Could it be that some demon is born nearby?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It must be the thunder sent by the induction of heaven! The Altar City never has thunder at this time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it because the Heavenly Boat landed, the movement was too big, and it led to the birth of those immortal mansions left in the broken space?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally it was a clear sky, but in an instant, the sky was dark, dark clouds rolled, and thunder rumbled, one after another, accompanied by lightning striking over the Altar City, as if it were going to strike the Altar City floating in the air. If it didn't contain the power of tribulation, it would be like some cultivator was about to break the realm and cross the heavenly tribulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Activate the formation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The order came from the city wall, and the peddlers and shop assistants in the Altar City hurriedly collected their goods and hid in the house. I saw a ball of light slowly rising over the Dao Palace, flashing violently, wrapping the Altar City up and down. No matter how the lightning bombarded, it was absorbed by the misty formation power. Several people also walked out of the Dao Palace, looking up at the sky, seemingly preparing to deal with the next unexpected change in the weather. Only the giant turtle at the entrance of the Altar City, with its four limbs paddling, swam comfortably in the lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is there thunder in the Altar City at this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thunder rang for about half an hour, and finally faded away, but not a drop of rain fell. The Dao Palace withdrew the formation and sent many cultivators to all sides. The cultivators in the market were discussing endlessly, mostly guessing whether space fragments passed over Nanzhuzhou, or whether demons or spiritual treasures were born, shaking the weather. After all, such a huge thunder, even if it is common in the rainy season of Nanzhuzhou, must have a reason for sudden roaring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master, the Altar City Dao Palace has sent manpower, holding the Star-Fixing Plate to the clouds, looking for the weak point of the space.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Chen Jun's Cave Heaven, several deacons knelt down to report. Chen Jun sat cross-legged, nodded without speaking, pondered for a while, and then said, \"Send letters to all disciples, the space of the Altar City may be unstable, the Heavenly Boat may have to avoid it temporarily, such a situation will be more complicated, tell them to be careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He threw a small flag from his sleeve, \"Send this Cloud Sail to Yanqing for his protection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone took orders and left. Chen Jun closed his eyes, seemingly wanting to enter meditation again, but remembered something, and said, \"Go and ask Lin Ji, what is Young Lady Ci doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his Cave Heaven, big and small things actually couldn't be hidden from the master, but Chen Jun refused to check, just waiting for Lin Ji's reply. After a while, the maidservant returned, knelt down and reported, \"Young Lady Ci has been reading books these days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paused, and then said, \"Sister Lin Ji said, Young Lady Ci ate three plates of fragrant osmanthus roe deer meat today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jun's mouth also twitched. As his thoughts turned, a copper plate in front of him lit up, showing the scene in the Pine Pavilion. Ruan Ci was leaning on the concubine couch, with a plate of meat jerky on her stomach, holding a book in one hand, and slowly taking the meat jerky to her mouth with the other hand. Although the movement was slow, it was not broken. She was chewing this one in her mouth, and her hand went to take the next one. Such a long-term consumption was very expensive, and this plate of meat jerky was only a small half left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She is quite leisurely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jun naturally knew the books in the Pine Pavilion. Seeing Ruan Ci reading a \"True Explanation of Intent Cultivation\", he didn't care even more. He flicked his sleeves and said indifferently, \"Lin Ji is also acting on her own. Who let her enter the Pine Pavilion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he just blamed her a little, and didn't mention it again. Thinking that Ruan Ci hadn't come to the front hall for a while, it saved him trouble and reduced cause and effect. The next day, he issued an order to buy some spiritual food into the mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>#\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci here, naturally knew nothing about the Altar City's approach of facing a great enemy. She had been in the Altar City for less than two years and was not familiar with the weather. She just thought it was an accidental thunderstorm. She was startled at first, but soon settled down. Leaning on reading that \"True Explanation of Intent Cultivation\", she found it more and more funny. After reading it slowly, she couldn't help but joke with Wang Panpan when she went back, \"So many True Outside Special Transmissions have many absurdities, but it is not unimaginable, it's just that the conditions are too harsh, no wonder it can't be spread. The Intent Cultivation method I saw today is truly unimaginable. Has anyone really succeeded in this Dao lineage?