Chapter 31 - The transformation of sword species, 20% sword intent, mysterious jade

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As far as the eye could see, terrifying killing sword qi filled the air.

Sword intent whistled horizontally, intertwining with sword energy, creating an atmosphere of pure terror.

In such a setting, the endless mysteries of sword intent flowed into Gu Xuan's mind like a rushing river.

He quickly became immersed, eagerly absorbing the essence of the true meaning of kendo imprinted on the stone tablet.

Time flew by.

Gu Xuan's comprehension and understanding of sword intent increased day by day.

At the same time, a faint jingling sound began to resonate from his body.

It started as a soft chime, but as time passed, the sound grew louder.

At this moment, if anyone had been present, they would have clearly perceived that Gu Xuan was no longer just a person; he resembled a peerless sword, slowly being unsheathed, revealing its edge!

Undoubtedly, when this divine sword was fully unsheathed, it would shake the world.

As predicted, a clang echoed through the air!

With the sound of the sword cry reaching a peak, Gu Xuan's body erupted with a wild arrogance, as if he could sever everything with his unparalleled sword intent.

The Sword Intent seeds in his dantian exploded, transforming into a dazzling and razor-sharp sword intent that surged through his limbs like a raging torrent.

Every muscle and every inch of bone in his body crackled violently!

Like flowers blooming and bearing fruit, it came naturally.

"Buzz!"

In that moment, Gu Xuan felt his soul tremble. The blood and energy within him seemed to gain attributes, suddenly becoming fierce and powerful.

He awoke with a start and turned around.

When he opened his eyes, he saw infinite sword energy swirling around him, intertwined with the essence of life and death.

Brilliant, bright, and dazzling to the extreme!

After a long while, the overwhelming energy gradually faded and disappeared.

"The transformation of the sword seed; the sword intent is now at 20%!" Gu Xuan sighed in relief, joy shining in his eyes.

Originally, his body housed only the seed of sword intent, which was merely a prototype.

But after comprehending the true meaning of kendo from this stone tablet, he had gained unparalleled insight from Hunyuan Daoyi, successfully nurturing the sword seed and transforming it into genuine sword meaning!

He had also directly comprehended it into 20% sword intent!

Now, whenever he wielded a sword in the future, he could create a field of sword intent around himself. Any martial artist who was not highly skilled with a sword would find it nearly impossible to draw their weapon in his presence.

This was the true dominance of sword intent!

It could be said that after entering the realm of sword intent, Gu Xuan's strength had undergone earth-shaking changes.

If he faced his former self at this moment, he could easily defeat him with a single strike!

"No wonder understanding the mood allows one to fight above their level!"

"The true meaning of martial arts is indeed terrifying!" Gu Xuan mused.

After sorting out his thoughts, he looked back at the stone tablet.

He found that the true meaning of kendo that had once been branded upon it had vanished, and the stone tablet itself had become an ordinary rock, devoid of any remarkable qualities.

"It's time to search for the next opportunity!"

With a final glance, Gu Xuan exited the cave.

As he stepped outside, he found it was early morning.

The Golden Crow was rising in the distance.

Standing atop the cliff, a gust of fresh wind swept by, bringing with it a refreshing breath of air. Taking a deep breath, Gu Xuan felt his chest and abdomen clear, his mood instantly lifted.

He gazed out toward the east and saw a solitary peak piercing the sky, surrounded by a sea of clouds that surged and swirled, with thousands of rainbow lights cascading down and reflecting off its surface.

It was the wonder of Taihua Peak!

All around him, in the nearby mountains and valleys, rare and exotic creatures appeared, some soaring high in the sky while others roared in the forests, their radiant forms glowing in the sunlight.

"What a magnificent sight!" Gu Xuan exclaimed, marveling at the view.

With that, he flashed away, leaving the scene behind.

Not long after he departed, a muffled sound of 'chi' and 'chi' suddenly echoed from the cave where he had been contemplating sword intent.

Then, a loud bang resonated through the air.

Countless boulders broke loose, sliding down the cliff and plunging into the abyss below.

Even more tyrannical sword qi intertwined violently, cutting through the air in all directions, reducing all trees and stones within a radius of hundreds of feet to powder!

After one night spent comprehending the true meaning of kendo, the razor-sharp sword intent he had absorbed finally erupted at that moment!

...

At Neimen Peak, in a secluded cave, Zhang Fan stepped outside slowly.

He took in the splendid scenery of the Holy Land and breathed in the fresh air, but instead of feeling relieved, he found himself more depressed.

Although he had entered the inner door as he wished, he was not as happy as he had imagined.

Since that day of the grand competition, witnessing Gu Xuan being canonized as a true disciple, followed by the ringing of the bell announcing the beginning of the day, which everyone heard, and then seeing Su Lianyue showcase her unparalleled talent—this had left a profound impression on him. Even the Supreme Headmaster and many ancestors were alarmed, and she was directly established as a saint.

In just one day, he had watched two exceptional talents rise to fame, their brilliance shining across the world, leaving a lingering weight on his mind.

Last night, he had felt even more unsettled and had rarely practiced.

It wasn't until dawn that he woke up, realizing there was something wrong with his mentality. He decided to go for a walk, practice his swordsmanship, and shake off the stagnation in his chest.

As he wandered aimlessly, he unconsciously found himself at the edge of a cliff.

He planned to practice his swordsmanship, but when he looked up, his entire body trembled, and his pupils constricted.

The area within a radius of hundreds of feet was a complete mess, with dense traces everywhere, as if it had been plowed by something monstrous.

"This is... sword intent?!"

Feeling the biting chill in the air, Zhang Fan exclaimed in shock.

"Why is there such terrifying sword intent here?!"

"Who on earth has been cultivating in this place?!"

His mind raced with questions as he took in the scene.

At that moment, he noticed a damaged stone tablet lying in a crevice. He stepped forward quickly and examined it, but all he found was a single sword mark—nothing special about it.

"This stone tablet..."

"It seems to have been imprinted with the true meaning of martial arts!"

"But... the true meaning of martial arts has been completely absorbed; it's useless now!"

Zhang Fan rubbed the sword mark on the stone tablet with his fingers, and after examining it closely, disappointment washed over his face.

Just then, he felt a sudden sensation and took out a piece of jade from his storage bag. It shimmered brilliantly, exuding a bright luster.

Zhang Fan had no idea what the foundation of this jade was.

He had acquired it once while visiting the Fang Market, trading for it after pledging his blood to the owner. He discovered that this jade could sense opportunities suitable for him and would tremble in response.

Thanks to this jade, he had seized numerous opportunities, leading to significant improvements in his strength and ultimately his promotion to the inner sect.

Now, seeing the jade tremble, Zhang Fan paused for a moment before realization struck him.

"Could it be... that the true meaning of martial arts imprinted on this stone tablet is my chance?!"
