The Joy of Swallowing a Saber!

This is the herb that True Lord White Crane exchanged with Song Shuhang for the 'Dragon Demon Potion'. It is called [Saber Intent Tongxuan]. It is a treasure that grows in the ruins of 'Longevity Immortal' who Dao Initiation the Dao through the sword. It is extremely precious to sword cultivators.

If you consume them, you will have the opportunity to experience and comprehend the 'Saber Intent'.

If there are enough [Saber Intent Tongxuan], as long as the sword cultivator's aptitude is not bad, they can forcefully perceive the 'Saber Intent'.

Upon seeing that it was Su Clan’s Sixteen, Song Shuhang smiled and asked, "Sixteen, have you ever eaten this [Saber Intent Tongxuan]?"

"Hmm." Su Clan’s Sixteen nodded. The 'Heavenly River Su Clan' possessed numerous family-inherited cultivation techniques and was a renowned family for producing sword cultivators. Their <Heavenly River Saber Technique> was famous Cultivation World. How could the Heavenly River Su Clan miss out on a treasure like [Saber Intent Tongxuan]?

"How was the effect?" Song Shuhang asked curiously.

"Yes, after I Subordinate Second Rank Realm, I started taking [Saber Intent Tongxuan] regularly. After consuming about fifty plants, I comprehended my own Saber Intent," Su Clan’s Sixteen replied.

The Heavenly River Su Clan has a profound foundation. The 'Profound Saber Intent Tongxuan', which is extremely precious to ordinary sword cultivators, is something that Su Clan’s Sixteen takes regularly. He has consumed more than fifty of them until he condenses his Saber Intent.

"Shuhang, are you also going to gather Saber Intent?" Su Clan’s Sixteen asked curiously—from her interactions with Song Shuhang, she could sense that he seemed to prefer the sword to the saber.

But now, is Shuhang going to concentrate his 'Saber Intent' and follow the path of sword cultivation?

"Yes, I want to give it a try. If I can master the Saber Intent, the power of my swordsmanship will definitely increase a lot," Song Shuhang nodded.

--The Reverse Scale Saber Technique, this strange 'defensive blade technique,' doesn't require much in terms of Saber Intent.

However, to truly unleash the power of the 'Heaven-Burning Flame Saber' taught by Senior Master Scarlet Firmament, it requires the assistance of Saber Intent. If Shuhang were to condense his own Saber Intent, the power of the 'Heaven-Burning Flame Saber' would definitely increase significantly.

"Hmm." Su Clan’s Sixteen nodded.

After thinking for a moment, she still spoke up to remind Song Shuhang, "By the way Shuhang, do you know that once you condense 'Saber Intent,' you can no longer condense 'Sword Intent'? Once you condense one of the Saber Intent, Sword Intent, Fist Intent, etc., you will never have the chance to condense any other 'intent' again."

Whether it's Saber Intent, Sword Intent, or Fist Intent, it all comes from the cultivator's essence, energy, and spirit being condensed to their limit and then sublimated through comprehension. Once Saber Intent is condensed, it occupies one hundred percent of the cultivator's essence, energy, and spirit, leaving no room for the cultivator to condense Sword Intent.

"What? There's such a thing?" Song Shuhang was taken aback. He had absolutely no idea about this.

In other words, if he were to take the "Saber Intent Tongxuan" and, by chance, condense "Saber Intent," he would truly be determined to pursue the path of "Sword Cultivation" to the very end.

"So, you need to think this through carefully," Su Clan’s Sixteen said softly.

Song Shuhang held the 'Saber Intent Tongxuan' and began to ponder.

Compared to techniques like "Blade Flight" or "Blade-Drawing Technique," Sword Flight is clearly more stylish, and swordsmanship is more elegant than swordsmanship.

However, Song Shuhang's rationality told him that he really didn't have the talent to learn swordsmanship—the only swordsmanship he could learn was the <Holy Light Swordsmanship>, which was modified from Western swordsmanship. The 'sword' used in the Holy Light Swordsmanship was a greatsword, more like a knife than a sword.

Even if he forced himself to invest in the 'swordsmanship' talent, he wouldn't achieve much with his talent tree.

To go further on the path of cultivation, Saber Intent is indispensable.

"Sixteen," Song Shuhang asked, holding the [Saber Intent Tongxuan], "Suppose that if I condense 'Saber Intent,' can I still 'Sword Flight'? Like, use it for transportation?"

In addition to the flying sword used for combat, cultivators usually also have a second flying sword for transportation.

It used to be quite popular to modify flying swords into all sorts of bizarre shapes—like keyboards, fruits, Superman statues, and so on...

"Yes, although the speed will definitely be a bit slower, it's still no problem for a sword cultivator to Sword Flight a sword." Su Clan’s Sixteen affirmed, "For example, after I overcome the Heavenly Tribulation, I can Blade Flight, or I can choose to fly on a sword, a staff, a hammer, or a whip. As long as it's a magic weapon with the [flying sword] attribute, I can use it to fly on Escape Light."

Upon hearing this, Song Shuhang breathed a sigh of relief—a knife for combat, a sword for flight, and if he could fly, there was absolutely no problem!

"There's a second question, Sixteen. If I condense 'Saber Intent,' will I be able to unleash 'sword energy' when I practice swordsmanship in the future?" Song Shuhang asked again.

I don't seek the Sword Intent; I only wish to unleash a single, powerful strike, with sword energy as swift as a rainbow.

Just have some fun!

"Hahaha." Su Clan’s Sixteen chuckled, "Saber Qi and sword energy, there's basically not much difference, right? For example, even if I'm using a sword, I can still use it to perform saber techniques and create Saber Qi. It seems there's no difference from sword energy, right?"

"That puts my mind at ease." Song Shuhang felt relieved.

So he grabbed the 'Saber Intent Tongxuan' and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Oh! Why did you swallow it all at once?" Su Clan’s Sixteen's eyes widened. "It will hurt a lot!"

She hadn't expected Song Shuhang to swallow it so suddenly; she had no time to stop him.

Each blade of grass embodies a faint "Saber Intent Saber Intent Tongxuan," making it seem as if it were a divine sword capable of splitting the heavens and earth. If one were to swallow it whole, it would feel like swallowing a sharp steel blade—very painful.

Su Clan’s Sixteen remembered that she always took "Saber Intent Tongxuan" only after using a special "medicinal liquid" to neutralize it.

Song Shuhang: "..."

Why can't he understand the saying "haste makes waste"?

The next moment, Shuhang felt as if his throat had been cut open; it hurt terribly.

The feeling was like a long, sharp blade stabbing into his throat and stomach, just like Sword Swallowing.

However, nowadays, most circus performances of "Sword Swallowing" use extendable swords. Real Sword Swallowing is a very dangerous thing.

Song Shuhang was covered in sweat, his face was pale, and he was clutching his throat with both hands.

"Are you alright?" Su Clan’s Sixteen asked worriedly.

Song Shuhang weakly reached out and shook his hand, indicating that he could still bear it. He tried to open his mouth to say something, but his throat was so painful that he couldn't utter a single word.

"Phew~" Song Shuhang let out a breath.

At this moment, his tongue trembled slightly, and a pure white lotus flower appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It is the extraordinary ability of her Lotus-Blossom Tongue.

Song Shuhang: "..."
