Chapter 8: Zhu Xian Sword Intent
"Just now I was practicing sword skills, so I activated the Four Swords of Zhu Xian. If one day I learn to make pills and weapons, will it activate Qiankun Ding and allow me to learn Qiankun Ding's supreme magical power?"

The more Zhang Qian thought about it, the brighter his eyes became. He thought about the Pangu Banner, the Tai Chi Diagram and other treasures. If one day he could cultivate the corresponding magical powers, how powerful would that be!

With endless joy, Zhang Qian forced himself to calm down and began to carefully comprehend the message from the Zhu Xian Sword mark. This message was very complicated. It was not about any sword techniques or sword moves, but simply the Zhu Xian Sword intent and some introduction to the four sword intents of the Four Swords of Zhu Xian.

Zhu Xian Sword's intention is to move forward courageously, to slay immortals and destroy gods. It can be summed up in one word: "slay!"

"Kill! Kill everything. The real Immortal-Slaying Sword has the supreme power to annihilate the void and open up the world. The sword intent alone is astonishing."

After several hours, Zhang Qian finally took a quick look at the Zhu Xian Sword Intent. At this moment, he had a very deep understanding of the sword way and was no longer completely in the dark. After all, his starting point was too high. With the infusion of the Zhu Xian Sword Intent, even a sword idiot could become a sword genius.

"The sword intents contained in the four divine swords of Zhulu, Xianzhu, and Jue are all different. The sword intent of the Zhuxian Sword is to kill the form, which is specifically designed to defeat all kinds of tyrannical treasure bodies, while the sword intent of the Luxian Sword is to kill the soul, slaughter the primordial spirit, the sword intent of the Xian Sword is to trap the enemy's momentum, prohibiting the enemy's cultivation of Taoism, and the sword intent of the Juexian Sword is to destroy the enemy's luck, which can wipe out the enemy's luck!"

"The way of the sword emphasizes intention rather than moves. If one can comprehend the extremely powerful sword intention, a single thrust of the sword can destroy everything. If the sword intention is not strong, one can only make up for it with all kinds of ingenious moves. Now that I have the sword intention of Zhuxian, as long as I can comprehend it thoroughly, any sword method, even an inferior sword method, can become a supreme sword when used with the sword intention of Zhuxian!"

After pondering for a while, Zhang Qian had an epiphany. However, although he had the sword intent infused with the mark of the Zhuxian Sword, Zhang Qian only had a slight understanding of this supreme sword intent. This was because he had the insights of the Hundong Ancestor. If he did not have these insights as a foundation, he would not have been able to comprehend even this little bit.

Coupled with his extremely strong mind, Zhang Qian took advantage of the opportunity of sword intent infusion to comprehend a trace of Zhu Xian sword intent. It is unknown how many years it will take to fully comprehend Zhu Xian sword intent.

However, Zhang Qian was not discouraged. Just this slight bit of Zhu Xian sword intent was enough to make his sword skills soar to the sky!

laugh!
He swung the sword in his hand and stabbed it lightly forward. A trace of Zhuxian sword intent was attached to it, and a blood-red sword energy shot out instantly, streaking a blood-red light and flying straight out ten feet away!
Bang!
The sword energy destroyed a gap in the stone wall of the water palace, leaving no stone powder behind.

Zhang Qian is only at the initial stage of spiritual power, and can only use sword intention to compel the external spiritual energy of heaven and earth to generate sword energy, which is very inefficient. When his spiritual power reaches perfection, breaks through the Qi Refining stage, and has true energy in his body, he can use true energy to generate sword energy. At that time, the power of sword energy will be different, and there will be no limit of ten feet.

"Ordinary people practice swordsmanship through various sword techniques. They first practice sword techniques and moves, and then slowly comprehend the sword intent through the moves. But I did the opposite. I was instilled with sword intent and comprehended a little bit of Zhuxian sword intent. With the supreme sword intent as the foundation, any sword techniques and moves are no longer important. With Zhuxian sword intent, every move of mine is a magnificent swordsmanship."

After looking at the precious images in the broken jade again, Zhang Qian reluctantly withdrew his attention and smacked his lips: "What a pity, they are all fake!"

With a trace of the Zhuxian Sword's intent in his body, Zhang Qian also had a trump card, but he still could not fight against the fox ancestor who had formed a demon pill. Thinking that he would be forced to go to the Peach God Sect headquarters in a month, Zhang Qian felt a little unwilling.

