C2 Condensing the Sword Intent Small Completion!

The next day, Chen Feng rose with the dawn, his heart pounding with excitement at the prospect of his new life in this world. He quickly ate breakfast and then eagerly grabbed the Sect Leader's sword to practice the Basic Sword Spell.

In Huaxia's storied past, the sword was revered as the "king of all weapons," and many legendary figures like the Green Lotus Sword Immortal Li Bai, Sword Devil Du Gujiu, and Sword God Ximen Chuxue wielded it with unparalleled skill. Chen Feng held a deep affection for the sword as well.

He executed the fundamental techniques of the sword: slashing, stabbing, pointing, lifting, collapsing, cutting, wiping, piercing, lifting, twisting, and sweeping. Each move flowed seamlessly into the next.

His mastery of the Great Completion Holy Grade Basic Sword Spell was sublime, his movements as fluid and unpredictable as a dragon in flight. Even the most basic sword moves were executed with such finesse that they left no trace, constantly evolving in form and function.

Leaves in the courtyard danced in the wake of his sword, swirling in the air as if caught in an invisible storm. The sword Qi was palpable, a testament to the presence of Sword Intent.

The sword is the noblest of weapons, unyielding and resolute. A sword wielder should embody the same unstoppable determination.

In that moment, Chen Feng's mind was clear of all distractions, fully absorbed in the repetition and refinement of his swordplay, each motion stripping away the superfluous and returning to the essence of the art.

"What is my purpose in this world? What am I truly seeking?" These questions echoed in Chen Feng's mind, probing the depths of his soul.

Poverty had been his mark, loneliness his constant companion. Was this truly who he was? He questioned himself repeatedly, unwilling to accept a life of mediocrity. Was he meant to simply accept his lot, or was there more to his existence?

The thought of living a life as inconsequential as his last was intolerable. "No, this is not who I am. If fate has granted me this second chance, then I refuse to settle for the ordinary. I am determined to carve out my own destiny."

Having arrived in this world, Chen Feng resolved to not only ensure the survival and growth of his sect but also to forge his own path as a formidable force and live a life of purpose and clarity.

Every human life has its end, but its weight can be as monumental as Mount Tai or as insubstantial as a feather.

Chen Feng had an epiphany. His presence swelled, his swordplay quickened, and his Sword Intent intensified.

"My sword isn't for saving the world, nor for vanquishing evil or protecting the masses. It is the sword of the mighty, destined to reach the summit and dwarf all other mountains. That is the essence of my sword!"

The atmosphere around him halted abruptly, leaves falling as if time itself had paused, creating an eerie silence.

Chen Feng ceased his movements, standing tall in the courtyard.

Then, with a burst of energy, sword qi crisscrossed, and Sword Intent exploded in every direction, the force so overwhelming it seemed to oppress the very fabric of the world.

Leaves took flight, swirling in the air. Chen Feng began to execute the Basic Sword Spell, his movements accelerating with each passing moment.

Sword qi radiated outward with his every motion, the towering Sword Intent piercing the sky, slicing the leaves into countless pieces. The courtyard walls were etched with chaotic sword marks, leaving no trace of their origin.

Chen Feng opened his eyes, sheathed his long sword, and stood in serene stillness. His refined figure betrayed no hint of his power, yet he bore the air of an unparalleled swordsman, capable of severing all with a single stroke.

"Congratulations, host, for mastering the Basic Sword Spell and grasping the Sword Intent."

"Congratulations, host, for completing the hidden quest: Comprehend Jianxin!"

"The lottery function is now available."

"The system is upgrading. Please wait patiently for ten minutes."

...

Surveying the disarray around him, Chen Feng took in the sight of leaves scattered everywhere, each sliced with precision, littering the ground. The courtyard walls were scarred with sword marks.

Looking upon his handiwork, a wave of satisfaction washed over him. Who wouldn't relish such formidable power? He patted his pocket and mused,

"It seems I'm in for another expense. My already modest family finances are about to take another hit."

