Time flew by unnoticed, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed like flowing water.
At the Heavenly Lake Snow Mountain, amidst the vast white snow, a figure was dancing with a sword in the snow. The sword aura was powerful, and the snowflakes fluttered as if performing an exquisite Snow Spirit Sword Dance.
Not far from this figure, Snow Li Jian watched Bai Lixi's sword dance and nodded secretly. In one month, he had fully assisted Bai Lixi in enhancing his willpower, allowing Bai Lixi's Sword Dao Will and Snow Will to each increase by one level. The progress was extremely significant, which pleased him greatly. Now, with Bai Lixi at the Ninth Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm, his Sword Dao Will at the Third Layer, and his Snow Will at the Fourth Layer, he was already extremely powerful among those below the Heavenly Martial Realm. He was probably not too far from the Heavenly Lake Saintess, Tianchi Xue.
"Chi, chi..." A soft sound rang out. The sword was hidden within the snowflakes, and that glimmer of dazzling brilliance was blinding as it pierced through space. This sword strike from Bai Lixi seemed to carry a killing intent.
"Killing intent?" Snow Li Jian's brows furrowed as he said to Bai Lixi, "Bai Li, do you have an unresolved hatred in your heart?"
The killing intent Bai Lixi had just released was not only the killing intent of the sword but also his own personal desire to kill.
The sword light faded. Bai Lixi sheathed his sword, showed a smile to Snow Li Jian, and shook his head. "Teacher, the disciple is fine."
Snow Li Jian looked at Bai Lixi for a moment, then nodded slightly without pressing further. Since Bai Lixi was unwilling to say more, he naturally would not interfere.
"Bai Li, a month has passed in the blink of an eye. With your talent and strength, among the eight chosen by Heavenly Lake this time, you should be able to enter the top three. If you are careful and your luck isn't too bad, entering the secret realm should allow you to gain some benefits. You must seize the opportunity, but always remember: life is the most important. No matter what, you can give up treasures, but you must protect your life."
Snow Li Jian gave Bai Lixi a piece of advice. Bai Lixi nodded slightly. "Teacher, the disciple understands."
At this moment, in Bai Lixi's mind, the figure of Lin Feng appeared. That killing intent was because of Lin Feng. In truth, he had no enmity with Lin Feng at all; they had only known each other for a short time. However, because Lin Feng did not have a reputation as illustrious as Han Qiuyu and the others at Heavenly Lake, his sudden appearance made Bai Lixi recall that day on Heavenly Lake when he had even thought of driving Lin Feng and Tang Youyou off the lake.
Yet later, he discovered that Lin Feng was stronger than him, and much stronger, making him feel insignificant. His vanity was greatly wounded, and no one paid him any attention. Thus, this psychological imbalance turned Lin Feng into an imaginary enemy. Perhaps Lin Feng had never even noticed his existence.
"I wonder how his training is going now. Since he already possesses Sword Dao Will at the Fifth Layer, he probably can't advance further, right?" Bai Lixi muttered to himself, speculating on Lin Feng's current training progress.
At this moment, Lin Feng was in a sunken ice and snow valley. Vast and boundless sword aura roared in all directions, and that terrifying sharp, destructive aura seemed ready to pierce everything.
Lin Feng's eyes were slightly closed as he stood motionless. The entire valley was filled with terrifying sword aura, especially above his head, where countless swords—thousands upon thousands—roared, all pointing in one direction. The sound was piercing.
Just then, Lin Feng's body suddenly moved. His hands danced, and the swords followed his hands, moving in unison. Wherever his hands pointed, the swords pointed.
One person controlled thousands of swords, all in the same rhythm, perfectly synchronized.
Controlling thousands of swords was not difficult; a powerful sword cultivator could do it. But to do it like Lin Feng—where with a thought, thousands of swords moved in sync with his breath and rhythm, completely integrated—was extremely difficult. Those swords seemed to have become an extension of Lin Feng's hands.
"Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!"
A low murmur rang out. On the edge of the sunken snow valley, three figures stood watching Lin Feng train. The first form was about to succeed!
"Thousands of swords, in the same breath, as if thousands of people were breathing simultaneously. Lin Feng achieved this in just over ten days. Truly rare." The Snow Robe Venerable smiled, expressing great admiration for Lin Feng's performance.
