"Before you reach the Guiyuan Realm, your second senior brother will teach you. Once you reach the Guiyuan Realm, come find me again!"
Qingxuan King helped Chu Ming up from the ground and steadied him.
Chu Ming nodded. At this moment, a figure in white slowly walked out of the thatched hut. As he moved, the space seemed to respond with the faint trembling of several sword edges.
Seeing the approaching figure, Chu Ming couldn’t help but show a trace of surprise, for the figure in white was none other than Ancient Sword Peak, the Sword Demon.
"This is your second senior brother!"
Qingxuan King introduced calmly.
"Greetings, Second Senior Brother!"
Chu Ming did not dare to be negligent, cupping his hands respectfully.
Ancient Sword Peak nodded slightly, his eyes indifferent and cold.
"If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask your second senior brother!"
Qingxuan King said finally, then bowed his head again, tending the plants in the world around him, paying no heed to everything happening around.
Ancient Sword Peak said calmly to Chu Ming, then, before Chu Ming could react, grabbed his shoulder, and countless streams of light flashed before Chu Ming’s eyes.
Ripples formed in the space as Chu Ming and Ancient Sword Peak traversed through it. According to Chu Ming’s estimation, Ancient Sword Peak was only a step away from the Realm of Transcendence.
Traversing space was a skill only those in the Realm of Transcendence possessed, but in the hands of Ancient Sword Peak, he could barely manage it, showing that in some aspects, he was no weaker than a true Transcendence Realm master.
When Chu Ming appeared again, he found himself in a blood-red hall, filled with the scent of battle.
"This is my residence, the Law Enforcement Hall!"
Ancient Sword Peak said calmly.
Ancient Sword Peak being the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall was something Chu Ming already knew.
"The sword intents you comprehend are the Immortal Sword Intent and Slaughter Sword Intent, while I comprehend three types of sword intents: Slaughter Sword Intent, Void Sword Intent, and Destruction Sword Intent. I cannot guide you much in Immortal Sword Intent, but for Slaughter Sword Intent, I will demonstrate it for you once. How much you can comprehend depends entirely on you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a silver-white longsword appeared in Ancient Sword Peak’s hand at some unknown time. The tip of the sword buzzed, and in an instant, his aura changed, becoming as vast as the oceans.
"This is Tier One Slaughter Sword Intent!"
The silver sword in Ancient Sword Peak’s hand swept horizontally, and a dazzling blood-colored light swept across the sky. The heavens and the earth seemed to crack. In this sword, Ancient Sword Peak did not infuse any spiritual power; only the intent was present, otherwise, even a casual strike from him would turn the Law Enforcement Hall into ruins.
Chu Ming had seen the Slaughter Sword Intent in the Hall of Legacy before, and naturally, Ancient Sword Peak’s Slaughter Sword Intent was not as pure as that figure in the Hall of Legacy, but it was easier for Chu Ming to absorb.
After all, in the Hall of Legacy, the gap between Chu Ming and the white-robed middle-aged man was so great that Chu Ming only had a vague understanding of the Slaughter Sword Intent. But now, watching Ancient Sword Peak’s Slaughter Sword Intent,
Chu Ming felt an enlightening moment in his mind, all the previous confusions about Slaughter Sword Intent were resolved one by one.
"This is Tier Two Slaughter Sword Intent!"
"This is Tier Three Slaughter Sword Intent!"
"This is Tier Ten Slaughter Sword Intent!"
"This is the Great Perfection of Slaughter Sword Intent!"
As the foremost person below the Realm of Transcendence in the Celestial Realm, Ancient Sword Peak’s comprehension of the Slaughter Sword Intent had long reached perfection.
Beyond the Realm of Transcendence, what martial artists comprehend surpasses the realm of intent, reaching the level of secret techniques.
After the demonstration, Ancient Sword Peak sheathed his sword, his aura gradually retracting until everything returned to stillness. At this moment, however, Chu Ming’s heart was far from calm.
In his mind, he continuously played back the Slaughter Sword Intent displayed by Ancient Sword Peak, his comprehension of the Slaughter Sword Intent surged like a geyser.
The Slaughter Sword Intent trembled, directly advancing from the middle of Tier Two to the late stage of Tier Two, and it continued to rise.
The deeper his comprehension of the sword intent, the more Chu Ming could feel its terrifying power, an instant sense of dread upon the slightest touch.
Seeing Chu Ming still immersed in understanding, Ancient Sword Peak nodded slightly, realizing Chu Ming’s affinity for the Sword Dao surpassed his expectations.
Chu Ming sat in the Law Enforcement Hall for a whole day, and when he opened his eyes the next day, his Slaughter Sword Intent had reached the peak of Tier Two, with the Sword Force contained within it becoming even purer.
In front of him, Ancient Sword Peak still stood, having guarded Chu Ming for one whole day.
"Thank you, Second Senior Brother!"
Chu Ming said gratefully. This acknowledgment of "Second Senior Brother" was from the bottom of his heart.
"Martial artists’ cultivation is like rowing a boat against the current; you must not let down Master’s expectations of you!"
Ancient Sword Peak nodded, his expression indifferent.
Then, he brushed his right hand over his Storage Ring, and a blood-red stone appeared in his hand. The stone was only the size of a fist, and on it, Chu Ming sensed many sword marks, with Slaughter Sword Intent being particularly prominent.
"This Blood Stone was something I acquired unintentionally. It can accelerate a swordsman’s comprehension of the Slaughter Sword Intent. It is of no use to me now, so I will give it to you!"
"Thank you, Second Senior Brother!"
Chu Ming took the Blood Stone, feeling its coldness. A faint sword intent emitted from the Blood Stone, flowing through his body. In an instant, his comprehension of the Slaughter Sword Intent deepened further.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Ming was certain in his heart and could only remember this kindness deeply.
Leaving the Law Enforcement Hall, Chu Ming quickly returned to his own courtyard, still feeling a lingering sense of comprehension toward the Slaughter Sword Intent!
He needed to retreat immediately, using the Blood Stone in his hand to try to break through to Tier Three Slaughter Sword Intent.
With his right hand tightly gripping the Blood Stone, Chu Ming slowly infused his Spiritual Sense into it, and immediately, a sharp Sword Aura appeared in his mind. A starry sky manifested in his mind, with countless sword marks passing swiftly through the starry sky.
Not daring to waste any time, Chu Ming seized the moment for comprehension.
As time passed bit by bit, Chu Ming’s understanding of the Slaughter Sword Intent deepened day by day.
Ten days later, the Slaughter Sword Intent on Chu Ming had become incredibly intense, with a faint glow leaking out, instantly shattering the table into dust and ashes.
The small Slaughter Sword trembled. Chu Ming’s Slaughter Sword Intent had finally reached Tier Three.
Chu Ming opened his eyes and looked at the Blood Stone in his hand, his gratitude towards Ancient Sword Peak deepening. This Blood Stone had saved him at least a month of time.
Putting the Blood Stone into his Storage Ring, if Chu Ming was not mistaken, the first prize in the Inner Sect competition, in addition to the reward of a Starlight Pill, also included one million Contribution Points.
