Chapter 127: Saber Intent Finally Born! Demon Saber Becomes Divine Weapon!
Lie Yingniang’s face darkened.
She quickly arrived outside the Great Door.
Zhang Yuan was, after all, the “Limitless Saber,” and now he was renowned throughout Jianghu. She couldn’t possibly pretend not to see him.
“Great Hero Zhang, Mister Ji is currently in seclusion and refuses all disturbances, so Great Hero Zhang should please return.”
Lie Yingniang refused Zhang Yuan.
But Zhang Yuan did not believe it.
His gaze turned toward Hundred Battles Sect, and he calmly said: “Please ask Sect Leader Lie to inform Mister Ji of my words. From today onward, I will come once a day and wait for one hour, until Mister Ji is willing to grant me instruction!”
With that said, Zhang Yuan stopped speaking and stood in place, quietly waiting.
Lie Yingniang frowned.
This Zhang Yuan was truly troublesome.
Coming every day?
Moreover, he was just standing outside Hundred Battles Sect without any intention of forcing his way in.
Everything conformed to Jianghu Rules.
She had no way to deal with it.
“If you want to wait, then wait.”
Lie Yingniang turned around and said to the Hundred Battles Sect crowd: “All of you, ignore this Zhang Yuan. During this time, try not to leave Hundred Battles Sect as much as possible.”
“Yes, Sect Leader.”
Now Lie Yingniang was the Sect Leader of Hundred Battles Sect. Over these years, she had welcomed and sent off guests, dealt with Jianghu people, and also learned the importance of “reputation” in Jianghu.
Although Zhang Yuan had come entirely according to Jianghu Rules.
But if Zhang Yuan came every day while Ji Qing never showed up, it would likely be a huge blow to Ji Qing’s reputation.
“Sect Leader, should we notify Mister Ji?”
A disciple asked softly.
“Nonsense!”
“Mister Ji said that during his seclusion, aside from matters of life and death, no one is allowed to disturb him!”
“All of you remember this: do not disturb Mister Ji, or you will be expelled from Hundred Battles Sect!”
Lie Yingniang’s stern words startled the Hundred Battles Sect disciples.
Disturbing Mister Ji meant being expelled from Hundred Battles Sect?
Most of them were newly initiated disciples.
Today, they finally felt “Mister Ji”‘s status in the Sect Leader’s heart.
Over the next few days, Zhang Yuan came without fail, rain or shine, standing in front of Hundred Battles Sect and waiting for one hour each day.
After one hour, with Ji Qing not appearing, Zhang Yuan would silently leave.
No fuss, no noise.
But the more this was the case, the more it drew Jianghu’s attention.
After all, Zhang Yuan’s reputation was now too great.
A rising star of Jianghu who had defeated countless Martial World veterans.
Reputed as the “Limitless Saber,” he had also mastered Saber Momentum.
As time passed, more and more Martial Artists from Jianghu arrived in An Yang City.
They all wanted to witness this earth-shattering great war.
In the end, the people who came only saw Zhang Yuan alone.
Every day, standing at Hundred Battles Sect for one hour.
Ji Qing never showed his face at all.
“Once, Mister Ji of the ‘Astonishing Swan Saber’ was at the height of his fame, reputed to annihilate a sect single-handedly, peerlessly brilliant, even already the Number One Saber of Jianghu. Facing Great Hero Zhang of the ‘Limitless Saber,’ why doesn’t he dare to come out and meet?”
“Unclear. Mister Ji hasn’t shown himself for a very long time, and no one in Jianghu has seen Mister Ji in the past two years. Could it be that Mister Ji has already…”
“Sect Leader Lie says Mister Ji is in seclusion, but secluding for two years straight is too rare.”
“There was once a genius Swordsman who rose to fame in Jianghu, but unfortunately died before promoting to first-rate…”
Occasionally, someone would mention Ye Chunsheng of the “Meteor Sword.”
But even Ye Chunsheng paled far in comparison to the current Zhang Yuan.
The current Zhang Yuan was a first-rate expert!
Any first-rate expert could dominate a region.
Even enough to establish a sect.
As for first-rate experts going around challenging others, that was truly rare.
However, Zhang Yuan was different.
What Zhang Yuan sought was “Invincible Momentum,” which couldn’t be nurtured through seclusion—it could only be forged through battle!
