Chapter 108

Meng Zhangqing looked at his fingertips and the back of his hand.

The fingertip was a wisp of sword mark, emitting a terrifying aura, while the back of his hand had turned into a pure white diamond-shaped imprint, full of vitality.

The previous black and white Taiji pattern had disappeared.

Divided into sword marks and diamond-shaped imprints.

This is also the sign of the Great Completion of the sword art!

Taking a small breath.

Meng Zhangqing withdrew his focus and looked at the end of the panel.

Next.

It's time to start the most important item! 3.

Fusion of Sword Intent!

Meng Zhangqing’s hands tightened slightly, and his eyes grew fervent.

With this attribute fusion,

his strength would undergo a qualitative leap!

"System, fuse... Embryonic Sword Intent!"

"Ding!"

"Fusion initiated!"

As the words fell,

Meng Zhangqing felt a jolt in his mind.

A massive stream of information surged forth, all of it insights into the Dao of the Sword!

It could be called the simplicity of the Great Dao.

Every bit was an eternal truth!

Furthermore, within his mind, even concrete, shocking scenes appeared!

It was a phantom giant sword that seemed to pierce through heaven and earth!

It extended from the ancient place of origin!

The moment it appeared, Meng Zhangqing couldn't help but tremble, and the Red Firmament Sword at his waist shook frantically!

It was as if it had encountered the Sovereign of Swords!

It wanted to break out of its scabbard to pay its respects!

But Meng Zhangqing pressed it down with one hand.

"Sword Intent!"

Meng Zhangqing was completely immersed in it, continuously absorbing the insights!

――

Spirit Firmament Peak.

One of the seven branches of the Profound Heaven Sect.

Its attainments in the Dao of the Sword, looking across the entire Heavenly Spirit Continent and even the neighboring great continents,

were second to none.

Many sword experts had emerged from here in the past,

shaking the Southern Border!

It was just that for some reason, starting over a hundred years ago, it had suddenly fallen into decline.

The summit of Spirit Firmament Peak.

It was incredibly vast.

Grand halls were numerous and connected, with towering pavilions standing in rows, majestic and expansive.

This place was the cultivation ground for the high-level members of Spirit Firmament Peak.

Only the most core figures could stay here

and enjoy the best resources.

At this moment, in the very center, there was a massive hall.

The hall doors were locked tight.

But that did not mean there was no one inside.

On the contrary, inside the hall, a small figure sat cross-legged.

Her face was young.

She looked to be only about ten years old.

With red lips and white teeth, there was still fine down on her face.

In the outside world, she would just be a cute little brat.

But on Spirit Firmament Peak,

her existence was not ordinary.

She was an extremely rare Innate Sword Body!

Hum~!

Suddenly, there was movement behind her.

She opened her eyes abruptly and scrambled over.

There, on the mirror-like floor, was an ancient, simple longsword stuck in the ground.

The longsword looked unremarkable.

But stuck there, it could steal everyone's gaze, as if it were the only thing left in the entire world.

It made one feel awe involuntarily!

At this moment, the ancient sword trembled slightly.

It had a tendency to want to break through the air and leave.

"Extreme Dao, have you acknowledged me?"

The little girl was very excited, joy appearing in her large eyes.

According to her master,

this sword was forged by a master craftsman of a previous generation; it was born with a spirit and was extremely powerful.

And precisely because it possessed spiritual awareness,

it was quite arrogant.

Several generations of peak masters were unable to subdue it.

Thus, it had always been suppressed here.

She was a rare Innate Sword Body with a high chance of success, so she was often allowed to come here and chat with the ancient sword to see if she could subdue it.

Previously, she had expended a lot of energy, but the ancient sword had never responded.

But today, there was finally movement!

Her efforts had been rewarded!

Thinking of this,

the little girl reached out to touch it!

But in the next second, a sword qi slashed out horizontally,

directly sending her flying.

She was embedded into a thick support pillar.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"

"You broken sword, rotten sword, why are you hitting people randomly? And hitting a child, aren't you ashamed!"

