 Chapter 3171: You're Still a Bit Inferior to That Person

As they got closer, waves of sword qi came crashing down like the sky was falling.

The sword qi wasn't very strong. What was truly difficult to deal with was the test of one's dao heart.

When there were only 500 li left, Su Ze had already reached his limit and couldn't bear it anymore.

Illusions sprang up before his eyes. The world he saw became more and more unreal. Su Ze began to have difficulty distinguishing truth from falsehood.

"Mr. Lin, I can't go on. I can only send you this far." After struggling to advance a few more li, Su Ze finally couldn't hold on any longer.

When blocking the sword qi, his dao heart was severely impacted. Countless illusions rushed in, disturbing his mind.

If he continued forward, he feared he would go mad.

Lin Moyu said, "Then stay here. Use this sword to temper your dao heart. I see quite a few of your clansmen ahead, all tempering their dao hearts. You can't fall behind."

After saying this, Lin Moyu flew alone towards the Fox Tail Sword.

Strangely, no sword qi attacked him along the way.

He had the Jade Dao sword qi planted in his body. The seventy-two swords shared the same origin. The Jade Dao sword spirit had said before that gaining its recognition was equivalent to gaining recognition from the other seventy-one swords.

Now it seemed this was indeed the case.

But even if it wasn't so, Lin Moyu wouldn't care much.

With his dao heart, blocking sword qi of this level wasn't difficult.

Along the way, there were also many Celestial Fox clan members using the sword qi to temper their dao hearts. Their realms were all above fourth-level Dao Venerable.

The Fox Tail Sword's tempering of the dao heart surpassed the Jade Dao Sword. From a thousand li away, it was already within range of its sword qi.

The sword qi struck directly at the soul, unavoidable.

Starting at Dao Venerable level already surpassed the Jade Dao Sword.

The closer one got, the higher the requirement for the dao heart.

Su Ze was formerly a collateral branch disciple. On his cultivation path, he only focused on realm and cultivation, neglecting his dao heart. So he stopped at 500 li.

Instead, those Celestial Fox clan members who paid attention to their dao hearts, though their cultivation realms weren't as high as Su Ze's, could go further.

The dao heart was one of the foundations, extremely important and couldn't be neglected.

One could imagine that Su Ze would need to spend a lot of time tempering his dao heart.

Lin Moyu flew leisurely towards the Fox Tail Sword, muttering to himself, "This sword is of a very high level."

"If the seventy-two swords are seen as a formation, then these swords are each a formation node."

"Among the formation eyes, there are main ones and secondary ones. The Jade Dao Sword's node is secondary, while the Fox Tail Sword's node is main."

"That senior actually set up steps for everyone, starting from the simplest, climbing step by step."

"With the dao heart in place, cultivation and such will naturally follow. It's just a matter of time."

Lin Moyu's appearance attracted quite a bit of attention.

While others were constantly enduring the bombardment of sword qi, Lin Moyu moved as if in a place without people. The sword qi simply didn't target him.

For a moment, the Celestial Fox clan members were bewildered, completely unable to understand.

"What's going on with this person? Why isn't the sword qi attacking him!"

"Yeah, why isn't the sword qi attacking him? Could it be because he's human?"

"Impossible. It's not like humans haven't come before. The Fox Tail Sword attacked them all the same."

"This person's luck is so strong."

"Indeed, his luck has transformed into a dragon. He must be a genius even among humans."

"If not here, I'd really like to go over and make friends with him."

The Celestial Fox clan was after all still part of the beast races, retaining some beast race characteristics.

Once they started talking freely, there were no reservations. They spoke loudly and ate heartily.

In Lin Moyu's eyes, the Celestial Fox clan was already smart enough.

After all, beast races that knew to temper their dao hearts weren't many.

Most beast races only focused on cultivation realm, not paying much attention to things like the dao heart.

Lin Moyu continued to approach, advancing another 200 li.

Within 300 li of the Fox Tail Sword, fewer and fewer people could remain. Only a handful were left.

Lin Moyu swept his gaze over them. The highest realm among them was an eighth-level Dao Venerable. The rest were all seventh-level Dao Venerables.

Although the dao heart wasn't directly related to realm, generally speaking, those with higher realms would have stronger dao hearts.

Those with rich life and death experiences would also have stronger dao hearts.

Here, Lin Moyu still wasn't attacked by sword qi.

Lin Moyu remained relaxed and at ease, continuing to fly forward.

Behind him, the Celestial Fox clan members were already dumbfounded. What was happening to Lin Moyu was simply too miraculous.

When Lin Moyu approached within 100 li again, even that eighth-level Dao Venerable Celestial Fox clan member couldn't help but look over.

Lin Moyu sensed the other's gaze, turned his head to give a slight smile, then continued forward.

Finally, Lin Moyu came to a place only 100 li from the Fox Tail Sword.

At this time, those Celestial Fox clan members watching Lin Moyu exploded into discussion again.

"Heavens, he's reached 100 li!"

"If I remember correctly, our clan's highest record is 100 li. He's about to break our clan's record!"

"I think he's not normal. The sword qi didn't attack him at all. Does he have some treasure that can fool the Fox Tail Sword?"

"Impossible. I've never heard of any treasure that can fool the Fox Tail Sword."

Amid their discussions, Lin Moyu walked into the 100 li zone, thoroughly breaking the Celestial Fox clan's record.

The 100 li area where the Fox Tail Sword was located seemed like another world. Myriad sword qi fell from the sky like waterfalls, evolving into a world belonging solely to sword qi.

The vast sword qi obscured everything. After entering here, Lin Moyu disappeared from everyone's sight.

"You've come!"

A voice suddenly sounded.

Lin Moyu looked up. Above the Fox Tail Sword, a swordsman appeared in mid-air.

Lin Moyu saw through his identity at a glance, "Human Lin Moyu greets the Fox Tail Sword spirit. Senior Sword Spirit, you know of me?"

The other was the Fox Tail Sword's spirit, but this sword spirit seemed somewhat different from the Jade Dao Sword's spirit.

This sword spirit must have existed for countless years. His eyes flashed with the light of wisdom, as if seeing through the entire world.

The Fox Tail Sword spirit said softly, "The Jade Dao Sword spirit once told me you gained its recognition."

Lin Moyu smiled, "Just good luck."

The Fox Tail Sword spirit shook his head, "No. The Jade Dao Sword spirit said that in your memories, there's an extremely terrifying figure. That figure is even more terrifying than our creator."

Lin Moyu knew who the other was talking about. Back then, his memories were drawn out by the Jade Dao Sword, even attracting the attention of a strand of the green-robed elder's divine sense, nearly causing the entire Jade Sword City to collapse.

Even the Jade Dao Sword's body developed countless cracks.

At that time, the Jade Dao Sword spirit was frightened badly. The Jade Dao Sword almost shattered on the spot.

Listening to the Fox Tail Sword's words, Lin Moyu realized that the seventy-two swords could communicate with each other. This also confirmed his guess that the seventy-two swords formed a formation covering the entire Origin Continent.

Then many things happening on the Origin Continent would be known to these sword spirits.

No wonder this sword spirit looked so mature. He clearly knew many important things.

Lin Moyu asked, "So, Senior Sword Spirit didn't test my dao heart this time?"

The Fox Tail Sword spirit said, "You've already gained the Jade Dao Sword's recognition, so I don't need to test you again. Our master once said that in the future, someone might become our new master."

"You might be one of them, but in my view, you're still a bit inferior to that person."
