Chapter 465: Dao Yi Immortal Sword

Ji Chen naturally did not think much, and immediately followed the crowd, quickly rushing towards the direction of the rear mountain.

“Buzz…”

Upon arriving at the rear mountain, one could feel an ominous and terrifying aura pervading the air everywhere.

It seemed as if a terrible ancient creature was sleeping here.

Laws permeated, and the power of the Dao enveloped the entire rear mountain, causing everyone who stepped into this place to breathe heavily.

Soon, they arrived in front of a cliff.

Ji Chen looked ahead and found that there were already many cultivators who had arrived here before them, all gathered around the cliff side.

The cliff had two sides separated by dozens of meters, with only a dilapidated wooden bridge connecting them, as if it might break at any time, sending one plummeting into the valley.

The valley was very deep, with heavy fog shrouding it, making it impossible to see the bottom.

Within the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range, although they had cultivation, the forbidden power hindered everyone’s aerial ability. If they truly fell from this cliff to the valley bottom, they would most likely be smashed to pieces on the spot.

“What a terrifying Sword Dao aura, right across the cliff!”

Many of the cultivators who came here could clearly feel the strength of that aura.

Their eyes all turned towards the opposite cliff, where there was a stone platform about half the height of a person built there.

On the stone platform, rays of dazzling light emanated, and upon closer inspection, one could see that within the light was a sword.

“Dao Yi Immortal Sword!”

Someone exclaimed in surprise and immediately could not help but move, trying to step onto the wooden bridge and walk to the other side to take the Immortal Sword.

“Buzz!”

But soon they found that, in front of the wooden bridge, there was a special force blocking everyone’s progress.

Those who wanted to seize the opportunity and rush onto the wooden bridge were now being forcibly repelled by this force.

Some of the weaker cultivators were directly shaken into coughing blood by this force, their faces turning pale on the spot.

“What’s going on?”

Such a scene immediately caused the others present to furrow their brows, a serious expression appearing on their faces.

“It’s the Great Dao forbidden power!”

After inspection, someone soon came to this conclusion.

It turned out that at the front of that wooden bridge, there was actually a Great Dao forbidden power isolating it.

This Great Dao forbidden power is invisible and colorless, impossible to see with the naked eye, and can only be detected through special means.

“What should be done?”

In an instant, everyone’s brows furrowed even tighter.

The Dao Yi Immortal Sword was right in front of them, yet unreachable, and they naturally felt very unwilling.

“The Dao Yi Sword Sect has been extinct for so many years? This Great Dao forbidden power must have weakened significantly over time, try to force your way through!”

A middle-aged man spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately took the lead to step forward.

The middle-aged man’s strength was not weak, at least it had reached the Reincarnation Realm Sixth Layer.

“Bang!”

However, just as he walked up to the Great Dao forbidden power, taking merely the first step, he was directly repelled back by a terrifying force, causing him to cough blood on the spot, and his body was shaken back eighteen steps before he could stabilize.

“Such strong power!”

The middle-aged man frowned, his expression extremely serious.

After experiencing it personally, he knew clearly how extraordinary this Great Dao forbidden power was. Even with his Reincarnation Realm Sixth Layer strength, if he tried to force his way through, he would be erased into ashes by the Great Dao forbidden power within the wooden bridge!

“Let me try!”

A young man from an ancient family stepped out.

“Buzz!”

His cultivation was two small realms lower than the middle-aged man from before.

But in full view, it was seen that this young man managed to take three steps on the wooden bridge before being repelled.

“This Great Dao forbidden power is somewhat special; whether you can cross it likely has little relationship with the strength of your cultivation, and may be related to talents or something similar,” an old man said.

“It might also have a connection with the depth of one’s Sword Dao proficiency.”

A sword cultivator with a hanging sword at his waist stepped out, his eyes shining sharply, and then strode towards the wooden bridge.

As expected, just as he speculated, the Great Dao forbidden power here seemed clearly weaker against sword cultivators.

This sword cultivator’s strength had only just reached the Reincarnation Realm First Layer, but due to his comprehension of the Sword Law, he was able to walk as many as five steps on the wooden bridge.

Although he still could not reach the opposite side of the bridge, this showed everyone that to overcome the Great Dao forbidden power here and reach the other side of the wooden bridge to take the Dao Yi Immortal Sword, only sword cultivators might be able to do it.

“Buzz!”

While everyone was thinking this, an elder also stood out.

He directly unleashed his comprehended Sword Law to the extreme and strode forward onto the wooden bridge.

Unfortunately, he still couldn’t succeed.

After eight steps, the elder was repelled back by the Great Dao forbidden power.

“Buzz!”

Next, many present who had insights into the Sword Dao tried one by one.

Some managed just a few steps, while others walked nearly twenty steps.

But without exception, none of them could reach the bridge’s opposite side.

The bridge was dilapidated and swaying constantly; to cross it smoothly, one would need at least two to three hundred steps.

After all the sword cultivators attempted, the best result was only a mere twenty or thirty steps, accounting for only a tenth of the bridge’s length.

To reach the other side of the bridge was still a far stretch away.

“Is this all we can do?”

Many felt unwillingness in their hearts, all furrowing their brows.

Gazing at the Dao Yi Immortal Sword at the bridge’s end, it was tantalizingly out of reach.

“Buzz!”

Yet at this moment, a fierce Sword Dao aura suddenly enveloped the scene.

Everyone was taken by surprise, their eyes reflexively turning to look.

They then saw a youth dressed in white, walking slowly onto the wooden bridge.

The youth was none other than Ji Chen!

“This power…”

“Not a simple Sword Law; it’s the Great Dao Sword Intent!”

“Who is he? To have comprehended the Great Dao Sword Intent!”

Many were shocked, especially the sword cultivators present, whose faces all showed astonishment.

They, who had long accompanied the sword, knew better than anyone what a rare power the Great Dao Sword Intent was.

It was too ethereal, and comprehending it required not only extremely high Sword Dao talent but more importantly, that elusive chance.

Once the chance arises, it naturally becomes comprehended.
