Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 389 - 226: Refining Sword Intent, Tier Three Middle Grade Flying Sword!
"Finally broke through to the Core Formation Middle Stage~"
Opening his eyes, Qi Chuan felt incredibly relaxed and in a good mood.
At the same time, a line of text appeared before him.
[With the assistance of Perfection Inspiration Opportunity, you operated the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique, absorbed Spiritual Qi, and transformed it into your own mana, triggering a Hundredfold Critical Strike, gaining a hundredfold reward. Your total mana has been greatly enhanced, and you have successfully advanced to the Core Formation Middle Stage.]
Qi Chuan introspected his Dantian.
He could see a First-Grade Nine Orifice Golden Core quietly suspended, slowly revolving within his Dantian.
Now, compared to his earlier Core Formation Early Stage, this First-Grade Nine Orifice Golden Core had grown at least threefold.
And the change in power was even more astonishing.
To say the least.
The current him, when facing his Core Formation Early Stage self, could effortlessly slay him.
And that’s just against his own Core Formation Early Stage self.
Facing other Core Formation Early Stage opponents would be even easier.
Therefore, one could say Qi Chuan’s strength had undergone a complete transformation.
If, at the Core Formation Early Stage within the Great Core Formation Realm, one could be considered a fledgling.
Then now, he could be said to have made significant progress, entering the hall.
Not to mention dominating the Core Formation realm.
He also possesses substantial self-preservation capability.
"For now, I need to comprehend some new Sword Dao Divine Techniques."
The Eighth Layer of the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique also contained a new Sword Dao Divine Technique.
In fact, the Eighth Layer Sword Technique was derived from Qi Chuan’s own deductions.
Therefore, he could skip the familiarization process of the Eighth Layer Sword Technique.
However, to acquire the new Sword Dao Divine Technique, a little comprehension was still necessary.
The process of understanding, however, would be much easier than before.
Moreover, with the aid of the Hundredfold Critical Strike, comprehension would be even simpler.
Thus, Qi Chuan immediately began to understand the new Sword Dao Divine Technique.
In just ten days, he fully comprehended the new Sword Dao Divine Technique contained within the Eighth Layer Sword Technique.
The new Sword Dao Divine Technique was named Refining Sword Intent.
Actually, the Sword Dao Divine Technique Human-Sword Unity, comprehended during the Core Formation Early Stage, was an initial application of Sword Intent.
Now, he could more specifically coalesce Sword Intent.
During the Qi Refining Stage, there were three Sword Dao Divine Techniques.
Spirit Devouring Sword Qi, Sword Qi Film, and Sword Qi Thunder Sound.
All belonged to the category of Sword Qi.
In the Foundation Establishment Stage, the techniques derived from the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique were Refining Sword into Gang, Sword Gang Division, and Sword Gang Transformation.
All pertained to Sword Gang utilization.
In the Core Formation Stage, it centered around Sword Intent.
Sword Intent, compared to Sword Qi and Sword Gang, was far more formidable and terrifying.
In fact, Qi Chuan had long experienced its power.
During the Three Sects challenge, Qi Chuan utilized the Sword Dao Divine Technique Human-Sword Unity to easily confront two opponents at once, defeating the top Core Formation Early Stage experts Qing Jianzi and Song Dan.
In this, Sword Intent played a significant role, as Human-Sword Unity was an initial application of Sword Intent.
It should be noted that in that fight, Qi Chuan executed the Sword Gang Division Divine Technique, splitting off a Sword Shadow with one-third the power of his Flying Sword.
The result?
The magical treasures of Qing Jianzi and Song Dan were both sent flying.
One of these was caused by the Sword Shadow split, mainly due to the power augmentation of Sword Intent.
Now, with the comprehension of Refining Sword Intent, it signified Qi Chuan’s strength had ascended yet another level.
It’s not just a simple application; he could now truly coalesce it and confront enemies with Sword Intent.
Simply put, without needing to draw the sword, just a thought was enough to coalesce Sword Intent and instantly strike down an enemy.
The speed of Sword Intent was much faster than that of the Flying Sword, making it difficult to guard against.
Of course, relying solely on Sword Intent without support or foundation would have limited power.
Against weaker opponents, it could certainly achieve a kill.
But against stronger opponents, it wouldn’t work, as they would have means to block Sword Intent.
Simply put, Sword Intent is somewhat similar to Sword Qi and Sword Gang.
Qi Chuan could forgo using the Flying Sword and simply flick his fingers to unleash Sword Qi or Sword Gang, which would have a certain amount of damage.
But when facing daunting enemies of the same realm, relying solely on ordinary Sword Qi and Sword Gang wouldn’t suffice to achieve a kill; the Flying Sword itself would need to be employed, with the Flying Sword body, Sword Qi, and Sword Gang working in concert for maximum lethal force.
The same holds true for Sword Intent.
What is most crucial for it is the augmentation on the Flying Sword, greatly enhancing its power and speed.
Additionally, it can also augment previous Sword Dao Divine Techniques, such as Sword Qi Film, Sword Qi Thunder Sound, Sword Gang Division, and more, greatly enhancing the power of these Sword Dao Divine Techniques.
"Core Formation Middle Stage cultivation, Refining Sword Intent... I feel so powerful now. I’m curious about how I would fare against Hu Tianying, Feng Tan, and Guan Yunyun at the Core Formation Middle Stage of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect."
Qi Chuan clenched his right fist, pondering deeply in his heart.
Then he extended his index finger and activated the Sword Technique. A trace of Sword Qi arose, faintly resembling a sword shape.
After a moment of observation, Qi Chuan lightly pierced the air with his index finger towards the ground.
Tshiv.
Sword Qi immediately burst forth.
Soon, a hole appeared on the ground.
