With the system in place, he had to respond. Without hesitation, he ventured deeper.

With cultivation points as his backing, he didn't need to overthink. He only needed to test the limits of his body's strength amidst this omnipresent storm of sword intent.

As he progressed further, he felt the pressure mounting, with endless sword qi slicing through his body.

Soon, his skin was marked with bloodstains, blood seeping out, but he merely adjusted slightly and continued forward.

It was just skin-deep cuts; compared to when he fused with his physique, this pain was nothing.

A quarter of an hour, half an hour...

Buzz~~

As he walked for an hour, the sword light around Sword Cliff suddenly emitted waves of sword hums, with sword intent surging like a tide.

At this moment, the intensity of sword qi and sword intent suddenly more than doubled.

This caused Lin Yu's consciousness to blur momentarily, as if he were in a sea of swords, with countless blades stabbing at him.

This was no longer limited to his body; even his sea of consciousness was experiencing a storm of sword intent, wantonly slicing his divine sense.

At this point, his body bore deep wounds, down to the bone.

However.

Lin Yu could no longer care about the intense pain in his body.

But at the same time, there was good news: there was 'Void Sword Intent' here, an excellent place to comprehend sword intent and sword techniques at this stage.

'Void Sword Intent', invisible and formless, ignores most defenses, capable of shattering the void above and slashing souls below. Unless a soul is strong enough to withstand it, it can be cut down with a single sword!

This was the system's introduction to 'Void Sword Intent', extremely domineering.

"System, use all cultivation points to comprehend sword intent, and then comprehend sword techniques!"

He sat cross-legged without any hesitation, staking all his cultivation points.

Originally, he came in intending to comprehend one or two powerful sword techniques.

But as he progressed, he realized that sword intent was the foundation of Sword Dao. As long as the sword intent was strong enough and deeply understood, even a simple sword strike, with the support of sword intent, could unleash unimaginable power.

Coupled with the system's suggestion, he directly changed his initial intention.

Focusing on comprehending sword intent, with sword techniques as a supplement.

Buzz buzz~~

With a slight tremor, Lin Yu's state of mind instantly entered an extremely wondrous state.

At this moment, he seemed to forget all the pain on his body, completely immersed in the comprehension of sword intent.

Meanwhile, cultivation points flowed into his body like a surging spring, accelerating his comprehension of the Void Sword Intent.

As time passed, an invisible pressure gradually emanated from Lin Yu, growing stronger and more shocking.

His gaze became increasingly profound, as if he could see through the void.

At this moment, his hands unknowingly began to move.

He used his fingers as a sword, drawing illusory sword lights in the void, each strike carrying a fierce momentum, leaving behind tiny void rifts.

These void rifts, though small, contained endless power, appearing extremely terrifying.

No one knew how much time had passed before Lin Yu slowly opened his eyes.

In an instant, an incredibly sharp sword light shot out from his eyes, slicing through the void like lightning.

"Void Sword Intent", achieved!

And that wasn't all.

The moment the 'Void Sword Intent' was comprehended, a corresponding sword intent secret art---'Void Annihilation Strike'---suddenly emerged in his mind.

Indeed, it was a sword intent secret art, not a sword technique.

Moreover, it was a secret art that matched the 'Void Sword Intent'.

The remaining cultivation points quickly assisted Lin Yu in comprehending this sword intent secret art.

Various flashes of insight appeared in his mind, making him feel as if he had entered a state of enlightenment.

No one knew how long it took before this feeling slowly faded.

Lin Yu emerged from his comprehension.

A faint hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

"System, open the attribute panel."

Combat Power Evaluation: Half-Step Golden Elixir (Relative to ordinary cultivators, for reference only)

Damn, terrifying!

Seeing these attributes, Lin Yu couldn't help but curse in excitement.

Sword intent secret arts are indeed not as simple as Heaven Grade.

The moment he initiated the secret art, he felt its terrifying nature, and a suspicion arose in his heart.

He didn't expect it to be true.

Secret arts are generally much more powerful than combat techniques of the same grade.

Because the conditions for comprehending secret arts are more stringent.

Just like 'Void Annihilation Strike', it is a secret art compatible with Void Sword Intent, and only those who have comprehended Void Sword Intent are qualified to comprehend it.

Yes, it's just a qualification, whether one can successfully comprehend it depends on one's level of insight!

'Void Annihilation Strike', a secret art that increases the attack strength of Void Sword Intent, enhances the original attack strength by nearly eight times.

And this is just the initiation stage; as comprehension deepens, the attack multiplier will increase.

This is why it can reach the level of a Saint Grade secret art.

It's important to know that a cultivator's combat power is fundamentally derived from their cultivation level, though personal physique can cause this foundation to vary, which is the difference between a genius and an ordinary person.

To enhance combat power on this foundation, one can only rely on combat techniques, secret arts, and some external aids, like weapons.

But even Saint Grade combat techniques at the initiation stage can only increase the base attack by 1-2 times, while secret arts can increase it more.

The key is that Lin Yu's enhancement is a secondary enhancement.

Because using artistic conception attacks is already an enhancement, and artistic conception can strengthen each strike.

'Void Annihilation Strike', being a secret art compatible with Void Sword Intent, can perform a secondary enhancement after using sword intent.

This is why he could elevate his combat power to Half-Step Golden Elixir with just initiation-level sword intent and secret arts.

Lin Yu was quite satisfied with this trip to Sword Cliff, though he found it strange that the sword intent he comprehended was different from the one Ye Xuan, the Son of Destiny in the original book, comprehended.

In the original book, Ye Xuan comprehended Destruction Sword Intent.

But upon reflection, it made sense; this was the battlefield left by two peerless Sword Immortals, and the system mentioned that there were two types of attribute sword intents here.

What one could comprehend depended entirely on one's compatibility.
