Chapter 269: 269, Aftertaste of the Swor

Translator: 549690339

A colossal sword formed by thick fog surged into the sky, striking awe into anyone watching from a distance.

Innumerable players began to take screenshots and record videos, sparking discussions.

“From afar, it truly feels like a mirage.”

“The special effect is stunning!”

“Which Sword Immortal is showing off their power?”

Cai Jiangjiang stood among the crowd, staring up at the sky, her cherry-like lips were wide open to the point where her throat could be seen.

She felt utterly astounded!

Nevertheless, amidst the awe, she also found it somewhat to be expected.

Only such an incredible spectacle could match such an aesthetically pleasing individual, right?

Li Zuole mumbled to himself, “I wonder if I could create such an effect when I’m further down the line in the game. It’s really enviable!”

Wang Gangtie strongly nodded, saying in a deep voice:

“I feel the same!”

Xiao Guangming was squatting on the ground, a fully-grown straw resting in his mouth.

Since the Demon Sect lacked Foxtail Grass, he had to make do with any regular straw, the style was of the utmost importance.

“What do you think, does this Giant Fog Sword cause damage?” he asked.

Li Zuole suggested, “it’s simple, just rush into the fog and see. At most, you will lose one life.”

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Guangming chose to curb his curiosity saying, “Never mind, I’m an assassin, and our main virtue is patience.”

At that moment, a ray of golden light soared into the sky from within the Demon Sect.

A three-foot-long green blade.

After circling around the perimeter of the Fog Sword once, it flew back into the Demon Sect.

Subsequently, a resounding voice echoed, “Thanks to Elder for his guidance!”

In the main hall of the Demon Sect, Shen Yan and the others sat together, smiling.

“That was Brother Yue’s disciple, wasn’t it? Seeing Elder’s Sword Intent, he must have had an epiphany and broken through his barriers. Quite gifted, it seems.” Sima Chuan said.

“Not quite, merely average. Certainly not comparable to Elder, haha!” Yue Heshan said while playfully tapping the tabletop, seemingly quite pleased with himself.

Next, it was found that a total of five sword cultivators from the Demon Sect had insights and made breakthroughs on the spot after watching this Heaven and Earth Sword!

Many more had a slight insight even though it was not enough for a direct breakthrough, it was still significantly beneficial.

Perhaps after profound digestion, they could take their skills to the next level!

One after another, the Demon Sect disciples bowed toward the Fog Sword and shouted loudly, “Thanks to Elder for his guidance!”

Regardless of whether Lu Xun intentionally or accidentally created this Fog Sword, they needed to express their gratitude since they benefited from it.

This was like giving Demon Sect Sword Cultivators a gift of fate!

Unfortunately, it left members of the Outer Sect in the dark, seeing things from a muddled perspective; based on their realm, the soaring sword intent was far too abstract for them, consequently unable to decipher it.

This celestial anomaly was most beneficial for the sword cultivators at the Third and Fourth Realms!

The thick fog lasted for half an hour before gradually dissipating.

The sky and earth regained their clarity as though nothing had happened.

However, the Demon Sect disciples and Demon Sect Players might find it hard to forget the scene they had just witnessed for the rest of their lives.

At the Small Study located at the Demon Sect’s back hill.

Lu Xun slowly opened his eyes.

He could feel a noticeable change in his Sword Heart.

The Sword Heart is clear, having reached the Great Perfection Realm!

The small sword within the Sword Heart doesn’t seem to have undergone much change in appearance. It even seems more restrained. Yet the power it harbors has ascended a level!

Now, his suppression capability against an ordinary Sword Cultivator has become even more dreadful!

Before, if his opponent did not have a Sword Heart, that person would not even be able to unsheathe the sword in front of him, given they were of similar stages.

But now, simply having a Sword Heart might not suffice!

At the very least, one needs to touch the threshold of Sword Intent!

The more intuitive breakthrough showed in the aspect of Sword Intent.

His Sword Intent also reached the minor perfection stage!

You must know that Lu Xun’s game character “Explosive Temper Great Cane Hero” in his previous life had reached about the same realm in the art of stick after reaching the maximum level.

“I didn’t expect to catch up with the progress from my past life so quickly.” Lu Xun said to himself.

He opened his character panel, looking at the “Swordsmanship Aptitude 6” inscribed on the panel information, a delightful smile appeared on his face.

Putting on his cloak, he walked out of his room to find everyone sitting at the door waiting for him.

“Congratulations, Little Junior Brother”, Zhuge Lai Fu laughingly said.

“It’s nothing. I owed it all to eldest senior brother’s assistance.” replied Lu Xun.

Mao Nanbei looked up, her cat ears drooping behind as she moved and said, “Little Junior Brother, you’ve just set off a massive phenomenon, do you know that?”

“Really?” Lu Xun honestly didn’t know.

He secretly opened the forum and took a glance at it, so many posts bombarding the forum made him take a deep breath.

“Did this breakthrough really cause such a big commotion?” He felt slightly surprised.

The players in the forum were already discussing like crazy!

Even the fans of the Purple Palace were howling in the forum, boasting about him.

Looking at it, you’d think they had hired Internet trolls to stir things up.

Of course, they were all Purple Palace’s “trolls,” spontaneously forming the “Boosting Purple Group”. Among them, some of his Sword-Serving Children bounced the most happily.

Now, not just the ordinary players, but even a majority of professional players were envious of people like Cai Jiangjiang.

Some professional players, although they have apprenticed themselves to Great Cultivators and even powerful beings at the seventh or eighth level of the Cultivation World.

But the presence of Purple Palace was just too high!

Plus, his unmistakable identity as the World Protagonist… One could imagine that after forming a relationship with him, their future in the game would probably be smooth sailing.

After closing the forum, Lu Xun sat down next to Lin Chan.

His aura was yet to be fully concealed. Just breaking through, his aura was slightly chaotic, so in Lin Chan’s eyes, he was undoubtedly “revealing his Sword State”!

Sitting by Lu Xun, she suppressed the urge to poke him with her finger and poured him a cup of tea with a nervous face.

Lu Xun lightly patted her head and asked, “What’s wrong? You seem a bit tense?”

As soon as he touched Lin Chan, she shivered all over.

“So… comfortable!” Lin Chan thought to herself.

The Natural Sword Embryo had intimate contact with the sword.

Her face turned slightly red and she hastily waved her hand to signal she was okay.

Not until Lu Xun’s aura was fully concealed did Lin Chan finally breathe a sigh of relief, no longer feeling that strong attraction.

Mao Nanbei sat opposite to Lu Xun, both hands holding a big apple and eating happily.

She glanced at Lu Xun, her big eyes spinning, and a new idea sprung in this naughty sprite’s heart.

“Little Junior Brother, you just had a breakthrough. Do you want your fourth senior sister to spar with you?” Mao Nanbei suggested.
