Chapter 4: One Hundred Thousand Sword Intent
Over there, it was only a few days until the contract expired. After careful calculations, Chen Er Gou distributed the corresponding Soul Currency to thirty-one Demon Mothers without missing a single coin.
During the past three months, the thirty-one Demon Mothers gained a deeper understanding of Yin City and requested to continue following Chen Er Gou.
To address this, Chen Er Gou specifically consulted Yan.
Yan had no objections. However, they still needed to sign an agreement to prevent any reckless behavior due to their unstable mental state. Additionally, they were required to invest, but they would only receive thirty percent of the profits.
This time, the thirty-one Demon Mothers had no objections.
Firstly, they trusted him because Yan kept her promises. Secondly, this request could be seen as them seeking protection after Yan had previously made a commitment to Bai Yun. Given that Yan was asking for seventy percent of the profits, it was understandable. They had also witnessed Chen Er Gou's growth and felt that a thirty percent share was already quite generous.
Thus, the thirty-one Demon Mothers continued to accompany Chen Er Gou in the Trading Hall, while Yan focused on cultivating with the other Ghost Slaves. Aside from necessary transactions for resources with her main body, she rarely ventured outside.
As a result, Lian Yun did not need to pay much attention to matters on this side and did not worry about the safety of her avatars and the Ghost Slaves. Besides occasionally hunting High Emperor level Chaos Beasts for material exchange with Yan, she immersed herself in the Sword Tower, dedicating herself to comprehending Sword Intent.
Lian Yun was unaware of how much Sword Intent that ancient elder had infused into the Sword Tower. However, within it, she felt an infinite capacity for acquisition.
With her full focus on comprehending Sword Intent, in less than seven days, she amassed over ten thousand units of it. Moreover, as time passed, this number continued to surge.
However, after observing some integrated sword techniques that also produced corresponding Sword Intent, she speculated that the amount of Sword Intent placed in the Sword Tower by the ancient elder might not be substantial—perhaps around ten thousand units.
Yet her own Sword Intent had already taken on a life of its own. Thus, within the special effects of the Sword Tower, she could freely combine, differentiate, and even partially fuse it to create countless variations of Sword Intent.
Naturally, this delighted Lian Yun. With an abundance of Mental Potions, she continuously grasped Sword Intent under a vast reservoir of Mental Power.
The reaction from the Disciples of the Sword Spirit Sect was one of shock; even many elders often found themselves stunned or dumbfounded.
However, there was a distinct group whose reactions were quite different—those were the sixty thousand disciples who had been 'utilized' by Lian Yun during the time of the High Emperor Beast Tide.
Every day, some would wake up after their closed-door training or return from their excursions. They would inquire about news from the Sword Tower, wearing expressions that suggested it was only natural. It seemed as if any decrease in their numbers implied that Lian Yun was slacking off.
They had reached a state of blind admiration.
The reality was that from the initial Sixty Thousand Disciples, today, over Forty Thousand had successfully broken through, with Ten Thousand Intermediate Kings Disciples achieving a breakthrough rate of Seventy Percent, meaning Seven Thousand had become High-Level Monarchs. Among the remaining Three Thousand, some were not unable to break through but were instead choosing to accumulate more strength before doing so.
As for the Junior King Disciples, perhaps due to resource issues, those who had advanced to Intermediate Monarchs were less than half, around Twenty Thousand. However, the remaining disciples were also accumulating strength, and while the last group had not improved, at least their chances of advancement were significantly higher than before.
Those who once followed Lian Yun and were utilized by him now possessed strength and future prospects several times greater than before the High Emperor Beast Tide.
Consequently, Qiu ChujI and Elder Mei had been wearing cheerful expressions almost every day in recent months.
Not only that, after January passed into February, Lian Yun's Sword Intent reached one hundred thousand. He no longer remained in seclusion but frequently went out to have the Ten Thousand Disciples practice the Ten Thousand Swords Classic. Lian Yun would sit within the Illusory Greatsword they formed and control it to enhance his understanding of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique while also improving his disciples.
As a result, many Disciple of the Sword Spirit Sect did not stay within the Sect waiting for Lian Yun to emerge but instead left to complete tasks outside and earn Spirit Coins frantically.
Due to Lian Yun's mobilization, it often consumed the spiritual energy and mental strength of the Ten Thousand Disciples. This was not a one-time affair; if their Spirit Coins ran low, they could be replaced immediately. Thus, they needed Spirit Coins.
To address this need, Qiu ChujI and Elder Mei even launched a loan service, offering White Spirit Coins upfront to be repaid gradually later. They understood that Lian Yun's current state would not last long.
Notably, during February, Xiao Jun made an unstoppable breakthrough to the Emperor Realm.
Silently and without anyone noticing—except for Lian Yun.
At that moment, Lian Yun felt something and made a trip to Azure Cloud Peak. He then smiled and said, "It seems our sparring will have to wait a few more years."
If it were an ordinary person, even a current Peerless Monarch hearing Lian Yun's words would likely curse in anger, "You're already this strong; what difference will a few years make?"
However, Xiao Jun was no ordinary person; he simply nodded without any impatience.
Firstly, Xiao Jun had just broken through; his strength would experience tremendous daily growth. Secondly, their sparring was quite unique.
They could have started competing long ago based on their feelings about each other's strengths and weaknesses but sought relatively equal conditions to validate their judgments.
This sparring was not a traditional battle.
After February came Tomb-Sweeping Day in twelve days. Lian Yun entered the Sword Tower again to comprehend Sword Intent. However, unlike January, he focused on two parts of Sword Intent this time: one part was high-level Sword Intent aimed at enhancing the power of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique in the future.
A part of it consisted of some peculiar Sword Intent, which was prepared by Wan Yi for the subordinates of the Sword Forging Ancestor, Ouzhizi. Wan Yi had been collecting Sword Intent, and the hundreds of Sword Intents he possessed had greatly assisted Lian Yun. In return, Lian Yun had promised to cultivate other Sword Intents and provide him with a copy.
Now, the number of Sword Intents he held had far exceeded his previous expectations, but Lian Yun still wanted to comprehend some unique Sword Intents to give to Wan Yi. He believed that Wan Yi would be quite pleased.
Before Tomb-Sweeping Day, Lian Yun followed Qiu ChujI and other members of the Xianjian Sect to the imperial city. Once the event began, both Lian Yun and Xiao Jun seemed rather arrogant as they joined the ranks of the Peerless Monarch, engaging in battle mid-air.
With the initiation of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique, a single sword swept across, slashing vertically; one sword split into ten, annihilating all Giant Mouths in front. The destructive power of Lian Yun was indeed more formidable than that of some Peerless Monarchs, with his kill count surpassing theirs.
Meanwhile, Xiao Jun wielded his sword flatly, covering an area of two to three miles as if possessing a devouring force. Giant Mouths continuously flowed into a 'black cloth' in the center, and with one strike, he killed well over ten thousand.
Their casual continuous attacks made even the Peerless Monarchs feel intimidated.
For this reason, the Insect Emperor specifically approached Lian Yun and asked, "You won't become this monstrous when you break through to Monarch in the future, will you? You've just reached Monarch; you can't possibly surpass Half Emperor before reaching your peak! Hmm, that should be impossible; there is a vast difference between Half Emperor and Monarch."
The Insect Emperor answered his own question while Lian Yun merely smiled without replying.
After the event concluded, Lian Yun arranged to meet with the Insect Emperor the next day to head towards that Filth space.