The little girl crawled out of the pillar.

Her mouth was full of wood shavings.

She spat them out quickly.

Her eyes were watery and filled with grievance.

She had thought the ancient sword had finally accepted her, but who knew it was still the same as before—not letting her touch it, not letting her near it.

Just as her master had said.

Just like a chaste and unyielding woman!

"If it doesn't accept me, why would it start shaking? It's like it sensed something."

The little girl furrowed her sparse eyebrows.

She couldn't help but put her finger into her mouth, her simple brain beginning to work hard.

――

Half an hour later.

Meng Zhangqing finally finished fusing the Embryonic Sword Intent.

In his mind stood a giant longsword that reached the heavens and the earth!

Although the longsword was a phantom,

it flowed with mysterious luster, and these lusters were like countless truths of the Dao of the Sword!

Just catching a glimpse of it

was enough to benefit immensely!

Whew!

Meng Zhangqing opened his eyes.

At this moment, he was like a Sovereign of the Sword.

In the depths of his eyes, endless sword light seemed to flicker, flowing with a vast and boundless river of the Dao of the Sword!

The extreme sharpness seemed capable of slicing through the firmament above and destroying the world!

Boom!

The pavilion, already heavily damaged, could finally no longer hold up.

It collapsed and crumbled completely.

In an instant, dust and smoke rose everywhere.

In the history of the Profound Heaven Sect, he was likely the first person to turn a Spirit Peak building into such a state.

Swish!

Sword qi whistled...

The rolling dust and smoke were also split in two and dissipated, revealing the scene within.

Meng Zhangqing stood in the center.

Yet, his body was spotless.

Because nothing could get close; it had all been crushed by his own 'Intent'!

Meng Zhangqing slowly stood up.

At this moment, even without actively revealing his 'Sword Intent', he still gave off an indescribable visual impact.

It was as if it wasn't a person standing there,

but a sword!

Just by looking at him, one felt a palpitation as if their physical body were being shattered and their soul torn apart.

"So this is... Sword Intent."

Meng Zhangqing took a deep breath, retracted all his aura, and returned his entire being to a state of calm, like windless, rainless weather.

Before the fusion, he had tried his best to imagine the power of Sword Intent.

But only after truly fusing it did he realize he had underestimated it.

Sword Intent.

It was on a completely different level from Sword Momentum.

Sword Momentum could barely be understood.

But Sword Intent?

It was profound and mysterious.

Any sword technique in his hands would have the effect of turning decay into magic.

Even a mundane, low-grade sword technique, under the enhancement of Sword Intent, would be like a Profound-grade one, extending into all sorts of incredible powers.

If Sword Momentum enhanced a sword technique by a dozen times, then Sword Intent enhanced it by over thirty times!

It couldn't be helped.

After all, it was the True Intent of Martial Dao, the supreme realm; the improvement was just that terrifying.

And most importantly,

the power of Intent could influence the spirit!

Like a domain, during battle, it could directly pull the opponent into the Intent!

In one's own domain, what else could it be but invincible?

"Too strong."

Meng Zhangqing raised his right hand and looked at his palm.

If before, he could only compete with the geniuses of various branches, now... it was pure suppression!

Once Sword Intent is unleashed, among his peers, who could compete?

Moreover, when fusing the Embryonic Sword Intent,

his mind had also absorbed countless truths of the Dao of the Sword.

This made his insight into the Dao of the Sword reach an exaggerated realm!

Unless it was a legendary Heaven-grade sword technique,

Otherwise, even an Earth-tier expert would be able to see through it at a glance!

Extremely simple!

Take, for example, the "Holy Spirit Killing Sword Art" obtained this morning; originally, there were many doubts regarding the subsequent parts.

It was as if shrouded in fog, making it difficult to glimpse the true essence.

But at this moment, just by thinking about it casually, it was like unraveling a cocoon or parting the clouds to see the sun, seeing the answer directly.
