Chapter 619 A Cloud Boat Arrives from the Eastern Sea (Part 2)
Lie Qian did not trust Li Cang. Even though Li Cang was once a prodigy of the East Sea Sword Palace and had been expelled from the ranks, and had proven his worth in countless bloody battles, Lie Qian still considered him an outsider.

These sword cultivators always have some ridiculous principles in their hearts, and they always insist on something out of place.

As the Tao Te Ching says, "The highest good is like water, which does not contend but contends with the world."

These sword cultivators never understood that only by being indifferent to everything and caring about nothing can they ultimately protect what they care about.

Lie Qian will still trust Li Cang's sword, which is about three feet long. Although it is made of stubborn iron, it has long been extraordinary after years of tempering with sword energy.

A sword light stirred up a long wind, meeting the sword energy slashing down from above.

"Li Cang of Donghai, I would like to learn from your swordsmanship, esteemed brother."

That dazzling sword light was like a star in the sky, stirring up layers of wind and waves, disturbing the long clouds in the sky and making them curl and sway.

"It is indeed a fine sword."

Su Che sat upright on the cloud, holding the nameless iron sword given to him by Kong Kong'er in his hand.

Below, a sword cultivator at the Core Formation level made a move, but Su Che didn't take it to heart.

When it comes to swordsmanship, Young Master Su has never worried about anything; what he truly cares about is the iron sword in his hand.

Kongkong'er's decision to have him wield this sword against the enemy was indeed significant, as this iron sword contained an extremely unique sword intent.

This sword intent was lofty and unparalleled, so much so that Su Che, in his current state, could only bow down in reverence.

It is almost a "model" that can modify the sword intent used by Su Che in one go, and then transform it into a sword aura that looks like the bright moon and slashes down.

To be honest, the strict rules and ingenious structure of this Bright Moon Sword Qi were truly breathtaking for Su Che.

For example, if Su Che's original sword energy power was about ten, after the sword energy was "enhanced" and "modified" by this iron sword, the power increased by 50% and became fifteen.

This is simply a miracle that appeared out of nowhere.

Although it is absurd to insist on "strict rules" and "mysterious structure" for sword energy, this longsword has achieved this, and it is even constantly guiding Su Che's sword energy to change according to its angle.

Li Cang stepped forward with his sword, his body and sword becoming one, transforming into a dazzling sword rainbow, constantly challenging and impacting the moon-like sword energy above his head.

As a swordsman who frequently engages in duels on the East Sea, Li Cang doesn't hold his opponents in high regard.

First of all, the sword energy itself, although strong enough, is completely devoid of sword intent and lacks any variation.

It's like a giant with immense power, but ridiculously, it has no head.

Another problem is that it's not pure enough.

Although Li Cang's sword energy was dazzling, its sword intent contained an unyielding and proud spirit. It was under this pride that the sword energy possessed that invincible essence.

Unfortunately, the opponent's sword energy does not currently possess this essence.

In Li Cang's opinion, the first sword strike that stopped the cloud boat by the Rejuvenation Ghost Cultivator in front of him was quite interesting.

Although it carried the chilling aura of endless demons and ghosts, it still had a pure feeling to it. The murderous intent that was about to strike was not entirely out of character for a sword cultivator.

Then, the sword energy, as bright as the moon, was powerful enough, but it was like a brute swinging a sledgehammer, not worth commenting on at all.

The former is a delicate side dish, while the latter is just a filling steamed bun.

"Sigh, I say, if you stop here, then it's no fun." Li Cang's longsword had completely disappeared under the impetus of sword energy, turning into a dazzling meteor that danced wildly around him. Although this white-robed swordsman's long face was not very pleasing, his sword dance in the air at this moment had a somewhat ethereal and otherworldly feel.

However, the only response he received was another unchanging beam of moonlight sword energy.

"Your mother."

Li Cang cursed angrily, unleashing his sword energy, and the two clashed again in mid-air.

Su Che did not answer, but focused his mind on the iron sword in his hand.

Moreover, this time, the method of "investigating things" was used to slowly measure the internal structure of this iron sword with sword intent.

The more I observe, the more surprised I become.

Although the iron sword in his hand still belongs to the category of swords, its internal form has changed under the control of the sword intent swirling within it. Countless fine lines have appeared inside, and these lines have recombine and condensed into shapes that resemble talismans.

When did sword cultivators acquire such supernatural abilities?
In Su Che's memory, the changes pursued by sword cultivators on the East Sea were changes in sword techniques and the ever-changing sword intent, but not like this...

This does resemble a sword formation.

With a keen intuition and a sudden burst of insight, Su Che finally understood what the longsword in his hand was all about.

Those intricate patterns formed traces resembling talismans, ultimately condensing into a supernatural power similar to an array.

That exquisite and lofty sword intent itself became the key to triggering all of this.

Using swords as a formation is not unusual, but to integrate a sword formation into a single longsword requires considerable skill.

It truly possesses the wondrous power of heaven and earth, and the unfathomable might of ghosts and gods.

As a newcomer, Su Che naturally used this precious sword as a teaching tool. As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words, and this sword before him was undoubtedly a treasure for sword cultivators, because the ideas it embodied were exactly what Su Che needed most at the moment.

How to use sword intent to activate the laws.

The reason why sword cultivators are sword cultivators is that this path, in the end, has a clear exclusivity.

Apart from the sword, there is nothing else.

The various laws that other cultivators use to transcend, whether they are yin and yang, movement and stillness, life and death, are not ladders for sword cultivators to transcend, but rather shackles that bind them.

From this perspective, before the elixir is restored, sword cultivators could still coexist harmoniously with other sects.

However, once one reaches the Core Formation stage, or even the higher Void Step stage, sword cultivators must further pursue their own "purity." The result of this purity is to discard all other laws from the Dao Foundation and forge one's own sword embryo.

However, this longsword showed Su Che the possibility of coexistence.

Using sword intent as the foundation, one can influence and command other laws, making them work for one's own purposes.

This ability to operate in parallel without conflict is exactly what Su Che needs right now.

If he continues down this path, Su Che could use it to break free from the shackles of the Ruomu Seed and advance his cultivation to the Huan Dan realm.

The secret lies hidden within that moon-like sword energy.

Su Che was immersed in the sword, completely forgetting himself and the world around him. At this moment, only his sword intent was searching for an opportunity to resonate with the various mysterious laws of heaven and earth.
