Chapter 383: Chapter 13 Leaving the Sect (Extra for the alliance leader “FengchenCc” 1/10)
His next goal is to elevate the control of his Annihilation Penetrating Sword Intent to the sa level as his Slaughter Sword Intent.
When Sword Intent rged into the Sword Qi filants, even playing with swimming fish would not scare these black carps.
In the month following his comprehension of Annihilation Penetrating Sword Intent, Lu Qingshan spent most of his ti on Qingya Terrace.
He was integrating the newly understood Sword Intent into his attack system and mastering the Annihilation Penetrating Sword Intent to the point where it could be contained but not unleashed, just like the Slaughter Sword Intent.
However, after becoming proficient, Lu Qingshan’s progress hit a standstill.
He wanted to elevate his Intent, but found it difficult to make any progress.
The power of Intent is seldom broken through by re sitting and ditative cultivation.
“Junior Brother, I won’t be able to ‘feed’ your sword in the coming period,” Ji Chuan suddenly said to Lu Qingshan after sparring with him on Qingya Peak one day: “Moreover, the benefit of ‘sword feeding’ to your current realm is not significant anymore.”
Lu Qingshan had already been prepared for this day.
After all, Ji Chuan was just the eldest senior brother, not soone with an obligation to always take ti out to assist him.
“Thank you, Senior Brother, for your help during this ti,” Lu Qingshan sincerely expressed his gratitude.
“No need to be polite. Actually, I could have sparred with you a bit longer, but I just now have so matters that need my attention,” Ji Chuan waved his hand and replied.
“A big issue?” Lu Qingshan’s gaze flickered as he inquired.
“It’s nothing serious. Today, one of the small- to dium-sized cultivator families under our Sword Sect sent a Spirit ssage for help.
They’ve encountered so trouble, and it seems like there might be a shadow of the Netherworld involved, which is why they’re seeking assistance from our Sword Sect,” Ji Chuan explained candidly.
Netherworld?
A hint of killing intent flashed deep within Lu Qingshan’s eyes.
“It just so happens that my Samsara Sword Intent has also been stagnant at the Unity Realm for a long ti, unable to break through.
I volunteered to take on this task; possibly, this experience might provide the stimulus I need, causing my Samsara Sword Intent to break through to the Perfection Realm,” Ji Chuan continued.
No wonder Ji Chuan stayed stagnant in the Nascent Soul Stage for so long, unable to advance to Void Refining.
Samsara Sword Intent is one of the Primordial Intents. Naturally, it is extrely difficult to elevate.
As for the small- to dium-sized cultivator families under the Sword Sect.
This matter is both simple and complex in its explanation.
The Sword Sect reigns supre over a region.
In the various states of the Eastern Domain, there are many cultivator families and cultivator sects of all sizes that traditionally pay tribute to the Sword Sect every ten years with batches of Spirit Stones, Spirit Materials, and the like.
In return, the Sword Sect provides protection to these cultivator families and sects and coordinates the resolution of conflicts between them.
In other words, they are collecting protection fees.
There are also so affiliated families or sects responsible for the mining and maintenance of Spirit Veins and mineral veins belonging to the Sword Sect.
These sect families are known as being under the Sword Sect’s command.
In fact, aside from the sword, Sword Cultivators do not practice Formations, Artifact Refining, or Alchemy; they are entirely ignorant of these crafts.
That is to say, apart from martial power, the Sword Sect itself has no ans of generating resources.
However, in the world of cultivators, power is the fundantal source of everything.
Therefore, relying on this formidable power, the life of the Sword Sect is still quite prosperous.
And now, one of the small- to dium-sized families under the Sword Sect has run into trouble.
As the big brother, the Sword Sect naturally is expected to send soone to help resolve the issue.
It’s only right and proper.
Yet upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan’s heart stirred slightly.
It is a rule of the Sword Sect that disciples below the Nascent Soul Stage may not leave the sect.
However, beyond this, there is an additional rule.
If a Nascent Soul cultivator or one of a higher level leads the way, leaving the Sect won’t be an issue.
“Senior Brother, let accompany you on this trip,” Lu Qingshan said without hesitation, imdiately making the suggestion.
