I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1474: Chapter 1474: Sword Heart Profundity! (3/3) Chapter 1474: Chapter 1474: Sword Heart Profundity! (3/3) Darkness.

Endless darkness.

Yet within this darkness flowed a rich immortal aura and the Power of Law, as if an intact miniature world.

After falling through darkness for an unknown duration,

the surroundings gradually brightened.

Ye Qiubai looked around, his expression filled with shock and uncertainty.

This place, it didn’t seem like the stomach of a magical beast at all…

It looked more like a deserted island floating above the sea.

The “sponge” surrounding the island was green, emitting wisps of white smoke. As Ye Qiubai stood on the shore of the island, he casually threw a useless item into it, and it directly corroded.

Ah, it seemed they were indeed inside the stomach of a Qingming beast.

At that moment, Ye Qiubai glanced aside to see Li Che and Xuanyuan Suxian equally surveying their surroundings. Noticing Ye Qiubai’s gaze, they turned to look at him.

Li Che asked with a smile, “May I know who you are? From which Sword Dao aristocratic family do you hail?”

Ye Qiubai pondered for a moment. He couldn’t mention The Cottage—should his master find out, he would be condemned to sweeping mountains… No, that’s wrong, now it would be sweeping the Longevity World…

So he replied with a smile, “Green Cloud Sword Sect.”

Green Cloud Sword Sect?

Li Che paused slightly, and Xuanyuan Suxian’s brow slightly furrowed, as if pondering the origins of this power.

Though there might be forces sharing the same name, certainly among the top-tier Sword Dao powers of the Qingming Continent, there was no such entity as the Green Cloud Sword Sect.

Li Che chuckled, his contempt not the least bit concealed, “In that case, we are not of the same path.”

It wasn’t that sword cultivators all had noble principles, but each sword cultivator would staunchly endorse their point of view with no hesitation.

Simply put, they never doubted their perspective was wrong; they were always right…

Ye Qiubai, intrigued, questioned in return, “Oh? Why is that?”

Li Che declared with pride, “Talent and bloodline—undeniably, having the capacity to be in the same predicament as us shows you have some talent compared to ordinary people. But ultimately, there is still a vast difference.”

He didn’t mention their backgrounds explicitly, but his words orbited closely around it.

In their view, one percent of talent was more significant than ninety-nine percent, and if one was born with talent and bloodline in a top-tier aristocratic family, then naturally their talent and bloodline wouldn’t be too lacking.

Especially for top-tier forces like the Li and Xuanyuan families.

After all, the higher the strength and realm of the ancestors, the offspring who carry their bloodline would also inherit their talent, albeit to varying degrees.

Li Che patted Ye Qiubai’s shoulder, “I mean no disrespect. It’s just that one day the gap between us will grow wider, and there will certainly be no possibility of meeting again, hence why I say we are not of the same path.”

Ye Qiubai shrugged his shoulders, seemingly unconcerned.

After all, he thought the same.

It was just a switch of roles, that’s all.

While they conversed, Xuanyuan Suxian had already started walking towards the interior of the island.

Li Che and Ye Qiubai followed suit.

The island seemed out of the ordinary—the ground felt somewhat soft, pulsating rhythmically as if breathing.

It was like walking on flesh walls…

Looking into the distance, the landscape was neither rugged nor mountainous; there was only a seemingly boundless “plain.”

In front of them, which was also the island’s center, stood a sword plunged into the ground.

Seeing this scene.

Xuanyuan Suxian’s eyes widened in a rare display of emotion, “Could it be… the legacy of the Green Cloud Sword Master?”

Li Che’s breath also hurried, “I never expected the legacy to be within the belly of a Qingming beast, no wonder we couldn’t find any trace after such a long search.”

Ye Qiubai felt the Qingyun Order for a moment.

Its aura was directed straight at the sword in the very center.

Hmm, that’s right.

Ye Qiubai also remembered the words the Green Cloud Sword Master had said to him before.

Being someone with a Sword Bone, if others found out, the trouble would probably be great.

Moreover, Xuanyuan Suxian and Li Che represented the two top Sword Dao aristocratic families of the Qingming Continent…

The allure of the Sword Bone was probably something they couldn’t resist.

Therefore, from the beginning to the end, Ye Qiubai had been concealing his Sword Bone, never showing it to the outside world.

This time as well, he needed to be cautious and try not to let the two of them find out.

Xuanyuan Suxian and Li Che, however, did not pay attention to Ye Qiubai, only to hear Li Che burst out laughing, “Xuanyuan Suxian, let’s see who will get this opportunity in the end!”

Having said that, unable to restrain himself anymore, he charged straight toward that sword!

Xuanyuan Suxian let out a cold snort and also drew his sword to give chase.

Ye Qiubai, on the other hand, was not in a rush.

The inheritance of the Green Cloud Sword Master was definitely not easy to obtain, being fast or slow didn’t make too much of a difference, what mattered was whether one could withstand the test.

As expected, when Xuanyuan Suxian and Li Che were still about a hundred meters away from the sword in the center, their eyes suddenly widened, pupils contracted, and their forward charge abruptly halted.

Fortunately, they steadied their bodies, otherwise stopping so abruptly would likely have resulted in a tumble.

There was no sense of pressure around them, nor sword intent, nor the Power of Law, nor the oppression of immortal aura.

Yet, they involuntarily came to a stop.

When Ye Qiubai also stepped into the position of Xuanyuan Suxian and Li Che, he too was momentarily startled.

The expressions on the faces of Xuanyuan Suxian and Li Che were unsightly.

They had realized that it wasn’t because of their strength or sword intent.

It was their heart, their Sword Heart, that hesitated.

There seemed to be a kind of indefinable, ineffable aura here, swirling around in their Sword Hearts, repeatedly going back and forth, replaying the most difficult decisions and issues they had faced over and over, deepening the impressions each time.

It might not sound like much.

But under the infinite amplification of this aura.

The heart grew heavier, and the body followed suit.

Looking ahead at the sword sticking into the ground, a hundred meters felt like tens of millions of meters…

But at this moment, beside the two of them, a figure began to advance.

The footsteps were steady and unhurried, one step following another, very stable, without any pause.

Xuanyuan Suxian and Li Che were stunned, then they lifted their heads to look at Ye Qiubai who had already taken twenty-some steps, and was still moving steadily forward.

Both of their faces were dumbstruck.

What… what was going on?

Was he not affected?

Could it be that his Sword Heart was flawless?

But…who could guarantee their inner self was flawless, who wouldn’t encounter moments of indescribable difficulty?

Ye Qiubai was somewhat puzzled as well.

But only Lu Changsheng knew why Ye Qiubai was unaffected by this kind of mental attack.

Ye Qiubai had the constitution of the Sword Heart Profundity.

What is called Profundity, is to be thoroughly understood and clear.

This kind of Sword Heart test, for Ye Qiubai, could be said to possess a unique advantage!
