One Sword Swing (1)

"I trust the sword I wield and I still think the same Grand Elder, I don't consider any guidance necessary, the path ahead for my sword is still clear"

As Mu Chen said that Gao Wenyan suddenly started to frown and even disappointment and rage became apparent

"This is just arrogance and ignorance! All your talent has blinded you! A sword shouldn't be blind like this!"

Mu Chen looked at him and with a sigh Mu Chen just commented without even trying to calm his rage, he purposefully increased his rage with his blatant words

"You are just trying to paste your opinions on me Grand Elder, I'm the one using the sword myself, I know whether my sword is blind or not, then please exc-"

"Wait! I have seen many talents fall because of this same ignorance! I can't let you fall on the same path! Just one slash! Swing me one slash from your sword and I will be judging what you are!"

Gao Wenyan's eyes were filled with immense flames, hearing this everyone was shocked to see a Grand Elder go so far for Mu Chen but Mu Chen just grinned in his heart

'Of course you will go so far! Since the first day of recruitment, Gao Wenyan has sensed my talent and here if anyone cares more for anything other than cultivation is reputation,

Gao Wenyan thought I will become his disciple because he is also Sword Cultivator he has been keeping an eye on inside the Holyland and since I started making trips to all Grand Elders he has been in edge with excitement and now when I'm at his doorsteps I just decided to return back

Why won't this old man be frustrated and surprised and if he's like this why won't I suck more Villain Points from him hahahaha!!!'

Mu Chen smirked and next just nodded and next suddenly all his emotions went completely neutral and he stated

"Okay since the Grand Elder cares about me so much, I understand but a sword without meaning won't be meaningful... How about this Grand Elder, if my swing proves my worth you need to grant me access to your best collection of sword techniques"

"Agreed!"

Mu Chen had manipulated the emotions of Gao Wenyan so much with his cold uninterested facial expressions and intentional tone of his voice and words that Gao Wenyan didn't think twice before granting Mu Chen the permission

Mu Chen couldn't control the grin on his face this time as he slowly took the sword out of his sheath again as he looked at his shining sword with light smile on his face

'Infinite Sword Heart, a peak level talent for swords, just by staring at leaf falling from trees can give me insights and enlightenment that's why unlike others who go through every shit to reach that level I didn't even need to think before

Until I was in Mortal World and my Sword Intent was below 10th Later I didn't need to struggle at the least, since the day I acquired the Absolute Sword Intent my mind unconsciously keeps decoding secrets of sword on it's own

But after reaching 10th layer I started to feel a little wall but at same moment I also acquired the talent of Infinite Star Devouring Arts and Celestial Art of Eternal Ascension

The ability to passively increases my mastery over everything without even doing anything, combined with my Infinite Sword Heart the efficiency has literally doubled

And after absorbing so many souls of various people who lived whole life with swords, the amount of insights and enlightenments about swords I have been suppressing till now are just absurd, within 5000 years I managed to reach 10th layer of Absolute Sword Intent

Why do you even think that after 20,000 years along with Celestial Art of Eternal Ascension I won't be able to progress even 1 layer of my Sword Intent...'

Mu Chen scoffed in his heart and next moment opened his mouth while closing off his eyes as an incredible amount of insights covered in his consciousness and the overwhelming Sword Intent his body

"In the realm where swords unfold

My spirit, fierce and bold

Layers of intent, a symphony untold

Each step forward, my destiny behold!!!"

As Mu Chen said that he slowly waved his arm into backward stance but the sword intent covering his sword seem to have reached a whole new heights

[Absolute Sword Intent has risen to 11th Layer!]

[Transcendent Presence has been added to Sword Intent!]

The mere sword intent coming from Mu Chen's sword completely overwhelmed the whole place, Gao Wenyan himself was left absolutely stunned and even he felt pressure inside his own heart and sword as he watched Mu Chen, Mu Chen's very presence was demanding respect from everyone watching his sword intent

But just then the eyes of disciples and elders gathered there widened

"H-he is still ongoing!?"

"Rather! How is his sword intent getting stronger than this!?!"

"Th-this 11th! No he is on his way to the 12th!"

"What the heck!?!"
