Chapter 689: Swordforce, Stage Five

Ji Ning's eyes were closed.

The many insights he had gained into the sword were continuously merging together. It was like mist being condensed. Finally, with a boom, the mist completely condensed into a 'seed', a seed surrounded by a faint aura of sword-ki. This sword-ki seed was the complete crystallization of all of Ning's insights into the essence of the sword. It was something which he could sense in his heart.

It wasn't something that could be seen with the naked it. It was something that could only be seen and sensed by the heart.

This sword-seed had been planted within Ning's heart.

"Whew." Ning let out a soft breath, then opened his eyes.

The jade shrine had become quiet and peaceful once more. The rainbow-colored sword-light surrounding Ning had vanished as well, and Ning now looked as ordinary as ever. However, his eyes dimly shone with a sharpness that struck fear in the hearts of others.