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's why I told you not to read those miscellaneous books,\" Wang Panpan seized the opportunity to attack Ruan Ci, \"Intent Cultivation is unimaginable? It's just that your cultivation hasn't reached that step yet. Many miscellaneous cultivation methods are invented by true cultivators to assist their own cultivation. Intent Cultivation is used by Dao Ancestor reincarnations and great powers to cultivate a second path. Naturally, you think it's unimaginable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reincarnation? Isn't it said that cultivators only cultivate for one life and cannot reincarnate?\" Ruan Ci was curious again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't this rule also set by the Dao Ancestor... The Nether Leaving Fire Dao Ancestor doesn't like cultivators to reincarnate, so he set this rule. All cultivator true spirits flying into the underworld will go to another place, not entering the six-path reincarnation cycle.\" Wang Panpan said, \"But how can the Dao Ancestor manage the Dao Ancestor? These are anecdotes that everyone in the cultivation world knows... You should also read \"Heavenly Boat Crossing\" if you want to read, why read miscellaneous cultivation classics.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heavenly Boat Crossing\" is a miscellaneous note and prose, recording many anecdotes of Langhuan Zhou Tian, and the situation of major continents. It is named after the Heavenly Boat crossing the world, cultivators cannot cultivate, can only chat, and this book provides conversation for cultivators of all parties. Ruan Ci wanted to read it to relieve boredom after finishing the classics. At the moment, she smoothed Wang Panpan's fur and brought out the meat jerky she specially brought back for her to eat. Wang Panpan was happier and pointed out carefully, \"Dao Ancestor reincarnation has many purposes. Sometimes it is to solve the limitations of congenital, just like cosmic congenital spiritual treasures. Although they are Dao Ancestor status as soon as they are born, if they don't reincarnate, they will never be able to transcend. In order to transcend, most will reincarnate for one life. And how should they re-combine the Dao after reincarnation? This Intent Cultivation method is born from this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called Intent Cultivation is a mysterious and mysterious cultivation method that looks extremely impossible—the true cultivation lineage of this universe, to put it bluntly, is to absorb spiritual energy, polish oneself, open up Qi Sea, Dantian, Consciousness Sea, etc. in the body, spiritual power and physical body stimulate each other, forge Golden Core, and step by step understand the three thousand avenues of the universe, and steadily enter the Dao Ancestor realm. But the cultivation method of True Outside Special Transmission abandons the mutual quenching of spiritual power and physical body, and directly touches the power of laws with a mortal body. For example, Law Cultivation, Vow Cultivation, are all like this. A mortal can also make vows and set laws, but doing so takes more time and is more difficult than true cultivation. If you have this leisure time, it is better to cultivate true cultivation well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Intent Cultivation is the same, with this flavor. The so-called Intent Cultivation refers to what a cultivator firmly believes in his heart, he is what—for example, if a mortal firmly believes that he is a Qi Refining cultivator, then he is a Qi Refining cultivator. If he firmly believes that he is a Dao Ancestor, he is a Dao Ancestor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, everyone can imagine. If it is just what you believe, then the world will be in chaos. Find someone to confuse the mind and call yourself a Dao Ancestor, wouldn't you have the power of a Dao Ancestor? The difficulty of this Intent Cultivation method lies here—this mortal who firmly believes that he is a Qi Refining cultivator must imagine every subtle detail of the Qi Refining stage in his brain, and it must be exactly the same as the real situation, so that he can obtain the cultivation of the Qi Refining stage in an instant. By the same token, if he wants to become a Dao Ancestor, he must first construct the Dao Ancestor's control over the rules before he can ascend to the sky in one step and refine the law and combine the Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you are not a Qi Refining cultivator, how can you know the details of a Qi Refining cultivator like