490: Chapter 490 Comprehending the Intent of the Annihilation Spear!
"And this is just the Outer Court's Spear Mountain, so how terrifying must the Inner Court's Spear Mountain be?"
Qin Yan couldn't help but let his mind wander.
The Outer Court's Spear Mountain was already so astonishing; the Inner Court's Spear Mountain would surely be even more terrifying.
Those Inner Court Disciples were each a Prodigy among Prodigies.
The Spear Intent they comprehended started at Third-Grade at the very least, and some even reached second-grade or first grade.
Just thinking about such a scene filled him with anticipation.
Immediately after, he walked toward the Spear Mountain.
As he walked, Qin Yan could see all sorts of small rooms across the entire mountain peak.
These rooms were built into the mountain in an orderly yet scattered fashion; some were at the foot, some on the mountainside, and others near the summit.
Every room had its door tightly shut, with a faint light flickering on them—the light of a Seal.
And those strands of pervading Spear Intent were emanating from within these rooms.
The closer he got to the summit, the more powerful the surrounding Spear Intent Aura became!
The rooms at the foot of the mountain mostly emitted sixth-grade or seventh-grade Spear Intent; though sharp, they were still within an acceptable range.
By the time he reached the mountainside, the Spear Intent became fourth-grade and fifth-grade, which already made him feel pressure.
By the time he neared the summit, the Spear Intent's Aura forced him to circulate his Cultivation Technique to resist it.
There were even many Spear Intents whose power was faintly on par with his Destructions End Spear Intent.
Those were likely the cream of the crop among fourth-grade Spear Intents.
A small portion even surpassed the power of his Destructions End Spear Intent.
This meant those Spear Intents had reached the level of Third-Grade!
Third-Grade Spear Intent—it was an existence of the Upper Three Grades.
Spear Intent grades ranged from ninth-grade to first grade, with ninth-grade being the weakest and first grade the strongest.
Among them, ninth-grade to seventh-grade were the Lower Three Grades, sixth-grade to fourth-grade were the Middle Three Grades, and Third-Grade to first grade were the Upper Three Grades.
The gap between each grade was massive.
His Destructions End Spear Intent was ranked fourth-grade, belonging to the peak of the Middle Three Grades.
It provided a 2.8-fold increase to his Blood Qi.
Meanwhile, a Third-Grade Spear Intent could reach a 3.2-fold increase for Blood Qi, a full 0.4 times more.
Don't underestimate this 0.4-fold; when Blood Qi reaches over a million, this 0.4 times is a gap of hundreds of thousands of units.
A second-grade Spear Intent could provide a 3.6-fold increase.
A first grade Spear Intent reached a terrifying 4-fold increase.
As for Supreme-grade Spear Intent, it reached a terrifying 5-fold increase!
5-fold—this meant that if you had 200,000 Blood Qi, a Supreme-grade Spear Intent would allow you to erupt with a power of 1,000,000 units.
This kind of increase was already beyond common sense, even enough to allow a Sixth-Rank Martial Artist to challenge a Seventh-Grade Grandmaster across Realms!
This was why many Prodigies, while in the Sixth-Rank Martial Artist Realm, would rather not undergo a Breakthrough to Seventh-Grade Grandmaster for a long time just to try and condense a Supreme-Grade Intent.
Supreme-Grade Intent was the watershed that distinguished a Prodigy from a Prodigy!
Only those who could condense a Supreme-Grade Intent were qualified to be called a true Prodigy.
Those who couldn't, no matter how high their talent or how many resources they had, could only be considered a Prodigy.
Prodigies are common, but Prodigies are rare.
Qin Yan took a deep breath and continued upward.
Soon, Qin Yan arrived at the top of the mountain peak.
Standing at the summit and looking out, he saw clouds and mist swirling around, as if he were standing amidst the clouds.
Strands of sharp Spear Intent drifted out from various rooms, intertwining and colliding in the air to form an invisible pressure.
Following the guidance of the token, he passed through several jagged rocks and arrived in front of a room.
The room wasn't large, built entirely of a bluish-gray stone that looked simple yet sturdy.
Complex array patterns were engraved on the door, with light faintly flowing through them. The number above the lintel was exactly No. 10.
Qin Yan took a deep breath and placed the token into the groove on the door.
[Ding, 5 taixuan points deducted.]
A light flashed on the token, and 5 taixuan points were instantly deducted.
Immediately after, the array patterns on the door lit up, and with a soft "click," the door slowly opened.
Qin Yan walked in immediately.
The door closed automatically behind him, cutting off everything from the outside world.
The room fell into silence, with only a faint, eerie light emanating from the walls, illuminating the small space.
And at that very moment, a powerful Nirvana Spear Intent spread out toward him!
The Spear Intent was like an invisible tide, surging from all directions and enveloping his entire being.
It wasn't simple pressure, but a deeper kind of invasion—as if it wanted to reduce all matter to silence.
"So this is Nirvana Spear Intent? As expected of a Third-Grade Spear Intent, it truly is more powerful than Destructions End Spear Intent."
Qin Yan sighed with emotion.
His Destructions End Spear Intent was only fourth-grade, and compared to Third-Grade, there was indeed a gap.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.
He walked to the center of the room and sat cross-legged.
He didn't rush to comprehend; instead, he first quietly felt the surrounding Spear Intent, letting his body and mind gradually immerse themselves in it.
That Nirvanic Intent surged in waves like a tide, and with every wash, his understanding of this power deepened by a notch.
After a long while, Qin Yan stood up and took out his long spear.
He began to train.
He swung the long spear again and again.
But under the influence of the surrounding Nirvana Spear Intent, every swing carried a different sensation.
The surrounding Spear Intent seemed to come alive, wandering around him and lingering at the tip of his spear, guiding him to comprehend and experience it.
In no time, Qin Yan felt a hint of Nirvanic Aura added to the long spear in his hand.
That Aura was very faint, so faint it was almost imperceptible, but it truly existed.
Qin Yan immediately opened the panel to check.
[Nirvana Spear Intent (Third-Grade)]: Comprehension Level (1%)
(Note: Once the comprehension level reaches 100%, you can comprehend Nirvana Spear Intent.)
"Is it at 1% already?"
A smile appeared at the corner of Qin Yan's mouth. How long had he been practicing?
In less than half a quarter-hour, he had already comprehended 1%.
It seems the enhancement of seventeen ten-thousandths of Spear Dao Profundity on my Spear Technique is even more powerful than I imagined.
Seventeen ten-thousandths—that was the sum of his original seven ten-thousandths plus the one-thousandth he had just obtained.
Now, his Spear Dao Profundity was close to two-thousandths.
This amount, if placed on any Prodigy, would be enough to drive them crazy.
"Then I'll keep up the hard work."
Qin Yan tucked away his smile and continued to throw himself into training.
So next, Qin Yan picked up his long spear and began training in the room!
Again and again, time after time.
He seemed tireless, merely repeating those movements he had long since mastered by heart in a mechanical fashion.
But in every repetition, he could feel something new—the essence of that Nirvana Spear Intent was gradually merging into his Spear Technique and into his Soul.
By nighttime, the eerie light in the room grew brighter, illuminating the small space.
Qin Yan stopped his movements, let out a long breath, and opened the panel to check.
[Nirvana Spear Intent (Third-Grade)]: Comprehension Level (49%)
49%! From morning until now, in just a few short hours, he had comprehended 48%.
This speed was astonishingly fast.
