At the sight of this, Chen Tianhua was completely dumbfounded.
The Blade Momentum Realm was not something one could advance through easily.
And the higher one's realm, the harder it was to improve.
Many martial artists, even after comprehending Martial Dao Momentum, might never reach the perfected realm in their entire lives.
Even talented martial artists with excellent comprehension had to spend a long time at it.
For example, it had taken him a full ten years to raise his Palm Momentum to perfection!
And Su Yun?
Only two months!
"Chen... Sect Master Chen, do you think it's possible that Third Young Master wanted to get close to this Black Broken Blade so he could comprehend its Blade Intent and thereby bring his own Blade Momentum to perfection?"
Chen Ying, standing nearby, felt his heart jolt and slowly spoke up.
At the same time, even he was startled by his own guess.
Just the Blade Intent radiating from this broken blade had brought about Enlightenment, allowing Su Yun to bring his Blade Momentum to the perfected realm!
Such comprehension was simply terrifying.
Chen Tianhua was taken aback at first.
Then, as if remembering something, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "I heard that Su Yun joined the Mystic Blade Sect no more than two months ago, right?"
"By now, he's already reached the Mystic Profound Realm and become an Inner Sect disciple. Is that information correct?"
"That's right."
Chen Ying nodded.
Su Yun himself had said so, so there was no doubt about it.
"Whew!"
Chen Tianhua drew a deep breath, then exclaimed in amazement, "I can tell you that Su Yun's cultivation isn't just at the first or second stage of the Mystic Profound Realm."
"He's already reached the fourth stage."
"He's only one step away from the fifth!"
"What? Third Young Master is already at the fourth stage of the Mystic Profound Realm?"
Chen Ying's eyes went wide.
He had to remember that just two months ago, Su Yun had been an ordinary person with no cultivation at all!
"Su Yun's natural talent is truly frightening."
"How long has he even been cultivating? He's already reached this level."
"He's a true martial arts prodigy, born to cultivate!"
"With talent this terrifying, it's not impossible for him to gain Enlightenment from the Blade Intent and comprehend perfected Blade Momentum."
The more Chen Tianhua spoke, the more astonished he became. The way he looked at Su Yun had changed completely.
If Su Yun hadn't joined the Mystic Blade Sect, Chen Tianhua would have tried every means to bring him into the Blazing Fire Sect.
He might even have handed over the position of sect master to Su Yun!
Unfortunately, Su Yun had already become an Inner Sect disciple of the Mystic Blade Sect.
All Chen Tianhua could do was envy them!
"Wait, I can befriend the Su Estate!"
Suddenly, an idea struck him.
He immediately turned to the disciples beside him and gave them a stern reminder. "Remember this: from now on, anything that concerns the Su Estate concerns the Blazing Fire Sect."
"If the Su Estate ever faces trouble, the Blazing Fire Sect must do everything in its power to help!"
"Yes!"
The disciples didn't dare say anything more. They hurriedly nodded in agreement.
At the sight of this, Chen Tianhua beamed.
He knew very well that the best time to befriend a genius was before they had grown powerful.
Especially when they were in trouble—to offer help when they were in dire straits!
"To form a good bond with Su Yun while he's still weak is a blessing many people could beg for and never receive!"
"My Blazing Fire Sect must seize this opportunity."
Chen Tianhua thought to himself.
At that moment,
watching the terrifying aura radiating from Su Yun, he felt even more certain of his decision.
A while later, Su Yun finished comprehending the Blade Intent and took another step forward.
Boom!
Suddenly, the Black Broken Blade trembled violently.
In the next instant, a razor-sharp black blade arc tore through the air and shot straight toward Su Yun.
Whoosh!
The black blade arc landed between Su Yun's brows, transforming into a black blade-shaped imprint.
It flickered in and out of sight, strange and mysterious.
"Slaughter Blade Art has comprehended perfected Blade Momentum, successfully resonating with the Black Broken Blade."
"The Black Broken Blade has voluntarily bestowed a special Blade Intent Imprint for you to comprehend."
"Slaughter Blade Art has observed Blade Intent far beyond its own level. It cannot comprehend it at present and has fallen into deep thought."
