Chapter 107

Chapter 107: Sword Marks of Slaughter, Imprint of Rebirth!

The voice of the system resounded in the mind.

Though the tone was as usual, nothing particularly stood out, but the content this time was like thunder.

It directly left Meng Changqing dumbfounded!

God knew what he heard.

Sword Intent… embryonic form?

But the legendary supreme Sword Intent?!

Meng Changqing’s pupils contracted, his eyes showing astonishment.

Both of his hands couldn’t help but clench!

If it weren’t for considering that he was standing in front of the Elder, he might have lost his composure on his face.

But inside, he started to feel thrilled.

Good heavens!

He merely wanted to obtain the “Sacred Spirit Slaughter Sword Art” from the Elder, but unexpectedly triggered an additional reward.

And the additional reward was the more precious embryonic form of Sword Intent!

How many sword cultivators dreamt of such a thing!

Even the hidden big shot before him, the comprehension he had was only regarding Sword Qi!

Up to now, he still hadn’t stepped into the realm of true intent!

One could imagine how difficult it was.

He took a deep breath.

Meng Changqing suppressed the waves in his heart.

He tried to calm himself down.

Right now, he needed to hurry back, be alone, and then absorb what he had gained!

“Don’t get too excited. Old me is just a guardian Elder now.”

Seeing Meng Changqing’s somewhat excited appearance, Yun Bujue smiled and said, “There won’t be too many benefits if you call me a brother or friend, and even if there are, you must have the strength to take them.”

Meng Changqing was speechless immediately.

He really wanted to say, “Elder, you’ve misunderstood.”

“By the way, you’ve already practiced the ‘Sacred Spirit Slaughter Sword Technique’ to an introductory level. Obviously, you understand the situation of the Sword Technique. Moving forward, you’ll need a lot of Qi of life and death. There aren’t so many demonic martial practitioners outside for you to kill, and you can’t indiscriminately commit slaughter,” Yun Bujue said.

Meng Changqing’s eyes flickered slightly.

This was the truth, and it was also what he was worried about.

After all, without this process, it would be difficult to explain his proficiency in the Sword Technique in the future.

And when the fusion happened later, that would be a mastery level attainment.

“So, go to the Punishment Peak.

“There are heavenly prisons and earthly prisons there, detaining many demonic martial practitioners.

“Their Qi of life and death is very strong.

“As long as you have confidence, go and kill. When you encounter guards, just mention my name.

“I’m named Yun Bujue.”

Yun Bujue lightly stroked his white beard, as if this name also reminded him of some past memories.

“Alright, thank you, Elder.” Meng Changqing nodded.

As for the name, he had already known it through the panel.

“Then I’ll leave first. I need to go back and contemplate.”  Meng Changqing clasped his hands together.

Then he turned into a sword light and disappeared quickly.

“This kid, every time he appears, he brings surprises.” Yun Bujue withdrew his gaze, looked at the head of the elder on the ground, and couldn’t help but nod.

As mentioned earlier, overcoming the difference in great realms was not so easy.

Even he couldn’t do it.

And the top geniuses of various veins, at most, could only fight evenly with those who had just entered the realm of enlightenment.

To want to kill them was too difficult.

The gap between True Qi and True Essence was indeed a huge mountain.

“But only by doing so, can one gain the recognition of that person.

“The great people of the past and present can’t succeed without luck.

“The road to supremacy is even more so.”

Yun Bujue murmured.

—

Returning to the Spirit Peak, Meng Changqing quickly entered the attic.

Then he sat cross-legged.

After taking a deep breath, his whole person finally calmed down completely.

Then he summoned the character panel.

【Host: Meng Changqing】

【Race: Human】

【Cultivation: Seventh level of the Sea Cleaving Realm】

【Root Bone: Second grade】

【Comprehension: Excellent】

【Talent: Spirit Eyes, Skillful Hands…】

【Bloodline: Stone Human Bloodline, Great Strength Demon Ape】

【Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills: “Great Transcendent Mystical Golden Sword Technique” (Perfection), “Heavenly Cloud Roaming Dragon Steps” (Entry), “Linglong Daluo Tian” (Fifth Layer), “Dark Sea Returning to Origin Technique” (Fifth Layer)…】

【Unfused Attributes: None】

【Remaining Rewards: Attribute Selection Card *1, Earth Grade Martial Skill Proficiency Card *3, Sword Intent Embryo】

Seeing the last part, especially those three words, Meng Changqing couldn’t help but feel waves rising in his heart again.

There was no way.

This was something he couldn’t suppress.

After all, it was Sword Intent!

