Chapter 101: Breakthrough to the Fifth Level of the Primordial Sea Realm, Mastery of Perfect Completion Sword Intent!
Elsewhere.
The Jiang family, the clan's great hall.
A startling sword intent permeated the vast, empty hall.
Jiang Daoxuan sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, his eyes tightly shut.
Every pore of his body opened wide, continuously drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy and refining it!
After these days of cultivation, combined with the cumulative effect of the entire clan.
His cultivation base had once again broken through, smoothly reaching the fifth level of the Primordial Sea realm!
Besides this, his progress in the Dao of the Sword was even greater.
Relying on his comprehension of the nameless sword scroll, his insight into the Dao of the Sword could be said to advance a thousand miles in a single day, his progress astonishingly swift!
In just a few short days, he had honed his original Lesser Completion sword intent all the way to Greater Completion, even reaching the Perfect Completion level!
Now he was only one final step away from condensing a Sword Heart and contending for a place among the Sword Marquises!
Just how terrifying was such progress in the Dao of the Sword?
Greater Completion sword intent alone was enough to trap countless Star Wheel realm sword cultivators, rendering them unable to advance a single step!
As for the Sword Heart realm, it was usually only mastered by sword cultivators of the Moon Wheel realm or even the Sun Wheel realm—one could well imagine how difficult it was to comprehend!
At this moment, just as Jiang Daoxuan once again circulated the Pure Yang Infinite Art through a full cycle.
A sudden sound of footsteps rang out from outside the hall.
Relying on his keen five senses to detect this, Jiang Daoxuan immediately stopped cultivating and dispersed the sword intent leaking out around him.
He slowly turned his head, looking toward the hall's entrance.
He saw a young member of the Jiang clan walk in, bow, and say: "Reporting to Clan Chief, my lord, Gu Xingjian of Gu Jianzong has arrived at Shanmen. He wishes to duel swords with you. What do you say?"
A sword duel?
Jiang Daoxuan's gaze shifted slightly, and a touch of interest rose within him.
He had not expected his reputation to spread so swiftly.
Now even that famed Gu Jianzong, upon hearing of him, had come in such haste to Cangwu Mountain, eager to duel swords with him.
"I hear this man's swordsmanship attainments are remarkable. I've just comprehended Perfect Completion sword intent, so he makes a fine practice partner…"
Jiang Daoxuan slowly rose from the meditation cushion, his mind already made up, preparing to go and meet the man.
But before he could take two steps, the system's prompt suddenly sounded.
【Ding~ Limited-time Clan Mission triggered: Sword Duel】
【As the Host's influence gradually expands, a genius sword cultivator has now been successfully drawn here】
【Ding~ Two different choice rewards have now been triggered: 1. Defeat the opponent, obtain one Beginner Hundred Treasures Blind Box; 2. Kill/Subdue the opponent, obtain two Beginner Hundred Treasures Blind Boxes】
【Mission duration: one hour】
Oh?
Seeing there were rewards handed over for free, Jiang Daoxuan couldn't help but let out a light chuckle.
This really was just as he was feeling drowsy someone brought him a pillow—the system was far too thoughtful.
Then, looking at the time limit displayed on the mission.
Jiang Daoxuan no longer felt like taking his time walking over.
Holding to the idea of a swift conclusion, he strode quickly out of the clan's great hall, then immediately activated the Kun Peng Treasure Art, causing his speed to surge explosively as he flew down the mountain!
Not long after.
The Jiang family's Shanmen.
Gu Xingjian, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly sensed something and snapped his eyes open, looking ahead!
He saw a handsome, elegant man in white had appeared not far away, watching him with great interest.
"What incredible speed. Within this Cangwu Mountain, possessing such cultivation and dressed in a robe of white—this man must be Jiang Daoxuan."
A sharp glint flashed in Gu Xingjian's eyes, and his interest swelled within.
Though he had just been resting with his eyes closed, his spiritual sense had been enveloping the surroundings, observing every movement.
This was a habit he had developed over years of traveling alone, out of caution, never expecting it would perfectly capture the terrifying speed of the other man's arrival!
At this moment, sensing the disturbance around them, the two Jiang clan members left to guard Shanmen also subconsciously raised their heads and looked at Gu Xingjian.
Then, following the direction of his gaze, they slowly turned their heads and quickly spotted Jiang Daoxuan.
"It's the Clan Chief! The Clan Chief actually came in person?"
"We pay our respects to the Clan Chief, my lord!"
Seeing this, the two hurriedly bowed.
Jiang Daoxuan's expression was calm. After nodding in response, he immediately stepped forward and walked up to Gu Xingjian.
The Eye of Insight quietly took effect, letting him instantly grasp the other's cultivation situation.
Ninth level of the Primordial Sea realm, a mere final step away from the Star Wheel realm!
That Gu Xingjian possessed such strength—no wonder he had carved out such a fearsome reputation.
At this moment, Gu Xingjian had no idea that in the span of a single encounter, the other man had already seen him through completely.
He merely gripped the sword hilt tightly with his left hand, his battle intent surging within, and sword intent burst forth from his entire body!
Faced with such a powerful opponent, he could barely restrain himself, eager to draw his sword at once.
With this movement, the two Jiang clan members beside them were instantly frightened into retreating far away, leaving the ground to the two men.
Gu Xingjian and Jiang Daoxuan exchanged a single glance. Neither spoke a single unnecessary word—everything was conveyed without words.
Whoosh.
As a light breeze swept past, Gu Xingjian tapped lightly with his toe, instantly leaving his original position, drew the long sword at his waist, and thrust straight at Jiang Daoxuan's chest!
His sword art was not a compendium of a hundred schools' strengths, but rather something he had cultivated himself, bit by bit, through countless life-and-death battles!
