"Damn it! Disciples with better aptitude like us can't even enter the Hidden Sword Pagoda. Instead, someone with no aptitude for Sword Principle can enter!"
"There's nothing we can do about it. Who asked him to be so good at refining weapons? I heard that after Swordsman Li Sheng auctioned off ten Dharma Robes, many female disciples were in an uproar. Now, countless people have gathered in front of his cave residence, waiting for the second auction!"
"I, Ren Xianchen, ranked 64th in this assessment. Yet, I can only watch as a blacksmith enters the Hidden Sword Pagoda to comprehend Sword Principle. It's really unfair!"
"Junior Brother Ren, don't talk nonsense. Otherwise, the deacons or elders on patrol will punish you. The rules of our Dao Sword Heavenly Sect have been passed down since the founding of the Sword Ancestor. There's absolutely no immutable Dao!"
"Ren Xianchen is too reckless. However, during the Sword Hall Competition, don't let me meet Swordsman Li Sheng. Otherwise, I'll use my Sword Principle to humiliate him. I'll let him know that Sword Principle reigns supreme in the Dao Sword Heavenly Sect. The Way of Refining weapons is useless!"
"Junior Brother Xianchen, your Sword Principle talent is actually not inferior to the top three in the assessment. As long as you can comprehend a Sword Principle within this period of time, you will definitely shine in the Sword Hall Competition!"
"Thank you for your encouragement, Senior Brother!"
…
"Ren Xianchen? Haha! "
Although Luo Zheng was walking towards the Hidden Sword Pagoda, he could hear the discussions around him. He smiled slightly and walked into the Hidden Sword Pagoda.
As soon as he entered the Hidden Sword Pagoda, Luo Zheng discovered that the space inside the pagoda was extremely large. Moreover, the entire pagoda was hollow. There were no partitions in the hundred thousand feet tall pagoda. He could directly see the top of the pagoda.
On the four walls of the Hidden Sword Pagoda, there were sword-shaped doors. He could see that these doors were not closed. At a glance, he could only see white fog lingering inside. Even if he used the Eye of the Wood Emperor, he could not see through the fog!
"Senior Brother, may I ask how can I obtain the Sword Principle in the Hidden Sword Pagoda?"
Luo Zheng looked around for a while and found that there was no one to guide or guard the Hidden Sword Pagoda. Just as he was confused, a disciple came in and quickly asked.
"Every door hides a different sword technique. When you reach the door, you will naturally know the sword techniques hidden in the door. The higher the position of the door, the higher the grade of the sword technique, and the higher the contribution points required. In short, you will understand after experiencing it for yourself!"
The disciple seemed to be impatient. After hurriedly leaving a sentence, he flew up into the sky and entered a door in the Hidden Sword Tower.
Luo Zheng heard him muttering to himself before he entered the door. "This is the third time. It wasn't easy for me to gather 40,000 contribution points. This time, I must completely understand the Green Ren Shadowless Sword Mantra!"
"The Azure Lunar Shadowless Sword Mantra is so profound, yet I wasn't confident in comprehending it after three tries. Moreover, it costs 40,000 contribution points each time. Doesn't that mean that it'll cost 120,000 contribution points?"
Luo Zheng couldn't help but click his tongue. Although he had only refined 10 Upper Grade Doctrine Artifacts and earned more than 60,000 contribution points, 120,000 contribution points was not a small number.
With a thought, he landed in front of the lowest door and immediately sensed a message being transmitted to his Spirit Sea.
"White Moon Revival Sword Technique! Ninth Grade Divine Level Sword Technique. Time to comprehend: 10 days. Contribution points required: 10,000! "
"Five Raging Dragon Sword Mantra! Eighth Grade Divine Level Sword Technique. Time to comprehend: 10 days. Contribution points required: 20,000! "
"Wind-Breaking Thousand-Blade Spirit Extinguishing Sword Mantra! Seventh Grade Divine Level Sword Technique. Time to comprehend: 10 days. Contribution points required: 40,000! "
Luo Zheng gradually flew up to the door at the highest point. All kinds of information were continuously transmitted into his mind.
