Chapter 1234: Chapter 757: Convergence at the Seventh Trial, Come and Meet Your Death

“Senior Brother Yu Jian, how has your comprehension come along?”

At the seventh stage of the Sword Dao Channel, Qing Xii inquired.

“The Sword Intent of this seventh stage is profoundly intricate. I’ve only grasped about four to five parts of it so far,” Yu Jian sighed.

“Senior Brother, you can comprehend four to five parts, while I can only manage three parts up to now,” Qing Xii said helplessly. “It seems I can’t get past this seventh stage, and can’t keep up with your pace, Senior Brother.”

In the previous stages, Qing Xii could still rely on her innate talent in Sword Dao to follow Yu Jian and clear the stages all the way to this point.

But ultimately, her foundation is somewhat lacking compared to Yu Jian’s.

After such a long time, the Sword Intent of this seventh stage still seemed so elusive, and she could barely grasp three parts of its true essence.

It seems quite unlikely to completely comprehend it and successfully pass the stage.

“Don’t give up,” Yu Jian encouraged. “There is a ten-year time limit to pass this seventh stage, and only two or three years have passed so far, so there is still hope.

Even if you can’t pass the stage, comprehending more of the Sword Intent here is still beneficial.

The Sword Intent contained within these Trial Sword Stones clearly holds a remarkable Sword Dao inheritance.

Comprehending more of it is highly beneficial for our accumulation in Sword Dao.”

“You’re right, Senior Brother, I’ve been somewhat too impatient,” Qing Xii realized.

After this small awakening, she also became somewhat enlightened.

In fact, after being here for so long, she already understood that the Trial Sword Stones in this Sword Dao Channel are both tests and opportunities.

The profound Sword Intent contained within them is in itself an extremely advanced Sword Dao inheritance.

If complete, it would be no less than the core Sword Dao Cultivation Techniques of their Kongming Sect.

However, the Sword Intent of this seventh stage was too deep and obscure for her to comprehend smoothly, which made her a bit impatient.

“But Senior Brother Yu Jian, if I can’t pass the stage, I won’t be able to join hands with you in the later stages to deal with Mo Tushan and others,” Qing Xii worried.

“Don’t worry. They might not necessarily be able to overcome me. Besides, I’m not confident in passing this seventh stage either, so it’s too early to worry about such things,” Yu Jian smiled.

“With your Sword Dao Cultivation, Senior Brother, you will definitely be able to pass the stage,” Qing Xii was quite confident about this.

Just as Yu Jian was about to say something, suddenly, a light appeared in the space of the seventh stage.

The two became immediately alert, with their treasure swords instantly in their hands, the sword lights flashing, ready to fight at any moment.

Ever since being ambushed by Mo Tushan once, the two had been somewhat skittish.

Whenever there was a commotion, they thought someone was coming to ambush them.

However, when they saw the position where the light appeared, it wasn’t from those seven Transmission Arrays but rather from the very center of the space.

“Senior Brother Yu Jian, this doesn’t seem like someone is coming from another channel. Instead, it looks like…”

Seeing the situation, Qing Xii hesitated to say.

Before she could finish her sentence, a figure appeared in the beam of light.

Their Heart and Spirit immediately tightened.

Even the Old Cyan Dragon, observing from the Immortal Palace, became tense.

They didn’t know if Lu Qing would clash with Yu Jian and the others.

Yet, when the light dissipated, fully revealing the appearance of the figure within, Yu Jian and Qing Xii were dumbfounded.

“It’s you?”

Seeing it was actually Lu Qing, Qing Xii’s eyes widened.

Although she had seen that the beam of light meant someone had passed the sixth stage to reach the seventh.

But she never expected that the one who passed the stage would be Lu Qing.

Qing Xii naturally recognized Lu Qing.

When he had toyed with Mo Tushan, she was watching from the side, mocking Mo Tushan along the way.

Plus, the speed Lu Qing demonstrated that day left a deep impression on her.

What she didn’t expect was for Lu Qing to show up at the seventh stage of the Sword Dao Channel.

From the light pillar earlier, it was clear that he was progressing stage by stage, advancing to the seventh stage.

A cultivator with a Five Tribulation Primordial Spirit managing to keep up with them in the Sword Dao Trial Channel was astonishing to Qing Xii.

She knew not even other disciples from their Kongming Sect or the Sky-breaking Sword Sect had reached the seventh stage yet.

Among their junior brothers and sisters, there were those who had achieved the Seven Tribulations Perfection.

“So it’s you two fellow Daoists at the seventh stage, my respects to you both.”

Seeing Yu Jian and Qing Xii, Lu Qing was somewhat surprised.

He hadn’t expected that after so much time, these two were still at the seventh stage.

He had originally thought he would encounter them at least at the eighth or even the ninth stage.

“Fellow Daoist, you truly hide your skills well, we were all mistaken,” Yu Jian sighed.

By now, he fully understood that Lu Qing had been concealing his abilities all along.

No wonder he dared to venture alone into the Returning Ruins Secret Realm.

“Daoist Yu overpraises me; I haven’t even thanked you for your help with that sword blow,” Lu Qing expressed his gratitude.

When he first entered the Returning Ruins Secret Realm, Mo Tushan attacked Lu Qing, and it was Yu Jian’s intervention that allowed him to escape smoothly.

Even though Lu Qing believed he could have successfully left without Yu Jian’s help,

if not for Yu Jian’s intervention, he would have had to reveal some of his trump cards.

This favor, he remembered.

“You’re joking, fellow Daoist. With your strength, my previous help was unnecessary,”

Yu Jian didn’t feel he had done Lu Qing any favor.

Given the speed this person later displayed, escaping from Mo Tushan was a trivial matter and didn’t require his assistance.

Lu Qing just smiled, without offering much explanation.
