Chapter 226

Therefore, she was eager to share the joy in her heart with the other party.

Not long after.

The martial arena.

Noticing Jiang Zhiwei's return, Gu Xingjian raised an eyebrow.

In his perception, he was astonished to detect an invisible, formless sharpness from her.

This feeling seemed somewhat like that of a newly advanced Sword Sect cultivator who had just completed a breakthrough and could not yet rein in their aura......

Realizing this, Gu Xingjian's pupils shrank, and he felt immense astonishment.

Although he understood that she would most likely be granted an opportunity by the clan chief, he had not expected the opportunity to be so exaggeratedly great?

One had to know that the current Jiang clan, including the clan chief, Jiang Chen, and himself, had only three people who had mastered Sword Intent.

And now, Jiang Zhiwei had actually been able to ascend to the heavens in a single step.

Soaring from the early stage of the Sword Qi realm to the Sword Intent realm, becoming the fourth Sword Sect cultivator!

The development of events was truly too fantastical, making one unable to help feeling utterly unbelievable!

How on earth did the clan chief manage to do it?

Gu Xingjian lowered his head, falling into deep bewilderment.

This matter was simply far more inconceivable than the clan chief making his severed hand grow back!

After all, in his understanding.

To comprehend Sword Intent, one had to go through long-term accumulation; the situation before his eyes had never occurred.

Therefore, at this moment, his understanding shattered with a crash, shattering all over the ground!

And at this moment, more and more clansmen also noticed Jiang Zhiwei.

They had not expected her to return so quickly.

But immediately after, they felt a bit of doubt again.

"Have you noticed that the aura on Junior Sister Zhiwei seems a bit strange?"

"I thought I was the only one who felt this way."

"She's only been gone for a few hours? How is it as if she's become a completely different person?"

"I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me, but I actually sensed a very strong oppressive feeling from Junior Sister Zhiwei."

"Me too."

"It's not just you Blood Condensation realm and Bone Forging realm cultivators; even I, a Post-Heaven realm cultivator, feel an extremely strong sense of danger. Isn't Junior Sister Zhiwei only at the first level of the Bone Forging realm in cultivation base? How could she make me feel this way?"

"Hiss~ What kind of opportunity did the clan chief bestow to bring about such a tremendous change in her?!"

Amid the crowd's exclamations, Jiang Zhiwei walked straight up to Gu Xingjian, cupped her hands, and said: "Elder Gu."

Gu Xingjian's mouth twitched, and he asked in an uncertain tone: "You..... have comprehended Sword Intent?"

The moment these words were spoken, before Jiang Zhiwei could even answer, they first caused the surrounding crowd, who had been heatedly discussing, to fall silent in an instant!

Everyone widened their eyes, looked at Jiang Zhiwei in unison, and wore expressions of having seen a ghost!

Sword Intent? Did we hear something wrong?

Feeling numerous gazes fall upon her, Jiang Zhiwei paid them no heed, only looked at Gu Xingjian and nodded: "Thanks to the clan chief's help, Zhiwei has now achieved initial mastery of Sword Intent....."

The moment her words fell, a fierce, unmatched Sword Intent was released, sweeping the surroundings.

Causing Gu Xingjian to suddenly change color, and causing everyone present to be startled, their hearts and minds utterly shaken!!!

No one could have imagined that this girl, once so dull in sword dao talent, would comprehend Sword Intent in such a short time.

From the early stage of the Sword Qi realm to the Sword Intent realm, wasn't the gap in between a bit too great?

Beyond their shock, the crowd could not help but feel even greater awe and admiration for the clan chief!

Jiang Zhiwei's progress over this past month could be called a snail's pace; everyone had seen it with their own eyes.

Yet the clan chief was still able, in such a short time, to elevate Jiang Zhiwei—a person at the early stage of the Sword Qi realm with the worst possible sword dao talent—to her current realm.

Such a god-miracle-like operation was, for everyone, filled with inconceivability!

Entering the Sword Sect in a single day—such an exaggerated legendary experience.

Even in those biographies and legends, it had never appeared!

At this moment, all the Jiang clan members present felt exceptionally proud and excited that their clan possessed such a wondrous and mysterious clan chief!

Immediately after, they silently gazed at Jiang Zhiwei's figure.

Perhaps, starting tomorrow, the era of the Jiang clan's Twin Stars would completely become a thing of the past.

After Jiang Zhiwei's sudden rise, the Jiang clan was about to usher in a golden glorious age of contention among three great prodigies!

Everyone could foresee that a dazzling new star was rising!

On the other side.

Inside the clan great hall.

At this moment, Jiang Daoxuan was examining the investment rewards he had just obtained.

First were twenty Earth-grade mid-quality magic treasures.

He planned to store them directly on the top floor of the Treasure Pavilion.

In the future, only core clansmen and above would be permitted to enter, and they could exchange for them using contribution points.

After handling these magic treasures, Jiang Daoxuan looked at the next reward.

【Sword Stele: Special item, capable of storing up to Sword King-level Sword Qi, and sustaining it for one year. After the Sword Qi dissipates, Sword Qi can be re-infused to replenish it.】

【Function: Can perfectly isolate the Sword Qi within the Sword Stele from causing spiritual damage to outsiders, safely providing people to comprehend, increasing sword dao perception. However, due to the removal of danger, the tempering effect decreases, and the comprehension effect decreases accordingly. The specific effect varies from person to person.】

Jiang Daoxuan's eyes lit up.

He had not expected this Sword Stele to actually be a supportive-type item.

Immediately after, he took the Sword Stele out of the system warehouse.

The next moment.

A massive five-meter-tall stone stele appeared out of thin air and landed in his hands.

The stele's surface was pitch-black, and right at its center, a faint sword scar could be seen.

Seeing this, Jiang Daoxuan activated the power of his Sword Heart, channeling a wisp of sword Qi through the sword scar and into the stele.

After merging this wisp of Sword Heart-level sword Qi.

The originally dim and lightless sword scar suddenly began to shine brilliantly, emitting a resplendent golden light!

At the same time, an unusually safe wisp of sword Qi, containing no danger whatsoever, drifted out from the sword scar.

After contemplating it briefly, Jiang Daoxuan found that its effect was roughly only one-hundredth that of the Wordless Sword Tome.

Although it looked very low, because its area of effect was extremely broad and could allow many people to comprehend at the same time, the true value of this stele was already no less than the Wordless Sword Tome!

After all, the greatest value of this Sword Stele was not actually helping high-realm sword cultivators break through, but helping low-realm sword cultivators break through, raising the probability of comprehending the true meaning of the Sword Dao!

Looking at it this way, this was truly a supreme treasure for developing the clan and increasing the number of Sword Dao masters within it.

Jiang Daoxuan nodded in satisfaction, then promptly stored the Sword Stele into his Purple Mansion space.

After finishing all this, he finally looked at the last reward.

【Spirit of Books: Able to merge into a house, automatically imprinting a restriction on all books within. Once any living being opens and reads a book, it will trigger the restriction, and a Memory Restriction will be planted upon them without their awareness】

【The Memory Restriction possesses no offensive capability whatsoever】

【Once a living being implanted with a Memory Restriction develops the thought of leaking the book's contents, the Memory Restriction will automatically issue a warning. If the warning is ignored, the Memory Restriction will activate on its own, instantly erasing all memories related to the book's contents】

【If someone else attempts to pry into divine soul memories, the Memory Restriction will likewise activate】