The Taoshen Sect is not a small sect. The Lishui River where Zhang Qian is located is a river within the Great Zhou Dynasty in Xingyun Province. The entire Great Zhou Dynasty is the territory of the Mangcang Sword Sect. There are dozens of countries like the Great Zhou Dynasty in Xingyun Province, and the Taoshen Sect is the state religion of the Moshan Kingdom, which borders the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The territory of Moshan is mostly mountains and rivers, with almost no plains, and the terrain is very dangerous. The people of Moshan are tough and most of them live in deep mountains and forests. They often organize looting of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Taoshen Sect is the backing of the Moshan Kingdom. If Zhang Qian wants to steal something from the Taoshen Sect headquarters, he will be in danger of death. Even if he has a hair of the fox ancestor on his body to hide his body, he is not very confident.

As for escaping directly, Zhang Qian didn't think that Qingyao Mountain was not far from his water palace. He was afraid that he would not be able to run far before being caught by the ancestor of the fox clan.

Moreover, Zhang Qian was interested in the plan of the fox clan ancestor of Qingyao Mountain. He was very curious and had some voyeurism towards the Yiqi Peach God Doll. He simply followed the fox clan ancestor's instructions and did not want to leave. "I should improve my cultivation quickly. This month should be enough for me to break through to the late stage of Lingji."

After making a plan, Zhang Qian moved and left the water palace directly and entered the Lishui River outside.

The Lishui River was only about ten feet deep. Using a water-repelling spell, Zhang Qian transformed his body into an ancient dragon loach about ten feet long. He found a secret cave at the bottom of the river and crawled into it.

"Taiyi Tianque cultivates destiny, refines the magic and circulates the spiritual essence..."

Lying down in the cave, Zhang Qian, who had transformed into the ancient dragon loach, muttered something in his mind, opened his mouth wide, and emitted mysterious waves. The turbulent water was sucked in, and soon a turbulent water vortex appeared outside the cave.

The reason why Zhang Qian swallowed the water flow was because his body of the ancient dragon loach could condense the water flow into water essence after swallowing it. The water essence could improve his cultivation. This was the talent of the ancient dragon loach.

If his ancient dragon loach body fully grows up, he can even devour the water and condense the Tianyi True Water, Yiyuan Heavy Water and other water-based treasures with magical effects.

He even speculated that if he achieved Daluo Jinxian one day, he could even absorb and exhale the three lights of the sun, moon and stars and condense the three lights sacred water!

Of course, all this was too far away from him.

Just as Zhang Qian was immersed in his cultivation, a sword rainbow hundreds of feet long flew out from the Mangcang Mountain, three thousand miles away from the Lishui River.

As a large-scale sect, the Mangcang Sword Sect is very imposing and occupies the entire Mangcang Mountain. The Mangcang Mountain is thousands of feet high, with a vast sea of ​​clouds floating halfway up the mountain, and all kinds of precious lights flashing from time to time in the mountain.

There are nine main peaks in Mangcang Mountain. This hundred-meter-long sword rainbow flew out from the northernmost main peak. In the sword rainbow was a man who looked to be in his thirties. He had a dignified face and a pair of eyes that faintly emitted sword light, making people dare not look directly at him.

This person is Qiao Jinning's master Ye Tianjing. Now, more than ten days have passed since Qiao Jinning left Mangcang Mountain. However, the task of collecting the incense beads cannot be delayed for so many days.

After so many days had passed without seeing Qiao Jinning return, Ye Tianjing became anxious. Soon it would be the day for the decisive battle between the head of the sect and the leader of the Peach God Cult. Right now, the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Moshan Kingdom were in a state of panic and the situation was very critical. Qiao Jinning had not returned for such a long time, Ye Tianjing secretly worried that he would fall into the hands of the Peach God Cult.

More than ten days passed and Ye Tianjing could no longer wait. He loved Qiao Jinning very much. Even though Qiao Jinning was domineering and arrogant in the sect and others came to him to complain, Ye Tianjing was reluctant to punish Qiao Jinning and treated him like his own child.

Now he decided to take the initiative to look for Qiao Jinning whose whereabouts were unknown.

Zhang Qian naturally didn't know that Ye Tianjing was coming. He had been practicing in a cave at the bottom of the river for more than ten days. By devouring the essence of water, his cultivation had broken through the middle stage of spiritual energy. After transforming into a human body and manifesting spiritual energy, the ancient dragon loach spiritual energy had grown to five feet in length.

Unfortunately, after he turned into a human, he could no longer absorb the essence of water to practice. He could only do so by turning into an ancient dragon loach, which put him in danger of exposing his secret.
