The night grew deeper.
After Yan Cangtian escorted Ling Feng back to his residence, he went straight back to his Spiritual Medicine Garden.
He was ready to use the black donkey’s hair to start in-depth research.
Regarding Yan Cangtian’s actions, Ling Feng could only pray that the divine spirits would bless this Alchemist Maniac.
"While it’s still dark, I should refine the Sword Enlightenment Stone first."
Ling Feng took out the seven-inch Sword Enlightenment Stone and submerged his Divine Sense into it, immediately shocked by the pure and immense Sword Intent within.
To comprehend Sword Intent through the Sword Enlightenment Stone gave a direct feeling, which was not only marginally stronger but ten to eight times more intense compared to the sliver of Sword Intent he felt that day at the Sword Stele!
"Such pure Sword Intent, I wonder how this Sword Enlightenment Stone was formed!"
A huge wave surged in Ling Feng’s heart, but he quickly calmed down.
Now was not the time to be emotional. It was crucial to absorb the Sword Dao Enlightenment from the Sword Enlightenment Stone.
In his Sea of Consciousness, the Sword Embryo of Slaughter Sword Intent seemed to sense the surging Sword Intent and became extremely excited.
It was like a hungry infant detecting the taste of mother’s milk.
As time passed, the Sword Embryo continued to condense, becoming more refined and purer, and the shape of the Sword Blade became increasingly distinct.
Ling Feng had reason to believe that if there were enough Sword Enlightenment Stones, he might be able to elevate his Slaughter Sword Intent to a considerable level.
According to the explanations by the Devil Instructor, Leng Jianfeng, the Sword Dao was divided into three realms.
Sword Intent, Sword Intent, Sword Domain!
Each realm was divided into five levels: Entry-level, Small Success, Great Success, Perfection, and Great Perfection.
Ling Feng was only at the stage of having formed a Sword Embryo, barely qualifying as Half-step Sword Intent, and he hadn’t even reached the Entry-level.
Once he stepped into the Entry-level, with the characteristics of Slaughter Sword Intent, he could completely rival ordinary Great Accomplishment Sword Intent.
Ling Feng concentrated intensely. His mind seemed to arrive at a mysterious canyon.
The canyon appeared to have been split in two by a Heavenly Sword, with a turbulent river flowing endlessly and powerfully within!
And within the canyon lingered an incredibly formidable Sword Intent, lingering persistently.
Ling Feng had heard from Yan Cangtian that these Sword Enlightenment Stones came from a place called the Divine Sword Canyon. The scene he "saw" in his mind was probably the conception contained in this Sword Enlightenment Stone.
Ling Feng’s mind and spirit united, the Sword Embryo continually absorbed the surging Sword Dao Enlightenment, evolving bit by bit, growing stronger!
Finally, a terrifying aura burst forth from the Sword Embryo.
This aura swept crazily through Ling Feng’s Sea of Consciousness and almost in that instant, rendered Ling Feng’s mind completely blank!
Suddenly, the raging river in the scene seemed to pause, with water droplets splattering in mid-air, lingering for a long time, and the surrounding breeze also vanished, leaving dead silence.
An incomparably fierce Sword Intent soared into the sky, reaching the clouds.
"Sword Intent, achieved!"
In Ling Feng’s spiritual world, he swiftly drew his sword and slashed, severing all the scenes in his mind, leaving behind only one, a shocking will!
That was it, Slaughter Sword Intent!
A crisp Sword Sound rippled through the air, invisible to the eye.
It was the Ten Directions Annihilation within Ling Feng’s body that emitted a jubilant sound.
Finally, his eyes opened, and the void trembled as if it was a treasure sword covered in dust for a hundred years, shocking the world once unsheathed!
This was Ling Feng’s Sword Intent, the Sword Intent that defied the world!
Once the Sword Intent was complete, his entire Sword Dao Accomplishment reached an unprecedented peak.
He even felt that with the sword in his hand, he could shatter the Nine Heavens and pierce through the Xinghe!
"What a powerful feeling!"
The Half-step Slaughter Sword Intent was vastly different from the Entry-level Slaughter Sword Intent; the strength was incomparable.
No wonder this Slaughter Sword Intent was known as one of the three most powerful Sword Intents in the world.
The men living in the Tianshu East Courtyard got up early to wash up, but each one had dark circles under their eyes as if they hadn’t rested well.
"Damn, what’s going on? I thought it was just me."
Ouyang Jing noticed that all his brothers had dark circles and couldn’t help but ask, "Could it be that you guys also had nightmares?"
"Yes, from midnight on, I had nightmares all night, it was terrifying!" Feng Mo said while washing his face with the ice-cold well water and continued to complain, "I seemed to dream about a murderous demon, my goodness, slaughtering city by city, country by country, all bloodshed!"
"What’s that compared to mine?" Ouyang Jing recalled and still felt a chill, "I saw the ground covered in white bones, blood and flesh everywhere! At the peak of that Corpse Mountain and sea of blood, stood a guy with a fluttering cloak."
"Who was it?" everyone asked in unison.
"Heh, even though I couldn’t see the face, that kind of casual and unruly, elegant and outstanding, tyrannically unparalleled, peerless in ancient and modern times young man can only be me," Ouyang Jing shamelessly boasted.
Ever since this guy chased down Zhou Yun, his face had thickened even more.
"Just keep bragging!" Zhou Kai rolled his eyes in disdain.
"Heh, my bad, such a remarkable man could only be my big brother-in-law, Brother Kai!" Ouyang Jing said, buttering him up.
"Seriously, the nightmare I had was even more terrifying than yours; that guy, with all beasts submitting, billions of beings crawling under his feet, at the pinnacle of billions of beings, a Great Demon King holding a long sword, with a wave of his hand, click click, millions of heads all fell!"
He Yiming swallowed hard and spoke with lingering fear.
"Exaggerated!" Everyone despised him with a glance and all turned to Jiang Xiaofan, "Xiao Fan, you’re honest, tell us, what nightmare did you have?"
"Uh..." Jiang Xiaofan scratched the back of his head, "I’m not as eloquent as you guys, I also had a nightmare, but it wasn’t about a murderous demon, it was a very terrifying figure, that aura kept me awake all night."
"But..." Jiang Xiaofan paused, then continued, "I always felt that the aura and the figure seemed a bit familiar, and it kind of looked like someone we know."
"Now that you mention it, I feel that too."
Feng Mo and Ouyang Jing also nodded their heads, "It does seem familiar."
At that moment, the middle room’s door opened, and Ling Feng came out and saw everyone gathered in the courtyard, smiled faintly, and greeted, "Good morning, everyone!"
Instantly, pairs of eyes stared at Ling Feng, exchanging glances with each other, then nodded in unison and said together, "That’s right, it’s him!"
