Sword Dao Master Jiang Yanan was renowned as the number one sword prodigy in the Purple Star State.
He was born to be a Sword Immortal. It was said that when he was born, he used his finger as a sword and severed his mother's umbilical cord. Before he even learned how to walk, he had already learned how to wield a wooden sword.
When he was three years old, Jiang Yanan reached the Second Stage Dao Body and became a renowned prodigy.
What was even more frightening was that he could actually use a magic longsword to unleash sword intent that only cultivators of the Fourth Stage Dao Body could unleash.
A prodigy like him should have broken through to the Spirit Nurturing Stage before the age of thirty.
However, he only managed to break through at the age of thirty-five. Why? It was because he was pondering how to perform Sword Kinesis Flight at the Dao Body Rank …
This was originally something that was out of this world.
Sword Kinesis Flight required extremely precise control of vital energy. To achieve this, one had to borrow the power of a spirit root.
However, Jiang Yanan did it.
When he was of the Tenth Stage Dao Body, he successfully performed Sword Kinesis Flight!
He became the first person in history to perform Sword Kinesis Flight at the Dao Body Rank!
After that, he accumulated a lot of experience, reaching the Soul Formation Stage at the age of fifty and the Soul Formation Final Stage at the age of two hundred.
Now, although his cultivation base was only of the Soul Formation Final Stage, his comprehension of the Sword Dao was even more profound than many supreme beings of the Return to Void Stage. Moreover, his true intent of the sword had also reached an unimaginable level.
His experiences had already become a legend in the Purple Star State, even renowned throughout the Kingdom of the Nine States.
Right now, such a freakish figure was conducting a lesson on the Sword Dao at a drill ground in the imperial palace.
On the drill ground, several hundred luxuriously dressed students sat on grass mats.
They were members of the Green Wood Imperial Family. Although they were only collateral relatives and not direct descendants like Su Qianyun, Su Gu, and Su Xin, their statuses were still extremely respected in the Purple Star State.
At this moment, they were listening respectfully to Jiang Yanan's lesson. Some of their eyes were even burning with passion, as if they had seen their idol. They couldn't bear to look away for even a second.
Jiang Yanan stood proudly on the drill ground. His handsome face was like a crown of jade, and his snow-white hair danced behind him.
He had purposely dyed his hair this color because he felt that it would better accentuate his aura.
As a matter of fact, the burning gazes of the hundreds of students sitting down below explained everything!
Jiang Yanan smiled calmly and continued his lecture. "Now that we're done with the Way of the Sword, let's talk about Sword Intent!"
"The difference between Sword Intent and Sword Dao is that Sword Dao is the Dao that a Sword Immortal takes, but Sword Intent is the true meaning that points directly to the Origins. It has a concept that can be materialized, and it can greatly increase the might of our sword moves!"
At this moment, An Lin, Su Qianyun, and Su Xin walked over together.
The arrival of the two direct descendants of the Imperial Family undoubtedly attracted many people's attention.
Jiang Yanan had also noticed these three people. He was just about to find someone to practice with so that he could have a negative example. At this moment, when he saw the unfamiliar An Lin, a thought occurred to him, and he said leisurely, "I have an intent realm crystal here. It can be used to implant one's true meaning into the crystal and engage in a battle of intent. This way, it can better reflect a person's grasp of the Way of the Sword true meaning."
"I see that this fellow cultivator is extraordinarily handsome. Why don't you come up here and spar with me?" Jiang Yanan extended his palm toward An Lin and made an inviting gesture.
An Lin, who had originally only intended to be a bystander, was stunned by Jiang Yanan's gesture. He pointed at himself and asked, "Me?"
A warm smile appeared on Jiang Yanan's face. "That's right, you. Don't worry. Even if the avatar in the intent realm crystal is destroyed, it won't cause any damage to the original body. I can even guide you according to your grasp of the Way of the Sword true meaning."
Hearing Jiang Yanan's words, the crowd of imperial students all cast envious gazes toward An Lin. To be able to receive personal guidance from Jiang Yanan on the Way of the Sword true meaning, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Under such circumstances, An Lin could not refuse. He could only brace himself and walk over to Jiang Yanan's side.
