C50 Blade Force Seed!
Not only was Zhang Yu skeptical about such matters, but it was likely that others would share his disbelief.
Even warriors who have dedicated years to relentless training might not grasp the Blade Intent. Yet, this group of Demonic Beasts had managed to do just that.
Moreover, these Demonic Beasts' spiritual intelligence didn't seem to be fully awakened. Thus, Zhang Yu remained unconvinced that they could understand the Blade Intent.
Qiao Mao, on the other hand, saw things differently. Upon his arrival, he sensed a mysterious aura surrounding the Demonic Beasts.
Specifically, this place served as the training ground for the Red Moon Blade Lord. It was here that the Red Moon Blade Lord honed his Blade Intent through combat with numerous Demonic Beasts.
The Red Moon Blade Lord engaged in relentless battles with the Demonic Beasts, pushing himself into perilous situations to unlock his body's latent potential. He seized these moments to refine his Blade Intent.
"The Red Moon Blade Lord truly lives up to his reputation as a Super Expert. To have comprehended the Blade Intent at such a young age is nothing short of impressive," Qiao Mao exclaimed in admiration.
It was the constant battles and frequent brushes with danger against the Demonic Beasts that greatly unleashed the Red Moon Blade Lord's inner potential, enabling him to overcome adversaries from South Sun County and Fire Crow Country.
However, this cultivation method carried extreme risks. A moment's inattention could result in being viciously torn apart by the Demonic Beasts, with dire consequences.
"When a person faces a matter of life and death, their potential is maximized," Qiao Mao mused, feeling the Blade Intent emanating from the Demonic Beasts, his eyes sparkling with intensity.
The Red Moon Blade Lord's comprehension of the Blade Intent was deepened through his lethal encounters with the Demonic Beasts, continuously advancing his mastery. Over time, these Demonic Beasts, through prolonged conflict with the Red Moon Blade Lord, gradually absorbed aspects of his Blade Intent.
This explained the formidable presence each Demonic Beast possessed.
For Qiao Mao and his companions, this presented an unparalleled opportunity. Engaging in combat with these Demonic Beasts could not only accelerate their cultivation but also aid them in understanding the Blade Intent.
Undoubtedly, they were standing in an immense field of Blade Intent.
Upon hearing Qiao Mao's explanation, both Zhang Yu and Jing Miaoshuang were astounded. It was hard to believe that someone would cultivate using such a perilous method.
"Qiao Mao, is everything you've said true?" Zhang Yu asked, his voice tinged with amazement. If so, the rewards of this venture could be immense.
The Martial Dao Concept was coveted by many masters. And here he was, in the midst of a vast Martial Dao Concept field, shaped by Blade Intent.
Such a notion was beyond the wildest dreams of others.
"It's highly probable," Qiao Mao said with a slight smile. "But your ability to grasp the Blade Intent depends on your innate talent. This field of Blade Intent can merely assist you."
With Qiao Mao's affirmation, Zhang Yu's excitement soared. This was an exceptional chance. Even a slight understanding of Blade Intent could greatly enhance his combat abilities and open up a world of possibilities for his future.
Jing Miaoshuang, too, was visibly thrilled. Without a moment's hesitation, she engaged in fierce combat with the Demonic Beasts around her.
Qiao Mao was equally determined. Despite having mastered Blade Intent in his previous life, he had to start anew. He was resolved to train diligently, his prior experiences serving only to quicken his reacquisition of the Blade Intent.
As the battle raged on, a formidable presence began to emanate from Qiao Mao, resonating with the aura of the Demonic Beasts.
With this presence established, Qiao Mao fought with increasing valor, resembling a finely honed battle blade.
"Have I really tapped into the blade force so swiftly?" Qiao Mao marveled at the growing strength of his aura, initially taken aback, then filled with elation.
Recomprehending the Blade Intent was no simple feat, even for someone with Qiao Mao's history. Yet now, his blade force surged like a relentless tidal wave.
Fully mastering the Blade Intent was a daunting challenge. The initial step was to gather the blade force, a hurdle at which many prodigies faltered, never managing to harness it.
Qiao Mao noticed that both Jing Miaoshuang and Zhang Yu had begun to manifest their own blade force, albeit less intensely than his own.
"It seems that this method of cultivation is indeed effective," Qiao Mao couldn't help but feel astonished. It's true that only a genius like the Red Moon Blade Lord could devise such an intense method of cultivation.
"I must seize this moment and attempt to forge the Blade Force into a Blade Intent Seed," Qiao Mao mused.
Understanding the Blade Force was merely the initial step. To fully cultivate the Blade Intent, he had to progress to the second step: forming the Blade Intent Seed from the Blade Force. The final step would be to transform it into the Blade Intent itself.
The second step proved even more challenging than the first. He had to crystallize the Blade Intent Seed within his body. Only with the formation of the Blade Intent Seed could he then shape the Blade Intent.
Once the Blade Intent Seed within him fully evolved into the Blade Intent, he would truly grasp the Martial Dao Concept, resulting in a tremendous surge in his strength.
Qiao Mao had already accomplished the first step. Despite the complexity of the second step, he managed to complete it swiftly, thanks to the insights from Qiao Mao's Previous Life.
