The Hedonist Sword God

Chapter 231: Sword Intent

Looking at what had been revealed when the gates opened, the excitement everyone possessed to enter it disappeared in an instant and was replaced by the question of should they still pass through the gates.

Given how scary the dark always was, no one really wanted to step into that pitch-black entrance.

Well, the truth was that no one wanted to be the first one who'd enter.

...

"So that is... "

"Yes, husband. This is the entrance to the Sword World."

Not wasting any second since Juewang had already confirmed that the black void did lead to the Sword World, he flew straight towards it while passing the surprised False Immortal experts on the way.

Without bothering to stop and observe the gates which were still gold in colour, Jian Shen entered the black portal to disappear behind it.

Passing through what looked like a thick layer of something black, Jian Shen realized that the black colour visible from the outside wasn't anything physical at all.

Instead, it was actually the absence of light which was causing the space to remain unilluminated.

Thus, once Jian Shen passed through the gates himself, he turned invisible to the outside world due to having been transported away instantly.

Either way, after almost an hour since Jian Shen stepped through the gates, the others also brought up their courage and stepped through them because the Sword World would only remain open for only nine days.

Once the nine days were over, no matter what they were doing inside the Sword World, they'd instantly be kicked out and sent back to the Mortal Realm.

...

The Sword World... It was normal?

Looking around, Jian Shen who was the first one to enter it found everything the same as it looked in the outside world.

Plain grass fields which went as far as the eyes could see, trees every here and there, small lakes and ponds in the distance, and some beasts walking around as well.

Even the concentration of Qi in the air, the presence of Intents of Heaven and Earth all felt very similar to how it felt on the Sword Island.

If there was any one thing which stood out, it was the presence of high-level resources growing as if they were cabbages due to no humans having entered here in the past five hundred years.

Still, the beasts themselves were eating these herbs whenever they felt like instead of eating the fruits which the trees around them had growing on them.

Chuckling at how even he didn't do such a thing, Jian Shen felt that this was more because there wasn't anyone who actually knew how to cook using the precious herbs and not because he was short on herbs.

"You are too excited, Jian Shen. Your expectations are clouding your judgement."

Hearing those words, Jian Shen took a long breath to calm down and then realize what it was that he had failed to realize.

In his surroundings, what Jian Shen could sense the most was the presence of Sword Qi and Intent of Sword which usually couldn't be sensed anywhere else due.

Despite Sword Qi around him trying to constantly pierce through his skin, Jian Shen had failed to notice it until now due to how excited he was.

Smiling bitterly at how he as a sword cultivator had lost his calm so easily, Jian Shen made sure to make a mental note on keeping his emotions more in check from here onwards.

Controlling the Sword Qi inside himself, Jian Shen found out that the Sword Qi around him was much higher in quality due to which he would grow stronger by improving his own Sword Qi.

Similarly, since Jian Shen had managed to achieve Sword Arm with both of his arms, being able to comprehend and improve his Sword Qi to the same level around him should be much more easier.

Especially given the fact that comprehending the Intent of Sword would allow him to control Sword Qi so much more easily.

Therefore, Jian Shen felt very eager to find the Sword Spirits which were supposed to be present everywhere in the Sword World.

Looking around, Jian Shen who only saw beasts close to him decided to fly forward in hopes of meeting his first Sword Spirit.

Honestly, it didn't take before Jian Shen managed to find a Sword Spirit.

Or a sword to be exact, because the sword would only reveal its Sword Spirit when someone approached it.

Thus, Jian Shen flew straight towards the red sword which was stuck in the huge rock below it.

Once Jian Shen chose to approach it, the sword began trembling before red smoke came from out of it and out of the smoke came a red-haired male while holding a sword made of burning flames in his hand.

"This is a Sword Spirit."

Not stopping his flight downwards, Jian Shen who approached the red-haired man immediately brandished the two swords placed near his waist.

Using the Myriad God Sword to defend against the blazing sword in the Sword Spirit's hand, Jian Shen used the Sword if Despair to slash at its waist and split the man who didn't have any blood into him into two.

Turning into two huge clouds of red smoke, the two clouds turned into one as they finally began revealing the same sword which Jian Shen had seen before it had turned into the shape of a human.
