This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Lu Qingshan closed his eyes tightly, his heart calm as still water, sensing the fluctuations of Primordial Intent emanating from that clump of Spiritual Sense.

Suddenly, a vortex appeared before him, sweeping his consciousness into it, and in the blink of an eye, a barren land appeared in his consciousness.

Boom!

Accompanied by the sound of spring thunder tearing through the sky, the sparse pitter-patter of rain began to sound.

Scattered raindrops fell from the sky, slowly evolving into a drizzle and then turning into a torrential downpour.

On the earth, spring buds began to sprout gradually; strains of green grass struggled to poke their heads out.

From the perspective of an observer, Lu Qingshan quietly watched and felt; however, after a long time, he still grasped nothing.

In his view, this was purely a scene of spring rain sprinkling down, reviving all things; he could not see where it related to Immortal True Intent at all.

In the outer world, the green light enveloping Lu Qingshan's body grew increasingly intense, with clouds steaming and mists swirling.

His breathing was very steady, the white mist he exhaled was like Immortal Qi.

This was the origin of life.

The plants stimulated by the Immortal True Intent enshrouded Lu Qingshan completely, causing Yaoyao and the Rat King standing by to stare in dumbfounded amazement.

Thump, thump, thump!

At that moment, a violent fluctuation occurred within Lu Qingshan's body; his chest began to heave violently, like a drum being beaten.

This was his heart, throbbing intensely under the stimulus of a strong life force.

His flesh also became crystalline and translucent, bursting with auspicious light.

Just as these changes occurred in his body, Lu Qingshan's consciousness also finally underwent a transformation.

He unexpectedly shifted from an observer's perspective to become a wild weed under the soil, listening to the relentless pounding of raindrops hitting the earth, and all he could do was endure and struggle to sprout from the soil.

Too heavy!

Lu Qingshan was faintly aware, but the weight of this layer of soil kept him from breaking free from its restraint; the raindrops continued to pour down, preventing him from feeling precisely.

Suddenly, Lu Qingshan seemed to remember something and unconsciously began to circulate his Cultivation Technique.

Taoist Treasury (Golden Core Chapter)

Cultivation Technique Effect 5: Taoist methods are natural, understanding Tao through the body. Practicing Taoist Treasury will enhance the Cultivator's aptitude, making it easier for Cultivators to comprehend and elevate their Intent.

...…

Taoist methods are natural, understanding Tao through the body!

As Spiritual Power coursed through his body again and again according to the Cultivation Technique, Lu Qingshan's spirit suddenly became unprecedentedly clear, feeling as if time itself had slowed down.

Amidst the vagueness...

An infinite desire suddenly surged in Lu Qingshan's heart… This was the yearning from the weed, and it was this yearning that bestowed new strength upon him.

With a pop,

the weed he had become finally shook off the shackles of the dust and broke through the soil,

This was the weed's first glimpse of the world.

The world was boundlessly vast, filled with stars.

The weed was verdant, green halos like light, filled with vigorous vitality, exhibiting an inexplicable grandeur of Tao.

Then, its perception continuously extended and expanded, even stretching towards the sky, gradually, the entire sky entered into the weed's perception.

The view was endlessly broad.

Yet, the weed was still not satisfied, wanting to stretch into the void, but just like it had been restrained by the earth, this expanse of sky also confined the weed's perception.

But the yearning in the heart of the weed grew even more intense.

Lu Qingshan understood clearly, becoming more focused and immersed in the world of the weed's spirit, feeling the weed's yearning.

Or rather, it was his own yearning.

Intent varies with each individual.

For the same intent, the effect can differ dramatically from one person to another.

Naturally, what each person perceives in the process of comprehension also varies, linked to their strengths and temperament.

Yet, all paths eventually lead to the same destination.

Gradually, under that yearning and extension, Lu Qingshan seemed to see the end of heaven and earth, where murky clouds swirled, appearing very vague and dim.

Suddenly, he felt his perspective wrench away from this tuft of weed, reverting to that of an onlooker.

"What is this?" Lu Qingshan suddenly widened his eyes, his pupils constricting as he stared intently at the scene before him.

A tuft of grass unleashed unparalleled Heaven-reaching Sword Qi, slashing towards that hazy heaven and earth. The cloudy layers under this strike of Sword Qi slowly parted to form a dividing line.

Yin and Yang sliced through dawn and dusk.

What an astonishing sight!

And it wasn't over yet!

Following that, the tuft of grass suddenly shot up from the ground, transforming into a formidable sword with its insignificant and tiny existence, bursting forth with earth-shattering Sword Intent.

With one strike, the clouds dispersed and a sliver of light slowly emerged.

"A most insignificant and weak tuft of weed, yet capable of creating heaven and earth," Lu Qingshan felt his heart surge, "This is the meaning of life, from an insignificant form, endless possibilities arise, evolving into immortality."

Sword Qi filled the sky, and once again, Lu Qingshan focused his mind, preparing to deeply comprehend the underlying intent.

However, at that instant, the whole world started spinning, everything beginning to blur.

By the time Lu Qingshan came to his senses, the scene had returned to reality, with himself seated cross-legged under a peach tree, the green light around his body completely vanished, surrounded by lush plants.

It was the batch of Spiritual Sense gifted by the Longevity Whale that had been completely exhausted, which is why he had emerged from the state of enlightenment.

"How do you feel?" Seeing Lu Qingshan regaining his senses, Qingqiu Mountain Master asked gently, his eyes kind and compassionate.

Lu Qingshan glanced over the flickering firefly-like characters before his eyes:

"Comprehension of Intent!...."

"...you have gained some comprehension of Immortal Sword Intent!"

"...you have gained some comprehension of Immortal Sword Intent!"

"Your Divine Sense has improved! (+50)"

Immortal Sword Intent (Protypal Form): Primordial Intent, possessing the power of immortality and evolution."

"Some gains," Lu Qingshan said, a bit lost in thought.

It seemed because his comprehension was not yet comprehensive, his Immortal Sword Intent was still in its protypal form, unable to fully take shape.

But his mind sunk into deep thought; having felt the protypal form of the Immortal Sword Intent, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

Primordial Intent was indeed the most formidable force of intent.

Just a protypal form already possessed the power to change the heavens and the earth!

"Human Race's perception is indeed enviable. Even though I have a divine advantage, it still took me nearly ten thousand years to truly master the Immortal True Intent. But you, in such a short time, have already understood some of it," Qingqiu Mountain Master couldn't help remarking, "However, even among the Human Race, you must be one of the most talented."

Lu Qingshan remained silent.

The point the Mountain Lord made was quite right.

Putting aside his Spirit Root, in the realm of Sword Dao, he indeed was among those rare individuals in the Human Race who could compare. Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire

Lu Qingshan did not say more and turned his head to look at Mimi beside him.

At this moment, the life energy emanating from it had grown considerably stronger, and all life characteristics had mostly recovered.

"It's fortunate; though it has suffered a lot, it's just that its life essence was damaged without any lingering hidden injuries. Consider this a lesson for it," Qingqiu Mountain Master said light-heartedly, "After all, they can't stay in Qingqiu forever. Sooner or later, there will be a day when they leave Qingqiu, and this experience will be its biggest warning."

Lu Qingshan nodded in agreement and then said, "Since this matter is resolved, Mountain Lord, I am ready to take my leave."

Qingqiu Mountain Master wasn't surprised nor did he attempt to detain him.
