The three days of waiting were worth it!
Compared to the previous Lingzhi Seeds, the Sword Nurturing Gourd produced by the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion's concentrated treasure aura and luck was of far higher quality.
The effect of Sword Nurturing alone, if made public, would likely drive countless Sword Dao cultivators crazy—
for enhancing the sharpness of the Sword Dao was extremely rare.
Even more exciting was the gourd's second effect, Hidden Edge, which could nurture new traits on sword weapons!
Though the chance was extremely low, it was enough to attract many Sword Dao practitioners.
For sword cultivators, it would be no exaggeration to say "the sword is their life."
Lin Yang couldn't help but feel lucky.
He wondered if this was due to the slight luck boost from consuming the Fortune Golden Lotus.
Although leveling up the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion increased the chance of obtaining high-quality items, luck still played a critical role.
Even if someone had the Pavilion at level 3 or 4, without luck, they might never obtain a Sword Nurturing Gourd.
And naturally, there was no doubt whom this item belonged to.
Inside a room, Ling Yue lay on the bed, her silky hair cascading like a waterfall, her bright eyes closed like an ethereal fairy untouched by the mundane world.
The moment Lin Yang entered, Ling Yue's eyelashes fluttered, and she awakened.
"Lord Sir."
"No need to get up. If you want to rest, rest some more. Even if the outside monsters' strength doubled, they wouldn't threaten the Territory!"
"Here, a gift for you."
Lin Yang handed over the Sword Nurturing Gourd.
"Thank you, my Lord!"
Ling Yue smiled playfully, their relationship no longer distant as before, revealing her cute and charming side in his presence.
"Ah, this is... a Sword Nurturing Gourd!"
Holding the item, she exclaimed.
"Is this... a gift from you?"
"Of course! I told you, it's a gift!"
"Thank you very much, Lord Sir!"
Without hesitation, she put her companion spirit sword into the gourd.
Given her strength now, she rarely needed to use the sword's physical body against enemies; sword Qi and sword lights sufficed.
And she could still communicate with the sword even while it was inside the gourd.
"This is the gift you gave me..."
After Lin Yang left, Ling Yue held the gourd tightly, blushing faintly as thoughts ran through her mind.
Twelve hours later, the second wave of monster attacks began.
For Lin Yang's now powerful forces, it was barely a ripple.
He even disabled all Defense Towers' auto-attack functions, to prevent splitting experience gains.
But the third and fourth waves arrived with increased monster levels and numbers.
Elite monsters and even boss monsters appeared more frequently.
Monsters surrounded the Territory from all sides.
Though strong, the Demon-Suppression Warriors and Shadow Archers were limited in number and couldn't cover every direction.
At this moment, legendary heroes Ling Yue and Zhao Meng showed their true power!
Ling Yue's fingers danced like plucking strings, and her terrifying Peerless Sword Formation sprang up.
Slice, slice, slice—sword Qi rained down like a torrential storm.
All monsters caught inside the formation, regardless of level, collapsed instantly.
No matter how ferocious the monsters' reckless assaults, they could never break through.
The Peerless Sword Formation was like a grand fortress spanning heaven and earth, blocking all monsters in the area.
Compared to Ling Yue's finesse, Zhao Meng was straightforward and brutal.
Channeling Innate Energy Qi, her entire body shone like a golden deity.
Relying on her enormous Four Attributes, the Qi Shield generated by Innate Energy Qi, and her Transcendent Physique's terrifying defense and recovery, she charged through the monster horde like a force of nature.
Her Soul-Captivating Fist left no monster alive, even powerful bosses couldn't withstand her for long.
Thus, as time passed, two days flew by in battle.
Just past midnight on the fifth day, the black mist surrounding Lin Yang's Territory suddenly doubled in size, darkening the sky as if about to cover it entirely.
Only one day remained before the challenge's success deadline.
Lin Yang decided not to rest.
But seeing a massive flood of monsters emerge from the mist, he was shaken.
All were level 15 elite monsters, none were ordinary monsters.
What shocked him even more were the various buff auras on the monsters—
Defense Aura, Strength Aura, Life Aura…
These elite monsters, already far stronger than normal ones, were made even more powerful by these auras.
"Leader monster's skill effects?"
Seeing the aura info, Lin Yang understood.
The strongest monsters he had faced before were likely the underling Demonic General Carlos, roughly equivalent to a leader monster.
But that was just "roughly."
This time, he was going to face such foes head-on!
