The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1363 - 1354: Masters Gather! Sword Intent Rises!

Ye Chenfeng inspected his Dantian internally and discovered a brown seed within. This should be the Sword Intent Seed that He Wuji mentioned. Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but ask, "Where am I? And what is Unyielding Sword Intent?"

"Your consciousness has entered an Illusory Realm I created. Those figures that appeared before you were creations from your memories. As for Unyielding Sword Intent, it’s a very unique kind of Sword Intent."

"Unyielding Sword Intent means never yielding, no matter whether what’s blocking you is heaven or earth, you must never bow your head. Once you yield in thought, the Unyielding Sword Intent will instantly dissipate."

Upon hearing He Wuji’s words, Ye Chenfeng asked, "Is the relic we entered also something you created?"

He Wuji replied with a somewhat melancholy expression, "This is merely a wisp of Divine Sense I left behind, waiting for someone to inherit my Unyielding Sword Intent. I can’t remember most of my life, but I can be sure that the relic you mentioned was not created by me."

Suddenly, He Wuji said again, "Kid, you should have also comprehended the Ice Sword Intent, right? Your Ice Sword Intent has just reached the level of First Grade Perfection."

Ye Chenfeng knew that the Ice Sword Intent He Wuji spoke of should be the Frosty Sword Intent he had comprehended. But what was this First Grade Perfection? Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but ask, "Senior He, what does First Grade Perfection mean?"

He Wuji looked at Ye Chenfeng with a face that seemed to say ’idiot’, explaining, "You don’t even know the levels of Sword Intent? Every kind of Sword Intent is divided from First Grade to Tenth Grade; the higher the Sword Intent level, the more power you can wield. A top-tier Tenth Grade Sword Intent is called Great Perfection Sword Intent."

"During my life, I cultivated the Unyielding Sword Intent to Great Perfection. The Sword Intent Seed I planted in your Dantian, once you can trigger it, you will not only instantly master the Unyielding Sword Intent, but its level will also directly soar to the level of the Seventh Grade."

"If you had come here a few years earlier, perhaps I could have directly passed on the Great Perfection level of Unyielding Sword Intent to you, meaning once you activate the Sword Intent Seed, its level will directly reach Great Perfection."

"Unfortunately, over the years, a lot of Sword Intent from the Sword Intent Seed has been lost. However, the Seventh Grade of Unyielding Sword Intent is still very powerful. Once you activate the Sword Intent Seed, it shouldn’t take many years to elevate Unyielding Sword Intent to top-tier Great Perfection."

White Shadow Person Wu Fengxian and Black Shadow Person Jiang Yuntian also knew about the levels of Sword Intent, only they forgot to explain this to Ye Chenfeng earlier.

Now that Ye Chenfeng learned from He Wuji that Sword Intent had level divisions, and the Frosty Sword Intent he comprehended was only at the level of First Grade, he felt incredibly weak.

If other geniuses from the Earth Profound Realm knew what Ye Chenfeng was thinking at the moment, they would probably be in tears. Most geniuses can’t even comprehend Sword Intent, and even if a few can, the path of cultivating Sword Dao is extremely arduous. In fact, most geniuses who comprehend Sword Intent can only remain at the First Grade level their entire lives.

As for what He Wuji just said, once Ye Chenfeng triggers the Sword Intent Seed in his Dantian, he wouldn’t need many years to elevate the Unyielding Sword Intent to Great Perfection because the Sword Intent Seed embodies He Wuji’s understanding of the Unyielding Sword Intent. As long as Ye Chenfeng can activate the Sword Intent Seed, he will naturally fully accept He Wuji’s understanding of the Unyielding Sword Intent, making his cultivation of it twice as effective with half the effort.

"Kid, before this wisp of Divine Sense disappears, there’s still some time. Let me help you enhance your Ice Sword Intent!"

With a flick of He Wuji’s sleeve, the surroundings instantly transformed into an icy world, though the ground remained filled with various swords.

"Choose a sword yourself, then attack me with Ice Sword Intent. It’s been ages since I fought anyone; today, I can loosen up a bit," He Wuji stated calmly.

Ye Chenfeng naturally wouldn’t miss any chance to improve his power. He immediately pulled out a white longsword from the ice and snow. As his Frosty Sword Intent stirred within him, a chilling aura rose from the sword’s blade, and with a wave of his right hand, a sword qi over two meters long shot toward He Wuji.

With a flick of He Wuji’s sleeve, the sword qi sent by Ye Chenfeng disappeared instantly. He said, "Your Ice Sword Intent is just superficial! True Ice Sword Intent requires the sword qi to be bone-chillingly cold, with the momentum to cloak the sky in frost with one strike."

Hearing He Wuji dismiss his Frosty Sword Intent as worthless, Ye Chenfeng felt somewhat displeased. His Frosty Sword Intent stirred again, and the sword was immediately enveloped in white mist, from which a faint dragon roar sounded, causing a glint of astonishment to appear in He Wuji’s eyes.

"Dragon Soars Nine Heavens!"

A white dragon suddenly leapt from Ye Chenfeng’s sword, fiercely sweeping toward He Wuji.

He Wuji brought together the index and middle fingers of his right hand, and with a gentle swipe toward the white dragon, "Boom!"— The entire white dragon exploded immediately. He Wuji said calmly, "Not bad, this move blends a Combat Skill, and you’ve got some momentum, but it’s still not sharp enough."