the back of your hand? If you are already a Qi Refining cultivator, then what do you need the Intent Cultivation method for? This Intent Cultivation is laughable to most cultivators. Ruan Ci only learned that it was used by Dao Ancestor reincarnations to re-combine the Dao after Wang Panpan mentioned it. After the Dao Ancestor reincarnates, there will naturally be opportunities for him to retrieve his previous life's memories. At that time, with the Intent Cultivation method, he can ascend to the sky in one step and re-combine the Dao. Or some Cave Heaven ancestors have begun to study the laws and are preparing to combine the Dao. Sometimes they will set up another incarnation to understand the Dao, and they will use the Intent Cultivation method to evolve the split spirit. In this way, even if the understanding fails and they go into fire and demon, the impact on the true body will be minimized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This cultivation method is prepared for great powers. It is indeed absurd for bottom-level cultivators. For example, this Intent Cultivation method only stops at the cultivation base. Your cultivation base has gone up a level, but your physique will not be strengthened in any way. How can a mortal body carry the consciousness sea of a great power? I am afraid that it will die of exhaustion at that time. The physical body has not been quenched, and there is no corresponding spiritual treasure. Even if the cultivation base goes up, it will always be weaker than cultivators of the same rank.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Panpan talked eloquently, \"Only Dao Ancestor reincarnation, all the magic treasures and spiritual materials needed are prepared in advance, and even the previous life's body has been refined into treasure medicine, just waiting for the self of this life to take it. The previous life's spiritual treasures have also been waiting for a long time. Only in this way can the Intent Cultivation method be used. So you say the Intent Cultivation method is useless, this is also correct. It is indeed useless to us. There are many miscellaneous cultivation methods like this. It was not intended for ordinary cultivators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci was thoughtful and nodded without speaking. Wang Panpan glanced at her and smiled, \"Are you thinking in your heart, if you were the reincarnation of the East China Sword, how good would it be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci shook her head, \"I am me, why do I hope I am someone else's reincarnation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if you hope, there is no such good thing. Dao Ancestor reincarnation, the true spirit is complete, but Qing Jun's true spirit was broken into thousands of micro-dust long ago,\" Wang Panpan said, \"So this Intent Cultivation method is not suitable for you. I know what you are thinking. In Langhuan Zhou Tian, you cannot refine spiritual energy if you cannot sense the Dao rhyme. Intent Cultivation can bypass this limitation and directly touch that trace of law in the dark, allowing you to have spiritual power—but this is a cycle that never ends. You cannot refine spiritual energy, so you will not know the feeling of a Qi Refining cultivator, and you will never be able to use the Intent Cultivation method.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Instrument Cultivation, it is also True Outside Special Transmission. There is no distinction between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment. It only depends on the quality of the life-bound magic treasure. At most, it is divided into realms from the perspective of combat power, which is convenient for outsiders to understand. No matter how far Ruan Ci goes on the path of Instrument Cultivation, it will not help the path of Intent Cultivation. Ruan Ci said, \"I'm just chatting with you, Panpan, your defensive heart is too strong, are you so afraid that I won't take the path of Instrument Cultivation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Panpan's cat ears drooped, her tail flicked, and she sneered, \"I'm afraid you will suffer, so I told you more. It turns out it was wishful thinking. You treat me the same as those demons in Yanshan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci thought, \"Actually, there is no difference. You say you let me choose, but isn't it still asking others to wait for me in the Altar City for three years?