Chapter 23

The Golden Divine Pill made Ye Feng’s martial arts qualities incomparably monstrous, and his memory was naturally also monstrously powerful.

Old Man Mayi did not know that at this moment, Ye Feng had already imprinted the shocking sword strike from earlier into his memory, allowing him to reflect on it anytime, anywhere.

At this moment, Ye Feng sat cross-legged on the training ground, and within his body, in a void-like space, a sword-shaped light orb was slowly forming.

Old Man Mayi walked up to Ye Feng, his aged eyes seemingly able to see through everything. He stared at the young man in front of him, utterly astonished.

"Hmm? This kid’s comprehension is so strong. I only demonstrated one sword strike, and it actually made him凝聚剑意，形成了一颗剑心。”

For a sword cultivator, comprehending sword intent means they can be called a Sword Practitioner.

And forming a sword heart by condensing sword intent within the body means surpassing the Sword Practitioner stage and entering the extremely rare Sword King realm!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this kid has an infinite future, an infinite future indeed."

Old Man Mayi stared at Ye Feng carefully, the admiration in his eyes growing stronger.

"However, it still needs some time. Once the sword heart is fully condensed, he will achieve the Sword King realm!"

Old Man Mayi exclaimed, knowing that many sword cultivators, even after surpassing the four basic martial realms and achieving the Martial King title in the Sealed Title Martial Realm, still cannot form a sword heart and reach the Sword King realm.

Because the Sword Dao realm is not determined by martial cultivation, but by the cultivator’s comprehension of the sword.

Clearly, Ye Feng’s performance was too extraordinary. He was about to form a sword heart and become an initial-stage Sword King at the First Heaven of the Spirit Martial Realm, which was simply monstrous.

"Truly a freak of a kid..." even Old Man Mayi said this.

Then, the old man walked away with his hands behind his back, humming a little tune, as if he had discovered a treasure.

This was a piece of unpolished jade. Once refined, it would surely shine brightly and illuminate the nine heavens. The old man was very much looking forward to what level Ye Feng would reach in the future.

Old Man Mayi left, and the entire training ground was left with only Ye Feng, who sat cross-legged with his eyes tightly closed. He was undergoing the extremely difficult process of condensing his own sword heart.

Once successful, it would mean that Ye Feng had officially become a young Sword King!

This was a tremendous achievement, a shocking one.

If it were to spread, it would surely shake the entire Nanyang County City, and even the entire Great Yan Dynasty!

While Ye Feng was sitting cross-legged, quietly comprehending the shocking sword strike and condensing his sword heart on the central training ground of the Ye Clan,

Chu He, the young lord of Nanyang County City, brought dozens of experts from the City Lord’s Mansion, all clad in armor, with a fierce and stern demeanor, to the Ye Clan’s residence.

The guards at the entrance of the Ye Clan’s residence naturally recognized this young lord of Nanyang County City, who held a noble status, and did not dare to obstruct him, quickly making way.

Chu He directly led dozens of his subordinates, with a majestic presence, to the family garden where Ye Shen Yue resided.

"Brother Chu, I was planning to go to the City Lord’s Mansion to find you today, but I didn’t expect you to come so early."

Ye Shen Yue walked out of her residence, her blue dress outlining her graceful figure, her skin crystal clear, her face beautiful and charming.

Chu He, tall and handsome, had a natural aura of a superior. He stepped forward and smiled elegantly, saying, "How could I bear to let you come to me, Shen Yue? Naturally, I came to the Ye Clan to wait for you."

Upon hearing Chu He’s address, Ye Shen Yue frowned slightly and said, "Brother Chu, please call me Sister Ye."

"This..."

Chu He’s eyes instantly revealed a dark expression, but he maintained a graceful and calm demeanor, saying, "Alright, Sister Ye, should we go? According to the scouts my father has on the border, they seem to have discovered some traces of the demonic blood sect’s evil beings."

Ye Shen Yue saw the large group of guards and experts behind Chu He and knew that he intended to leave the city and investigate in the wilderness.

She felt it was inappropriate, but considering they were all powerful disciples of the Sword Sect, she nodded and said, "Alright, but I plan to bring my cousin, Ye Feng, with us."

Chu He’s eyes suddenly darkened, and he said, "Bring Ye Feng? He’s only at the First Heaven of the Spirit Martial Realm. He will be a burden to us, and if it causes irreparable damage, Sister Ye, don’t regret it."

"Brother Chu, you don’t need to worry about that."

Ye Shen Yue shook her head and said to Chu He, "We have already seen Ye Feng’s strength yesterday. To be honest, I’m bringing Ye Feng this time because I hope he can join the Sword Sect."

"What?"

Chu He’s face immediately changed.

He didn’t expect that Ye Shen Yue would want to bring Ye Feng directly to the Sword Sect.

This made Chu He instantly feel a cold and ruthless killing intent.

He had personally witnessed Ye Feng’s performance yesterday, where he, at the First Heaven of the Spirit Martial Realm, defeated seven black-clothed men with a single punch. This martial potential was extremely terrifying.

If Ye Feng joined the Sword Sect and shone brightly, what status would Chu He have in Ye Shen Yue’s heart?

"Ye Feng must not join the Sword Sect. I need to find a way to make this kid disappear without anyone knowing."

Chu He thought coldly, but on the surface, he maintained a calm expression.

He said, "Since Sister Ye insists, let’s bring Ye Feng along."

Hearing this, Ye Shen Yue’s eyes lit up, and she said, "Thank you, Brother Chu."

Clearly, Chu He’s status in the sect was higher than Ye Shen Yue’s, and he was the leading figure in this sect mission.

"Let’s find Ye Feng." Ye Shen Yue walked directly toward the center of the Ye Clan.

Chu He, with a dark expression, followed behind her with his subordinates.

When they passed by the central training ground of the Ye Clan, Ye Shen Yue saw a young man in white sitting cross-legged in the training ground, practicing, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Ye Feng is there!"

They had searched for a long time, even going to his residence, but couldn’t find him. It turned out he had been practicing in the training ground early on.

"He seems to be at a critical point in his practice." Ye Shen Yue stopped at a distance and did not approach, not wanting to disturb Ye Feng.

"Hmph, putting on a show." Chu He only smiled coldly.

In his eyes, a small clan like the Ye Clan couldn’t have any powerful legacy worth such intense practice.

However, at this moment, a vast and sea-like aura suddenly rose from Ye Feng’s body.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang..."

At this instant, to everyone’s shock, the long swords they carried began to resonate uncontrollably.

"Impossible!" Seeing his own Chiyang Sword trembling and almost drawing itself out of the scabbard due to Ye Feng’s aura, Chu He was greatly shaken, and his previous contempt instantly vanished.
