Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

As soon as Chu Yunfan stepped into the outer forest, he felt a comfortable sensation throughout his body, and his mood inexplicably improved.

It turned out that the concentration of spiritual energy in the outer forest was much higher than that in the outer valley, roughly equivalent to the valley where he had previously discovered the Transformation Fruit.

For cultivators, the higher the concentration of spiritual energy in the world, the more comfortable their bodies will feel.

Moreover, a high concentration of spiritual energy in the world has another major advantage: it helps with the growth of cultivation.

Even if a cultivator at the initial stage of martial arts cannot absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for cultivation, being in an area with a high concentration of spiritual energy for a long time will subtly influence their body, making them naturally stronger.

"This is the place where cultivators should truly live!"

Chu Yunfan took a deep breath and sighed softly.

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang in Chu Yunfan's ears.

"Given your current situation, you will soon be able to break through to the Martial Master realm and become an inner disciple."

The environment inside is much better than here; there's no need to envy it.

Before Chu Yunfan could react, he found himself in an unfamiliar wooden house.

Then the figure of the Fifth Elder appeared before him.

"Disciple Chu Yunfan greets Fifth Elder!"

Chu Yunfan immediately bowed.

The Fifth Elder nodded slightly and asked:

"What brings you to this old man?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan immediately voiced his doubts.

After listening, the Fifth Elder did not answer directly, but instead asked:

"Although you have comprehended the sword intent of wind, do you know what the sword intent of wind is?"

Upon hearing the Fifth Elder's question, Chu Yunfan was taken aback, and then, to his absurd surprise, he realized that he did not know the answer.

All he knew was that after he had perfected the first move of the Gale Sword Technique—the Wind Rises Sword—he suddenly comprehended the sword intent of wind.

So Chu Yunfan honestly shook his head, then stared at the Fifth Elder, waiting for him to explain.

Seeing this, the Fifth Elder explained:

"In fact, many people are like you, they have grasped the artistic conception, but do not know what artistic conception is."

Such people share a common characteristic.

That is, they did not comprehend the artistic conception through their own perception.

Rather, it's because certain powerful techniques or martial arts skills contain profound meanings or concepts, which they comprehend during their cultivation by drawing upon these techniques and skills.

At this point, the Fifth Elder glanced at Chu Yunfan.

Upon seeing this, Chu Yunfan immediately nodded.

Then, the Fifth Elder asked Chu Yunfan another question.

"Do you know what the essence of the sword intent of wind truly is?"

This question was almost identical to the previous one, leaving Chu Yunfan somewhat bewildered.

Left with no other choice, they could only continue to keep an eye on the Fifth Elder.

The Fifth Elder wasn't angry; he simply explained:

"The so-called sword intent of wind, in the final analysis, still belongs to the realm of wind."

The sword is merely a vessel for conveying the essence of wind.

It can also be the intent of a sword in the wind, or the intent of a spear in the wind.

Do you understand now?

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yunfan suddenly realized what was going on.

"So that's where the problem lies!"

I had always thought that the sword intent of wind was sword intent, which led me astray.

But in reality, the essence of the sword intent of wind is wind.

Since the wind can accelerate the sword, it can naturally also accelerate my body.

Last night, I just happened to apply the sword intent of wind to myself, treating myself as a sword to wield, which is why my speed suddenly increased.

The ridiculous thing is, all this morning I spent transforming into an Iron-Winged Eagle, charging around with a sword gripped in its talons—it was utterly hilarious!

After figuring out the problem that had been troubling him, Chu Yunfan suddenly felt a sense of clarity and his mood brightened.

He immediately bowed to the Fifth Elder in gratitude.

"Thank you for your explanation, Fifth Elder. I am deeply grateful!"

Seeing Chu Yunfan's reaction, the Fifth Elder nodded in satisfaction.

"I only gave you a little guidance, but you were able to grasp the key to the problem so quickly. It's all thanks to you. There's no need to thank me."

Upon hearing the Fifth Elder's reply, Chu Yunfan bowed again and then took his leave.

"I have finished my business, so I will not disturb Fifth Elder's continued cultivation any longer!"

After saying that, Chu Yunfan prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, the Fifth Elder spoke up:

"Among the outer sect, no one can surpass the Grand Elder in understanding the essence of wind."

If you have time, you can consult the Grand Elder; you will surely gain a lot.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan's eyes lit up, and he once again bowed respectfully to the Fifth Elder.

"Thank you for your guidance, Fifth Elder."

However, this is my first time visiting this outer sect forest. I wonder where the Grand Elder resides?

After Chu Yunfan finished speaking, he waited for the Fifth Elder's reply.

However, instead of receiving a reply from the Fifth Elder, he was instead transported away by an invisible force.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Yunfan found himself in front of a quiet bamboo grove courtyard.

However, the figure in the courtyard was not the Grand Elder, but a stunningly beautiful young woman dressed in a white training uniform.

The girl's face was exquisite, every inch of her skin seemed to be sculpted, and she was so beautiful that it was pleasing to the eye.

Her long, black hair was tied back, giving her a capable and dashing appearance.

Her slender figure, encased in her workout clothes, appeared curvaceous and shapely, perfectly proportioned with the right amount of slimness in the right places and ample curves in the right areas.

However, just as Chu Yunfan was admiring the girl's beautiful figure, a long sword appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye, thrusting straight at him.

And this sword strike was actually launched by the girl from earlier.

"So fast!"

Chu Yunfan sighed inwardly, then stretched out two fingers of his right hand and pinched the tip of the sword in front of him.

Seeing this, the girl moved her delicate hand and prepared to draw the tip of her sword to continue her attack.

However, Chu Yunfan's strength has now reached a terrifying 60,000 kilograms after the Lin family's growth over this period. He is strong enough to fight against a mid-stage second-tier demon beast. His strength is unimaginable.

Therefore, the woman's action of drawing her sword was completely meaningless.

This startled her, and she instinctively looked at Chu Yunfan.

At this moment, Chu Yunfan spoke up:

"Why did this junior sister suddenly attack me?"

Upon hearing this, the woman snorted.

"Hmph! You're the one who suddenly barged into my territory and spied on me, yet you still have the nerve to ask such a question? How can you be so shameless?"

Hearing the woman's answer, Chu Yunfan was taken aback for a moment, then asked:

"Your territory? Isn't this the Grand Elder's residence?"

Upon hearing this, the woman let out another cold snort.

“Isn’t my grandfather’s residence my territory?”

If you want to peek at me, just say so. You have the nerve to come up with such a lame excuse.

I have the utmost contempt for hypocrites like you!
