Major City. Peaceful Life.
After the parting with my disciple ,I headed towards one of the Eight Major Cities of the Long Continent. Canglan City. After walking towards the gate ,I notice that you must have a certain strength to enter the city. Apparently you can't enter if you're under Battle Warrior Rank. Huh. That's new. Oh well ,guess I'll just use the strength of a Rank-5 Martial Artist to enter.
---------------------------------------------------
After entering ,I found an inn to stay at and train. I haven't quite found my way to Dao Warrior Realm other than trying to condense the Yellow Intent. I try to swing my sword but I can't get the XP bar to go over the limit. I'm stuck at 99% of it. I can only think of the Intent.
---------------------------------------------------------
After meditating for a month ,I'm starting to comprehend the Yellow Intent. Even with this mat ,Yellow Intent is too hard to comprehend. After being stuck in this inn for a month ,I decided to go out for a walk. On that walk ,I encountered a sword genius with a potential of eleven. Yes ,I've still been looking for disciples after parting from my first one. The rewards are just too enticing. After a few rounds of discussion and a small clash ,the young genius became my disciple and I learned of his name. He was called Shen Tong. He wasn't as scrawny as the orphan Yan Shi was ,he had some muscle. He was a level 42 Martial Artist. Already Rank-4 as you would expect of everyone in this city. I mean I even had to prove my strength before entering. After showing him my true strength and teaching him about my values ,I started training him ,while also trying to comprehend the Yellow Intent.
-----------------------------------------------------------
After another two months of peaceful training. I finally comprehended the Rank-1 Yellow Intent. After levelling up my Defense Branch Skill ,I started to try and swing my sword. I felt my Yellow Intent flowing throughout my sword and body ,as if they were the same thing. I swung my sword and felt a tingling sensation. I swung a few more times and started feeling excited. After tens of swings I started to feel the Essence of the Dao. After a hundred swings ,I immersed myself into the Intent Of Steadiness and the Dao Of Endurance. After a thousand swings ,I broke through into level 100 ,Finally reaching the Dao Warrior Realm. Surprisingly my Rank also advanced to the Dao Warrior Rank. Immediately after breaking through ,my Yellow Intent surged and also broke through to Rank-2 Yellow Intent after resonating with the Essence and Dao.
-------------------------------------------------------------
After breaking through ,I realized that being steady isn't ferociously swinging my sword every day. No. Steady is maintaining the same low-key ,monotonous routine. Even if it bores you to death. Endurance isn't pushing yourself to the limits. No. It's walking forward at your own pace for however long it takes. No matter what ,staying steady will help you endure and enduring will teach you how to be steady. They support each other in the journey of stableness and fortitude. After thinking about this deeply and submerging myself in the endless journey of Steadiness and Endurance ,I broke through to Rank-4 Yellow Intent. Shen Tong's rewards have also helped. He reached Level 60 recently and Yan Shi has also grown to level 82. The rewards from Shen Tong have allowed me to strengthen my Intent Pavilion. It currently only has two levels right now ,but I have made those two have an inseparable connection. Yan Shi's Rank-8 reward gave him a Dao Warrior Cultivation Technique.
