My Sword Intent Can Be Infinitely Improved

Chapter 53: Evil Spirits and Evil Immortals

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

“Let’s talk about the Evil Spirits first.”

“Evil spirits are very terrifying and unsolvable. What they like the most is to torture people. They trap people in a fixed area and torture them continuously to make people feel fear.”

“These evil spirits seem to gain strength from fear, so wherever they appear, it marks the beginning of nightmares in that place.”

“People there can’t escape; they can only watch as others are tortured to death, knowing that they will be next.”

“Some evil spirits may not be powerful, but… defeating evil spirits isn’t about strength.”

“Each type of evil spirit must be killed in a specific way. Using brute force or superior cultivation alone will only result in their quick revival.”

“For example, some evil spirits fear fire, while others fear light. Only the powers they fear can kill them; other forces are ineffective, only capable of buying time or temporarily delaying them.”

“Various special evil spirits require various special powers. Some powers may exist, but they are extremely weak and unable to kill evil spirits. Consequently, we have no means to deal with certain special evil spirits.”

As Gu Xiu finished speaking, there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and perhaps some deeper reluctance.

But he quickly composed himself.

“That’s basically what evil spirits are like. They appear everywhere, but they seem to appear most frequently in Heilin Province, which is somewhat unique.”

Su Yang also understood that evil spirits were special…However, it seemed like…His sword moves could be forged according to his thoughts.

As long as he had enough Will of All Beings, could he create sword techniques like the Sword Intent of Fire or the Sword Intent of Thunder to completely overpower all evil spirits?

It seemed… possible.

“Old Gu, how can we determine what powers evil spirits fear?” Su Yang asked.

Gu Xiu took out a palm-sized black stone with mysterious patterns on it and said, “This is called an Evil Spirit Stone. It can sense what powers evil spirits fear within a radius of one hundred meters.’

“It’s a very special item, closely associated with evil spirits.”

After explaining the concept of evil spirits, Gu Xiu made Su Yang understand what an Evil Immortal was.

“As for Evil Immortals…

“Among cultivators, there is a special cultivation method that harnesses the power of mountains and rivers. The correct path is to grow and become stronger alongside mountains and rivers. Unfortunately, it seems that cultivators lack the means to reciprocate and nourish mountains and rivers; they can only enhance themselves.

“In that case, there won’t be any problems. They can slowly cultivate.”

“However, some individuals with impure intentions have thought of destructively absorbing the origins of mountains and rivers, causing mountains to collapse and rivers to run dry.”

“In serious cases, it can even cause the life force of an entire area to be extinguished.”

“All of this is just to let them cultivate faster.”

“This is destroying heaven and earth, and it will also cause the people of the land to suffer.’

“It’s nothing for cultivators to have no mortals in their eyes.”

“But when they no longer treat mortals as humans and can do anything for the sake of cultivation, they have become Evil Immortals.”

“Fortunately, this is just a minor path. The orthodox cultivation path for cultivators still involves reciprocating with the heavens and the earth.”

Gu Xiu’s explanation also made Su Yang understand what an evil immortal was.

After asking these two questions, Su Yang walked to the courtyard and began to swing his sword. Since he might be facing a Grandmaster soon, he needed to increase his cultivation level quickly.

Practicing the sword for twelve hours a day was not enough, far from enough! So he increased it to sixteen hours!

However, Su Yang could not help but complain in his heart.

It was even more efficient than an assembly line.

Su Yang began to swing his sword and released his sword intent as promised to Gu Xiu.

When Gu Xiu saw this, his eyes lit up and he immediately found a spot to start comprehending.

But after a while, Gu Xiu became extremely puzzled. In his perception, the strength of Su Yang’s sword intent suddenly increased by several times.

How… was that possible?

Even if Su Yang was a genius and could comprehend deeper levels of Sword Intent through sword practice, how could it increase so much all of a sudden?

Gu Xiu was confused. Did he not understand the world of geniuses?