"Next, I won’t just stand still to let you attack. I’ll suppress my power to a certain degree, and you should be prepared for death. If your consciousness dissipates here, you’ll become an idiot in reality."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenfeng’s forehead slightly furrowed. He could tell He Wuji wasn’t joking. Just as he was about to speak, he saw He Wuji’s figure already charging toward him.

...

Outside the Grim Mountains.

While Ye Chenfeng was undergoing training under Sword God He Wuji.

Jiang Motian from the Yinming Sect was waiting outside the mountains. After he caused a huge commotion in the sky, people gradually began to arrive here.

The first to be attracted were three loose cultivators from the Ocean Gathering Realm’s Third Heavenly Layer. Jiang Motian did not immediately explain anything to these three loose cultivators but had them wait with him first.

Not long after the arrival of the three Ocean Gathering Realm’s Third Heavenly Layer loose cultivators, Jiang Junhua, the grandson of the Great Elder of the Shuis, also reached the outside of the mountains. At this moment, Jiang Junhua was almost drenched in blood, and his clothes were ragged. However, despite his appearance, his spirits were exceedingly high. Originally, his strength was only at the Middle Stage of the Ocean Gathering Realm’s Second Heavenly Layer, but now his strength had reached the Initial Stage of the Ocean Gathering Realm’s Fourth Heavenly Layer.

It seems that Jiang Junhua had been increasing his strength by killing people, and he had already discovered the unique Heaven and Earth Laws in this relic.

As soon as Jiang Junhua arrived outside the mountains, his gaze fell upon the three loose cultivators from the Ocean Gathering Realm’s Third Heavenly Layer, his eyes filled with unbridled ferocity. Fortunately, Jiang Motian promptly spoke, "Are you Jiang Junqian’s younger brother, Jiang Junhua?"

Jiang Motian remembered clearly that before entering the relic, Jiang Junhua’s level was only at the Middle Stage of the Ocean Gathering Realm’s Second Heavenly Layer. How much time had passed since then? Jiang Junhua’s strength had already reached the Initial Stage of the Ocean Gathering Realm’s Fourth Heavenly Layer. In Jiang Motian’s view, Jiang Junhua must have encountered some extraordinary opportunity.

Jiang Junhua naturally knew that he was still no match for Jiang Motian. He could discern that Jiang Motian was still unaware of the unique Heaven and Earth Laws inside the relic. He nodded and said, "I am Jiang Junhua."

After confirming Jiang Junhua’s identity, Jiang Motian briefly recounted the situation. Of course, he did not mention his pursuit of Shui Menghan, merely stating that Shui Menghan and Ye Chenfeng were trapped in the Sword God’s tomb.

Upon hearing Jiang Motian’s account, although Jiang Motian did not mention Ye Chenfeng’s name, Jiang Junhua knew with certainty that the one with Shui Menghan must be Ye Chenfeng. With a face full of disappointment, he said, "So, according to you, Shui Menghan and that guy are bound to die in the Sword God’s tomb? It really is a relief for that guy."

"Let’s wait a bit longer. There should be others on their way over. Then we can explore the Sword God’s tomb together," Jiang Motian said casually. He could sense that several strong presences were steadily approaching. In his view, the others were merely his stepping stones.

...

Meanwhile, when Jiang Junhua from the Shuis arrived outside the Grim Mountains.

In the Illusory Realm created by Sword God He Wuji.

Ye Chenfeng was covered with wounds deep enough to reveal bone, making him look incredibly wretched, while He Wuji, standing before him, remained as calm as ever.

"Kid, if you continue like this, your consciousness will only be obliterated by my Sword Intent," He Wuji said, looking at Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng, covered in wounds, breathed erratically through his nose and mouth. His right hand, which held the white longsword, trembled slightly as he continuously recalled the sharp Sword Qi He Wuji had repeatedly unleashed.

Ye Chenfeng clenched his teeth tightly; he was not someone who resigned to fate easily. The more dangerous it was, the more it could excite his potential. Tightening his grip on the white longsword in his hand, a sudden realization dawned in his mind, and the frosty Sword Intent within him was stirred once more.

This time, there was a slight change in the aura surrounding Ye Chenfeng. Recalling the sharp aura that He Wuji had just displayed, his right arm ceased trembling: "Try taking one more move from me."

Ye Chenfeng’s frosty Sword Intent surged overwhelmingly. The blade was no longer just enshrouded by cold but was entirely encased in ice. A sharp light flickered in his eyes: "Dragon Soars Nine Heavens!"

Two dragon roars emanated from the sword, and Ye Chenfeng’s hair and clothes fluttered with the surrounding airflow.

With a "boom,"

Two white dragons leapt out of Ye Chenfeng’s sword. The single white dragon had transformed into two, with their internal Sword Intent sharper and the chill they emitted even more biting.

The two white dragons promptly engulfed He Wuji’s body. When the white dragons dispersed, He Wuji was still standing in his original spot. However, a piece of his right arm’s sleeve gently floated to the ground, revealing a deep gash on his right arm.

"Kid, not bad, not bad, now that’s more like it! Ah, what a pity my time is running out! Otherwise, I could train you further."

"Your Ice Sword Intent has now reached the Second Tier level. Your talent for understanding Sword Dao isn’t bad."
