Path of Absolute Transcendence

After killing the giant ape, Kai decided to look for another beast. His original plan was to stay in the demon forest for only a week, but he decided to extend his stay for a month to experience battle and wildlife survival skills.

After battling three more beasts, he decided to call it a day. He searched for a suitable place to stay the night. He did not find a place near any water source since it might be a hotspot for beasts.

After searching for two hours, Kai found a very hidden cave around the bushes and decided to make it his for the month that he would be staying here.

'This cave is not bad, and it is a good hide spot.' thought Kai.

Kai slept in the cave and woke up very early in the morning. He searched for a beast to fight after finishing his breakfast. He already stored his daily necessities in his stronger ring. So, he did not have to hunt for food.

A week had passed since Kai started training in the demon forest. His abilities become visible to the naked eye. The most obvious one would be his swordsmanship. He had already reached the peak of the sword-beginning realm during his training with Alex.

It has been more than five years, Kai has not been able to break through since he did not concentrate on the sword. After his awakening, he only cultivated the Qi path and forgot about the sword path.

The sword master realm is the second stage of the sword path, and due to being a minor path, it will not give him any benefits other than increasing his sword strength. Kai had to master his sword intent if he wanted to break through.

Kai is now standing on top of a rock with his eyes closed. He is trying to figure out his intention for wielding the sword. That intention will become his sword intent, if it is a greater ambition, then the sword intent will be stronger. If the intention is small, the sword's intent will be weak.

The necessary condition for breaking into this realm is staying true to your heart. Ultimately, the strength of the sword's intent depends on the user's heart.

'Why should I use a sword as my weapon ?' thought Kai. His reason for wielding a sword is very simple, he wants to look handsome, and he has had a special love for swords since childhood.

'It seems my reason for using the sword is very simple' thought Kai. He read a book in the scripture pavilion that says, "A sword cultivator must only think about wielding swords to become stronger ".

"That kind of view is a bit extreme for me. I only need a useful tool that is capable of annihilating everything in my path. " Kai muttered to himself.

He did not want to depend on the sword to become stronger. His [Freedom Scripture] pursues absolute freedom without any limitations, so how can he be limited by having a sword in his heart? So Kai decided to use his desire as a base for sword intent.

With this plan in mind, Kai decided to implement it immediately. A small amount of aura appeared around him, but it was in an unstable state. It appeared sometimes and disappeared sometimes.

After some time, the aura becomes more stable.

*TINGGH*

A sound appeared, and the aura around Kai formed completely. The aura is changing every moment; sometimes it looks harmless, sometimes it looks very sharp and even capable of utter destruction.

'It seems my sword intent is better than I thought.' thought Kai. He only had the idea of forming an intent that was capable of annihilating everything, but he formed an intent that was capable of transforming into anything he desired.

Kai did not know that the change in the sword intent was related to his will path. His sword intent is almost a miniature version of his will manifestation ability, and it also has limitless potential.

'I should test my sword intent today, thought Kai. He started looking for a beast. It seems today is his lucky day; he found a beast after looking for a few minutes.

'So it's a thunderclaw bear, it should give me some trouble, but it is manageable.' thought Kai. The thunderclaw bear has thunder elemental power and its bloodline is also high. Its speed and strength are very high and it has almost no weakness.

It attacked Kai as soon as it saw him. Its claw is coated with thunder, Strike down at him. Kai saw the incoming strike since he was already prepared.

He dodged using the phantom step and appeared behind the bear, but it seemed the bear had eyes on his back also, so it attacked him the very moment Kai appeared behind.

Kai was surprised by the reflexes of the bear but dodged the attack since he had already activated his soul perception. He was able to see the movement and continued to dodge all the attacks.

Thunder suddenly appeared all over the body of the bear; its strength and speed increased more than twofold.

'It seems I have to take this battle seriously.' thought Kai. He activated his sword intent, and a very sharp aura appeared around his sword.

The bear became alert, sensing the aura from the sword, and did not fight in close combat.

"Do you think I will let you do as you want ?" Kai asked. He used his heart control ability to make his blood run faster. His entire physical strength increased due to this, and he started an offense against it.

The bear can only defend passively, but a lot of blood marks appear on its body.

"It seems your defense is not strong enough," Kai said in a mocking tone. The bear has enough intelligence to understand his words, but it does not fall for his trick.

Kai used his phantom steps to further increase his speed, and he started attacking more aggressively.

"It seems you aren't able to handle my speed. " Kai said, and he activated his Will Manifestation. Both sword intent and willpower fused into something more dangerous.

The bear became scared and tried to escape from Kai.

"Do you think I will let you go ?" He used his willpower from the Will Path and increased his power.

Kai appeared in front of the bear and casually swung his sword. It seems like a simple sword, but it has an intangible aura that is capable of annihilating everything that appears on it. Only the bear experienced the true terror of the sword. Its body split into halves, and blood splattered everywhere.

But the terror on its face did not disappear, even after death.

'It seems the fusion of will and sword intent is very scary. I almost lost control of it.' thought Kai. The fusion power of both energies reached a scary level, and both energies are in their rudimentary form.

Kai started searching for other beasts to familiarize himself with sword intent. He continued to battle over the next period, and his control over sword intent became very strong. He is now able to freely manipulate them, but he is not able to control the fusion power of the sword or willpower.

A month had passed since Kai came to the demon forest, and he started preparing to go back to the sect. He still had to obtain information about the origin grade variant body and needs to plan about changing his cultivation talent.

If Kai did not break the limit of his talent, breaking into the supreme realm would be a question, let alone fighting for destiny to become emperor. Even if he had Eternal Breathing talent, it would only speed up his cultivation according to his talent. So Kai must break the limit of talent.

After traveling for a week, Kai arrived at the sect. It took him a week because he went to visit cities in between the paths. As soon as he arrived inside the sect, he heard the voice of the disciples of the outer sect.

"Do you know where the coronation of the Holy Son will take place officially?" asked a passerby.

"Yeah, it will take place in the Master Hall next week." replied another passerby.

'So, the coronation will start next week. I have a chance to meet.' thought Kai. He did not have any attraction towards the holy son, but he had an interest in his variant physique.

Yang Wudi is still not officially the holy son according to the rules of the sect( The name of the holy son is Yang Wudi). He needs to pass the test from the founder to become the holy son, but nobody doubts that he will fail, so they just call him the holy son whenever they see him.

Kai did not care anything about the holy son other than his variant physique. So he went to his room and started training his talent. During the trip to the Demon Forest, his will path progressed a lot due to experience. So he decided to cultivate the Qi path, to make it equal to the Will path.

His battle experience also increased a lot, and he also gained an idea for his first move in [Freedom Scripture]
