Chapter 177
Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors
I contemplated visiting Jangryeong Valley, but decided against it. It didn’t seem like anything significant would happen since both the Three Masters of Thunder God Lineage and Mangnyang were heading there. In the entire world, there were very few people who could mess with them unless they were the Master of the White Lotus Sect. Plus, Mangnyang had previously stated that there was no need for him to come looking for me, so I opted to just sit tight and relax.
‘What could Sword Intention be?’
For several days, I pondered that thought while occasionally playing with Miho.
Sword Intention!
It referred to one of the highest realms in swordsmanship, alongside Mind Control Sword Technique. It was said to transcend the mere concentration and projection of Qi, creating a momentum that looked like a star cluster. Sword Intention was rumored to hold power on a different level than sword energy or sword flames.
However, none of the masters I had encountered could use Sword Intention as easily as breathing. The likes of Hobak or Lee Kwang sometimes used it within their techniques, but that was only possible because those energies were fused from maximum sublimation within their skills. For someone like me, using Sword Intention forcibly through brute internal power was fundamentally impossible.
Moreover, Lee Kwang hadn’t confidently explained the method or essence behind casting Sword Intention. Until now, he had always kept me from enlightenment, but it felt different regarding Sword Intention. Even Sword Demon or Jin So-cheong couldn’t give me a proper explanation either. There was no doubt that Sword Intention required a study that was on a different dimension altogether.
So, while I was sitting in the valley chatting with Miho, I brought up Sword Intention.
