Innate Primordial Sword Physique (minor accomplishment) Sword Dao comprehension speed +1000% Sword Dao Divine Ability power +1000%
After Lin Xuan fully integrated the Innate Primordial Sword Physique, its enhancements truly gave him a huge shock.
A thousand-percent increase in the speed of comprehending Sword Dao True Intention!
A thousand-percent increase in the power of Sword Dao Divine Abilities!
How heaven-defying was that!
Was this a red heavenly destiny?
And this was only the Innate Primordial Sword Physique at minor accomplishment!
This was a little too heaven-defying.
Yet that was far from the most heaven-defying part.
Just as Lin Xuan tried to comprehend Sword Intent...
"Ding! Congratulations, host, on comprehending First Layer Sword Intent." "Ding! Congratulations, host, on comprehending Second Level Sword Intent." "Ding! Congratulations, host, on comprehending Third Level Sword Intent."
Third Level Sword Intent!
Lin Xuan was a sword cultivator, and all these years, he had been contemplating Sword Intent at every moment. Yet he had never comprehended even its embryonic form, let alone Sword Intent itself. That showed just how difficult comprehending Sword Dao True Intention was.
But now, he had comprehended Third Level Sword Intent in a mere instant...
What did Third Level Sword Intent mean?
Even in the Azure Yang Sword Sect, only one person had comprehended Sword Intent: its supreme elder, Ancestor Xuanjian.
And he had only comprehended First Layer Sword Intent.
Even the sect master of the Azure Yang Sword Sect had only comprehended Nascent Sword Intent, not true Sword Intent.
Now, Lin Xuan had not only comprehended Sword Intent, but Third Level Sword Intent at that!
Sword cultivators had always been renowned for their formidable killing power, and sword cultivators who had comprehended Sword Intent were people countless cultivators were unwilling to provoke.
A large part of the reason the Azure Yang Sword Sect ranked among the Tangqing Empire's ten great sects was that it had a peerless sword cultivator, Ancestor Xuanjian.
"Now, even against a true King Realm expert, I can put up a fight!"
A sharp light flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.
This was the absolute confidence the Innate Primordial Sword Physique, together with Third Level Sword Intent, had given him.
Of course, if anyone else learned of this thought, it would only draw ridicule.
A Tribulation Realm Seventh Layer cultivator fighting the King Realm?
What an outrageous joke!
The gap between the Tribulation Realm and the King Realm was like a heavenly chasm. Never mind a Tribulation Realm Seventh Layer cultivator—even someone at Tribulation Realm Ninth Layer Perfection would be casually suppressed by a true King Realm expert.
All beneath the King Realm were ants. That had never been just an empty saying.
Even ten cultivators at Tribulation Realm Ninth Layer Perfection could not match a single King Realm expert.
Time flew, and three months passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Lin Xuan had been refining the immense cultivation granted by the Six-Transformation Profound Spirit Pill.
In just three months, Lin Xuan's cultivation broke through from the Tribulation Realm Seventh Layer to Tribulation Realm Ninth Layer Perfection!
Returning to this level once more stirred a wealth of feelings in Lin Xuan.
Back then, his failure to break through to the King Realm had caused his cultivation to fall from Tribulation Realm Ninth Layer Perfection to the Tribulation Realm Seventh Layer.
He had thought he would struggle to reach this level again in his lifetime!
Yet he had never expected that, several years later, he would set foot in this realm once more!
He would attempt the King Realm again!
But unlike last time, Lin Xuan was brimming with confidence this time!
Over these three months, Lin Xuan's gains had gone far beyond this. His Sword Intent had also risen from the third level to the fourth!
He took the precious Nine-Pattern Great Dao Golden Pill out of his storage ring!
Next, he would not only attempt to reach the King Realm!
He would also enter it with multiple Great Daos!
The Great Dao Golden Pill could allow Lin Xuan to comprehend nine Great Daos. Using the terrifying Sword Dao comprehension speed granted by the Innate Primordial Sword Physique, he had also comprehended seven additional sword-related Great Daos, including the Fire Sword, Water Sword, and Ice Sword!
Together with the Lightning Sword and Wind Sword Great Daos he was currently comprehending, that made eighteen Great Daos.
Entering the King Realm with eighteen Great Daos-perhaps no one throughout the ages had ever accomplished that?
For an ordinary cultivator at Tribulation Realm Ninth Layer Perfection, comprehending even one Great Dao was immensely difficult, and comprehending a second was harder still.
Anyone who comprehended two Great Daos before entering the King Realm was outstanding among their peers.