"Hm? My Blade Momentum has actually resonated with the Black Broken Blade?"
"And this broken blade has voluntarily given me a Blade Intent Imprint?"
Su Yun looked surprised, and a few guesses came to mind.
Perhaps this Black Broken Blade possessed a will of its own?
For instance, a weapon spirit!
Of course, that was only a guess.
"Whatever the case, this is a good thing."
"If I can fully comprehend this Blade Intent Imprint, I should be able to grasp Blade Intent."
"And I'll be able to raise my Blade Intent to a certain level."
"Unfortunately, this Blade Intent Imprint is too profound. The Slaughter Blade Art can't comprehend it yet."
"Well, I'll let nature take its course."
After thinking it over for a moment, Su Yun stopped dwelling on it.
He moved away and quickly returned to Chen Tianhua's side.
"Su Yun, my friend, I'm completely convinced!"
"Just the pressure of the Blade Intent was enough to send you into Enlightenment and let you comprehend perfected Blade Momentum."
"Such comprehension is truly astonishing!"
Chen Tianhua stroked his beard and smiled, his face full of wonder.
"I was just lucky."
Su Yun smiled faintly, saying nothing more.
"Haha! Su Yun, my friend, you're too modest!"
"This Black Broken Blade has been here for hundreds of years. Who knows how many people have tried to comprehend it during that time?"
"But how could their comprehension compare to yours?"
"That you managed to comprehend it is all down to your own ability!"
Chen Tianhua laughed heartily and offered a compliment.
"Brother Chen, you flatter me."
Su Yun smiled in reply.
"Ah, look at me, forgetting my manners!"
Suddenly, Chen Tianhua slapped his forehead, then shook his head with a laugh.
"We've been talking all this time, and I haven't even invited you inside to sit down."
"Come, this way!"
"Let me show you around the Blazing Fire Sect!"
"Our sect may not be as powerful as the Mystic Blade Sect, but the scenery is quite lovely, and we also have the famous Fire Spirit Tea."
"Su Yun, why not come and try some?"
"Gladly."
Su Yun nodded without refusing.
Since Chen Tianhua had gone to such lengths to host him, Su Yun found it hard to refuse and stayed at the Blazing Fire Sect for half a day.
It was nearly dusk before he finally returned to the Su Estate.
Over the next three days, Su Yun took some Jade Marrow Pills and refined them continuously, finally advancing to the fifth stage of the Mystic Profound Realm!
He also bought some Human Grade Body Refining techniques for Father Su, Mother Su, and the others to practice from time to time.
If they had time, they could also soak in medicinal baths.
Even if it didn't strengthen their bodies, it would surely help them live longer.
One morning,
Su Yun planned to return to the Mystic Blade Sect.
After all, he had spent several days at home and had taken care of everything. He no longer had any worries holding him back.
So, naturally, it was time to return to the sect.
"Yun'er, take good care of yourself. Don't overwork."
Before he left,
Father Su and Mother Su were both reluctant to see him go, and they reminded him again and again.
"I will."
Su Yun nodded with a smile.
"Third Brother, I'm looking forward to the day you soar to greatness!"
Su Lin, standing nearby, was the opposite of them. He laughed and gave Su Yun a hug, as carefree as ever.
After chatting for a while, Su Yun set off.
In the faint light of dawn,
everyone could only watch as Su Yun's figure grew smaller and smaller, blending into the radiance.
Then it gradually disappeared.
Su Yun wasn't carrying much on this trip back to the sect.
The most important items were naturally the Jade Marrow Pills!
The pills Su Ling had refined were even more effective than the ones exchanged for within the sect.
So he had brought six bottles of Jade Marrow Pills with him.
Each bottle contained five pills.
That would be enough for the time being.
As time passed,
the great sun rose from behind the mountains and slowly climbed into the sky.
It cast down one ray of purple light after another.
On the road,
under the radiance of the great sun's purple glow, Su Yun's whole body shone with a rich golden light, a sight most peculiar.
At a certain moment,
a voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
"Great Sun Profound Heaven Technique has bathed in the purple dawn glow and successfully broken through to the third layer!"
