Sword intent! Long Nian

At the moment Long Chen infused the innate qi into the Blood Drinking Knife, it was absorbed, and everything in the world began to change in Long Chen's eyes.

Everything material began to transform into its essence.

The root of everything, the starting point of everything, and its name

Dao!

At this moment, Long Chen entered a mysterious and profound world.

Everything in the world vanished, and everything disintegrated over time. Long Chen raised his head and looked at the sky.

Those indifferent eyes looked up at the sky as if they could see through everything, and his perspective kept rising.

He saw tribe members carrying blood-stained treasure chests to the Long family.

He saw Long Ao Tian sitting in the courtyard practicing the Heavenly Body Technique.

He saw Long Tian Xiao giving rewards to clan members.

He saw the younger generation of the Long clan swallowing Heavenly Body Refining Pills.

The perspective kept rising, and everything in his eyes quickly became smaller.

Finally, he saw a winding battlefield. Corpses floated quietly, and occasionally a drop of blood splashed, but there were countless corpses of creatures and endless patches of blood...

"It turns out this is the origin of the Blood Drinking Knife."

Long Chen spoke quietly, and his breath became older and more desolate.

Finally, he saw a few people sitting in the depths of the battlefield. They looked at Long Chen, and Long Chen looked at them. At this moment, it seemed as if his eyes spanned endless years, looking at each other from a distance.

The scene in his eyes suddenly changed, as if it were no longer there, but a magnificent and boundless sea of swords!

His ancestor had been learning swordsmanship for many years, and his sword skills were not the best among his peers, but at least his skills were on par, even able to compete with some of the older generation of swordsmen.

However, when immersing oneself in the Sea of Swords, one cannot help but feel insignificant.

What level of swordsman used this sword?

Long Chen could not comprehend.

But this did not affect his heart.

His swordsmanship had remained at a bottleneck for many years.

This time, he could try using this relic of sword enlightenment to refine his sword skills and attempt to reach the mysterious realm of Sword Intent!

The level of swordsman is divided into four levels:

Sword Cultivator, Sword Intent Realm, Sword Domain Realm, and Sword Law Realm. Each realm has nine levels except for the first realm (Sword Cultivator).

Then...

Everything shattered like a mirror.

That relic of enlightenment dissipated.

But at this moment, through the power of his consciousness, the remnant of enlightenment remained.

His breath contained desolation and the ancient breath of Long Chen, making his entire being appear more mysterious and ancient, as if he were in an endless abyss.

It made people dare not look directly, yet it also made people want to take a look, but if they stared for too long, they could not help but drown in the abyss.

"This world is truly wonderful..." After some time, Long Chen spoke slowly.

And as his voice fell, the originally dead space seemed to come to life again.

"The visions in this knife are no joke. Although it was just a hint, it is truly beneficial." He spoke with emotion; the feeling was wonderful.

Even though he felt it for just a moment, his entire being had already undergone earth-shaking changes from the inside out.

The true energy in his body became deeper, and the strength of his physical body increased by several levels. Even the newly mastered Heavenly Body Technique reached a level close to Great Success, surpassing Minor Success, equivalent to the peak of a human weapon.

Knowing that weapons are divided into four ranks:

Human, Earth, Heaven, and Divine. Each level is divided into Low, Medium, High, and Peak.

The same applies to techniques and skills.

Moreover, in Long Chen's current spirit, a golden ball appeared, a phenomenon that should occur only to someone who has broken through to the Spiritual Essence Realm.

His realm had also unknowingly broken through to the sixth level of the innate.

Looking at the Blood Drinking Knife again, Long Chen had a different feeling.

With enlightenment, his sword training level reached the second level of the Sword Intent Realm!

Sword Intent is the first threshold that has trapped countless sword cultivators on their path to the ultimate sword.

The difficulty of comprehension is so high that ordinary people cannot understand it. Even looking at all the monks in the innate realm, their number is less than one percent!

