This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

"In addition, there are countless Intents, but based on their strength, they are divided into four grades."

"From weakest to strongest, they are Lower Rank Intent, Middle Rank Intent, Higher Rank Intent, and the rarest but most powerful, Primordial Intent."

"The difficulty of comprehending Intents differs for each rank, with the Lower Rank Intent being relatively easier to understand and improve upon."

"Whereas Higher Rank Intent is very difficult to even perceive, but once successfully comprehended, even a weak level of Higher Rank Intent can be stronger than a Unified Level of Lower Rank Intent," Lu Qingshan added.

His Slaughter Sword Intent was one of the Higher Rank Intents.

After pausing, Lu Qingshan went on to say, "Furthermore, comprehension of an Intent is not something that stays the same forever."

"Even if the Intent you initially perceive is of the Lower Rank, when you cultivate it to Perfection, you still have a chance to thoroughly comprehend it, reaching an understanding of the corresponding Middle Rank Intent."

Of course, this upgrade is limited; it can only be a direct advancement from one level to the next.

For example, Water Wave Intent as a Lower Rank Intent can only be promoted to a Middle Rank Intent through deepening one's understanding of the Water Element; it would be absurd to think that the Water Wave Intent could be upgraded to, say, Purgatory Intent, that belongs to a completely different Attribute's Middle Rank Intent.

To take Lu Qingshan's Slaughter Sword Intent as an example, the corresponding Primordial Intent is the Destruction True Intent.

That is to say, if Lu Qingshan wanted to upgrade his Slaughter Sword Intent, the only way would be through the path of Destruction Sword Intent, and no other paths would work, just like that.

The Qingqiu Mountain Master interjected, "You do have a very clear understanding of Intents."

At this moment, Lu Qingshan suddenly realized something, "Does the Mountain Lord mean that this aura is related to Intent?"

"Yes," the Qingqiu Mountain Master said slowly, seeing that Lu Qingshan had caught on: "It is actually a cluster of Spiritual Sense that contains comprehension of an Intent."

"If you are destined, one day when you have a realization about the Intent it contains, it will come into effect and help you quickly comprehend this Intent."

So that was it.

Lu Qingshan nodded silently, but then he frowned slightly and asked curiously, "May I know what Intent it contains? Please enlighten me, Mountain Lord."

"The Intent it contains happens to be one I have mastered, which is why I said there was a familiar aura about you," the Qingqiu Mountain Master said with a light chuckle.

After a pause, he continued, "As for the Intent I have mastered, if I remember correctly, it is one of the Primordial Intents, which your Human Race refers to as... Immortal True Intent. But I prefer its other name, Life True Intent."

Even someone as knowledgeable as Lu Qingshan couldn't help but be deeply shaken upon hearing this news.

You see, up to now, the only person he had seen possessing a Primordial Intent was the Void Demon Child.

And the Void Demon Child's Space True Intention wasn't cultivated by himself but was due to his Bloodline.

"May I ask, what is the Mountain Lord's current level of Cultivation?" Lu Qingshan wondered with amazement and doubt.

The Qingqiu Mountain Master replied gently, "It's not as exaggerated as you imagine."

"You must understand that in terms of comprehension, the Demon Clan has never been superior to the Human Race. Their combat power is usually reliant on the awakening of their own Bloodline. Intents have always been a significant barrier that is difficult for the Demon Clan to overcome."

"Not to mention, among my own Race, my comprehension abilities are ranked quite low for a Grass and Wood Demon."

After thinking for a moment, the Qingqiu Mountain Master explained, "The only reason I have mastered the Immortal True Intent is through a fortuitous coincidence."

"In terms of actual Cultivation, I am at the Fifth Grade, equivalent to the Void Refining level of your Human Race."

"However, if the location is limited to within Qingqiu, I'd say I'm pretty much unbeatable within the Fifth Grade."

The Qingqiu Mountain Master was very candid, unafraid to reveal his shortcomings while at the same time displaying an undisguised domineering aura.

"The phrase 'unmatched in one's class' is not something ordinary people dare to say."

In fact, just as the Qingqiu Mountain Master said, the Human Race has always been known for its enlightenment.

A frail mortal who is born without any bloodline awakening can often achieve through cultivation what demons consider a remarkably short time, transforming decrepitude into wonder and growing into a cultivator with great powers that even the Great Demons fear.

This is something many from the Demon Clan cannot understand but deeply admire.

"Are you interested in the Immortal True Intent?" the Qingqiu Mountain Master asked with a serious look, finally turning to the main topic.

Lu Qingshan was startled at first, but then chuckled, "Primordial Intent, who among the cultivators wouldn't be interested?"

"You brought back Mimi, saving it from the sea of misery, and no matter what, this favor must be repaid," the Qingqiu Mountain Master said with a smile. "Since you possess the Immortal True Intent gifted by a great power and are interested in it, why don't I give you a hand then?"

Something stirred in Lu Qingshan's heart.

His reason for seeking out Mimi was to repay the life-saving kindness of the Qingqiu Mountain Master; he shouldn't have accepted any further reward.

But the conditions proposed by the Qingqiu Mountain Master were simply irresistible.

He was well aware of the significance represented by the Primordial Intent.

Lu Qingshan wasn't one to put on airs, and he had no reason to refuse the Qingqiu Mountain Master's offer, so he bowed deeply to the Qingqiu Mountain Master, "Then I shall trouble the Mountain Lord."

The Qingqiu Mountain Master laughed lightly, "I'm just serving as a catalyst. If you didn't already harbor the Immortal True Intent within you, I'd be powerless to help.

"Moreover, I cannot guarantee that you'll ultimately grasp the Immortal True Intent, because, after all, the understanding of such intent must come from within yourself."

"The young one understands this naturally," Lu Qingshan said.

"Good, then get ready," said the Qingqiu Mountain Master.

Lu Qingshan quickly adjusted his breathing, calmed his mind and spirit, and sat cross-legged under the peach tree.

"It's starting," the Qingqiu Mountain Master said gently. Then his face disappeared from the trunk of the tree, his body began to glow, and more than a dozen branches shone with a treasured light.

A speck of cyan light flew up from the midst, turning into a mist of this color, a flood of auspicious light, all entering Lu Qingshan's body.

With a boom.

After these mists entered his body, the cluster of cyan light that existed within Lu Qingshan instantly exploded, surging like a vast ocean.

This was a gift from the Ancient Spirit Beast Longevity Whale.

A sea of cyan luminescence poured out from within his physical body, enveloping his entire form, and even radiated to the surrounding area.

It was like the Sea of Life descending, and wherever the cyan luminescence sprinkled, various plants began to grow wildly, exuding a stunning vitality!

Among the grasses and in the soil, many seeds took root and sprouted instantly, bursting forth from the ground, while the plants that had already grown branches shot up at a high speed.

The Immortal True Intent is also known as the True Intent of Life.

And this is one of its effects.

Watching Lu Qingshan, who had closed his eyes, immersed in comprehension, the Qingqiu Mountain Master murmured, "Sword Cultivators are known for their prowess in slaughter, and you possess the Slaughter Sword Intent. You should have no connection to the Immortal True Intent, which represents life, and it should be difficult for you to touch the Immortal True Intent.

"But if the powerful one who gifted you the Immortal True Intent did so willingly, it must not have been an impulsive decision; surely they saw a possibility between you and the Immortal True Intent."

As if reflecting on something, the Qingqiu Mountain Master couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, if you manage to comprehend it, the combination of a Sword Cultivator who has slain countless with the Immortal True Intent, a representation of life, would truly be a rarity."
