Chapter 1499: Chapter 75 Sword Formation Double Ji! That Familiar Sword Intent (Seeking Monthly Votes)_2

Watching the last grains of sand slip through the hourglass, Jiqianqian finally reopened her eyes.

A sharp gleam flashed beneath her eyes.

With a graceful lift of her hand, all her energy and spirit converged on the sword she held.

Sword Intent is a reflection of the heart state of sword cultivation—it tolerates no deceit.

Without the enhancement of Mysterious Energy, the strength of Sword Intent relies solely on the heart state.

She flicked her wrist, and a beam of Sword Energy shot out instantly.

The fierce Sword Intent, carrying a relentless force, surged forward as if to carve a path through the complex predicament.

Even if the path ahead was filled with tumultuous waves and thorny grounds, she would persist against the current, moving forward without hesitation.

"Puchi!"

Amidst the crisp sound, a clear sword mark suddenly appeared on the Sword Inscription Monument.

Jiqianqian staggered slightly, feeling as if all her energy and spirit had been drained in an instant. Yet, she paid no heed to this, immediately looking up at the sword mark she had created.

In a flash.

Disappointment appeared on her face.

The sword mark was less than an inch long.

Despite her best effort, why was it still...

"Ah, what a pity~" Ji Yanxiu, shaking his head with regret, said, "In terms of willpower, Qianqian’s this strike was much stronger than mine at the time. If she currently had a cultivation base of the Purple Abode Realm and a higher Bloodline Talent, perhaps she could have realized more."

The stronger the Bloodline Talent, the higher the compatibility with the Heavenly Dao becomes, making the understanding of the Heavenly Dao and Laws relatively easier.

Similarly, this principle applies when comprehending the Sword Intent left by predecessors, naturally giving some advantage.

His thoughts stirred uncontrollably, almost making him think: If the Old Ancestor had not insisted on giving the opportunity to himself, a male of the Direct Line, but had given it to Jiqianqian, with her innate conditions, it’s highly likely that she would have already succeeded in ascending to the Purple Abode Realm.

If she had been the one to take part in the trial earlier, maybe, just maybe, she could have... Oh, what’s the point of thinking about this now? After all, it’s my own lack of competence, who else can I blame?

"It seems, I am not fated to obtain the Codex." Jiqianqian sighed, a bit disheartened.

But she knew that with her level of strength, the hope of gaining recognition from the Codex was extremely slim. Having prepared herself mentally in advance, she was not too hard to accept it.

Moreover, regardless, this experience of comprehending Sword Intent had been greatly beneficial to her.

While Wang Anye stepped forward to comfort Jiqianqian, Wei Qingyun also stood up tall and gracefully turned to Yun Tai’an: "Gentlemen, I trust there are no objections to me going second?"

"As you wish."

Yun Tai’an held an ancient sword in his arms, his expression cold.

His gaze was focused on the sword mark all along, his expression intent. Clearly, he wasn’t much concerned with either Jiqianqian’s performance or Wei Qingyun’s words.

"I don’t mind either." Wang Anye said calmly.

"Then I won’t be polite."

Wei Qingyun gave a bow to everyone, and with a flicker of his figure, he landed in front of the Sword Inscription Monument and sat down cross-legged, placing his hands on the sword mark.

Seeing this, Ji Yanxiu immediately flipped the hourglass, starting the timer again.

At first, there seemed to be no significant change, but as time passed, Wei Qingyun’s entire temperament began to subtly transform.

An incredibly sharp Sword Intent, with him at its core, slowly began to emanate.

Gradually, even the Spiritual Energy flowing through heaven and earth, along with the Sword Intent enveloping the Sword Tomb, seemed to be affected by his aura, subtly beginning to change.

This was a phenomenon likely to occur only when one’s comprehension of Sword Intent reached a profound depth—moving Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, a rare occurrence indeed.

Yun Tai’an unconsciously stood up straight, his expression gradually turning serious.

He had not expected Wei Qingyun’s understanding of the Sword Dao to be no less than his own.

Soon, the two hours had passed.

Wei Qingyun suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and full of confidence.

He understood.

The way of the sword lies in "struggle."

To struggle against others, against the heavens, against the earth. To kill anyone who stands in one’s way, to slay deities who block the path!

With a swift move, he grasped the hilt of the ancient sword behind him.

In the next moment, the ancient sword was drawn, and a fierce cold light burst forth.

It was a Sword Intent of utmost purity, carrying an unparalleled sharpness.

Where the Sword Intent reached, it seemed capable of breaking through all obstacles in the world—domineering, cold, full of murderous intent, with an exposed sharp edge!

"Puchi!"

A three-inch long sword mark suddenly appeared on the Sword Inscription Monument, exceeding the required one inch by two full inches!

"Hiss!"

Jiqianqian and Ji Yanxiu both gasped in unison.

Too strong!

Even Wang Anye and Yun Tai’an temporarily shifted their eyes, their expressions becoming grave.

As this sword mark appeared, the Sword Inscription Monument slightly shook, and suddenly underwent a violent change.

Beams of light burst out from the Sword Inscription Monument as its center, instantly dispersing the fog that enveloped the sky above the Sword Tomb, brightening the entire sky.

Simultaneously, a lazy and charming female voice suddenly rang out: "Eh? Someone actually passed the second challenge?"

"Let me see... A three-inch sword mark? Hmm, this score can be ranked fourth on the overall list." At this moment, another girl’s voice with a clear tone said, "Seems like he has quite good comprehension."

As these two voices sounded.

A Codex fluttered out energetically.

Unlike other Codexes that only had one Artifact Spirit, this Codex was flanked by two semi-transparent Artifact Spirits on either side, both of whom appeared to be girls around twelve or thirteen years old.