With a stern cry from Qiao Mao, the Blade Force around him instantly coalesced, compressing like a dense sphere of energy. Eventually, it solidified into a Blade Intent Seed the size of a thumb, concealed within his body.
The Blade Intent Seed could be considered the wellspring of the Martial Dao Concept. It continuously radiated the strength of the Blade Force, making Qiao Mao resemble a formidable and sharp colossal blade.
At that moment, Qiao Mao sensed a sudden surge in his aura. It was as if boundless power was about to burst forth from the Blade Intent Seed.
The overwhelming Blade Force emanated from him, intimidating the surrounding area. The Demonic Beasts nearby sensed this Blade Intent and began to roar wildly, subsequently prostrating themselves on the ground.
"What's happening? Why are all these Demonic Beasts bowing down to Qiao Mao?" Zhang Yu and Jing Miaoshuang exclaimed in surprise. The Demonic Beasts they were battling began to shudder uncontrollably. Upon witnessing Qiao Mao, they behaved as if they were in the presence of the sovereign of Demonic Beasts, bowing down in reverence.
"He's successfully condensed the Blade Intent Seed!" Jing Miaoshuang gasped in amazement. Qiao Mao had managed to condense the Blade Intent Seed in such a brief span of time.
Under normal circumstances, even a Super Talent would require years of cultivation and accumulation to successfully condense a Blade Intent Seed. Yet, Qiao Mao managed to do so in an astonishingly short amount of time, leaving Jing Miaoshuang utterly amazed.
"What are you saying? Qiao Mao has condensed a Blade Intent Seed? That can't be possible!" Zhang Yu blurted out in disbelief. His eyes widened as he stared at Qiao Mao, as if he were looking at a creature from another world.
Jing Miaoshuang herself had begun to question her own judgment.
But the aura radiating from Qiao Mao was undeniable, and the sight of all the Demonic Beasts bowing before him was overwhelming. This spectacle was nearly identical to when the Red Moon Blade Lord had condensed his Blade Intent Seed.
The Red Moon Blade Lord had once understood the blade force and battled the Demonic Beasts in this very place. When he finally condensed the Blade Intent Seed within him, the scene was much like the present. Jing Miaoshuang's hunch was correct.
As Qiao Mao condensed the Blade Intent Seed, the Demonic Beasts mistook him for the Red Moon Blade Lord and immediately surrendered to him.
Now, Qiao Mao had astonishingly become the second Red Moon Blade Lord.
"This is beyond belief," thought both Jing Miaoshuang and Zhang Yu. Qiao Mao was incredibly formidable, achieving in mere hours what others couldn't in decades.
However, when Qiao Mao attempted the third step, his Blade Intent Seed showed no signs of change, which left him somewhat disheartened.
But this was to be expected. Others had spent their lifetimes trying to cultivate the Blade Intent Seed to no avail. It would be impossible to fully grasp the Blade Intent in just a few short hours.
Qiao Mao stood up, and at that moment, Zhang Yu and Jing Miaoshuang gazed at him as if he were a mythical beast. Feeling a bit embarrassed, Qiao Mao smiled and said, "Perhaps I went a bit overboard."
Yet, Jing Miaoshuang and Zhang Yu simultaneously declared, "You truly are an oddity."
Qiao Mao chuckled and extended his Divine Sense toward the two of them. Both were imbued with blade force, albeit not particularly strong.
Still, for them to have made such significant progress in so little time was indeed fortunate.
"It seems you've both grasped the concept of blade force. Let's not delay any further and head inside," Qiao Mao suggested.
Though the blade force emanating from them wasn't yet potent enough to form a Blade Intent Seed, it was far from weak. Remaining here would yield little benefit at this point.
Moving forward, they would need to deepen their understanding of blade force gradually to make any significant progress.
Moreover, they had been in this place for a considerable time. Qiao Mao was unaware of the events transpiring deeper within the Red Moon Secret Realm and felt a tinge of concern.
Zhang Yu and Jing Miaoshuang nodded emphatically. They were well aware that they hadn't reached the level of manifesting a Blade Intent Seed.
Nevertheless, they were lucky to have achieved so much already. Without the opportunity to explore the Demonic Beast Garden left by the Red Moon Blade Lord, it might have taken them much longer to grasp the essence of blade force.
"But the Nether Clan has vanished. How can we possibly catch up to them?" Jing Miaoshuang asked, her brow furrowed in concern.
Having delayed for several hours, they had completely lost track of the Nether Clan. Given the vastness of the Red Moon Secret Realm, finding them again seemed an insurmountable task.
Zhang Yu's expression mirrored her worry. "If we can't locate the Nether Clan and thwart their scheme, our venture to South Sun County will have been in vain," he lamented.
While the two were fraught with anxiety, Qiao Mao remained calm. He offered a reassuring smile and said, "There's no need for concern. I know where the Nether Clan has gone."
"You can find them?" they both inquired in unison, their curiosity piqued.
They were both mystified. Qiao Mao had been practicing Blade Intent alongside them without ever leaving. How could he possibly know the whereabouts of the Nether Clan?
