Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

However, when Chu Yunfan tried to leave, the fat man grabbed him and said:

"Brother Yunfan, as your brother, let me tell you another secret."

My master, the peak master of Tianquan Peak, told me that the rewards for this inner sect competition are exceptionally generous.

It's said that the prize for first place is a sacred artifact!

"What? A sacred artifact!"

Admittedly, Chu Yunfan was indeed excited when he heard the words "sacred artifact".

The reason is simple: sacred artifacts are incredibly powerful and extremely rare; they are the kind that you can't buy even with a lot of spirit stones.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there's only one level difference between a spiritual artifact and a sacred artifact.

However, no matter how powerful a top-grade spiritual artifact is, it is nothing but trash in front of the lowest-grade holy artifact.

Because the power of sacred artifacts has exceeded the comprehension of ordinary cultivators, it is not spiritual power at all, but the mysterious and incomparably powerful power of the rules of heaven and earth.

Before the power of the laws of heaven and earth, all ordinary forces are nothing but clay chickens and earthenware dogs, easily destroyed with a single blow.

In short, Chu Yunfan doesn't care about ordinary treasures.

However, Chu Yunfan was determined to obtain this rare treasure, the sacred artifact.

However, there is one more question before that.

Chu Yunfan grabbed the fat man's arm and asked with an extremely serious expression:

"Brother Fatty, is your master really the peak master of Tianquan Peak?"

"Did he really tell you about the sacred artifact?"

Fatty always gave Chu Yunfan the impression that he was a braggart and unreliable.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan must find out the truth of what the fat man just said.

Sensing Chu Yunfan's blatant suspicion, the fat man panicked. He pulled a token from his pocket, handed it to Chu Yunfan, and loudly explained:

"This is the token my master gave me. Take a look for yourself!"

Don't think Fatty only knows how to brag, hmph!

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan immediately took the token from the fat man's hand.

The token appeared to be made of black gold, and was hard and heavy.

On the back of the token is a sword formation made up of countless small swords.

The front of the token is engraved with the character "权" (quan), which is unclear whether it represents Tianquan Peak or the name of the peak master.

However, looking at the token on the surface, there is nothing unusual about it.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan decided to channel his sword intent into the token to check it.

However, just as Chu Yunfan's sword intent was about to touch the surface of the token, before it could even penetrate, the token suddenly emitted an incomparably sharp and powerful aura.

Upon sensing this aura, Chu Yunfan broke out in a cold sweat and quickly withdrew his sword intent.

"This aura is dozens of times stronger than the oppressive feeling brought by the soul of that eagle demon king!"

Chu Yunfan was still in shock. He had a feeling that if he had really sent his sword intent into the token, the aura within the token would have exploded completely, instantly tearing him to pieces.

Then, Chu Yunfan returned the token to the fat man and said:

"Don't get excited, I believe you!"

Chu Yunfan believed that only a sword master at the Martial Emperor realm could possess that powerful aura.

Judging from this, the fat man wasn't bragging before.

After all, words can be said carelessly, but the aura within the token cannot be faked.

"It seems I'll have to train even harder to win the sacred artifact reward for first place!"

Chu Yunfan's eyes were resolute, and then, under the fat man's extremely surprised gaze, he walked directly into the depths of Sword Valley.

The fat man was surprised because the sword intent in Sword Valley was not lying there quietly; it would automatically launch an attack as soon as it sensed the presence of a living being.

Therefore, the area within Sword Valley is divided into several levels.

The outermost layer contains some basic sword intent, suitable for beginners to enter and comprehend.

Further inside is the Lesser Mastery level of sword intent. Only those who have already entered the realm of sword intent can come to this area to comprehend it.

Next comes the Great Completion level of sword intent. Only those who have already comprehended sword intent to the Lesser Completion level can reach this point and comprehend sword intent.

Then, at the deepest part, are the perfect sword intents left behind by some top sword masters.

Ordinary inner disciples, even those at the peak of the Martial Venerable realm, cannot survive without a sufficiently strong sword intent.

So, as soon as you enter this area, your consciousness will be instantly shattered by the sword intent within, and you will die without even a chance to escape.

At this moment, Chu Yunfan ignored the outer layers and went straight to the deepest part of Sword Valley.

As Chu Yunfan ventured deeper into Sword Valley, the fat man's mouth, agape in surprise, widened to an exaggerated degree, seemingly large enough to fit a 200-pound chubby boy.

When Chu Yunfan stepped into the deepest part of Sword Valley, not only the fat man, but all the inner disciples in Sword Valley couldn't help but look at Chu Yunfan.

In an instant, an extremely heated discussion broke out in Sword Valley.

"Look, who's that? How did they get to the deepest part of Sword Valley!"

The first person to see Chu Yunfan exclaimed in surprise.

As soon as these words were spoken, people immediately noticed Chu Yunfan again.

"Where is it? Let me see!"

"Holy crap! It really is!"

Then, voices of doubt arose.

"Who is this? I've never seen him before?"

That's amazing! I have absolutely no recollection of it!

Soon after, more and more people voiced the same doubts.

"I remember, wasn't it only Wu Pojun, the chief disciple of Kaiyang Peak who was known as the strongest in the inner sect, who had mastered the sword intent?"

This person doesn't look like Jian Shisan either!

"That's right! I've met all the top ten disciples in the inner sect, and he's not any of them."

Where did this guy come from? He's too fierce!

……

Of course, Chu Yunfan could no longer hear any of the discussions outside.

As soon as he entered the deepest part of Sword Valley, a powerful sword intent at the perfect level locked onto him.

At this moment, he was fully activating the wind sword intent in his mind to resist this sword intent.

Fortunately, this sword intent only sensed Chu Yunfan's aura and was passively triggered, without fully unleashing its power.

Otherwise, with Chu Yunfan's fully developed Wind Sword Intent, he simply wouldn't be able to withstand the power of a perfected sword intent.

As the battles continued, Chu Yunfan gradually came to understand the true nature of this sword intent.

"This sword intent seems to be an armor-piercing sword intent, possessing endless sharpness, but it's not the wind sword intent I'm looking for!"

Chu Yunfan thought to himself, and then continued to fight against the sword intent while slowly moving his feet toward other areas deep within the Sword Valley.

Chu Yunfan came directly to the deepest part of Sword Valley to find the perfect level of Wind Sword Intent, and then, by comprehending the essence of the perfect Wind Sword Intent, he could also raise his own Wind Sword Intent to the perfect level.
