Chapter 65: Sword Intent Like a Rainbow

  At first, when Bai Qi was in Taohua Town, Zhu Que wanted to live with him. Bai Qi felt that it wasn't quite right. However, his personality was carefree and uninhibited, he wouldn't spend time researching Zhu Que's intentions. Otherwise, he would have spent his whole life calculating and scheming.

  Later, Zhu Jue caught up with him and traveled together, making a solemn oath not to harm each other. At this time, Bai Qi simply traveled together, anyway going to Huangshi City to surrender, having a companion was not bad either. What problem did Zhu Jue have, it was also something that happened several years later.

  But today is different, this Zhu Jiao is about to become an inner disciple, and he has ulterior motives towards himself. Once he becomes an inner disciple, it will be difficult for him to get rid of him.

  With a slight probe, Bai Qi had made up his mind to kill. His temperament was such that once he made a decision, he would carry it out. So after making up his mind, Bai Qi didn't think about the matter anymore and simply practiced his sword skills on his own.

  He was practicing the Rain-Covering Sword, and several true disciples in the distance looked at him with disdain. This Qingyuanzi, after all, had been a disciple for too short a time, his cultivation level was high, but his swordsmanship was so unimpressive.

  Bai Qi exerted his full strength to wield the sword, but it was only a crude and superficial sword technique. The Yu Rain Sword itself is considered a top-notch sword technique, but the true transmission is in Qing Cheng's hands, and Bai Qi learned only the most superficial part.

  The way of swordsmanship, in the hands of a cultivator, can control swords within a range of ten zhang, which is merely the entry level. The entry-level sword-controlling technique only has a stronger killing power compared to ordinary martial arts.

  Next is the sword like wind, making the heavy sword or sword device become agile and effortless, coming and going like the wind, light as if nothing.

  Such swordsmanship is no longer an opponent for ordinary people.

  Next is the transformation of the sword into a rainbow, with the sword pellet or sword instrument under the control of the cultivator, suddenly appearing hundreds of miles away and cutting people like grass.

  After transforming into a rainbow, it is the realm of beheading gods. The swordsmanship of beheading gods, even if there is no sword pellet or sword instrument in hand, as long as the sword intent comes out, can also hurt people's yin spirit.

  After beheading the gods, it is the great completion of the sword fetus, and the cultivation of one's own unique sword intent begins.

  At this stage, the sword cultivator's control of the sword has a unique style. In later stages, there are also Sword Qi Thunder Sound, Separation of Light and Shadow, Sword Soul Condensing Silk, and Breaking Calamity to Become Immortal.

  Therefore, there is the sword repair school, which does not condense the golden elixir, but only cultivates swordsmanship. Because this swordsmanship cultivation ultimately relies on a single sword intent to pass through the heavenly tribulation and achieve immortality.

  Bai Qi practiced the Rain Sword, but it was clear that he had only reached the realm of wielding his sword like the wind. This level of skill, even if the sword technique itself was exquisite, would not be intimidating to a cultivator who practices internal energy. Only when one reaches the realm of transforming their sword into a rainbow can they be considered a true master of the sword. If the sword's attributes are strong enough, at this point, an internal energy practitioner could already slay ghosts and gods.

  Is your sword as gentle as the wind?

  Those true disciples, even if they weren't specialized in swordsmanship, had reached the level of Huan Hong. Otherwise, how could they be called true disciples? So when Bai Qi wielded his sword like the wind and unleashed the Yu Rain Sword, these true disciples all laughed.

  The disciple of Zǐ Méi Zhēn Rén can only wield a sword like the wind.

  Bai Qi didn't care about others' ridicule. His realm was indeed unable to transform into a rainbow, and his swordsmanship had been cultivated for too short a time. However, his sword intent had already completely hidden itself, unknown to anyone.

  That was the intent of the Lü Xian Sword. After seeing the nameless sword energy at the broken end of the Ni Lin Gun, Bai Qi had already gained the ability to control the Lü Xian Sword Intent. He now recalled his mother unfolding the painting scroll and killing those Daoist priests. A ray of sword light flew out, annihilating all immortals and demons.

