Chapter 12788: The Promotion of Soul Sword Intent

The old man took the ring and checked it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he took out an exquisite receipt with the unique logo of Tianxiahui and detailed information of the transaction printed on it.

He handed the bill to Ling Xiao and said solemnly: "Mr. Ou, please keep this bill safe.

At that time, we will only recognize the receipt and not the person. Only after seeing the receipt will we hand over the fifth-grade holy pattern array to you."

Ling Xiao took the bill, checked it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he put it in his arms.

He felt a little relieved. With this bill, at least he didn't have to worry about his things being taken away by someone else. He confirmed the transaction details with the old man again, and after making sure they were correct, he turned around and left the trading hall.

Walking out of the gate of Tianxiahui, Ling Xiao took a deep breath of fresh air and felt a little better.

He knew that he had more important tasks to complete and could not waste too much time here. So he quickened his pace and returned to the cemetery, ready to continue his training and plan.

In the cemetery, Ling Xiao was alone, immersed in a solemn and peaceful atmosphere.

Wandering souls were floating around, and they seemed to be unaware of the existence of the young cultivator, just wandering around in this gloomy space. For Ling Xiao, this place was not only the resting place of the dead, but also a perfect place for him to practice soul sword intent.

He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and began to immerse himself in cultivation. The wandering souls in the cemetery were a rare aid to the cultivation of soul sword intent. The weak soul fluctuations they emitted provided Ling Xiao with a continuous supply of cultivation resources.

Practicing here will undoubtedly be twice as effective with half the effort.

Ling Xiao knew that Soul Sword Intent was an extremely powerful soul attack method. Once cultivated to perfection, the power it could instantly explode would be enough to scare the enemy. It could not only attack the enemy's body, but also directly attack the enemy's soul, causing fatal damage.

This type of attack is extremely covert and the enemy often finds it difficult to guard against it. Even if they block it, they cannot completely resist its terrifying destructive power.

However, Ling Xiao was not satisfied with the status quo. He knew that although the soul sword intent was already quite destructive, it was still slightly inferior to the sword intent. The sword intent's unparalleled and indestructible characteristics shocked him deeply.

Then, a bold idea emerged in his mind - could the soul sword intent be improved and the essence of the sword intent and the sword intent be integrated? Once this idea appeared, it spread in his mind like wildfire.

He knew that this was a challenging road. To combine two completely different artistic conceptions together required not only extremely high talent and understanding, but also countless attempts and failures.

But Ling Xiao was not afraid of these difficulties. On the contrary, he felt an unprecedented excitement and excitement.

He began to devote himself to the research, constantly trying various methods to try to find the key to merge the soul sword intent and the knife intent.

In this process, he encountered countless failures and setbacks, but he never gave up. Every failure made him more determined in his belief, and every setback made him cherish the joy of success more.

Ling Xiao, this gifted practitioner, already possessed two extremely powerful martial souls on the road of cultivation - the God-Slaying Sword Soul and the Bloodthirsty Knife Soul.

These two martial spirits represent the sharpness of the sword and the domineering of the knife respectively. When he uses the two at the same time, the artistic conception formed is as fierce as a storm, enough to scare any enemy.

He had a bold idea in his mind, which was to merge the artistic conception of these two martial souls to create an unprecedented powerful force. He believed that the power of this fused artistic conception might surpass the soul sword intent displayed by the former Demon Soul King and become a legend in the cultivation world.

However, the road of cultivation is never smooth. In the blink of an eye, seven days passed. During these seven days, Ling Xiao devoted almost all of his mind to the research of martial soul fusion.

He kept trying and failing, but never gave up. Every failure made him understand the characteristics of the two martial spirits more deeply and strengthened his belief.

Although Ling Xiao has made tremendous efforts, he still failed to completely integrate the artistic conception of the two martial spirits.

However, he did not gain nothing in these seven days. He realized a new state of mind - the soul sword.

This state of mind is more domineering than the Soul Sword Intent, and its destructive power is even more amazing, as if it can tear apart all obstacles. However, its release speed and penetration ability are not as swift and subtle as the Soul Sword Intent.

Ling Xiao stood in the cemetery, holding a long sword in his hand, with a determined light in his eyes. He tried to release the soul sword intent and soul knife intent at the same time, hoping to reach a new realm through the complementarity of the two.

However, although he was able to display these two artistic conceptions at the same time, there was always an insurmountable gap between them and they could not be truly integrated.

"After all, I am still one step away." Ling Xiao sighed softly, but his eyes were shining with an unyielding light. He knew that he was still some distance away from true success, but he also believed that as long as he did not give up, he would be able to find a way to integrate the two artistic conceptions one day.

"Time is running out, let's go to the trading house first to check out the situation." Ling Xiao stood up, feeling a little bit of anticipation in his heart. It was already the seventh day, and according to the agreement between him and the old man, the fifth-grade holy pattern formation diagram should have been returned.

He left the cemetery, crossed the street, and walked towards the trading house. The trading house was located in the bustling commercial district of the city, with people coming and going, and it was very lively. Ling Xiao walked into the trading house, his eyes swept through the bustling crowd, looking for the figure of the old man.

However, he did not see the old man in the lobby of the trading house. Ling Xiao was a little confused. Didn't the old man return as agreed? He looked around, trying to find out the whereabouts of the old man from other people.

"Young man, is there anything I can help you with?" A woman in a light blue dress came over and asked with a smile.

"I'm here to find an old man named Ming. Is he here?" Ling Xiao asked.

"Oh, you're looking for Master Ming." The woman suddenly realized, "Master Ming went to the East China Sea a few days ago to deal with some urgent matters and hasn't returned yet. If you have something urgent to talk to him about, I can help you pass it on."

Ling Xiao frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy. He had waited for seven days, but the old man was not there, which made him feel a little disappointed.

He looked coldly into the depths of the trading house and said calmly, "Since Elder Ming is not here, just return the 300,000 advance payment I paid to me. I will go buy it somewhere else."
