Chapter 124.1: Four Years of Bitter Cultivation, At Last Reaching the Thousand Cauldrons Stage! (I)

Heaven and Earth Wind Intent: Progress 1%.

When Lu Changsheng saw the new Intent on the status panel, he knew he had comprehended a brand-new Intent once again. This new Intent was an extremely terrifying and powerful one.

Between heaven and earth, wind was everywhere. In fact, whether strong or weak, it was present at every single moment. In essence, wind was made by the continuous alternation of hot and cold air currents.

When those hot and cold air currents became strong enough, they would transform into gales. Then, gales would become storms, becoming a destructive natural disaster.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng clearly remembered that fierce winds and wuthering waves complemented each other. If these two Intents could be unleashed together, they could give rise to effects far beyond expectation.

Lu Changsheng was still immersed in this marvelous sensation. With the Wind Sense Intent as a foundation, he could deepen his comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Wind Intent.

The progress of this new Intent rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.

One percent, two percent, three percent, four percent, five percent...

A strong gust of wind swept over. The vast grasslands rippled as countless sabers of grass swayed wildly, some snapping outright under the force of the wind.

Upon seeing that, Lu Changsheng's progress of Heaven and Earth Wind Intent skyrocketed at once. This was precisely the benefit of learning from nature. As long as he could see it with his own eyes, he would definitely gain some insight, and it was all thanks to his Perception

Lu Changsheng strolled across the grasslands. Amidst the strong winds, he seemed to feel as though he possessed boundless strength. It was as if only within the wind could his power be fully unleashed.

"If I fuse the Heaven and Earth Wind Intent into my saber techniques, my saber will become faster, and it will carry the force of the wind itself," he murmured.

In theory, wind could make a saber move faster. Once something was pushed to a sufficiently high speed, its destructive power would surely be devastating.

Whoosh.

The next moment, Lu Changsheng's figure flashed and vanished without a trace. The Heaven and Earth Wind hastened his saber and amplified his movement technique as well. In the past, his speed had been respectable, but never exceptional. At the very least, he was slower than Tian Xin.

Now, that was no longer the case. Thanks to the Heaven and Earth Wind Intent, Lu Changsheng's speed soared to a terrifying level.

To the southeast, ten li away, a northern barbarian squad was moving across the grassland.

"Stay alert. Dao Shi'er may appear on the battlefield."

"If you spot him, flee immediately or seek help. Perhaps Sheng Yuanyi is nearby, and hopefully he gets there in time!"

The northern barbarians reminded each other. They all knew that Sheng Yuanyi was searching for Dao Shi'er on the battlefield.

If they truly encountered Dao Shi'er, then if they were lucky, Sheng Yuanyi could arrive in time to rescue them. Of course, the chances of that happening were small. After all, the grasslands were simply too vast.

Swoosh!

A gentle breeze blew past them. The northern barbarians did not feel anything about the breeze. On the grasslands, there were often winds. Who would pay attention to it?

"Wait, that's..." Someone felt that something was amiss, and they asked, "Why is there a crimson glow within the breeze?"

The crimson glow traversed a very long distance, far exceeding ten zhang!

It seemed to merge into the wind, and it swept across the members of the northern barbarian squad. The crimson saber light contained terrifying power, and it swept across them at breakneck speed. How could they possibly resist it? Even Divine Strength martial artists could not withstand such a strike.

Almost in an instant, the northern barbarians were dead. Their heads were all severed.

Lu Changsheng rushed over. Just now, he had actually unleashed the Blood Saber from a very distant location. It was equivalent to projecting blood qi. Any projection of blood qi would result in blood qi consumption, even for Divine Strength martial artists.

Naturally, the greater the distance, the greater the consumption. However, he had fused the Blood Saber into the wind itself, and it rode the wind, greatly reducing the consumption of blood qi.

Therefore, even from such a distance, the attack still carried around eighty percent of his full power. More importantly, it was too fast.

By the time his enemies sensed it, the saber had already swept across them. It was truly frightening! With the Heaven and Earth Wind Intent augmenting it, the power of Lu Changsheng's saber techniques rose, even though his progress remained at five percent.

"I've got to continue." Lu Changsheng continued his hunt. As he activated the Heaven and Earth Wind Intent in battle, he discovered that the Intent itself was steadily progressing alongside his kills, and the rate of growth was remarkable.

Boom!

After wiping out several more squads, his progress rose to ten percent. Upon reaching that level, the enhancement it granted to his saber techniques became immediately apparent. His strikes grew faster and more powerful.

At this point, Lu Changsheng now had four distinct Intents. The Wind Sense Intent offered little direct support to combat power, but the remaining three Intents emphasized a different aspect, which all boosted his combat power.

The Wave Intent supported him in prolonged combat, providing sustained momentum and endurance. The Starry Sky Waterfall Intent focused on explosive power and instantaneous bursts. The Heaven and Earth Wind Intent emphasized speed and accelerating his saber techniques.

When combined, these three Intents complement one another perfectly. For instance, a saber technique driven by the Starry Sky Waterfall Intent already possessed overwhelming explosive force. If the Heaven and Earth Wind Intent were layered on top of it, the saber could move speedily before unleashing that explosive burst of power, resulting in a truly horrifying attack.

Then, the Wave Intent would sustain it, allowing Lu Changsheng to keep dishing out such attacks one after another.

The three Intents complement each other, so none of them can be missing. Once all three Intents are brought together, I may be able to fight Tian Xin.
