"Senior Brother Mon is overthinking it; I believe that there must be a reason why the Heavy Rain Sword Monarch chose to pass his inheritance on to you."
Hearing Mon Tianran’s words, Qin Chen shook his head.
He knew well that no powerful being would arbitrarily pass on their inheritance to another without any reason.
Unless there was something about that person that they highly regarded.
And although Mon Tianran’s talents weren’t exceptional,
It was clear that the Heavy Rain Sword Monarch didn’t pass on the inheritance because of Mon Tianran’s talents,
But because of something else that Mon Tianran possessed.
"A reason? Could it be because I’ve always been resolute in my pursuit of the Sword Dao?"
Upon hearing this, Mon Tianran suddenly seemed to realize something, and his expression changed.
"Perhaps, that’s it."
Qin Chen smiled slightly as he listened.
"By the way, Senior Brother Mon, is this special Martial Intent you’ve comprehended called the Rainstorm Martial Intent?" Qin Chen asked curiously.
"Yes, it’s indeed the Rainstorm Martial Intent," Mon Tianran nodded.
"I see this Rainstorm Martial Intent seems to be an attack-type Martial Intent as well, just like the Fierce Sun Martial Intent you comprehended previously."
"Have you now given up cultivating the Fierce Sun Martial Intent?" Qin Chen asked.
"Yes," Mon Tianran nodded.
Qin Chen wasn’t surprised.
After all, comprehending two kinds of the same type of Martial Intent is indeed a choice where one can be discarded.
Cultivating two Martial Intents of the same type simultaneously is indeed a wasteful act.
It’s better to give up one of them.
And compared to the Fierce Sun Martial Intent, which is also an attack type,
The Rainstorm Martial Intent is naturally more robust.
Mon Tianran’s choice was indeed a very wise one.
"It’s just a pity that I can’t unlock the seal on this Heavy Rain Heavenly Sword, nor can I unleash its true power," Mon Tianran sighed.
"This seems to be deliberate by the Heavy Rain Sword Monarch beforehand, to prevent you from relying too heavily on external things," Qin Chen said.
"Perhaps it is," Mon Tianran replied, nodding at the words.
"Moreover, according to what the Heavy Rain Sword Monarch said, this sword, which has followed him for a hundred years, contains his life’s understanding of the Sword Dao."
"Perhaps in order to let me receive the appropriate True Interpretation of the Sword Dao at the right stage, the Heavy Rain Sword Monarch intentionally left the seal on this Heavy Rain Heavenly Sword."
"As my strength improves, I am to continuously unlock it and gain more insights into the Sword Dao, making my Sword Dao stronger," Mon Tianran said.
Qin Chen nodded in agreement.
Mon Tianran receiving recognition from a predecessor of the Primordial Flower Realm was indeed a great opportunity for him.
And Qin Chen could see,
The inheritance from the Heavy Rain Sword Monarch indeed brought Mon Tianran significant gains and transformations.
"These Demon Beast Inner Crystals inside the demon beasts are indeed good stuff."
At this moment, the voice of Little Fairy suddenly rang in Qin Chen’s mind.
"Oh?" Qin Chen said, curious.
Afterward, Qin Chen casually picked up a Demon Beast Inner Crystal from a dead Blood-sucking Giant Ant on the ground.
"Just as I suspected."
"This Forest Demon World, due to the rich Heaven and Earth Essence, has turned the Demon Beast Inner Crystals inside the demon beasts into Demon Essence Crystals," Little Fairy said.
"What is a Demon Essence Crystal?" Qin Chen was astonished.
"Compared to Demon Beast Inner Crystals, the Demon Essence Crystals contain not only rich energy essence but also an abundance of Essence of Primordial Qi."
"Overall, compared to Demon Beast Inner Crystals, the energy in these Demon Essence Crystals is more concentrated and easier for Martial Artists to absorb, making them much more useful," Little Fairy explained.
"These Demon Beast Inner Crystals, why do I feel that they are somewhat different from the ones outside?"
Mon Tianran eyed the Demon Essence Crystal of the Blood-sucking Giant Ant in Qin Chen’s hand, sensing that it was somewhat different from the usual Demon Beast Inner Crystals found within other beasts’ bodies.
"I’ll give it a try," Qin Chen said as he activated his Devouring Elemental Power.
Then, he refined the Demon Essence Crystal.
Instantly, an extremely pure energy surged into Qin Chen’s body.
His Divine Veins were activated in an instant.
"What pure energy!" Qin Chen exclaimed in astonishment.
It was indeed as Little Fairy had said.
This so-called Demon Essence Crystal was easier for Martial Artists to absorb compared to ordinary Demon Beast Inner Crystals and its effects were greater as well.
Beside him, Mon Tianran also closed his eyes, and it took him several minutes to barely refine a very small Demon Essence Crystal.
Clearly, Qin Chen’s refining speed was far faster than his.
Moreover, Mon Tianran barely managed to refine the crystal and hadn’t fully digested it.
For Qin Chen, however, refining and then digesting it was merely a matter of moments.
"What extraordinary energy!" Qin Chen marveled.
"The Demon Beast Inner Crystals from the beasts in this Forest Demon World are indeed different from those outside, containing incredibly rich Essence of Primordial Qi."
Mon Tianran’s face lit up with joy.
Qin Chen was also extremely pleased.
These over one hundred Blood-sucking Giant Ants could yield at least a hundred Demon Essence Crystals.
Splitting it equally, each getting fifty, would almost certainly greatly enhance their Cultivation.
It might even allow them to break through their current Divine Vein Level.
With that thought, Qin Chen collected all the Demon Essence Crystals from the bodies of the dead Blood-sucking Giant Ants.
A total of one hundred and ten.
Split evenly, Qin Chen got sixty-five.
"With so many Demon Essence Crystals, if I refine all of them, my cultivation will surely increase significantly!" Mon Tianran said, grinning.
It was indeed a good haul.
However, to refine and digest all these crystals would clearly take some time.
Qin Chen frowned suddenly and looked in another direction.
Almost as soon as Qin Chen’s gaze shifted, four figures swiftly arrived at where Qin Chen and Mon Tianran were.
Seeing the blood and scattered limbs on the ground, the expressions of the four shifted slightly.
However, when they saw the Sect Tokens on Qin Chen and Mon Tianran, they revealed a disdainful smirk.
Qin Chen also noticed their Sect Tokens.
Three-star Sect, Feiyan Sect!
These were disciples from the Feiyan Sect of the Three-star Sect.
Moreover, these people were not weak.
Three of them were at the Earth Element Sixth Layer, and the young man leading at the front was even at the Earth Element Seventh Layer.
Qin Chen was very aware.
As disciples of a Three-star Sect, their true strength could not be judged solely by their Cultivation levels.
After all, to represent the Three-star Sect in battle, they must not be mediocre.
Most crucially, Qin Chen noticed.
These four disciples of the Feiyan Sect seemed to be harboring ill intentions.
