With the Lotus of Enlightenment in hand, his mind felt clear and his perception of the way of the sword immediately became extremely clear.
“It’s worthy of being the Enlightenment Lotus. I hope you won’t let me down.” Feeling the changes in himself, Yang Qi’s eyes lit up, and he swallowed the Enlightenment Lotus directly.
The Enlightenment Lotus melted in his mouth and turned into a stream of clear water. A strange feeling instantly swept through his limbs and his mind became extremely clear, as if the sword intent was flowing in the air, within reach.
“What a mysterious state.”
Yang Qi was shocked. It was rumored that after taking the Enlightenment Lotus, one could enter a state similar to sudden enlightenment. However, no one could tell what sudden enlightenment was, because enlightenment itself was only a matter of a moment.
Enlightenment can be achieved by chance but cannot be sought after. It cannot be obtained through external force.
"Hurry up and comprehend."
Yang Qi calmed his mind. The effect of taking the Enlightenment Lotus varied from person to person, and how much one could gain in the end also depended on the individual. Time was pressing, so naturally no time could be wasted.
Yang Qi had already decided on the direction of his enlightenment after taking the Enlightenment Lotus: to comprehend the sword intent!
The comprehension of artistic conception consumes the most time and energy. Many Nine-Star Martial Lords, and even Martial Lord Peak practitioners, have not been able to reach the level of perfect artistic conception. Perfect artistic conception is the basic condition for impacting the Martial King. If the artistic conception is not perfect, it is naturally impossible to impact the Martial King realm.
In comparison, the cultivation of Yuanli can be improved with the help of external forces and is not as urgent as artistic conception.
Yang Qi already had a profound understanding of sword intent, and he had also comprehended his own sword intent. As long as he didn't die, he could reach the level of great success in sword intent by practicing all the way. Now, with the help of the effect of the Enlightenment Lotus, the road to comprehending sword intent seemed to be a smooth road, and his understanding of sword intent was even deeper. Under the deduction and comprehension, Yang Qi's sword realm was rapidly improving.
As Yang Qi continued to comprehend, a tenacious and domineering sword intent surged from his body. This sword intent continued to rise, becoming more powerful and profound.
As time passed, Yang Qi was completely immersed in the comprehension of the artistic conception. Every moment, he gained a lot. This kind of harvest that usually takes several days or even dozens of days of hard practice can be understood in an instant. This instant can be equivalent to the effect of dozens of days of hard practice, making Yang Qi feel deeply trapped and unable to extricate himself.
"The effect of the Enlightenment Lotus is beginning to weaken!"
Yang Qi felt that the effect of his comprehension seemed to have faded, and he immediately realized that the effect of the Enlightenment Lotus was beginning to weaken.
"But the gains during this period are really great."
A gleam of brilliance flashed in Yang Qi's eyes. After this period of deduction and comprehension, his sword intent had improved significantly. Originally, his sword intent had far exceeded the minor success, but it was still some distance away from the major success. And now, his sword realm was not far from the major success.
"It's time to comprehend the Yuan Sword Canon."
Yang Qi reluctantly gave up on continuing to comprehend the sword intent. Although he was not far from the great success of the sword intent, it was impossible to use the enlightenment lotus to improve the sword intent to the great success. Since it was impossible to improve it to the great success, it was not meaningful to continue to comprehend it. On the contrary, Yang Qi had not even reached the initial success stage of the Yuan Sword Classic.
Although the effect of the Enlightenment Lotus began to fade, under the blessing of the Enlightenment Lotus, Yang Qi's deduction and comprehension were far better than usual. He had already reached the perfect level of the three basic sword techniques of the Yuan Sword Classic. Now, with the help of the effect of the Enlightenment Lotus, he was able to deduce and comprehend the three sword techniques and finally slowly comprehend the true Yuan Sword Classic.
By the time he had comprehended the Yuan Sword Classic, the effect of the Enlightenment Lotus had been weakened a lot. Although the effect was greatly reduced, Yang Qi did not waste it and continued to deduce and comprehend the Yuan Sword Classic.
The most difficult part of the Yuan Sword Classic is the practice after the initial success and the great success. The former is the foundation, while the latter is the existence of martial arts that surpass the level of Martial King. After the initial success, it becomes extremely easy to deduce and comprehend it.
"It's barely close to minor success, but the effect of the Enlightenment Lotus has completely disappeared."
Only when the effect of the Lotus of Enlightenment had completely worn off did Yang Qi end his retreat. Although his cultivation had not improved at all during this retreat, he had made huge gains in his sword realm and the Yuan Sword Classic, and his strength had increased significantly.
Yuan Jian Dian is a martial art. Although it also requires comprehension and deduction, it requires more actual combat and constant practice to unleash its true power. Although Yang Qi is only close to minor success now, as long as he continues to practice and improve, and puts it into actual combat, Yuan Jian Dian will soon be able to reach minor success!
Wow~
"Huh?" After removing the isolation formation, Yang Qi was slightly stunned. Not far away, a familiar figure in a red robe came into his sight.
The person outside the isolation formation was none other than Feng Yan, who had returned from Nirvana.
"Is this Feng Yan's true strength?"
Yang Qi's gaze fell on Feng Yan, but he found that Feng Yan's aura was restrained, and there was a feeling that she was completely unfathomable. He had seen this feeling in a strong man at the level of Martial King before!
"Have you recovered from your injuries?" Yang Qi asked subconsciously.
"He has recovered about 70% to 80%. He is no longer in danger. He will be able to fully recover after recuperating for a period of time." Feng Yan nodded slightly.
That strange blood itself was not used for healing. Although it had a healing effect during Nirvana, it was more of a transformation of the physical body. Therefore, although Feng Yan had completed Nirvana, her injuries were still not fully recovered. However, she was able to recover 70% to 80%, which obviously would not have any effect on Feng Yan.
"Thank you so much this time. If it weren't for your help, my injuries would not have recovered in such a short time, and I would not have been able to obtain the opportunity left by my ancestors." Feng Yan said with a little gratitude.
Following Feng Yan's words, the two of them fell into silence. In the past, both of them were practitioners at the Martial Honor Realm. Although Feng Yan's talent and potential were stronger than Yang Qi's, they were still of the same generation. But now, Feng Yan was a strong man at the Martial King Realm, and the patriarch of the Phoenix Clan, the top clan among the monsters. Regardless of her identity, strength, or status, she was far from being comparable to Yang Qi, a mere two-star Martial Honor.
After a long silence, Feng Yan finally spoke, "You already know my identity?"
"Senior Xuan accidentally let the cat out of the bag." Yang Qi sold the black turtle without hesitation.
"Actually, I didn't hide it on purpose..." Feng Yan was about to explain.
"I understand. I don't have secrets either, but at least I can feel that you treat me as a true friend, and that's enough." Yang Qi said with a calm smile.
The most important thing about friendship is to be open-hearted. As long as the other person truly regards you as a friend, that is enough!
Phew~
Hearing this, Feng Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As the head of the Phoenix Clan, she had never thought that she would come to Zichen Continent in such a miserable state. A friend in need is a friend indeed. She naturally didn't want to lose a friend like Yang Qi who she met in times of trouble. (To be continued)
