3: Sign in at the Sword Tomb, Quasi-Immortal Emperor Sword Intent
Qin Jianxin sat cross-legged at the very front of the Sword Tomb.
After closing her eyes and resting for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, a pervasive Sword Intent spread out from her body.
Within that Sword Intent, a small sword phantom appeared, and a clear sword cry resonated.
"This is... this is... a nascent Sword Intent!"
"Qin Jianxin has actually comprehended a nascent Sword Intent!"
Many of the Qin Family Disciples present showed expressions of shock.
Sword Intent: this is the mark of a Sword Cultivator entering the inner sanctum.
Once one comprehends Sword Intent, it means that person has attained a certain level of mastery in the Dao of the Sword.
Although a nascent Sword Intent is not a true Sword Intent, having a nascent Sword Intent means that one is not far from truly condensing Sword Intent.
"To condense a nascent Sword Intent at twelve years old, this is simply too terrifying!
Qin Jianxin has probably broken our Qin Family's record for the youngest age to condense a nascent Sword Intent in a hundred years!"
"No wonder Qin Jianxin wanted to try again this time; it turns out she has condensed a nascent Sword Intent."
While everyone was discussing, this Sword Intent spread out.
All the spirit swords in the Sword Tomb resonated, their sword bodies shaking as if they wanted to recognize a master.
But Qin Jianxin paid no attention to this; her Sword Intent pointed directly to the center of the Sword Tomb.
The center of the Sword Tomb is where the Immortal's treasured swords are located.
Relying solely on a nascent Sword Intent, it's naturally impossible to subdue the treasured swords within.
However, it also depends on the age of the wielder.
If it were a middle-aged person, let alone an Immortal's treasured sword, even an ordinary mighty cultivator's treasured sword would not resonate, because their age is too great and their potential exhausted.
But Qin Jianxin is only twelve years old now, and the nascent Sword Intent she released represents infinite potential.
She was demonstrating her potential to the spirit swords in the central area.
At the very center, several vast Sword Intent pressures were released.
That Sword Intent pressure was extremely terrifying, sweeping out and causing many Qin Family Disciples to retreat repeatedly.
This was the Sword Intent of an Immortal's treasured sword; even if the person was gone, just this residual Sword Intent, if not for the Formation protecting the Sword Tomb, would be enough to destroy all the Qin Family Disciples present.
By moving the Sword Intent pressure of the spirit swords in the central area, Qin Jianxin had the qualifications to obtain one.
Many people held their breath, eager to know if Qin Jianxin could gain recognition.
Bang!
At this moment, Qin Jianxin's sitting figure swayed, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
The vast Sword Intent pressure from the central area also dissipated.
She failed.
Many people sighed slightly, but they did not belittle Qin Jianxin for this.
Although she failed this time, it was enough to show that she was qualified.
If her Sword Intent increased further in the future, it was very likely she would gain the recognition of an Immortal's treasured sword.
Qin Jianxin wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her gaze firm.
Although she didn't get recognition this time, she had made great progress.
Next time she came, she was confident she would make an Immortal's treasured sword recognize her.
Just then, a vast surge of spiritual energy stirred in the distance, revealing an Azure Cloud Flood Dragon, coiling through the clouds, heading towards the Sword Tomb.
"An Azure Cloud Flood Dragon! This is the Clan Chief's mount, the Azure Cloud Flood Dragon!"
Someone recognized the Flood Dragon and shouted in surprise.
Then, everyone looked at the Flood Dragon's body.
Qin Wushuang stood at the front of the dragon's head, and behind him were several Family Elders.
"Who is that little child?"
Many also noticed a six-year-old child sitting beside Qin Wushuang.
The child's eyes were as bright as black gemstones, his dark hair cascaded down, his skin was crystal clear, his features were handsome, and his temperament was ethereal and refined.
Although there were no spiritual energy fluctuations on his body, his Qi and blood surged like a furnace.
"Who is this? So cute, such a handsome child!"
"Able to sit next to the Clan Chief, could it be..."
"That's right, besides the one the outside world calls our Qin Family's Child of Qilin, who else could it be?"
The speaker was a fourteen-year-old boy, dressed in brocade robes, with a somewhat arrogant expression, and a hint of Jealousy and unwillingness in his eyes as he looked at Qin Ding.
