NOVPUBBecoming a Five-Qi Grandmaster, opening twelve Heavenly Pulses, and mastering the Intent Realm would allow one to return the five qi to the Sea of Consciousness.
However, it is rare for someone to have mastered the Intent Realm without having opened the twelve Heavenly Pulses.
The reason is simple: to grasp the martial arts of the Intent Realm with extremely low cultivation indicates extraordinary talent and potential. Therefore, the Martial Artist’s clan or sect will surely use all resources to help him open the twelve Heavenly Pulses and become a Five-Qi Grandmaster!
Such a freak of nature would have any power willing to spend huge resources to nurture, after all, mastering the Intent Realm and advancing in cultivation would almost certainly equate to a Five-Qi Grandmaster!
Martial Artists like Su Changkong, whose martial arts realm progresses much faster than their Martial Arts Realm, are almost unheard of!
"This is a... freak! With such low cultivation, he mastered Blade Intent?"
The man in green robes screamed in agony, while the man in blue was dripping cold sweat from his forehead, not daring to move an inch.
They had just confirmed that Su Changkong had only opened eight Heavenly Pulses; they thought they could easily take him down, considering themselves far superior and not taking him seriously.
But who could expect that this youth in black would wield Blade Intent? Their Divine Skills and Divine Weapons, which were impregnable to swords and spears, couldn’t even scratch him, yet before the Blade Intent, they were as fragile as tofu!
The man in blue robes had a face like carved yellow rock, his expression changing indeterminably, but after a long while, he managed a smile, "Misunderstanding... it was all a misunderstanding... It was presumptuous of my brother and me. I am willing to offer an apology!"
Although the green-robed man’s arm had been crushed to pieces, causing him excruciating pain, he too knew he had provoked someone untouchable and just clenched his teeth in silence.
The two who were previously condescending had now, in the face of Su Changkong’s revealed Blade Intent, changed their attitude by ninety degrees, becoming grovelling and overly compliant.
But Su Changkong wasn’t showing a good face; he knew if his strength weren’t greater than theirs, it would certainly be him lying on the ground, and he might not even be able to stay alive.
Right away, Su Changkong spoke coldly, "You two are from a noble clan? What are your names?"
Su Changkong’s eyes, sharp as a blade, were filled with a crushing pressure, as if he could mince them into pieces with just a thought!
Not daring to hide anything, the man in blue quickly responded, "We are the scions of the Mysterious Stone City’s noble clan. My name is Shi Lan, and he is my younger brother Shi Qing. Our Family Head Shi Bupo is the top warrior of Mysterious Stone City... You might know him, senior."
Shi Lan in blue robes reported his identity and background.
The Shi Family of Mysterious Stone City indeed represented an enormous entity, an ancient family with profound heritage, the absolute master of Mysterious Stone City. Shi Bupo, the Family Head of the Shi Family, was a top-notch fighter with a huge reputation in the entire Wuji Empire, a venerable Family Head!
By revealing his identity, Shi Lan hoped to intimidate this youth in black and have him spare them.
But, of course, Su Changkong had no idea who Shi Bupo of the Shi Family was.
Su Changkong said gravely, "You said I’m a remnant of the Li Family? What are you doing here at Book Fragrance Mountain?"
Three years prior, the Li Family had relocated entirely, and Su Changkong had also witnessed the desolation on Book Fragrance Mountain, suggesting that a great battle had occurred. Moreover, given that these brothers from the Shi Family called him a remnant of the Li Family, it was clear that the Li Family’s relocation had everything to do with the Shi Family!
Shi Lan forced a smile and said, "It’s a misunderstanding... The Li Family seemed righteous but were actually a den of deceitful scoundrels, and there were some grudges between us and the Shi Family, the specifics of which I’m not very clear on. We were just ordered by our Family Head to deliver a letter to Book Fragrance Mountain."
As Su Changkong had guessed, it appeared the Li Family had indeed moved because they feared the Shi Family, and conflicts had erupted between the two families.
Su Changkong wondered, with the Li Family no longer on Book Fragrance Mountain, how delivering a letter there could be of any use?
But Su Changkong cut to the chase and demanded, "Where is the letter? Hand it over!"
Having no choice, Shi Lan braced himself and took an envelope from his bosom, offering it cautiously with both hands, afraid that Su Changkong might misunderstand.
Su Changkong took it, tore open the envelope to check its contents, only to frown at finding the envelope contained nothing but a blank piece of paper.
Before Su Changkong could inquire, Shi Lan was already eagerly explaining, "The Family Head said it’s a secret letter that only someone from the Li Family could reveal with a special method."
Su Changkong looked carefully at Shi Lan, observing his nervous and fearful demeanor, which truly didn’t seem deceptive.
After further questioning, he gained little useful information; the whereabouts of the Li Family was unknown to the Shi brothers. Just as they had said, they were merely following Shi Bupo’s orders to deliver a letter to Book Fragrance Mountain, placing it in the manor before leaving immediately.
But they happened to encounter Su Changkong, also seeking the Li Family, engaging in cultivation after finding nothing. They suspected he might be connected to the Li Family and thus planned to capture him, not expecting Su Changkong’s strength to far exceed his shown Martial Arts Realm!
"You..."
Su Changkong looked contemplative, but suddenly, without any warning, he moved, his fingers thrusting out together, his robust finger force carrying a hint of Blade Intent, piercing directly towards the Dantians of Shi Lan and Shi Qing. The two cried out as a golden glow tried to activate their Divine Skills for defense, but it was futile!
"Puff! Puff!"
The Impregnable Blade Intent effortlessly tore through their abdomens, shredding their Dantians to pieces.
Immediately, the two spat blood profusely, no longer able to maintain their Divine Skills, their bodies deflating like punctured balloons, returning to their normal state.