Following the death of the previous Sect Master, the sect's valuables had been looted by the disciples. Chen Feng had spent the previous night searching and had only managed to find ten taels of silver. While ten taels could sustain a commoner for three months, it was hardly enough for a Cultivator, whose practice consumed wealth voraciously.

"It looks like I need to start making money, or I'll starve!"

...

"Ding! System upgrade complete!"

"The host's talent is truly astonishing. To think he condensed Jianxin and grasped Sword Intent in the Body Refining Stage."

The system's voice carried with it a sense of incredulity.

"This system can talk, just like a human."

"The Almighty of the Universe created me. Speaking is a trivial matter. Please don't imagine me to be so inferior; I am a supreme being!"

The system stated icily, devoid of emotion.

Chen Feng listened to the system's voice and was at a loss for words.

...

"Didn't you mention a lottery feature? I want to check that out first!"

Chen Feng suddenly remembered that upon condensing his Jianxin, the lottery system was unlocked, and he quickly prompted the system to open it.

"Considering that the host is new to this world and not yet fully acquainted with it, I can offer some explanations," the system offered.

"To comprehend Sword Intent, one must first master the sword force, which then evolves into Sword Intent."

"To condense Jianxin is to embark on one of the three thousand Great Daos. As long as you live, you can achieve sainthood in the Sword Dao."

The system's voice held a hint of awe as it continued.

"The system's purpose is to assist you. I've provided you with the Basic Sword Spell, and reaching Great Completion will allow you to condense Sword Intent. But this is not something just anyone can achieve. Host, you possess an extraordinary gift for the Sword Dao!"

"I'm well aware of that. Who do you think I am? I'm destined to be the sovereign of the Holy Profound Continent. If a simple Sword Intent amazes you, just wait for what's to come!"

"Let's open up this new lottery feature first. I want to see what treasures await."

Chen Feng was brimming with confidence as he pressed the system.

"The host's thick skin is truly astonishing," the system remarked, yet it proceeded to activate the lottery.

"Congratulations, host, on unlocking the lottery feature. You've been awarded one free draw. Each basic draw costs 100 points and can yield anything from across the myriad worlds. Would you like to proceed with the draw?"

Chen Feng gazed at the spinning lottery wheel before him, with its array of slots lined up for selection.

Mysterious Prize:

Marrow Cleansing Pill

Heaven-Shaking Four-God Array

Dugu Sword Technique

Heaven Cutting Finger

Dry General Sword

Sowing Beans to Become Soldiers

Wave-Like Subtle Step

...

"Holy crap, why does 'Thank You for Participating' take up half the wheel? You scam of a system!"

Chen Feng glared at the 'Thank You for Participating' section and couldn't help but swear. Damn it, with it taking up half the wheel, what's the point in even spinning?

"Why would I need you if it were easy to win? If it were easy, I could complete the mission after a few tries. Remember, the system is just an aid; everything else is up to you."

The system remained indifferent to Chen Feng's frustration.

"Fine, fine, you have an excuse for everything. Let's just spin the wheel, shall we?"

Chen Feng eyed the cultivation techniques on the roulette. The mysterious prize was the smallest section, but he'd be happy to land on that, or even the Heaven Cutting Finger or Dugu Sword Technique—anything but 'Thank You for Participating'.

"Initiating the lottery wheel, deducting 100 points."

Chen Feng watched his points drop from 100 back to zero, then glanced at the items in the system. He knew he needed to earn more points in the future.

"Host, don't even think about it. If you were to win these items, it would be too easy. Just hope you don't end up with 'Thank You for Participating'!"

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

"The Dugu Sword Technique is gone, and so is the Heaven Cutting Finger."

Chen Feng's heart sank. He closed his eyes and sent up a silent prayer, hoping for the Buddha's and the Jade Emperor's blessings.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for drawing the mysterious prize!"

The system's voice rang in Chen Feng's ears, startling him.

"What? A mysterious prize? Show me, quick!"

"What could possibly come from the mysterious prize?"

Buddha, Jade Emperor, Great Monarch, thank you for your blessings. I will surely honor you in the future.

