However, Lu Yun already had some guesses about the ninth level. He knew very well that he would not be able to pass it with his current strength.

Because he had already used up most of his energy in the eighth level, and it could even be said that he had played all his cards. It was almost impossible for him to get through the ninth level in this state.

But this does not mean that Lu Yun cannot pass the ninth level. He just needs some time to adjust his condition and organize the gains from passing the first eight levels.

After all, no matter how monstrous a genius is, he still needs room to grow. There is no such thing as someone who is born invincible. At least Lu Yun himself has never seen one, and he doesn't dare to think about it.

Taking it step by step is the best path for him!

After all, the ninth level is not like the previous levels, but the last level set by the owner of the inheritance land. It is impossible for the challenger to pass it so easily.

If it's too easy, wouldn't it lose the purpose of the test?

Therefore, Lu Yun had already prepared himself mentally before he challenged the level. With this mentality, he was naturally not afraid of the so-called setbacks and blows.

Lu Yun took a deep breath and stepped into the ninth level. The scene in front of him suddenly changed. It was no longer the previous arena, but a mountaintop shrouded in clouds and mist. On the top of the mountain, a swordsman in white stood with his hands behind his back. His face was exactly the same as Lu Yun's, but he exuded an extraordinary temperament.

Before the swordsman in white could make a move, Lu Yun felt an invisible pressure coming towards him, as if it was going to suck him in. He was shocked, because this pressure did not come from the sword energy, but some more mysterious power that made him want to indulge in it involuntarily.

"This is..." Lu Yun thought to himself, "Could it be the fifth level of telekinesis, a realm above the power of sword heart?"

The swordsman in white smiled and said, "You are quite good to have made it this far. However, you still have a long way to go to pass the ninth level."

As soon as he finished speaking, the swordsman in white began to practice swordsmanship. His swordsmanship was elegant and agile, yet it was sharp and indestructible, as if it could cut through everything in the world. Lu Yun felt dazzled and couldn't see his sword moves clearly.

"What an amazing sword technique!" Lu Yun exclaimed in his heart, "This is no longer just a simple sword technique, but it integrates mental power into the sword moves, reaching a whole new realm!"

The swordsmanship of the white-robed swordsman put Lu Yun into a strange state. He seemed to see a whole new world, a world of swordsmanship full of infinite possibilities. He watched the white-robed swordsman's every move and every sword style with fascination, wanting to remember them all in his mind.

However, just when Lu Yun was about to indulge in it, a light suddenly flashed in his mind. He suddenly woke up and felt a sense of fear.

"That was a close call!" Lu Yun thought to himself, "I almost got caught! Although this sword technique is exquisite, it carries a deceptive power. If I get addicted to it, I'm afraid I'll never be able to get out of it!"

Thinking of this, Lu Yun quickly collected his mind and stopped looking at the swordsman in white. Instead, he began to examine his own heart. Why did he practice swordsmanship? Was it to become stronger? To protect? Or to pursue the illusory peak of swordsmanship?

"No, neither of them." Lu Yun gradually understood, "I practice swordsmanship to protect the people I care about and to prevent tragedy from happening again!"

Thinking of this, a hint of determination flashed in Lu Yun's eyes. He raised his head and looked at the white-robed swordsman, his eyes full of gratitude.

The swordsman in white had finished practicing his swordsmanship. He put away his sword and stood up, looking at Lu Yun and asked, "How is it? Do you understand?"

Lu Yun shook his head and smiled, "The senior's swordsmanship is profound and extensive. I am dull and only understand a little bit. However, I have found my own swordsmanship, which is enough."

The swordsman in white was slightly stunned, then burst into laughter, "Good! Good! Good! You can understand this point, it is worth my practicing this set of swordsmanship. This set of swordsmanship is called 'Soul-Enchanting Sword', which I created when I reached a special realm during my pursuit of swordsmanship. Although this swordsmanship is powerful, it can easily make people lose their original intentions. It is rare that you can resist the temptation."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun couldn't help but laugh. The name of this sword technique was quite apt.

"Thank you for your praise, Senior. I just understand my goal." Lu Yun cupped his hands and said, "Since I have seen your swordsmanship, I will take my leave now."

After saying that, Lu Yun turned around and left without any hesitation.

The white-robed swordsman looked at Lu Yun's departing back, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"What an interesting little fellow." The swordsman in white said to himself, "Although he didn't defeat me, his talent and understanding are the best I've ever seen in my life. If the master were still alive, he would definitely be the master's most proud disciple."

……

At the foot of Jianshan Mountain, Emperor Zhenwu, Jade Ding Zhenren, Lu Bufan and others, as well as alien sword practitioners such as Sion and Galio, were anxiously waiting for news from Lu Yun.

"Why hasn't Lu Yun come out yet? Could something have happened?" Xuantian Sword Master said anxiously. He is like this and can't keep things in his heart.

"Shut up your crow mouth!" Jade Ding Zhenren said unhappily, "Lu Yun is a lucky man, nothing will happen to him!"

Although Emperor Zhenwu did not speak, it could be seen from his furrowed brows that he was in a very heavy mood at the moment.

Just when everyone was about to despair, a ray of sword light flew down from the Sword Mountain and landed in front of everyone.

"Lu Yun!"

"Good brother!"

When everyone saw this, they were overjoyed and gathered around.

"Lu Yun, are you okay?"

"How's it going? Did you pass the ninth level?"

"Haha, I knew you could do it!"

Facing the chatter of the crowd, Lu Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Hey guys, can you let me take a breath first?"

"Right, right, right. Look at us. We were so excited that we forgot you just passed a level." Xuantian Sword Master slapped his head and said, "Tell me quickly, how many levels have you passed?"

Lu Yun showed a trace of embarrassment on his face and said, "Well... I only passed the eighth level."

"Eight levels?!" Xuantian Sword Master exclaimed, "What about the ninth level? Why didn't you pass it?"

Lu Yun spread his hands helplessly and said, "I made it, but the ninth level was too difficult. I was no match for it."

"What?!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"You are not my opponent? How is that possible? How come you can't even get through the ninth level?" Lu Bufan said in disbelief.

"Yes, Lu Yun, with your strength, how is it possible that you can't even get through the ninth level?" Emperor Zhenwu also looked at Lu Yun with a puzzled look.

Lu Yun sighed and said, "The strength of the gatekeeper of the ninth level is unfathomable. I am no match for him at all. To be honest, I couldn't even withstand a single move from him!"