  When his mother was dying, she had cast a spell to erase this memory, fearing it would affect Bai Qi's future cultivation. However, after Bai Qi's divine consciousness had been repeatedly tempered by the nameless sword energy, the Sword Intent of the Exterminating Immortal could no longer harm him in the slightest. That memory then awakened, and the complete Sword Intent floated into his mind.

  The crescent moon sword transformed into a three-zhang-sized sphere, warm and gentle, with a hint of misty water vapor, which was the sword intent of the Rain-Covering Sword.

  A bright moon shines in the sky

  A thousand rivers flow with bitter rain

  Bai Qi suddenly burst into a spring thunder, outside that one wheel of bright moon, the sword intent was like rain, suddenly transformed into thousands of strands, sprinkling towards the ground. Each strand of rain, was the transformation of sword intent. At this moment, even the two-story building Hong Yu was startled.

  Bai Qi suddenly broke through the boundary of "Sword as Wind", transforming his sword intent into a rainbow.

  To know, the Rain Sword Art he learned didn't have the incantation of Hua Hong. The incantations after Hua Hong were all in the hands of Qing Cheng Sect. This was a realm that Bai Qi cultivated himself. Relying on a set of shallow sword incantations and a top-grade treasure sword, the Sword Maru, he created his own Hua Hong sword intent.

  Bai Qi raised his head, opened his mouth, and the three-zhang distant moon was swallowed into his abdomen, entering the lower dantian.

  In the lower dantian, a cyan golden breath surged in, and in that moon wheel, it condensed into the second sword fetus symbol seed.

  In this talisman seed, there is the intention of the Xianjian sword, and also the nameless sword intention that cuts off the inverted scales gun.

  "It's really... a genius." Lou Hongyu saw this scene and admired Zimei Zhenren. The two greatest wishes of the Qi Refining Master were to attain immortality and pass on his teachings.

  Zi Mei Zhen Ren's three apprentices can all satisfy him!

  Those true disciples changed color, and Bai Qi's move made them fearful. Could it be that this kid was doing it on purpose, advancing in front of us?

  How could this be possible? Wu Feng was even more depressed. Originally thought to humiliate this ignorant guy, but unexpectedly this guy created a new sword technique in front of everyone.

  To know, Bai Qi himself had condensed a sword embryo of Yuè Rù symbol seed, the Over Rain Sword Technique was thoroughly changed.

  Bai Qi did not spit out the sword pellets again, but after the Moon Wheel Sword Pellet was implanted into the Sword Embryo Talisman Seed, it suddenly jumped to become a mid-grade law weapon, consecutively upgrading two levels. In the dantian, the cyan-golden aura continuously nourished the Moon Wheel Sword Pellets, and on top of the 24 sword pellets, a large number of metal slag had already overflowed. Those were the impurities of the sword pellets, which was due to the insufficient firing time when the predecessors refined the swords, so the Moon Wheel Sword Pellet was only an upper-grade treasure weapon.

  After this round of refinement, the impurities in the Moon Wheel Sword Pill were eliminated and re-condensed into a bright moon shape, with its power increased to that of a top-grade martial law.

  Bai Qi was overjoyed, and with that, the Moon Wheel Sword Pill could finally withstand his Six Yang Thunder Sword.

  However, the second sword fetus symbol seed that he condensed out was also very strange. He wasn't a sword cultivator, and his method of controlling flying swords wasn't by using his divine sense to control them. This sword fetus symbol seed could usually only condense into one type, and there weren't many Qi Refining Masters who wanted to cultivate a second type.

  A swordsmanship that requires a cultivator's lifetime of energy to perfect, who would have the leisure to think about a second swordsmanship. Only Zǐ Méi True Person, a naturally talented genius, not a sword cultivator, yet condensed four Sword Embryo Talisman seeds, proficient in four routes of swordsmanship.

  Bai Qi was just a cultivator in the initial stage of Xian Tian, yet he had two sword techniques by his side, which could be considered as a rare talent. If it were a sword cultivator, it wouldn't be anything special, for the strong Golden Dan cultivators among them could unleash a thousand swords at once, with unparalleled power.

