A large number of sword cultivators had gathered around the Sword-Cleansing Pond.
Ever since Kitsune had overcome her nine-by-nine heavenly tribulation, many sword cultivators had wanted to imitate her method and cultivate nearby.
The Sword Slayer Peak was greeted by a waterfall of sword energy and endless rumbling. Meanwhile, the Immortal Slayer Emperor's sword intent was behind the peak.
Yun Ting bid farewell to Su Zimo here and returned to Extreme Sword Peak.
Su Zimo followed him around Sword Slayer Peak and arrived at the back of the mountain. The rumbling from the waterfall of sword energy instantly vanished.
Sword Slayer Peak stood like an immortal sword. The front and back of the peak were like two sides of the immortal sword, separated into two different worlds.
There were noticeably fewer sword cultivators behind Sword Slayer Peak.
Generally speaking, only true immortals were allowed to observe the sword intent left behind by the Immortal Slayer Emperor.
It wasn't that the world of swords had purposely set up barriers to make things difficult for sword cultivators, but that cultivators simply couldn't withstand the Immortal Slayer Emperor's sword intent without sufficient cultivation.
Some of the true immortals behind the mountain calmed down and raised their heads slightly, silently sensing the sword scars left behind behind the peak.
The Immortal Slayer Emperor's sword intent of slaughter was all contained within these scars!
"Young friend Su Zhu, there's something I need to tell you in advance," Lu Yun said softly.
"The sword scars on this peak were left behind by the Immortal Slayer Emperor. The sword intent within will greatly impact one's dao heart.
"Even some of the geniuses of Sword Slayer Peak may not be able to sit here for two full hours.
"If you feel that something's wrong and can't take it, don't push yourself. Retreat in time and distance yourself from Sword Slayer Peak. You'll be free of the sword intent's influence."
As soon as he finished speaking, a nearby sword cultivator abruptly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He panted heavily, eyes bloodshot and brimming with killing intent. He'd already lost his mind.
Lu Yun frowned slightly and moved the sword cultivator away with a wave of his sleeve. "If you push yourself so hard when your dao heart is unstable, you'll only suffer for it!"
His words seemed to be a reminder to Su Zimo.
The sword cultivator shuddered, and the blood in his eyes gradually receded. He regained consciousness.
Ashamed, the man struggled to his feet and bowed respectfully to Lu Yun before slowly retreating.
"Little friend Su Zhu, you saw it too."
"I don't know much about you, so I don't know about your dao heart. Little friend, if you did not gain anything from the Slaughter Sword Intent, there is no need to force yourself. Your body is the most important thing. "
Su Zimo smiled and said, "Senior, don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
Lu Yun gave a few more instructions before turning to leave. He soared into the air and arrived at the peak of the mountain.
Su Zimo arrived at the Sword Slaughtering Peak, but he did not sit down. He stood on the spot and looked at the sword marks left by the Immortal Slaying Emperor on the Sword Slaughtering Peak. His heart skipped a beat as he held the Bodhi Bead in his hand.
To him, this was the best opportunity to comprehend the Immortal Slaying Sword. He absolutely could not miss it!
With the Bodhi Bead in hand, his perception and comprehension increased accordingly.
In truth, Su Zimo had been cultivating the three sword arts for longer than Kitsune, and he'd been studying the first ancient scrolls of the three sword arts.
Kitsune possessed a sword-shaped martial soul and was talented in sword dao. Her comprehension of sword dao was unparalleled.
However, she hadn't been exposed to the first ancient scrolls of the three sword arts for long.
Moreover, Su Zimo possessed the body of twelfth rank Fortune realm Qinglian. Whether it was the immortal dao, demonic dao, or buddhist dao, he could integrate them into his own cultivation methods and make them his creations.
The same went for sword dao.
Su Zimo's Immortal Slaying was already at the level of a quasi-supreme combat art.
