Chapter 56: New Ability-Will Conversion
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
[Tianqin Sword]
[Sword Intent: LV30 (0/30000)]
[Sword Techniques: Starfire (Lv. 30), Sword Control (Lv. 30), Shapeless Spider
Web (Lv. 30), Body TemperingAstral Wind (Lv. 30)]
[Will of All Beings: 228]
[Range: Tianfeng Prefecture ]
[Will Conversion: Consumes a wisp of the Will of All Beings to increase Sword Intent proficiency by 100 points.]
Su Yang opened the panel and was pleasantly surprised to see the new function at the bottom. The function was not bad, but the ratio needed to be considered. If it’s unnecessary, this function is basically not needed, unless he had an endless amount of Will of All Beings.
The next step was to eliminate the Evil Blood Cultivation Sect rogue cultivators, as it was certain they would obtain more Will of All Beings from them. The only uncertainty was how much he could acquire.
Although the Will of All Beings could be converted, his current possession of only 228 strands was insufficient to level up at the moment.
Obtaining Will of All Beings had its conditions, so unless necessary, Su Yang focused on improving his proficiency by wielding his sword.
With his current efforts, swinging the sword 30,000 times a day was not a problem. As he continuously tempered his body with the Body Tempering Astral Wind technique, his physical strength would grow stronger, and his sword speed would increase.
If there were an abundance of Will of All Beings, he could store it for future use. Perhaps there would be new changes ahead.
Moreover, it could serve as a trump card. When he needed a sword technique, he could create one, and when he needed to level up, he could directly increase his level. It was akin to storing experience points.
In an instant, Su Yang’s desire to obtain more Will of All Beings grew stronger.
There was another point to consider—the coverage range had increased. Now, it could encompass the entire Tianfeng Prefecture.
Was this change due to his level increase? Su Yang was not entirely sure, but he didn’t believe it was the sole reason.
In the past, an increase in official positions granted more control over the panel, but Su Yang believed that the panel’s capabilities could not be limited by a single position in Huangshan City.
Did that mean he had to be an official for the rest of his life? Or perhaps he could become the emperor?
Therefore, Su Yang had been paying attention to changes in the coverage range.
Today, a new change finally occurred.
Based on the currently known information, there were two possible reasons for the panel’s change.
First, level advancement.
Second, an increase in reputation.
The first reason required no further explanation. Regarding reputation, Su Yang’s name had spread throughout Tianfeng Prefecture due to his recent suppression of the Golden Blade Sect and the Moon Chasing Pavilion.
The reasons behind his conflict with these two sects had also been revealed: he did it solely for the sake of the common people.
Indeed, based on the circumstances at the time, Su Yang’s actions were solely for the benefit of the common people.
Within a short period, Su Yang’s strength and deeds became widely known. Not only among the martial artists but also among the common people.
Tianfeng Prefecture now had an official who truly cared about the people!
During the three days, Su Yang practiced his sword skills at home, but that didn’t mean he was unaware of what was happening.
As for which of the two reasons caused the change, he would naturally find out in due time.
No need to dwell on it.
Su Yang once again used the panel’s perspective to observe the world.
Indeed, he could directly see the sky over Tianfeng Prefecture.
Not limited to just the Four-Direction Inspector, the coverage extended to the entire prefecture, and the sky was shrouded in white gas.
Furthermore, several tasks appeared, with the most significant one being to resolve the crisis caused by the Evil Blood Cultivation Sect. [Task: Resolve the Crisis of the Evil Blood Cultivation Sect]
[Level: IV25]
[Requirements: Make the Evil Blood Cultivation Sect disappear from Tianfeng
Prefecture]
[Reward: 500-1500 wisps of Will of All Beings]
This task was the highest-level quest Su Yang had encountered thus far. His strength had reached the self-set goal, and it was time for him to venture outside.
“Baiduan Mountains…” Su Yang murmured, gazing into the distance. “Old Gu, let’s go. It’s time for a journey.”
“As the Sword Master commands,” Gu Xiu replied. He was not merely interested in observing sword intent. Over these past few days, he had been completely convinced of Su Yang’s abilities. Su Yang’s demonstrated strength and potential were beyond his comprehension.