  The Moon Wheel Sword Pill, after absorbing enough of the azure golden energy within the Golden Elixir, gradually became indistinct once more, as if shrouded by misty rain, with only a faint silver glow seeping out in threads.

  Fuyujian's swordsmanship has reached its limit, Bai Qi thought to himself. From now on, he would call this style of swordplay "Moonlit Rainy Night Sword". He had read many books, but didn't want to give his sword technique a high-sounding name.

  This month's night is bitter and rainy, the sword intent is lingering, with a shadow of the rain sword, but the real killer move is after the rain and fog, that shining in the sky is a bright moon.

  Several hours passed in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, Zhu saw Bai Qi break through the boundary of Sword Energy Transcendence, and his heart became even more tense.

  It's hard to kill Bai Qi now.

  The big ship flew to the lower reaches of the Chu River's Twelve Peaks, stopped, and Lou Hongyu didn't say anything, directly throwing these Yunmeng Sect disciples into the air.

  Not very high, twenty-odd zhang.

  Those Cloud Dream Sect disciples didn't panic either. Lou Hongyu's voice came from high above: "Go, I'll meet you halfway up the Chu River in half a year to bring you back."

  Bai Qi and Zi Hong stood on the ground, in front of them was the Chu River, still far from the estuary. However, near the sea, the King of Chu River did not dare to build a temple. There were dragons in the sea, he couldn't afford to provoke them.

  Those eight true disciples also ignored Bai Qi and Zi Hong, each leading their own people, dispersing in all directions.

  Bai Qi looked around and saw that no one was left, so he raised his head to look up at the sky. The huge emerald green flying boat had already disappeared. Only Zhu Que stood behind him, extremely respectful.

  "Let's go, Shifu."

  Zi Hong nodded, Ren Bai drove the water escape, wrapping her and Zhu Que in it, and jumped into the Chu River.

  In the Yangtze River, he unfolded his water escape technique, and his speed was ten times faster than flying in the sky. Along the way, he didn't encounter any monsters intercepting him from the Chu River either. The news that Yunmeng Sect was going to attack the Chu River had already spread out, so these monsters in the Chu River either returned to their nests to hide or moved away with their families, and were unwilling to guard the border for the King of Chu anymore.

  Bai Qi was only in the initial stage of his divine transformation, and his speed increased, but it was only slightly faster than those eight true disciples. After heading upwards for over a hundred miles, Bai Qi jumped onto the shore and pointed to a temple by the water, saying: "This Chu Wang Temple actually dares to move into Buddha's territory?"

  Zi Hong looked over and also discovered that the Chu Wang Temple was converted from a temple.

  "Let's go here." Bai Qi called out to his sister, bringing Zhu Ruo along, and setting up the Transcendence Light, they arrived in front of this temple.

  The temple leaned against the Chu River, and the ground was covered with broken rocks, some of which were desolate. The gate was open, and Bai Qi saw an old man sitting in the courtyard inside the gate, with white hair and his back to the gate. The front of the courtyard was a hall, where the statue of King Chu Jiang was worshipped.

  Bai Qi summoned Zhu Ruo and said: "Go and make a reconnaissance."

  Zhu Jian was taken aback, only to realize that his own identity made it difficult for him to harm Bai Qi. Bai Qi ordered him to probe the old man in the temple, and he had no way to resist. If he disobeyed orders, Bai Qi would turn against him, and he would be left with no place to die.

  "Yes, senior brother." Zhu Jian drew out his Qingfeng sword and walked towards that dilapidated temple.

  The sunset was like blood, the ground was icy cold. Zhu Que felt his heart beating faster with every step he took. The old man in the temple emitted an aura that terrified him.

  "You young people, just the few of you?" The old man suddenly spoke up, and Zhu felt the oppressive force that had been holding him back suddenly release. His vital energy, which he had managed to stabilize with great difficulty, dissipated all at once. The tip of his Qingfeng sword drooped downwards, almost touching the ground. He barely managed to grasp the hilt, his body swaying unsteadily.

  Bai Qi and Zi Hong exchanged a glance, this was a demon in the Hua Shen period, emitting an aura that was overwhelming, it seemed to have already condensed its yin spirit, appearing to be even stronger than Bai Qi and Zi Hong.