Add to that the many years he'd spent cultivating the two sword arts and accumulating experience, and now that he'd sensed the sword intent left behind by the Immortal Slaying Emperor, the transformation had come naturally.
Su Zimo himself had mastered many killing techniques.
Not only did he know the three sword arts, but he also knew the White Tiger's Corpse Devourer, a secret art of extreme killing intent.
He was no stranger to the intent of killing.
More importantly, Su Zimo had cultivated the wondrous Yin-Yang Talisman Sutra before!
One had to know that the inspiration for the three sword arts created by the Immortal Slaying Emperor Lord originated from a passage in the Yin-Yang Talisman Sutra.
When the heavens emit killing intent, the stars shift;
When the earth emits killing intent, dragons and snakes rise;
When the heavens emit killing intent, heaven and earth are overturned!
Su Zimo had also read the complete Yin-Yang Talisman Sutra.
His understanding of that passage was not inferior to the Immortal Slaying Emperor Lord!
Coupled with the three sword arts and the killing sword intent left behind by the Immortal Slaying Emperor Lord, it was only a matter of time before Su Zimo comprehended the supreme combat art, Immortal Slaying Sword!
…
On the mountain peak.
"Brother Lu, make a guess. Between Lin Xunzhen, Kitsune, and Yun Ting, who would comprehend the Immortal Slaying Sword first?"
"We've already placed our bets."
Lu Yun shook his head.
"It's not that easy to comprehend a supreme combat art. It'll be very difficult for the three of them to comprehend it in a short amount of time. Who can say for certain something so far away?"
"It'll take thousands, if not tens of thousands of years to determine the victor."
The Elemental Sword Peak master nodded as well. "Brother Lu's words make sense. In my opinion, let's change the bet. It'll be best if we can determine the victor as soon as possible. "
"That's easy."
The Overlord Sword Peak master smiled. "Let's bet on how long Su Zhu can last under the Sword Slayer Peak's sword intent."
"Alright!"
"That's a good idea!"
The eyes of the other peak masters lit up.
The Mirage Sword Peak master said, "If I remember correctly, Lin Xunzhen, Yun Ting, and Kitsune lasted a full six hours before they were forced to withdraw."
"This Su Zhu definitely won't be able to last six hours. He'll have a good dao heart if he can last two hours," said the Greatsword Peak master.
"I'll bet an hour."
"In my opinion, he'll last fifteen minutes at most!"
"You're underestimating him too much. I bet he can last two hours."
The eight peak masters placed their bets and chatted casually as they waited.
Time passed slowly.
Fifteen minutes …
An hour …
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye. Su Zimo was still comprehending and hadn't moved at all.
"We were all wrong."
"It looks like Brother Lu has won."
The peak masters looked at each other and shook their heads with wry smiles.
Of the eight peak masters, only Lu Yun guessed that Su Zimo could last four hours.
In fact, he didn't think much of Su Zimo to begin with.
However, after interacting with Su Zimo just now, his intuition told him that this young man wasn't simple!
Four hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Su Zimo was still comprehending below.
"I didn't expect this kid to last this long."
"We've all made a mistake this time!"
The eight Peak Masters remained relaxed and chuckled softly.
As time passed by, the smiles on the faces of the eight peak masters lessened.
At that moment, six hours had passed and there were still no signs of Su Zimo leaving!
The Eight Peak Masters looked at each other with solemn expressions.
The Five Elements Sword Peak's peak master said, "This kid's dao heart is indeed strong. To think that he's comparable to Lin Xunzhen and the other two!"
The other peak masters remained silent.
Right now, it was no longer a matter of being comparable. If Su Zimo continued comprehending, he would definitely surpass Lin Xunzhen and the other two!
Eight hours passed.
Su Zimo's eyes were still closed and he did not move at all.
Ten hours passed. At that moment, Sword Crafting Peak was shrouded in the darkness of night. However, the eight figures on the peak did not show any signs of fatigue.
All of a sudden!
There was a commotion below.
Su Zimo opened his eyes and moved!
