Although Qi Qingqing was confident in her own strength, she couldn't act rashly. She learned about everyone around Qin Chu and knew that Qin Lingxi, who was currently with Qin Chu, and Qingyi, who had been with Qin Chu a few days ago, were both powerful.
There was another reason why Qi Qingqing didn't get too close: she couldn't expose too much of herself. Currently, only Qin Chu and Qin Lingxi were near the Level Seven Sword Intent Stele area. If she got too close, she would definitely be noticed by Qin Chu and Qin Lingxi, as there weren't many Sword Cultivators who could Cultivate Level Six Sword Intent. Once she attracted their attention, it would be inconvenient for her to act later.
Qin Lingxi was refining her Sword Intent, preparing to assault Level Seven Sword Intent, while Qin Chu was refining his Level Five Perfection Battle Intent.
As Qin Chu released his Battle Intent, the Sword Intent within Heavenly Sword Mountain began to suppress him fiercely.
What is Battle Intent? It is the belief in combat within one's heart. If the belief is not broken, there is nothing that cannot be fought!
Where there is suppression, there is an explosion. Under the impact of Heavenly Sword Mountain's Sword Intent, Qin Chu's Battle Intent erupted. After contracting and rebounding twice, it directly broke through the critical point of Level Five Battle Intent, becoming Level Six Battle Intent.
When Qin Chu's Level Six Battle Intent burst forth, Heavenly Sword Mountain's Level Six Sword Intent became ineffective against him. The Battle Intent radiating from Qin Chu directly forced back the Sword Intent released by Heavenly Sword Mountain.
Qin Lingxi opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with shock, surprised that her nephew's Battle Intent had been Cultivated to such a profound level.
Qin Chu turned to look at Qin Lingxi, "I apologize for disturbing you, Aunt!"
"No... no disturbance!" Qin Lingxi was stunned by the current situation. She had never seen a Cultivator achieve such success in Cultivating Battle Intent.
At this moment, Qin Chu walked towards the Level Seven Sword Intent Stele area. With his Battle Intent having broken through, he could now Cultivate in the Level Seven Sword Intent area.
Just as Qin Lingxi was about to call out to Qin Chu, the Concept around him changed. In addition to the erupting Level Six Battle Intent, Sword Intent also burst forth—Level Seven Sword Intent!
Bearing Level Six Battle Intent and Level Seven Sword Intent, Qin Chu stepped into the Level Seven Sword Intent area.
"Level Six Battle Intent, Level Seven Sword Intent, Big Brother, Sister-in-law, your child is truly outstanding." Qin Lingxi could no longer Cultivate, mainly because her emotions were too agitated.
After entering the Level Seven Sword Intent area for a short distance, Qin Chu sat down cross-legged and began refining his Battle Intent and Sword Intent.
Not only was Qin Lingxi shocked, but Qi Qingqing, who was observing everything from afar, was also extremely shocked. Given Qin Chu's age, either Level Six Battle Intent or Level Seven Sword Intent, if revealed, would astound everyone in the world. Regardless of age, how many Cultivators spend their entire lives and still can't touch this Realm?
"Not only is his Bloodline powerful, but his Comprehension Ability and talent are also astonishing. I will claim your descendant." Qi Qingqing's eyes were filled with excitement. She knew she had found a treasure, and she would absolutely not let go.
After stabilizing her emotions, Qin Lingxi also began to Cultivate. In the past twenty years, she had truly wasted too much time, but fortunately, it was not too late.
Staying in the Level Seven Sword Intent area, Qin Chu consumed a Medicinal Pill, took out his Flame Spirit Stones, and began his comprehensive Cultivation.
When the two Flame Spirit Stones were used up, Qin Chu moved forward a bit and then began the second wave of Cultivation.
Time passed quickly. By the time Qin Chu had stabilized his Level Six Battle Intent and his Level Seven Sword Intent had been refined a bit, a month had also passed.
Standing up and stretching, Qin Chu exited the Level Seven Sword Intent area.
