Wen Ping's attempt to break through to Heaven Unrestricted is thwarted when his Earthly Cyan Lotus Body and Changmo Technique greedily devour the energy from Realm-Breaking Pills. The system reveals he must first achieve entry-level Cyan Lotus Sword Intent. Seeking the Cyan Lotus Sword left by Li Bai in the Final Forbidden Area, Wen Ping encounters a powerful Primordial Ape Demon and numerous other demon gods. He narrowly escapes into the Cyan Dragon Cave, which is protected by a restriction only accessible to Cyan Lotus Sword Intent practitioners.

Outside Cyan Dragon Cave, the roaring of the Ancient Demon Ape was incessant.

Under the command of the Ancient Demon Ape, the horde of demons immediately encircled Cyan Dragon Cave at the mountainside, leaving no gaps within ten miles.

The sky.

The earth.

All surrounded like an iron barrel!

Wen Ping was inside Cyan Dragon Cave, unmoved by this. After retrieving his Flying Ship, he proceeded into the cave.

As he ventured deeper, everything Wen Ping saw was blue. The stone walls were blue, and the stone bricks underfoot were also a dark azure.

The focus was not the color, but the abundant blue Wood Qi within Cyan Dragon Cave, which was a hundred times stronger than that of the Immortal Sect.

It’s worth knowing that the Immortal Sect had Jianmu and Immortal Trees, all of which are Divine Woods.

Although they had just begun to grow, the Wood Qi they provided was terrifying; one tree equaled a million acres of forest.

However, it was far inferior to this Cyan Dragon Cave!

A great supplement indeed!

As expected, Wen Ping’s Earthly Cyan Lotus Body sensed this boundless Wood Qi and greedily devoured it.

Wen Ping let it absorb the Wood Qi freely, while he continued forward, releasing his Spiritual Power to perceive the location of the Cyan Lotus Sword.

Suddenly.

Wen Ping sensed something.

Faintly, it seemed like the shadow of a sword.

It stood above a Cyan Pool, surrounded by cyan lotuses that appeared and disappeared like mist.

At that moment, an immense Cyan Lotus Sword Intent surged into Wen Ping’s mind, stunning him completely.

Boom—

Wen Ping’s vision went dark, and he staggered and fell to the ground, only managing to get up groggily after a while but still unable to stand steadily.

"Good heavens, this sword actively attacked me, and the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent it released was so terrifying. I almost died just sensing a tiny bit." Wen Ping thankfully managed a faint smile, "Luckily, I withdrew my Spiritual Power quickly!"

"Immortal Sword!"

"Immortal Sword!"

Wen Ping exclaimed in reflection, further solidifying his determination to acquire the Cyan Lotus Sword.

However, following the path probed by his Spiritual Power, the road ahead suddenly ended.

To be precise, there was another path.

But it was constructed from Suspended Stones, surrounded by the ubiquitous four-leaf Cyan Lotus Sword Intent like the wind.

Wen Ping took a glance at the Trial Stele beside the Suspended Path, which bore an inscription:

First Challenge—the Cyan Lotus Path!

Comprehend the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent, and the Cyan Lotus Sword can be obtained!

Forcing your way through will lead to death!

"My Cyan Lotus Sword Intent has already reached Entry Level, does that mean the Cyan Lotus Sword is at my fingertips as long as I walk this path?" Wen Ping retracted his gaze, a smile emerging at the corner of his mouth. Nevertheless, he carefully took a sword out of his Storage Ring and cautiously approached the Cyan Lotus Path.

As he was about to step onto the first Suspended Stone, countless Cyan Lotus Sword Intents swept over like the wind.

Despite already being at the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted, Wen Ping couldn’t help but feel daunted by the strength of this Sword Intent!

What Entry Level Cyan Lotus Sword Intent is this?

Fraud!

Thinking you can disguise yourself as Entry Level Cyan Lotus Sword Intent with a four-leaf lotus?

The Sword Intent arrived swiftly, and Wen Ping counterattacked, raising his hand to slice with his sword. Alongside the sword, four-leaf lotuses accompanied, and at the moment of collision with the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent on the Cyan Lotus Path, Wen Ping’s Cyan Lotus Sword Intent was instantly shattered.

Compared to the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent on the Cyan Lotus Path, his was as fragile as paper, crumbling upon touch.

Wen Ping retreated quickly, "Forcing through is definitely impossible. Though this Sword Intent does not intend to kill me, it is still too overpowering. One mistake could lead to death by this Sword Intent. Originally, I can only resurrect once."

Since what was written on the Trial Stele was comprehension.

Wen Ping decided to follow the path of insight.

Though both possess the four-leaf Cyan Lotus Sword Intent, why is there such a significant difference?

...

Deep inside the Cyan Pool.

Above the Cyan Pool, a Long Sword accompanied by a myriad of nine-leaf lotuses suddenly trembled and transformed into a human form.

A figure in white robes fluttered in the wind, along with a wine gourd tucked in the bosom, coupled with the extraordinary and refined demeanor—this was none other than the Cyan Lotus Sword Immortal, Li Bai, was it not?

No!

To be precise, it was the Cyan Lotus Sword.

Having followed the Cyan Lotus Sword Immortal for so long, upon advancing to an Immortal Sword, it gained the power of transformation, naturally adopting the likeness of its closest companion.

"The boundless Immortal Path, the Dao is ruthless. I never thought there’d be someone in this world who cultivated the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent; I assumed the master would never teach this again."

The Cyan Lotus Sword murmured a sentence, then gazed afar towards the Cyan Lotus Path, observing Wen Ping as past memories floated through its mind.

He was able to come to Cyan Dragon Cave.

It must certainly be the master’s guidance.

But not just anyone can wield the Cyan Lotus Sword.

To command it, one must prove worthy!

At this Cyan Pool, there was only one challenge, to comprehend the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent.

However, the master had died, and it was unwilling to serve a second master.

The next moment, the Cyan Lotus Sword raised its hand and crafted two more challenges.

Solely to block the way!

But at this moment Wen Ping remained oblivious.

...

Cyan Lotus Path.

Wen Ping stood beside the Suspended Stone, attentively studying the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent within the Cyan Lotus Path.

Time passed little by little.

One day.

Two days.

Three days.

Wen Ping remained motionless, his eyes still fixed on the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent within the Cyan Lotus Path.

As the fourth day arrived, the sword in Wen Ping’s hand suddenly moved.

A Sword Point issued forth!

This was precisely the first sword of the Cyan Lotus Seven Swords taught by Li Bai—Immortal’s Guidance!

Four-leaf Cyan Lotuses flew out first, shaking all the lotuses along the path and leading Wen Ping’s sword forward into the Cyan Lotus Path. At this moment, the sword bore a murderous intent and determination previously absent in his every strike, slicing through the obstacles.