The legendary essence of martial arts, the highest realm pursued by countless martial artists throughout history!

Even if it’s just an embryonic form, it crossed the threshold of true intent!

“Once the embryonic form of Sword Intent is fused, how exaggerated will the increase in my strength be?” Meng Changqing thought in his heart.

The improvement in sword qi already increased his power by more than ten times.

Then wouldn’t the Sword Intent be?

And the enhancement of Sword Intent was not so straightforward. It seemed to contain even more mysterious things.

As for what exactly it was, he didn’t know.

There was no record in the ancient books he had read before.

He estimated that only those who have truly experienced it can know.

He didn’t fuse the sword intent immediately.

It might be due to previous habits – good things were always put aside.

“System, use an attribute selection card.

“Fuse the martial skill attribute of Elder Yun Bujue: ‘Sacred Spirit Slaughter Sword Technique’!”

Meng Changqing said.

Ding!

【Consuming one attribute selection card!】

【Acquiring attribute: ‘Sacred Spirit Slaughter Sword Technique’ (Mastery)】

【Would you like to fuse immediately?】

“Fuse!”

Ding!

【Fusion begins!】

As soon as the words fell, an incomparably majestic flow of information surged in his mind.

It far exceeded any previous time!

Kill, kill, kill!

Every piece of information, every strand of comprehension, seemed to be filled with boundless murderous intent!

Fortunately, the system came with purification and is immune to all side effects, just like when fusing bloodlines at the beginning.

Otherwise, without an extremely strong mental will, he wouldn’t hold up.

This fusion lasted for half an hour.

Meng Changqing slowly opened his eyes!

Boom!

In an instant, Meng Changqing’s temperament seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

It was as if the lord of slaughter had descended!

With just one glance, it could cause mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

The terrifying killing intent made the entire attic tremble.

Raising his right hand, two fingers formed a sword.

There was a gray light flickering at the fingertips.

Within it seemed to be a terrifying power, once released, it could destroy everything!

Crack!

The ground couldn’t hold it, constantly shattering, extending all the way to the door before finally stopping.

It’s worth noting that the buildings on the Spirit Peak were made of special materials, extremely hard.

Yet he merely lifted his hand.

Merely released a hint of power, and it made these buildings unable to withstand it.

One could imagine how powerful it would be if fully unleashed.

“No wonder it’s a high-grade earth-grade sword technique, second only to heaven-level existence.

“It’s also the best among its peers!”

Meng Changqing put down his hand, quickly suppressing all his aura and returning to a calm state.

He didn’t dare to use it in the sect, or in here for that matter. Otherwise, the aura would be too great, inviting unnecessary trouble.

He just got the “Sacred Spirit Slaughter Sword Technique” this morning, and it’s already at the mastery level in the evening?

Similar to the “Great Transcendent Mystical Golden Sword Technique,” the “Sacred Spirit Slaughter Sword Technique” was also a top-tier existence at the same level.

Its power was extremely formidable.

But due to the difficulty in cultivation, many people shy away from it.

After all, it required too much slaughter.

And the most critical point was,, it’s very hard to bear the immense slaughter’s impact.

If it’s just about slaughter, many people could do it, just slaughter until it becomes numb. But to introduce the aura of slaughter into one’s body, that’s a very dangerous thing to do.

It’s akin to roasting one’s mental will on a fire every day. If one carelessly relaxed for a day, the consequence was falling into demonic path.

Before reaching the introductory level of this sword technique, it’s still okay, the slaughter wasn’t too much.

But afterward, the number was really too shocking.

Tens of thousands was just a start!

The ultimate completion was probably going to require a monstrous slaughter to achieve!

Meng Changqing felt that Yun Bujue probably hadn’t perfected it for reasons besides comprehension. Perhaps he didn’t dare to continue practicing it, or he didn’t have a way of slaughtering.

After all, as a righteous force, besides slaying demonic cultivators and demonic beasts, it’s impossible to indiscriminately commit slaughter.

“Among the disciples of the Spirit Peak, I’m afraid I’m the only one practicing this.” Meng Changqing looked at his fingertips and the back of his hand.

At the fingertips was a trace of sword marks, emitting a terrifying aura, while the back of his hand had turned into a pure white lozenge-shaped imprint, full of vitality.

The previous black-and-white Tai Chi pattern disappeared.

It was now divided into sword marks and lozenge-shaped imprint.

This was also a sign of the completion of the sword technique!

Taking a deep breath, Meng Changqing withdrew his attention and looked at the last part of the panel.

Next, the most important thing was about to begin!
