We arrived at the bamboo house.
“As you can see, there is only one house, which is mine. Your own dwellings will need to be built by yourselves, and the wood will be the bamboo right here,” Jianjun said.
"Those at the peak of the True Essence Realm, please come with me. This place is for those of lower levels; there's a more suitable place for you over there."
"This is your first task. Until the bamboo house is built, you'll have to make do sleeping outside."
"As for what to do, you can figure it out yourselves. Follow me," he said, leading Li Tianyu and Fang Tong deeper into the area.
"What? We have to build the house ourselves?" The chubby boy could hardly believe his ears; this was the first time he'd ever seen anything like it.
"It's not that simple. Look, although this bamboo looks no different from the ordinary bamboo, there are wisps of spiritual energy flowing on its surface, and it seems that there are other powers hidden inside," Sui Xin explained, which was all clear to Zhi Ming.
No sooner had he finished speaking than he thought of trying it out. He raised his hand, gathered his energy into a sword, and slashed at the bamboo.
A "hum" sound, like the ringing of a sword, rang out, and Sui Xin was flung away.
It felt like being struck by a real sword; the immense recoil traveled up my arm and into my body, a truly unpleasant sensation.
What was even more distressing was that an unknown force seemed to surge into his body, jumping around and causing him to recover after a while.
"Brother, are you alright?" Xi Yun immediately ran over and pulled Sui Xin up to ask.
Lu Cheng, Peng Fei, and the others also gathered around.
“It’s alright,” Sui Xin shook her head, indicating that she shouldn’t worry. Then she looked at the chubby boy and the others and explained, “This bamboo feels exactly like a sword to me. Except that it’s not as sharp as a sword, it seems to have just as much sword intent within it.”
“Yes, just now when you hit the bamboo, I could clearly feel a power coming from the bamboo,” the chubby boy said. “Perhaps it’s because I’ve been with Senior Sword for too long and have been influenced by his powerful sword intent.”
Indeed, as long as the bamboo is attacked, the sword intent contained within it will automatically retaliate. They are relatively weak; Li Tianyu and his group are much stronger, easily drawing blood from their opponents.
The group tried several more times, but they couldn't even get a scratch on the bamboo. Instead, they all complained about the discomfort.
Each person could only manage a few times before they were exhausted. Except for Xi Yun, who didn't try, everyone else was sitting on the ground panting.
"What the hell? There's absolutely no way to fix this," Philon complained, slumping to the ground.
The chubby boy chimed in, "Oh, we're not going to have to live outside forever, are we?"
Just as they were complaining, Xiyun also prepared to give it a try.
We can't keep hiding behind him forever; we need to become stronger too.
Moreover, she was very interested in building a bamboo house of her own, or rather, a bamboo house that belonged to the two of them.
Without thinking further, Xiyun grabbed the bamboo. Instead of bouncing away as she had expected, it seemed as if a force was flowing into her body.
Immediately afterwards, the originally dull sword blade in the dantian gradually lit up, and the surging power was gradually absorbed by the sword blade before returning to its dull state.
That's right, it's the Soul-Separating Sword Intent obtained from Tianxu Mountain, which was originally supposed to gradually dissipate.
However, in the realm of divine understanding, under the nourishment of a large amount of chaotic energy, it seems to gradually materialize, but without the support of energy, it seems to have no effect.
Just now, the sword intent within the bamboo seemed to have helped it somewhat, and the pressure that Xi Yun should have been under was naturally resolved by it.
"Huh? Yun'er, what did you do just now?" Sui Xin had been watching Xi Yun closely, worried that something might happen to her. He had also witnessed what had just happened and was quite curious.
The sword intent that entered Xi Yun's body did not run wild like them, but disappeared instantly, like a stone sinking into the sea.
"I didn't do anything, it seems to have been directly absorbed by my Qi Sea," Xi Yun said, seemingly unaware of what had happened.
Sui Xin's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something. She turned to look at the bamboo forest beside her, and her eyes gradually turned golden.
Suddenly realizing, he said to everyone, "I understand now. It turns out that each bamboo stalk contains only one sword intent. Perhaps as long as I absorb the sword intent, I can cut the bamboo."
After saying that, he raised his hand and chopped at the bamboo that Xiyun had just touched.
Sure enough, as the bamboo leaves fell, the bamboo stalks collapsed.
"Wow, I see!" the chubby boy jumped up and said, "Shall we give it a try?"
"Um"
Apart from Peng Fei, the others were all impatient. After exchanging only a few words, they started trying it out. Seeing this, Peng Fei could only follow suit.
After giving Xiyun a few more instructions, he started.
For a moment, only Xi Yun was left standing to the side, while the others sat down facing a bamboo pole, slowly drawing the sword intent from it into their own bodies.
The sword intent had barely entered the body when it began to wreak havoc, damaging many meridians.
Sui Xin's face paled slightly as she mobilized all her spiritual energy to suppress the sword intent, but the sword intent was like an awl, breaking through the spiritual energy barrier she had set up time and time again.
This is not like the previous slight sword intent entering the body; it may be a thousand times stronger.
As time went on, the spiritual energy was gradually depleted, but the sword intent did not seem to weaken much and remained lively.
The chubby boy and his friends were no exception; their faces were all pale and they were covered in sweat.
Their bodies, unlike Sui Xin's, had not undergone the baptism of the True Phoenix Technique. Neither their meridians nor their resilience could compare to Sui Xin's, and they began to tremble slightly.
Xi Yun stood to the side, and seeing Sui Xin's distress, she instinctively worried, but she didn't go forward to disturb him, so as not to distract him.
She wasn't idle either; she began absorbing sword intent as well. The first few were fine, but the speed seemed to gradually slow down later on. Finally, there was no movement at all, and she was repelled by the bamboo.
