Chapter 104: Sword Intent and Swordsman

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

The jade slip Zhou Mubai had left him said that it contained some experiences and insights.

However, when Chen Daoxuan looked at it carefully, he realized that Zhou Mubai’s analysis of Sword Dao was quite detailed. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a Sword Dao inheritance.

The jade slip introduced the history of Sword Principle in the Infinite Star Sea at the beginning.

In reality.

A thousand years ago, the Qian Yuan Sword Sect hadn’t risen to rule the Infinite Star Sea yet.

The cultivators of the infinite Star Sea used all kinds of magic tools.

Some used spirit rulers, some used seals, some used whips, and some even used hammers.

There were all kinds of magic tools.

However, the reason why the cultivators of the Infinite Star Sea were using the same kind of magic tools was that more than 90% of the offensive magic tools were flying swords.

Rather than saying that he was influenced by the Qian Yuan Sword Sect, it would be better to say that he was afraid of being beaten up by the Qian Yuan Sword Sect.

It was human instinct to learn from the strong, and cultivators were no exception.

After countless battles in which the Qian Yuan Sword Sect ruled the Infinite Star Sea, the Heavenly Sword Sect had been defeated.

The cultivators of the Infinite Star Sea had thoroughly understood the terror of sword xiu. It was during that period that they were known as the number one sword xiu in terms of offense among their peers.

As for the Qian Yuan Sword Sect.

There was a strict standard for the division of Sword Dao realms.

This standard was sword intent.

In short.

Those who comprehended sword essence were sword cultivators.

Otherwise, it was not.

However, for cultivators who had comprehended sword intent, there was naturally a difference between a Foundation Establishment cultivator comprehending sword intent and a Zifu Disciple comprehending sword intent.

This was related to the tempering of the sword intent towards true essence and magic power.

Why was a Swordsman called the best among his peers?

He relied on his True Essence and Dharmic powers that were stronger than cultivators of the same level after being tempered by sword intent.

If one had to compare it, it was somewhat like when a cultivator reached the foundation establishment stage, the attribute cultivation technique would increase the power of true essence.

However, there was a huge difference.

This was because the true essence and magic power that had been tempered by the sword intent could also be used to cultivate attributed cultivation techniques.

This meant that a sword cultivator’s true essence and magic power were always stronger than cultivators of the same level.

The basic Quintessential Essence and Dharmic powers were stronger, and sword cultivators naturally stood at the height of being looked up to by cultivators of the same level.

Not to mention that Swordsmen had unparalleled sword techniques.

The power of all kinds of sword scriptures was shocking.

This was also the reason why Zhou Mubai was able to heavily injure the late-stage Purple Prefecture Master of the merfolk clan with just a cultivation level of the first level of the Purple Prefecture Realm.

If it was an ordinary cultivator.

Let alone a first-level Zifu Disciple being a match for a late-stage Zifu Disciple, it would already be quite good if he could survive.

The more advanced a cultivator was, the greater the difference between the early and late stages.

For example, Chen Daoxuan was able to kill an early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator at the late-stage of the Aura Refining realm.

However, very few Foundation Establishment cultivators were able to kill Zifu Disciples.

Not to mention the cross-realm killing.

It was almost impossible.

It was even extremely difficult to kill enemies who were of a higher cultivation level.

Generally speaking, if you could cross a small realm and remain undefeated, it meant that your actual combat ability far exceeded that of cultivators of the same cultivation level.

This was obvious.

How terrifying was Zhou Mubai’s battle record back then?

Back then, if the merman clan leader had run slower, or if Zhou Mubai had disregarded his injuries and insisted on chasing after him, he would have been killed.

Luo Li’s father would probably be in a tragic situation.

In the courtyard.

Chen Daoxuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the warm jade futon, looked down.

The tempering of sword intent usually started from the Foundation Establishment stage.

Refining Quintessential Essence into Sword Origin.

Sword Origin was actually a special title that sword cultivators gave to their sword essence after tempering their true essence.

Zhou Mubai even mentioned it in the jade scroll.