This young man was named Qin Xinghong, one of the Qin Family's Quasi-Saint Children, who had a chance to contend for the position of Holy Son of the Qin Family in the future, becoming the leading figure of the Qin Family's younger generation.
At this moment, he showed a slight hostility towards Qin Ding, and the others did not know why he displayed such an attitude.
Six years ago, Qin Ding was born, with purple Qi coming from the east and the rising sun, his name as an Innate Dao Body resounding throughout the Cang Continent.
At that time, some in the Qin Family suggested directly establishing Qin Ding as the contemporary Holy Son.
The position of Holy Son is the leader of the Qin Family's youth in an era.
The person who obtains the position of Holy Son, as long as they do not perish in the future, will surely become the future Clan Chief of the Qin Family.
And generally, to become a Holy Son, one must first become a Quasi-Saint Child.
Even being a Quasi-Saint Child is not an easy task; one must possess extraordinary talent and strength, and stand out from the tens of thousands of young people in the Qin Family to succeed.
When the proposal to establish Qin Ding as Holy Son was made, there were also two factions in the Family.
One faction believed that with Qin Ding's Innate Dao Body Physique, he would surely become the leading figure of the Qin Family in the future and once again embark on the Emperor's Path, so he could be given the position of Holy Son.
The other faction felt it was inappropriate, because even the position of Quasi-Saint Child requires trials to obtain, let alone the position of Holy Son; why should Qin Ding receive it just by being born?
Later, this matter was left unresolved due to the debate.
Of course, at that time, Qin Ding also became a thorn in the side of the various Quasi-Saint Children of the Qin Family, regarded as their biggest rival.
So, it was normal for Qin Xinghong to have hostility.
"Greetings, Clan Chief, Elders."
After Qin Wushuang and the others descended from the Flood Dragon, the other Qin Family Disciples present did not dare to neglect them.
Even Qin Jianxin stood up and bowed slightly in greeting.
After Qin Wushuang nodded slightly to everyone, he said to Qin Ding, "Qin Ding, this is our Family's Sword Tomb.
You can try to perceive it and see if you have an affinity with the Dao of the Sword."
When he said this, everyone knew that this time Qin Ding was probably going to test which Dao he would walk.
At this moment, many people became interested.
The news began to spread, and many Qin Family Disciples specifically rushed over.
The reputation of the Qin Family's Child of Qilin, the Innate Dao Body, was simply too great.
The Innate Dao Body Physique had not reappeared on the Cang Continent for hundreds of thousands of years.
Everyone's understanding of it came from historical records of Holy Lands and aristocratic Families.
They also wanted to see if this Innate Dao Body was as Heaven-Defying as described in the literature.
In less than the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the Qin Family's Sword Tomb reached unprecedented popularity.
All clansmen within a thousand-mile radius who had no important matters at hand had gathered here.
"Qin Ding, you go ahead and try; don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Qin Wushuang also comforted Qin Ding, fearing he would feel pressured, as in his opinion, he was still young.
"So many people..."
Qin Ding felt a faint excitement in his heart.
He deliberately delayed for a while, wanting to gather popularity, otherwise, who would he show off to later?
Qin Ding walked to the front of the Sword Tomb.
Qin Jianxin actively yielded her position, watching Qin Ding with a somewhat meaningful gaze.
When she first came to the Sword Tomb, she had caused a mighty spirit sword in the outer area to resonate.
Although it was just a simple resonance and the mighty spirit sword did not recognize her as its master at the time, it had already caused a great sensation.
She also wanted to see what level of spirit sword this Innate Dao Body Child of Qilin would move on his first visit to the Sword Tomb.
As Qin Ding walked to the front of the Sword Tomb, the System's mechanical prompt sounded.
"Ding! The System has detected that the Host has arrived at the Qin Family's Sword Tomb.
Do you wish to sign in?"
Upon hearing this sound, Qin Ding immediately said silently, "Sign in."
"Congratulations, Host, for successful sign-in!
You have obtained Overbearing Sword Intent."
"Overbearing Sword Intent: A Sword Intent Legacy left by a Quasi-Immortal Emperor of the Qin Family."
