Chapter 352: A Frog in a Well

This illusion truly has a significant effect on Ling Wanqing, but it also stimulates a person's potential.

In reality, the vast majority of people would fall to this move, but there is always a small minority that is different, and Ling Wanqing is clearly the latter.

Su Yu watched Ling Wanqing's final Sword Drawing Technique below; he hadn't expected Wanqing to use this move in the end—the very Sword Drawing Technique he had taught her back then.

Now, in the hands of Ling Wanqing in this state, this move had become extremely formidable, and Yun Nan had already been pinned down by Ling Wanqing.

Relying on Yun Nan's own strength, he would be unable to withstand this strike.

But Su Yu still had to intervene; after all, it was he who had asked Yun Nan to come here.

Yun Nan began to break into a cold sweat, silently thinking to himself, "Brother Wang, you must hold on! Otherwise, I am going to meet my end here today. If I had known, I wouldn't have used this move."

At this moment, Ling Wanqing locked her gaze onto Yun Nan, discarding all other distracting thoughts in her mind.

Instantly, the phenomena of the Sword Drawing Technique began to manifest. This time, the phenomena covered the entire Secret Realm, which was now shrouded in dark clouds.

It was as if an apocalyptic catastrophe had arrived.

The Aura on Ling Wanqing's body was also constantly climbing, gradually reaching its peak. Her Sword Intent crisscrossed, slashing directly at the heavens.

Watching the scene before him, Yun Nan grew increasingly alarmed. Apart from Brother Wang, there was such a formidable existence in the Southern Region; it seemed he had truly been a frog in a well.

Ling Wanqing's sword momentum reached its peak. At that moment, Ling Wanqing moved, as if she were driving the entire world along with her.

A Sword Intent that froze and annihilated everything rushed toward Yun Nan. Looking at this attack, Yun Nan thought, "Hurry and make a move, Brother Wang! I can't hold on!"

Seeing this, Su Yu knew it was time for him to intervene.

At the very instant the attack was about to hit Yun Nan, Su Yu took out a Puppet and swapped Yun Nan out.

Yun Nan watched as the scene before him changed.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but he still couldn't quite recover.

A moment later, he said, "Brother Wang, if you had been even a second later, you wouldn't be seeing me anymore."

Su Yu looked at Yun Nan. "You made her see the scene she least wanted to see, and she used that to see through your illusion."

Yun Nan understood the result. "I didn't expect her to be able to increase her strength even further."

Su Yu looked towards Ling Wanqing. "There is still much you don't know."

Su Yu knew that Ling Wanqing's abilities went even further than this.

"Your task is complete. I owe you a favor."

Ling Wanqing looked at the Yao Beast gradually disappearing before her. "Has it finally been resolved?"

Ling Wanqing retracted her long sword and discovered that the Yao Beast had not left anything behind.

But it didn't matter; as long as those two items were obtained, it was fine.

Ling Wanqing thought of the scene in the illusion. She would never let such a thing happen. At this moment, her gaze was resolute.

Afterward, Ling Wanqing prepared to leave the Secret Realm. Now, she only wanted to see Su Yu; everything else was irrelevant.

After Su Yu saw Ling Wanqing leave.

"Alright, it's about time we left too. You go back to your Cloud Sea Forest, and I'm leaving as well."

Yun Nan nodded. "Don't call me for this kind of activity next time; my heart can't take it."

As he spoke, Yun Nan disappeared from the spot.

Back in the Cloud Sea Forest, Yun Nan's mood finally calmed down.

"Finally back. That was truly terrifying. In the future, I should stay away from that kind of woman, even if she looks ordinary."

Seeing this, Su Yu also returned to the courtyard to wait for Ling Wanqing's arrival. Before long, Ling Wanqing returned to the courtyard.

The moment Ling Wanqing saw Su Yu, she smiled.

Without a word, she threw herself into Su Yu's embrace.

Su Yu held Ling Wanqing, knowing about that scene in Yun Nan's illusion.

He really shouldn't have done that.

For a while, Ling Wanqing didn't say anything, just quietly holding Su Yu.

Su Yu also didn't ask anything.

After some time, Ling Wanqing finally pushed Su Yu away.

Su Yu then asked, "Did something happen?"

Ling Wanqing looked at Su Yu and touched his face. "Nothing, I just had a nightmare some time ago."

Su Yu smiled. "It's fine, I will always be by your side."

Ling Wanqing nodded. "Mm, I know."

Su Yu looked at Ling Wanqing. "Quite a few things have happened recently. I heard that the Water Spirit Body from the Celestial Maiden Sect has also reached the Void Refinement Stage."

"It's already starting to spread throughout the Southern Region."

Ling Wanqing nodded and said, "I know about this; I've also heard others talking about it."

A few days later, in her room, Ling Wanqing looked at the two items before her.

Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin. If she carefully comprehended this sword technique, her strength would become even greater. This would also give her an extremely powerful trump card, added to the Sword Intent on the ice crystal.

Ling Wanqing then entered a state of Cultivation.

Just like that, in the blink of an eye, ten years passed.

At this moment, Ling Wanqing was standing in the sky above an uninhabited area.

Phantoms of ten thousand swords rose around her. Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin was truly formidable.

Over these ten years, she had already mastered a portion of Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin.

Only now did she understand even more clearly how formidable this Cultivation Technique was.

The enhancement this Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin provided her was extremely powerful, even greater than she had anticipated.

Su Yu watched the scene. Of course it was powerful; that was an ultimate move he had created by condensing thousands of Sword Intents.

He hadn't even had the chance to use it many times himself.

Ling Wanqing retracted her Aura. This was still the result of her restraining her energy; otherwise, that scene would definitely have been noticed by others.

Her Sword Dao Realm had also improved significantly, but there was still some distance to the next Realm.

Sword Domain: World Manifestation, is it? It won't be too long.

Ling Wanqing returned to the courtyard.

She saw Su Yu practicing sword moves. Ling Wanqing sat down, saw the tea Su Yu hadn't finished, picked it up, and drank while watching.

Ling Wanqing had seen this many times, and each time she felt it was full of Concept.

Su Yu retracted his sword. "You're back."

"Mm."

Ling Wanqing looked at Su Yu. Although ten years had passed, it was still very difficult for Su Yu to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Ling Wanqing knew that Su Yu only had a Three Spiritual Root, although his Comprehension Ability was decent.

However, the Nascent Soul Stage was a threshold for Su Yu. With Su Yu's Aptitude, it was very difficult to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage.

But she would help Su Yu, and in these ten years, with her help, Su Yu's progress speed had increased quite a bit.

She would also teach Su Yu some seemingly ordinary sword moves.

Su Yu's learning and understanding speed was actually faster than she had anticipated, which was good.

But Ling Wanqing wanted Su Yu to master Sword Intent as well.

After all, for a Sword Cultivator, having or not having Sword Intent meant they were simply not on the same level.

But this still depended on Su Yu's Comprehension Ability.

Thinking of this, Ling Wanqing decided she should find an opportunity to impart some of her own Sword Intent to Su Yu and see if he could gain some insight.
