In the blink of an eye, before he could even react, the emerald light shot into his forehead as he had just sheathed his sword. Linfen's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly tried to block it with his hand, but the emerald light disappeared into his forehead without a trace.
Linfen's heart turned completely cold, but after waiting for a long time, nothing seemed amiss. Instead, he felt a cool sensation on his forehead, an indescribable comfort. The scene he had just experienced seemed to be deeply etched into his mind, impossible to forget.
He shook his head in confusion, his face immediately turning into a frown. He ran towards the thatched hut, eager to get some answers.
Just as he reached the door, Gaiyu came out of the hut, carrying what looked like some kind of clothing, which was quite beautiful.
"Uncle Gai, just now after I finished practicing my sword, a green light ran into my forehead. What the hell was that thing?!" Linfen complained unhappily.
"Are you sure?" Upon hearing Linfen's words, even the usually stern Gaiyu widened his eyes slightly and asked in astonishment. His words were filled with disbelief and an extreme excitement; even his hands were trembling slightly.
"Yes! It went inside my forehead."
Gaiyu rubbed his forehead, speechless for the first time at this naive fellow. That was something cultivators, especially swordsmen, dreamed of their entire lives, yet this guy had experienced it quite easily.
"That thing is called a sword pattern. It's a representative thing that spontaneously forms when one comprehends the sword intent to its extreme and gains the recognition of heaven and earth. It's the thing that a swordsman desires most in his life. Only by fully comprehending the true meaning of the sword can it be formed!" Gaiyu didn't know what to feel. It had taken him a whole year to comprehend this sword intent before he could initially condense it into a sword pattern, while this guy was able to condense it on his first try?
"Uncle Gai, what's the use of this sword pattern? How can I have it when I don't even have any mental power?" Linfen asked the question that concerned him most at the moment.
"To put it simply, this sword pattern is the culmination of all the intent, resulting in a move that perfectly embodies that intent. This is called sword pattern condensation. It has nothing to do with whether you have mental power, but only with your comprehension!" Gaiyu pondered for a moment, then said. "Don't neglect the cultivation of sword patterns. On this continent, there are people called sword pattern masters. They are powerful beings that ordinary people cannot imagine. Even if a sword pattern master cannot condense even a little bit of mental power, they can still become a strong person!"
"I see." Gaiyu was secretly surprised.
"These sword patterns are so refined that they can easily split mountains and divide rivers. Of course, these sword patterns also vary in strength. Based on the sword patterns that people have ever seen, we have compiled a list of twenty top sword patterns. The rest are basically minor sword patterns. Take the bamboo essence you just grasped, for example. It's the simplest one, and anyone who is well-versed in this art can basically comprehend it. The so-called top twenty of the Sword Pattern Ranking is actually divided according to the difficulty of cultivation. The tenth and subsequent ones are, in order, Sword's Sorrow Intent, Sound's Howling Intent, Thunder's Wrath Intent, Wind's Drifting Intent, Earth's Thickness Intent, Fire's Heat Intent, Water's Gentleness Intent, Wood's Essence Intent, and Metal's Sharpness Intent."
"What about the top ten, Uncle Gai?"
"Sword pattern masters who have mastered the top ten sword patterns are a distant existence. At the very least, they were extremely rare on this continent. The top ten on the list are: Nine Stars Aligned Shattering Souls, Shifting Stars Shattering Heaven and Earth, Eight Sea Directions, Aura Swallowing the Clouds, Battle Spirit, Sky Piercing Sword, Unity of Heaven and Man, Intoxicated Song, Infinite Falling Petals. If these ten sword intents were truly controlled by someone, no matter which one it is, if they had the heart to destroy the heavens, it would surely be a disaster for the continent."
At this point, Gaiyu couldn't help but sigh a few times.
Linfen stared at Gaiyu with wide eyes, his heart surging with emotion. He was deeply shocked by the names of these sword intents. If they were truly as the names suggested, wouldn't the world be at their mercy?
Gaiyu didn't stop and continued, "Besides the Sword Pattern Ranking, there are several other rankings in this world, namely the Divine Weapon Ranking, the Demonic Weapon Ranking, the Medicine Ranking, the Treasure Ranking, and together with the Sword Pattern Ranking, they are known as the Five Great Rankings. All this knowledge is in the books in the inner room. Take a good look at them yourself. Also, read the books about rare and precious materials as well! So you'll be unable to recognize good things when they come along."
