"This is the Sword-Washing Pool..."
Bai Yi gazed at the pool, over a hundred meters wide, in the center of the cave abode. Various swords and Spirit Ore soaked in its waters, and his eyes flickered faintly.
From within the Sword-Washing Pool, he could sense countless sharp edges streaming ceaselessly into the Sword Mountain at its center, as if being sacrificed.
Though it was only a miniature Sword-Washing Pool meant for one person, over the long ages of its evolution, faint wisps of immature Sword Intent had begun to rise from the Sword Mountain.
"Using swords as tombs, it tempers the Metal Nature in the Spirit Ore, gathering it all within the Sword Mountain."
"The interweaving of the Metal Nature and Spiritual Resonance of countless swords has even formed an artificial place where Sword Intent rises!"
Feeling the Sword Intent emanating from the Sword Mountain, Bai Yi's heart surged like a raging sea.
Sword Intent was the starting point for a Sword Cultivator's understanding of the Sword Dao. One could say that only by mastering Sword Intent could someone be considered a true Sword Cultivator.
Even so, Sword Cultivators who had reached Foundation Establishment or even the Golden Core Realm without mastering Sword Intent were everywhere.
Although the Sword Mountain before him only revealed an extremely faint trace of its aura, there was no doubt that it was the aura of Sword Intent.
Rather than requiring one to pursue an ethereal understanding of Sword Intent alone, the Sword Intent contained in this Sword Mountain clearly placed the threshold to the Sword Dao Realm right before a Sword Cultivator.
A Sword Cultivator with even a little talent for the Sword Dao could train in this pure Sword Intent and have a several-in-ten chance of truly stepping into the Sword Intent Realm.