Before Ji Chuan could object, Lu Qingshan added, “Senior Brother has seen it too. Currently, both of us are in the sa situation, our Sword Intent has stagnated, unable to improve.
In such a circumstance, toiling away in isolation won’t do any good. Rather, going out and wandering around might just lead to an inspiration…”
“This…” Ji Chuan showed a troubled expression for a mont. What Lu Qingshan had said was indeed true, but he still had his concerns, “You joined the Sect after being acclaid through the Seven Domains Forum.
The Seven Domains Forum is the center of attention. Similarly, the Netherworld is bound to pay close attention to this event.
As the leader with a renowned reputation, you have also beco a thorn in the Netherworld’s side.”
“Eliminating the talented cultivators of the Human Race is also one of the Netherworld’s important tasks,” Ji Chuan explained: “I am confident I can protect myself, but I cannot guarantee your safety.”
A faint smile appeared on Lu Qingshan’s face.
How could he not have considered what Ji Chuan had taken into account?
With a flip of his wrist, a piece of dark Spirit Jade appeared in his hand, “Rest assured, Senior Brother, I have this.”
With a slight stirring of his thoughts, mysterious ripples emanated from the Spirit Jade, enveloping him completely.
A mont later, the young Sword Cultivator with an imposing appearance transford, becoming an ordinary-faced young Sword Cultivator.
“What is this?” Ji Chuan was astonished. He released his Divine Sense to inspect Lu Qingshan, who had undergone an earth-shattering change, but he couldn’t find a single flaw.
Ancient Jade for nocturnal travel, capable of creating illusions, altering the appearance and shape of the magic artifact’s owner, beyond the detection of most cultivators.
Lu Qingshan had anticipated this situation, which is why he had chosen this magic artifact.
“With this Ancient Jade for nocturnal travel, I am no longer Lu Qingshan, just an ordinary Golden Core Sword Cultivator,” Lu Qingshan said with a smile: “Under such a disguise, even if the Netherworld discovers your and my whereabouts, they will only pay attention to you, Senior Brother, and not target too much.”
“In that case…” Ji Chuan hesitated but, after long deliberation and faced with Lu Qingshan’s earnest gaze, he couldn’t bring himself to refuse and decided, “Alright, I’ll take you with to leave the Sect.”
“However, there are a few considerations you need to understand.
The reach of the Netherworld extends far, with intelligence and spies deeply penetrated. Your performance in the Seven Domains Forum was too outstanding, and all of your techniques were laid out in the open.
Thus, after we leave the Sect, it would be better to use less of the distinctly personal techniques you have displayed in the Seven Domains Forum.
For example, your Slaughter Sword Intent that reached the Unity Realm during your Golden Core Stage is a rarity among the entire Human Race. Such a feature is too distinct… and so on.”
“I shall certainly do so, thank you, Senior Brother,” Lu Qingshan replied joyfully.
As for the restrictions ntioned by Ji Chuan, although sowhat constraining, they didn’t greatly affect Lu Qingshan.
If not for the Slaughter Sword Intent, he still had the Annihilation Penetrating Sword Intent he had just comprehended.
Besides, should it co to a point of desperation, being forced to reveal his true techniques would an simply killing to silence, to eliminate any future troubles, and that wouldn’t be a problem either.
….
Preparation for leaving the Sect this ti did not require much.
His master, Xia Daoyun, was busy with sothing unknown and was still not within the Sword Sect.
Therefore, Lu Qingshan didn’t need to inform her about this departure from the Sect.
Although Lu Qingshan knew that Xia Daoyun’s temperant would not oppose his leaving the Sect, it was always better to skip a procedure.
As for the Rat King of the West, this ti Lu Qingshan decided not to bring it along.
One reason was that the trip was not expected to take much ti, and he anticipated that they would return to the Sect soon.
The second reason was with Ji Chuan as a powerful backup, it was unlikely they would encounter any situation they couldn’t handle.
In the event that they did encounter such a situation that even Ji Chuan, with his Nascent Soul Perfection cultivation, couldn’t solve, having the Rat King of the West wouldn’t really make a difference.
Moreover, under the rich Spiritual Energy of the Sword Sect, the Rat King of the West was on the verge of making a breakthrough to the mid-stage of Third Grade.
Lu Qingshan had even less intention of interrupting its cultivation.
