With Rank 5 Battle Intent, Qin Chu's Aura and Qi were different from before. Previously, his Sword Intent was powerful, giving people a sharp feeling. Now, with Rank 5 Battle Intent erupting, his entire being exuded an oppressive Aura.
After taking a Bigu Pill, Qin Chu began to refine his Battle Intent using the Sword Intent of Heavenly Sword Mountain. He was somewhat fatigued, and his Origin Qi Cultivation was also about to Breakthrough, but his Battle Intent had to be stabilized first.
Once his Battle Intent was stable, Qin Chu stood up and left the Sword Intent-raging area. He knew that attempting to Breakthrough to Rank 7 Sword Intent now would be difficult, and he would encounter the same problem as last time: insufficient body strength to support the manifestation of Sword Intent. His Body Cultivator Cultivation had to keep up. He felt it was better to Breakthrough his Origin Qi Cultivation first, which would significantly increase his combat power.
Within each major Rank for Cultivators, there are nine Ranks. The first three Ranks are Early Stage, the middle three Ranks are Middle Stage, and the last three Ranks are Late Stage. Therefore, Qin Chu's Breakthrough from the Rank 3 Heavenly Origin Realm to Rank 4 Heavenly Origin Realm was a leap from the Early Stage to the Middle Stage of the Heavenly Origin Realm.
After leaving Heavenly Sword Mountain, Qin Chu returned to Cloud Inn and greeted Lang Lang in his courtyard.
He then returned to his own courtyard. Lang Lang was currently enjoying himself immensely, so Qin Chu didn't chat much with him before returning to his own courtyard.
As soon as Qin Chu returned to his courtyard, Lang Lang came over and told Qin Chu about the current world situation.
"Two Rank 7 Venerable Realm cultivators?" Qin Chu's face was filled with surprise.
"That's right. Other news has also spread. Do you know why the Azure Dragon Holy Clan has never fought externally? Because their Clan Chief is a Martial Saint Enforcer. The identity of a Martial Saint Enforcer is very special; only Cultivators above Rank 7 can hold it. He also cannot actively participate in power struggles. This is also why the Azure Dragon Holy Clan can only defend and counterattack. If it weren't for this, the Black Tortoise Holy Clan would be doomed," Lang Lang said to Qin Chu.
Qin Chu was greatly shocked, because his father-in-law was actually a Rank 7 Venerable Realm expert.
"Isn't that shocking? Now the White Tiger Holy Clan has been declared rebellious by the Martial Saint Enforcer. They cannot show their faces; if they appear, they will be attacked," Lang Lang said, looking at Qin Chu.
"Martial Saint Enforcer, there's actually such a thing. It seems Martial Saint Continent has rules!" Qin Chu said.
"According to the current situation, the Rank 7 Venerable Realm is the Martial Saint Enforcer, because in the past, no Rank 7 Venerable Realm had ever appeared in power struggles," Lang Lang said.
Qin Chu rubbed his forehead, "Then where did the two Rank 7 Venerable Realm experts who appeared with the White Tiger Holy Clan come from? Why haven't I heard of them before?"
"They are not from Martial Saint Continent; they are from other places." Gan Lingwu pushed open the door to the courtyard and entered. She had first gone to the Alchemist Guild, where she learned from Chu Shan that Qin Chu was at Cloud Inn, so she rushed over.
"People from where?" Qin Chu asked after inviting Gan Lingwu to sit down.
After sitting down, Gan Lingwu told Qin Chu that after the great battle in Martial Saint City, she had received some news from her Master, Granny Zhushan. The land they stood on was Martial Saint Continent, but Martial Saint Continent was only a part of this world. The entire continent was called Seven Martial Continent, and Martial Saint Continent was just one of the seven. Those who attacked Martial Saint City with the White Tiger Holy Clan were from other continents, very likely Cultivators from Nether Martial Continent!
