“The sneak attack you used with the Fire Dragon Sword just now was another way of using sword intent, right? ” Jian Xin said.
Zhou Yun raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect that the enlightenment that dawned upon him after thinking long and hard would strike Jian Xin after being sneak attacked once.
It seemed that Jian Xin was indeed a natural sword spiritual body, and he had comprehended the perfect sword intent at the early-stage foundation establishment. He had reached the great stage of the golden core before he died. Zhou Yun was very curious as to how far Jian Xin’s sword Dao had advanced!
“That’s right. I’ve completely concealed the Fire Sword Intent in the body of the Fire Dragon Sword. That’s how I could completely shield it.” Zhou Yun revealed his secret.
Although Zhou Yun’s words were very simple, they would inevitably cause a stir in the cultivation world if it was heard by the outside world!
One of the reasons why people with sword intent were the most powerful in the offense was because sword intent could provide early warning to sword cultivators at all times!
It was like an all-directional danger radar!
Even if he was a foundation establishment cultivator who had just reached the moderate stage of sword intent, his sword intent could still tell him the general direction of the attack when he was attacked by a golden core grand cultivator! From this, one could see how terrifying the sword intent was!
However, Zhou Yun was actually able to hide his sword while attacking Jian Xin, who was an innate sword spiritual body. It sounded like a fantasy story!
Zhou Yun wiped his mouth. After he finished all the spiritual fruits on the ground and the last mouthful of spiritual spring water, he raised the Fire Dragon Sword.
“In that case, I’ll have to trouble Junior Brother Zhou Yun to demonstrate for me.” Jian Xin said to Zhou Yun, his eyes filled with anticipation.
“Condense.” Zhou Yun lifted the Fire Dragon Sword and slowly infused the berserk Fire Dragon Sword Intent into the sword body.
“To be able to calm the violent sword intent like a calm lake, Junior Brother Zhou Yun, your control of spiritual energy is no less than the control of a golden core cultivator!” Jian Xin clicked his tongue in wonder, full of praise!
But Jian Xin didn’t know that in reality, Zhou Yun could have broken through to the mid-stage foundation establishment a long time ago.
However, the reason why he didn’t choose to break through was because his original spiritual energy was ten times that of an ordinary cultivator! After two months of constant fighting and consuming spiritual fruits and spiritual spring water, Zhou Yun had slowly gained refined control over all his spiritual power!
It could extend as thin as a hair, and it could be as hard as metal or stone. Zhou Yun was already able to control his own spiritual energy to the smallest degree!
Since he had been imprisoned by others, Zhou Yun had already decided that every time he broke through, he would raise his strength to the strongest level before breaking through!
At the same time, he had to hide his strength.
This was the only way he could counterattack when the heretic cultivator thought that he was not strong enough!
In fact, Zhou Yun had deliberately used his spiritual energy on unimportant areas in the battle just now. His entire spiritual energy was not even one-tenth of his total spiritual energy! He even deliberately reduced his combat power for the Fire Sword Intent!
The strength that Zhou Yun had displayed in front of Jian Xin had been slowly adjusted over the past two months as he slowly became stronger. Now, the strength that he was displaying was less than half of his own strength!
“Form!” Zhou Yun opened his eyes. At this moment, he had already channeled all of his Fire Sword Intent into the Fire Dragon Sword!
However, on the Fire Dragon Sword, there was no heat at all. Even the originally cool-looking sword’s veined patterns had dimmed.
At this moment, the Fire Dragon Sword seemed to be like the regular spiritual swords that could be seen everywhere on the roadside. It was completely unremarkable. If one didn’t see its existence and wanted to sense its aura, one would only be able to feel a burst of air!
The Fire Dragon Sword had completely disappeared!
Zhou Yun placed the Fire Dragon Sword in front of Jian Xin, allowing him to examine it.
“Junior Brother Zhou Yun, I’ve been cultivating the sword for more than twenty years. This is the first time I’ve admired another person’s sword Dao. If I hadn’t died, I would’ve walked the sword Dao with you. I’m sure it would be a great pleasure!” Jian Xin’s face was filled with joy, but his eyes were filled with regret.
“To be able to turn the sword intent, which itself represents attack, into an existence that can hide its aura. I have to say, Junior Brother Zhou Yun, your way of thinking has already surpassed my imagination.” Jian Xin seemed to have seen a treasure as it observed the Fire Dragon Sword.
At the same time, Jian Xin also helped Zhou Yun raise many questions according to his understanding. Zhou Yun agreed while sighing that the sword spiritual body was indeed blessed by the heavens in the sword Dao. His answers enlightened Zhou Yun. It was almost equivalent to Zhou Yun’s sudden enlightenment!
“Alright, Junior Brother Zhou Yun. Let’s rest for today and continue tomorrow.” After a long time, Jian Xin left feeling satisfied.
Zhou Yun heaved a sigh of relief as he watched Jian Xin leave.
In fact, Zhou Yun had already discovered these problems. It was just that in order to hide it, he deliberately didn’t show it completely.
“We’ll have to fight again tomorrow. I have to say that there’s an endless supply of spiritual stones and natural treasures here. I don’t need to worry about resources anymore, and my cultivation speed is even faster than when I was in Spirit Valley!” Although Zhou Yun had been fighting to the death with Jian Xin every day for the past two months, he had also grown rapidly!
“I wonder how the Spirit Valley is doing. Including Su Lingyun, all the chief disciples of the five sects must have died here.” Zhou Yun sighed with emotion. With this, a gap was about to appear in the top inheritances of the five sects.
However, Zhou Yun still felt that he was lucky. It was a good thing that he had asked Qiao’er and Su Wanyi to wait outside at the beginning.
If Qiao’er and Su Wanyi followed him, the two of them would be of no use to the heretic cultivators. They would have probably become materials for the spiritual corpse.
“Qiao’er, it’s good that you’re fine.” Zhou Yun shook his head. The person he was most concerned about in Spirit Valley was Qiao’er. If this girl knew that he had been taken away by a heretic cultivator, she would probably come to save him like crazy.
In fact, if one were to think about it in a bad way, this girl might even die for love!
“Sect Leader Ling Qingyun and Senior Sister Su Wanyi, you have to help me look after that silly girl Qiao’er.” After Zhou Yun muttered this in his heart, he sat cross-legged and started cultivating.
He had been in the perfection of the early-stage foundation Establishment for too long. There was no room for improvement at this stage, so he had to be prepared to break through.
At this moment, Spirit Valley, which was originally a leisurely paradise, was completely enveloped in a serious atmosphere!
The sect leader’s hall in Spirit Valley was filled with people from five different camps.
No one spoke, and the atmosphere was so tense that it was terrifying!
“Sect leader! Sect leader! Qiao’er, who had entered the death zone two months ago, had successfully come out alive! Sect leader!” Suddenly, a voice came from outside the sect leader’s hall.
After Su Wanyi ran into the sect leader’s hall, her voice stopped abruptly because she was in the sect leader’s hall. The sect leaders of the five sects and the dozens of elders behind them were all staring at her!
