After Qin Wentian rejected the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness, he naturally understood how high the prestige of the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness was. Shaking his head, he turned to Lin Shuai.
"Senior Brother, let me find a place to stay first." Qin Wentian spoke.
"Mhm, sure. You and Junior Sister Qing 'er can choose a place to stay first. After that, you can follow me to the first mountain." Lin Shuai had a smile on his face. Since he had already brought Qin Wentian here, he should greet his master first. After all, Qin Wentian was someone his master wanted.
"Sure." Qin Wentian had no objections. The few of them then soared into the air.
Li Hanyou stepped out and landed on the mountain peak. Instantly, several extraordinary young men appeared beside her. For a moment, Li Hanyou was like the moon surrounded by stars.
"How many swords did this person comprehend?" Li Hanyou asked.
"Junior Sister, this person just joined the sect and he managed to comprehend fourteen swords within five days." A person spoke. Momentarily, Li Hanyou's expression froze as the pride in her heart suffered a heavy blow. Right now, even she had only comprehended ten swords.
"Junior Sister, there's no need to worry. Comprehending swords is related to one's luck and comprehension ability. It doesn't represent one's talent." That person consoled. Li Hanyou nodded her head lightly, "Don't worry, I, Li Hanyou, am not someone who would belittle myself. But since this person was able to comprehend fourteen swords, he can already be considered extraordinary. I wonder how high his combat prowess and talent are exactly."
Qin Wentian and Qing 'er first found a cultivation paradise on the first mountain below Sword Sovereign Ling Tian. The distance between the two cultivation paradises wasn't too far, it was quiet and beautiful. After that, they came before an ancient mountain peak. There was a winding ancient path leading to the top of the mountain, resembling a stairway to the heavens. Beside the path, there was a waterfall, splashing water everywhere. This place truly resembled a paradise in the mortal world.
Qing 'er and Little Rascal didn't come with them. Qin Wentian followed Lin Shuai and the others here. Inclining his head, he stared at the Heavenly Stairway of the Ancient Mountain. Qin Wentian ascended the stairway step by step. Lin Shuai and the others all had expressions of respect on their faces. At the edge of the waterfall, there were many guards with ancient swords on their backs. When they saw Lin Shuai and the others, they would nod their heads slightly.
An instant later, only Lin Shuai could continue ascending. Ye Lingshuang and the others remained at the waist of the stairway. This was the place where the Sword Sovereign taught his disciples. Without their orders, no one was allowed to ascend. However, Lin Shuai actually brought Qin Wentian up, causing strange expressions to appear on the faces of Ye Lingshuang and the others. Senior Brother Lin Shuai actually directly brought Qin Wentian to meet with the sect leader.
What was the background of this Qin Wentian?
"Junior Brother is back." When Qin Wentian and Lin Shuai arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Stairway, they saw a maiden clad in white walking out. This maiden had a neat and tidy appearance, and although she couldn't be considered very beautiful, her facial features were delicate and dignified, giving off a faint sense of majesty.
"This is my sixth senior sister, Cang Yue." Lin Shuai introduced.
"Senior Sister." Qin Wentian called out. Most probably, this maiden was also a disciple under the Sword Sovereign. Such a young Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant would definitely be a character at the peak of Grand Xia. The world outside was truly powerful.
"Junior Brother Wentian, Master is already waiting for you." The white-robed maiden smiled at Qin Wentian. Her smile caused people to feel extremely comfortable, as though it was made by nature itself.
Qin Wentian felt somewhat bewildered. The sect leader of the Battle Sword Sect was personally waiting for him?
With bewilderment in his heart, he followed the white-robed maiden into the great hall. There were several disciples of the Battle Sword Sect here, and as for the front, there was a person casually standing there, akin to a supreme sword. Although he didn't exude any aura, he gave off a terrifying pressure to Qin Wentian, causing him to feel as though it was extremely difficult to take a single step forward.
"Junior pays my respects to the sect leader." Qin Wentian could guess that this person was none other than the sect leader of the Battle Sword Sect, Sword Sovereign Ling Tian.
