Chapter 54 – Triple Realm
Kong Qing walked into the Chaotic Wind Tunnel, feeling the familiar, powerful gusts of wind. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
"I hope I can refine my Sword Intent this time," he thought to himself. He was just one step away from mastering Sword Intent but had always been unable to break through. This time, he was determined to surpass the 25-meter mark and stay there for an entire day!
"Tap, tap..."
Progressing with difficulty, his steps were much steadier than when Su Mu had first entered. Although his pace was slow, his footing was firm.
At the 10-meter mark, Kong Qing stopped, bracing against the fierce wind to practice his swordsmanship.
"Not enough, far from enough!" A day later, Kong Qing decided to continue forward. The 10-meter mark was far from sufficient to achieve Sword Intent; he needed more intense pressure!
But at the 20-meter mark, he might not even be able to swing his sword!
Reaching the 20-meter mark, Kong Qing paused and began to draw the sharp sword from his back. Here, he could barely manage to draw his sword. If he reached the 25-meter mark, he would be lucky just to stand firm, let alone draw his sword.
"Hmm? Someone ahead?" Just as he was about to practice his swordsmanship, he sensed Su Mu's presence. Kong Qing was startled; under the influence of the fierce wind, his perception was greatly weakened, and sensing anything within 20 meters was his limit.
"Someone's at the 35-meter mark!"
"Who could it be? Could it be one of them?"
Only a few could advance beyond 30 meters, but who exactly was it?
Raising his hand to shield against the wind, he struggled to open his eyes but still couldn't see clearly ahead, barely making out a silhouette.
The person ahead seemed to glance back at him, then continued forward!
"Really at 35 meters, and still moving forward!"
"Is he aiming for 40 meters?"
Kong Qing was so shocked he almost bit his tongue. He could only reach 25 meters, and 30 meters was a watershed that only those in the late Transcendence Realm could reach. To reach 40 meters, one's cultivation must at least be at the Fate Palace Realm!
"Aren't the Fate Palace Realm students already there?"
"Maybe he's just trying it out."
In disbelief, he stared intently at the figure ahead, growing increasingly tense.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Mu finally reached the 40-meter mark with great difficulty!
At this position, the wind's intensity was at least twice as strong as at the 30-meter mark!
"Staying here for long is unrealistic, at most a quarter of an hour, but it's an excellent place to practice swordsmanship!"
Su Mu thought to himself. The Chaotic Wind Tunnel not only tempered the body and cultivation but was also a great place to hone swordsmanship. Practicing swordsmanship here was akin to practicing underwater; even holding the sword was extremely difficult!
But if he could practice swordsmanship here for a quarter of an hour, his understanding of Sword Intent would undoubtedly deepen!
By then, the power of the Lawless Sword Trick would reach a new level!
"Clang!"
Drawing the sword from his back, Su Mu was already panting, almost losing grip of the sword.
"Lawless Sword Trick, Transcend Sin!"
"Question the World!"
"Return to Origin!"
In the fierce wind, Su Mu slowly executed the three forms of the Lawless Sword Trick, his movements incredibly slow!
At the 20-meter mark, Kong Qing was dumbfounded!
"He really reached the 40-meter mark!"
"He, he drew his sword!"

"He's practicing swordsmanship!"
Seeing Su Mu draw his sword, Kong Qing's eyes nearly popped out!
That was the 40-meter mark, where the wind's intensity was at least three times stronger than where he was, capable of blowing away thousand-pound boulders!
He struggled to draw his sword at the 20-meter mark, yet that person not only drew his sword but was practicing swordsmanship at the 40-meter mark!
How terrifying!
"What sword technique is that?" He greedily watched Su Mu practice, his obsession with swordsmanship surpassing all else!
But the more he watched, the more confused he became, unable to understand at all!
Then he saw Su Mu suddenly sheathe his sword and face forward!
"What is he trying to do?" Kong Qing was bewildered, his mind going blank.
"Is he trying to cut through the wind!?"
A thunderous shock surged through his mind; it was impossible, absolutely impossible!
"Return to Origin!"
Su Mu slashed forward, directly cutting through the wind, and for a moment, the fierce wind around him ceased!
