Chapter 764: A Strange Seed!
"Sword Control Art."
With a thought from Li Yun, forty-nine precious swords suddenly emerged and interlaced to form a sword formation.
With a shift of his body, he stepped onto the top of the sword formation.
Afterward, he controlled the sword formation with his soul power, supporting his body as he rapidly soared upward.
Since he did not want to reveal his true strength but still needed to cross this water wall, flying on swords became the best method.
Even if other cultivators saw it, they would only think that Li Yun’s soul power was exceptionally strong and would not suspect anything else.
"Soul power can actually be used like this?"
"This fellow is truly talented. No wonder he can represent the Profound Origin Immortal Sect in battle."
This scene left everyone stunned.
The cultivators who had been waiting to see Li Yun make a fool of himself froze.
However, while they marveled at Li Yun’s idea, they did not think too deeply about it. They simply assumed that Li Yun’s attainment in the Way of the Soul had indeed reached an extremely formidable level.
From this perspective, Li Yun still had great limitations.
Although the Way of the Soul was powerful, there were methods to counter it.
As long as one targeted him properly, dealing with Li Yun would not be too difficult.
It seemed that the reason the Profound Origin Immortal Sect had sent Li Yun out was more to let him experience the Central Continent Heaven’s Chosen Assembly and broaden his horizons.
Thinking of this, the crowd stopped paying too much attention to Li Yun and focused on how to clear the stage themselves.
In the blink of an eye, Li Yun stepped on the sword formation and ascended several thousand meters into the air.
As he rose, the surrounding pressure became greater and greater.
The forty-nine Violet Thunder Swords alone were no longer enough to support his continued ascent.
With a thought, another fifteen Violet Thunder Swords appeared and merged into the sword formation.
Stepping on the sword formation composed of sixty-four precious swords, he continued to advance upward.
Compared to the other cultivators, he looked significantly more relaxed and far more elegant.
This caused many nearby cultivators who were struggling to climb to grit their teeth in jealousy and resentment.
However, Li Yun’s climbing method was something they could not imitate.
No matter how upset they felt, they could only watch helplessly as Li Yun surpassed them and rapidly climbed higher.
By the time Li Yun climbed to eight thousand meters, the surrounding pressure intensified again.
Sixty-four precious swords were no longer enough to support his continued progress.
He frowned slightly.
Then, with a wave of his hand, the sword formation expanded to eighty-one precious swords.
Afterward, he stood on the sword formation with his hands behind his back and his expression calm, rising upward at a steady pace.
"Just how powerful is this guy’s soul power?"
This scene caused the cultivators waiting for Li Yun to fail to start cursing inwardly.
They were climbing laboriously here, yet Li Yun did not even have to lift a finger and was already about to reach Lake Heart Island.
However, at this moment, Li Yun had actually already used nearly half of his strength.
Although he only used eighty-one precious swords, controlling them in this environment was no less difficult than controlling seven or eight hundred precious swords under normal conditions.
When he reached nearly nine thousand meters, the number of Violet Thunder Swords in the sword formation increased to a full one hundred.
At this point, he was already using seventy percent of his soul power.
Fortunately, not long after, he successfully climbed onto Lake Heart Island with the help of those one hundred precious swords.
"Congratulations. You are the two hundred and thirty-sixth person to reach Lake Heart Island. You have advanced to the main tournament."
On Lake Heart Island, a referee was already waiting at the entrance.
He glanced at Li Yun, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
Up to now, more than two hundred people had climbed onto Lake Heart Island, and there were plenty among them who specialized in the Way of the Soul. But this was the first time he had seen a climbing method like Li Yun’s.
"Next, until the eight hundred spots for the main tournament are filled, you may move freely within Tianxin Island."
The referee said, "Although Elder Tianxin has been gone for too long and the opportunities on this island have long been plundered, if your luck is good enough, you might still find something."
"Thank you for the reminder."
Li Yun nodded.
Putting away the Violet Thunder Sword Formation, he began wandering around Lake Heart Island.
However, just as the referee had said, the opportunities within Lake Heart Island had long been taken away.
What remained on the island were only some insights left behind by the old master of Tianxin Island.
These insights were indeed helpful to Li Yun, but they were benefits for the long term and had no immediate effect on his strength.
Unknowingly, Li Yun arrived at an orchard.
This orchard was said to have been personally planted by Elder Tianxin, and it once contained countless high-rank precious spiritual fruits. Unfortunately, with the passage of time, all the spiritual fruits had long been picked clean.
The spirit trees had also withered long ago, giving the entire orchard an atmosphere of decay and desolation.
"No matter how overwhelmingly powerful an expert is, once they vanish, they cannot escape such a fate."
Li Yun shook his head and was about to leave.
But just then, his brow suddenly furrowed.
He felt something hard under his foot, like a stone.
He lifted his foot and looked down, only to find that it was not a stone, but a seed that had already decayed.
"What is this?"
With a thought, Li Yun stepped down lightly.
This step, however, made his expression change with surprise.
With his current strength, if he did not exert power, then nothing needed to be said. But if he did use strength, he could easily crush a small mountain to powder.
Yet under this step, the decayed seed was completely unharmed.
