Ice Ink Blade, Slaughter Blade Art Minor Accomplishment!

The next moment.

Su Yun's entire body shuddered, and the aura he radiated instantly surged in strength.

"Congratulations to Junior Brother Su Yun for your great progress in cultivation, breaking through to the fourth level of the Profound Realm!"

"Congratulations to Su Yun for completing your epiphany and achieving a breakthrough!"

After Su Yun finished his breakthrough, the disciples and elders present spoke up one after another.

Even Elder Mu, who was sitting in the main seat, wore a look of pleasant surprise and sighed inwardly.

This Su Yun is truly a monster!

"I must thank all the senior brothers, senior sisters, and the elder for your generous guidance, which has allowed me to gain so much."

Su Yun cupped his hands in gratitude.

He meant these words from the bottom of his heart.

"The purpose of the Dao Discussion Meeting is to allow disciples to progress together, strengthen cohesion, and improve your strength."

Elder Mu beamed with joy.

Afterward, he looked around at everyone and said.

"Now that everything that needed to be discussed has been discussed."

"Next, if anyone has any treasures, you may bring them out to exchange with one another."

"If you have any intelligence or information, you may also share it or trade it."

"Following the old rules, we elders will first bring out some treasures as prizes."

Having said that, Elder Mu took the initiative to produce a long blade.

The blade was as black as ink, while the hilt was icy blue, radiating a shimmering cold light.

He then began to introduce it.

"This is the Ice Ink Blade, a Profound-grade low-tier weapon forged from thousand-year ink iron and ice soul crystal. It is immensely powerful and incomparably sharp."

"This blade can also unleash a force of ice soul to slay enemies, and it provides a certain degree of amplification for ice-attribute blade techniques."

Elder Mu stroked the blade, his smile warm.

His words immediately captured the attention of many disciples.

A Profound-grade weapon!

Weapons of this caliber were already considered top-tier among inner sect disciples.

Many inner sect disciples were still using Human-grade high-tier weapons or Yellow-grade weapons.

Take Su Yun, for example; the weapon he was currently using was still the Human-grade high-tier blade he had exchanged for at the very beginning.

Disciples capable of wielding Profound-grade weapons were either powerful in their own right or possessed deep backgrounds.

They were very rare.

This blade looks quite good.

At this moment, Su Yun glanced at the Ice Ink Blade, and his heart stirred.

Originally, he had intended to purchase a weapon in Wanyang City.

Unfortunately, he had spent all the silver he had on purchasing a Human-grade high-tier blade technique at the time.

Therefore, he had to temporarily abandon the idea of buying a weapon.

A moment later, the two white-bearded elders beside Elder Mu also brought out their treasures.

"Since Elder Mu is so generous, we naturally won't hold back."

"This is a Spirit Source Pill, considered a third-tier medicinal pill."

"For any martial artist below the Qi Sea Realm, as long as they still have a breath left, taking this pill will allow them to quickly recover from their injuries and return to their peak."

One of the elders took out an exquisite emerald jade box.

After the box was opened, a rich medicinal fragrance instantly permeated the air.

The other elder brought out a Profound-grade low-tier blade technique, which was also quite decent.

Following this, several other inner sect disciples brought out items they wished to trade.

The prices they set were almost entirely in contribution points.

There were also some disciples who wanted large amounts of silver banknotes.

For instance, the price Elder Mu set for the Ice Ink Blade that Su Yun had his eye on was 200,000 contribution points.

It's a pity that almost all the contribution points I had were used to exchange for the Great Sun Profound Heaven Technique.

Withdrawing his gaze, Su Yun sighed inwardly.

The price of 200,000 contribution points was quite expensive, deterring many disciples.

Some of the wealthier disciples pondered for a moment before also giving up on the idea of exchanging for it.

In the end, Elder Mu walked up to Su Yun, holding the Ice Ink Blade, and said with a smile.

"Su Yun, I shall gift this blade to you."

With that, he handed the Ice Ink Blade over.

"Many thanks, Elder Mu!"

Su Yun was stunned for a moment, then accepted the Ice Ink Blade and responded with a smile.

By now, he understood Elder Mu's intentions.

The reason Elder Mu had set the price at two hundred thousand contribution points was precisely to discourage those disciples who wanted to exchange for the Ice Ink Blade.

Now that no one at the scene had made an exchange, he could generously gift this long blade to Su Yun.

If he hadn't gone through this process and had simply given the Ice Ink Blade to Su Yun directly, it would have inevitably caused dissatisfaction among some of the disciples.

After all, there were disciples here with ties to the Great Yun Imperial Family, and he did not want to offend them.

Furthermore, if this matter caused Su Yun to be targeted by certain people or even ostracized, it would have been counterproductive.

"Su Yun, cultivate well."

"I look forward to you seizing the throne of first place at this year's Disciple Ceremony!"

After chatting for a while, Elder Mu said with a smile.

"I will."

Su Yun nodded slightly.

