Given Chu Qinghe's understanding of sword intent and his current level of swordsmanship, mastering a new sword intent would not be difficult.
In just about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, this sword intent of annihilation was successfully nurtured using the method of sword intent seed.
After successfully generating sword intent, Chu Qinghe turned his attention to the wooden carving in his hand that originally contained the sword moves of the "Fifteen Deadly Swords".
Although it was said to be sealed away, in reality, Chu Qinghe simply incorporated the sword moves of the "Fifteen Deadly Swords" into the carving process using wood carving techniques.
In other words, every mark on the wooden carving in Chu Qinghe's hand at this moment belongs to the sword moves of "Fifteen Deadly Swords".
As Chu Qinghe picked up the wooden carving engraved with the sword techniques of "Fifteen Deadly Swords," a system notification popped up the moment his gaze fell upon it.
[Ding, information processing and reading complete.]
[Ding! Detected a top-tier Heavenly Rank martial art – "Fifteen Deadly Swords". Would you like to learn it?]
Faced with the system's prompt, Chu Qinghe quickly changed his mind and selected "Confirm".
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully learned the Heavenly Rank High-Grade martial art, "Fifteen Deadly Swords".]
[Ding! Host's comprehension level has been detected to be "One in Ten Thousand". Mastery level of "Fifteen Deadly Swords" has automatically increased to "Proficient".]
Two system notification sounds appeared in succession.
The next instant, just like before, a small figure appeared in Chu Qinghe's mind, rapidly practicing the martial art "Fifteen Deadly Swords".
During the process, Chu Qinghe's understanding of the "Fifteen Deadly Swords" also continued to improve.
However, unlike in the past when Chu Qinghe's expression remained unchanged while practicing martial arts.
This time, as Chu Qinghe recalled the "Fifteen Deadly Swords" in his mind, the sword intent of annihilation and true qi in his body involuntarily emerged from his dantian and flowed through his meridians along a special route and frequency.
As his true energy and the sword intent of annihilation circulated, a strange sense of violence and even killing intent began to grow in Chu Qinghe's heart.
To put it in one person's words, "I'm really angry right now!"
However, for Chu Qinghe, although this violent feeling was somewhat obvious, it only existed on the surface. Even though he was a little angry, it did not have much impact on Chu Qinghe himself.
Gradually, as the frequency of the annihilation sword intent and true qi circulation within Chu Qinghe's body became smoother, an indescribable chill began to spread from Chu Qinghe's body.
At the same time, noticing the special aura emanating from Chu Qinghe's body, Shuimu Yinji, who had been quietly admiring Chu Qinghe, suddenly changed her expression.
"No! This is murderous intent devouring the heart?"
The moment she sensed something was wrong, Jellyfish Yin Ji channeled her true energy and instantly flashed in front of Chu Qinghe.
Similarly, Qu Feiyan and the other two women also heard the words that Shui Mu Yin Ji had just uttered in astonishment.
In an instant, all three women opened their eyes and looked at Chu Qinghe.
Although Jellyfish Yin Ji had moved to Chu Qinghe's side, looking at Chu Qinghe with his eyes closed and his whole body exuding a cold aura, Jellyfish Yin Ji raised her hand but did not know where to start.
Seeing that Jellyfish Yin Ji looked solemn and somewhat flustered, Qu Feiyan and the other girls immediately sensed that something was wrong and quickly surrounded her.
Just as the panic on Jellyfish Yin Ji's face deepened, Chu Qinghe's voice suddenly rang out.
"Don't worry, it's alright!"
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe slowly opened his eyes.
The moment Chu Qinghe opened his eyes, the sword intent of annihilation and the flowing true energy within his body returned to his lower and middle dantians respectively, as if the tide were receding.
At the same time, the cold and terrifying aura emanating from Chu Qinghe also quickly dissipated.
Seeing Chu Qinghe regain his usual gentle demeanor, the panic on Jellyfish Yin Ji's face finally subsided.
After confirming that Chu Qinghe was alright, Qu Feiyan finally asked, "Sister Situ, what is 'killing intent devouring the heart'?"
In response to Qu Feiyan's question, Shuimu Yinji said in a deep voice: "There are two types of qi deviation in the martial arts world. The first type is the reversal of meridians and the violent outburst of true qi, just like the reversal of meridians I experienced before."
"The second type is the more troublesome killing intent that devours the heart."
Knowing that Qu Feiyan and the other two women were unaware of these things, Shuimu Yinji continued, "Killing Intent Devouring the Heart refers to an excessive amount of killing intent in one's body, which affects one's mind and ultimately turns one into a puppet who only knows how to kill. It's like soldiers in the army who go insane after killing too many people on the battlefield. In the martial arts world, some people call this condition 'becoming a demon.'"
After understanding what "killing intent devouring the heart" meant, Qu Feiyan asked curiously, "But you haven't killed many people, so why did your killing intent become so strong just now?"
In response, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "The impact of a martial art."
Qu Feiyan, standing nearby, exclaimed in astonishment, "Martial arts can also drive someone to madness?"
Chu Qinghe said calmly, "The process of cultivating certain special martial arts techniques can lead to this situation."
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe explained, "All diseases originate from qi. Anger causes qi to rise, joy causes qi to relax, grief causes qi to dissipate, fear causes qi to descend, and cold causes qi to contract. The human body is complex and mysterious, and different acupoints and meridians have unique effects."
"Just as 'the Tanzhong point is the official position of the ministers, from which joy and happiness arise,' if the Qi in the Tanzhong point flows smoothly, anger will subside; if the Qi stagnates, anger will arise instantly."
"This is why most martial arts internal energy circulation routes follow the visible meridians rather than the hidden meridians, precisely because there are concerns about unclear effects during the circulation."
