CHAPTER 609 GET TO KNOW THE EXTREME LEVEL
The so-called ancestor was a middle-aged man in a cyan robe. He approached Darren. As soon as he
stood nearby, his sword intent made the sword core in Darren's elixir field produce a low buzzing
sound.
'The sword intent the man released is probably less than fifty percent of its power. At its maximum
power, the extreme sword intent must be really terrible, ' Darren thought.
He could feel the sword intent more clearly now that he was closer to the man in the cyan robe.
Darren then compared the man to Mathew. They had their own merits, but the sword intent of the man
was not as intimidating as Mathew's killing sword intent. Overall, the man's combat effectiveness was
probably higher than Darren's but slightly weaker than Mathew's.
"I was at a critical juncture of my cultivation when the trouble started. I couldn't help but want to stop my
cultivation to save my inferiors. Fortunately, young man, you saved them and the three tribes. Thank
you," the middle-aged man said.
"You are welcome. Please, consider it a small favor. By the way, sir, have you reached the Holy
Realm?" Darren asked.
"Ha-ha-ha." The middle-aged man gave a bitter laugh before explaining, "I haven't completely
mastered the Holy Will. Thus, I didn't make a complete breakthrough to that realm."
"Really?" Darren's eyes lit up. "Sir, do you have insight about the Holy Will?"
"That's right. After over 3000 years of hard work, I finally gained some insights about it. But, if I want to
comprehend it thoroughly, I can't reach my goal by mere closed-door cultivation," replied the middle-
aged man.
"Then, sir, may I ask you some related questions?"
Hanson had been instructing Darren when he was in the Starry Tower. However, as Hanson had been
poisoned for an extended period, his understanding of the little bit of Holy Will had dissipated. So, he
couldn't teach Darren.
Mathew had sensed some will about killing sword intent as he chose the Killing Cultivation. But it was
not suitable for Darren.
Although the middle-aged man seemed to walk on a unique road and pursue sharp and fierce skills, his
cultivation method was a little similar to Darren's sword intent. That was why Darren wanted to learn
from him.
"I would like to chat with you, as well, my little friend. Let's speak after I settle some business here," the
man said to Darren.
Then, he turned to the crowd and instructed, "You may leave for the moment. I guess you need time to
clean up the damage and bury the dead. When the right opportunity comes, I will help you get
revenge."
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone present responded respectfully by kneeling.
With their ancestor's and Darren's help, they were not afraid of anyone who wanted to make trouble.
After the crowd retreated, Darren and the middle-aged man walked side-by-side.
"My name is Darren Chu. Sir, may I know your name?" Darren asked.
"I took the liberty to detect your bone age. Shockingly, you are in your twenties. You are a genius," the
middle-aged man said in surprise instead of answering Darren's question.
"Well, yes," Darren said honestly.
"Ha-ha-ha, you are a courageous young man. I feel ashamed. My name is Isaac Hu. I'm a man of a
certain age, a few thousand years older than you. If you don't mind, you can just call me Isaac."
Darren didn't refuse. It seemed that Isaac Hu was eager to be friends with him.
"Isaac, may I know how did you grasp the extreme level of the sword intent? Your sword intent is much
stronger than mine," Darren asked.
"Hasn't your master told you this?" Isaac Hu was confused. 'Although Darren is so young, he is quite
outstanding in martial arts. He must be fortunate enough to cultivate with a gifted master. But why
doesn't he know such a thing?' he wondered.
"Ha-ha, to be honest, most of the time, I cultivated independently. I did cultivate with a master over the
past few days. He did give me a lot of advice, but I focused on improving my strength. I didn't think to
ask him these questions," Darren replied humbly.
Hearing his words, Isaac Hu was even more surprised.
It was shocking to hear that a cultivator could reach such a high cultivation base through independent
cultivation and still be under the age of thirty.
"Oh, I see. You're too young to know that.