Linfen little face flushed red. "Uncle Gai, you finally let me see your precious books! I love you so much!"
With that, Linfen jumped up and ran into the house in a few strides. In no time, she brought out a huge pile of books.
The words "Divine Weapon Ranking" caught Linfen's eye. After staring at them for a long time, Linfen's gaze sharpened, and he asked in confusion, "Uncle, why is there no detailed introduction for the number one weapon on this Divine Weapon Ranking? Even the name is very vague! Look, it's been called Primordial Sword, Destiny Sword, and Reincarnation Sword?"
Gaiyu's expression changed, and a deep sense of apprehension appeared in his eyes. He said to Linfen, "This sword is undoubtedly the number one divine weapon! No one knows where it came from. I only saw it used once, and with just one strike, it wiped out an entire clan!"
"Ah, that powerful?" Linfen's mouth dropped open, even more astonished by the sword!
"Yes. Such a divine weapon, I wonder who will be fortunate enough to possess it," Gaiyu sighed inwardly. "Oh, right, there's one more thing, I'll tell you now too! This continent isn't peaceful right now, you have to be careful everywhere, especially in the east, that place is a real whirlpool, a mixed bag of people, don't set foot in that area when you're not strong enough."
"Why, Uncle Gai?"
"There's no reason why, just remember this: the mainland is currently in a state of turmoil, people's hearts are no longer what they used to be, and we don't know when this will end." Immediately, as if remembering something, Gaiyu casually tossed the clothes she was holding to Linfen. Linfen's expression changed; she felt her good days were about to end. "Linfen, your agility and speed are almost up to par, but your pure strength just won't improve. Now I'm going to focus on training your strength. This garment weighs about 300 kilograms, which is just right for you right now."
Gaiyu looked at the pitiful little Linfen staring at him, but remained unmoved. After spending so much time together, if he still didn't know this guy's character, then he wouldn't be called the Sword God General.
Linfen dragged the heavy clothes out.
"Put it on right now!" Gaiyu roared from afar.
Linfen shrank back and had no choice but to reluctantly put on the heavy, grotesque clothes. As soon as he put it on, he felt as if he was being pressed down. He couldn't move his body at all. His face turned red, and all the muscles in his body tensed up in an instant, with an unhealthy flush appearing on his skin.
"..."
It was unclear what Linfen was saying, but it certainly wasn't anything pleasant. The hellish training of the past four years had left a shadow on his heart. If it weren't for his stubbornness, he probably wouldn't have been able to endure it all! Looking at the distant sunset, he sighed with a bitter smile.
Day after day, year after year. Time flew past.
Three years have passed, and Linfen has grown into a young man. His agility, speed, strength, and flexibility have all improved significantly which left Gaiyu with no faults.
Now, Linfen could carry 600 kilograms of clothes without feeling too strained. Moreover, his understanding of sword intent was even more impressive. Sometimes, it could even give Gaiyu fleeting inspiration. People with pure hearts and spiritual insight were indeed the eyes of heaven.
The small house by the stream was overgrown with weeds, but neither Gaiyu nor Linfen paid any attention to the tall, smelly grass. Three years later, Gaiyu was now more muscular, and although his once-dragon-like muscles were no longer visible, no one doubted the terrifying explosive power within him.

