Chapter 78: Epiphany of Sword Intent, Drastic Changes in the Firmament

Looking at Shangguan Qiujian kneeling before him, Han Jue suddenly felt a trace of pity in his heart.

Perhaps the other party genuinely just wanted to spar?

Did I shatter his Dao Heart just now by going all out right from the start?

Han Jue spoke, "You guys should head back. Do not mention this matter to outsiders, and I won't speak of it either."

With that said, Han Jue turned around, preparing to leave.

Shangguan Qiujian hurriedly got up and asked through gritted teeth, "Dao… Senior, exactly what sacred being are you? May I ask your true Daoist title?"

"Reincarnation."

Dropping these two words, Han Jue left.

Shangguan Qiujian stood frozen in place, repeatedly chanting the two words 'Reincarnation' in his mouth.

Huang Jihao comforted, "I had it even worse than you back then. You've got it pretty good, you didn't even get hurt."

Shangguan Qiujian gave a wry smile, "I never expected that Great Yan truly conceals such a mighty figure. No wonder the weakest Great Yan has always been peaceful and calm, with no one daring to invade."

He now believed Huang Jihao's words.

The mighty figure who had an Epiphany into the eternal Sword Dao back then indeed came from Great Yan!

Han Jue's sword was terrifying to the extreme. Thinking back on it now, cold sweat still uncontrollably broke out along his spine.

"Reincarnation… With mighty figures of the world living in seclusion, it turns out I was merely a frog at the bottom of a well."

Shangguan Qiujian sighed inwardly.

Sensing Li Qingzi and the others flying over, they immediately departed.

On the other side.

A line of text popped up before Han Jue, who had returned to the Innate Cave Mansion:

[Shangguan Qiujian has developed Favorability towards you. Current Favorability is 3 stars.]

Han Jue couldn't help but shake his head.

Why were these geniuses all cut from the same cloth? Bullying them a bit just breeds Favorability.

Han Jue captured the auras of Li Qingzi and others patrolling around.

He suddenly felt that he was lacking somewhat.

Every time he deterred enemies, it required such a massive fanfare, which went against the word 'low-profile'.

No way!

I need to comprehend a Move that targets only the enemy without causing a massive commotion.

Han Jue frowned and began to rack his brains in deep thought.

…

Demon King Diansu was about to go crazy!

Ever since that bizarre heavy injury began, every three years, he would re-experience that very nightmare.

He had no idea where the problem actually lay.

If it truly was an Immortal, why not just kill him outright?

Demon King Diansu no longer had any ambition; his mind was entirely filled with how to get rid of such a nightmare.

On this day, his adopted son Yang Tiandong came to visit.

Yang Tiandong was here to gather information on when Demon King Diansu would launch an attack on the Human Race.

Before he even had a chance to ask, Demon King Diansu began pouring out his grievances.

Demon King Diansu truly couldn't take it anymore. Yang Tiandong was his adopted son, and he felt he could be trusted.

After listening to Demon King Diansu's recent situation, Yang Tiandong fell silent with a gloomy expression.

Inside, he was ecstatic!

Is my chance to rise to power coming soon?

"Adoptive father, could it be related to your plan to target the Human Race?" Yang Tiandong asked cautiously.

Demon King Diansu slumped on the ice bed and said, "This king stopped thinking about that plan long ago. Could it be that I need to swear an oath to the heavens?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Demon King Diansu suddenly perked up.

Right!

Swear an oath to the heavens, only then would that Immortal see it!

Demon King Diansu immediately got up, raised his right palm, and said, "I, Diansu, swear to the heavens that I will never target the Great Yan Human Race again. May the Immortals and gods forgive this lesser demon's ignorant attempts!"

Uttering these words, Demon King Diansu instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps it was just psychological comfort, but Demon King Diansu felt that everything would turn for the better.

Yang Tiandong offered congratulations on the surface while secretly showing disdain.

With just this, you still want to be the king of Great Yan?

Do you even deserve it?

…

Half a year later.

Shangguan Qiujian and Huang Jihao returned to the True Martial Sect.