To reach an extreme level, a warrior's cultivation must be pushed to the top level of the cultivation
method he chooses. For example, some cultivators who cultivate fist skills can grasp the extreme fist
intent. Similarly, people who cultivate spear skills may grasp the extreme spear intent. And our sword C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
cultivators will cultivate the extreme sword intent.
Extreme sword intent can be divided into many categories. Theoretically speaking, one can only
develop one extreme sword intent, because an extreme sword intent needs to be combined with a
specific rule. If someone has already comprehended a type of extreme sword intent, it will be difficult
for those who cultivate the same type to surpass him while he is alive.
In other words, there can only be one extremeness for one branch of cultivation. In terms of
swordsmanship, there are at least ten thousand branches that people have learned over time. This is
why there are a limited number of extreme sword intents.
I used to practice both Sharp Sword Cultivation and Fast Sword Cultivation. Yet, the two kinds of
extreme swordsmanship had been comprehended by others before me. Since they are still alive, no
matter how hard I try, I can only get close to the extreme sword intent. I can't go further. When I entered
the seven-star Grand Realm, I started cultivating secretly. I changed my cultivation method into a
ferocious one, and my swordsmanship became sharp and powerful at the same time. In this way, I
could attain my current sword intent. Through hard work and luck, I was able to comprehend its
extreme level."
Hearing Isaac Hu's detailed explanation, Darren finally understood how extreme levels worked.
There could be only one extreme level of sword intent in each cultivation path.
Moreover, about ten thousand different kinds of sword intents had already been comprehended. There
were tens of thousands of great warriors in this world. Perhaps, every one of them had reached an
extreme level. It would, thus, be difficult for the latecomers to comprehend an extreme level.
"Darren, I can see that your sword intent is broad and sharp. It's close to the extreme level, but it hasn't
reached that level yet. In my opinion, another warrior has reached an extreme level in your cultivation
path. You cannot surpass him," Isaac Hu told Darren.
Darren suddenly realized that he had learned his sword intent from the cliff in the Starry Tower, which
had been left by his master, who had black and white swords in his eyes. Later, to condense his sword
core, Darren had assimilated much of his sword intent in the sword intent pool. It meant that the sword
intent he obtained belonged to others, and he had taken the path paved by others.
Hence, he could not reach the extreme level.
"You are right, sir. My sword intent was from someone else," Darren replied.
"Even so, it is impressive that you have reached such a level. But, if you want to go further, you have to
change. Only by taking a road that no one has passed can you reach an extreme level.
I can sense that you're cultivating both sword and blade intents at the same time. It's one of the biggest
Conflicting Cultivations in the world. Maybe, you have already taken a different path," Isaac Hu added.
What shocked him most was that Darren cultivated both sword and blade intents at the same time.
From ancient times till now, many people had tried to walk down this path, but they died miserably. No
one became a senior holy warrior, let alone become a holy emperor.
It was amazing that Darren had reached such a level while practicing sword and blade skills
simultaneously.
"Well, thank you for your advice, sir. I will try to explore my path." Darren cupped his hands and
expressed his gratitude.
"That's great to hear. Darren, let's go. I'll show you my shallow Holy Will." With a faint smile, Isaac Hu
looked into the distance.
"Sir, what do you mean?" Darren asked as confusion coursed through him.
"Have you forgotten that those pests invaded my tribes? I have to teach them a lesson. If I swallow the
insult and humiliation silently, they will think that I'm dead," Isaac Hu said through gritted teeth.
"You are right." Darren smiled before continuing, "But, Isaac, since your surname is Hu, how could you
be the ancestor of the three tribes? I remember their surnames are Kui, Qiu and Ji."
Darren was puzzled.
"Ha-ha, these three tribes were created by three of my disciples. As they hadn't achieved anything of
significance, they respected me as their ancestor."
"Oh, I see. Then I'll go with you. Let's see how strong the so-called big tribe, who dared to attack the
three tribes, is," Darren said with a smile.
"That's good to hear. Let's go to Tiger City first," Isaac Hu suggested. Then, he flew toward the north
with Darren.
