Chapter 22 Tower of intents (Updated)

The old man looked at Aiden as he asked "Boy, what is the reward that you want?"

According to the rules, if someone manages to defeat someone three sub realms and above, they'll be able to choose a reward of their choice in the reasonable range of course."

Aiden said "Old man, I want to enter the tower of intents as well, three days of the fourth star will do."

The old man gave him a weak smile as he smiled "Are you sure about this? You're still some distance away from cultivating out your own assassin intent."

Aiden gave him a serious look as he nodded "I'm very sure about it, three days will suffice. Don't worry, as an assassin, I'll never turn back if I fail my mission, the same applies to everything I do in life."

The old man threw him a token, the same one as Nightin as he said "I can give you three days, but you'll be entitled to the fifth star one, is that fine with you?"

Aiden jumped in joy "Old man, you said that yourself, you can't go back on your words or you'll die a early death soon."

Black lines started to appear on the old man's forehead as he thought to himself about how dangerous the two youths in front of him are. All he did was tried to help Aiden and he was cursed to have a early death in return.

After Nightin and Aiden left the registration hall, they started to make their way to the tower of intents at the exact center of the city. On the way, Nightin asked Aiden "Aiden, do you know what the tower of intent is about? Why were you so excited about it?"

Aiden looked at Nightin in shock, but quickly regained his composure after remembering that Nightin isn't from the area "Sect master, the tower of intents is a place where many different intents can be cultivated for all cultivators below the Ancestor grade, even those at the first class realm of their respective intents desire to enter the tower at any costs however hefty it may be."

"In the tower of intents, many different intents can be cultivated, the five elements, any weapon intents, the heart intent, shadow intent and many more. But of course, unique intents such as the time law, space law and life and death laws are excluded. They are on an entirely different level compared to the intents."

Nightin continued to ask again "What is the difference between the intents and laws?"

"If intents were to be compared to laws, then it would be akin to comparing a baby trying to fight against a fully grown adult, helpless and unable to do nothing against him. But of course, it's rumored that some unique intents can be evolved into the laws realm. What makes law realm so rare is that they only exist in the Ancestor realm, yet some geniuses actually awaken them straight away."

Before long, they had arrived at the tower of intents and entered separated intent rooms based on what they needed most at the moment.

Back at somewhere around the Cloud Moon city area, Alexander was leading the Azure Dragon army which has already expanded to 87 soldiers and were currently roaming the area, clearing any bandits which are always doing evil deeds around the area.

With his cultivation at the middle stage Martial Spirit, it would be an easy task to eliminate all of them on his own, yet he isn't doing in order to give his army the combat experience they need.

Right now, the army consists of ten low grade Martial masters; middle and high grades martial apprentices. The terrifying thing about them is that they've already seen through death and are always charging straight to the enemy without fear.

Whenever they arrive, the opponent will already be shuddering in fear just from the aura they've gained through the countless battles and not only that, all of them could at least challenge a opponent one sub realm above them despite having average talents.

Right now, the spear has been forged, waiting for the next fire to purify it of all the other particles to arrive at the next stage.

At this moment, the name of Azure Dragons have spread far as many people aspire to join them through the sect.

After Alexander talked it out with the rest of the legacy disciples and elder, they agreed to hold the entry examination after Nightin has returned and increase the number of disciples to 500, the number needed for a third grade sect at the very least.

Back in the tower of intents, Nightin was meditating on the ground as he tried to further his understanding on the intent realm. From what he has comprehended in the past hour,he felt as though as if he had been cultivating for a month.

To become a second class sword master,he must train his sword intent till the limit,until it's in his blood and bones; until it reaches the stage where he can infuse his intent into his every single action of his. After that, he'll have to condense all of it into a portal sealed within his body,only then can he further cultivate his sword intent.

After the portal reaches its limit as well, there'll be a gate which he'll have to shatter. After breaking the first gate, he'll be able to enter the Sword Ancestor realm. Yet that's not his goal, it's rumored that only by breaking apart the fifth gate and above will the intent transform into its law state. If one doesn't,the early stage of Sword Ancestor will be the person's limit for life unless an miracle occurs.

After one hour, Nightin had only managed to cultivate one percent of the whole intent. With his talent, the sword intent he'll be able to absorb can be described as terrifying, which is why it'll take him a longer time as well.

Soon, three days passed by in the blink of an eye,at this time, Nightin has managed to control his aura freely without any difficulty and condensed twenty percent of it. With time passing, the process got more and more difficult and it'll be a even longer process without any external help from now on.

As for Aiden, he managed to cultivate out the shadow intent and condensed three percent of it.

The shadow intent is believed to be one of the stronger intents for those who step onto the assasination path. Not only will the assassin be able to move much more quickly and silently, the assassin can summon out two shadow clones at the second class with it having 30% of the original strength. For the first class, they can summon three which has 40% of the person's original strength.

As for Aiden, he'll only be able to summon a shadow clone with 20% of his strength after reaching the peak of the third class.

"Boom!" "Roar!"

"Ring! Ring!"

"Everyone take not and get into defense formation, the demon beasts have arrived! Every soldier and cultivator ,take out your weapons and fight to the death with the demon beasts! This isn't only for yourself, but for every human being and your loved ones!".

With just one rally, the commander of the peak Martial Lord realm raised everyone's morale to the peak as the city gates slowly opened themselves...
