"This time the Judgment Department chose the Northern Domain as the breakthrough point precisely because our sect is the weakest among the Four Great Celestial Sects?"

Zhou Dongfei shook his head and said, "So Su Yuwei failed, and the news will soon spread across the world. The probes from other sects should be arriving soon."

"The Four Symbols Sect has already sent word that they will send disciples next year to our sect for a small competition... This time, our sect cannot afford to lose." Luo Bingyun coldly said, "This time I let Luo Qingxuan enter the Sword Pool precisely to handle the challenge from the Four Symbols Sect."

"Let's talk about it after they come out of the Sword Pool."

Not wanting to discuss the topic further, Zhou Dongfei turned and left directly.

...

Unbeknownst to himself, Wang Junze had already been cultivating in the Sword Pool for two months.

Although Wang Junze's previous cultivation was also very diligent, this time's insane cultivation in the Sword Pool was a first!

The environment of the Sword Pool was extremely special, besides the erosion of Sword Qi, the Spiritual Qi was extraordinarily dense. Even during Condensing Truth, there was no need to eat, as the surrounding Spiritual Qi was enough to sustain all consumption.

Moreover, even while sleeping, Wang Junze had to constantly endure the erosion of Sword Qi, without any time for rest.

However, this kind of insane cultivation brought benefits that were equally immeasurable.

Compared to when he first entered the Sword Pool, Wang Junze had already penetrated nearly a hundred meters deeper, and his body had long adapted to the pain of Sword Qi erosion.

The most critical aspect was that Wang Junze not only mastered the Profound Moon Sword Qi but also comprehended the Profound Moon Sword Intent!

Unlike the Rain Sword Intent, the Profound Moon Sword Intent was sharper and once again elevated Wang Junze's Sword Dao.

Now, Wang Junze felt that whenever he wished, he could break through to Refining Spirit!

However, this normal breakthrough was clearly not what Wang Junze wanted.

During Opening Veins, Wang Junze used Sword Qi to open veins, and when stepping into Condensing Truth, with Su Yuwei's help, he broke through with Sword Intent during a rain, achieving Hundred Meridians Opening, and stepped into Condensing Truth with a perfect demeanor.

Now, Wang Junze wanted to condense the Divine Soul with Sword Intent and break through to Refining Spirit!

Nevertheless, truly achieving this, naturally, was equally very difficult. Even though he had been cultivating in the Sword Pool for two months, Wang Junze still could not accomplish it.

Moreover, the most critical question was which Sword Intent should he use for Refining Spirit!

The Rain Sword Intent was what Wang Junze was most familiar with; previously, Wang Junze would naturally opt to use the Rain Sword Intent for Refining Spirit. But now, with the comprehension of the Profound Moon Sword Intent, it seemed to provide Wang Junze with another option.

Also, cultivating the Profound Moon Sword Technique and using the Profound Moon Sword Intent for Refining Spirit seemed relatively easier.

However… Wang Junze vaguely felt that if he really used the Profound Moon Sword Intent for Refining Spirit, even if successful, its potential would be quite limited!

It's not that the Profound Moon Sword Technique wasn't powerful, but this kind of Sword Intent seemed to possess significant limitations.

Of course, this also came from Wang Junze acquiring the Chess Swordsmanship heritage, leading him to feel this way!

Now, the more he cultivated, the more Wang Junze understood the terrifying nature of Chess Swordsmanship. It was no exaggeration to say this was definitely a top inheritance surpassing the Profound Moon Sword Technique, giving Wang Junze a broader vision.

Unknowingly, Wang Junze seemed to recall the scenario when he broke through to Condensing Truth during that rain.

Water Sword Intent!

Back when the Hundred Meridians Opening occurred, when all meridians were connected, Wang Junze actually comprehended a trace of Water Sword Intent, yet this comprehension was ultimately too shallow, insufficient to support him in truly grasping the Water Sword Intent!

But now, reaching a bottleneck, Wang Junze vaguely felt that the Water Sword Intent was his best choice.

But… how exactly should he comprehend the Water Sword Intent?

Currently, there was no convenience like Su Yuwei providing him Enlightenment during a rain.

Wait a moment!

Suddenly, a very intense thought suddenly flashed in Wang Junze's mind.

Sword Pool... Sword Pool!

Sword Qi forms water, gathering into a pool!

In some ways, why couldn't the Sword Qi in the Sword Pool be viewed as a special form of water?

With that thought, Wang Junze instantly felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

At this moment, looking at the Sword Qi in the Sword Pool, Wang Junze seemed to have completely entered a different and unique perspective.

Hundred Meridians Opening, the meridians inside his body forming a Great Cycle, the sensation was like a great river, where True Qi circulated within meridians like water rushing in a river!

Sword Qi is the same!

Continuously absorbing and devouring Sword Qi, not only for Body Tempering, but also integrating the Sword Qi within, into this great river.

In the Sword Pool, Sword Qi continuously circulated; wasn't it also like flowing water?

Be it Rain Sword Intent or Profound Moon Sword Intent, they both had significant limitations. Using them as a basis to temper the Divine Soul seemed not perfect enough, yet the Water Sword Intent did not have this issue at all!

In the next moment, Wang Junze sat down again, re-entering the state of Sword Enlightenment!

The surrounding Sword Qi kept eroding, like waves forming a unique perspective.

Time passed silently!

At this moment, Wang Junze seemed to have completely forgotten the passage of time, all his focus plunged into the comprehension of the Water Sword Intent!

Boom!

Nobody knew how much time had passed when Wang Junze suddenly felt as if everything around him transformed into a raging great river!

A terrifying Sword Intent suddenly burst forth!

This sudden change even startled Luo Qingxuan, who was cultivating in the depths of the Sword Pool, and she immediately headed towards Wang Junze's position.

Refining Spirit!

Without any time to think, the moment the Sword Intent broke through, Wang Junze naturally began to charge into the Refining God Realm!

The Sword Intent surged, pouring into the Divine Soul, fiercely tempering the Divine Soul!

Wang Junze's initially weak Divine Soul immediately began to undergo a crazed Sword Intent attack, gradually changing shape!

If anyone could see through Wang Junze's Divine Soul, they would find that his Divine Soul was condensing into the shape of a sword at that moment, Spiritual Qi and Sword Qi constantly converging, relentlessly impacting and tempering the Divine Soul!

The Water Sword Intent erupted forth!

All the power seemed to transform into flows of water, continuously scouring!

Forged in the thousands of refinements!

The essence of water, exceedingly strong and exceedingly gentle, continuously gathering in the Sea of Consciousness, endlessly tempering the Divine Soul, this tempering far surpassing the strength imparted by the Profound Moon Sword Intent on the Divine Soul.

At this moment, Wang Junze's profound foundation also re-emerged!

Even if others could comprehend the Water Sword Intent, without Hundred Meridians Opening, they could not form such a perfect cycle and maintain the tempering of the Divine Soul for long!

On the other hand, even a cultivator with Hundred Meridians Opening, without comprehending the Water Sword Intent, also could not perfectly temper the Divine Soul, incapable of reaching such an effect.

Perfect Soul Tempering, this time, also pushed Wang Junze to break through the limits again, embedding Sword into Soul!
