Ninefold Nirvana

Lu Yun took the longsword, formed a sword seal with his left hand, and directly unleashed a move from the Heavenly Sword Art.

Qing Yuanzi had not paid much attention at first, but as time passed, when he saw that his newly accepted disciple could already wield the Heavenly Sword Art with such proficiency, a trace of shock gradually appeared in his eyes.

He truly had not expected his disciple to be this formidable, to have actually comprehended every move of the sword art.

Such terrifying martial talent...

It was simply beyond belief!!!

One had to know.

When he had first learned this sword art, he had spent at least several years before gradually grasping some of its crucial points.

But now.

It had only been a few breaths.

Yet Lu Yun had already basically comprehended all the key points of this sword art.

Such progress was simply too terrifying!

This was absolutely not something an ordinary genius could achieve!

Even amid his shock, Qing Yuanzi could not help secretly rejoicing.

He really had found a treasure!

At the same time.

With the longsword in hand, Lu Yun flowed through the various moves of the Heavenly Sword Art as smoothly as drifting clouds and flowing water.

Although it was Lu Yun's first time practicing this sword technique, he had already reached a state of consummate mastery.

"Misty Rain, Ethereal!"

Lu Yun unleashed the most powerful move in the Heavenly Sword Art.

In an instant.

Sword Qi crisscrossed the air, its momentum vast and majestic.

[ Ding! ]

[ Detected the host using the Heavenly Sword Art... ]

[ Sword art experience +10, 3000x critical hit triggered, sword art experience +30000! ]

[ Ding! ]

[ Detected the host using the Heavenly Sword Art... ]

[ Sword art experience +10, 3000x critical hit triggered, sword art experience +30000! ]

Though only a few minutes had passed, his strength had once again risen sharply!

Qing Yuanzi, who stood nearby watching, nearly had his eyes fall out of their sockets.

He could also clearly sense that Lu Yun's aura had grown much stronger than before.

How was that possible?

How long had this brat even been cultivating?

Could his talent truly be so monstrous?

No, that was not right!

I cannot let this brat frighten me!

I am his master, the elder he should respect most!

I absolutely cannot lose my composure too badly before him.

Qing Yuanzi forced himself to calm down, then continued watching the sword moves Lu Yun was displaying.

He discovered that Lu Yun seemed like a sword dao grandmaster who had immersed himself in this sword art for many years, having already reached an utterly flawless realm.

This truly was...

Unbelievable!!!

His newly accepted disciple was simply too heaven-defying!

Too monstrous!

The more Qing Yuanzi watched, the more excited he became!

Lu Yun's talent was simply too high!

He was not a genius in the ordinary sense at all.

He was absolutely a peerless prodigy who appeared once every few hundred years, perhaps even once every few thousand years.

As long as a genius of this level did not fall midway, he would absolutely become an overlord of the cultivation world in the future, with achievements beyond ordinary imagination.

And most importantly, this was precisely what Qing Yuanzi most wished to see.

It was only that too much time had passed.

Over that incomparably long course of years, he had seen far too many ordinary geniuses who thought themselves extraordinary yet were worth less than a penny.

To the point that...

He had completely forgotten what a true genius was.

Now, after witnessing Lu Yun's martial talent with his own eyes.

He even felt a little regret.

Why had he not discovered Lu Yun sooner?

Why had he not accepted him as a disciple earlier?

At that thought, Qing Yuanzi's eyes turned red.

Such talent, such aptitude—even in the era of his youth, it would have been as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns, enough to drive the whole world mad!

He could no longer suppress the impulse in his heart.

His aged, clouded eyes stared fixedly at Lu Yun, as though he were admiring an unparalleled treasure.

The next second.

Lu Yun swung the Falling Leaf Azure Edge Sword in his hand.

An incomparably powerful sword intent erupted from his body.

It was a sword intent Qing Yuanzi had never felt before.

It was as though a towering mountain ten thousand zhang high were pressing down on him, leaving him almost unable to breathe.

At that moment.

Qing Yuanzi's expression finally changed.

He swore.

He had never seen such a powerful sword intent!

Even his own teacher back then had absolutely not possessed such powerful sword intent!

Not far away, Lu Yun stared intently at his own sword.

"Heavenly Sword Art..."

"Seventy-sixth move, Shadow Doppelgänger!"

Lu Yun's voice was low and magnetic.

The moment his words fell.

His figure vanished from the spot like a ghost.

"Whoosh!"

A cold flash swept past.

The Falling Leaf Azure Edge Sword viciously carved an arc through the air.

At once.

A massive crack appeared in the space of the ninth floor.

In an instant, endless gale winds whirled without cease, forming clusters of black tornadoes.

Beyond the crack.

Lu Yun's figure had suddenly disappeared.

"Th-this is impossible?"

Qing Yuanzi cried out in horror. "How is this possible? Only Nirvana Realm experts can accomplish such a thing!"

Through his earlier inspection, there should clearly have been only four spiritual energy stars within Lu Yun's sea of qi and dantian.

But.

The speed he had suddenly erupted with just now was absolutely something only those in the Nirvana Realm could achieve.

How could he have broken through from the Star-Gathering Complete Realm to the Early Nirvana Realm in such a brief period?

Could it be...

That Lu Yun's talent had truly far surpassed his expectations and reached an utterly terrifying level?

"Rumble rumble rumble~~"

At that moment, Lu Yun's figure emerged once more from the gale winds, endless starlight flickering around him.

Upon seeing this, Qing Yuanzi was completely dumbfounded. "Th-this... how could this be? How is this possible?"

He had vaguely guessed what had happened.

At the same time.

The endless gale winds spun madly around Lu Yun, striking him again and again without stopping.

Finally...

An incomparably brilliant and dazzling spiritual energy star condensed within his sea of qi and dantian.

Immediately afterward.

The sixth...

The seventh...

The eighth...

The ninth.

In the blink of an eye.

All the spiritual energy stars had successfully condensed within his sea of qi and dantian.

"Nirvana Realm!!!"

Seeing this unforgettable scene, Qing Yuanzi could not help blurting it out.

At that instant, Lu Yun's aura surged several hundredfold, and an incomparably powerful presence instantly enveloped him.

"Haha, I have finally entered the Nirvana Realm!"

Lu Yun threw back his head and laughed loudly.

Seeing the smile on Lu Yun's face that came from the depths of his heart.

Qing Yuanzi became completely rigid.

At this moment, he finally understood that Lu Yun had not deceived him earlier.

He had indeed completely comprehended the Heavenly Sword Art.