After being defeated by Han Jue with a single sword strike, Shangguan Qiujian's Dao Heart was almost destroyed. To consolidate his Dao Heart, during the return journey, he continuously challenged cultivation Sects to rebuild his confidence.

After parting ways with Huang Jihao, Shangguan Qiujian returned in front of his pavilion, just as he was about to push the door open and enter.

At that very moment, the firmament underwent drastic changes, and a patch of purple rosy clouds appeared.

The sword at Shangguan Qiujian's waist began to vibrate and hum again, though this time it did not automatically draw itself.

Not only him, but all the Sword Cultivators of the entire True Martial Sect were like this, all looking at their own swords in shock.

Here it comes again!

The last time, someone comprehended the eternal Sword Dao; what about this time?

Shangguan Qiujian's first thought was of Han Jue.

Could it be that the Senior had gained further insights into the Sword Dao?

Shangguan Qiujian revealed a wry smile.

Compared to Senior Reincarnation, he was truly a Mortal.

Not only the True Martial Sect, but the swords of all Sects across the entire world were vibrating and humming.

On the other side.

At the peak of a cloud-piercing mountain, a Black-robed man was meditating and cultivating facing the eastern sun, surrounded by a boundless sea of clouds.

He suddenly opened his eyes, only to see the four swords floating on his left and right vibrating and humming violently.

The Black-robed man frowned and muttered, "Someone had an Epiphany and comprehended Sword Intent… At least eternal Sword Intent…"

He took out a talisman paper, placed it on the ground in front of him, and began casting spells with both hands. The four swords landed on the talisman paper in turns, touching it briefly before departing.

Ten breaths later.

Handwriting gradually emerged on the talisman paper, ultimately forming two large, powerful characters.

Reincarnation!

The Black-robed man's expression turned solemn as he muttered, "What does this mean? Does Reincarnation refer to the rules of heaven and earth… or does it refer to a certain practitioner?"

…

Jade Purity Sect.

The swords of everyone from the Elders down to the Outer Sect Disciple were vibrating and humming.

This matter made everyone nervous, and they gathered one after another to discuss it.

"What is going on?"

"I'm not sure, even the sky has changed color."

"Could a mighty figure have been born?"

"I reckon an Immortal or god has descended to the Mortal world!"

"It is said that such an anomaly also appeared decades ago."

"Is the Jade Purity Sect about to usher in a great calamity?"

…

While the Disciples were worried, the Elders received news that the firmament of the entire Great Yan was like this, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as it wasn't targeted at the Jade Purity Sect, that was fine.

Li Qingzi's first reaction was to go find Han Jue, but upon second thought, the matter hadn't even been figured out yet, so abruptly disturbing Han Jue like this wouldn't be good.

Li Qingzi raised his eyes to look at the purple firmament, muttering, "Bad luck! Why is the Jade Purity Sect so plagued by disasters by the time it reaches my generation?"

The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became.

He could only pray that this wasn't a catastrophe.

Meanwhile.

Inside the Innate Cave Mansion.

Han Jue, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, was wrapped in fierce winds around his body—that was wind formed from Sword Qi.

Between his brows, the pattern of a small sword appeared, flickering in and out of view.

Han Jue was comprehending Sword Intent, a Sword Intent that belonged exclusively to him.

In the nether, his consciousness arrived within a flowing River of Sword Dao. All around were sword shadows, shooting towards the same direction at extreme speed, with colorful rosy light flowing to form a bizarre space resembling a spacetime tunnel.

Han Jue's body moved forward uncontrollably, neither fast nor slow, strolling amidst the sword shadows.

Ahead, figures appeared, formed by sword light and blurry. These people walked very slowly and were successively overtaken by Han Jue.

Han Jue entered a wondrous and mystical state.

He was solidifying his own Sword Intent.

His Sword Intent was indomitable, overbearing, and enduring, wishing to draw all living beings into it with no escape, resembling the six paths of reincarnation!

He was going to create such a Sword Intent!

What was the purpose of constantly cultivating in seclusion?

It was for eternal life and immortality!

It was to be invincible across the heavens!

It was so that a single sword could execute all living beings of the heavens, with none other than himself!

What he wanted was not such brutality, but to possess such confidence—absolute invincibility could truly grant eternal life and immortality!
