Qin Wentian glanced at Shan Lengqiu. (Spar?)
He smiled. When they formed the alliance, he already understood that the so-called alliance was merely a way for the weak to protect themselves by relying on the strong. Such an alliance was extremely fragile before benefits. When they formed the alliance, because of Shan Lengqiu's identity, everyone in the alliance was fawning over him. This Shan Lengqiu himself was also an extraordinary character and in addition to his identity, he was naturally extremely proud.
Hence, when Shan Lengqiu raised a different opinion, he treated it as a provocation and suggested a spar.
Qin Wentian calmly shook his head. He stared ahead and didn't say anything more. His pride wasn't like Shan Lengqiu's, he couldn't tolerate the different opinions of others. He had his own comprehensions and if Shan Lengqiu also insisted on his point of view, what did that have to do with him? Could it be that if someone had a different opinion, he would have to spar with them to prove that he was right?
Naturally, the reason why Shan Lengqiu would act this way was because he viewed himself too highly. If he knew that Tianwen was none other than Qin Wentian, he might be able to tolerate Tianwen's different opinions. Now that he was angered, it was only because he felt that Qin Wentian didn't have the qualifications to question his comprehensions in public. This was especially so in front of a beauty. Even if Shan Lengqiu didn't display too much passion for Murong Xiaoxiao, being admired by a beauty would still be able to satisfy his vanity. He naturally wouldn't want to lose face.
"Brother Shan, how can he spar with you? Why do you care about his opinion?" Yi Lian spoke at this moment. As for the other four from the Four Desolate Palaces, they fell silent and watched quietly. At the same time, they were pondering over the words spoken by Qin Wentian and Shan Lengqiu earlier.
From the surface, it seemed that Shan Lengqiu was right. However, if one pondered deeply, Qin Wentian's words weren't wrong. Since humans could control their own energy without harming themselves, did this mean that energy itself was controllable? There was no absolute. Could the true origin source of law exist in many different forms?
The more one thought about it, the more they would feel a trace of comprehension. It was just that they had no way to grasp it.
Even so, they still wouldn't express their support for Qin Wentian.
The sword river continued flowing. In the depths of the abyss ahead, sword intent could be faintly felt, flowing against the current. This caused the gazes of everyone to stiffen as their immortal senses probed the depths of the abyss. In an instant, the eyes of many narrowed as someone exclaimed in shock, "There's someone there!"
Someone actually appeared in the abyss.
Numerous sharp gazes turned downwards, only to see a silhouette slowly ascending. The sword river flowed against the current, converging with the sword river that was flowing downwards. After that, the sword river shot out in all directions.
"Puchi …" A crisp sound rang out. One of them lowered his head and stared at his chest. There, numerous holes could be seen. It was as though a stream of water had flowed through his body, leaving behind these holes. After which, fresh blood flowed out of the holes, resembling flowing water.
"Ah!" That person let out a miserable howl as he retreated explosively. In an instant, numerous silhouettes hurriedly retreated with fear on their faces. The sword qi river that was like water splashing in all directions seemed gentle and formless, yet it contained a terrifying destructive power.
This seemed to prove Shan Lengqiu's words earlier. Maybe the form of a sword could be changed, but the innate essence of a sword was incomparably sharp. There was no sword that wouldn't kill.
However, when they stared at the silhouette that appeared in the abyss again, this conclusion seemed to be overturned. Qin Wentian's words seemed to be correct. That person was immersed in the sword river and didn't use any energy to resist it. The sword river flowed through his body slowly, resembling real water droplets, terrifying to the extreme.
"Is this the sword intent he released himself?" Shan Lengqiu retreated as he spoke. However, he felt that he was lying to himself. That sword intent was clearly something that was naturally formed, a product of the taotie mine. It was an external source of power but when your cultivation base was strong enough, it seemed that you could really change its form, causing the sword to become gentler.
"Seems like one would be able to do this after comprehending the origin of laws." Qin Wentian mumbled. He glanced at Shan Lengqiu, "In that case, the Skyair Empyrean would be able to do this as well. Didn't he tell you about this before?"
Shan Lengqiu's expression stiffened as his countenance grew increasingly unsightly.
"Yeah, sometimes, you have to comprehend it yourself. Only then would it truly be yours. If I told you directly, you might end up in a predicament. Although you know about it, you wouldn't be able to comprehend it. Since that's the case, you might as well comprehend it directly. I'm sure the Skyair Empyrean must have told you many times to sense his strength, right?" Qin Wentian sighed. His tone was calm, he didn't exude any arrogance. He was contemplating in his heart as he immersed himself in his own insights.
"Shut up." Shan Lengqiu coldly spoke. Qin Wentian started but he didn't say anything more. Murong Xiaoxiao was stunned but she still had a smile on her face. She stared at Shan Lengqiu, "The truth might not be what we see. I still believe that you are right."
This was purely words of flattery. Shan Lengqiu nodded to Murong Xiaoxiao. His proud and vain heart would feel more comfortable only by doing this.
