Chen Zong was completely immersed in the Seven Emotions and Seven Transformations, sinking into oblivion. `
If there were no accidents, he would probably sink into oblivion, forever immersed in the Seven Emotions and Seven Transformations.
The Seven Emotions and Seven Transformations cycled over and over again. His submerged consciousness was suddenly awakened, as if a light had appeared in the chaotic darkness. It gradually became stronger, repelling the chaos around him.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Zong was completely awake. However, the Seven Emotions were still intertwining and surging, but they could not affect him at all. It was as if he had left the world and was standing at a certain height, watching the power of the Seven Emotions from above.
It was very strange. It was as if he had been split into two. One side was directly experiencing the feelings of the Seven Emotions, while the other side was not affected by them. In this strange state, his spiritual will was tempered again and again, and his spiritual power was also strengthened.
His consciousness was clear like never before. Chen Zong knew that his perception had been strengthened.
He did not know how long the temporary increase in perception would last, but he could not waste it. Chen Zong immediately entered a state of enlightenment. What he was trying to comprehend was naturally the Sword Intent.
The Sword Intent had five Minor Sword Intents. Chen Zong had now grasped the Sword Intent, and the other four Minor Sword Intents had left some impression in Chen Zong's consciousness. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Zong chose the second Minor Sword Intent and began to comprehend it.
The Sword Intent!
Swords had both edges and sharpness. The edge of a sword could tear through everything, and the sharpness of a sword could pierce through everything. Edges and sharpness were the foundation of a sword.
Without edges and sharpness, how could a sword be formed?
The sharpness of a sword was unstoppable and indestructible. Chen Zong's eyes shone with an incomparably sharp light. It was as sharp as a sword, able to pierce through everything.
In his consciousness, swords formed out of thin air, stabbing out again and again. Every sword carried extreme sharpness, piercing through everything.
Grass, trees, mountains, rocks, rivers, earth, and even the sky.
Everything was pierced through by the swords.
The mysteries of the Sword Intent appeared bit by bit, and Chen Zong gradually grasped them. He did not know how much time had passed.
When the power of the Seven Lovers Noodles Fruit was exhausted, Chen Zong suddenly came to his senses. It was as if he had fallen from the clouds in an instant, and he directly withdrew from the state of enlightenment.
His consciousness returned to his body, and he instantly woke up. He didn't feel weak at all. Instead, he felt that his spirit had become stronger.
After sensing it carefully, Chen Zong could tell that his mental power was at least twice as strong as before, and he could vaguely feel a sharpness in the depths of his spiritual space.
True Meaning of Sword Sharpness!
"As expected of a treasure that is not a spiritual medicine but is better than a spiritual medicine. Not only did it double my mental power, but it also allowed me to comprehend and master the true meaning of Sword Sharpness." A smile appeared on Chen Zong's face.
His mental power was already much more powerful than martial artists of the same level, and now that it was doubled, it was undoubtedly even more shocking.
As for whether his comprehensive ability had improved slightly, Chen Zong could not feel it. After all, his comprehensive ability was already very high before, and the Seven Lovers Noodles Fruit's improvement was limited.
However, even if his comprehensive ability did not get a permanent slight improvement, it was still fine. Just the double increase of his mental power and the comprehension of the true meaning of Sword Sharpness had already made Chen Zong very satisfied.
Currently, Chen Zong had mastered three types of Minor Zhen Meanings, which were the Sword Intent, the Sword Sharpness Intent, and the Flowing Water Intent. In terms of the mastery of the Minor Zhen Meanings, Chen Zong was already at the master level. The only thing he lacked was his battling power.
"Let's try the Sword Sharpness Intent."
Chen Zong murmured to himself. He first took out a rank two Pseudo Spiritual Item inner armor, activated its power, and threw it forward. He directly pulled out his sword, and under the activation of his mental power, a trace of extremely sharp power condensed on the Star Scar Sword, and stabbed out.
The deep blue sword light condensed into a beam, which was as thick as a chopstick. It instantly pierced through the void and hit the rank two Pseudo Spiritual Item inner armor that had been activated.
After activating its power, the second level pseudo-spiritual armor had an extremely strong defensive power, which was very difficult to break. Chen Zong did not use the Unhindered True Power in this sword, and even used only a little of his physique to stab out this sword. The true power contained in this sword was the Sword Intent of Sharpness.
As the sword arrived, the defensive power of the rank two Pseudo Spiritual Item inner armor was pierced through like a piece of paper. Then, the inner armor itself was pierced through as well, and Chen Zong only felt a little bit of resistance.
"If I had used my Zhen Qi, this sword attack should have been able to pierce through the rank three Pseudo Spiritual Item inner armor." Chen Zong thought to himself. Under the situation where the Sword Sharpness Intent had been infused, it would undoubtedly be even more powerful.
"About a quarter of my mental power has been consumed." Chen Zong felt the rate of mental power consumption and couldn't help but feel delighted.
The consumption of the Sword Sharpness Intent and the Sword Edge Intent was about the same. Previously, when Chen Zong executed the Sword Edge Intent, he had consumed 80% of his mental power. When he executed the Sword Edge Intent, he had consumed about 70% of his mental power.
Now that his mental power had been enhanced, he had only consumed a quarter of his mental power to execute the Sword Sharpness Intent, which was undoubtedly a huge improvement.
Chen Zong was not in a hurry to come out of seclusion. Instead, he began to cultivate the first transformation of the Mind Change. He strived to master the first transformation of the Mind Change as soon as possible and cultivate the Mind Body.
With one hand supporting the sky and the other pressing down on the ground, he was in the middle, like a bridge connecting heaven and earth. It was faster than the first time he cultivated. The mysterious power between heaven and earth appeared again and poured into Chen Zong's body. Chen Zong guided the power to surround his body, causing his body to transform bit by bit.