"Seven Martial Continent, Holy Clan Continent is just one of its territories..." Qin Chu was a little confused.
"The origin of the White Tiger Holy Clan is Nether Martial Continent. Their attack on the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan back then was planned; it was to strike at the strength of our Holy Clan Continent. As for what role the Blazing Thunder Holy Clan and Black Tortoise Holy Clan played, that's hard to say, because the origin of the Black Tortoise Holy Clan is also not Martial Saint Continent," Gan Lingwu said.
"So that's how it is. Now the situation is in chaos." Qin Chu felt that the matter was very serious. Involving Rank 7 Venerables meant that very few people could solve the problem. Rank 6 King Realm was very powerful, but it was incomparable to Rank 7 Venerable Realm. Not to mention anything else, just Qin Longhan, at the Half-step Venerable Realm, he alone held off three Rank 6 King Realm experts, including the White Tiger Holy Clan Chief Shang Tianhua.
"Previously, these matters would never have been spread. Now the situation is chaotic, and the Martial Saint Enforcer's restrictions on this news are not as strict, which is why I heard about it from my Master," Gan Lingwu said to Qin Chu.
"I still need to hurry up and Cultivate, otherwise I won't even have the qualifications to be a pawn," Qin Chu sighed.
Gan Lingwu nodded, "The situation is indeed very bad now. Don't be targeted by the other side. You must be careful."
"I understand. But Sister Lingwu, why did you come over?" Qin Chu asked, looking at Gan Lingwu.
"Nothing in particular, I just came to see you. Your Cultivation has improved very well," Gan Lingwu said, looking at Qin Chu.
Qin Chu suggested going to the tavern for a drink, and Gan Lingwu and Lang Lang both agreed.
"Lang Lang, aren't you calling that girl of yours?" Qin Chu asked, looking at Lang Lang.
"Why mention her? She doesn't hang out with us," Lang Lang said.
"Haha! As long as you can hang out together, that's fine," Qin Chu said with a smile.
"Qin Chu, that's just a product of boredom, don't think too much about it," Lang Lang said with a smile.
As the three chatted, they arrived at the tavern in Heavenly Sword City and ordered some wine and meat.
Everyone had been feeling quite suppressed recently, so they chatted while drinking.
While the three were drinking, a middle-aged man in a gray robe entered the tavern.
Seeing the middle-aged man, Qin Chu stood up and bowed.
"Senior, would you like to sit with us?" Qin Chu said. This person was an acquaintance of Qin Chu, the Heavenly Sword Su Mu.
Su Mu nodded at Qin Chu and sat down, "You've come to Heavenly Sword City to Cultivate Sword Intent?"
"Yes, while Cultivating Origin Qi, I'm also Cultivating Sword Intent. Brother Lang, Sister Lingwu, this is Senior Su, the Heavenly Sword." Qin Chu introduced Su Mu to Lang Lang and Gan Lingwu.
Lang Lang and Gan Lingwu both cupped their fists to Su Mu; they all knew of the Heavenly Sword Su Mu.
"The world is not very safe lately, don't run around recklessly. This Venerable will be in Heavenly Sword City recently and will not let Heavenly Sword City fall into chaos," Su Mu said to Qin Chu.
After a round of drinks, everyone parted ways. Gan Lingwu also rented a small courtyard at Cloud Inn before coming to Qin Chu's courtyard.
"Qin Chu, that Su Mu might also be one of the Martial Saint Enforcers. He came here to maintain the stability of Heavenly Sword City, as Heavenly Sword City is also an important city on Martial Saint Continent," Gan Lingwu said to Qin Chu after arriving at his courtyard.
Qin Chu slapped his forehead. He felt that he lacked consideration in many matters. If Su Mu didn't have strength, could he have suppressed the White Tiger Holy Clan and the Blazing Thunder Holy Clan outside Heavenly Sword Mountain at that time? He was a formidable character!
