Chapter 1 Heaven and Earth Qiankun Sword Skill
Carefree Town lay on the frontier near Mist Magnetic Lake.
Bustling with the ebb and flow of people, it was remarkably lively.
Many cultivators chose Carefree Town as a place to rest their feet.
Carefree Town even had branch associations for Spirit Array Masters, Alchemists, and the Mercenary Association.
Not all cities could boast having branches of these three major guilds.
The fact that Carefree Town did underscored its uniqueness.
Lin Feng arrived at Carefree Town where hawkers' cries were incessant.
There were also many cultivators coming and going.
This time, Lin Feng did not head to Wuci Town as he planned to go to Junzi City to meet Han Zihua and fulfill the promise made years ago.
Lin Feng checked into an inn, proposing to rest for a day. After bathing and changing into clean clothes, he headed outside.
Lanterns were just being lit.
The town at night was still bustling.
Shops lined the streets on either side, peddling an assortment of goods.
Of course, there were even more small-time vendors.
"Newly unearthed Ancient Magical Treasures for sale, come take a look!"
Lin Feng heard a familiar voice.
He looked over, his eyes lighting up with recognition.
Wuliang Taoist!
It was this fellow.
The heir of the Banshan Taoist lineage.
Many people were gathered around Wuliang Taoist's small stall.
Various bottles, jars, and dilapidated magic artifacts lay heaped.
Many people were pointing and debating energetically, discussing whether the items on display were worth purchasing.
"I'll take them all..." Lin Feng stepped forward.
"Who's this kid? We were here first and haven't picked yet."
"That's right, some order of first-come-first-serve must be observed, right?"
"I want this one, I want that one..."
"Taoist, hurry up and hand me that rusty dagger."
"I'll take that jar with the dragon pattern on it."
Many people, no longer hesitating, called out all at once.
Wuliang Taoist burst into laughter.
The items he sold were mostly fake.
The only time he was fooled was when he sold the Devouring Sky Vase to Lin Feng.
That had left Wuliang Taoist brooding for a long time.
Lin Feng smiled slightly and said, "It seems, Taoist, that your business is booming."
"Much thanks to your good fortune, young man," replied Wuliang Taoist, his eyes darting about; Lin Feng knew this wily fellow was hatching some mischievous plan.
Lin Feng laughed and said, "My cultivation has greatly increased lately, and I've been wanting to exercise my muscles on a few ignorant thieves with malicious intent."
Wuliang Taoist grinned and said, "Haha, Donor, you've become even more heroic than before. What fool would dare to target you?"
Clearly, Wuliang Taoist's words were disingenuous. He had always wanted to take back the Devouring Sky Vase, but now that Lin Feng's cultivation had increased significantly, Wuliang Taoist felt it was a tough proposition.
Lin Feng asked, "It's been years, how have you been during this time, Taoist?"
Wuliang Taoist let out a sly chuckle and said, "Not too bad. I've discovered a few... ancient... relics."
Lin Feng's mouth twitched involuntarily.
Banshan Taoists, Faqiu Middle Langjiang, and Tomb Raider Captains.
What were they up to?
Tomb robbers, indeed.
The Banshan Taoist lineage was ostracized and expelled from Orthodox Taoism exactly because they regularly dug up ancestral graves.
The "ancient relics" Wuliang Taoist mentioned were evidently ancient tombs.
It seemed this fellow had obtained quite a few treasures. The tombs that attracted a Banshan Taoist's attention were surely extraordinary.
"Shall we find a tavern and catch up properly?" suggested Lin Feng.
"Many thanks for your hospitality," replied Wuliang Taoist, a man who never missed a chance to gain an advantage.
Lin Feng didn't mind these trivialities; he and Wuliang Taoist headed towards a tavern.
At that moment,
a cultivator approached from the opposite direction.
Wearing a straw hat,
he held a treasure sword in his hand.
As he walked step by step,
Sword Qi swirled around his body.
This powerful Sword Qi formed a Sword Intent.
Many bystanders were sent flying by its force.