Su Yang stepped into the void, and before he touched the ground, an ethereal longsword caught his right foot. Step by step, he ascended the ethereal longsword as if climbing stairs, with his left foot stepping on it.
Flying with the sword, they soared into the air!
Gu Xiu couldn’t match Su Yang’s gracefulness, but he could also fly with a sword. However, he needed a real sword.
Drawing the sword from his waist, Gu Xiu stepped on its blade and controlled it with his Qi, soaring into the air to follow Su Yang.
The two flew out of the courtyard, traversing the sky as they headed toward the Baiduan Mountains.
“Lord Su… Could he be a mortal sword immortal?”
In the sky, the two moved swiftly, but Su Yang didn’t exert his full power.
He felt that he was only using less than ten percent of his Sword Intent, and Gu Xiu was already struggling to keep up.
“Old Gu, it seems your Grandmaster-level strength is a bit weak. When will you break through to the Great Grandmaster level?” Su Yang remarked with a smile from above.
Gu Xiu:
If someone else had made that comment, Gu Xiu would have surely taken the opportunity to educate them.
“Sword Master, I may be a bit weaker, but I have no problem assisting you with small tasks.”
“As for reaching the Great Grandmaster level… without any pressure, it might still take some time.”
Gu Xiu felt a little embarrassed. Was his Grandmaster-level strength really that weak?
Well… it depended on whom he was comparing himself to.
“By the way, Old Gu, what realm is above the Celestial Realm?” Su Yang inquired.
“In response to the Sword Master, it is the Heaven Transforming Realm. Those powerhouses already possess the ability to alter the heavens.”
In just fifteen minutes, the two, riding their flying swords, arrived at the outskirts of the Bai Duan Mountains.
Three thousand Wind Wolf troops were stationed at various entrances and exits.
Yi Tianba, the Four-Direction Inspector, was in command.
The Four Great Sects, minor sects, the Martial Suppression Division, and martial cultivators had all entered the mountains.
Within the mountains, sounds of intense battles occasionally echoed.
Yi Tianba gazed at the sky. When he saw Su Yang and another person approaching on their swords, his eyes sparkled.
Could that old man be Su Yang’s master?
And had Su Yang’s strength already surpassed the Grandmaster level?
Then what level was his master?
Su Yang descended from the sky. “Greetings, Lord Yi.”
Yi Tianba nodded and turned his attention to Gu Xiu. “Hmm, and who is this?” Gu Xiu smiled. “I am Gu Xiu, an elder of the Outer Sect of the Sky Sword Sect.”
Yi Tianba’s eyes widened. The Sky Sword Sect was a top-tier sword sect in
Daxia.
No wonder they could cultivate such a genius like Su Yang.
“Ah, so you’re an elder from the Sky Sword Sect. My apologies for any disrespect, ” Yi Tianba said politely before turning his gaze to Su Yang.
“Seeing you arrive on a flying sword, could it be that you’ve already become a Grandmaster?” Gu Xiu’s expression turned somewhat strange as he recalled Su Yang’s recent growth in power.
A Grandmaster?
Just a few days ago, Su Yang’s maximum level as a Grandmaster was surpassed. Even feeling Su Yang’s aura made Gu Xiu’s body go cold.
Perhaps Su Yang had transcended into a celestial being, Gu Xiu deeply suspected.
There were rumors among cultivators that they had the opportunity for reincarnation and cultivation. Su Yang might be one such case. Otherwise, his power wouldn’t have grown so rapidly.
“Well… I suppose so,” Su Yang admitted without further explanation. There was no need to prove his strength.
Once the other party witnessed it, they would understand.
“Excellent!” Yi Tianba felt a surge of excitement.
A Grandmaster! A nineteen-year-old Grandmaster!
What did that mean? Even in the capital, such talent was first-class!
Most importantly, Yi Tianba understood Su Yang’s background and his rapid growth, possibly due to the Sky Sword Sect.
But the key was Su Yang’s character.
He regarded himself as inferior when it came to treating the common people with integrity and protecting them. Such an upright person, a defender of the people, would bring great fortune to Daxia as he continued to grow.
“Lord Yi, I would like to understand the current situation,” Su Yang asked, opening the conversation.
“Now that I’ve also broken through in strength, it’s time to find some Evil
Blood Cultivation Sect’s cultivators to test my skills..”
