Chapter 116: The Important Relic of the Immortal Sword Sect_3
Now that the task of participating in the Sword Tao Conference has not yet been completed, Lu Yi estimates that it will only be truly completed after he has gone to the Divine Sword Stele to comprehend the Sword Tao.
Lu Yi is not in a hurry, he has already used one Sword Heart Fruit, and using another one wouldn't make much difference, as he is currently in a Sage state.
The reward for winning the sword fight task is a top-grade Artifact, the Mingxin Sword. By entering the deepest part of the Sword Tao Platform, Lu Yi naturally wins at any time, thus completing the task.
The Mingxin Sword is a long sword as cold and clear as the moon. As a top-grade Artifact, it is naturally extremely powerful, far surpassing the Profound Sun Sword. It greatly enhances sword intent. Holding the Mingxin Sword, Lu Yi's strength can be greatly improved.
Lu Yi stored away the Mingxin Sword, ready to replace the Profound Sun Sword.
As for the task of condensing a Sword Tao Domain, it was a task Lu Yi issued before he started condensing his Domain.
The rewards are also quite generous, rewarding a full 100 drops of Ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Marrow. Just this reward alone is formidable, and Lu Yi will no longer have to worry about cultivation resources.
Absorbing his gains, Lu Yi continues his cultivation.
Early the next day, Jian Ruyu woke Lu Yi, and he stepped out of his room; today, he would go to the Divine Sword Stele to comprehend the Sword Tao.
Jian Ruyu's expression was extremely happy and excited, somewhat different from usual.
Lu Yi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Senior Sister Ruyu, why are you so excited? Isn't the Divine Sword Stele the treasure of the Divine Sword Sect? Haven't you been there before?"
Jian Ruyu rolled her eyes at Lu Yi and said, "What do you know, kid? The Divine Sword Stele was left by our ancestor; it's extremely precious. Even the geniuses of our Divine Sword Sect only have a chance to enter it after making significant contributions. In the many years since I joined the Divine Sword Sect, I have only entered it three times, and each time my sword intent underwent a transformation. Otherwise, my sword intent would have not reached this stage."
Having heard her, Lu Yi suddenly understood and looked forward to the effects of the Divine Sword Stele even more.
Jian Ruyu looked at Lu Yi, then smiled and said, "Later, I'll follow Junior Brother. After you've comprehended, I'll mooch off your Tao Yun, and I should reap some benefits."
Liu Ningshuang looked at the self-satisfied Jian Ruyu speechlessly and said, "Don't you feel ashamed at all?"
Jian Ruyu was unperturbed and laughed, "What's there to be ashamed of? My talent isn't as good as Junior Brother's. What can I do? I might as well cling to Junior Brother's coattails and wait for him to take me to new heights, right?"
Lu Yi was speechless too. Senior Sister Ruyu was truly resigned to her situation, lying down frankly.
Lu Yi couldn't help but think back to their first meeting, when this woman saw the golden Spirit Dew, her face devoid of any image of elegance as she slurped her noodles.
Liu Ningshuang was somewhat speechless too, unsure of what to say.
Liu Ningshuang couldn't go to the Divine Sword Stele, nor could Elder Ming.
Lu Yi and Jian Ruyu left Ruyu Hall together and headed for the Divine Sword Stele.
The Divine Sword Stele is located in the central area, at the hilt of the Stone Sword according to Jian Ruyu's introduction.
Lu Yi and Jian Ruyu soared into the sky together, flying towards the heavens.
In mid-air, there was a small floating Immortal Mountain. On top of the Immortal Mountain, there was a luxurious grand hall, which Jian Ruyu explained was the main hall of the Divine Sword Sect.
In the square outside the main hall, Feng Buming and Wang Qifeng had already arrived, clearly both were very expectant.
Feng Buming had an indifferent expression while Wang Qifeng appeared calm. Neither of them spoke.
Upon seeing Jian Ruyu and Lu Yi land, both looked over. The previously calm pair each revealed a smile and approached.
Feng Buming smiled and said, "Brother Lu Yi, you finally came. I was a bit afraid you wouldn't make it in time."
Lu Yi smiled and replied, "Isn't it still early?"