But this only lasted a split second before the wind resumed its assault!
"Hiss!"
"He really cut through it!"
Even for just a moment, Kong Qing was stunned, his scalp tingling. How terrifying must his strength be to achieve that!
He must be at the Fate Palace Realm!
"No, he's only at the ninth level of the Fate Palace Realm!"
Sensing Su Mu's cultivation, Kong Qing's mind felt like it had been hit by a bomb, buzzing!
Not even at the Transcendence Realm, yet he could advance to the 40-meter mark? Practice swordsmanship at the 40-meter mark? And cut through the wind?
Is he even human? He's practically a monster!
"It's Sword Intent, he has comprehended Sword Intent!"
Moments later, the wind brought him the power he had longed for!
Kong Qing was both shocked and ecstatic!
"He must be an upperclassman who has comprehended Sword Intent! His cultivation must be disguised!"
"I must get him to teach me. With his guidance, I will surely comprehend Sword Intent!" Kong Qing's heart raced, his blood boiling, making his face flush with excitement!
He quickly stood still, waiting respectfully. Firstly, he didn't dare disturb the "upperclassman" ahead, and secondly, he had no right to enter the area beyond 30 meters!
Su Mu continued practicing his swordsmanship, completely unaware that an upperclassman was waiting behind him.
"Just as I thought, this is an excellent place to practice swordsmanship!" He was excited; his Sword Intent had strengthened again, rising to a new level!
"Perhaps it won't be long before I reach the second level of Sword Intent, the Sword Body!"
Sword Intent is divided into three levels: the first level is ordinary Sword Intent, which, when deeply comprehended, can shape the entire body, transforming oneself into an invincible sword, known as the Sword Body!
Beyond the Sword Body is the third level of Sword Intent—the Sword Heart!
The Sword Heart represents the true unity of man and sword, where all techniques converge into one!
However, reaching the Sword Heart is still a long journey.
"With my current strength, I can definitely kill someone at the third level of the Transcendence Realm!"
As long as it's not a top-tier genius at the third level of the Transcendence Realm, they wouldn't withstand a single strike from him!
"It's time to go back." He had stayed here for three days; staying any longer would be detrimental to his cultivation. No matter how hard one trains, there must be a limit.
"He's coming out!"
Seeing Su Mu turn around, Kong Qing was filled with excitement, not knowing where to place his hands.
Retreating to the 30-meter mark, the pressure instantly lessened. Su Mu opened his eyes and saw Kong Qing waiting eagerly, frowning.
"Is he waiting for me?" But he didn't recognize this person.
"Senior!"
Su Mu walked over, still puzzled. Before he could get a good look at Kong Qing, the latter hurriedly bowed respectfully.
"Senior?" Su Mu's eyes widened. This was clearly an upperclassman, so how did he become the senior?
"You've got the wrong person." Shaking his head, he tried to walk past, but Kong Qing immediately blocked his way.
"Senior, I am Kong Qing. I've been practicing swordsmanship for many years but have yet to break through. I humbly ask for your guidance to help me achieve Sword Intent!"
"I would be eternally grateful!"
Kong Qing's desire for Sword Intent had reached an unparalleled level. After speaking, he even knelt down to beg!
Su Mu was moved. A man kneels only to his parents, so Kong Qing must be truly obsessed with the sword, often called a sword fanatic!
Not wanting to refuse a sword fanatic's request, but he really wasn't a senior.
"Um, my understanding of Sword Intent is still very basic, so I might not be able to guide you." Hesitating for a moment, he decided to refuse to avoid the awkwardness of revealing he was just a new student.
Seeing Su Mu's reluctance, Kong Qing gritted his teeth and kowtowed!
"Please, senior, help me!"
"Absolutely not!" Su Mu's face changed, and he hurried to help Kong Qing up. He was still young and didn't want to accept such a grand gesture.
"Senior, if you don't agree, I won't get up!" Kong Qing stubbornly knelt, unmoved by Su Mu's efforts to lift him.
After trying for a while and failing, Su Mu had no choice but to let go, genuinely at a loss.
"Then at least look at me first?"