"He's much stronger than that madman was back then. At the Mysterious Martial Realm, he didn't even have the chance to touch the Returning to the One Sword Art." The Flame Venerable said with a faint smile, glancing at the expressionless Sword Venerable beside him.
They had originally planned to have Lin Feng practice a Heaven Grade Low-Rank Sword Art. However, after seeing Lin Feng use the Thirteen Blood-Drinking Swords, they abandoned that idea. The Thirteen Blood-Drinking Swords itself should be a Heaven Grade Low-Rank Sword Art, but Lin Feng still lacked the finesse to fully integrate his Sword Dao Will into it.
Thus, they decided to have Lin Feng practice a Heaven Grade Mid-Rank Sword Art: the Returning to the One Sword Art!
They would let Lin Feng comprehend and realize the sword's essence through practice. The sword art contained powerful willpower.
"Boom!" A dull sound rang out. They saw Lin Feng stomp his foot, and the snow was torn apart by the sword aura. Cracks appeared on the ground of the valley. Lin Feng's hands moved again, slowly pointing forward, and the thousands of swords followed his movements, shifting slowly.
"Ten Thousand Swords Return to One, Kill!"
Lin Feng's eyes suddenly snapped open. Fierce sword light shot from his mouth. The thousands of swords roared and shot in the same direction, then merged in the void—ten thousand swords, returning to one!
"Boom!" A terrifying sound echoed. The crowd felt the earth tremble violently. The merged sword directly plunged into a snow mountain, piercing through it and shooting out from the other side. A gap appeared in the middle of the entire mountain, allowing light to pass through.
One sword strike, breaking through a mountain!
"Phew. A Heaven Grade Mid-Rank martial technique is too difficult. Over ten days, and I've only grasped the first form: Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!" Lin Feng exhaled, but a hint of pride arose in his heart. In his youth, he had looked up to the divine abilities of the strong, legends of shattering mountains and cutting rivers. Now, he too had achieved a sword strike that pierced a mountain.
If others knew his thoughts, they would surely be furious. In just over ten days, he could already use the first form of a Heaven Grade Mid-Rank martial technique, yet he thought it took too long. This was a Heaven Grade martial technique, and a mid-rank one at that. Many at the Mysterious Martial Realm would immerse themselves in it for months or even years before barely grasping a part of its power.
"Senior." Lin Feng looked up at the three figures above, a smile on his face.
"Lin Feng, have you gained any insights into Sword Dao Will?" the Sword Venerable asked.
"A little. Perhaps I need to go into seclusion for a few days. I might be able to break through to the next level of Sword Dao Will, reaching the Sixth Layer." Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"Don't rush. When I was at your cultivation level, my Sword Dao Will was only at the Second Layer. Many who have crossed into the Heavenly Martial Realm have Sword Dao Will far less profound than yours. And the further you go, the harder it gets. Cultivation is not a matter of a day or two; the path of martial arts is an extremely long process, requiring exploration over the years. You are still young. Take it slow, stabilize your foundation, and walk step by step. One day, you will stand proudly with your sword."
The Sword Venerable seemed worried that Lin Feng might become discouraged, so he reminded him. In truth, Lin Feng's will was already terrifying. He had reached the Fifth Layer of Will on his own. Given time, the Sword Venerable was confident that by the time Lin Feng entered the Heavenly Martial Realm, he could bring Lin Feng's Sword Dao Will to the Seventh Layer. The Seventh Layer of Sword Dao Will—just thinking about it made him feel awe and suffocation. If Lin Feng crossed into the Heavenly Martial Realm, what a shocking scene that would be!
Lin Feng nodded and said nothing more. In fact, he did feel that he might be able to break through. If he took some time to contemplate the sword in his mind, he might be able to enter the Sixth Layer of Sword Dao Will. Lin Feng also understood that the higher the level, the harder it was to comprehend. The power of will was originally a power exclusive to Heavenly Martial Realm experts.
"A little over a month is too rushed; we don't even have time to guide you properly. But with your current strength, entering the secret realm should make you rarely encounter an opponent. Be cautious in the secret realm. After you come out, we will guide you well and help you cross into the Heavenly Martial Realm."
The Snow Robe Venerable also spoke. One month was too short. Lin Feng had only spent most of his time comprehending the Returning to the One Sword Art, leaving them no time to guide him!
