This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 382 - 12 Comprehension (2-in-1)_2
Chapter 382: Chapter 12 Comprehension (2-in-1)_2
The sights before his eyes did not cease, one ferocious demon bird after another emerged, their sword light sweeping across heaven and earth, a cold gleam flashing incessantly.
Scene after scene of slaying demon birds with a sword unfolded in Lu Qingshan’s consciousness, evolving into boundless intents.
And these epiphanies were being magnified limitlessly, enabling him to capture them better.
Lu Qingshan, who was cultivating the Taoist Treasury, had an ability to comprehend intents that was well above the average person.
Not to mention, these intents were all manifested in the form of swordsmanship.
This was the area where his talent was most outstanding.
Like a fish in water.
Lu Qingshan was completely immersed in enlightenment, oblivious to the passage of time.
It wasn’t until a long time later that his spirit suddenly shook, and his whole body’s aura flashed with sharpness.
A few lines of faint, firefly-like characters flickered before his eyes.
“Comprehension of intent!…..”
[Annihilation Penetrating Sword Intent] (Weak): Primordial Intent: A branch of Annihilation Sword Intent. Penetrates everything, the ultimate offensive Sword Intent.
“Ability enhancement!….Your Divine Soul has been enhanced (Divine Sense +50).”
Lu Qingshan opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and piercing, as if it could see through everything, then suddenly retracted, and everything returned to calm.
His dark pupils were unfathomably deep.
……
His reason for coming to the Sword Stele Secret Realm had been achieved.
Though the Annihilation Penetrating Sword Intent was merely a branch of the Annihilation Sword Intent, it was also considered a high-tier Sword Intent, on par with Slaughter Sword Intent.
For now, he did not plan to comprehend more intents.
The understanding of Sword Intent should not be limited to one, but should definitely not be overly greedy either.
For a Nascent Soul Cultivator breaking through to the Void Refining stage, the most critical step is to condense the comprehended intents into a Dao Seed.
And the most fundamental condition for condensing a Dao Seed is that the intents comprehended by the cultivator must all reach the Perfection Realm.
Not one can be lacking.
If one were to greedily grasp too many intents before this, their combat power could indeed become much stronger.
But the consequence would be needing to madly fill in the gaps later on.
Raising the level of intent is not something that can be achieved overnight, and to elevate all intents to the Perfection Realm, cultivators might need to remain stagnant at the Nascent Soul Stage for a very long time, or even possibly never advance to Void Refining at all.
The most correct approach is to value refinement over quantity.
Mastering two to five types of intents is the most suitable quantity.
But the comprehended intents should preferably be of a higher tier.
Because a Dao Seed condensed from ten low-tier intents, in terms of quality, actually can hardly surpass one condensed from two high-tier intents.
As for Lu Qingshan, besides his Slaughter Sword Intent which has already reached the Unity Realm, he also harbors the incomplete Causality True Intent and the nascent Immortal True Intent.
He had never deliberately pursued the reason for the Causality True Intent for this very fear.
What he worried about was that once he really entered the Causality True Intent, it would then be difficult to get off this tiger’s back.
The strength of a Primordial True Intent was unquestionable.
But correspondingly, the difficulty of raising a Primordial True Intent to the Perfection Realm was also countless times harder than any other intent.
Therefore, before breaking through to Void Refining, Lu Qingshan did not plan to pursue the entrance into Causality True Intent and Immortal True Intent.
His idea was to elevate his most skilled and traceable Slaughter Sword Intent to its corresponding Primordial True Intent, the Destruction Sword Intent.
Then, using the Destruction Sword Intent as a base, condense the Primordial Dao Seed.
….
Lu Qingshan slowly stood up.
With a thought, the willow catkin Sword Token flew out, and a roar echoed within the secret realm as a crack materialized.
Lu Qingshan exited the Sword Stele Secret Realm through the crack.
At the Sword Coming Peak, the aged sword cultivator glanced at Lu Qingshan who had just left the secret realm, his expression showing some emotion.
At this moment, Lu Qingshan had undergone great changes compared to before he entered the Sword Stele Secret Realm.
In terms of Vital Essence, his entire being was noticeably sharper.
“You stayed in the Sword Stele Secret Realm for only two days, and the remaining eight days will be reserved for you. You can re-enter the Sword Stele Secret Realm anytime,” the aged sword cultivator said slowly.
Only two days?
Lu Qingshan felt somewhat bewildered.
Because it seemed to him that he had stayed in that void space for an extremely long time.
“Inside the Sword Stele Secret Realm, while comprehending the intent of the sword steles, your mind will be unprecedentedly clear, and every thought will be infinitely magnified.
