Chapter 38: Qi Yang Sets Off
"He has reached the level of great achievement already?"
Chen Changfeng turned back and looked for a moment, then sighed and said, "If I remember correctly, it hasn't even been a month since Su Zhan chose the Flowing Fire Sword Technique. Within this month, he also cultivated palm techniques, fist techniques, and so on. In such a short time, he has actually mastered the Flowing Fire Sword Technique to the great achievement"
"Why bother comparing ourselves to this monstrous genius?" Qin Jincheng appeared to have a relaxed attitude as he smiled and consoled them. Comparing oneself to a freakish prodigy like Su Zhan in terms of talent? What other result could there be besides feeling miserable?
Chen Changfeng nodded and said, "Sect Master, you're right. Su Zhan's talent is beyond comparison for someone like me. However, I'm now curious about how long it will take him to truly grasp Sword Intention after reaching the Martial Master realm."
Qin Jincheng replied, "During the early stage of the Martial Master realm, those who can grasp Sword Intention are few and far between. Even Qi Yang didn't achieve it back then. Although Su Zhan's talent surpasses Qi Yang's, it will probably take him around a month or so, I suppose?"
Sword Intention is different from the sword intent that can be displayed once one reaches the Essence Condensation realm in sword cultivation. Although they both sound the same, they are different concepts.
Sword intent, also known as the sword intent of sword cultivation, is a state of mind power that emerges from the pinnacle of sword martial arts cultivation. For example, Su Zhan's Cold Sword Intent can only be manifested by unsheathing his sword and using the Cold Sword Technique. It is an accessory to sword martial arts.
On the other hand, the true Sword Intention mastered in the Martial Master realm refers to the Sword Intention wielded by the martial artist themselves.
There is no need to cultivate martial arts to the pinnacle. Once mastered, wherever Sword Intention reaches, sword qi naturally arises, without the need to display any specific sword technique. With a single thought, various Sword Intentions can be invoked!
Upon hearing Qin Jincheng and Chen Changfeng's words, the other elders also expressed their opinions.
"One month? Senior Brother, you have too much faith in Su Zhan. It takes at least half a month for him to stabilize his realm after just entering the Martial Master realm. I would say it should take about three months!"
"Senior Brother Xie, you're going too far. Are you treating Su Zhan as one of the juniors in your Xie family? At most, one and a half months, he will definitely grasp Sword Intention!"
"I think so too. One and a half months should be enough for Su Zhan Holy crap!"
As one of the elders spoke, he stared at Su Zhan practicing his sword and suddenly widened his eyes, unable to hold back a curse.
Not only him, but the other elders, including Ouyang Mu, Chen Changfeng, and others, were also dumbfounded.
Although Qin Jincheng had ordered the elders not to leak this matter, the anomalies caused by Su Zhan's condensation of his lifesource weapon were too exaggerated. Those people weren't blind and could guess the general situation when they knew that Su Zhan was about to condense his own lifesource weapon.
On White Cloud Peak
As Qi Yang listened to the true disciple who had a good relationship with him recounting the situation, his expression turned grim. "What you're saying is just rumors. Is there any evidence?"
"Some people have personally witnessed Su Zhan heading towards the Artifact Refining Valley! And the anomalies that occurred at the convergence of day and night were centered around the Artifact Refining Valley! Moreover, haven't you noticed, Senior Qi Yang, that Su Zhan hasn't returned to White Clud Peak for several days?"
"That's true It seems that it's likely to be true!"
Qi Yang clenched his fist, filled with resentment. "Su Zhan, this person is incredibly arrogant and has a grudge against me. It's because of him that my relationship with Master Ouyang has deteriorated to this point! Now that he's condensed his own Divine lifesource weapon, he's probably going to step on my head!"
The true disciple hesitated for a moment and suggested, "Senior Qi Yang, what if what if you take the initiative to reconcile with him? Su Zhan is truly too abnormal, and it's not worth provoking him!"
"Not worth it" Qi Yang gave the fellow disciple a cold look and waved his hand. "Alright, I will consider this matter. You may leave now!"
Once the disciple left, a strong sense of killing intent emerged in Qi Yang's eyes.
Reconcile? Even if Qi Yang were willing, it's doubtful whether Su Zhan would be willing, right?
Furthermore, even if the issues between him and Su Zhan were resolved, with Su Zhan's sudden emergence, the honor that originally belonged to Qi Yang of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect, the admiration of countless junior disciples, the worship of his junior brothers, the praise and respect of the elders, and the best cultivation resources everything would be snatched away by Su Zhan!
I would never allow him to take what belongs to me! A cold light flickered in Qi Yang's eyes.
Currently, although Su Zhan had condensed his own Divine lifesource weapon, his realm was not yet stable, and he couldn't truly use the newly formed divine weapon in battle whereas Qi Yang had already reached the peak of the Martial Master realm. His own lifesource weapon had nurtured sentience and could be freely manipulated, and his own strength was several times greater than Su Zhan, who had just entered the Martial Master realm!
Now, I have the advantage, and it's the perfect opportunity! I must not waste time and allow Su Zhan to stabilize his cultivation realm!
Qi Yang took a deep breath, walked out of the cave, and headed towards the Artifact Refining Valley.
