Chapter 66

"This is~"

"Sword intent, it is Slaughter Sword Intent!"

Lin Fan's movements immediately drew the side-glances of the Three Teachings' disciples beside him.

Upon sensing that gradually climbing sword intent, Xuandu gasped in surprise subconsciously.

As a successor of the Taiqing Sword Dao, he was very clear about the difficulty of practicing the Sword Dao, and even clearer about what the birth of sword intent meant.

Only by truly comprehending and mastering this Sword Dao could one give birth to sword intent unique to that Sword Dao.

And now that Lin Fan had released Slaughter Sword Intent, even if it was still extremely faint, it represented that his Slaughter Sword Dao had truly reached the entry level.

It could even be said that the current Lin Fan had truly mastered the Slaughter Sword Dao, completing Minghe's test for him.

"How is this possible!"

"This is impossible!"

Duobao was dumbfounded.

Staring in disbelief at Lin Fan's location, a stormy sea was stirred up in his heart.

It was not just because Lin Fan's actions were a slap in the face; the main thing was that Lin Fan's talent truly shocked him, to a degree that was simply hair-raising.

With such terrifying talent, to be able to master the Slaughter Sword Dao he had just come into contact with in such a short time, and even condense Slaughter Sword Intent—anyone who wasn't an idiot could see what this meant.

Especially since Lin Fan himself was an existence whose Sword Dao and Array Dao cultivation were both extremely outstanding.

Now that he had learned the Slaughter Sword Dao, and even completed Minghe's test, he had fulfilled Tongtian Jiaozhu's expectations.

Even if his cultivation was still weak now, his future potential was absolutely infinite.

To put it bluntly, just by virtue of Lin Fan's performance this time, in the eyes of Duobao and the other Jie Sect disciples, his threat level had already surpassed Wudang's.

After all, Wudang was indeed a master of both Sword Dao and Array Formations.

But her own comprehension definitely could not reach such a terrifying level; otherwise, she would have long since been the Mantle Successor instead of just a Personal Disciple.

But Lin Fan was different.

As long as he made up for the least important flaw of cultivation, then being a Personal Disciple would not be his limit.

And as a disciple of Tongtian Jiaozhu, even if his origin was a bit lacking, relying on today's events, I fear Tongtian Jiaozhu would increase his cultivation efforts in the future, and even helping him change his origin and potential was not impossible.

Thinking of this, Duobao's face turned ashen.

Wudang, Jinling, Guiling, and the Three Xiao sisters already had him overwhelmed, and even extremely wary.

Now that Lin Fan had risen so quickly, and even revealed such terrifying talent, the threat to himself in the future would absolutely be extremely enormous.

To put it bluntly, once Lin Fan's cultivation reached the level of being on par with his own, he would only be able to look at his back.

"What a terrifying Sword Dao talent!"

"Fellow Daoist Lin Fan is truly extraordinary!"

"He is worthy of being the existence personally selected by the Third Master; he is truly terrifying."

Guangchengzi and the other Chan Sect Golden Immortals were also stimulated at this moment, and even felt a trace of horror and disbelief from the bottom of their hearts.

Such terrifying talent.

Combined with the fact that he had completed the practice of the Taiqing Alchemy Technique and Yuqing Artifact Refining Art in a short time while at Kunlun Mountain before, this was simply a monstrous existence.

It was just that Lin Fan's cultivation was not high and his origin was insufficient.

Otherwise, he would be an existence not inferior to any top-tier Great Supernatural Power present.

"Junior Brother Lin Fan, you really have given me a huge surprise."

Xuandu also awoke as if from a dream.

He looked at Lin Fan on the ground with a complex expression, then turned his head to look at Wudang to the side: "Junior Sister Wudang, I fear your title as the number one sword cultivator of the Jie Sect is about to be lost."

Hearing this, Wudang shook her head.

She did not care too much, because she knew Lin Fan's background.

It was precisely because of this that she had known long ago that under Tongtian Jiaozhu's cultivation, Lin Fan surpassing her was only a matter of time.

Thinking of this, Wudang immediately spoke: "Senior Brother Xuandu jokes; Sword Dao competition itself requires continuous fighting, and Junior Brother Lin Fan's rise is good news for me."

"However, if I cannot help Junior Brother improve at that time, I fear I will have to seek out you, Senior Brother; after all, that Taiqing Sword Dao is indeed a very powerful existence."

Once these words were spoken, the corners of Xuandu's mouth twitched.

He seemed to foresee the scene of himself being challenged time and time again in the future.

For him, who was dedicated to cultivation and practiced the Dao of Wuwei, this was indeed no small trouble.

"Haha, he is worthy of being a high disciple of Fellow Daoist Tongtian."

Minghe Laozu could not help but praise at this moment.

If he had maintained doubts about Lin Fan before, and was even half-believing about Tongtian Jiaozhu's actions.

Then, after seeing Lin Fan complete the entry level of the Slaughter Sword Dao in such a short time, he had to admit how enormous the latter's comprehension was.

To put it bluntly, even he himself, and ninety-nine percent of the cultivators present, did not have comprehension as powerful as Lin Fan's.

If he could master such comprehension, Minghe Laozu even believed he would have the possibility of peeking into the Saint Realm.

Thinking of this, Minghe Laozu's gaze toward Lin Fan softened quite a bit.

Even if he was not himself, and not his own disciple.

But since he had inherited his Sword Dao, he could be considered his disciple.

In this way, if Lin Fan were to rise in the future and could reach the Saint Realm, wouldn't he become the Master of a Saint?

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Tongtian!"

"Congratulations, Tongtian Saint!"

"..."

At the same time, the Great Supernatural Powers, Innate Deities, and mighty figures all around also spoke one after another to congratulate Tongtian Jiaozhu on the main seat.

Everyone had a clear view of the situation of Lin Fan and the others.

After all, Minghe Laozu's existence was dazzling; his sudden arrival at the location of the Three Teachings' disciples naturally attracted much attention.

It was precisely because of this that the Great Supernatural Powers present all knew that Lin Fan was coming into contact with the Slaughter Sword Dao for the first time; to have learned it, and even reached the entry level in such a short time, was truly a terrifying talent.

"Haha, you are all too kind."

At this moment, Tongtian Jiaozhu on the high platform also laughed loudly; he could be said to be in high spirits, finally able to hold his head high.

For so many years, while his Jie Sect had many disciples, there were truly not many who could be brought out in a real sense, and the uneven quality of many had been despised by Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun.

Now he had finally held his head high; Lin Fan's talent directly slapped everyone in the face.

The most important thing was that Lin Fan's excellent performance this time was enough for everyone to recognize the correctness of his original choice.

After all, with Lin Fan's cultivation and origin, ordinary Great Supernatural Powers would not even look a second time, let alone take him as a disciple.

Thinking of this, Tongtian Jiaozhu immediately raised the wine cup in his hand and said: "My inferior disciple has a little talent; I have let you fellow daoists see a joke."

"However, my inferior disciple's origin is somewhat lacking; if you fellow daoists have any items to improve origins, I, Tongtian, am willing to exchange for them; I ask that you fellow daoists do not be stingy!"
