The difficulty of the twelve swordsmanship increased progressively. While he was cultivating the swordsmanship, the zhenqi in his body flowed in a continuous manner without any discomfort. More importantly, after cultivating the swordsmanship, his understanding of swordsmanship and his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds. How could the sequence be wrong?
"If you swap the first and seventh moves, you'll be able to gather your zhenqi faster. If you swap the eighth and eleventh moves, you'll be able to enhance your Sword Intent. If you swap the sixth and third moves, you'll be able to focus your mind better. "
Zhang Xuan pointed casually.
Perplexed, Han Jianqiu followed Zhang Xuan's instructions and changed the sequence.
Hong long!
His zhenqi surged, and he managed to comprehend the areas that he had been unable to cultivate previously. At the same time, his comprehension of Sword Intent also rose to a whole new level. It felt as if he could tear space apart at any moment.
"It's true …"
Han Jianqiu froze on the spot.
He had been cultivating the Heaven's Path Divine Art for more than eighty years, but he had never thought that the sequence would be wrong. He could not have imagined that the swapping of the moves would yield such incredible results. In fact, it was even possible for him to comprehend the Gods' Sword Intent!
Even though it was still very weak, as time passed, it would only grow stronger and stronger, eventually leading to a qualitative change. It was not impossible for him to comprehend the Gods' Sword Intent just like Han Jianqiu!
Recovering from his shock, Han Jianqiu turned to look at the young man before him with incredulity in his eyes.
It had taken him fifteen years to learn the sword art, but the young man had managed to do it in the blink of an eye. More importantly, he was even able to see through the flaws and flaws in the sword art.
Was he even human?
He had thought that the young man comprehending the Gods' Sword Intent had something to do with luck, but from the looks of it now, it seemed like it had nothing to do with luck but the young man's incredible talent!
In fact, his talent was already on par with the head of the Ethereal Hall!
Legend had it that several thousand years ago, the head of the Ethereal Hall had appeared out of nowhere, and in just a few short months, he had dominated the entire world. Not only that, he had even barged into the Hall of Gods alone and stolen a single character.
There had only been one person in the past several thousand years who possessed such capability. Who could have thought that a second person would appear in their sect?
"With this, when the Azure Bridge opens, the geniuses of the Six Sects will gather. Our Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion will surely be able to come out on top!
Han Jianqiu clenched his fists tightly as excitement gleamed in his eyes.
Even though the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion had the word 'God' in their Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, they were still limited by the fact that their geniuses weren't strong enough. However, with the addition of Zhang Xuan, they would surely be able to make a name for themselves.
Filled with excitement, he turned to look at the young man not too far away, only to see the latter standing quietly on the spot, seemingly having comprehended something.
Han Jianqiu knew that this was something that could only be chanced upon by luck, so he turned around and left the room.
…
Just as he had guessed, Zhang Xuan was indeed comprehending.
The Ascendant Cloud Sword God Formula might not be of much help to him in his breakthrough to the High Immortal Realm, but it would allow him to better control the Gods' Sword Intent that he had comprehended previously.
The Book of Heaven's Path formed by Dan Xiaotian had sealed the Gods' Sword Intent, granting Zhang Xuan a perfect understanding of the Gods' Sword Intent. However, due to the limitations of his cultivation and soul energy, he had never been able to bring out the full might of the Gods' Sword Intent.
But at this moment, when he linked the twelve movements together, the Gods' Sword Intent had actually broken through the seal of the Book of Heaven's Path and fused perfectly with his body.
In other words, the Gods' Sword Intent had completely fused with his body, becoming a part of him. He would be able to wield it as he pleased without any restrictions.
"So, this sword art is the key to unlocking the Gods' Sword Intent …"
Sensing the changes in his body, Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in realization.
Back when he was fighting against the three Heavenly True Immortal realm black-robed men, he had been unable to execute the Gods' Sword Intent to its fullest, resulting in him being in a disadvantageous position. However, if he could execute the Gods' Sword Intent to its fullest, he would be able to kill them even without making a breakthrough to the True Immortal realm.
Gugugugu!
As the Gods' Sword Intent flowed through his body, he felt as if his entire body had become incredibly sharp, as if he would pierce through the heavens at any moment.
Hu!
In an instant, Zhang Xuan morphed into a sword and floated into the air.
"I can fly now!"
A glint flashed across Zhang Xuan's eyes as he exclaimed in agitation.
The spatial pressure in the Azure was far greater than that on the Master Teacher Continent, such that only High Immortals were capable of flight.
Even though his cultivation was only at Heavenly True Immortal realm, through the Gods' Sword Intent, he was able to transform into a sword, allowing him to move at a speed even faster than Elder Chou Huo.
"With my Heavenly True Immortal realm cultivation and full control over the Gods' Sword Intent, I should be able to put up a fight against even a Heavenly High Immortal! It won't be easy for that High Immortal realm black-robed man to stop me … "
Sensing the changes in his body, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
Even though he did not manage to gather the High Immortal realm Heaven's Path Divine Art, the twelve movements had given him a deeper understanding of the Gods' Sword Intent, allowing his fighting prowess to soar once more.
Even Elder Bai Ye and the others, whom he had to respect previously, might not be a match for him in a real battle.