Without defeating Ji Qing, the Number One Saber of Jianghu of the “Astonishing Swan Saber,” Zhang Yuan could never nurture “Invincible Momentum.”
Lie Yingniang saw Zhang Yuan had come again.
She couldn’t hold back anymore and said coldly: “Great Hero Zhang, I’ve made it very clear. Mister Ji is in seclusion. You waiting here every day is meaningless.”
But Zhang Yuan remained unmoved.
His gaze turned toward the Martial Arts Pavilion inside Hundred Battles Sect, and he said meaningfully: “Sect Leader Lie, no need to persuade me further. I can sense a terrifying Saber Momentum inside Hundred Battles Sect—that must be Mister Ji. Whether he’s in seclusion or emerging, I’ll wait here!”
“You…”
Lie Yingniang had no way to deal with it.
Drive Zhang Yuan away?
That was fundamentally impossible.
Zhang Yuan was a first-rate expert who had also mastered Saber Momentum.
Such a great expert was enough to roam all of Jianghu unchecked.
Even if over a hundred people from Hundred Battles Sect swarmed him, they couldn’t drive Zhang Yuan away.
Lie Yingniang could only hope that when Ji Qing emerged one day, he would thoroughly teach Zhang Yuan a lesson.
At this moment, Ji Qing was unaware of the matters outside Hundred Battles Sect.
He was wholly focused on tempering his Saber Momentum with the Demon Saber’s malevolent energy.
At the same time, he was still cultivating Saber Technique.
Calculating the time, including the previous seclusion to cultivate acupoints, it was indeed approaching two years.
But he still had no intention of emerging.
Because he was just a little short.
Just a little more and his Saber Momentum would reach perfection.
Once Saber Momentum reached perfection, that would be the moment he stepped into Saber Intent!
What kind of Saber Intent his Saber Momentum would evolve into, he didn’t know.
Ji Qing calculated the time.
Including the six months cultivating acupoints, he had been in seclusion for nearly twenty months and a bit.
Currently, Saber Momentum progress had reached 99%—just one Saber Technique short!
It was almost there.
Time flew by, and a few more days passed.
Ji Qing finally cultivated a Saber Technique to Major Accomplishment.
Then, he used an Origin Point to elevate it to perfection.
During the Saber Technique’s perfection process, Ji Qing began to comprehend Saber Momentum.
For every Saber Technique, Ji Qing comprehended a type of Saber Momentum, then merged it into his Major Accomplishment Saber Momentum.
Ji Qing was already practiced and extremely familiar with it.
Thus, in less than half an hour, Ji Qing comprehended a brand-new Saber Momentum.
Once merged, his Major Accomplishment Saber Momentum would reach 100%—that is, Saber Momentum perfection!
Once Saber Momentum reached perfection, Ji Qing’s Saber Momentum would evolve toward Saber Intent.
As for what kind of Saber Intent it would evolve into, Ji Qing didn’t know.
He took a deep breath, hesitated no longer, and fully merged the newly comprehended Saber Momentum into it.
“Boom.”
The new Saber Momentum merged, just like a drop of water falling into a pot of oil.
Immediately stirring up Stormy Seas.
Ji Qing’s Saber Momentum erupted violently.
At the same time, Ji Qing’s Saber Momentum jumped from 99% to 100%—this was Saber Momentum perfection!
How terrifying was perfected Saber Momentum??
Even the Demon Saber was firmly suppressed.
The so-called malevolent energy was utterly insignificant before such terrifying Saber Momentum.
But this was not the end.
Ji Qing’s Saber Momentum manifested, heaven and earth, stars, sun and moon, as well as mountains and rivers—from vast stars to a single blade of grass, an ant, a drop of water…
All seemed to constantly shift within the Saber Momentum.
After all, Ji Qing’s Saber Momentum encompassed heaven and earth.
And his Saber Momentum had merged too many types comprehended by Ji Qing.
All Saber Momenta fused into one.
Actually, some were too miscellaneous.
But no matter—upon Major Accomplishment of Saber Momentum, in this moment of evolution, all the chaotic Saber Momenta were uniformly transformed into “nourishment” for the Saber Momentum’s evolution.
This Saber Momentum evolution seemed to require a very long time.
One day, two days, three days, four days, five days…
Ji Qing’s mind fully immersed in the Saber Momentum’s evolution.