"Anything can emerge from it. The mysterious prize is essentially the pinnacle of existence; the world is full of wonders."

"Well, then open it already!"

"Congratulations, Host, for unlocking the mysterious prize. You have obtained the Sect Master's Exclusive Cultivation Method, the Chaos Myriad World Sutra (Exclusive to Chen Feng)!"

Chen Feng laid eyes on the Chaos Myriad World Sutra and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, this is incredible!"

"Your luck is truly remarkable, host. To draw the Chaos Myriad World Sutra, the most formidable cultivation method in this world, is no small feat!"

"And why shouldn't I be lucky? After all, I'm destined to be the sovereign of the universe. A bit of fortune is to be expected. You don't think those 10 points of Predestined Blessing are just for laughs, do you?" Chen Feng gloated, his heart bursting with joy at having acquired the Chaos Myriad World Sutra.

[Detection of the Chaos Myriad World Sutra confirmed. Would you like to commence learning?]

"Learn, learn, learn!"

A torrent of profound knowledge flooded into Chen Feng's mind, nearly overwhelming him with its intensity. It was excruciating. Whoever devised this method of inheritance must have been out for vengeance—a blatant act of retaliation.

Eventually, the pain eased, and Chen Feng, now lying in bed, began to peruse the details of the Chaos Myriad World Sutra. If it weren't as potent as claimed, he'd dismantle the system without hesitation.

Cultivation Method: Chaos Myriad World Sutra

Level: Unknown

Attribute: The fusion of myriad Great Daos into one being, signifying supreme fortune and freedom.

As an Exclusive Cultivation Method reserved for the sect master, the Chaos Myriad World Sutra is comprised of nine volumes. The first volume focuses on the Body Refining Stage, aiming for the pinnacle of the Body Refining Extreme Stage. Each volume corresponds to a different level, with the potential to reach the Extreme Stage. However, achieving the Extreme Stage is a rarity, let alone in every realm.

Chen Feng marveled at the brief yet impressive description of the Chaos Myriad World Sutra in his mind. The thought of refining all the Great Daos in a lifetime was almost too formidable to fathom.

"Don't get ahead of yourself, host. You still have missions to complete, or the system reserves the right to reclaim everything from you!" The system, noting Chen Feng's smug demeanor, doused his spirits with a reality check.

Chen Feng paid no mind to the system's warning and proceeded to check his attribute list.

Chen Feng sat cross-legged and began his cultivation with the first volume, guiding the spiritual energy through his body as described. His bones crackled, and he absorbed spiritual energy at a rate exceeding tenfold that of the Tendon Altering Marrow Cleansing Sutra, surpassing even the Holy Grade. The thought of reaching a divine level was almost too much for Chen Feng to fathom.

The system indicated the cultivation method's level as unknown, suggesting it might be beyond even the Holy Grade.

The body refining effects of the Chaos Myriad World Sutra were magnitudes greater than the Tendon Altering Marrow Cleansing Sutra. His body underwent another round of cleansing and tempering, the pain less intense than before.

After completing a full cycle, Chen Feng felt a surge of explosive power within him. He realized he could continue to temper his body with the first volume and that breaking through at the peak would not be too late. The prospect excited him.

"At this rate of cultivation, I estimate I could reach the peak in just a couple of days, and then I'll be ready to attempt a breakthrough into the Golden Core Stage."

Chen Feng was uncertain of his current strength level. The system had elevated him to the Body Refining Peak, and with the Marrow Cleansing Pill and the Tendon Altering Marrow Cleansing Sutra, he had achieved the Body Refining Extreme Stage. Now, embarking on the Chaos Myriad World Sutra, he wondered how it compared to the Golden Core Stage.

"How wonderful it would be to live as a free-spirited swordsman without the system's constraints, to wander through a world of myriad blossoms untouched and unburdened, truly free."

"Host, abandon your illusions. This continent is far from as straightforward as you imagine."

The system's icy voice doused Chen Feng with a figurative bucket of cold water.

"Scram, scram, scram. You irritate me every time you appear."
