Chapter 573 Her Own Path [2]
"Xin Yan, I want you to stand beside me, proud of your strength, securing my back as I prevent anyone from approaching yours." Just thinking of the notion of fighting with their backs against each other made Xin Yan's heart flutter and her legs weaken.
But as she was about to delve deeper into her daydreams, something inside of her soul shone.

Xin Yan's eyes narrowed as she felt a connection with something inside the sword realm.
An aura even more terrifying than the Slaughtering Sword intent appeared beneath her feet.
Since the others were focusing on their own work, they failed to sense anything, but Xin Yan trembled as she recognized these new energies.
Yes!
Not one but two intents reached out to Xin Yan!
Unlike the unrestrained and unbridled aura from the Slaughtering Sword intent, these auras were very different.
She felt subtle traces of coldness right under her feet. Blue strings of sword intent emerged out of nowhere and showed their affinity with the Ice Laws Xin Yan had learned and come to understand in her life.
Instinctively, a name appeared in her mind as she tried to probe the sword intent.
Blizzard Sky Sword Intent.
'I think it was ranked fourth on the Power Intent List. But the list is only what gives you a rough understanding of the basics of these intents. They cannot be relied on for the real ranking.'
Xin Yan could not help but wonder if the list was a little unreliable. Only those who cultivate the intent to perfection should compete for the rankings.
'But to think I would be able to resonate with this sword intent,' her expression turned odd for a while before returning to normal. 'Although this power used to be something I craved before, right now, I am only going to use it to achieve my goal.'
Even the greatest geniuses focused on cultivating one or two sword intents. After all, having too many sword intents might hinder one's path and mess up their mind.
Xin Yan was also having doubts about which path to choose, but when she looked at the rose-gold strands circling around her body under the water, a hint of determination flashed through her mind.
Her back straightened as Xin Yan looked ahead at the stone stele in the distance.
As she moved on the water's surface, the strands beneath the water moved along with her.
With slow and steady steps, she advanced through the water and slowly grasped the understanding of each sword intent.
Each strand glowed with its colors as they came closer and closer to her, and her understanding of them grew deeper.
By the time Xin Yan stopped moving, she noticed that she was only a step away from the stele.
She remembered Noah telling her that the stele works like a marker. If you want to follow already established sword intents, it would show the name of the intent on it the moment you stand beside it.
But if you want to carve your own sword dao, you have to slash it with your sword intent, carving the name of your dao on it so that the dao gets recognized by the laws of heaven and earth.
Xin Yan closed her eyes and slowly recalled the underlying essence of each sword intent.
'Killing anyone you want, cutting down anything and everything. The path of slaughter is not just cutting opponents but even cutting open the heavens... disgusting!'
Xin Yan muttered to herself as a strand of blood-red thread rose from the water and reached out to her hand.
'Blizzard, the snowstorm, covering everything with snow, the sky as the canvas and the snow as the brush. The sword intent that manifests ice and snow to follow your intent.'
Xin Yan continued as the icy blue strand also broke through the surface of the water and rose through the air.
'And lastly, the reflection of the heart...'