Jiang Yanan gazed at An Lin with a gentle gaze. For a spar and guidance of Way of the Sword true meaning, this young man before him was the most suitable candidate.
The fact that An Lin could be so close to Su Qianyun and the others meant that they must have a very good relationship. Moreover, he must have a powerful background.
If he directly invited Su Qianyun or Su Xin, it would be too blatant. However, inviting An Lin to come up and guide him would attract a lot of attention. At the same time, he would also bestow upon the imperial family a great favor. How wonderful!
Jiang Yanan nodded with a satisfied expression, praising his own choice.
"May I ask how I should address you, young friend?" Jiang Yanan asked.
"My name is An Lin," An Lin replied with some trepidation.
On the way here, he had listened to Su Qianyun's introduction of this man's glorious past.
Just the fact that Jiang Yanan was able to use Sword Kinesis Flight when he was only at the Dao Body Stage was enough to make him prostrate himself before him.
How could he remain calm when sparring with such an awesome person?
Jiang Yanan retrieved a white crystal the size of a movie screen from his storage ring. "This is the intent realm crystal," he explained. "As long as you place your hands on the crystal and insert your thoughts, your consciousness will be able to enter the interior of the crystal. At that time, the battle of sword dao true intent within the crystal will be reflected on the surface of the crystal! "
After his introduction, the Green Wood Imperial Family disciples all gasped in amazement. Many of them were already itching to try it out for themselves.
He was extremely satisfied with everyone's reaction.
One had to realize that this intent realm crystal was a high-rank spirit tool, and it was the spirit tool that he was most satisfied with. Without it, the quality of his lessons would drop by quite a few notches.
"Then, let's begin," Jiang Yanan said to An Lin with an amiable expression.
"Just touch the crystal and direct my thoughts toward the crystal?" An Lin asked uncertainly.
"That's right. Battling within the crystal is equivalent to a battle of intents. There's no danger at all." Jiang Yanan could not help but comfort An Lin again when he saw the uneasy expression on his face.
The wind blew Jiang Yanan's elegant white hair, making him appear extremely fresh and handsome. He was like an extremely kind and otherworldly peerless Sword Immortal.
This scene caused some of the surrounding students to be completely dumbfounded. They exclaimed in their hearts. How could there be such a perfect man in this world?
An Lin placed his hand on the crystal. He felt the world spin around him, and his consciousness slowly sank into darkness.
When he regained consciousness, he discovered that he had already appeared in a vast expanse of white space. Jiang Yanan was standing proudly and elegantly in front of him.
Jiang Yanan carried his sword on his back, and he appeared very elegant and poised. "In this place, there is no difference in cultivation base," he said in a clear voice. "The only difference is the strength of one's true intent. In this place, I have defeated countless Spirit Nurturing cultivators, twenty-eight Soul Formation Stage Sword Immortals, and three Return to Void Stage cultivators. I have never tasted defeat! "
Jiang Yanan and An Lin's figures had already appeared on the intent realm crystal.
Jiang Yanan's words caused the hearts of the students below to surge with excitement. Everyone's eyes burned with passion.
As expected of the number one sword prodigy of the Purple Star State. His words were so domineering!
Even Su Qianyun and Su Xin were completely focused. They watched the battle on the screen with great anticipation.
They all focused their attention on Jiang Yanan, anticipating what his sword true intent would look like.
As for An Lin … no one thought that he would win.
He was merely a sparring partner for Jiang Yanan to demonstrate his sword intent. Thus, he did not attract much attention.
"Then, let us begin!" Jiang Yanan said calmly as he drew his longsword.
A gust of wind blew over from an unknown source, causing his elegant white hair to flutter. Like a spotlight, a holy light descended from the sky and enveloped his entire body. It made him look like an invincible God of War who stood proudly in this world.
Seeing this scene, An Lin's heart clenched. He instantly felt an immense pressure weighing down on him.
He slowly drew his longsword and said, "Alright, let us begin!"
