Sword Manipulation Technique! Man and Sword as One! Heading to Tongtian Peak!

"Thank you, Master's Wife, for bestowing this sword upon me!"

"This disciple will not disgrace Ink Snow's might!"

Ji Changfeng respectfully reached out and accepted the Ink Snow Divine Sword.

Holding the sword with both hands, he gave Su Ru a slight bow.

The moment his words fell.

A powerful Sword Intent erupted from his body.

"Rumble!!"

The Sword Intent burst from his body.

In an instant, it surged into the Ink Snow Divine Sword in Ji Changfeng's hands.

"Clang—"

In that instant, the Ink Snow Divine Sword blossomed with a brilliant azure light and let out a clear Sword Cry. It seemed to be rejoicing...

After being sealed away for so many years, it had finally welcomed a new master—and one exceptionally compatible with it!

At this sight.

Both Su Ru and Tian Buyi smiled faintly.

Divine Swords possessed spirits.

There were only two ways to control them.

The first was to forcibly subdue them; the second was to gain the Divine Sword's recognition.

Forcibly subduing one would only make the sword spirit constantly resist, preventing its full power from being unleashed. But gaining the Divine Sword's recognition was different...

The sword spirit would cooperate with you wholeheartedly.

It would bring its power to the fullest!

At this moment.

The instant Ji Changfeng obtained the Ink Snow Divine Sword, he gained the recognition of this Nine Heavens Divine Weapon.

As long as he was strong enough.

He would be able to unleash the full might of the Ink Snow Divine Sword!

"Old Seven, since you've already reached the Jade Pure Fifth Layer, find some time to make a trip to Tongtian Peak."

Tian Buyi spoke in a deep voice.

Some time ago, his senior brother, True Master Daoxuan, had told him to send Ji Changfeng to Tongtian Peak once he reached the Jade Pure Fourth Layer...

Now, Ji Changfeng had already reached the Jade Pure Fifth Layer.

And he had also received the Ink Snow Divine Sword bestowed by Su Ru. It was indeed time for him to visit Tongtian Peak.

He just did not know what his senior brother wanted with Old Seven.

Tian Buyi was puzzled.

"Yes, Master." Ji Changfeng bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Once this disciple has practiced the Sword Manipulation Technique, I shall go to Tongtian Peak to pay my respects to Martial Uncle Sect Leader."

"Mm, go on."

Tian Buyi waved his hand lightly.

Holding the Ink Snow Divine Sword, Ji Changfeng saluted Tian Buyi and Su Ru. Only then did he turn and leave Shoujing Hall.

Su Ru turned to Tian Buyi with concern. "Buyi, what exactly does Senior Brother Sect Leader want with Changfeng? He isn't planning to send him to handle matters involving the Demonic Sect, is he?"

Recently, the Demonic Sect had been growing restless.

Xiao Yicai of Tongtian Peak had already been dispatched...

Tian Buyi pondered for a moment and waved his hand. "Probably not. How long has Old Seven been cultivating? Less than half a year, even counting generously. How could they possibly send him to deal with the Demonic Sect?"

Though he said that.

He still felt an inexplicable worry in his heart.

After leaving Shoujing Hall.

Ji Changfeng headed straight for the Back Mountain of Dazhu Peak.

He had actually mastered the art of sword flight long ago.

But because he had lacked an Artifact, he had never had the chance to try it.

Now.

He could finally attempt sword flight.

The sword flight method of the Zhu Xian World was incredibly simple, and somewhat crude at the same time...

How should he put it?

Rather than calling it sword flight, it would be more accurate to call it Object Levitation.

So-called Object Levitation relied purely on powerful spiritual power to communicate with an Artifact's spirituality, allowing one to fly by controlling an object...

Yes, that was right.

It was that simple.

There was practically no technique involved.

Anyone at the Jade Pure Fourth Layer could basically do it after a little practice.

It was truly far too simple.

Ji Changfeng casually tried it a few times.

Before long, he was flying through the sky on his sword without any obstruction.

"Boom—"

At that moment, a voice suddenly resounded beside Ji Changfeng's ears from somewhere unseen.

You have flown on a sword for the first time. Having perceived the crudeness of sword flight, you have created a new sword flight method—Sword Manipulation Technique!

Sword Manipulation Technique: Also known as Sword Escape. Man and Sword as One; transform into sword light and ride the sword across a thousand li in an instant!

A mysterious and profound sensation instantly flooded Ji Changfeng's heart.

At this moment.

He entered a state of enlightenment once again.

"Sword Manipulation Technique? Sword Escape?"

