Chapter 703: The Sword Intention in the Stone Knife
Life in the Beixuan Realm should have been relaxing, but as Yang Qian began to unravel the veins of the poisonous spiritual energy bit by bit, things became less pleasant.
This was not the first time that Yang Qian had felt the gloom hanging over his head.
The last time was more obvious than this time, which was the time when the Immortal Lord Xiong Li was assassinated in Qingtian City.
Xiong Li died, but Yang Qian discovered that Xiong Li's death had long been part of his destiny. This meant that his plotting against Xiong Li and killing him was not a coincidence or a random encounter, but something that had been arranged long ago, including the outcome.
This feeling doesn't make people feel comfortable. It makes you feel like a puppet, and you don't even notice the strings tied to your body.
I always feel that everything I do seems to be out of my control, even the thoughts in my mind.
The more you think about it, the more terrifying it becomes.
Just like this time, the golden eyeball obviously had an extraordinary origin, but it happened to fall into the Northern Xuan Realm, happened to be in the Wanli Bamboo Sea of Shuangqing Prefecture, happened to be embedded under the Dharma Tower of the Zhao family, and happened to be found by Yang Qian because of Yang Juan's reminder.
The most important thing is that Yang Qian, this anomaly, happened to be traveling through the Northern Xuan Realm.
It would be outrageous if so many coincidences were put together and we really regarded them as coincidences.
Yang Qian finally figured it out. Everything that seemed to be happening according to the rules and circumstances might have been deliberately guided by someone.
As for where to guide?
Yang Qian felt that perhaps it should be like what his master Huang Ji Tian said, he was the one who was destined to suffer the calamity, and he needed to complete the end of the great calamity of destiny. Whether he was willing or not, the people and things around him would push him forward.
"My dear, this stone knife looks a little scary. Is it also something from the fairy world?"
While Yang Qian was absent-minded, his wife Fang Yuan came into the study to change his tea. She happened to see Yang Qian sitting on a chair, playing with a simple and even rough stone short knife. Fang Yuan felt a piercing discomfort in her soul. She felt uncomfortable even after just one glance at it. She even felt as if she was being stabbed by countless knives while staying in the study.
Fang Yuan is no longer an ordinary person who knows nothing. She already has the momentum to move forward. If she keeps drinking that kind of magic tea, she should be able to break through the Qi training stage and enter the Core Forming stage in about a year at most.
Now Fang Yuan's experience shows that the things her husband brings out are no longer considered as treasures of the cultivation world. Everything he brings out is an immortal product. After all, her husband is an immortal.
Yang Qian smiled and said, "Yes, it's a strange knife from the fairy world. It's very interesting."
Fang Yuan wanted to talk to Yang Qian, but the smell of the knife made her feel uncomfortable, so she put down her tea and turned away, thinking that she would talk to her husband at night.
Seeing Fang Yuan's expression when she left, Yang Qian actually guessed that she had something to worry about. He could even guess what it was. It was nothing more than the old-fashioned matter of Yang Shanwu and Yang Juan's marriage.
Yang Qian had already refused this. If Yang Shanwu really had the ability to kidnap Yang Juan, then of course he could, but if he didn't have the ability, then he shouldn't even think about it.
In fact, Yang Shanwu himself had no romantic feelings for Yang Juan. The former "Sister Juanzi" was now a cold fairy who kept strangers away, and Yang Shanwu didn't like such cold people.
All of this was just Fang Yuan's wishful thinking. She was attracted by Yang Juan's talent and wanted to have a fairy wife in the future. So she hoped that Yang Qian would intervene.
Yang Qian understood what this woman was thinking, but he didn't want to add fuel to the fire because Yang Shanwu and Yang Juan were totally incompatible.
His son was not worthy of Yang Juan. After his wife left, Yang Qian put his mind back on the stone knife in front of him.
The stone knife consists of two parts: the scabbard and the blade.
The scabbard is made of a mixture of various refining materials, which is neither gold nor jade. It is in the style of a short sword and is very gorgeous, covered with carvings and magic patterns.
But the purpose of the scabbard is to confine the blade. During the confinement period, the surging sword intent hidden in the blade will not be released at will. And the pattern on the scabbard also has some meaning to tell the origin of this blade.
According to Yang Qian's understanding, the pattern on the scabbard can be summed up in two sentences: it makes the knife powerful and unrivaled; the maker gathered all the sword spirit he had cultivated throughout his life and put it into the stone knife.
As for who the creator is, there is no way of knowing.
The blade of the stone knife is even more interesting, and it makes Yang Qian feel that it was specially tailor-made for him.
Different from the swords in the sword domain that require comprehension and passing levels to increase the sword intent, this stone knife is not fancy, but emphasizes that as long as you are capable enough, you can get whatever you want.
Zeng Sanming had just touched the handle of the stone knife before, and the knife's intention inside had pierced his soul, causing him to jump up from his chair in severe pain. If he hadn't let go in time, he would have suffered internal injuries, and it wouldn't be surprising if he had even hurt his soul.
Yang Qian was not as bad as Zeng Sanming, but if he was not careful, the knife's intent in the stone knife could also severely damage his soul.
According to the normal way, Yang Qian needs to try little by little while using his own sword intent to resist while comprehending the sword intent in the stone knife. This should also be the original intention of making this stone knife.
But Yang Qian never tried to comprehend it. After he figured out the method of the stone knife, he kept it.
Comprehend the sword intent? It's not the kind of test-like way to obtain it in the sword domain. No matter how strong or sharp the stone knife is, it is still a dead object, and the way to transmit the sword intent is extremely simple and crude. This gives Yang Qian an opportunity to use the experience panel.
Thinking back to when he was still working in Jizhou Prefecture, Yang Qian received a broken sword when he first came into contact with the fragments of a magical weapon. At that time, he directly used the experience panel to absorb all the remaining sword intent in the broken sword into his own body, directly avoiding all the comprehension process. The result was no different from what Yang Qian later did when he slowly comprehended in the sword domain.
This is the amazing thing about the experience panel.
He did not deliberately go into seclusion. Yang Qian could now receive a prompt on the experience panel as soon as he held the hilt of the knife.
[A large amount of residual sword intent was discovered. Do you want to absorb it? ]
There was no need to consume experience points. The effect was similar to Yang Qian swallowing a pill that increased his power. They both skipped the process and went straight to the result.
"absorb."
As soon as he thought about it, the sword intent that was originally very stable on the stone knife immediately opened up like a dam bursting. The sword intent inside went crazy along Yang Qian's right hand and drilled directly into his body.
Originally, this method of infusion would cost Yang Qian his life, but the moment the sword intent entered his body, it was dismembered by a magical force, and then turned into pure sword intent and truth, which flowed into Yang Qian's own sword intent and his sea of consciousness.
