195: Chapter 195 Consolidating Cultivation and Exploring the Secret Realm, Encountering Fellow Disciples in Danger

After the Breakthrough to the Lianxu Middle Stage, Ye Qing did not rush to leave the barren valley, but instead spent some time thoroughly consolidating his Realm.

He sat cross-legged on a blue stone in the valley, his inner mana surging and flowing like a great river, many times more powerful than before the Breakthrough.

Feeling that power which seemed capable of shattering mountains with a single palm, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

The Lianxu Middle Stage was considered a decent level of cultivation even in the Spirit Realm.

Although there was still a significant gap compared to those old monsters in the Dao Integration Realm, at least in this Sword Ruins Secret Realm, he had more confidence.

He took out the black longsword obtained from Sword Mark Mountain and carefully refined it with his mana to make it more in tune with his mind.

Although this sword was not of the highest grade, its advantage lay in its special material, and the wisp of Nine Nether Qi sealed within the sword body provided a significant bonus for executing the Nine Nether Void-Breaking Sword.

"This sword is quite handy, I will use it for now. When I find better Materials later, I will re-refine it, or simply merge it into the chaos sword to improve the chaos sword's grade."

He put away the black longsword, stood up, and stretched his limbs.

"I have stayed in this valley for several days, it is time to go out and walk around. This Sword Ruins Secret Realm is vast and boundless, I cannot just stay in one place."

His figure flickered, turning into a stream of light as he left the barren valley.

Outside the valley, it was still a gray, desolate plain.

Ancient Sword Intent permeated the air, like invisible tentacles, gently stirring his mind.

He identified the direction and flew towards the area where the Sword Intent was most intense.

After flying for about half an hour, a burst of intense fighting sounds and the roar of mana colliding suddenly came from ahead.

He immediately lowered his flight height, restrained his aura, and like a ghost, quietly sneaked over.

After getting close, he discovered that there were three Cultivators wearing the attire of Heavenly Sword Sect Core Disciples, who were being besieged by a Yao Beast that looked like a giant scorpion, covered in dark red armor with a tail hook flashing with ghostly green light.

That giant scorpion Yao Beast had a powerful aura, having reached the peak of the Lianxu Middle Stage, only one step away from the Late Stage.

The three Heavenly Sword Sect Disciples, the one with the highest cultivation was only at the Lianxu Initial Stage, and the other two were only at Spirit Transformation Consummation, and they were currently struggling and in precarious danger.

"Senior Brother! This 'Nether Poison Scorpion' is too powerful! We cannot hold it off!" A female Cultivator at Spirit Transformation Consummation said, her face pale and her voice trembling slightly.

"Hold on! I have already sent a distress signal, the Seniors from the Sect should arrive soon!" That male Cultivator at the Lianxu Initial Stage, who was leading, said while desperately resisting the poison scorpion's attacks, trying to comfort them.

But his tone also carried a hint of uncertainty.

Ye Qing hid in the shadows, watching this scene, calculating quickly in his heart.

Should he save them, or not?

Based on his past temperament, he would be too lazy to care about such trivial matters.

However, now that he had joined the Heavenly Sword Sect, if he saw them die without helping and the Sect found out later, it would be troublesome.

Moreover, those three looked like they were about to collapse; if he made a move, he could both save people and earn a favor.

"Fine, I will treat it as forming a good connection."

He made up his mind, stopped hiding his figure, took a step, and appeared behind the giant scorpion Yao Beast like a ghost.

He pointed his fingers like a sword and gently tapped at the gap in the giant scorpion Yao Beast's armor.

A condensed-to-the-extreme, nearly transparent Sword Intent erupted from his fingertips and, like a poisonous snake, instantly entered the giant scorpion Yao Beast's body.

The giant scorpion Yao Beast's massive body suddenly stiffened, and then, as if all its strength had been drained, it fell with a crash, twitched a few times, and completely lost its life.

A fist-sized, dark green Yao Beast core, radiating dense fluctuations of poison Law, rolled out from its shattered armor.

The three Heavenly Sword Sect Disciples were all stunned as they looked at this sudden scene.

The looks they directed at Ye Qing were filled with shock and gratitude.
