Comprehension and Advancement

As a gentle rain began to fall from the sky, Ling Feng stretched out his hand and caught a drop of rainwater.

Feeling the Profound Water Sword Intent contained within the raindrop, he was full of praise.

"The Profound Water Sword Intent changes endlessly. Soft yet unyielding, it combines hardness and softness and is everywhere."

"It truly is a fine Sword Intent, but its only flaw is that its power is too scattered.

"It is everywhere without distinction, making its effects far too slow."

"It may seem powerful and impossible to counter, but that is also its fatal weakness!"

With that, Ling Feng curled his fingers, bringing his middle finger and thumb together before flicking lightly.

Bang!

Ling Feng's finger struck the blade of the Profound Water Broken Sword, dispersing all the Profound Water Sword Intent contained within it.

He infused the rainwater with his own supreme Sword Intent, completely dissolving the Profound Water Sword Intent within it.

After dispersing the Profound Water Sword Intent, Ling Feng gently took the broken sword from the Profound Water Broken Sword Master's hand and planted it back into the ground.

As the broken sword returned to the earth, the Profound Water Broken Sword Master vanished with it.

Qian Renxue's eyes shone brightly.

She had seen Ling Feng's Sword Intent.

It was a Sword Intent that surged forward without pause, shattered everything in its way, and stood invincible against all.

Qian Renxue seemed to see Ling Feng holding a sword as he walked straight out of primordial chaos, the Sword Qi around him forming a world of its own.

His Sword Intent pierced the heavens, and nothing could stand in its way.

In an instant, Qian Renxue comprehended a Sword Heart from Ling Feng's Sword Intent. Entering the Dao through the sword, her Soul Power Level reached forty.

A vast surge of Soul Power erupted from within her body, flowing through her limbs and bones and striking her Spiritual Platform.

The moment Qian Renxue comprehended the Sword Dao, she forged a Sword Heart.

An aura thirty to forty percent similar to Ling Feng's radiated from her body.

At that moment, Qian Renxue felt that she could directly communicate with every sword here.

Every sword was connected to her heart. She could sense their unwillingness to remain planted in this sword field, their yearning for a new sword master to draw them forth, restore their former glory, and lead them into battle.

From every sword, Qian Renxue seemed to see the figures of their previous masters.

Before her eyes, they demonstrated the sword techniques and Sword Intents they had cultivated throughout their lives.

Qian Renxue comprehended all the sword techniques and Sword Intents they demonstrated in an instant.

With the aid of their various Sword Intents, her Sword Heart gradually solidified and took shape.

Unlike Ling Feng's Sword Heart, which pressed forward without hesitation, Qian Renxue's Sword Heart had been forged with the aid of the Infinite Sword Field. It encompassed all things, integrating the Sword Intents of every sword master within the Infinite Sword Field.

Of course, although Qian Renxue's Sword Heart encompassed all things, it was still inferior to Ling Feng's Sword Heart that advanced without pause.

Ling Feng's Sword Heart not only carried the resolve to press forward, but also the conviction that within the sword, he was invincible.

Seeing that Qian Renxue had merely watched him exchange Sword Intents with the Profound Water Broken Sword Master once before instantly comprehending a Sword Heart and breaking through to Soul Power Level forty, Ling Feng could not help but be astonished.

Her talent in the Sword Dao was no less impressive than his own.

As expected of Qian Renxue, the person with the greatest cultivation talent in the entire story.

In the original story, even after spending twenty years as an undercover agent in the Heaven Dou Empire and having her cultivation talent buried for a full twenty years, she had still become a god with ease.

"Let me lend you a hand!"

At the critical moment when Qian Renxue was condensing her Sword Heart, Ling Feng suddenly spoke.

Then he clenched his hand and released his Sword Dao Domain.

The Sword Intents within the Infinite Sword Field immediately rose to their peak.

Endless Sword Intents emerged from the Infinite Sword Field and flowed into Qian Renxue's body like countless rivers returning to the sea.

They accelerated the formation of her Sword Heart, allowing her to reach the Sword Heart Realm.

The Sword Heart Realm was one realm within the Sword Dao System created by Ling Feng.

The Sword Dao Cultivation System Ling Feng created was divided into nine stages.

The first stage was Sword. A sword was a physical object, but it could also be a martial soul.