43. The Sea Trial
A dark figure slowly appeared at the doorway. It was a tall, slender young man wearing a red coat. His cold eyes calmly surveyed the surrounding crowd, his face expressionless."Come with me! The hunter assessment is now officially starting. The first thing you need to do is keep up with me, otherwise, there's no point in talking." The three or four hundred people in the room couldn't help but feel a little disdainful and slightly disappointed with the hunter assessment.Even Linfen frowned slightly upon hearing this, but he didn't show it. Since the old alchemist had asked him to participate in this assessment, he must have his own reasons. Linfen pursed his lips and remained silent.Seemingly sensing the commotion in the crowd, the tall, slender young man said calmly, "If anyone wants to leave now, we absolutely will not stop them. However, there may be danger to their lives later on, so we hereby make it clear that we will not be responsible for any danger to their lives." The ma
42. The Stone Hunting City
Stone Hunting City was a large city in the eastern part of the Star Origin Continent. It was considered one of the most important cities in the area. The streets are bustling with people, and the cries of vendors and the conversations of pedestrians create a lively atmosphere. Since the disappearance of the Time-Space lineage, Stone Hunter City had been controlled by so-called hunters. Now, this place could be described as a hunter's paradise. Of course, these hunters were not the same as ordinary hunters. As the hub of Hunter City, this place was definitely not simple. Here, the Hunter Guild, as the nominal master of hunters, had absolute power in this city. Once those laws were promulgated, no one had ever dared to confront them directly. After all, confronting a behemoth like the Hunter Guild would come at a price. "So this is Stone Hunter City? Truly extraordinary!" Linfen said calmly, his eyes filled with undisguised amazement. Compared to the branch cities, this was like co
41. Off To The Stone Hunting City
"Embrace the primordial unity, guard your mind, and do not be disturbed by external things. Imagine yourself within your body, feeling those spiritual forces; you are a part of them." The old alchemist placed his hands on Linfen's back, drawing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to gather on Linfen's body.A burning sensation kept emanating from The old alchemist's hands, and Linfen felt as if his whole body was on fire. He felt like a piece of metal undergoing unparalleled forging.His intuition told him that The old alchemist was doing something very dangerous, but now no one could stop him, and Linfen could only passively endure it all.Beads of sweat dripped from The old alchemist's forehead, his hands trembling slightly as countless intricate miniature arrays coalesced in his palms and were channeled into Linfen's body."Golden Refiner, as a unique cultivation technique, cannot be refined into a human body, otherwise one will suffer unparalleled and severe calamities.

40. The Golden Alchemist [II]
"Alas, it seems you are just like that man. I see his former glory in you, except that he used a knife, while you use a sword, that's all!" The man in black couldn't help but sigh. Thinking of that man, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. He was a genius who achieved the Great Demon True Body, but in the end, his fate was unknown. "I can perfect this Seven Deadly Swords for you, only if you promise me that from now on you will not kill the innocent indiscriminately, and that you will handle all matters with an upright heart. The sword is the chameleon among weapons; if the heart is upright, then it is upright. If the heart is corrupted by demonic influence, it will be a disaster for the world," The man said very seriously. "I will keep your words in mind, senior. I promise." The man took the Seven Absolute Sword from Linfen and placed it horizontally on the table. He then began to form hand seals, and one after another, profound and mysterious incantations appeared from his
39. The Golden Alchemist [I]
Cultivating after pushing one's limits always yielded twice the results with half the effort. A slight smile appeared on Linfen's lips. As he continued to cultivate, because the second meridian, the breast meridian, was blocked, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth could not enter. Therefore, he continuously cleansed and expanded the meridians that were already open throughout his body. Linfen's first meridian was now more than twice the size of an average person's, which was why he possessed such astonishing mental power—all thanks to the continuous expansion of his meridians. Now, as soon as the blockage in his breast meridian was removed, he could immediately enter the second meridian's opening stage, the best proof of his diligent practice. Taking a deep breath, he opened his eyes, which flashed with a dazzling light. The intense cultivation after pushing himself to the limit left him feeling refreshed and invigorated. The surging spiritual energy also made him gasp in s
38. The Heavenly Cliff
Linfen simply laughed off the rumors. Having already survived the near-death experience in the Soul Refining Cave, such danger seemed trivial to him. He arrived at the bottom of the Heavenly Cliff, his eyes slightly narrowed. Yellow sand filled the sky, and the swirling sand and stones moved at high speed under the influence of the whirlwind. From a distance, the bottom of the cliff looked like a yellow circle enveloping the Heavenly Cliff, revealing only a sliver of clarity on the top, shrouded in mist, creating a feeling that was both hellish and heavenly. Linfen took a deep breath, unleashing the full power of his Entangling Technique. Silvery-white mental energy slowly enveloped his entire body as he walked step by step towards the Heavenly Cliff. A powerful impact slammed into Linfen's protective aura, creating ripples. Even with his mental energy pushed to its limit, some sand and gravel still managed to penetrate his defenses, striking his body and causing sharp pain. Linf