Qin Wentian no longer looked at Shan Lengqiu. He was staring at the person who appeared from the abyss. That person was actually squatting there and was sharpening his sword. He placed the sword on the grindstone, allowing the boundless sword qi river to flow on it, causing the surface of the sword to be as smooth as ever.
His long hair was in an extremely disheveled state, resembling a madman. He was clad in black robes that were stained with countless bloodstains. His robes were also extremely tattered. He had been sharpening his sword, there were no distractions in his heart.
Finally, he inclined his head as a terrifying cold light gleamed in his eyes, incomparably resplendent. That gaze seemed to contain a supreme sword intent that could lacerate everything, penetrating through everything.
"A thousand years of sharpening a sword. Today, the sword has been completed." A sharp voice rang out from his mouth. After that, the grindstone fell from the air. He picked up the sword with his palm and with a wave of his hand, the sword that he had sharpened for a thousand years was directly destroyed by him.
A thousand years of sharpening a sword, the sword was completed, all for the sake of destruction?
During these thousand years, was he sharpening that sword or was he sharpening his own sword?
With a flash of his silhouette, he transformed into a beam of light, resembling a sword. His body, was the sword.
With a piercing sound, blood splattered out. A figure didn't even have the time to scream before his head was separated from his body.
That sword light continued to fly out at the speed of a meteor, like a sword ray. Puff puff puff sounds continuously rang out, and one figure after another was slain, directly falling on the spot. Seeing this scene, the crowd was shocked, and their expressions changed. Emperor's Might erupted from their bodies, and at the same time, they rapidly retreated.
"Law origin, is this the law intent of swords?" Qin Wentian's heart trembled. What a powerful might. He saw a peak-stage immortal emperor using an extremely powerful defense, manifesting a law domain and creating an indestructible space. However, his defense was directly penetrated by the sword intent, slaying him.
There were also experts who used their Divine Weapons to protect themselves, blocking in front of them. However, the sword light directly disintegrated and flowed along their Divine Weapons, passing through their Divine Weapons in an instant, entering the side of their body and killing them. There was no way to block it at all.
This expert who walked out from the abyss should already be someone who stood at the unrivaled level in the immortal emperor realm. In fact, he might have already come into contact with the empyreans of the nine world palaces.
A thousand years of sharpening a sword. After he appeared, he directly used others to test his sword. This person's cultivation speed was almost crazy. In his eyes, there was only his sword. So many experts here were merely objects for him to sharpen his sword and not lives. He was truly emotionless to the extreme.
Could this be the so-called 'the great dao is emotionless'?
Shan Lengqiu and the others were also retreating. Murong Xiaoxiao was hiding behind Shan Lengqiu. The group of them retreated with Shan Lengqiu in the center while radiating terrifying emperor light.
That beam of sword light transformed into a human again. He smiled and glanced at everyone before turning to Shan Lengqiu and the others. Shan Lengqiu's expression drastically changed. A terrifying aura gushed forth from him as sword light flashed resplendently. With a single sword strike, boundless light seemed to be able to slash apart the heavens and earth as it shot towards his opponent.
However, that madman continued moving forward, as though he didn't care at all. When Shan Lengqiu's sword intent landed on his opponent, the sword intent actually became incomparably gentle, flowing through his body.
At this moment, Shan Lengqiu's countenance turned pale. At the same time, this also proved that he was wrong. When one was strong enough, they would be able to change the rules!
"Using the power of the sword to attack that madman is simply courting death." Not far away, Qin Wentian instantly understood when he saw this scene. This expert who came out from the abyss had comprehended the origin source of the sword. This was a qualitative change, directly suppressing you in terms of comprehension. How could your sword dao still be able to attack him? You were directly suppressed.
This was an absolute suppression of comprehension.
"You also understand the sword?" That madman mocked. A moment later, boundless sword might flowed in reverse, landing on Shan Lengqiu. It was like flowing water, flowing through Shan Lengqiu's body. Shan Lengqiu's body trembled unceasingly, his eyes were filled with boundless terror.
"Senior, I'm a disciple of the Skyair Palace Lord, the grandson of the Lifelong Realmlord. I hope that senior can show mercy." In the face of danger, Shan Lengqiu directly admitted defeat, revealing his background. This caused the eyes of the madman to flash. The Lifelong Realmlord's grand-disciple?
This taotie mine was still under the jurisdiction of the Lifelong Realmlord. In addition, it was also in the territory of the Lifelong Realm. If he really offended the Lifelong Realmlord, even if his cultivation base improved greatly now, only death would await him.
"Since this is the case, let me teach you a lesson on behalf of the Lifelong Realmlord. In the future, you better focus on your cultivation." That madman coldly spoke. A moment later, boundless sword might enveloped Shan Lengqiu's body and tossed him down. His sword intent was his will, he could control it according to his will.
Shan Lengqiu was tossed onto the ground, his entire body was drenched in sweat. If it wasn't for the protection of his identity, he would have died with a single thought from this madman!
