Li Xuan stood up, his expression solemn, and said, “Disciple, comprehending sword intent is just the foundation of the Sword Dao. You still have a long way to go. The Sword Dao is endless. You must not be impatient!”

Xu Yan’s expression became serious. He took a deep breath and respectfully said, “Yes, Master. I promise to calm my mind, diligently practice, and steadfastly continue on the path of Sword Dao.”

“Good!”

Li Xuan nodded, his face full of satisfaction. “Now that you have comprehended the sword intent and stepped into the gate of sword dao, I will point out to you, the direction of Sword Dao.”

Xu Yan was listening attentively, his heart filled with excitement.

“After understanding the sword intent, the second realm of the Sword Dao is the Heart Sword Realm.

“In my heart is a sword, and everything in this world can be my sword.

“Encountering a mountain, the mountain is my sword; seeing rivers and lakes, they are also my sword… Even grasses and trees can be my sword.

“The mountain has the intent of the mountain sword, the water has the intent of a water sword… Everything in the world is the sword of my heart…”

The second realm of Sword Dao is the Heart Sword Realm!

Xu Yan couldn’t suppress his excitement. Could everything in the world truly be turned into a sword?

A mountain could become my sword.

Rivers can also be my sword!

It was truly incredible. At this moment, he truly felt his insignificance.

The Heart Sword Realm!

It seemed so far away from him.

What kind of understanding of Sword Dao must it be?

In his mind, an image involuntarily formed: with a wave of his hand, a mountain turned into a sword, which then hurtled out and annihilated his enemies.

“Disciple, if you want to break through to the Heart Sword Realm, you first need to comprehend sword intent.”

Li Xuan looked at Xu Yan, who was flushed with excitement, his eyes glowing with fervor and longing, and smiled as he spoke.

Does it sound mystifying?

Indeed, the more mysterious it was, the more driven Xu Yan seemed. He never doubted whether he could achieve these mysterious feats.

All he did was strive towards this goal with the fervor of a transfused chicken.

He really is a good disciple!

Li Xuan sighed, taking Xu Yan as a disciple was one of the best decisions he had made in his two lifetimes.

“Yes, Master!”

Xu Yan nodded respectfully.

Sword intent!

Comprehend sword intent!

“Everything under the heavens can help you comprehend the sword intent. However, you must remember, the most taboo thing when comprehending sword intent is obsession. Being overly obsessed can lead to being trapped in a cage, preventing true understanding.

“You must not blindly seek to comprehend sword intent while neglecting your own training.

“Now that you have understood the sword intent, it’s only a matter of time before you comprehend it. Perhaps one day when you are practicing Descending Dragon Palm, you will suddenly comprehend it.

“Sword intent, it’s not just something you can comprehend when practicing the Sword Dao.”

Li Xuan earnestly instructed him.

He couldn’t let his disciple neglect his training of Descending Dragon Palm in order to practice the Sword Dao.

Unparalleled in both palm and sword – that was the true path for Xu Yan.

“If you understand the intent of the Descending Dragon Palm, you can also, by analogy, comprehend the sword intent. Similarly, if you understand the sword intent, you should be able to understand the intent of Descending Dragon Palm.

“How much you can comprehend, depends on you.”

Li Xuan pondered that it was also time for Xu Yan to comprehend the intent of Descending Dragon Palm. If he could truly comprehend it, his strength would certainly increase significantly.

“Master, I understand!”

Xu Yan respectfully said.

“Hmm, continue your practice.”

Li Xuan sat down again.

The realm of Sword Dao after the Heart Sword Realm will be passed on to Xu Yan after he understands the Heart Sword Realm. If too much is handed over at once, it could affect his comprehension, wouldn’t that be a mistake?

It is best to make steady progress, one step at a time.

“Yes, Master!”

Xu Yan nodded.

Li Xuan glanced at Meng Chong and said, “Your junior fellow disciple has hit a bottleneck. You should spar with him, stimulate his vitality, and help him breakthrough the bottleneck!”

Xu Yan was taken aback. He looked back at Meng Chong and immediately understood.

When he broke through the Golden Bone bottleneck and successfully cultivated Jade Bone, what helped him was the Fire Mane Wolf.

As for his junior fellow disciple, who is cultivating the Martial Arts of the flesh body, he is stuck at the perfect Golden Bone and cannot further cultivate to Diamond Lustrous Bone.

It requires external forces to temper his flesh body, stimulate his vitality, and break through this bottleneck.

“Yes, Master!”

Xu Yan nodded.

Meng Chong, who cultivates the Martial Arts of the flesh, needs to break through restrictions. The best way is external tempering. This not only suppresses oneself but also stimulates potential and breaks through the bottleneck.

The method is quite simple.

Of course, it also depends on the individual’s aptitude. If the aptitude does not meet the requirement, no matter how much tempering or squeezing, it will only hurt oneself, rather than break through the bottleneck.

Meng Chong’s physical aptitude is obviously high, so there is no risk of hurting the foundation of his body.

During the tempering and squeezing process, he will stimulate potential, break through the bottleneck, and cultivate into the Diamond Lustrous Bone.

When Meng Chong broke through the Copper Bone bottleneck, it was because of the stimulation of the ruthless and cold Inner Qi of the Blood Heartless, which provoked his potential and vitality, and he broke through the bottleneck in one fell swoop.

“Junior Brother, come, let’s spar.”

Xu Yan beckoned to Meng Chong.

“Okay!”

Meng Chong nodded.

The two directly left the city of Yunshan and went outside the city to spar.

On the surface it was a spar, but in fact, it was to temper Meng Chong’s flesh body, stimulate his potential, and thus break through the bottleneck.

Outside Yunshan County, in the forest between the mountains.

The sound of thunder erupted.

Xu Yan’s vitality surged as he struck one palm after another, his hot vitality continuously bombarding Meng Chong’s body.

Meanwhile, Meng Chong was operating his Grand Sun Golden Bell Shield. His body, like a golden bell, hummed under the impact of vitality, and the muscles all over his body were trembling.

“Not enough, make it more intense.”

Meng Chong flexed his muscles as he spoke.

“Alright!”

Xu Yan’s eyebrows raised slightly, admiring his junior fellow disciple’s body that was indeed hardy – befitting one who was solely dedicated to the Martial Arts of the flesh body..