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She worshipped the Profound Heaven Sect, indeed led by Wang Panpan, and the Profound Heaven Sect didn't seem to hate Xie Yanhuan as much as Wang Panpan said. Ruan Ci had never mentioned these things, but it didn't mean it could be ignored. It was like a stone that couldn't be bypassed in the conversation. Ruan Ci didn't speak, but Wang Panpan's tail flicked harder and harder, and finally meowed loudly, \"It's true that I arranged for you to worship the Profound Heaven Sect, but I didn't lie to you. You are equally dangerous wherever you go. Now the Profound Heaven Sect is the safest place for you. I have worked hard for more than three years, isn't it good enough for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci hurriedly said, \"It's good enough, it's good enough, thank you for your hard work, Panpan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She comforted her well for a long time, and Wang Panpan finally calmed down, sobbing in Ruan Ci's arms, \"You said you wanted to return the sword to the master, that's what you said yourself, then you must take the path of Instrument Cultivation. I arranged it all according to your own wishes. Why do you blame me instead? If you change your mind, tell me early, don't speak ill of me in your heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cat had a big temper, scolded Ruan Ci for a long time meowing and wailing. Ruan Ci comforted her, only feeling exhausted physically and mentally, and didn't even want to contemplate the sword intent map when she fell on the bed. She thought, \"Cats are more unreasonable than women. I definitely want to return the East China Sword to Sister Xie, but this doesn't mean I have to listen to other people's arrangements for everything. Is returning the sword the only thought of my life? I am very grateful to Sister Xie for saving me, but it doesn't mean I live for her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking back now, starting from the fox slave leading the way, every step she took was full of strong manipulation, one ring after another. Although Xie Yanhuan left, Ruan Ci seemed to still live in her arrangements. A key point is that Ruan Ci cannot sense the Dao rhyme and cannot cultivate true cultivation in Langhuan Zhou Tian. Think about it, if she could cultivate true cultivation, then after Xie Yanhuan returned, she returned the East China Sword, and she still had a cultivation base, whether it was high or low, she wouldn't die on the spot. She looked closely at the classics of miscellaneous cultivation in the room, and also considered this aspect, but it was indeed as Wang Panpan said, the path of miscellaneous cultivation is limited, no wonder it is just a special transmission, not the mainstream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, she had a trace of interest in that Intent Cultivation method, but after hearing what Wang Panpan said, it was indeed not suitable for her. Ruan Ci had a trace of loss in her heart, but it passed quickly. She gathered her spirit and continued to contemplate the sword intent map as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her consciousness, an ancient long sword rotated as if it were solid. Ruan Ci's consciousness wrapped around it, trying to integrate it. This seemed to anger the long sword. The sword body trembled slightly, and Ruan Ci's heart and spirit were shocked. She seemed to see the long sword that pierced the Zhou Tian and wore the moon and stars again—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the sword user connects to the long sword, it often triggers illusions, just like when she first sensed it, falling into a mysterious realm, and the insights gained after waking up cannot be expressed in words. Ruan Ci was used to this and was not panicked. In a trance, she gradually fell into a deep sleep—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After an unknown amount of time, someone patted her cheek and called, \"Senior brother, senior brother, get up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Updated, sorry for the long wait, everyone. I'm going to eat steak noodles tonight! After the noodles are cooked, mix them with steak soup, add some chili, it's fragrant and delicious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have read several books recently, \"Guan Mian Tang Huang\", \"Nong Jia Xiao Fu Nu\", \"Wu Lun Wei Jin\", \"World Tree Game\", all are quite good. The first one is a time-travel to the Tang Dynasty, time-traveling to be Wu Zetian's grandson. The author's classical Chinese foundation is super deep, and the words are carefully considered. It's just that I don't think there are many refreshing points, but the book itself is definitely a boutique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nong Jia Xiao Fu Nu\" is a farming novel, 1800 chapters, the male and female protagonists are only 14 years old, written from 4 years old, there are no years later, is it powerful or not... But I don't think it's particularly watery, I think it's quite good OTL\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wu Lun Wei Jin\" is the fourth natural disaster + hardcore farming infrastructure, a novel from Jinjiang station. After I finished reading it, I wanted to read the fourth natural disaster type novel again, so I went to see \"World Tree Game\", which is also not bad, but it's still not enough to read. Do you have any recommendations?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, the double update is sent, see you tomorrow at 12 o'clock!\u003C\u002Fp>",3175,"2026-06-17T08:48:53.797Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","3b3c3ef41551929dd5be1f1f4fbdb94b2e8932795c13e1ad5403d539f52725eb","borrowing-the-sword-chapter-27","borrowing-the-sword-chapter-25",286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborrowing-the-sword-cover.jpg"]
