fulfilled. This was instead of extracting a strand of her Divine Soul to merge her emotions into it, transforming it into the Sword Spirit sealed within the Green Frost Sword, leaving a sliver of leeway. In some sense, this itself was a shortcut. The Heavenly Dao is impermanent; any shortcuts make one unable to glimpse the profundity of the Great Taoist. No wonder Mu Hongyuan and the others said that she herself was the Heart Demon, and she must sever herself to truly enter the Dao.

Having witnessed the entire journey and knowing the causes and effects, all scenes vanished.

The seals shattered, and an ancient sword of peerless sharpness lay horizontally before him. The Sky-cutting Sword.

After a thousand years, he saw it once again.

A delicate, stream-like affection surged into his heart. The Sky-cutting Sword, having been used for the Love Nine Swords numerous times, had also taken on an aura of emotion.

No wonder Heroine Yan later had to seal this sword here. Unfortunately, even with the sealing, her experiences also remained with the sword.

Bearing the merits of opening the heavens, and having been bathed in Spiritual Energy after earthly and heavenly changes, it had already transformed beyond the mortal, becoming a true Divine Artifact.

Wang Mu walked over and looked at the sword.

All its sharpness was now concealed. Yet, the aura it emitted was still terrifyingly peerless. With my current strength, I fear I could not wield its full power... That profound quality gave me the feeling that it was beyond my control... The Divine Sword that had once enabled Heroine Yan to grasp the Dao. Now it was imbued with various profundities. The Evil Qi of the Sky-cutting Sword was nowhere near as heavy as that of the Shadow Hong Saber. Indeed, one could say it had no Evil Qi at all. Only a sharp Sword Intent, and within it, emotions sealed for a thousand years, mixed with all manner of great powers.

Wang Mu reached out his hand. The moment he grasped the sword, a torrential power instantly and ceaselessly gushed forth from within it. A terrifying aura burst forth from him. In that moment, the explosion of power allowed Wang Mu’s aura to instantly break through Golden Core, directly rushing towards Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation...

This was not my own power, but the sword’s power. I had thought I could not control it. However, a thousand years later, as the master of the Sky-cutting Sword, I still seemed able to wield the mighty power within this sword.

Matured over a millennium and having once aided Yan Qingwu, this Sky-cutting Sword had far surpassed its past form and reached an unimaginable level.

"Assisting in opening the Heavenly Gate, the cleansing of merit... the power contained in this sword is as mighty as that of the Shadow Hong Saber..."

"Only, the Shadow Hong Saber has an excessive Yin Yang Evil Qi, whereas this sword possesses none, only an unyielding and eternal Sword Intent..."

His aura continued to break through.

But I know that this aura merely signifies momentum; it’s not that my own strength has reached this level. It is the sword that possesses such formidable power. And as its only user, I cannot control the power within; I can only borrow it.

At the same time, RUMBLE!

With the Sky-cutting Sword in hand, I instantly feel confident I could slay a cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Tribulation stage with a single blow.

...

However, as the sound of thunder descended from outside, I knew that Heroine Yan must be undergoing her Crossing Tribulation at this moment. Although the Green Frost Sword was now restored, the third stage of the Heavenly Tribulation was still insurmountable for her.

Wang Mu closed his eyes, caressing the Sky-cutting Sword.

It once symbolized cleaving through the clouds and sky, but now...

The sword hummed, as if an ancient voice emerged from its body.

"It seems... being sealed for a thousand years has made you a bit lonely," Wang Mu said softly.

The Sky-cutting Sword had no Sword Spirit, only pure spirituality. If we were to speak solely of its grade, perhaps the Sky-cutting Sword might not compare to some Magic Treasures. But then, what other sword followed Dongfang Mu to break open heaven and earth? In the long span of a thousand years, it has itself become an exceptionally special existence within the Cultivation World.

"It’s time to go out..." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

With a gentle wave of the Sky-cutting Sword, space was effortlessly torn open, revealing the outside scenery. It seemed he could tear open the void and step out without needing any force.

「Outside.」

Dark clouds roared, Thunder Snakes filled the sky. In a massive vortex in the deep sky, countless bolts of thunder flashed within. On Gu Yun Mountain, a figure in white stood out like the only point of light in the world.

Anyone fortunate enough to have witnessed the great tribulation of Ascension would probably have no regrets in this life. For ordinary people, this might just appear as a prolonged thunderstorm, its true power imperceptible. Only true cultivators could feel the pressure from the Heavenly Dao emanating from it. Even separated by tens of thousands of miles, a Primordial Spirit could sense a formidable pressure.

Across the Nine Provinces, cultivators from various regions gathered on mountaintops around the outskirts of Huangtian Continent. They gazed from afar at the thunder vortex above Gu Yun Mountain, each one too shocked to speak for a moment.

Actually, to survive a Crossing Tribulation, recover for a few years, and then undertake the Immortal Tribulation again was already beyond what many cultivators could imagine. Many cultivators who failed their Crossing Tribulation had essentially perished under the Heavenly Tribulation, their bodies destroyed and their Dao scattered. Yet this Yan Sword Immortal had not only survived, but after recovering for a few years, she had reached her peak again and was undertaking the Immortal Tribulation once more. The thousand years of foundation this implied was simply unimaginable for ordinary cultivators.

But... Could she make it this time?

No one knew. Even the few renowned Ascending Immortal Cultivators of this era dared not make any assumptions.