"Mhm, I've already heard about you from them. Release your martial soul and will of Mandates for me to see." Sword Sovereign Ling Tian smiled as he stared at Qin Wentian. Although he didn't exude any aura, Qin Wentian was still able to calmly face the pressure emanating from him. This could already be considered rare.
At the instant the sound of his voice faded, Qin Wentian felt all the pressure on him vanishing. It was as though the person standing in front of him was an extremely ordinary mortal.
"Able to retract and retract as I please." Qin Wentian knew that Sword Sovereign Ling Tian's cultivation had already reached another level. Now that he was in a place like the Battle Sword Sect, it was no longer something Grand Xia could compare to. He didn't have too many misgivings and released his astral souls and will of Mandates at the same time.
The resplendent astral souls illuminated the entire great hall. The flickering astral souls were so blinding that they could pierce the eyes of those who looked at them. Sword Sovereign Ling Tian's eyes abruptly erupted with a resplendent light. Even with his state of heart, he actually couldn't control his aura at this instant, causing the entire great hall to be filled with a stifling pressure, albeit only for an instant.
"Enough." The light in Sword Sovereign Ling Tian's eyes gradually retracted, yet his heart trembled. As the sect leader of the Battle Sword Sect, how many geniuses had he seen before? He had even met some heaven-defying geniuses who intentionally delayed their cultivation to increase their perception, allowing them to condense an astral soul from the 5th Heavenly Layer when they condensed their second astral soul. However, this was the first time he met someone who condensed an astral soul from the 5th Heavenly Layer as their first astral soul.
Not only that, he heard that Qin Wentian came from the desolate and desolate land of Grand Xia. This was simply unimaginable.
Lin Shuai, Cang Yue and the rest were all stunned as their hearts pounded. How strong was the perception of this junior brother of theirs?
"Force, Dream, Demon, Sword. The attacking power of your Mandates should be extremely strong. If you use this combination well, your attacks would definitely be at the peak." At that instant, Sword Sovereign Ling Tian had already sensed Qin Wentian's Mandates. Force, Demon, and Sword, all of them had the attribute of attack. Dream, on the other hand, had the attribute of bewilderment.
Qin Wentian nodded his head lightly, but he didn't reply.
"Force, Demon, and Sword can allow your attacks to unceasingly multiply, allowing you to walk towards the limit. Firstly, you have to reach the Perfection Boundary of your Mandates. Secondly, you can continue to increase the strength of your fleshly body. The strength of your fleshly body is the foundation. Once your foundation is raised, when you use your Mandates to multiply your attacks, the effects would be even more obvious."
Sword Sovereign Ling Tian explained. Qin Wentian naturally understood this logic. If his physical strength grew stronger, his Mandate of Force and Mandate of Demon would be able to multiply his attacks unceasingly, and the effects would be even more terrifying.
However, in the past, when his cultivation base was raised, his fleshly body would also be strengthened. The Fiend Transformation Art had also strengthened his physique, but it was already extremely difficult to raise his foundation.
"In addition, you've already been to the grass hut. You should know that even if it's just a simple fusion of Mandates, there would still be unfathomable effects." Sword Sovereign Ling Tian spoke to Qin Wentian.
"Junior has already tried it before. When I infused different Mandates into my halberd arts, the might of my attacks would indeed be much stronger. Although this fusion is only at the simplest level." Qin Wentian replied. From the fifteenth sword strike onwards, only then would one truly enter a deeper level of fusion. And right now, he had only comprehended the first to the seventh sword strike. The sword, was merely a vessel.
"No wonder you can comprehend the fourteenth sword strike. However, don't stray into the wrong path. The reason why everything in the grass hut is based on the sword is because the founder was a sword immortal. Not only that, the sword can easily fuse the Mandates of Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning into it. However, different Mandates can be used as a vessel. For example, your Heavenly Hammer Astral Soul, Mandate of Force, and Mandate of Great Earth are much easier to fuse."
Sword Sovereign Ling Tian's words were extremely casual, causing Qin Wentian to unknowingly feel a sense of closeness.
