“In my eyes, you have not entered the Sword Dao yet. However, you indeed surpass a multitude of Martial Artists of the Sword Dao. You can be considered to have extraordinary talent.”
“This is Sword Intent, only those with a clear understanding of the sword can
enter the Sword Dao and comprehend the Sword Intent.”
“You should try this sword and see how much you can comprehend. It’s all up
to you.”
As Li Xuan spoke, he waved his hand and the sword, refined from spiritual energy, slashed towards Xie Tianheng.
A surge of Mountain and River Sword Intent swept out.
“Sword Intent?”
Xie Tianheng frowned as he swung his sword down; the powerful sword momentum, condensed into a giant sword, seemingly capable of breaking everything!
However, the immensely powerful sword momentum, upon contact with spiritual energy and Sword Intent, was like a lump of fat thrown on red-hot iron.
With a hiss, it was effortlessly shattered.
“Impossible!”
Xie Tianheng was taken aback.
“Slice!”
In that instant, Xie Tianheng’s sword momentum surged violently, exhibiting the Myriad Rivers Swordsmanship, overwhelming and continuous.
Still, in face of that sword, he was utterly defenseless.
His full confidence, deemed to be capable of looking down on previous and contemporary Sword Dao’s momentum, turned out to be so vulnerable.
“Sword Intent?!”
In that moment, Xie Tianheng was somewhat in a trance.
The more he initiated, the more he felt the strength and mystery of the Sword Intent. His sword momentum, as if controlled by the Sword Intent, appeared to have no offensive power to speak of.
It seemed as though those who understood Sword Intent could easily suppress practitioners of Sword Dao without Sword Intent!
Xie Tianheng couldn’t accept that the momentum of the Sword Dao he had painstakingly comprehended would be so inadequate.
He went all out, his horrifying sword momentum growing stronger and stronger, its awe-inspiring presence exceeding a Semi-Celestial’s full force.
“No matter how strong the sword momentum is, it is just a gust of wind. A strong wind can break a tree and lift a house but it cannot move a massive rock.
“Sword Intent, however, can reduce the massive rock to ash.
“You can comprehend sword momentum, which is commendable. If you can transform momentum into intent, and comprehend Sword Intent, then you’d truly enter the gateway of the Sword Dao.”
Li Xuan chuckled and offered his advice.
Xie Tianheng’s expression tightened, his composure wavering. After his seclusion, he thought he had entered a Sword Dao path that was unprecedented, pioneering a new era of Sword Dao.
For a time, he didn’t regard anyone in the world.
Yet now, his Sword Dao’s momentum was so weak?
Sword Intent, what profound doctrine was that? He had never heard of it before. And in this powerful person’s eyes, he hadn’t even entered the doorway of Sword Dao?
“Thanks for your advice, Junior takes leave!”
Xie Tianheng was on the verge of breaking down. He withdrew his sword intent, bowed with a stiff face and spoke.
After which, he swiftly departed.
“Father!”
Xie Lingfeng called out anxiously.
“Sword Lord!”
The Great Masters on the Sword Dao Cliff all shouted and followed swiftly.
Only Xie Lingfeng was left, flustered.
Shamefully returning to Canglan Island, he said, “Elder, forgive me, my father
For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.
“Your father, on the path of Sword Dao, has quite a talent. If he can move on from his setback, given time, he will inevitably enter the Sword Dao and comprehend the Sword Intent.”
Li Xuan said with a smile.
Xie Lingfeng was somewhat surprised, the elder’s evaluation of his father was that high?
“You are still a bit away from entering the Sword Dao. Reaching Sword Intent in one step, for you, requires either slow comprehension over time, which won’t be short.
“Or to wait for a flash of insight, then you can also comprehend Sword Intent. “But you can first comprehend sword momentum, and then condense Sword Intent from sword momentum. For you, this is the right path.
Li Xuan opened his mouth to give advice.
Xie Lingfeng’s talent naturally wasn’t bad, he was already not far from stepping into the Sword Dao.
Sword Intent is too hard to comprehend, not everyone is a freak like Xu Yan.
The appearance of Xie Tianheng made Li Xuan realize how to lower the threshold for entering the Sword Dao.
Practitioners of Sword Dao can start by cultivating Sword Momentum as their foundation. Even if they fail to comprehend Sword Intent, but have honed the Sword Momentum, their strength will significantly increase.
“Thank you for your guidance, elder!”
Xie Lingfeng respectfully saluted.
Without staying on Canglan Island for long, Xie Lingfeng quickly left to comfort his father and learn about Sword Momentum.
“Xie Tianheng is quite interesting!”
Li Xuan chuckled.
The incident of the Pledge Alliance countering the Celestials spread throughout the Inner Realm Martial Arts world, with all martial artists paying attention to the outcome.
In the imperial city of Great Yue Nation, the atmosphere was tense, with the Emperor and the great clans all quietly awaiting the news.
Yan Nation, Purple Cloud Nation, and many great forces remaining strong as well.
This counter-attack against the Celestials brought forth many powerful people.
Such as one of the three great mysterious forces, the Green Faced Man, who despite the death of a Semi-Celestial, still had two Semi-Celestial powers, the Red Robe and the Purple Robe!
This shocked many top forces.
Although the Demon Sect was declining, it also revealed its powerful foundation in this battle.
The residual Demon Lords all appeared.
The notorious Demon Child also took action, his strength arguably the strongest among all Semi-Celestials.
Such a lineup, gathering the power of all Great Grandmasters, even Celestials will suffer defeat, right?
In the Great Yue Nation, several figures returned disheveled, entering the palace.
“So, did you kill the Celestials?”
The Emperor of Great Yue and other strong individuals hurriedly asked. Those Grandmasters, looking deathly pale, their bodies trembling slightly, stood on the floor, their legs seeming weak!
“They’re dead! They’re all dead!”
One of them said with a trembling voice..
