Chapter 116: The Important Relic of the Immortal Sword Sect_2
Lu Yi also nodded in agreement.
After that, Xing Jiuzheng spoke with Jian Ruyu, Feng Buming, Wang Qifeng, and Tang Lin Yun individually, and they too were granted access to comprehend Tao at the Divine Sword Stele.
The opportunity to seek enlightenment at the Divine Sword Stele wasn't exclusive to one person; it all depended on one's Sword Tao talent.
Although apart from Lu Yi, the three strongest in sword intent at the Sword Tao Conference were Tang Lin Yun and the others, they were not young, counted as the previous generation's prodigies. Amongst this generation, the undoubtedly strongest were Jian Ruyu, Feng Buming, and Wang Qifeng.
Apart from Lu Yi, these three also qualified to seek enlightenment at the Divine Sword Stele.
Hearing this, numerous sword cultivators were filled with envy yet were quite convinced as Jian Ruyu, Feng Buming, and Wang Qifeng had comprehended eighty percent of sword intent even at the Nascent Soul Realm, almost certainly securing their ability to condense the Sword Dao Domain and step into the Mahayana Realm in the future.
Not to mention Lu Yi, who had formed a Sword Domain at the Golden Core Realm, even the Great Mahayana cultivators of the Divine Sword Sect felt inexplicable awe.
Such Sword Tao talent was akin to that of an immortal.
Later, Xing Jiuzheng and the other Great Mahayana cultivators rode the wind away, while other cultivators were keen to invite Lu Yi to visit the grand city below the Divine Sword Sect to engage in further conversation and make acquaintances.
However, Lu Yi politely declined everyone's invitations, citing exhaustion from the day's enlightenment.
After that, Lu Yi returned to Ruyu Hall with Jian Ruyu, Liu Ningshuang, and Elder Ming.
Back in his room, Lu Yi started to check his rewards with some excitement.
The task rewards for the day were quite substantial, most of which Lu Yi had already claimed earlier.
There were still three task rewards he hadn't claimed.
One was for listening to the old Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect expound on the Sword Dao, another for achieving victory in the sword fighting of the Sword Tao Conference, and the third for condensing the Sword Dao Domain.
The reward for the first was the Cave Void Sword Skill "Heavenly Sword Nine Slashes" and one Sword Heart Fruit.
The Sword Heart Fruit was precious without saying, and the Cave Void Sword Skill was also incredibly powerful.
The Heavenly Sword Nine Slashes could simulate the power of the Heavenly Dao, striking down an opponent like divine swords dispatched from the heavens. There were nine slashes in total, with each increasing in might and the pressure of the Heavenly Dao escalating with every strike.
When the ninth slash descended, it was as if the wrath of the Heavenly Dao crashed down, carrying with it a stern and terrifying majestic force.
Having comprehended the Sword Dao Domain, Lu Yi was like a grandmaster of the Sword Dao. Coupled with his already powerful comprehension, after absorbing the principles of the Heavenly Sword Nine Slashes and its cultivation method, he mastered it after just one read-through.
Even though it was a sword skill of the Cave Void Realm, it was still so for him.
For Lu Yi, understanding sword skills was not difficult; the challenge was that Cave Void Sword Skills required vast amounts of Spiritual Energy. Even with Lu Yi's Spiritual Energy as boundless as the sea and with foundations more solid and terrifying than those of Golden Core or even Nascent Soul cultivators, approaching the strength of Divinity Transformation cultivators, he felt that to activate such a cultivation technique would be incredibly strenuous.

Fortunately, he had now comprehended the Sword Dao Domain, melding himself with the heavens and earth. If his own Spiritual Energy was insufficient, he could draw upon the surrounding Spiritual Energy through his Domain, making it possible to execute such techniques.
Lu Yi internally admired how, with this Cave Void Sword Skill and his own Sword Dao Domain, his combat power far exceeded what it was before.
Lu Yi then took out the Sword Heart Fruit.
The Sword Heart Fruit was crystal clear, with a white miniature sword contained inside that seemed alive as it moved within the fruit. The fruit itself was imbued with tremendous sword intent and the Power of Life.
Without hesitation, Lu Yi devoured the Sword Heart Fruit.
The moment the Sword Heart Fruit entered his body, Lu Yi felt a roiling rainbow mist in his Dantian, and Tao Sounds sounded anew.
Threads of thick Spiritual Energy containing the profound truth of the Sword Tao surged into his Dantian, slowly absorbed by his Glazed Golden Core.
This power, profound as the ocean and unspeakably marvelous, began spreading from his Dantian to every limb and bone. Lu Yi sensed Tao Patterns form on his flesh and bones, derived from the principles of the Sword Tao, similar to the True Dragon Tao Patterns and the Immortal Tao Patterns he had acquired before.
These Sword Tao Patterns inscribed on his flesh and bones altered his physique, as if born with Sword Bones, a natural Sword Body, making him even more receptive to the truths of the Sword Tao.
Lu Yi clearly felt that what he previously needed to comprehend and understand about the principles of the Sword Dao now seemed to become much simpler. He could grasp them instantly, akin to having a Sword Heart birthed within him.
Lu Yi marveled to himself, no wonder the ancient texts recorded that sword cultivators who consumed a Sword Heart Fruit would possess a Sword Heart, becoming Sword Tao monsters, and might even use the sword to prove the Tao and Ascend to Immortal.
Lu Yi had established his foundation using the Taoist Energy and Tao Spirit Pearls. His flesh and bones bore many Tao Patterns, and still, there was such a significant change, which could only hint at how precious this Sword Heart Fruit was.
Lu Yi thought about how he would also be rewarded with a Sword Heart Fruit for his participation in the Sword Tao Conference and felt odd about it.
If he were to auction this Sword Heart Fruit, it would surely make all the sword cultivators of the Eastern Domain go mad. Perhaps only figures on the verge of becoming immortals, like the old Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect, could remain aloof from such a frenzy.
Even Great Mahayana cultivators might not overlook such a precious celestial fruit.
Lu Yi shook his head, with no intention of auctioning it. After all, he wasn't lacking in cultivation resources or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Since he wasn't lacking, why would he auction off something so precious? The auction process itself would also be troublesome, and should his identity become known, he doubted he would know any peace.