"Many thanks for Senior's guidance." Qin Wentian understood that Sword Sovereign Ling Tian was worried that Qin Wentian would stray into the wrong path of the sword.
"You have to rely on yourself to walk your own path. Predecessors can only give you some pointers. Ultimately, how far you can walk on your own path will depend on your own talent, hard work, and luck. There's no need for you to take me as your master, but if you have any questions, you can look for me. First, follow Lin Shuai to the Gravity Mountain to cultivate. As for your little girlfriend, I will introduce her to a good teacher. If she is unwilling, I won't force her."
"Okay." Qin Wentian felt joy in his heart. He didn't expect Sword Sovereign Ling Tian to treat him so generously. He felt extremely grateful in his heart. As for Sword Sovereign Ling Tian's misunderstanding of Qing 'er as his girlfriend, he didn't bother to explain.
"Junior Brother, let's go." Lin Shuai smiled. Qin Wentian bowed to Sword Sovereign Ling Tian before he left with Lin Shuai.
Sword Sovereign Ling Tian stared at the departing back of Qin Wentian as a smile appeared on his face. He silently mused that his master's judgement was indeed extremely sharp. He would naturally do his best to send this young man into the Battle Sword Sect. Not only that, he had to do so in a dazzling manner. If not, it would be hard for him to gain recognition. This was also the reason why he didn't allow Qin Wentian to take him as his master.
"Junior Brother Qin, you are truly astonishing." After exiting the great hall, Lin Shuai spoke. The combination of Qin Wentian's astral souls was simply too shocking.
Qin Wentian smiled but he didn't reply. Ye Lingshuang then asked, "Senior, what's wrong?"
"Nothing much." Lin Shuai smiled and shook his head. "Master wants me to bring Junior Brother Qin to the Gravity Mountain."
"Ah …" Ye Lingshuang screamed, while Liu Yun rolled his eyes. Both of them tactfully didn't say anything, causing Qin Wentian to be extremely curious about this place.
The Gravity Mountain was located in a ravine within a mountain range. At the sides of the ravine, there were several ink-colored boulders that gave off a heavy feeling. There were also ancient trees that were incomparably thick and sturdy, so thick that even ten people wouldn't be able to wrap their arms around them.
"This is the Gravity Mountain?" Qin Wentian stared at the ravine ahead as he asked.
"Yes. Junior Brother, the boulders below weigh over ten thousand jin. You have to move them all to the other side of the ravine before moving them back. As for those ancient trees, you have to use an axe and chop down a hundred of them before you can move them out." Lin Shuai explained.
"How difficult can that be?" Qin Wentian laughed. Ye Lingshuang, who was behind him, had a strange expression on her face.
"In that case, you can leave now." Lin Shuai smiled.
"Right." Qin Wentian nodded. Stepping out, he flew towards the ravine.
However, when he arrived in the airspace above the ravine, Qin Wentian's countenance abruptly changed. A terrifying pressure bore down on him, causing his body to plummet downwards.
"How heavy." Qin Wentian's countenance drastically changed. With a thunderous boom, his body directly slammed into the ground. Even his legs found it hard to stand straight, and he felt as though his entire body was falling apart. His entire body felt extremely uncomfortable, and his internal organs felt as though they were collapsing.
"Junior Brother Qin, cultivate well." Lin Shuai smiled. After speaking, he turned and departed. Ye Lingshuang had a complacent expression on her face, while Ling Yun looked at Qin Wentian with sympathy. "Enjoy yourself, and don't forget to move the boulders and chop down the trees."
"How can it be so terrifying?" Qin Wentian straightened his back. He only felt an extremely powerful force acting on his entire body. Even the Astral Energy in his body couldn't circulate smoothly.
He suddenly thought of something. When a type of energy reached its limit, it would undergo a qualitative change. This Gravity Domain had reached its limit.
"BOOM!" With every step he took, the earth rumbled. Qin Wentian glanced at the gigantic boulders, before glancing at the ancient trees. He felt an impulse to cry!