The second stage was Sword Heart. Once one entered this realm, the Sword Dao underwent a fundamental transformation. One's methods of attack became complex and varied, and this realm served as the foundation for all subsequent realms.

The third stage was Sword Qi. At this stage, one could condense qi into a sword, making one's attacks complex, varied, and difficult to guard against.

The fourth stage was Sword Gang. Sword Qi became Sword Gang, capable of both offense and defense. With every swing of the sword, one could move mountains and overturn seas.

The fifth stage was Sword Consciousness. This marked another level of realm, allowing one to grant a sword intelligence and make it one's right-hand aide.

The sixth stage was Sword Intent, the will of the sword and the mark of a swordsman.

The seventh stage was Sword Light. This stage was quite unique, as one had begun to take an unorthodox path, abandoning defense in exchange for offense.

The eighth stage was Sword Radiance. Upon reaching this realm, no sword strike in the world could be defended against or evaded.

The final stage was Man and Sword as One. Upon reaching this realm, one could turn all things into swords. Wherever the heart pointed, the sword would arrive.

As her Sword Heart took shape, a sharp energy erupted from Qian Renxue's body.

Even her originally holy and pure angelic energy had fused with the sharpness of the Sword Dao.

Seeing that Qian Renxue's Sword Heart had successfully formed with his help, Ling Feng withdrew his hand.

He dispelled the Sword Dao Domain and allowed the Infinite Sword Field to return to normal.

The Infinite Sword Field gradually settled down, and Qian Renxue slowly opened her eyes.

A sharp gleam flashed through them, like a sword.

Feeling the changes in her Soul Power, Qian Renxue pondered briefly.

Then, with a thought, she directly summoned the Juque Sword.

Holding the Juque Sword, Qian Renxue used her Sword Heart to communicate with it. She sensed everything about the Juque Sword, connected with it in heart and mind, and made it a part of herself.

At the same time, she attempted to comprehend the terrifying Sword Intent of the Juque Sword that swept across all directions with a single strike.

As Qian Renxue continued to deepen her communication with it, a Sword Intent that swept across all directions surged from the Juque Sword.

Carried along by that Sword Intent, Qian Renxue began to dance with the Juque Sword in hand.

She was faintly on the verge of comprehending Sword Qi.

Seeing this, Ling Feng was once again astonished by the heights of Qian Renxue's talent.

"Let me lend you another hand!"

As he spoke, Ling Feng casually flicked out several sword fingers, activating three swords for her.

He had three sword masters practice with her, helping her temper her Sword Heart, condense Sword Qi, and enter the Sword Qi Realm.

The three longswords were activated, and three figures instantly emerged from them.

Holding longswords in their hands, they each announced their names before sparring with Qian Renxue using only their pure Sword Intents and sword techniques.

Of the three sword masters Ling Feng had carefully selected for Qian Renxue, one was Swift Sword, one was Heavy Sword, and the last was Transforming Sword.

After several exchanges, they discovered that Qian Renxue's talent in the Sword Dao far exceeded their expectations.

The three of them could not help but reveal looks of astonishment.

Qian Renxue's talent in the Sword Dao was the best they had ever seen. They all treasured such a promising talent, so none of them held back.

Under their assault, their moves became increasingly sharp and varied.

The more they admired her, the more miserably Qian Renxue was beaten by their combined attacks.

Swift Sword was faster than her, and she could not defend against him.

Heavy Sword was stronger than her, and she did not dare clash with him head-on.

Transforming Sword could dissolve both her sword techniques and Sword Intent.

Qian Renxue was forced back step by step by the combined attacks of the three, yet amid their sharp and relentless offensive, she gained new insights.

A sword was not meant for blind defense. If one only defended, one would only be beaten.

Furthermore, a sword had to pursue both strength and speed.

As a sword slid through the air, its blade cut through the air, and the severed air briefly retained its sharpness.

Qian Renxue hazily entered a mysterious and profound state.

Within that mysterious state, Qian Renxue vaguely saw an invisible sharpness.

This invisible sharpness was a kind of qi, completely different from the qi condensed from Soul Power.

This qi was everywhere. It could be unleashed and moved at will, while remaining incomparably sharp.

Vaguely, Qian Renxue felt as though she was about to grasp it.