Legend had it that if a cultivator’s comprehension and talent in the way of the sword were heaven-defying and could comprehend sword essence at the meditational level, then he would have one more chance to temper himself than other sword cultivators.

However, even if there really was a cultivator with such heaven-defying talent, Zhou Mubai wouldn’t recommend him to do so.

This was because the biggest obstacle for a Qi Condensation cultivator to build their foundation was to expand their Sea of Qi.

In order to expand the Sea of Qi, a Qi Condensation cultivator must ensure that his true qi is extremely calm.

Even cultivating elemental cultivation techniques would reduce the success rate of building a foundation, let alone the true qi after tempering.

When a cultivator used a Foundation Establishment Pill, it would make the transformed true essence less violent.

If there was a Qi Condensation cultivator with heaven-defying talent who used sword intent to refine his genuine Qi at the Qi Condensation stage, when his special genuine Qi transformed into genuine yuan, the degree of violence would be no less than the genuine yuan refined by a Foundation Building sword cultivator.

How could a Qi Condensation cultivator’s Dantian and Sea of Qi withstand such pressure?

The only ending was…

Before the violent true qi could completely transform into true essence, the dantian qi sea was directly exploded.

It would be a joke to expand the Sea of Qi.

In the jade scroll.

Zhou Mubai only sighed slightly at the existence of this kind of sword cultivator.

After all, Zhou Mubai was a sword cultivator himself. He had no expectations of the ultimate level that a sword cultivator could reach in theory.

It was definitely a lie.

Not to mention Zhou Mubai.

When Chen Daoxuan saw his introduction, he couldn’t help but have a longing for this kind of sword cultivator.

Over the past two years.

Chen Daoxuan spent the most time comprehending on Sword Dao.

It could be said that he had already made it clear that he would walk the path of a Swordsman in the future.

At the very least, the path of sword cultivation would be his main path in the future.

As for the other branches, they could only be considered the products of his leisure and elegance.

In addition, he was now half a step away from comprehending sword essence.

He was only a step away from comprehending sword essence.

It was completely possible for him to achieve what Zhou Mubai had said, to comprehend sword essence at the Qi Condensation stage.

However, in order to become a legendary sword cultivator, comprehending sword essence at the Qi Condensation stage was only the most basic requirement.

Foundation Establishment was the biggest obstacle.

Of course.

Foundation Establishment was difficult, but the benefits one could obtain after Foundation Establishment were also great.

Once such a cultivator succeeded in building his foundation, it meant that he could use his sword intent to temper his true qi and true essence once in both the meditational and foundational levels.

His foundation was more solid than other sword cultivators. No one in the same level could compare to him in terms of true essence and magic power.

One had to know.

Cultivators did not seek to be strong just because they were brave and ruthless.

Instead, it had practical significance.

This practical significance was reflected when a cultivator broke through to the Aurous Core Stage.

Why was it rumored that Zhou Mubai had a higher chance of breaking through to the Golden Core stage than Patriarch Zhou, a peak Zifu Disciple?

The reason was his strength!

Aurous Core Stage cultivators were different from the other cultivators.

When a cultivator broke through to the Aurous Core stage, they would face the first heavenly tribulation in their cultivation life, which was also known as the Aurous Core tribulation.

At this time, if the cultivation technique that the cultivator cultivated was the kind that was easy to cultivate in the early stages and easy to break through.

Then the chances of passing the Golden Core Tribulation would be minuscule.

The more comfortable it was in the early stages, the more miserable it was when he broke through to the Golden Core realm.

This was also the reason why cultivators were only recognized as high-level cultivators after reaching the Aurous Core stage.

Only Golden Core cultivators had faced the might of heaven and knew how terrifying it was.

After transcending the tribulation.

The mental state of a Golden Core cultivator was often very different from before.

Swordsmen, on the other hand, were the strongest among their peers due to their tyrannical strength.

Their chances of passing the Golden Core Tribulation were much higher.

As long as the sword xiu did not seek death, they would basically be able to safely pass the Golden Core tribulation..