In addition to the most basic information, there were detailed introductions of various sword techniques, their power characteristics, and so on.
He realized that it was just as the disciple had said. The higher the level of the door, the higher the level of swordsmanship it contained. The contribution points required to enter the door to comprehend the swordsmanship would also increase. Every time one's swordsmanship improved, the contribution points required would double.
For example, if one wanted to comprehend a Sixth Grade Divine Level Sword Technique, he would need 80,000 contribution points each time and he would only be able to do so for 10 days.
If he couldn't comprehend the sword technique in the door within 10 days, he would have to spend another 80,000 contribution points to enter again!
Moreover, Luo Zheng realized that he could only fly up to half the height of the Hidden Sword Pagoda. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't fly up the remaining height. It was as if there was an invisible restrictive force that had sealed the entire space.
"It seems that an outer sect disciple can only obtain a Sixth Grade Divine Level Sword Technique at most. If I want to cultivate a Sixth Grade Divine Level Sword Technique, I would probably need to become an inner sect disciple to be qualified to cultivate it!"
Luo Zheng understood after thinking for a while.
After all, the core sword techniques of the Dao Sword Heavenly Sect couldn't be casually taught to outsiders. Otherwise, it would have fallen apart long ago.
"Let's see if there are any sword techniques below Sixth Grade Divine Level Sword Techniques that can resolve the drawbacks of my Sword Principle …"
Luo Zheng stopped in front of a door. After a while, he shook his head and walked to the next door.
"No, no, still no!"
"No, this sword technique can only fuse five types of power at most!" "It's too difficult. Although the sword techniques fused in the Mind Expelling Sword Technique don't contain 3,000 Great Ways and 100,000 Rules of Order, there are at least thousands of power attributes that restrain and cancel each other out. To resolve this drawback, I'm afraid that a sword technique below Sixth Grade Divine Level Sword Technique can't do it."
!”
In the Hidden Sword Pagoda, there were 70,000 to 80,000 types of sword techniques below Sixth Grade Divine Level Sword Techniques.
However, the more Luo Zheng looked at the sword techniques, the more his heart sank.
He found that although many of the sword techniques were extremely terrifying and powerful, and could easily destroy the world, they couldn't resolve the problem of his Sword Principle at all.
In the blink of an eye, more than 20 days had passed, but Luo Zheng still had nothing to show for it.
"It seems that I can't use my Contribution Points even if I want to!"
Luo Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly. Among all his sword techniques, the most powerful one, the Divine Tide Sword Technique, was only Eighth Grade Divine Level Sword Technique.
Now, there were countless sword techniques in front of him that were far more powerful than the Divine Tide Sword Technique, but he couldn't cultivate them.
This feeling was extremely uncomfortable. It was a hundred times more painful than when he broke through to the Minor Void-breaking Realm!
"If I don't consider resolving the drawbacks of my sword techniques, and fuse all these sword techniques into the Mind Expelling Sword Technique, I wonder what the result will be?"
Luo Zheng couldn't help but think about it.
However, after thinking for a while, he shook his head.
It would be too crazy to do that.
Most of the sword techniques fused into the Mind Expelling Sword Technique were only Dao Level, but it had already caused such a huge drawback.
If tens of thousands of Divine Level Sword Techniques were fused, it would be too terrifying. Even if Luo Zheng cultivated to the Emperor God realm, he wouldn't be able to resolve it.
Moreover, there were 70,000 to 80,000 types of sword techniques below Sixth Grade Divine Level Sword Techniques. How much time and contribution points would it take to fully comprehend all of them?
"It's useless to stay any longer. I'd better get out of the Hidden Sword Pagoda first and see if the optical supercomputer can piece the slates together in the Hidden Sword Pagoda space!"
