Chapter 1857 - 1885: Staying Put [2nd Update]
Upon entering the fourth layer of the Leaf Pool, Ye Feng clearly felt an immensely strong Sword Intent pressuring his body and mind, crushing over him in waves, causing him discomfort.
Ye Feng fully unleashed his top-level Spirit Sword Realm Sword Intent, and in an instant, his entire being emitted an aura as sharp and dynamic as a sword, a fierce aura that rippled through the surrounding space, causing Ye Feng’s body to tremble slightly under the pressure.
The pressure within the Leaf Pool now was completely different from the third layer, having increased several fold.
Nonetheless, Ye Feng’s face remained composed without a hint of change, standing on the leaf, allowing the endless Sword Intent to assault him. While resisting the powerful Sword Intent, Ye Feng focused on sensing it.
Ye Feng abandoned his strong True Essence and physical body. Now, all he could rely on was the sword in his hand, his Sword Intent, and by strengthening his Sword Intent, Ye Feng could succeed.
Ye Feng stood on the leaf, motionless as if in deep meditation, with not a trace of aura leaking out. People saw Ye Feng as if he was unable to move due to the relentless Sword Intent impacting him.
"This time, he definitely can’t pass the fourth layer; it’s impossible for him to reach the fifth layer!"
Surrounding people discussed Ye Feng: "Indeed, he can’t possibly breakthrough his Sword Intent three times in such a short period!" Yet, now, no one dared to underestimate Ye Feng.
Though Ye Feng’s Sword Intent was only at the Spirit Sword level, the fact that he managed to breakthrough his Sword Intent twice in such a short time was proof of his exceptional talent in Sword Dao, unmatched by others.
At this moment, Ye Feng felt the essence of the Sword Dao, and his understanding of Sword Intent deepened.
Ye Feng immersed himself in joy, a joy that was all-consuming, as if there was a wide, unobstructed path ahead waiting for him to walk.
Ye Feng traveled steadily along this path, progressing continually, while his Sword Intent grew stronger.
Ye Feng had reached the top level of the Spirit Sword Realm, just a step away from entering the Heavenly Sword Conception. He felt what the Heavenly Sword was: using the power of heaven and earth to unleash Sword Intent, with the Sword Intent attached to weapons, creating great power. The Heavenly Sword, utilizing the forces of heaven and earth, achieving Sword Intent...
Ye Feng stood quietly within the Leaf Pool, swiftly comprehending Sword Intent, unmoving, as time rushed by.
Three days quickly passed, and everyone looked at Ye Feng with a sense of helplessness in their eyes.
"Alas... it seems this is Ye Feng’s limit..." Long Yu shook his head helplessly. Everyone watched Ye Feng helplessly, but no one underestimated him now; Ye Feng had indeed achieved remarkable feats.
After all, Ye Feng managed to elevate his Sword Intent realm two levels in such a short period.
This kind of astonishing achievement was rare even in the history of the Green Lotus Sword Sect. Few could accomplish this. The crowd sensed Ye Feng’s Sword Intent weakening, like a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished.
Everyone knew that once Ye Feng’s Sword Intent disappeared, he would be unable to withstand the Sword Intent in the Leaf Pool.
If that happened, and Ye Feng didn’t leave the Leaf Pool in time, he would be destroyed by the Sword Intent within.
Long Yu shouted loudly: "Feng Ye brother, it’s enough now, you’ve done very well, stop!"
Hearing Long Yu’s shout, Ye Feng remained in the Leaf Pool, unmoving, showing no intention of leaving, continuing to comprehend Sword Intent, yet his Sword Intent grew weaker.
Initially, Ye Feng’s Sword Intent wrapped around him like an armor, resisting the Sword Intent within the Leaf Pool.
But now, the layer of Sword Intent armor was as fragile as a thin veil, on the verge of dissipating.
Everyone grew anxious; if Ye Feng’s Sword Intent armor disappeared, he would be in danger.
Now, cracks appeared on Ye Feng’s Sword Intent armor, spreading continuously.
In a short while, the armor was riddled with holes, and seemed ready to shatter at any moment.
"Get out quickly!" Long Yu urged Ye Feng loudly, with everyone growing tense.
"Boom!" Suddenly, as Ye Feng’s Sword Intent armor was about to shatter completely, an unimaginably terrifying Sword Intent burst forth from Ye Feng, growing powerful once more. Ye Feng’s Sword Intent armor restored its integrity, leaving the crowd stunned: "What!"
Everyone was astonished, originally thinking Ye Feng could not hold on, but his Sword Intent unexpectedly recovered.
At that moment, Ye Feng’s Sword Intent seemed to become stronger, making slight progress, reaching the half-step Sky Sword level. Now, Ye Feng’s Sword Intent was just half a step away from breaking through to the Heavenly Sword level.
The crowd’s mood grew excited, with anticipation in their eyes—perhaps Ye Feng might breakthrough his Sword Intent realm to the Heavenly Sword realm. Time rushes by quickly, and again three days had passed.
Ye Feng had been in the fourth layer of the Leaf Pool for a full six days, astonishing everyone, as no Spirit Sword Top Level Sword Intent practitioner had ever stayed so long in the fourth layer.
At this moment, Ye Feng’s Sword Intent armor was constantly at risk of shattering, as Long Yu furrowed his brow once more.
Ye Feng had stayed in the fourth layer of the Leaf Pool for such a long time, indicating he should be capable of reaching the fifth layer.
Yet, Ye Feng remained unmoving, continuously staying in the fourth layer without any means to move forward, causing great confusion among the crowd.
Seeing Ye Feng’s Sword Intent armor about to collapse, yet he remained immobile.
