Lin Qingyu felt the light and shadows flowing before her eyes, and in an instant, she found herself in a sword domain space constructed from thousands of long swords.

She didn't sense any danger, so she closed her eyes and began to use her divine sense to perceive her surroundings. She discovered that these longswords had no physical form, but were constructed from some kind of special energy, and they also emitted a sharp and fierce aura.

Just as they were about to concentrate and examine the swords carefully, the longswords, which were constructed from pure sword intent, suddenly erupted.

Lin Qingyu suddenly opened her eyes, and just as she was about to dodge, she found that her body seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to move at all, and could only watch helplessly as countless long swords pierced towards her.

But the expected pain did not come; instead, countless obsessions and cries of anguish surged into her mind like a tide.

That is the unfinished path and unresolved regrets of generations of sword cultivators, and even more so, their sword intent.

What is sword intent?

Sword intent is the spiritual sharpness that a sword cultivator condenses after integrating their own will, emotions, and sword techniques.

This is why sword cultivators are divided into the ruthless path sword cultivators and the compassionate path sword cultivators.

The ruthless sword cultivators regard the seven emotions and six desires as impurities in the sword path, taking the severing of worldly ties as the foundation, and tempering their will to the extreme.

Those who cultivate the path of emotion in swordsmanship channel their emotions into their swords, transforming love, hate, anger, and infatuation into fuel for their sword intent.

They believe that only through experiencing genuine emotions can the sword intent unleash an unparalleled sharpness in dire straits.

However, there are no absolutes in the path of cultivation. Some people sever their emotions to attain enlightenment, while others forge their swords with their emotions. There are also those who break free from the shackles of entering and forgetting emotions and walk a third path.

Their will was neither bound by emotion nor by reason.

He hones his sword heart amidst endless battles with only his three-foot-long sword, and tempers his sword intent between life and death.

This is the Killing Path Sword Cultivator!

Although these three approaches seem to follow different paths, they ultimately lead to the same goal: to entrust one's swordsmanship to something else in order to hone one's sword intent.

Without a doubt, Lin Qingyu walks the path of killing, and her killing intent is extremely pure.

Not driven by love or hate, nor by worldly attachments, but solely by the desire to protect oneself, one forges a path to immortality that leads to great heights.

The will of the swordsmen around her surged into her mind, trying to drag her onto their respective paths and make her a vessel for their obsessions.

Lin Qingyu's lips suddenly curved into a smile.

Instead of resisting, he opened his mind and allowed the myriad sword intents to enter.

In an instant, countless chaotic thoughts flooded into my mind like a burst dam.

Those unfamiliar emotions transformed into invisible carving knives, leaving deep marks in the depths of her consciousness. The excruciating pain of her soul being torn apart distorted her face.

But in an instant, she clenched her teeth and forced her chaotic mind back on track, letting the pain churn in her mind, but never letting her mind lose its composure.

What is the Sword Domain?

Sword Domain can be considered the ultimate form of "controlling the sword with the mind" in sword cultivation.

It is not simply a matter of accumulating power or mastering techniques, but rather a special realm that arises from the mastery of sword intent, progressing from a single point to a broader area, and then from that area to a more comprehensive one.

This realm requires sword cultivators to have extremely strong mental will; otherwise, before the sword domain is even formed, they will be devoured by the sword intent.

Lin Qingyu had been practicing swordsmanship with Liu Guanzhi for nearly a hundred years, and had already perfected the realm of "enlightenment and sharpness," but she still could not see the existence of the "domain."

Ultimately, it was because her mental fortitude was too fragile to withstand the power of the sword domain.

Most sword cultivators spend a long time honing this skill, and only a very few sword prodigies can shamelessly break through to the next level by relying on the word "sudden enlightenment".

Lin Qingyu, after all, still had a sense of shame, so she came here to use this sword monument to break the mirror.

Although she didn't know why it knew what she was thinking, she decided to make the best of it and focus on overcoming the pressure and getting through this difficult time.

Time passed by, bit by bit.

Perhaps it was only a moment, or perhaps millions of years, but Lin Qingyu's consciousness became increasingly blurred, and she could no longer sense the passage of time. Just as her mind was about to break down.

"Buzz~"

Deep within the inner world, the dormant Dao seed suddenly trembled, bursting forth with a scarlet halo like blood.

The halo moved extremely fast, arriving in Lin Qingyu's sea of ​​consciousness in just a moment. She felt a chill explode from the depths of her soul, as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water over her head, and her mind instantly became extremely clear.

At the same time, that vague, invisible shackle loosened for a moment during the clear day.

"Clatter clatter clatter~"

Immediately afterwards, a series of crisp cracking sounds rang out from the depths of her heart. It was not the collapse of external objects, but the disintegration of shackles, the prelude to the formation of the sword domain.

The next moment, the myriad sword intents quickly faded away, and a powerful sword intent occupied the entire sea of ​​consciousness.

Then the crimson color began to spread, extending from the sea of ​​consciousness into the inner world, and then gradually expanding outward from the inner world.

The moment the sword domain shattered her body, Lin Qingyu still felt a sharp pain in her sea of ​​consciousness, but it vanished in an instant.

Then she gently raised her hand, and the blood-red sword domain instantly enveloped the entire area within a radius of three zhang.

Within this area, Lin Qingyu felt as if he were an emperor who ruled the world, seemingly able to control everything.

Of course, that was just an illusion.

However, within the Sword Domain, the sword cultivator's attacks will be amplified several times over, which is why sword cultivators have the title of number one in killing in the cultivation world.

Aside from the image created by those sword cultivators who went mad from practicing swordsmanship and killed people everywhere, the blessing of the Sword Domain played an indispensable role.

besides...

Lin Qingyu lightly raised her hand, and countless sword lights slowly rose from the sword domain, crisscrossing around her and weaving an impenetrable net of killing intent. Yet, they precisely avoided her body, not even touching a single strand of her hair.

The sword moves at will, and the will follows the heart.

This is the sword's power forming a domain—not controlling the sword with force, but transforming the domain with the mind; it is the perfect state of controlling the sword with the mind.

Lin Qingyu let out a long breath and slowly withdrew her sword domain.

As the blood-red light faded, her face became visibly paler.

This breakthrough did not consume much spiritual or physical energy, but the mental strain it put on was indescribable. Fortunately, the goal was ultimately achieved.

Looking at the sword domain space that had returned to peace, Lin Qingyu bowed to the depths of the space before preparing to leave.

"Sigh~"

Suddenly, a soft sigh sounded in her ear.

Lin Qingyu paused, a slight thought stirring in her heart: Could there be a hidden plot?

"Which sect do you belong to?"

The moment she finished speaking, a phantom figure quietly appeared in front of her.

"Reporting back to the senior, this junior is a direct disciple of the Primordial Sword Court."

Lin Qingyu's eyes flashed, and she spoke without hesitation.

After all, one's identity is self-given when traveling. It is said that Qingfeng Valley is a fragment of a martial arts arena from an ancient sword sect, which dates back to a very long time ago.

It just so happens that the Taichu Sword Court also has a long history and a good reputation.

As for the Heavenly Profound Sword Sect? I'm not too familiar with it either.

In fact, Lin Qingyu wasn't exactly lying. The Tianxuan Sword Sect was a subordinate sect of the Taichu Sword Court. With her Golden Core stage strength, she would be more than qualified to be a disciple there.

"Buzz!"

However, the next moment, Lin Qingyu's expression changed drastically.

Because what responded to her was a sword beam of unparalleled brilliance...