He only felt countless Saber Momenta flowing through his heart.
Every type of Saber Momentum, he knew like the back of his hand.
After all, these were all his comprehensions.
Previously, they felt chaotic and disorderly.
But now, as Saber Momentum continuously evolved, Ji Qing gradually gained an insight.
This was his path!
His Saber Momentum encompassed heaven and earth.
Thus, the Saber Intent he was about to evolve was also in this vein.
His saber was not pure.
Strictly speaking, Ji Qing wasn’t a Saber User.
Therefore, his saber had only one purpose: to grow stronger!
As long as it made him stronger, Saber Technique or Sword Technique, even Fist Technique or Palm Technique—it was all the same.
To Ji Qing, they were all the same.
Ji Qing’s all-encompassing Saber Momentum, with continuous evolution, gradually contracted and condensed.
“Boom.”
The Saber Momentum disappeared.
Dispersed.
Shattered.
As if it had never existed.
However, only Ji Qing knew clearly.
The Saber Momentum hadn’t truly collapsed or disappeared.
Rather, it had merged into his spirit.
Every strand of Ji Qing’s spirit contained Saber Momentum.
However, once spirit fused with Saber Momentum, it was no longer Saber Momentum.
It was… Saber Intent!
At this moment, Ji Qing’s Saber Intent was born!
Ji Qing’s heart stirred.
A strand of Saber Intent released outward.
“Boom.”
Like the opening of heaven and earth.
This strand of Saber Intent was like the entire heaven and earth!
“My Saber Intent is named ‘Heaven and Earth.'”
Inspiration struck Ji Qing.
A single strand of Saber Intent was as majestic as the entire heaven and earth.
How could human will withstand the entire heaven and earth?
At this moment, Ji Qing could cause someone’s mind to collapse and die with just a glance!
This was true killing with a glance!
Afterward, Ji Qing focused his gaze on the Demon Saber.
His spirit swept toward the Demon Saber.
“Buzz.”
The Demon Saber trembled violently.
Terrifying malevolent energy frantically spread out.
But every strand of Ji Qing’s spirit was Saber Intent.
And now, with Saber Intent descending, it was like the entire heaven and earth descending.
What was mere malevolent energy?
Thus, the Demon Saber’s malevolent energy was instantly suppressed.
At the same time, Ji Qing’s spirit infiltrated the Demon Saber’s blade.
He seemed to “see.”
Within the Demon Saber, there was a very weak strand of “spirituality.”
“Spirit of the Tool… or, Demon Spirit!”
Ji Qing understood.
So the Demon Saber had already birthed a Demon Spirit.
Once a Demon Spirit or Spirit of the Tool was born, the saber transcended mortality and became a Divine Weapon!
And Treasures required refining.
For Martial Artists to refine a Treasure, it was simple.
Directly imprint the spirit.
Ordinary Martial Artists lacked Saber Intent and couldn’t imprint their spirit.
But Ji Qing had Saber Intent.
His spirit instantly enveloped the Demon Spirit.
The Demon Spirit lacked even the power to move and was covered by Ji Qing’s spirit.
The next moment, Ji Qing felt a blood-flesh connection with the Demon Saber.
As if the Demon Saber had become part of his body.
And the Demon Spirit was completely “refined” by Ji Qing’s spirit.
“No wonder only Saber Intent can thoroughly suppress the Demon Saber. Only by condensing Saber Intent can one refine the Demon Saber. From then on, no matter how many people the Demon Saber kills or how terrifying its malevolent energy, it will no longer have any backlash…”
Ji Qing smiled.
Only now was the Demon Saber truly a Demon Saber!
And most crucially, the Demon Saber was no ordinary object but a Divine Weapon.
A Divine Weapon could precisely bear Saber Intent!
Ordinary mortal weapons could not bear Saber Intent.
Even Internal Energy could not bear Saber Intent—only after promoting to Innate and birthing Innate True Qi could it bear Saber Intent.
But a Divine Weapon could!
As long as he held this Divine Weapon, the Demon Saber, Ji Qing could fully unleash the might of Saber Intent!
Saber Intent was a power that even Innate experts dreaded immensely!
At this moment, Ji Qing greatly relaxed.
With Saber Intent achieved and a Divine Weapon in hand.
This Shangdu, he could boldly go!