"So impressive, he's realized Sword Intent. He's coming for you."
Wuliang Taoist's eyes were shrewd, and he leapt out at the first opportunity.
With an indifferent attitude that suggested it was none of his business.
"Sword Intent! Such a powerful Sword Intent! This kind of Sword Intent is perhaps not even slightly inferior to the one I've comprehended!"
Lin Feng squinted his eyes.
He had comprehended the supreme Sword Intent with the four styles of "Sword Slash Heaven and Earth, Heavenly Sword Intent, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Sect, One Sword Eternity."
Lin Feng's Sword Intent was extremely powerful, and he was surprised by the Sword Intent of the man before him, which was clearly of an inscrutably profound level.
"There are countless sword cultivators in this world, like carps crossing the river, but those who can comprehend Sword Intent are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns under the All Heavens. Li Jianxiao, I didn't expect you to have comprehended Sword Intent."
Lin Feng looked at the man approaching step by step, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Li Jianxiao, a core disciple of Azure Cloud Sect, a Sword Dao genius, and one of the few core disciples deeply trusted by Huangfu Qingtian.
He had even accompanied Liu Mengyan to the Divine Ruins in the past.
"Are you prepared to die?", Li Jianxiao asked coldly, surrounded by millions of Sword Qi swirling about.
The Sword Intent grew stronger and stronger.
Beside the street, there were countless onlookers, their faces filled with shocked horror.
Because the Sword Intent radiated by Li Jianxiao was too overwhelming,
Suffocating many onlookers.
"He's actually comprehended the Sword Dao Will, it's too terrifying."
Some of the more powerful cultivators looked at Li Jianxiao with expressions full of horror.
Even many masters of the Creation Realm might not be able to comprehend the Sword Dao Will.
It required exceptional comprehension.
"You're too arrogant," Lin Feng shook his head.
"This is confidence."
Li Jianxiao's voice was indifferent, "I have entered the Dao with the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Sword Skill, comprehending the supreme Sword Intent. Today, I shall sacrifice your blood to my sword, allowing my Heaven and Earth Qiankun Sword Skill to achieve its Great Achievement."
As his words fell, Li Jianxiao drew his treasure sword.
"Heaven and Earth Qiankun Sword Skill!"
With a loud shout, he wielded the longsword, slashing down with a single stroke.
Instantly, everyone felt as if
Everything between Heaven and Earth had vanished.
In this Heaven and Earth, Li Jianxiao was the Dominator, the Eternal.
Numerous cultivators even knelt on the ground, worshipping Li Jianxiao.
This was the Sword Intent of the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Sword Skill.
In this Heaven and Earth, I am the Dominator.
"That kid is definitely going to die..."
Many people exclaimed in shock.
In their eyes, Li Jianxiao's sword skill possessed an unpredictably divine might.
While Lin Feng,
Was destined to die by this sword.
"What an excellent move, Heaven and Earth Qiankun Sword Skill. Indeed, your reputation as a Sword Dao genius is well-deserved."
Lin Feng looked up at Li Jianxiao.
Whoosh.
Then,
Everyone saw Lin Feng vanish.
Between Heaven and Earth,
There was only a blade of light, a strand of Sword Qi.
Ascending to the nine heavens.
The blade and Sword Qi merged into one,
Instantly striking toward Li Jianxiao.
Pfft.
A sound of tearing through the air.
When the blinding light dissipated,
People looked over to see Lin Feng, standing with his back to Li Jianxiao, several meters away.
"Has the fight ended? Who won and who lost?"
Many people were puzzled.
"Why... why has it turned out this way?" Li Jianxiao murmured to himself.
"To you, Sword Intent might be your strongest weapon, but to me, Sword Intent is merely one of the weakest of many Divine Skills I possess,"
Lin Feng's voice was indifferent.
"So that's how it is."
Li Jianxiao let out a rueful laugh.
Pfft...
The next moment, his body was torn apart by the blade light and Sword Qi.
Limbs and severed arms scattered all around.
The Sword Dao genius Li Jianxiao.
Had fallen!