Or… was Su Yang an anomaly?

[Sword Intent LV25: 3/25000]

Su Yang entered a quiet state of practicing his sword. Meanwhile, the outside world was in an uproar due to Su Yang’s actions.

The title of the strongest person in Tianfeng Prefecture had spread.

The faces of the Fire Sword Sect and the Golden Blade Sect had been beaten swollen. They became the subjects of discussion.

Some people were worried. After all, the two sects had Grandmasters. Would they pose a threat to Su Yang? However, they were soon countered by others. Regardless of Su Yang’s actual strength, the fact that he was affiliated with the imperial court meant that the Grandmasters of those two sects wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.

No matter how weak the imperial court was, it was not something a few Grandmasters could provoke, not to mention killing an official of the imperial court.

The Patrol Department and the Four-Direction Inspector were sixth-grade officials.

Of course, they couldn’t be openly killed, but in secret, who knows?

There were still various discussions.

Tingfeng Tower

“You probably won’t become the current number one genius in Tianfeng Prefecture , little monk.” Li Qinglan, dressed in black martial attire, sat across from Hui Kong.

“Amitabha, monks don’t seek fame and fortune.” Hui Kong smiled calmly and replied.

“Little monk, don’t pretend. You cultivated the Furious Diamond Eyes to defeat everyone in Tianfeng Prefecture . Your intention is clear.” Li Qinglan exposed him disdainfully.

Hui Kong wasn’t angered either; he smiled and said, “The benefactor knows a lot indeed.”

“You’re right, but there’s nothing I can do. If I can’t defeat him, I won’t provoke that anomaly. He suppressed a first-grade expert with his state of mind alone. I don’t dare to mess with him.”

“Hehe, little monk, that’s more like it. Don’t take it too seriously.” Li Qinglan chuckled. “So, your Buddhist intention can’t be fulfilled?”

“The benefactor is joking.” Hui Kong squinted his eyes. “I don’t consider that anomaly as my peer.”

“Fine, little monk. You dare to deceive Buddha.”

“Amitabha… The benefactor misunderstood. Monks don’t speak falsehoods. Anomaly and genius are not of the same level. I believe Buddha can understand.”

“Senior Uncle, are we just going to let this matter go?” Zhang Lie looked at Zhang Qianjun unwillingly.

This time, not to mention the title of the county’s top genius or anything else, he felt that his face had been completely lost.

In the future, when he went out, his reputation might be: Look, that’s Zhang Lie, the one who was brought to his knees by Su Yang.

The more he thought about it, the more unwilling Zhang Lie felt.

Zhang Qianjun glanced at him and said, “What else can we do? Should we wait for the Sect Master to come and defend you, storming into the Inspectorate to arrest someone?”

“Are you tired of living, so you want to drag the Fire Sword Sect into a death trap too?”

“Use your brain. Can’t you see that I’m kneeling as well?” Zhang Qianjun said, slightly displeased.

“If you don’t want to live anymore, do you want to bring the Fire Sword Sect down with you?”

“Think a little. Can’t you see that this anomaly is not someone we can deal with?”

Although Zhang Qianjun felt a bit annoyed, when he saw Zhang Lie’s unwilling expression, he continued to say, “Remember, in this situation, you only have two choices.”

“Either forget about it and pretend that this never happened. Or endure it and wait for an opportunity to retaliate.”

“If you want revenge, you only have one chance. If you can’t kill this anomaly, then you’re done for. If you take action, the situation won’t be the same as today.”

“Don’t be foolish. He is not on the same level as us. To put it bluntly, don’t compare a small grass like us to a towering tree like Su Yang…”

Zhang Qianjun saw through it clearly, and he tried his best to console Zhang Lie, not wanting him to go down a path of no return.

The unwillingness in Zhang Lie’s eyes gradually dissipated, and he sighed, “Senior Uncle is right…”

Yes…

Don’t compare a small grass to a towering tree.