As Qin Chu came out, Qin Lingxi also stood up. In a month, she had also gained considerable benefits.
"Qin Chu, Aunt wants to treat you to a drink. You've Cultivated both Sword Intent and Battle Intent to such a level, we should celebrate properly," Qin Lingxi said.
Qin Chu nodded. He was indeed very happy that his Battle Intent had broken through to Level Six.
Qin Chu and Qin Lingxi exited the Level Six Sword Intent area. In the Level Five Sword Intent area, Qin Chu saw Qi Qingqing.
After glancing at Qi Qingqing, Qin Chu and Qin Lingxi left the Sword Intent impact area.
Noticing Qin Lingxi and Qin Chu leaving, Qi Qingqing stood up. She had withdrawn from the Level Six Sword Intent area, mainly because she didn't want to appear too conspicuous.
After some thought, Qi Qingqing also left Heavenly Sword Mountain. She had come for the great Opportunity of Heavenly Sword Mountain. She had entered it but didn't get the chance. She didn't understand why she couldn't get the Opportunity, but she could understand that if the Sword Emperor's Legacy was easy to obtain, it would have been gone long ago.
Qin Chu and Qin Lingxi celebrated a bit before returning to the Vermilion Bird Sacred Clan's stronghold.
At the stronghold, Qin Chu saw Shang Shuyu and Granny Yu.
"I just asked Uncle Qingyi, and he said you went to Heavenly Sword Mountain for a month and would be back soon," Shang Shuyu said to Qin Chu.
"We left in a hurry and didn't say goodbye to you," Qin Chu said.
After sitting down and chatting, Shang Shuyu told Qin Chu that a master from the Nether Martial Continent had appeared, defeated a Saint Martial Enforcer, and then disappeared.
"Who was it? Was it the White Tiger Emperor Shang Ruoyu?" Qin Chu asked.
"No, it was a man. Plus that Qi Qingqing who threatened you, several of their powerful individuals have already arrived," Shang Shuyu said.
Qin Chu frowned, "If their powerful individuals infiltrate and wage war like this, aren't we, the Saint Martial Continent, at a disadvantage?"
"Although they have come to the Saint Martial Continent, they won't act too excessively, because if they cause trouble, our Saint Martial Continent's Saint Martial Enforcers can also cause trouble in the Nether Martial Continent," Granny Yu said.
Qin Chu rubbed his forehead, "Never mind, we can't manage these things."
After having dinner together, Qin Lingxi kept Shang Shuyu and Granny Yu, and the three of them talked and chatted while Qin Chu returned to his room to Cultivate.
While Cultivating in the middle of the night, the Vermilion Bird Stone in Qin Chu's hand began to change. Cracks appeared on its outer shell, accompanied by cracking sounds.
The cracks became more and more severe, eventually splitting open completely, revealing a fiery red egg inside.
As Qin Chu observed, a protrusion appeared on the egg, and then the protrusion cracked open. A small fiery red bird emerged from within, then with a leap, it jumped onto Qin Chu, who was sitting cross-legged.
Qin Chu understood. What Vermilion Bird Stone? It was a bird's egg, but it was encased in a layer of fire-attribute crystal-like insulation. With the nourishment of the Vermilion Bird Fire, this bird's egg hatched. Vermilion Bird? Three words appeared in Qin Chu's mind.
Normally, birds that have just hatched are relatively weak, but the little bird on Qin Chu was not. When Qin Chu reached out to grab it, it jumped around, from Qin Chu's leg to his shoulder, from his left shoulder to his right shoulder.
After playing for a while, the little bird jumped off Qin Chu and ate all the eggshell and stone fragments.
The little bird, having eaten the eggshell and stone fragments, became full of energy. It lifted its head and let out a relatively tender cry.
Qin Chu held out his hand, and the little bird directly jumped onto Qin Chu's palm.
"You're very well-behaved. It's not in vain that I nourished you with Vermilion Bird Sacred Fire for over a year," Qin Chu sighed, as he had put in a lot of effort for the birth of this little bird.
