[Automatic Magic update complete. This is a major version update. Magic has been reworked!]
[Removed Basic Sword Qi]
"Huh? Removed?"
Staring at the words that appeared on his Magic Technique Panel, Qi Yun froze. The three words for [Basic Sword Qi], which had been bathed in gold, had indeed beco unreadable.
’I poured so much of my heart and soul into updating [Basic Sword Qi], and it just gets removed like that?’
Just as Qi Yun was wondering if his Magic Technique Panel had lost its mind, a new line of text appeared, causing his tightly furrowed brow to instantly relax.
[New Magic Added—Nanming Sword Demon]
The mont the words appeared, an endless torrent of light and shadow flooded Qi Yun’s mind.
A vast, chaotic, yet profound torrent of ancient Daoist Intent slamd deep into his Sea of Consciousness!
Fragnted insights and understandings, imasurably complex, rocked Qi Yun’s Divine Sense, and a piercing pain pulsed between his brows.
However, just as this chaotic torrent was about to overwhelm his consciousness—
A wisp of "intent"—extrely faint, yet exceptionally pure, resilient, and sharp—erged on its own from within Qi Yun’s Sea of Consciousness, like a Stabilizing Needle!
This was the culmination of all his insights from practicing "Basic Sword Qi"—sharpness, relentless forward montum, absolute focus—condensed into a Daoist Intent of the Sword Dao that was uniquely his, Qi Yun’s!
Although this wisp of Sword Intent was weak, it compelled the imnse torrent of Daoist Intent to gather around it, no longer a chaotic ss of fragnts.
Under the "weaving" of that Sword Intent, it was as if a hundred rivers were flowing into the sea. The torrent began to assemble, arrange, and evolve on its own, following so profound law...
This composition was not made of physical text, but was woven purely from "Dao" and "Principle."
They rged together perfectly, forming the prototype of an unprecedented Cultivation Skill, unique to Qi Yun!
At the sa ti, that refined, pure torrent of Daoist Intent began to nourish his physical body in return.
Qi Yun felt his blood run slightly hot, and a subtle yet distinct tingling itch emanated from deep within his bones, as if countless tiny particles were reorganizing and optimizing themselves.
His once-stagnant ridians seed to widen slightly, becoming more resilient and capable of containing and circulating greater power.
His internal organs felt as if they had been cleansed by a gentle yet potent energy, becoming clearer and more robust.
This was a subtle enhancent originating from the very source of his life.
It was a beneficial transformation, caused by his fundantal constitution and bloodline being scoured by High Tier Daoist Intent!
’I didn’t expect a major version update to upgrade not just the Magic, but my physique as well!
Could it be to help adapt to the updated Magic?’
Feeling the subtle yet miraculous changes within him, Qi Yun unconsciously clenched his right fist. Between his fingers, a mystical, violet-red fla faintly ignited.
"This is... Nanming Li Fire?"
His gaze flickered, and Qi Yun’s eyes slowly fell upon his Magic Technique Panel, looking at the description for this new Magic.
[Nanming Sword Demon: Manifest a form through Magic; command the essence of fla.]
Ten simple words, branded onto the Magic Technique Panel.
"There’s only one way to find out..."
His gaze hardened. Standing beneath the moonlight, Qi Yun took a deep breath. The Innate Qi Heart Skill within him began to circulate at an unprecedented speed, crazily converging upon the Li Palace position of his Heart Vein and drawing upon the Fire Qi that perated Heaven and Earth.
His hands rapidly ford a series of complex Dharma Seals, tiny sparks seeming to dance at his fingertips as he chanted a profound Spell in a low, clear voice:
"Li Fire falls to chaos, a demon’s thought becos the core.
With evil, master the righteous; in reverse, forge the sacred fire.
The heart-fla incinerates the Dao; the Sword Demon is thus born.
Annihilate Heaven and Earth; let all creation burn as one!
Decree!!"
The mont the final word of the Curse was spoken—
BOOM!
A violet-red fla—pure, scorching, and filled with an endless, tyrannical intent—erupted from his body, instantly engulfing him completely!
Yet the flas did not burn him; instead, they rged with him perfectly.
The fire burned fiercely upon his skin, rising and coalescing into the tall, sharp-edged silhouette of a person.
Only in the place of its eyes burned two orbs of cold, piercing, crimson light, as if a Sword Demon had opened its eyes to gaze down upon the world!
The raging inferno cast everything around in a violet-red glow.
The terrifying heat distorted the air, instantly vaporized the moisture on the ground, and even caused the nearby grass and trees to scorch and curl!
’This feeling... it’s not bad at all!’
Enveloped by the Nanming Li Fire, Qi Yun felt incredibly warm, filled with what seed to be an inexhaustible energy. Even his five senses had grown sharper.
"SKREEE—!"
He couldn’t help but throw his head back and unleash a piercing, inhuman shriek. The sound wave, wrapped in Fierce Fire, instantly made the surrounding air feel thick and oppressive.
After venting so of the restless energy this power brought, Qi Yun’s Heart Thought shifted, and the arm ford of crimson Li Fire slashed through the empty air before him!
VZZZT—!
A crescent-shaped bolt of violet-red Sword Qi, ford purely from highly compressed Nanming Li Fire, shot from his fingertips, swelling in size as it flew!
Wherever the Sword Qi passed, the air was torn and burned, letting out a series of crackling pops.
It carved a deep, scorched-black trench in the ground, its tyrannical might utterly terrifying!
Shaking his body to dissipate the fiery light, Qi Yun’s gaze was clear as he contemplated this Magic’s transformation.
This major version update, though it had cost him [Basic Sword Qi], had given him the completely reborn skill of the [Nanming Sword Demon] in return.
And more importantly...
’The greatest benefit of a major version update isn’t the upgrading of the Magic itself.
Rather, it redies the biggest drawback of the previous minor updates. With every update, a mystical Daoist Intent was added to the original Magic.
Although I could use the Magic enhanced by the Daoist Intent, I couldn’t understand its aning. I was just using it instinctively.
But after a major version update...
The old skill crumbles, and a new skill is born!
The barrier of knowing ’how’ but not ’why’ has been broken.
The entire essence of the Magic, its key points, and its thods of operation are now fully understood in my heart. There are no obstacles left!
From this point on, this great power... is completely mine!
This is the greatest benefit of a major version update!’
Having summarized the benefits of this major Magic update, Qi Yun’s heart felt clear and refreshed. Such an advantage would undoubtedly be an imnse, inexpressible help to his future path of cultivation and his Foundation Establishnt.
’It seems I’ll have to put more effort into hunting down those precious Spiritual Objects from now on.
They’re crucial for my future Foundation Establishnt.’
Having secretly decided on his strategy, Qi Yun turned slightly and glanced at the woman and child in the house behind him.
With the Demon Child dead, the Evil Skill afflicting the child naturally dissipated. The child’s weak, fading aura had now begun to stabilize.
The corner of his mouth lifted in a smirk. Qi Yun raised his hand and tossed a verdant Spirit dicine, which landed precisely on the child’s lips.
It was a restorative tonic he had bought just in case.
"Consider it a reward for helping lure out that Demon Child."
With that, the man in the gray-green robes transford into a gust of Clear Wind and vanished in an instant.