The Mind Body was said to be a kind of physique, but it was more like a kind of ability and talent. After cultivating it, it would exist forever and would not disappear because of a change in cultivation technique. This was the power of the Mind Change.
As the mysterious power between heaven and earth flowed throughout his body, Chen Zong felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring. It was incomparably comfortable. His spirit relaxed, but it didn't dissipate. His body also slowly relaxed as if he had lost all his strength, but all his strength was hidden within his body.
It was as if he had returned to his mother's womb. In this incomparable comfort, his body gradually transformed in all aspects.
Unable to feel the passage of time, when the cultivation ended and he woke up, Chen Zong stretched his muscles and bones. His entire body was filled with powerful vitality, and every part of his body seemed to be cheering.
It was refreshing to the bone marrow and the soul.
He tried to condense and explode his strength, and there was an improvement. If compared to before he cultivated the Second Transformation of the Mind Change, his strength had increased by about 30%.
After cultivating to this point, Chen Zong decided to come out of seclusion to see if there were any other matters. If there weren't, then he would continue his seclusion.
He walked out of the secret room and asked the housekeeper. During this time, the Ninth Prince came, but it wasn't anything important.
In the courtyard, Chen Zong drew his sword and cultivated for a while. Just as he was about to cultivate the Second Transformation of the Mind Change, a powerful aura quickly approached.
"Chen Zong, come and receive the imperial edict …" A high-pitched and sharp voice pierced through the clouds, startling Chen Zong.
The housekeeper hurriedly rushed to open the door, and saw a man wearing a golden floral robe walking in. His face was pale without a beard, and his skin was pale. There was a gloomy aura around him.
The man walked in with quick steps, holding a horsetail whisk in one hand and a golden scroll in the other. It was an imperial edict.
This man was a eunuch of the Imperial Family, a eunuch.
The man's aura was very powerful, and he was an Extreme Mortal Realm warrior.
"Chen Zong, kneel down and receive the imperial edict …" The eunuch's sharp gaze swept across Chen Zong's face. The high-pitched voice sounded again.
"Wu Min Chen Zong, receive the imperial edict." Chen Zong knelt down on one knee. The housekeeper and the group of maids all knelt down on both knees, trembling in fear.
If it was an ordinary person or a weak cultivator, they would have to kneel down on both knees before the Emperor and the imperial edict. However, the stronger cultivators or geniuses didn't need to. They only needed to kneel down on one knee. As for the Transcendents, they didn't need to kneel before the Emperor. They could just bow and salute.
The eunuch glanced at Chen Zong. He opened the imperial edict in an orderly manner and read the words on it.
"By the Emperor's decree … Wu Min Chen Zong has outstanding talent, and has the potential to become a dragon. He should be placed in an important position. He is hereby appointed as the Vice Commander of the Dragonteeth Guard, effective today …" The eunuch closed the imperial edict after reading it, and looked at Chen Zong with a smile on his face, "Vice Commander Chen, please don't thank the Emperor for his grace."
"I thank the Emperor for his grace." Chen Zong raised both hands and accepted the imperial edict, even though he was confused.
"Congratulations, Vice Commander Chen. Remember to report to the Dragonteeth Guard headquarters as soon as possible." The eunuch smiled and placed the imperial edict in Chen Zong's hands, then turned and left.
As one of the Emperor's men, and a powerful Extreme Mortal Realm cultivator himself, he didn't need to look at anyone else's face apart from the Emperor, nor did he need to deliberately curry favor with others.
The eunuch left after delivering the imperial edict. The entire process was very short, and Chen Zong felt like he couldn't react in time. Holding the imperial edict with both hands, Chen Zong couldn't help but think.
If he remembered correctly, the Dragonteeth Guard's Inspector was the Third Prince. To put it simply, the Dragonteeth Guard belonged to the Third Prince's faction to a certain extent, and he belonged to the Ninth Prince's faction. Even if he was appointed, he should've entered the Dragoneye Guard.
Why was he appointed to the Dragonteeth Guard?
And to the position of Vice Commander as soon as he arrived?
There must be a reason behind this that he didn't know.
The first person Chen Zong thought of was the Third Prince.
After putting the imperial edict into his mustard seed bag, Chen Zong no longer had the mood to practice his sword. He immediately left the Suran Residence and headed towards the Ninth Prince's residence.
… …
"What? You were appointed as Vice Commander of the Dragonteeth Guard by Imperial Father's decree?! "The Ninth Prince was extremely shocked after hearing Chen Zong's words, because he had no idea about this at all.
Chen Zong took out the imperial edict and handed it to the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince opened it and took a few glances. It was indeed an imperial edict, and no one dared to issue a fake edict within the Imperial City.
"What does Imperial Father mean by this?" The Ninth Prince closed the imperial edict and couldn't help but ponder, his brows furrowed tightly.
Chen Zong then spoke of his own conjecture.
"Brother Chen's words make sense. It's very likely that Third Brother is behind this. He wants you to enter the Dragonteeth Guard so that he can slowly deal with you and weaken my strength," the Ninth Prince said with certainty. He then said to Chen Zong with an apologetic tone, "Brother Chen, I didn't think that Third Brother would do such a thing. Since Imperial Father has already issued an imperial edict, I can't change it. However, I can be certain that there's definitely something good about you being appointed as Vice Commander of the Dragonteeth Guard. You must be careful."
Chen Zong nodded. Since things had come to this point, he could only welcome everything, whether it was a challenge or a scheme.
"Also, I'm very sorry Brother Chen. The Marquis of Mighty Mountain didn't receive any punishment because of Third Brother's interference." The Ninth Prince said apologetically. Chen Zong wasn't surprised. This was within reason.
