Hoo hoo hoo!
One after another "headless corpses" plummeted from the sky, like little birds with broken wings.
The scene was spectacular!
Li Xiaoyao's "Jianlai Yijian" was truly too powerful.
The mighty sword energy, imbued with "Jianlai Sword Intent," swept through with destructive force.
It not only annihilated the "White Bone Giant Dragon Dharma Image" but also destroyed Gou Ying's physical body, and even his Nascent Soul.
Instant kill!
Gou Ying and his "White Bone Dao Soldiers" were all instantly killed!
After unleashing this sword strike, Li Xiaoyao's face broke into a smile.
His promotion this time was perfect!
Next, he needed to go into seclusion to consolidate his realm.
Li Xiaoyao bowed to the "Merit Incarnation."
"Senior, I wish to go into seclusion for a while to properly consolidate my realm!"
After a breakthrough, seclusion was a must!
Hao Ren naturally agreed.
He was just about to activate the "Merit Incarnation" to "show off" a bit and encourage Li Xiaoyao.
After all, Li Xiaoyao's "Jianlai Yijian" just now was so stunning. Hao Ren had already categorized Li Xiaoyao as an "SSR-level combat card," cough cough... In short, Hao Ren greatly admired Li Xiaoyao.
However, before he could even speak, an anomaly occurred.
In Hao Ren's mind, a familiar system notification suddenly sounded.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, your friend "Li Xiaoyao" has been favored by the "Great Dao of Swords," his "Sword Dao Potential" has fully erupted, awakening the great destiny "Innate Sword Seed."]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, your friend "Li Xiaoyao's" favorability towards you has reached five stars. You have successfully shared his great destiny "Innate Sword Seed."]
...
Hearing these two system notifications, Hao Ren was both surprised and delighted.
Honestly, "sword seed" and "sword person" both sounded very rude!
But, so what?
Who cared about such trivial matters!
"Innate Sword Seed" was a "great destiny," incredibly powerful, wasn't it? What did it matter if the name was impolite?
Hao Ren wished for a hundred more such impolite names, a hundred!
With his emotions surging, Hao Ren eagerly opened the detailed introduction of "Innate Sword Seed."
[Great Destiny: Innate Sword Seed]
[Trait 1: All "sword-related divine abilities," including but not limited to "sword techniques" and "sword formations," have their power increased by 100%.]
[Trait 2: The efficiency of comprehending "sword-related divine abilities" is increased by 200%.]
[Trait 3: The chance of creating "sword-related divine abilities" and "new sword intent" is increased by 100%.]
[Trait 4: Innate Luck +1000]
...
Wow, not bad, not bad!
Although Hao Ren was not a "sword person," ahem... a "sword cultivator," he was still captivated by the "Innate Sword Seed" great destiny.
This kind of great destiny was simply a "cheating artifact" for "sword cultivators."
Not only was the power of "sword-related divine abilities" doubled, but the chances of comprehending and creating "sword-related divine abilities" and "sword intent" were greatly increased.
This was on the fast track to becoming a "super sword immortal"!
"Brother Xiaoyao" was indeed "Brother Xiaoyao," a natural sword immortal!
Just as Hao Ren was sighing inwardly, another system notification arrived.
[Ding! System friendly suggestion: Your friend "Li Xiaoyao" possesses extraordinary "Sword Dao talent." The "Jianlai Sword Intent" he created has far greater future potential than "Qingyuan Sword Intent." Please take him as a disciple as soon as possible!]
Take a disciple?
This...
A sharp glint flashed in Hao Ren's eyes.
The previous system notifications contained a lot of information!
The potential of "Jianlai Sword Intent" far surpasses "Qingyuan Sword Intent"!
What did this mean?
"Qingyuan Sword Intent" was created by the "Qingyuan Sword Immortal"!
The "Qingyuan Sword Immortal" was a supremely talented Great Emperor!
He was invincible with "Qingyuan Sword Intent" and "Qingyuan Sword Formation"!
He was known as "one sword suppressing all heavens and myriad realms"!
From this, one could see how incredibly powerful "Qingyuan Sword Intent" was!
Yet, this incredibly powerful "Qingyuan Sword Intent," according to the system's description, had far less potential than "Jianlai Sword Intent."
Tsk tsk tsk!
Just how powerful must "Jianlai Sword Intent" be!
However, Hao Ren wasn't too surprised by this!
Normal, very reasonable!
This phrase "Jianlai" was the "highest bragging quote" in the "Sword Dao" of cultivation novels, already possessing a sense of "returning to simplicity."
If this wasn't powerful, what was!
The system's suggestion was to take Li Xiaoyao as a disciple!
This was a good suggestion!
With the "master-disciple bond function," as long as he took Li Xiaoyao as a disciple, Hao Ren could also comprehend "Jianlai Sword Intent."
Imagine, Hao Ren with his hands behind his back, looking up at the starry sky at a forty-five-degree angle, and then faintly saying.
"Dare I ask what is the falling clouds of the nine heavens, what is the standing waters of the four seas? Jianlai!"
Immediately, countless "flying swords" would surge into the sky, transforming into a brilliant "supreme sword strike"!
The "coolness" factor was off the charts, wasn't it!
It perfectly matched his professional-level eight "bragging master" style!
Love it, love it!
Hao Ren instantly made up his mind, he would take Li Xiaoyao as a disciple.
Uh...
The next second, Hao Ren found himself in a dilemma.
How to take him as a disciple?
Li Xiaoyao was immensely respectful and admiring of "a certain senior," but perhaps due to his excessive respect and admiration, he dared not, and had never, brought up the request to "become a disciple"!
This was rather awkward!
Hao Ren's current persona was that of a "aloof senior," and he had to maintain his "little tsundere" demeanor!
If Li Xiaoyao didn't actively propose to "become a disciple," Hao Ren couldn't possibly take the initiative!
This...
Hao Ren's mind raced, and soon he made a decision.
The "aloof senior" persona could not collapse. He absolutely could not take the initiative to "accept a disciple," but he could hint to Li Xiaoyao, making Li Xiaoyao proactively propose to "become a disciple"!
Hehe, I'm such a clever "little imp"!
With his mind made up, Hao Ren activated the "Merit Incarnation" and slowly spoke to Li Xiaoyao.
"Xiaoyao, your sword dao talent has reached its peak after this breakthrough. No one in this world can match it. Do you have anything you want to say to me?"
Li Xiaoyao was stunned.
What did Senior mean by saying this?
Oh!
He understood!
Soon, Li Xiaoyao came back to his senses, and he bowed to the "Merit Incarnation."
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior!"
Hao Ren
(￣ェ￣;)
Uh...
Well, Xiaoyao, you might have misunderstood. I wasn't asking you to thank me. Well, of course, thanks are always welcome, but the core issue right now isn't thanking me, it's becoming a disciple, becoming a disciple, becoming a disciple...
Important things are said three times!
Hao Ren grumbled inwardly. He tried his best to adjust his emotions, speaking to Li Xiaoyao with a gentle and guiding tone.
"Xiaoyao, my second disciple, Han Mo, also has strong sword dao talent. You two can have a discussion if you have the chance!"
Hao Ren deliberately emphasized the words "second disciple."
