The Way of The Dao

Chapter 323 Spirit Sword Upgraded

?Freeze! Freeze! Freeze!

Slash!

A powerful but soft slash destroyed more than 30 demonic beasts that were nearby when snow lotuses appeared along with the air blizzards, cooling the environment and surprisingly freezing the demonic beasts.

Yun Mengxin opened her eyes in surprise when she easily killed these demonic beasts that were between the Middle and Late Stages of the Golden Core with a single movement of her sword.

Swish!

Her cultivation essence began to be drained instantly, shocking her by not knowing what was happening.

"I have to finish this quickly..." Yun Mengxin moved on to the remaining demonic beasts, quickly finishing off all the beasts in the Middle and Late Stage of the Golden Core.

GROAR!

KRAAK!

The roar of the demonic beasts that were in the Golden Core Peak Stage rumbled around, focusing on the elegant woman who was causing them harm.

The other girls quickly got rid of the demon beasts, eventually leaving less than 20.

Slash!

Yun Mengxin slayed a flying demon beast, while immediately throwing another magnificent cut with her sword at one of the demon beasts on the ground.

Swoosh!

A solid arrow pierced the body of a demon beast, and then another arrow came and split off one of its paws.

Tang Wanying gasped with some heaviness after having largely consumed her cultivation essence by making all those arrows of spiritual energy. However, she had a proud and happy smile as she was aware of her present progress.

Although she was in the Early Stage of the Golden Core, she could still perform these long-distance attacks to harm the demonic beasts and help Yun Mengxin.

Mu Shuiruo, Long Yuyin and Zhang Xinya also retreated and approached Tang Wanying in the sky. They also could not face these demonic beasts in the Peak Stage of the Golden Core; each time they approached, the immense pressure would hinder their movements.

These four women rested for a while as they watched worriedly as Yun Mengxin dealing with the less than 20 demonic beasts that remained. They could not help her much at this point.

Swoosh!

Just after Tang Wanying shot the last spiritual arrow, one shining sword after another went towards the demon beast she had hurt.

A total of three shining swords pointed at the beast and almost killed it, leaving it on the brink of death as the black blood spurted out of its massive body.

* First Strike - 5 Heavenly Swords *

Lan Yin breathed heavily after making the first attack of the <99 Heavenly Swords> skill. But because she was barely learning it, the energy consumption was too much while she was experiencing it. Therefore, Lan Yin could barely summon 3 swords and control them at the same time instead of summoning 5 full swords.

Lan Yin also didn't get too close to the demonic beasts and tried to help Yun Mengxin to lighten the load a bit.

GROARRR!

The demon beasts would roar fiercely for the last time before they were killed by Yun Mengxin's sword.

BANG!

An explosion of energy caught the girls' attention when Yun Mengxin's spirit sword began to glow and draw the energy of the world.

Yun Mengxin now understood what was happening.

It seemed that the sword: <Pure Winter Frost> was going to be upgraded!

She remembered what Ling Tian had told her about this sword earlier.

As her own Chi was also being consumed by the same sword, Yun Mengxin rushed to kill the remaining demon beasts.

Remembering the special skill that came to her mind recently, she used it again and froze the demonic beasts with the cold wind that was generated, slowing down their movements and killing them all quickly.

Yun Mengxin sighed when they finally killed all the demonic beasts. If they were to let a single demon beast escape, they could easily wipe out the Star City.

Shake

The sword in her hands trembled as it continued to absorb the spiritual energy of both the World and her own Chi.

A light covered its entire surface, starting to slightly highlight some subtle lines over the entire blade, as if these were strange patterns appearing all over the surface. It would not be strange to say that even some snow lotuses formed by the same lines could be seen faintly.

Woosh!

The amazing light disappeared at the same time that the sword stopped absorbing the spiritual energy.

Yun Mengxin smiled contentedly when she felt the sword's aura become much more powerful.

The <Pure Winter Frost Sword> had been upgraded and was now a spirit sword of medium level!

"Sister, are you all right?!"

The girls approached Yun Mengxin and asked her with worry. They could not help much because of their levels of cultivation, so they had to rely on Yun Mengxin.

"I am fine." Yun Mengxin responded calmly as she began to think about that amazing and strange skill that had filled her mind, allowing her to easily freeze and kill all those demonic beasts.

"Our husband had given me several spirit and medicinal pills." Mu Shuiruo spoke up and took out several jade bottles from her storage ring. She gave everyone several pills to replenish their energies.

"When did he give these to you?" Tang Wanying was surprised. She and each of the other women had several pills in their spatial rings, but not many.

Mu Shuiruo smiled coyly and said, "He taught me several times so that I would learn more about alchemy, so he said to keep all the ones he made and then I would give it out to you later."

Now everyone understood how Mu Shuiruo had many spirit and medicinal pills.

"Will he be all right?" Long Yuyin asked when she remembered the strength of the void covering Ling Tian and hurt him badly.

"I didn't know that what he said about the void was so horrible..." Zhang Xinya also nodded somewhat in fear when she also remembered Ling Tian before he disappeared.

"Will my Master be all right?" Lan Yin asked worriedly with her little eyes almost crying.

Gently patting her head, Yun Mengxin smiled and replied, "Remember that our husband had told us that he traveled to several worlds and had to go through the void many times, therefore, he can survive in The Void. We just need trust him and wait for his return."

Although Yun Mengxin comforted the other women, she could not help but worry about Ling Tian either; it was a woman's natural worry for her man.

Also, her connection with him was weakened almost to the point of disappearance. Although Yun Mengxin could no longer feel where he was, she knew he was alive because she could feel Ling Tian's breath of life in her. Her mark and connection to him would only disappear if one of them died, but, if that happened... she knew she could not bear it...

'It seems that, if we increase our cultivation more and along with the passage of time, our connection will be strengthened and I think that even if he is in another world I could still feel his location...' Yun Mengxin thought as she recalled all the conjectures Ling Tian had explained to her about the <Yin-Yang of the Heart> Immortal Secret Art.

That special connection was unique and mysterious, so it could be a lifesaver in the future as well.

"We have to keep on cultivating even though we cannot advance much now due to the limitations of this world. Our man may take some time to return to this world, so we must not disappoint him with our strength." Yun Mengxin encouraged the girls with a smile, relieving some of the worry about Ling Tian.

Taking one last but long look at where Ling Tian had disappeared, the girls reluctantly turned around and headed for the Star City to think about what they would do next.