Wang Qifeng also smiled slightly, "Comprehending the Divine Sword Stele is a great opportunity. Brother Lu seems quite composed."
Jian Ruyu, holding her jade sword, laughed and said, "Junior Brother is confident!"
While the four of them were talking, two Great Mahayana elders descended from the sky to the ground.
"Greetings to the two Elders."
The two Great Mahayana Elders had their hands behind their backs and their gaze swept over the four. They lingered a bit longer on Lu Yi before speaking, "Everyone is here? Then let's set off."
A group of people soared into the sky and continued to fly upwards, passing through layers of clouds, until they finally arrived above the clouds.
Here, the sun in the sky seemed intensely hot, and they finally reached the hilt of the Stone Sword.
The Stone Sword was extremely large, towering into the clouds, and even its hilt was like a massive platform. The group of people landed on the hilt platform, looking like ants on a square.
Lu Yi and the other three followed and drew closer to the handle of the Stone Sword. The handle was like a pillar of heaven, engraved with chaotic and random Sword Traces.
These Sword Traces emitted a Mysterious sword intent, which was like the innate philosophy of the Sword Dao, condensing into peculiar patterns in the air.
In front of the handle, besides the few of them, there were also over a dozen old men and women with white hair and beards, looking incredibly aged.
Their aura was profound, radiating terrifying fluctuations, as fearsome as stars.
All of them were Great Mahayana cultivators, even more powerful and terrifying than the two Elders leading the way.
Lu Yi even suspected that among these old people there were Tribulation Crossing Practitioners, so strong they were.
At the moment, these Elders paid no attention to Lu Yi and his companions; instead, they were contemplating the Sword Traces on the hilt and the patterns condensed in the air.
All of them were comprehending the Sword Dao.

The two Elders lowered their voices and said, "You four find a place yourselves to comprehend. Do not disturb the predecessors. You only have one day."
Hearing this, Lu Yi and the others nodded their heads.
They all knew they were pressed for time and walked over.
Lu Yi found a spot and sat down first, with Jian Ruyu nonchalantly sitting beside him. Even Feng Buming and Wang Qifeng seemed to unintentionally lean closer to his side.
Lu Yi was full of black lines; these guys all planned to mooch off his comprehension.
However, he didn't mind. As all three were his future Practice Task opponents, the stronger they became, the happier he would be.
After all, the rewards would be greater.
After sitting down, Lu Yi shifted his attention to those Sword Traces and patterns.
When Lu Yi truly focused, he was shocked. The sword intent emanating from the Sword Traces and the patterns condensing in the air were all exceedingly extraordinary; even he found them difficult to comprehend, and felt somewhat mystified as he watched.
Some of them even seemed like enigmatic scriptures to him, causing a splitting headache with just one glance.
Lu Yi was astonished. The Divine Sword Stele was indeed left by the founder of the Divine Sword Sect who became an Immortal, and it was truly extraordinary.
A thought struck Lu Yi, and he whispered to himself, "I want to comprehend the Divine Sword Stele."
[Task]
Comprehend the Divine Sword Stele
Reward: Sword Tao Domain enhancement, Immortal Sword Order.
Do you accept the task: Yes/No
Seeing the task reward, Lu Yi was a bit dumbfounded.
Sword Tao Domain enhancement; this was probably because his Sword Tao Realm had improved to the Domain Realm, coupled with the incredible value of the Divine Sword Stele itself, hence such a reward was offered.
What surprised him was the Immortal Sword Order.
The Cultivation Technique he practiced was the Immortal Sword Scripture, which was the Sect Suppressing Skills of the once Immortal Sword Sect. After cultivating the Immortal Sword Scripture, Lu Yi consciously looked into information about the Immortal Sword Sect, gaining some understanding of it.
This Immortal Sword Order was an important token of the Immortal Sword Sect, usually held by the Sect Leader. After the fall of the Immortal Sword Sect, no one knew its whereabouts.
He didn't expect that the task would actually reward him with one?
Lu Yi was thrilled. If he found the ruins of the Immortal Sword Sect, with the Immortal Sword Order in hand, he might have the chance to obtain the complete Immortal Sword Scripture!
