Chapter 259

A look of dense astonishment surfaced in his eyes.

One must know how exceedingly rare sword cultivators who can comprehend sword intent are.

How could it be possible to encounter them one after another in this remote place?

With a heart full of doubts, he turned his head to look.

He only saw, not far away.

A young girl, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, dashing and valiant in bearing, her high ponytail tied with a red cord at the back of her head, was holding a three-foot green-edged sword and continuously brandishing sword moves!

Between every stance and form, she seemed to merge with the sword, without the slightest hindrance, every place revealing a meaning of flawless perfection!

Sword Qi surged around her, like roaming dragons, incomparably sharp, its momentum shocking!

Zhao Hu's heart jolted; he had taken the other party for a cultivator of the Primordial Sea realm.

However, as his spiritual sense probed, he discerned the other's cultivation base.

His pupils contracted sharply, and a storm of monstrous waves surged within his heart!

Fourth layer of the Post-Heaven realm? How could this be?!

In Zhao Hu's understanding.

An existence capable of comprehending sword intent at the Purple Mansion realm was already exceedingly rare to encounter!

An existence who comprehended sword intent at the Pre-Heaven realm, in the entire historical records of Tiandou Prefecture, numbered only a handful of people!!

As for comprehending sword intent at the Post-Heaven realm?

Such a figure, he had never heard of at all!

Who exactly is this young girl?!

For a moment, Zhao Hu felt deeply curious.

He had originally thought the White-Robed Sword Marquis was already extraordinary, but the sword dao talent of the young girl before his eyes even far surpassed the other's!

A talent terrifying to such a degree is truly hard to imagine!

Perhaps her future could reach the realm of a Myriad Phenomena True Lord — truly a seed of Myriad Phenomena.

While Zhao Hu's mind was shaken, he slowly withdrew his gaze, and just happened to meet the eyes of Zhang Cang beside him.

Gazes crossed, and astonishment filled both their eyes.

Clearly, both of them understood exactly what terrifying sword dao talent this young girl possessed.

Such talent, even when surveying the entire Great Qin Dynasty, was in a class of its own!

Afterwards, Zhao Hu looked toward Jiang Hongguang and inquired: "This person's talent is so astonishing that she could comprehend sword intent at the Post-Heaven realm — could she be the clan leader Jiang's daughter?"

In his heart, only the daughter of the White-Robed Sword Marquis could inherit her father's sword dao talent.

Ultimately, the pupil surpassing the master, forming the terrifying talent of today!

Once these words were spoken, they immediately drew Zhang Cang's gaze over.

He too felt extremely curious about this.

Facing the crowd's doubts, Jiang Hongguang did not conceal anything.

After all, in recent days, the news of Jiang Zhiwei's comprehension of sword intent had already spread throughout Cangwu Mountain.

Even the market at the foot of the mountain had heard of it somewhat.

So if the other party inquired even slightly, they would surely know.

Therefore, Jiang Hongguang shook his head and smiled: "The clan leader my lord toils for the rise of the clan and remains without a wife to this day — where then would the talk of offspring come from? This girl is named Jiang Zhiwei, and she is a clanswoman of our Cangwu Tianquan branch......"

Zhao Hu and Zhang Cang slightly nodded, and a look of sudden understanding immediately surfaced in their eyes.

Before coming to Cangwu Mountain.

They had both spent much time making inquiries.

They understood that this Cangwu Jiang clan, presided over by the White-Robed Sword Marquis, differed greatly from other clans!

Normally, even the Moon Wheel noble families strictly adhered to a bloodline system distinguishing legitimate from secondary lines.

Where would one find a clan as eccentric as the Jiang family? They disregarded bloodline entirely, directly dividing into seven branches, treating all equally?!

Even this peculiar clan system, surveying the entire Great Qin Dynasty, was the very first of its kind!

Not long after.

The clan's great hall.

Jiang Daoxuan sat cross-legged on a cattail cushion, immersed in cultivation.

After these days of cultivation, coupled with the recent "total clan sum" augmentation brought by the clansmen's soaring cultivation bases.

His current cultivation base had surged from the original first layer of the Moon Wheel realm all the way to the fourth layer of the Moon Wheel realm!

Apart from his own cultivation base.

His sword dao realm had also, by virtue of comprehending the power of the Sword Saint, reached the Sword Heart Great Completion realm!

He only needed to break through once more to reach the Perfection realm.

Then he could attempt to comprehend Sword Spirit and reach the Sword King realm!

Sword Spirit, that is, the spirituality within the sword, can nurture and bring forth attribute-bound intent!

The classification of attributes varies from person to person; one may comprehend sword intent of the Five Elements, wind, thunder, light, darkness, slaughter, death, space, time, and so on — extraordinarily peculiar!

Once one comprehends Sword Spirit and masters attribute sword intent, one can crush all ordinary sword intent — truly the king of sword dao!

It is precisely because this realm brings a true qualitative transformation.

That the difficulty of breaking through to Sword King is extremely high, so high it has reached a despairing degree!

Generally, a genius sword cultivator of the Primordial Spirit realm is required to set foot in this realm!

One who can set foot in the Sword King realm at the Myriad Phenomena realm is already a peerless prodigy unseen in ten thousand years!

According to Jiang Daoxuan's own understanding.

Today's Qin Dynasty has no more than one Sword King.

Such a scarce number reveals just how difficult the breakthrough is.

Even for Jiang Daoxuan today, achieving a breakthrough is extremely difficult.

After all, the higher the realm, the greater the difficulty of comprehension.

Not to mention his greatest talent lies in his physical body and magical arts, not in the Sword Dao.

Therefore, according to his current conservative estimate.

If he wishes to ascend to the Sword King realm.

He will need at least half a year just to barely accomplish the breakthrough!
