Metamorphosis

At a mountain peak within the Rain Curtain Secret Realm...

"To comprehend Sword Intent, aside from those who receive it through a senior's direct infusion or inherit it, the rest must rely on their own enlightenment."

"I could also impart my own Sword Intent to you, but then you would never be able to step beyond the scope of my Sword Intent for your entire life."

"That would waste your talent. You have your own path to walk." Yun Tianqing said to Chen Qinglin.

"Master, I will comprehend Sword Intent on my own." He could inherit his master's martial arts and the secrets of the secret realm, and later comprehend an artistic conception similar to Yun Tianqing's, but he would not accept the Rain Sword Emperor's infusion.

"Good. To comprehend Sword Intent, you must first understand two universal weapon realms." Yun Tianqing nodded and continued.

"The first realm is Lifting the Heavy as if Light."

"Upon reaching this realm, you can wield a heavy weapon as easily as picking up a twig."

"The second realm is Lifting the Light as if Heavy."

"This realm, as the name implies, involves using a light sword to produce the effect of a heavy sword."

"The mysteries of these two realms are for you to comprehend on your own."

"The region you are in is still too remote; it lacks even the inheritance for this aspect."

"I am giving you this Profound Heavy Sword. When you can perfectly execute your Wind Riding Sword Art with it, you will have achieved something."

Chen Qinglin took the Profound Heavy Sword and found it to be a Human Tier Top Grade Magic Tool.

"Remember this one thing I say to you, these two realms."

"They are both the Martial Arts Profundity and the Heart's Realm." At this point, Yun Tianqing's tone turned solemn.

"Alright, three days have passed. You should leave now."

"I have accepted those two girls as registered disciples. From now on, you may address each other as fellow disciples."

"They have also been granted my martial arts. If you have any confusion in the future, come find me. If they have any confusion, I believe you can resolve it."

After saying this, Yun Tianqing's figure vanished before Chen Qinglin.

Then, Chen Qinglin was moved out of the secret realm and saw the other two women on the cliff face.

The three looked at each other. Before Chen Qinglin could greet them, Jiang Qingyue spoke first.

"Senior Brother Qinglin, please take care of me from now on!"

"Junior Sister is too polite."

"Where is Junior Sister headed next?" He had learned a bit about this Junior Sister Jiang over the past three days.

She was not from this place, but from the distant Eastern Xuan Domain.

"I will accompany Senior Brother and Senior Sister to Qingfeng Mountain, stay in Qingfeng City for a while, and then set out to travel."

"During this time, I'll need Senior Brother to look after me." She said with a playful smile at Chen Qinglin.

"Is that so? Then let's go."

Wooden blockhead! Jiang Qingyue silently cursed.

But her goal for this trip had been exceeded. Not only had she obtained the Bone-Transforming Pill, but she had also been accepted as a registered disciple by the Rain Sword Emperor and received his inheritance.

Becoming fellow disciples with Chen Qinglin meant she didn't even need to go out of her way to build a good relationship with him.

Hehehe!

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyue was overjoyed. If not for the others being present, she would have jumped for joy.

She called over the Green Feather Eagle and stepped onto its back again.

At this moment, the sky had cleared after the rain, the colors bright and the sky clear.

The weather was fine, and the breeze was gentle!

It was the perfect time to return!

Xie Jingyun, having become Yun Tianqing's registered disciple, had naturally taken the Bone-Transforming Pill as well. Her talent had transformed into that of a genius, a meteoric rise.

Now, Xie Jingyun was considered the disciple with the highest talent on Qingfeng Mountain, with hopes of reaching the Spirit Aperture and Dharma Aspect realms in the future.

Even her appearance and figure had improved compared to before.

She chatted with Jiang Qingyue on the side, occasionally responding only when the conversation involved Chen Qinglin.

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching by the author's name. Maybe it was just renamed!

Looking back on the experiences of these past few days, it felt like a lifetime away.

Intent:

Wind Intent / Twenty Percent (4585/20000), Penetration Intent / Ten Percent (664/10000)

Of the Rain Sword Emperor's many sword techniques, he had only recorded them; the ones he truly practiced were just three sets.

Human Tier High Grade Heavy Rain Sword Technique and Light Rain Sword Technique;

and the Wind Fury Sword Technique collected by the Rain Sword Emperor, which reached Human Tier Top Grade.

His soul's transformation had increased his proficiency gain, from a base of two points per session to ten points.

Influenced by intent, environment, and instruction, proficiency would still spike; becoming a genius hadn't brought much change to his proficiency panel.

But it had multiplied his training speed several times over, and his comprehension of intent and intent-infused sword skills had risen greatly.

More than this, he hadn't yet discovered in these past few days.

That was how it was—practicing the three sword techniques for just over a day, he had already mastered all three to the Mastery level.

The Soul-Nourishing Pill had no effect on his cultivation, while the Bone-Transforming Pill, in altering his talent, also brought a surge of energy.

Seizing this opportunity, he smoothly opened the Thoroughfare Vessel and Belt Vessel, then in one go broke through the Conception and Governing Vessels. His own true qi cycled through his body in a grand circulation, unending, reaching Inner Qi Realm Perfection.

As for how to break through to True Essence Condensation Realm, he had previously thought that after Origin Returning Art was fully perfected, the true qi within his body would condense a strand of true essence. Upon reaching Inner Qi Perfection, he could slowly break through to True Essence Condensation Realm using that strand.

But for him now, he could break through to True Essence Condensation Realm without perfecting Origin Returning Art.

Yet he didn't know if having true essence in the Inner Qi Realm would make any difference when breaking through to True Essence Condensation Realm.

After consulting his master, Yun Tianqing, he was instructed by Yun Tianqing to be sure to cultivate Origin Returning Art to perfection before breaking through to True Essence Condensation Realm.

That way, after breaking through, his true essence would be purer than that of an ordinary True Essence Condensation Realm cultivator.

He roughly calculated that if he devoted himself fully to cultivating Origin Returning Art, he would perfect it in about half a month, so there was no need to rush.

He had no deep blood feuds; all he had was an ordinary person's longing for the martial path.

The sword-wielding journey across the world he had once yearned for would truly come to pass in this world.

Lying on the eagle's back, leisurely gazing at the sky, Chen Qinglin closed his eyes, savoring the beauty of the sunlight.

So much so that when Xie Jingyun and Jiang Qingyue looked at him, they didn't know when he had fallen asleep.

The volume of their conversation unconsciously lowered.

Awakened by the eagle's cry, Chen Qinglin came to his senses and realized they had already arrived near Qingfeng Mountain.

Riding the Green Feather Eagle down to the foot of Qingfeng Mountain, the two accompanied Jiang Qingyue to rent a courtyard in Qingfeng City before returning to Qingfeng Mountain to report in.