"Right, Dongxu Gourd, where are the swords you devoured? You didn't leave two for me? "
Zhang Xuan quickly turned his attention to the Dongxu Gourd in his dantian.
He had instructed the Dongxu Gourd to devour the other party's swords to resolve the crisis they were in, and it had even devoured Elder Chou Huo's swords. He had been in a precarious situation earlier, so he didn't have the time to ask about it.
"Didn't you say that you wouldn't allow me to spit them out? Are you going back on your words? "
"Of course not. I just wanted to ask if you are feeling bloated after swallowing so many swords," Zhang Xuan replied calmly.
"I'm fine. I just finished digesting them," the Dongxu Gourd replied.
"You have finished digesting them?"
Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up. He quickly turned his gaze over and saw the Dongxu Gourd lying lazily in his dantian.
"Forget it …"
Knowing that it would be impossible for him to retrieve the swords that the Dongxu Gourd had devoured, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist, and several corpses appeared before him.
They were the Heavenly High Immortal and the three Heavenly True Immortals who had encircled him previously.
Weng!
As soon as the corpses appeared, a sword suddenly pierced right toward Zhang Xuan's glabella.
It was the High Immortal-tier artifact that the black-robed Heavenly High Immortal had used earlier. Its master had been killed by the book, and before he could even react, he had already kept it in his storage ring.
Hu!
Zhang Xuan raised his finger and pinched the sword lightly.
The sword was swiftly grasped between his fingers.
Back when he was at Pseudo Immortal realm, he had been helpless against a High Immortal-tier artifact. However, now that he was at Heavenly True Immortal realm and had comprehended the Gods' Sword Intent, not even Heavenly High Immortals would be a match for him.
"Y-you …"
The sword was filled with disbelief.
It had only been half an hour, so how did that fellow grow so much stronger all of a sudden?
Paying no heed to the Dongxu Gourd, Zhang Xuan held the sword tightly in his hand and flicked his finger.
Sou sou!
Zhang Xuan's Sword Intent immediately flowed into the sword, and a deafening cry sounded from the sword before its spirit dissipated.
The spirit of the sword had been tamed by the black-robed Heavenly High Immortal, so even if it was tamed, there was a chance that it might betray him. He didn't want his own weapon to turn against him and kill him in a battle.
Thus, in order to avoid trouble, he chose to erase the spirit of the sword with his Gods' Sword Intent.
"You … By doing this, this sword will be as good as crippled!"
Seeing Zhang Xuan's actions, the Tongshang Sword that had just taken out trembled in fear.
It was on par with the black-robed Heavenly High Immortal, and yet, its master was able to erase its spirit in the blink of an eye. Didn't that mean that it would be killed as well?
Just that …
Without its spirit, the sword would be as good as losing its soul. At the very most, it would only be a little tougher, but it wouldn't be able to execute most of the sword arts it wielded.
"Don't worry, it won't be crippled!"
Zhang Xuan chuckled softly as he flicked his finger on the sword once more. Two breaths later, the sword jolted once more, and a crisp buzz sounded from it.
This time, it sounded like the song of a bird, filled with excitement.
"It has regained its spirit?"
The Tongshang Sword nearly fell from the sky.
It took many years for a sword to regain its spirit. Yet, the black-robed Heavenly High Immortal destroyed it with a flick of his finger, and yet, a new spirit appeared in its place.
The Tongshang Sword trembled uncontrollably, not daring to utter a single word.
The reason why it was so arrogant previously was because without it, it would be as good as crippled. As long as one was a swordsman, they would never allow themselves to be destroyed.
But upon seeing the black-robed Heavenly High Immortal's actions, it realized that …
This fellow couldn't be judged by the standards of a normal person!
To be able to erase the spirit of a sword so casually … More importantly, even after erasing it, he was still able to create another one …
In other words, the sword that it was most proud of was nothing before the black-robed Heavenly High Immortal.
It seemed like it mustn't put on airs in the future, or else it would die without even knowing how it died.
At this moment, the Tongshang Sword had completely submitted to Zhang Xuan.
"From today onward, your name is … Longsword!"
After easily assimilating the newly awakened spirit, Zhang Xuan looked at the weapon in his hand in satisfaction.
Just like the Tongshang Sword, it was also a Heavenly High Immortal-tier weapon.
"Longsword?"
The Tongshang Sword trembled a little, and it nearly fell from the sky.
Did it have to be so casual?
Even if it was a High Immortal-tier weapon, it was still one of the top experts on the Master Teacher Continent.
Why did it have to be given such a name?
"Master, do you want to … change your name? This … is too casual! "
The Tongshang Sword said.
"Casual? This … "
Zhang Xuan frowned. "Why don't you call it … Little Sword Sword?"
Putong!
The Tongshang Sword lost its balance and fell to the ground, crying.
The heck, it didn't even sound as good as the first name …
However, it also understood that its master was a terrible name, so there was no point in saying anything more. Thus, it could only swallow its tears and bear with it.
"Let's see if there's anything good in the other party's storage ring …"
Zhang Xuan stowed the Tongshang Sword into his storage ring before turning his attention back to the four corpses not too far away.
The other party was an expert from the Hall of Gods, and his cultivation was so high. Could there be some kind of treasure in his storage ring?
Zhang Xuan flicked his finger, and the four storage rings immediately flew into his hand.
