Chapter 475: The Realm of Perception
Sword intent means that the sword had a life of its own… Thought Lin Feng as if he had just discovered something unfathomable. The sword fusion couldn’t be the last step on the path of sword cultivation. He had only broken through to the Xuan Qi layer, he was far from reaching the peak of any cultivation path.
Perhaps sword fusion was only the beginning.
Jian Chen was from the Dragon Mountain Empire, he obviously knew more than Lin Feng. Him knowing much more about advanced cultivation than Lin Feng wasn’t very surprising.
“You say that I already have sword intent. What does that mean?” Asked Lin Feng while looking at Jian Chen. At that moment, he sounded modest and humble, he was focusing intently as he asked.
“There are many types of sword intent, there are many ways to practice sword cultivation. Everyone understands swords in different ways, that gives birth to different types of swords. Extremely strong sword cultivators can use different types of sword intent. The deadly sword that you just used contained a powerful deadly energy, that deadly energy is actually sword intent because it contains the will of the sword and its determination to kill.”
Jian Chen was sitting with Lin Feng as he explained, he was very interested in Lin Feng. In the Dragon Mountain Empire, there were many geniuses but Lin Feng already had such a high cultivation level at such a young age. He could already use sword intent, besides, he didn’t even know he was using it.
Lin Feng’s natural abilities weren’t what surprised Jian Chen the most. Actually, Jian Chen had already seen many people as young as Lin Feng who had broken through to the third Xuan Qi layer or higher, but Lin Feng’s power of understanding was awe inspiring.
Many people stayed ignorant their entire lifetime and never grasped sword intent. Some people only understood sword intent after having broken through to the Tian Qi layer!
“Determination to kill…” Lin Feng was stupefied. He had heard Yan Yu Ping Sheng say something similar in the past, when he was playing the zither and teaching Lin Feng about deadly energy. Besides, the black sword from the celestial book had merged with the deadly energy. Originally, that was what gave birth to the sword intent.
It seems like I can use two types of sword intent. Thought Lin Feng. When he was at Mount Sword, he had used his Cosmos-Burning Sun skill and had used the power of the sun. He had a breakthrough and understood the three sword attacks at a much deeper level: the scorching sword, the sword of the rising sun and the sword of the setting sun.
Could it be that the evil swords entered my body because of my understanding of sword intent…? Suddenly thought Lin Feng. The seal on the evil swords had broken and the evil swords entered into his body. The number of people who used to practice there was numerous but the evil swords had chosen him. Perhaps it was related to the sword intent Jian Chen was talking about.
“To what kind of dimension does sword intent belong in?” Asked Lin Feng, he was curious.
“Hehe.” Jian Chen laughed and slightly shook his head. He then said: “You are very curious. Even though you can use sword intent now, it is also the weakest type of sword intent. That is only the first layer of the dimension.”
“Is sword intent divided into different levels?” Asked Lin Feng stupefied. He was getting more and more curious.
“Of course. Sword intent is divided into nine levels. Those who have reached the first level of the dimension can slaughter people of the same layer of cultivation. They can also fight against cultivators of higher cultivation layers than themselves. Besides, if you had reached the second level of the sword intent dimension, you would be able to kill people on a higher cultivation level than you who have also reached the first level of intent. Those who have reached the ninth level don’t even need a sword, they can kill people with a thought. That level means that a cultivator doesn’t need to use a sword anymore and have become selfless.” Said Jian Chen slowly. Lin Feng had discovered a whole new world of cultivation. Those who had reached the ninth level of the sword intent didn’t even need a sword to kill people… How terrifying. Their swords really had a life of their own.
It was the first time that Lin Feng heard such things. Before, he was only trying to understand swords to increase his strength.
“Then, you’re probably wondering what happens after your sword intent reaches level nine.” Said Jian Chen while smiling, he then smiled even more and said: “There is the realm of perception. Those who understand the realm of perception can cut apart mountains and rivers. If they get angry, they can destroy an entire city using their sword and create a bloodbath wherever they please. Those who can do that are mainly people of the Zun Qi layer…”
“Realm of Perception……” Lin Feng was astonished: “So after sword intent, there is the realm of perception?”
“Not only on the path of sword cultivation, every cultivation path will lead to a different type of perception realm. In the case of swords, no matter if it’s you or me, we are both extremely far from understanding the realm of perception.” Said Jian Chen slowly. Before understanding the realm of perception, people need to first understand the earth fusion dimension. Not just understand a little, they needed to fully comprehend the earth fusion dimension and then surpass it. That requires a monstrous strength, only that could give birth to the realm of perception. Cultivators strong enough to reach that level are usually of the Zun Qi layer.
Zun Qi layer cultivators were monstrously strong… Jian Chen couldn’t even dare to imagine how strong they were in comparison.
