Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All

315 Is This Your True Strength?

Two purple longswords appeared in Dong Xi’s hands. Everyone started discussing in shock.

“What is this sword? How did it become two?”

“It looks very powerful. Junior Sister Dong Xi can turn defeat into victory?”

“There’s no need to say anything more. We all know that treasures that can change their forms are at least Treasured Tools.”

!!

“I suddenly feel a little envious. She could use a Treasured Tool in the Qi Refinement stage. I’m a Senior Brother who is already at the Golden Core stage, but I only have a low-grade tool.”

…

Gu Yao looked at the sword in Dong Xi’s hand and said with a smile, “Junior Sister, is this your true strength?”

She had never heard of Dong Xi’s second sword. Dong Xi had been hiding it until today. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Dong Xi had hidden it well.

Dong Xi shook her head and said, “Senior Sister, it’s not that exaggerated. Just think of it like… I’m struggling on the verge of death.”

“Junior Sister is modest,” Gu Yao said in surprise.

Gu Yao knew that Dong Xi had not used her Central Plains spells or the seal.

Dong Xi held the two swords and adjusted to the weight. Then, she looked at Gu Yao confidently and said, “Please enlighten me, Senior Sister.”

“Then I’ll make my move.” Gu Yao raised the sword in her hand.

Seeing Senior Sister Gu Yao’s serious expression, Dong Xi immediately got ready. Dong Xi immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Dong Xi subconsciously used her spiritual energy to cover herself with a protective barrier.

Ding…

A tiny Sword Qi collided with the protective shield. Dong Xi immediately became alert and focused to the extreme.

If it was not for her sixth sense, Dong Xi would have lost already.

Dong Xi frowned as she looked at Senior Sister Gu Yao.

A streak of Sword Qi swam around Senior Sister Gu Yao, as if adding a mysterious halo to her.

A cool breeze blew past, and Senior Sister Gu Yao’s black hair moved slightly. Gu Yao smiled and said, “Very vigilant.”

Dong Xi did not have time to say anything before her gaze was attracted by the Sword Qi around Senior Sister Gu Yao.

Sword Qi? Senior Sister Gu Yao actually had a trump card as well. Senior Sister Gu Yao was only a few years older than Dong Xi, but she actually had this level of Sword Qi?

Dong Xi was shocked. The impetuous emotions that she had just felt seemed to have been pulled down by an invisible hand.

Dong Xi was a little lucky, and her cultivation speed was not bad. However, there was always someone better than her.

While cultivating, one would not forget their original intention… What was her original intention?

Dong Xi narrowed her eyes. Suddenly, a long sword appeared in front of her and stabbed toward Dong Xi’s heart. Dong Xi wanted to dodge, but she was unable to do so…

That’s right, Dong Xi’s original intention was to live on.

Everything Dong Xi had done was not for the sake of being praised, nor was it for the sake of becoming famous. She just wanted to survive.

However, looking at all the living beings in the world, which one of them did not want to live?

Mayflies lived and died in the blink of an eye for humans.

Mortals only lived for a hundred years, but Immortals in the cultivation world only lived for a moment.

These cultivators seemed to have lived for hundreds of thousands of years longer than ordinary people, but in the long period of time, it was just a small ripple.

…

When Gu Yao’s Sword Qi reached Dong Xi, she realized that Dong Xi’s condition was not right and immediately stopped.

As expected, in the next second, Dong Xi sat cross-legged on the stage.

The heaven and earth Spiritual energy was like a flood that rushed towards Dong Xi, washing away her meridians, flesh, and even… her spirit root.

At this moment, the figure in front of Dong Xi slowly faded. The face and figure that Dong Xi thought she would never forget in her life also began to blur.

Dong Xi was a little dizzy as she floated in the void, her entire body drifting with the flow.

Dong Xi did not know how long this state would last, but sooner or later, Dong Xi would reach the end.

Dong Xi opened her eyes and found that she was still in the arena.

There were also cultivators meditating below the arena. Dong Xi could not believe it. She actually had an Epiphany on the arena?!

Dong Xi blinked her eyes as she looked around for Senior Sister Gu Yao.

As soon as this thought appeared, the scene of the arena appeared in her mind, without her even turning around.

Dong Xi was stunned. This was… Divine Sense?

Only cultivators who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage would have Divine Sense? Dong Xi was only at the Qi Refinement stage…

Something was wrong? 9th level of Qi Refinement?

Dong Xi clicked her tongue. No wonder everyone wanted to have an Epiphany. This Epiphany would save them a lot of time to cultivate.

At this moment, Dong Xi realized that Senior Sister Gu Yao was not in the arena.

Dong Xi felt annoyed. She stood up and cast a cleaning spell on herself, looking around.

Why wasn’t Senior Sister Gu Yao here?

Dong Xi did not know that during this period of Enlightenment, a lot of time had passed. Even the people in the crowd were different.

Some of them had already started their closed-door cultivation because of Dong Xi’s Enlightenment. Some of them had just arrived, so they were meditating below.
