Chapter 1994: Chapter 1993 Sword Intent

At the moment, Audrey saw that everyone was observing the wall with the sword-dancing figure, so she followed suit and started observing.

However, she wasn’t someone who practiced sword techniques, so naturally, she didn’t understand at all.

General Ying also looked towards the wall.

But he was equally puzzled.

Yet, despite the puzzlement, he continued his observation.

After all, this was the Hidden Dragon Cave, the abode of the Sword Cultivator Hidden Dragon Superior.

Besides, no second person had ever been here, so the sword-dancing figure on the wall was undoubtedly carved by Hidden Dragon Superior.

Thus, the sword-dancing figure on the wall was likely some sword techniques left behind by Hidden Dragon Superior.

If one could comprehend them, it would undoubtedly be a great opportunity.

Everyone else shared the same thoughts.

Sword techniques left by Hidden Dragon Superior must have surpassed ancient martial arts.

If one could inherit such sword techniques, wouldn’t one be invincible among peers?

Everyone stared closely at the sword-dancing figures on the walls but had not comprehended any sword techniques for a long time.

Ten minutes passed, and no one figured anything out.

Even Lin Dong looked bewildered.

”Brother Dong, have you comprehended anything?” Buddha Demon Heavenly Song looked towards Lin Dong, asking aloud.

Lin Dong shook his head: ”No, the moves of the sword-dancing figures are completely basic sword technique basics.”

”Even the most ordinary person can replicate these sword technique basics.”

Buddha Demon Heavenly Song nodded, then frowned: ”Brother Dong, do you really think the sword-dancing figures on these walls hide an advanced sword technique?”

Lin Dong shook his head, he couldn’t be one hundred percent sure either.

Blood Spirit chimed in: ”I think maybe Hidden Dragon Superior was bored staying in this Spirit Cave alone, so he carved some sword-dancing figures to pass the time.”

”There might be no sword techniques here.”

Upon hearing this, Audrey also nodded: ”I think so too.”

However, Lin Dong shook his head and said: ”What kind of existence is Hidden Dragon Superior, at his realm, his mental state should have reached a level of absolute tranquility. There’s no sense of loneliness or boredom.”

”How could he possibly carve some sword-dancing figures to pass the time?”

”Moreover, these sword-dancing figures apparently have a certain pattern.”

”Their figures are all very orderly. If you guys observe carefully, you’ll find each wall has three thousand sword-dancing figures.”

Hearing Lin Dong’s words, Audrey was stunned and quickly counted.

Sure enough, just as Lin Dong said, each of the four walls had exactly three thousand sword-dancing figures.

If this was really carved by Hidden Dragon Superior out of boredom, he couldn’t have controlled the quantity to be the same, right?

And all of them being three thousand, what are the odds of such a coincidence?

Having found this pattern, everyone increasingly believed the sword-dancing figures on these four walls definitely contain the sword techniques Hidden Dragon Superior hid within them.

Long Ban said solemnly: ”Could it be that we need to practice the sword techniques based on the moves above?”

Speaking of this, he didn’t hesitate and practiced the sword techniques moves on one of the walls.

Those sword technique moves were extremely basic and simple.

For instance, a plain thrust!

Or, a plain slice!

Or a simple swing slash!

These simple moves, not to mention these powerful Grandmasters’ swordsmen, even ordinary people could imitate them.

Long Ban, who was a swordsman who just recently stepped into the realm of Grandmaster, practiced these three thousand basic sword styles in merely seven seconds.

Seven seconds, all done.

Seeing him finish practicing, others asked: ”How is it, Long Ban, any gains? Did you learn anything?”

Long Ban looked confused, shook his head: ”No.”

He learned absolutely nothing.

Almost flawed his learning!

Others were frowning, pondering.

Daoist No-Conflict said: ”Could Hidden Dragon Superior be telling us a sword technique rule?”

”What rule?” someone asked in response.

Daoist No-Conflict pondered for a moment before speaking: ”He wants to tell us through these sword-dancing figures, that sword techniques shouldn’t be confined to individual moves; a powerful swordsman can unleash world-destroying power with the simplest moves.”

Hearing this, Loose Cultivator Ling Xiao said: ”I’ve actually known this principle for a long time.”

”A powerful swordsman can sever mountains and rivers with just a casual swing.”

”But knowing this principle, what good does it do?”

As everyone talked, Lin Dong’s eyes were tightly fixed on one of the walls, and at the same time, his eyes were sparkling.

His mental power was currently communicating with the Sovereign Witch.

The Sovereign Witch was telling him a piece of knowledge related to sword techniques.

”Kid, these four walls hide Sword Intent. If you can comprehend these Sword Intent, it will be a great opportunity for you.”

”It will help you enter the ranks of true sword cultivators.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong was puzzled, and he asked the Sovereign Witch using mental power:

”Senior Sovereign Witch, what do you mean by Sword Intent?”

”It’s the soul of the sword technique, the true essence of sword techniques. In our ancient times, even Grandmaster swordsmen like you wouldn’t be considered true sword cultivators.”

”True sword cultivators need to master Sword Intent. Those who possess Sword Intent aren’t limited by individual moves; they can transform myriad sword techniques through the comprehension of Sword Intent.”

”This Hidden Dragon Superior is clearly a true swordsman who must have comprehended Sword Intent in the past. Now, the sword-dancing figures carved on the wall hide Sword Intent.”

Lin Dong was still confused, ”What exactly is Sword Intent?”

”Sword Intent is a kind of path! For example, Wind Sword Intent is a path that merges the natural way of wind into sword techniques. People who master Wind Sword Intent can strike extremely fast; a casual sword strike can match the attack speed of ancient martial arts.”

”For example, Fire Sword Intent, merging the natural way of fire, unleashes a sword with terrifying destructive power. If Fire Sword Intent is cultivated to the extreme, a single sword can burn the sea!”

”For example, Thunder Sword Intent, merging the natural way of thunder, unleashes a sword with thunder-like destructive power, a single sword can summon heavenly thunder!”

”...”

”As long as one can domain Sword Intent, whichever they comprehend, even if they only cultivate Sword Intent to the First Heavenly Layer, a sword randomly unleashed can match the power of ancient martial arts.”

If Sword Intent can be cultivated to the Second Layer, its power surpasses ancient martial arts. With a single strike, no one of the same rank can withstand it.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong was extremely shocked.

”Senior Sovereign Witch, how can one comprehend the Sword Intent above?” Lin Dong quickly asked the Sovereign Witch.

The Sovereign Witch shook his head: ”During my life, I mainly practiced the Witch Path. Although I have some understanding of Kendo, I never comprehended Sword Intent.”

”Though I know there are many Sword Intents in this world, and have even fought with sword cultivators, if you ask me how to comprehend Sword Intent, I don’t know.”

”But I know one thing, only those truly gifted in Kendo with a constitution for sword cultivation can comprehend Sword Intent.”

Lin Dong understood, Sword Intent requires self-realization.

It’s hard for others to teach.

After learning this, Lin Dong withdrew his mental power and focused entirely on the walls with sword-dancing figures.

He began to comprehend the Sword Intent hidden on these walls!