A King Realm expert who entered with two Great Daos would be considerably stronger than one who had comprehended only a single Great Dao.
As for those who advanced to the King Realm with three or four Great Daos, they were even rarer, and the difficulty increased dozens or hundreds of times over.
Someone like Lin Xuan, who intended to enter the King Realm with eighteen Great Daos, was probably utterly unprecedented.
"Once I comprehend the Lightning Sword and Wind Sword, I'll begin attempting the King Realm!"
At that thought, Lin Xuan was already looking forward to what the scene would be like when he broke through to the King Realm.
Putting away the Great Dao Golden Pill for now, Lin Xuan took out the jade bottle containing the two Sword Intent Pills.
These two pills had originally been extremely precious, but they were of little use to Lin Xuan now.
He had already comprehended Third Level Sword Intent.
Sword Intent Pills merely helped those who took them comprehend First Layer Sword Intent.
After some thought, Lin Xuan decided to bestow them on Su Lianxin and Wang Yan.
Why Wang Yan, rather than the more talented Qu Youmeng?
Because Lin Xuan still could not trust her.
Although she had taken him as her master, the situation with the Heavenly Venerate's soul inside her remained unknown.
After summoning Wang Yan and Su Lianxin, Lin Xuan bestowed the two Sword Intent Pills on them.
After three months apart, their cultivation had soared as though riding a rocket, especially Su Lianxin, who possessed Ice Phoenix True Blood.
With a gold ninth-grade heavenly destiny and a Saint Grade Cultivation Method, their cultivation speed was easy to imagine.
In just three months, Su Lianxin had broken straight through from the ninth level of Body Refining to the Ninth Layer of Qi Gathering!
For the past three months, Su Lianxin had felt as though she were dreaming.
Everything felt so unreal.
Breaking through eight or nine levels in three months?
Ice Phoenix True Blood truly defied the heavens!
And there was the Azure Emperor Scripture her master had bestowed on her. Although she did not know its grade, it was definitely countless times stronger than the Azure Yang Sword Sect's cultivation method she had practiced before!
The more she cultivated, the more astonished Su Lianxin became. Just who was her master?
As for Wang Yan, his natural talent was nowhere near Su Lianxin's.
But practicing a Saint Grade Cultivation Method had still brought him considerable improvement.
In three months, he had broken through from merely the first layer of Qi Gathering to the Fifth Layer of Qi Gathering.
Lin Xuan was very satisfied with this.
In roughly another three months, the sect tournament would begin.
Lin Xuan did not care about empty fame, but the rewards for this sect tournament were extraordinary.
Especially those for the top three!
After receiving the Sword Intent Pills Lin Xuan bestowed on them, Wang Yan and Su Lianxin did not ask any further questions.
If Lin Xuan said nothing about the things he bestowed on them, they would not ask a single question. Both trusted him unconditionally.
These two Sword Intent Pills might let them comprehend Sword Intent before the sect tournament.
Even if they don't comprehend Sword Intent, they'll definitely comprehend Nascent Sword Intent.
It's hard to say for Wang Yan, but once Lianxin comprehends Nascent Sword Intent, she'll definitely place in the top three in this sect tournament.
If she comprehends Sword Intent, no one will be able to contend with her for first place.
Qu Youmeng, on the other hand, had spent little time on the peak over the past three months, returning only once or twice.
Her improvement was also the smallest among Lin Xuan's three disciples.
She had only advanced from the Earth Profound Third Layer to the fourth.
Well... that speed was not actually slow, but it depended on whom she was compared with.
Compared with Su Lianxin and Wang Yan, who practiced the Azure Emperor Scripture, it could be called incomparably slow.
Even Wang Yan, whose natural talent was inferior to hers, had improved far more than she had over these three months.
That was no exaggeration. After all, this was a Saint Grade Cultivation Method that surpassed even Thearch Grade!
Even its first level alone was beyond comparison with whatever Venerable Grade Cultivation Method Qu Youmeng practiced.
And clearly, she had not practiced the Saint Grade Cultivation Method Lin Xuan had bestowed on her, the Azure Emperor Scripture.
Still, that was her choice. Lin Xuan had given her the Cultivation Method; whether she practiced it was her own business.
He just wondered what expression she would wear when, one day, she suddenly discovered that Su Lianxin and Wang Yan, who had been far inferior to her not long ago, had surpassed her before long.
Next, Lin Xuan continued his secluded cultivation, contemplating the Lightning Sword and Wind Sword.
But less than two days into his seclusion, an unexpected visitor arrived at Starfall Peak.
The Peak Master of Heavenly Origin Peak.