A moment later, Ji Changfeng slowly opened his eyes, surprise appearing within them.

Then.

Without the slightest hesitation, he directly attempted to use the Sword Manipulation Technique.

"Whoosh—"

In an instant, a dazzling streak of sword light appeared.

Ji Changfeng's body seemed to merge with the sword light, entering a state of Man and Sword as One.

"Whoosh!"

With a thought from Ji Changfeng.

The sword light instantly shot forward.

Its speed was countless times faster than ordinary sword flight...

The Sword Manipulation Technique was not merely a spell for traveling.

It also possessed formidable killing power, allowing him to control a flying sword against enemies as he pleased, without even needing to move himself...

It could only be said that it was an exceptionally practical spell.

"Whoosh—"

The sword light swept across nearly half the Qingyun Mountain Range in an instant, reaching Tongtian Peak at its center before long.

Ji Changfeng gradually slowed down.

Finally, he landed halfway up Tongtian Peak.

After all, a Formation had been set up in the skies above Tongtian Peak. Without permission, no one was allowed to fly on a sword there. Otherwise, at best they would be shot down by the Formation; at worst, they would be severely injured by its power...

Ji Changfeng knew this as well.

Thus, he landed directly halfway up the mountain, intending to walk to Yuqing Hall and pay respects to True Master Daoxuan.

"Stop right there!"

At that moment, a sharp rebuke suddenly rang out.

Several Tongtian Peak disciples appeared not far away. They watched Ji Changfeng, suspicion visible in their eyes.

"Which peak are you a disciple of? Why have you come to Tongtian Peak?"

One of the Tongtian Peak disciples spoke.

Hearing this, Ji Changfeng smiled faintly. He put away the Ink Snow Divine Sword in his hand and cupped his fists slightly toward the disciples.

"Ji Changfeng of Dazhu Peak greets you, Senior Brothers."

"I have come to Tongtian Peak today to pay respects to Martial Uncle Sect Leader. I ask that you please announce my arrival."

After saying this.

A faint azure light emanated from Ji Changfeng's body.

It was unmistakably the aura of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao.

Seeing this, the surrounding Tongtian Peak disciples wore astonished expressions.

"Ji Changfeng? Why does that name sound familiar?"

"Hiss—"

"I remember now! He's that Prodigy who reached the Jade Pure First Layer in one night and the Jade Pure Second Layer in half a month!"

"What? It's actually him?"

The Tongtian Peak disciples were greatly shocked.

At once, they hurriedly cupped their fists toward Ji Changfeng, not daring to show the slightest neglect.

"So it is Junior Brother Ji?"

"Forgive our disrespect."

"Please come with us to Yuqing Hall, Junior Brother Ji. We will report to Master..."

Ji Changfeng smiled faintly. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brothers, to lead the way."

Seeing this.

The Tongtian Peak disciples felt somewhat flattered.

Was this the monster-level genius of Dazhu Peak?!

He actually did not put on any airs at all.

At the same time, they were also somewhat shocked.

They had not expected Ji Changfeng to have reached the Jade Pure Fourth Layer in less than half a year of cultivation.

Of course, that was merely what they assumed.

Sword flight did indeed require cultivation at the Jade Pure Fourth Layer.

But Ji Changfeng had long since reached the Jade Pure Fifth Layer!

Following several Tongtian Peak disciples through the Sea of Clouds and across Rainbow Bridge, they arrived at the deep pool where the Water Qilin Spiritual Venerable dwelled.

Ji Changfeng deliberately glanced inside.

But unfortunately, he saw nothing.

"Is Junior Brother Ji hoping to catch a glimpse of the Spirit Venerable's true form?" one Tongtian Peak disciple asked with a smile.

"Indeed." Ji Changfeng nodded with a smile.

Another Tongtian Peak disciple explained, "The Spirit Venerable rests all day long. Even we rarely get to see him."

"So that's how it is."

Ji Changfeng nodded thoughtfully.

The group chatted merrily as they arrived outside Yuqing Hall.

"Please wait here for a moment, Junior Brother Ji. I will report to Master."

One of the Tongtian Peak disciples said this.

Ji Changfeng smiled and nodded. "Go ahead, Senior Brother."

Hearing this, the Tongtian Peak disciple nodded and entered Yuqing Hall. But he came back out shortly afterward.

With a smile on his face, he said,

"Junior Brother Ji, Master has asked you to enter."

"Alright." Ji Changfeng nodded slightly.

Cradling the Ink Snow Divine Sword in his arms, he slowly walked into Yuqing Hall.