On average, it takes a hundred innate realm monks to produce a sword cultivator who understands Sword Intent.

Under normal circumstances, only monks in the Spiritual Essence Realm can understand Sword Intent.

But now, Long Chen could reach the realm of Sword Intent in less than a day after his breakthrough, showing how terrifying he is! Although he relied on enlightenment.

Once Sword Intent is used, it can intimidate others' minds and make them timid before a fight. It also has various magical effects and is connected to the sword body, doubling its lethal power.

Suddenly, the system voice sounded:

[Ding ~ The Feng family has been destroyed and Star City has been controlled, the danger has been lifted, and now a side mission to develop the family is activated]

[The family is developed over a cycle of three hundred and sixty-five days and is recorded based on overall performance. The higher the score, the greater the reward!]

[Note: If you reach a perfect score, you can get a special reward]

This mission is in my favor.

Looking at the mission content, Long Chen sneered.

He did not forget that when he went to fight the Feng family, it was not only the Feng family that wanted to kill him, but the other three families were also involved.

Although most of the elites of those families were destroyed, I am sure there are still some left.

Now that the Feng family is destroyed, it is time to settle accounts with those families.

Four great families? Sorry, from now on, Star City needs only one great family.

Just as Long Chen was gradually making his decision.

Tonight is expected to be an extraordinary night for many people in Star City.

After learning that the Feng family was destroyed and all the people they sent were killed, the three families were terrified, especially when members of the Long clan were sent to seize their wealth.

They were afraid of Long clan's revenge and were hesitant to give up their wealth.

But in the end, the remaining three families gave up all their wealth and were already preparing to apologize, they were so scared that they could not sleep all night.

....

In the dead of night.

After finishing today's training, Long Nian dragged his tired body to bed.

He was mentally exhausted and soon felt very sleepy.

His eyelids became heavy, and he slowly closed them, falling asleep.

Shortly after.

He saw sudden changes.

An orange-red halo quietly emerged from Long Nian's chest, shining brightly in the night!

Immediately after, small flames overflowed from the pores of his body and turned into small vortices, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.

A large amount of spiritual energy flowed into his body, circulating through his limbs and bones, and began to repair all the injuries on its own.

After a night.

Long Nian's eyelashes trembled slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.

There was still some drowsy haze, but after noticing the astonishing changes in his body, it disappeared!

... this... this is?!

Long Nian opened his eyes wide and was in great shock.

He quickly got out of bed, stood up, and began to feel the changes in his body.

The slow absorption of the heaven and earth energy, which had originally caused the slow progress of his cultivation, requiring ten times the heaven and earth energy for a breakthrough, had completely disappeared.

Can I really absorb the heaven and earth energy naturally?

Long Nian lowered his head and looked at his trembling hands with disbelief.

He never expected such a change to happen just by waking up.

The surprise came so suddenly that it gave him the illusion that he was still dreaming.

He even reached out and pinched his face hard.

"Ah, it hurts."

After feeling a burning pain on his face, Long Nian finally confirmed.

This is not a dream; I can finally practice normally again.

After a moment of excitement, to understand the situation, Long Nian began to carefully explore the reason.

It did not take long before he noticed something unusual.

At this moment, not only had his absorption rate returned to its original state, but he was also absorbing spiritual energy ten times faster!

And in the corner of his Dantian, he saw a fortified flame...?

Why did this thing suddenly appear in my body? Moreover, this thing looks somewhat familiar...

Looking at this strange flame, Long Nian's eyes were thoughtful.

He frowned as he tried to remember where this familiar feeling came from.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in his eyes.

Isn't this from that day?

Long Nian couldn't help but think about what happened a few years ago.

One night while returning to his family, he saw a ball of flame fall from the sky and land on him.

He was full of doubts at the time, but nothing unusual happened to his body.

So, have you been following me since then?

Long Nian muttered.

By this time, he had understood.

His slow cultivation should be related to this mysterious flame.
