Epiphany! A Surge in Cultivation, Sword Slaying the Bright Moon!

Tian Buyi took a deep breath and tried hard to calm himself.

As he looked at Su Han, he was both delighted by Su Han's talent and filled with anticipation for Qingyun Sect's future.

"This boy will surely lead Qingyun Sect to new heights of glory."

Tian Buyi thought to himself.

After hearing their master's involuntary, suppressed exclamation, the people in the square erupted into an uproar.

"Huh?"

"An epiphany?!"

"That's an opportunity countless prodigies can only dream of!"

"Junior Brother Su Han actually entered a state of epiphany after sparring with Senior Brother Song? That's too unbelievable!"

Du Bishu's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

"Indeed. We have cultivated for years without ever encountering such an opportunity. Junior Brother Su Han's talent is simply beyond our reach."

He Dazhi shook his head with a sigh, his tone brimming with envy and admiration.

The others also began whispering among themselves, their shock plain for all to see.

"I never expected Junior Brother Su Han to possess such extraordinary talent. Today has truly opened my eyes."

"It seems Qingyun Sect is about to produce another peerless expert."

Su Ru stood to one side, her beautiful eyes likewise filled with surprise and gratification.

As she looked at Su Han, she inwardly marveled that his future achievements would surely be limitless.

At that moment, Tian Ling'er's gaze was fixed tightly upon Su Han as well, her eyes shining with admiration.

"Su Han... he's truly incredible."

Tian Ling'er murmured softly, her gaze full of longing.

Even Zhang Xiaofan, who understood nothing, stood amid the crowd listening to their discussion and looking at Su Han. He vaguely understood what an epiphany was.

For a moment, the shock in his heart was beyond words.

He had already been full of envy toward Su Han, but now that he saw Su Han enter a state of epiphany, he felt the gap between them was as vast as heaven and earth.

"I'm so envious of Senior Brother Su Han..."

Seeing the crowd's commotion, Tian Buyi frowned slightly. Then he gave a light cough, and the discussions immediately ceased.

"Quiet!"

Tian Buyi's voice was not loud, yet it carried an unquestionable authority.

"Su Han is currently in a state of epiphany. This is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity and cannot tolerate the slightest disturbance."

"All of you, return to your rooms. Do not make noise here."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

For a time, the disciples present moved with utmost caution, afraid of making even the faintest sound.

Tian Ling'er was reluctant to leave. She wanted to see what Su Han would gain from his epiphany, but she also knew this was not the time to be willful.

She gave Su Han one last look, her eyes full of anticipation, before slowly turning around and leaving with the others.

Tian Buyi watched everyone's departing backs, then looked at Su Han, who was immersed in enlightenment. He slowly walked to one side and silently stood guard over him.

"I hope this epiphany will take Su Han's strength to the next level!"

"These are troubled times indeed!"

Su Han paid no attention whatsoever to the outside world.

He seemed like a vortex now, as the blue spiritual energy around him surged madly into his body.

Endlessly.

At the same time, Su Han felt that his spiritual sea was utterly clear. Countless faintly discernible sword intents shone like a brilliant field of stars.

Sword intent flickered, glittering like radiant stars.

Su Han could sense sharpness and resolve within them, like an unstoppable torrent pressing forward. Yet there was also harmony and tranquility, a balance between hardness and softness.

Some were tyrannically invincible, some elegant and agile, some light and graceful, each interpreting a different Dao through the sword.

Like the heavenly grace of thunder and the flowing vitality of water, contradictory yet not interfering with one another—rather, they complemented each other.

Before Su Han, a path of swordsmanship seemed to unfold, one belonging solely to him and leading toward an entirely new "world," allowing him alone to ascend to heaven.

"So a sword can be used like this?"

Su Ru and Tian Buyi stood not far away.

Their eyes were fixed upon Su Han, their hearts full of anticipation and contemplation.

Su Ru suddenly tilted her head slightly and softly said to Tian Buyi, "Buyi."

"What do you think Su Han will gain from this epiphany?"

Tian Buyi furrowed his brow slightly. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Su Han possesses Heavenly Talent."

"This epiphany will certainly allow his cultivation to advance another step. As for anything else? That's hard to say."

Su Ru nodded, a thoughtful gleam in her beautiful eyes. "I feel the same."

Tian Buyi sighed, his expression holding both gratification and concern. "These are troubled times. Su Han's growth is crucial to Qingyun Sect."

"But his talent may also draw the covetous eyes of other sects."

Su Ru nodded slightly, her expression solemn. "That is indeed true."

"We must protect Su Han well and let him grow in a safe environment. I only hope he can mature quickly and hold up the heavens for Qingyun Sect."

Tian Buyi stared at Su Han with firm eyes. "No matter what, we must ensure Su Han's safety. He is unquestionably Qingyun Sect's hope."

Just as the two spoke, the surging spiritual energy suddenly subsided.

Ding! Congratulations, Host. Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao has entered the second layer of the Yuqing Realm. The number of times you may plunder 'Word Traits' has increased. Please check carefully.

Ding! Congratulations, Host. Great Brahma Prajna has entered the third layer of the Shengwen Realm. The number of times you may plunder...

Su Han ignored the system notifications.

He slowly opened his eyes, where silver-white "flames" burned.

Tilting his head slightly upward, he looked toward the vault of heaven and softly chanted, "With my sword, I slay the bright moon. Leaning upon the heavens for ten thousand miles, I face the celestial palace—Open!"

In an instant.

Su Han swung his sword, and an incomparably resplendent silver-white sword radiance shot skyward from Great Bamboo Peak.

A bright moon slowly rose, its cold light spilling over the square like a dream.

Tian Buyi and Su Ru stared in shock at the two moons in the sky, rendered speechless as stormy waves surged in their hearts.

"It seems Qingyun Sect has never possessed such a miraculous sword art, one that can summon a bright moon with a single strike..."

"Could this be a new sword art Su Han created during his epiphany?"

As Tian Buyi gazed at the moon in the sky, the shock in his eyes deepened.

He felt that Su Han's sword strike was far from as simple as it appeared.

"A bright moon rises with one sword strike? Then could it... make a bright moon fall with one sword strike?"

"Hiss!"

This thought circled endlessly through Tian Buyi's mind, making him suck in a sharp breath.

"If it truly can!"

"The potential and power of this sword art seem no weaker than Qingyun Sect's four greatest sword arts: Seven Stars Sword Style, Ghost Slaying True Spell, Divine Sword Controlling Thunder True Spell..."

The shock in Tian Buyi's heart could not be calmed for a long while.

He looked at Su Han, his gaze filled with fervor.

"This boy's cultivation talent defies the heavens, and his talent in the path of the sword is equally terrifying. He is truly a 'true dragon'!"

"Perhaps his future achievements will not fall short of Ancestor Qingye!!!"

Su Han quietly gazed at the bright moon in the sky, his eyes full of delight.

A moment later, he slowly sheathed his sword.

As the long sword returned to its sheath, the dazzling moon gradually vanished as though it had never appeared.

Peace returned to Great Bamboo Peak.

Yet whether it was Tian Buyi or Su Ru, or even Tian Ling'er, Zhang Xiaofan, Song Daren, and the others who had been secretly watching, the shock in their hearts could not subside for a long time.

At that moment, Su Ru eagerly stepped forward, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.

"Xiao Han, did you create this sword art during your epiphany?"

"What is the name of this sword strike?"
