The Hedonist Sword God

Chapter 141: Jump down a mountain

Calming his breath from suddenly breaking into the Dharma Realm, Jian Shen closed his eyes and began inspecting the changes inside his body.

Opening his eyes with a confused expression on his face, Jian Shen proceeded to touch his body from the outside and squeeze his muscles.

'Nothing seems different... '

Other than the obvious increase in vitality and lifespan like every breakthrough credited him with, Jian Shen was sure that neither his physical body nor his Qi Core had undergone any changes.

It had to be mentioned that Jian Shen's vitality now after breaking into the Dharma Realm was 600 years.

'Then what has changed? I...'

Just as those thoughts surrounded Jian Shen's head, he suddenly saw a bunch of kids a tree burning in the distance.

'Fire... '

Unconsciously focusing on the huge fire which was incinerating the bark, twigs, leaves, and everything else mercilessly, Jian Shen came back to his senses after realizing something happening in the palm of his right hand.

Stretching in forward, Jian Shen other than sensing his body releasing Qi through his palm, also grasped the inflow of something from the surrounding air.

And when the two of them, his Qi, and whatever was in the air met, sparks began flashing for a few seconds before a flame appeared.

A flame was burning from the middle of his palm!!!

Seeing the flame yellow flame curiously since it wasn't burning his palm, Jian Shen moved his hand close to the curtains and continued observing.

Catching on fire instantly, the curtains started to burn when Jian Shen used his sword to split the curtain and kept the fire from spreading to the upper part.

With no other sources to burn and stay for long, the fire continued flickering until the curtain was completely turned into ash before dying down.

Getting back to the flame in his hand with excited eyes, Jian Shen controlled the flow of Qi which in turn decided on how big or small the flame should be.

Extinguishing the fire with a quick thought, Jian Shen began thinking about water.

'Water.... Water... Water... '

Unfortunately, nothing happened this time. And even after a minute, Jian Shen was only staring at his palm with a once again confused face.

'Why was I able to create fire, but not able to create water? Because fire is easier to make since all it needs is friction? Or maybe since I have a Yang type Bloodline?'

Falling into deep thought Jian Shen kept on thinking about many aspects before the two swords interrupted his thoughts.

"You're thinking in the wrong direction, husband."

"While you are right about why you were able to create fire, and not water. It isn't impossible for you to create water."

"Oh? Tell me more."

Quite interested in learning more about it, Jian Shen asked them to continued explaining.

"The exact reason you were able to create fire, was because the Intent of Heaven And Earth your body comprehended to enter the Dharma Realm, was the Intent of Fire, husband."

"To Intent of Fire is both the easiest and hardest Intent to comprehend. Easy, because anyone could try to comprehend it and all you need to understand is how a spark starts and then turns into a fire."

"However, to turn a simple flame into one which can burn everything, including the whole world is not something everyone can do."

After Juewang finished explaining a little about the Intent of Fire, Qingyu continued with the Intent of Water.

"The Intent of Water is considered one of the more complicated Intents, but it truly isn't that hard once you learn how to create water."

"Water is present around you all times in the form of moisture. And comprehending the Intent of Water allows you to draw them close and create water out of thin air."

Nodding his head continuously, Jian Shen didn't ask anything else and pondered over the new information he received for a while.

Once he more or less understood what the two swords were trying to tell him, Jian Shen asked the one question he was quite curious to know.

"How can I fly?"

Dharma Cultivators can fly. This was a pretty common piece of information that almost everyone knew and dreamed to achieve.

After all, why wouldn't any human want to fly?

"Flying is pretty basic, husband."

"All you need to do is comprehend the Intent of Wind, and surround your body with it. First use it to turn your body weightless, and then to move in the direction you want, Jian Shen."

"And how do I comprehend the Intent of Wind?"

This question wasn't answered immediately as the two swords took a while to come up with their own answer.

"Staying in a windy place makes it easier to comprehend the Intent of Wind, husband."

"Hmmm. there is an unorthodox method, but it does work well."

"What is it?"

"Jump down a mountain."

Hearing the answer, Jian Shen felt that Qingyu was maybe joking and almost laughed before realizing that she was being serious.

"You want me to jump down a mountain?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"The fear and threat of death always bring out the potential of the cultivator. And in case of a Dharma cultivator, jumping down a mountain in most cases allows them to comprehend the Intent of Wind and use it to stay alive."

"In most cases?"

"Well, there are always a few idiots with no talent whatsoever who die before being able to comprehend the Intent of Wind."

Hearing her, Jian Shen could almost picture Qingyu shrugging her shoulders while shaking her head.

"But, this might not work for you because you subconsciously know that we'll save you before something bad happens to you."
