The embryonic form of Sword Intent!?A glint of light flashed in Su Xing's eyes, and his heart was somewhat excited.
In the total compendium of sword cultivation texts, there had been an introduction to Sword Intent!
The Three Talents Sword Technique was divided into Heaven, Earth, and Man Swords!
Among them, the Human Sword was divided into the realms of entry-level, minor achievement, major achievement, and Great Perfection!
And the mark of stepping into the realm of major achievement was the comprehension of the embryonic form of Sword Intent!
The concept of Sword Intent was profound upon profound, and ordinary sword cultivators, even after hundreds of years of practice, might only learn the sword moves without necessarily grasping the Sword Intent!
However, Su Xing, due to a previous epiphany, had a deep understanding of the principles of the Human Sword.
Moreover, with his innate talent as a sword fanatic, he learned swordsmanship more than ten times faster than the average person.
Even so, in his simulations, Su Xing had just barely stepped into the realm of major achievement of the Human Sword by constantly pressuring himself and engaging in intense swordsmanship battles, and he had managed to comprehend the embryonic form of Sword Intent!
Recalling the description in the compendium of sword cultivation, Su Xing murmured:
"Tsk tsk, this is the embryonic form of Sword Intent! A sword cultivator who understands Sword Intent holds the sword with the spirit of doing one's utmost and fearless of life and death!"
"With the strength of the human merged with the Sword Intent, the power of the sword in hand will be fed back to the cultivator themselves, greatly increasing their strength!"
"And when one holds a sword, they advance unopposed, unafraid of formidable enemies, gaining at least a 50% enhancement in strength after understanding Sword Intent!"
"Besides that... the most damn important thing is the cool factor! With the Sword Intent released, one can emit sword light and decapitate the enemy from a kilometer away!"
Excitement surged in Su Xing's heart, how did the saying go? Being cool is a lifetime's pursuit!
But at the same time, Su Xing did not let his success go to his head, murmuring:
"Having achieved major achievement in Human Sword and grasping but the embryonic form of Sword Intent, yet if one reaches Great Perfection, one can fully comprehend Sword Intent!"
"With my current strength, should I grasp Sword Intent, I might truly have the assurance to defeat that damned Zong, right?"
Su Xing's gaze stirred, his current strength was at most evenly matched, maybe slightly at a disadvantage, against Damned Zong, but understanding Sword Intent could shift the odds in his favor!
After all, sword cultivators, among cultivators, are considered to have extremely profound offensive techniques!
"If only I could trigger an epiphany..."
Some desire emerged in Su Xing's heart; now with major achievement in Human Sword and comprehension of the embryonic form of Sword Intent, another epiphany could likely lead him effortlessly to Great Perfection of Human Sword!
His gaze shifted to the simulation panel.
[After mastering the embryonic form of Sword Intent, you did not slacken in your cultivation of swordsmanship; instead, you sought to test whether your Human Sword could be cultivated to the level of Great Perfection.]
[Thus, you continued to use your sword against enemies, constantly enhancing your comprehension of swordsmanship in actual combat.]
[In the ninth year, after reaching major achievement in Human Sword, with the boost from Sword Intent, you slew fifteen Demon Emperors in one year, acquiring a substantial amount of Flesh Essence.]
[After consuming large amounts of Flesh Essence daily, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level improved further.]
[In the tenth year, you slew two members of the Royal Clan among the demonic beasts, and your comprehension of Sword Intent deepened during the battles.]
[From a kilometer away, with a swing of your sword, the emitted sword light was enough to bisect a Demon King.]
[That same year, after consuming the Flesh Essence of the two Royal Clan demonic beasts, you felt that your Body Refinement Cultivation Level was not far from the eightfold Divine Strength Realm.]
[In the eleventh year, you once again slew three members of the Royal Clan among the demonic beasts, earning a reputation throughout Demon-Subduing Pass as the number one person beneath the legends of the Pass!]
[On the battlefield, holding a sword, you knew no fear, even when facing two Demon Emperors at the same time, managing to hold your own and retreat unscathed.]
[You started to continuously challenge yourself, breaking through Sword Intent, and if there were no Royal Clan demonic beasts to fight you, you would proactively face two Demon Emperors simultaneously, using this to temper your swordsmanship.]
[In the twelfth year, your Body Refinement Cultivation Level finally broke through, making you a cultivator of the eighthfold Divine Strength Realm!]
[At the same time, your swordsmanship also became more exquisite, and your comprehension of Sword Intent was no longer just a glimpse of the threshold.]
Seeing this, Su Xing furrowed his brow and murmured:
"It took a whole twelve years to break through to the eightfold Divine Strength Realm..."
"It seems that in the latter stages of the Divine Strength Realm, raising one's cultivation level is indeed difficult!"
This pace would be enviable for an ordinary cultivator in the Divine Strength Realm. S~eaʀᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
For an ordinary cultivator in the later stages of the Divine Strength Realm, not breaking through a minor realm in thirty to fifty years was quite common.
It was only with the combined factors that Su Xing was able to improve so quickly, achieving in one year what took others several years.
But Su Xing was not entirely satisfied, pondering to himself:
"At this rate, I'm afraid it would take at least thirty years to cultivate to Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm... This means that I won't be able to achieve the Body Refinement Cultivation Level of Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm in this simulation!"
Su Xing felt somewhat disheartened at this thought, as reaching from the ninth to Great Perfection would mean wasting an additional opportunity to choose a simulation reward.
And each simulation reward choice was precious to Su Xing.
Su Xing carefully considered for a moment, trying to recall any methods that could further speed up his Body Cultivation progress.
Suddenly, a light shone in Su Xing's eyes, and he murmured:
"Perhaps, if I could consume Flesh Essence from the Royal Clan demonic beasts every day, my Body Cultivation pace would surely speed up further!"
"Then, maybe I could raise my Cultivation Level to the Great Perfection of Divine Strength Realm within the twenty-five-year simulation period!"
"But how could I obtain more Flesh Essence from the Royal Clan demonic beasts?"
Su Xing fell into deep thought.
Royal Clan demonic beasts were different from ordinary ones; they were not only rarer but also stronger.
But the biggest difference was... Royal Clan demonic beasts were far more intelligent, nearly indistinguishable from humans!