Therefore, the flow of time also seems to slow down, creating the illusion that a lot of time has passed when it has actually been just a short while,” the elderly Sword Cultivator explained slowly, noticing the confusion on Lu Qingshan’s face. “That’s why the sect generally only gives disciples three days to meditate.
It’s not stinginess. It’s because in such circumstances, if there is enlightenment, three days is completely sufficient. If nothing is gained, giving them another three days is likely of little use.”
Lu Qingshan understood.
After bowing respectfully to the elderly Sword Cultivator, he then turned into a streak of sword light and left.
……
Lu Qingshan didn’t know that, just after he had left the Sword Stele Secret Realm, a grey stream of energy suddenly appeared above the secret realm.
The stream contained incredibly pure Spiritual Power and profound Heaven and Earth energy, continuously flowing into a sword stele that Lu Qingshan had previously touched.
Since Lu Qingshan had touched all the steles in the secret realm prior to this.
The grey energy stream continuously surged out and entered the nearly thousand sword steles within the Sword Stele Secret Realm.
The cold gleaming sword stele that Lu Qingshan had last chosen absorbed the most grey energy stream.
The elderly Sword Cultivator, upon witnessing this scene, felt incredibly pained and seemed to recall something, muttering to himself, “This kid, just like his master. It’s really costing the sect a fortune again…”
The ancestors who left the sword steles were mostly Seventh Realm Sword Cultivators.
Although this realm was already considered great power, how could the intent on their steles continue to exist for thousands of years without special methods to sustain them?
And these special methods, of course, came from the Sword Sect.
To keep the sword intent on the steles from dissipating, the Sword Sect used a minor world to capture the scattered sword intent and had Armor Pavilion Cultivators set up a protective array.
To maintain the operation of this protective array, the Spirit Stones consumed every year were staggeringly numerous.
This content is taken from fгeewebnovёl.com.
This level of consumption is actually comparable to, and sometimes even exceeds, the inherent value of the sword steles themselves.
Yet, despite this, the opportunity to meditate within this Sword Stele Secret Realm was so precious that only Sword Sect disciples who met certain criteria were allotted a very short time to meditate.
One of the conditions Lu Qingshan currently knew about was what the elderly Sword Cultivator had mentioned: any disciple who broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage would be granted three days of meditation time in the Sword Stele Secret Realm.
But it’s worth noting that meditation time in the secret realm is also only given as a form of reward to Sword Sect disciples.
There never has been a case where a disciple could simply pay Spirit Stones or Spirit Crystals and thus be allowed to meditate in the Sword Stele Secret Realm.
There were restrictions, but no charges.
In other words, the Sword Stele Secret Realm was a gold-devouring beast that only incurred costs without bringing any substantial revenue.
…
And this distinctive quality of the Sword Sect was precisely what shone through under these circumstances.
Since the establishment of the Sword Stele Secret Realm, throughout tens of thousands of years.
There had not been a single leader of the Sword Sect who thought the existence of the realm unreasonable or who grudgingly weighed the loss of Spirit Stones and thus decided to dismantle the Sword Stele Secret Realm or to charge disciples who entered for meditation.
Because, in the eyes of the Sword Sect’s cultivators, the ancestors left the sword steles precisely so that their swordsmanship and Sword Intent could be passed on.
All Sect Masters of the Sword Sect have always upheld and respected the ancestors’ vision.
—Although you can’t personally open a main peak to teach swordsmanship and Sword Dao, passing down the steles containing your lifelong Sword Dao generation after generation is something the Sword Sect will certainly do and wishes to do,
Even if no one has ever made such a demand.
……
Having returned to Sword Coming Peak, Lu Qingshan discovered that Xia Daoyun, who had just returned to the sect, had left the Sword Sect again during the two days he was in the Sword Stele Secret Realm to attend to some matter.
He stood by the lakeside in front of the wooden pavilion, reminiscing about the past two days’ experiences while sensing the newly grasped Annihilation Penetrating Sword Intent.
In the palm of his hand, a hint of cold gleam faintly emerged.
The space seemed to freeze for a moment at the appearance of the cold gleam.
As if infinite strength gathered at that single point of cold gleam, then pierced through everything.
The unruly aura surged uncontrollably.
Pop, pop, pop!
Feeling the terrifying aura unleashed, the fish in the lake frantically thrashed about in the water.
Lu Qingshan frowned slightly and flicked his right hand gently, causing the cold gleam to instantly dissipate.
The unruly aura also subsided along with it, and the black carps finally returned to normal.
“I’ve only just begun to comprehend it and still can’t keep it as restrained as the Slaughter Sword Intent,” Lu Qingshan murmured.
