Lu Yi's brow shimred with golden liquid that boiled over, his spiritual power circulating, probing into the Sword Tao Order, sensing the supre sword intent.
Clang!
A clear, resounding hum of a sword rang out. Lu Yi sensed a streak of sword light flash by, a sword intent with unimaginable might, like the authority of the heavens, sweeping over.
Lu Yi summoned his own sword intent to resist, locking in a stalemate with this sword intent.
This sword intent was different from Lu Yi's; it was restrained in sharpness, pressing down regally without any killing intent.
Lu Yi perceived the mysteries within this sword intent, feeling slightly astonished in his heart.
Could this sword intent be purposely left behind by that astoundingly talented Old Master?
Left for others to comprehend the sword intent?
The Sword Tao Order issued by the Sword Tao Conference was given to every talented sword cultivator, who could then contemplate the sword intent within—this was a gift from the Old Master to all the sword cultivators of the Eastern Domain.
Lu Yi couldn't help feeling so admiration and amazent toward that Old Master.
This Old Master was magnanimous and righteous!
Lu Yi focused his spirit, fully perceiving this grand sword intent, comparing and referencing it with his own Sword Tao, and anding his own shortcomings.
After drinking the Enlightennt Tea, Lu Yi's comprehension greatly enhanced within a day, and though not akin to a Sudden Enlightennt, it was still extrely powerful.
At the sa ti, within the Dantian in Lu Yi's body, colors rolled like rosy clouds, the Glazed Golden Core shimring with rainbow light, Tao patterns faintly visible, and Tao sounds chanting—making it even more conducive for Lu Yi to align with the Tao and to comprehend it easily.
Unknowingly, Lu Yi beca imrsed in this grand sword intent.
What is sword intent?
Every great Sword Tao Practitioner has their own understanding, and the most fundantal understanding is recognized by all.
That is, sword intent being a Conception, is the most evident expression of the Tao of heaven and earth; only by mastering this Conception can one begin to comprehend the Domain, and start to harness the heaven and earth for oneself.
However, based on this foundation, everyone's understanding of sword intent varies.
In his discussions on swordsmanship with Elder Ming, Lu Yi had his own comprehension of the Sword Dao, and now within this vast sword intent, he gained new insights.
The one who holds the sword also grips their own state of mind; cultivating the sword is likewise cultivating the heart.
'My intent' is 'sword intent'; 'my heart' is 'Sword Heart.'
Ti passed unknowingly, the mist in Lu Yi's Dantian gradually cald, and the Glazed Golden Core settled down as well.
The Sword Tao Order in his hand ceased its display of grand sword light, and he subsequently opened his eyes.
Lu Yi's black eyes were clear as springs, his spirit pristine.
It was an embodint of Returning True.
With perfect sword intent, every motion contained sword intent, easily controlled, achieving the true state of 'the sword follows my heart.'
Lu Yi had an epiphany.
This was the necessary path for any Contemplation of Conception, a process of 'taking control.'
Only by truly mastering this Conception can one advance further, taking control of the heaven and earth within one's vicinity.
This, then, is the embryonic form of the 'Domain.'
No wonder they say complete Contemplation is the cornerstone of the Domain.
If one does not thoroughly comprehend the Contemplation, naturally one cannot grasp the Domain.
Lu Yi suddenly understood, his anticipation for the Domain growing even more.
Unfortunately, even having achieved Perfect Sword Intent, he still could not discern the path to the Sword Tao Domain.
But Lu Yi wasn't worried at all now; he had plenty of ti.
To have mastered sword intent to the Perfection Realm at his Golden Core stage, Lu Yi was quite satisfied with himself.
After all, he had never heard of any Sword Tao Practitioner from the Ancient Tis achieving such a feat.
After attaining Perfect Sword Intent, Lu Yi set aside the Sword Tao Order and continued his cultivation.
The ensuing days were peaceful for Lu Yi.
For so reason, Wenjian Manor remained within the White Cloud Sect, apparently discussing sothing with the sect.
Jian Ruyu naturally stayed as well.
Each day, Jian Ruyu and Liu Ningshuang would spar.
Both were Nascent Soul Realm geniuses, regarded as the top prodigies across the whole of Tianming, their powers earth-shattering.
As they sparred outside the sect, Lu Yi would sotis watch, always feeling many insights.
Later, Lu Yi even brought Donggong Ming Yue along to watch the two prodigies' sparring.
This made Donggong Ming Yue start to shut himself off. Both Liu Ningshuang and Jian Ruyu had the utmost talent, and Donggong Ming Yue, initially proud of his rapid progress in cultivation and even becoming a bit cocky,
suddenly felt like he was nothing but trash.
"Sister is so strong! Sister Ruyu is strong too! I must work even harder!" Donggong Ming Yue wore a determined face, making Lu Yi deeply gratified.
"That's right! Cultivate well, and big brother will make you so delicious food."
If this guy didn't strive hard, how could he advance to the Golden Core Realm, and how could he gain more rewards?
One day, while Lu Yi was cultivating,
suddenly the voice of Yun Xi ca from outside: "Brother Lu Yi, Yun Xi is visiting, please co out."
Lu Yi opened his eyes, sowhat surprised, "Why has Yun Xi co?"
He left the Cave Mansion, opened the door, and stepped out, only to see Yun Xi in a purple dress standing outside, her beautiful face delicate, her skin like jade reflecting a soft glow.
Lu Yi said with a light laugh, "Yun Xi, what brings you here?"
Yun Xi smiled and said, "Grandma also ca. She ntioned that Wenjian Manor plans to form an alliance with our Three Sects on so important matter. I missed you, so I pleaded with grandma to bring along."
Looking at Yun Xi's smile, Lu Yi's mouth twitched.
This was the first ti he had ever heard a female cultivator say she missed him.
But then again, only Yun Xi would say sothing like this, as her approach had always been like this.
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Indeed, it's been a long ti since we last t. Co in, let's have a good catch-up."