Afterward, Elder Mu departed.

"A fine blade!"

At this moment, Su Yun gripped the Ice Ink Blade in his hand, feeling a chill against his skin, and a smile curled his lips.

With this long blade, his strength could increase once more.

"Have you heard?"

"Three days ago, the number one outer disciple of our sect, Crimson Blade Guest, sensed a trace of Dao rhythm in Heavenly Blade Canyon and successfully comprehended thirty percent of Blade Momentum, and his cultivation realm also broke through to the Mystic Profound Realm!"

"Is this true? I've been to Heavenly Blade Canyon myself and didn't comprehend a thing!"

"Perhaps that is what a true martial arts prodigy is like; although he is not as good as Junior Brother Su Yun, he is still terrifying."

At one point, Su Yun heard several disciples nearby chatting about Heavenly Blade Canyon.

His heart stirred, and he hurriedly asked.

"Senior Brother Song Que, what kind of place is Heavenly Blade Canyon?"

Song Que was drinking wine at the time.

Hearing this, he was taken aback, then pondered and said.

"Heavenly Blade Canyon is located nine hundred miles east of the sect."

"It is said that twelve hundred years ago, a Peerless Blade Saint passed through this area while pursuing a Terrifying Great Demon."

"With a single strike, he unleashed a slash like a thunderbolt from the heavens, spanning hundreds of miles, and ultimately slew the demon."

"Because of this, that canyon became known as Heavenly Blade Canyon."

"The canyon still retains traces of that strike, containing profound Dao rhythms."

"Some geniuses with exceptional comprehension have managed to grasp Blade Momentum there, and even created various blade techniques."

After listening, Su Yun was astonished.

A single strike, spanning hundreds of miles!

The mere residual traces of the attack were enough to allow martial artists to comprehend Blade Momentum and even create blade techniques.

The strength of that Blade Saint was truly terrifying!

"Junior Brother Su Yun, your comprehension is terrifying; perhaps if you go there and meditate, you will gain a great deal!"

At this moment, Song Que's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly offered a reminder.

"I was just planning to go."

Su Yun smiled.

He had been worrying about how to rapidly improve his Blade Momentum.

Now that he knew of such a treasure trove as Heavenly Blade Canyon, he naturally had to go and take a look.

Some time later.

The Inner Sect Dao Discussion Meeting had finally come to an end.

Every disciple had gained something, to a greater or lesser extent.

By this time, Su Yun had already returned to his living quarters.

Early the next morning, he rose and set out.

In the faint light of dawn, Su Yun rode his horse, galloping toward Heavenly Blade Canyon.

"I must head in this direction."

Su Yun held a map, racing his swift steed along the main road.

Several hours later, he finally arrived at Heavenly Blade Canyon.

Su Yun leaped from his horse and cast his gaze outward.

Between the vast heaven and earth, mountain ranges rose and fell in an endless expanse.

A great blue river cut through several mountain ranges, surging toward the east.

The peaks on both sides were covered in forests, filled with the cries of birds and beasts.

Yet, what drew the most attention was not the scenery.

It was a terrifying blade mark that cleaved through the mountains!

This single strike had spanned hundreds of miles, carving out an entire canyon!

"What a terrifying blade mark."

Feeling the Sha Qi and blade intent emanating from the void, Su Yun felt a shiver run through his mind.

He composed himself and stepped deep into the canyon.

The core area.

It was already packed, filled with people everywhere.

Martial artists in various attires sat with their eyes closed, deep in contemplation and earnest realization.

"No spots left?"

Su Yun frowned.

After waiting for a moment, a very thin, elderly monk slowly stood up.

He walked past Su Yun, head hanging low and face expressionless.

In a daze, he muttered to himself.

"I have sat here for years, yet I can hardly grasp its essence."

"I came empty-handed, and I leave empty-handed, destined to die with regrets."

Clutching a rusted iron blade, the old monk staggered away, looking utterly dejected.

Such was the path of cultivation; it was like rowing a boat against the current—if you do not advance, you retreat.

Without sufficient talent and potential, it was impossible to reach the pinnacle.

Su Yun glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze.

"Is this the blade mark left behind by the Blade Saint?"

He stepped forward, arrived at the spot where the old monk had been sitting, and reached out to touch the mark.

Here, he could touch the blade mark with his hand; the position was very far forward.

Clearly, the old monk who had just left must have been quite powerful.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to occupy this spot for several years.

"Time to begin."

Su Yun calmed his heart and focused his mind.

His gaze was like a torch as he began to study it in earnest!

Gradually, he became lost in thought, flashes of inspiration surfacing in his mind.

Until, at a certain moment.

A voice echoed in his mind.

Slaughter Blade Art has detected a profound blade mark; it is excited and is continuously comprehending, cultivation efficiency has surged!

Slaughter Blade Art, flash of inspiration erupted, comprehension complete, gained much, successfully broken through to the Minor Accomplishment stage!
