On the ancient peak, more and more people gathered. All of them were staring at the silhouette of the young man walking towards the grass hut.
The first time Qin Wentian came to the Battle Sword Sect, he had comprehended fourteen sword strikes, breaking the record of the grass hut. After so many days, he once again arrived at the grass hut.
"The fifteen sword strikes of the grass hut, nobody under Celestial Phenomenon can comprehend it. Can Qin Wentian comprehend it?" Many mused in their hearts. Qin Wentian had already comprehended fourteen sword strikes. Right now, he had to start from the fifteenth sword strike. However, the fifteenth sword strike had the reputation of being impossible for anyone under Celestial Phenomenon to comprehend it. They wondered if Qin Wentian would be able to bring any surprises to them.
Lin Shuai arrived. He stared at the junior apprentice brother he had personally welcomed into the Battle Sword Sect. This was the most outstanding junior apprentice brother he had met ever since he entered the sect. He wondered what surprises Qin Wentian would bring to him this time around.
Ye Lingshuang arrived. Her attitude had already undergone a huge change compared to the first time they met. Back then, she couldn't stand the sight of Qin Wentian, feeling that he was extremely lecherous. Even Little Rascal dared to assault her sensitive spots. But this time around, she only had anticipation in her heart.
"Senior sister Lou." At this moment, a beautiful maiden appeared on the mountain peak opposite the grass hut. It was none other than Lou Bingyu. Her clear eyes stared at the silhouette before her.
"Bingyu." It was unknown when Ji Feixue appeared beside Lou Bingyu. Lou Bingyu glanced at him, she discovered that after returning from the Immortal Martial Realm, her attitude towards Ji Feixue was completely different. There was no longer any trace of competition or admiration, there was only calmness. Such a transformation happened soundlessly.
"Feixue, you have to work hard. Junior sister Lou's cultivation base has already broken through to the eighth level of Heavenly Dipper after her closed-door seclusion." Lin Shuai glanced at the two beside him and smiled. His words caused Ji Feixue's eyes to flicker as he cast a deep glance at Lou Bingyu. When Lou Bingyu was in Wu Mu's world monument, she was one of the few who could comprehend the energy of the stone rampart. Her outstanding talent was slowly being displayed.
Li Hanyou also arrived. The expression she had when she stared at Qin Wentian was incomparably complicated. Back then, she had once looked down on him, but now, he couldn't even be bothered to look her in the eye. Or maybe, it could be said that Qin Wentian had never looked her in the eye before. If not, why would he directly slap her in the face? Back then in the Immortal Martial Realm, she had cursed Qin Wentian with hatred in her heart. Yet, she discovered that Qin Wentian had walked all the way to the end, becoming the top ranker of the Immortal Martial Realm. Such a feeling, other than herself, no one else could understand it.
Other than the disciples of the Battle Sword Sect, how many Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants from the Battle Sword Sect were spying on them?
Qin Wentian stood in the grass hut, causing a huge commotion in the Battle Sword Sect.
Lou Bingyu had never experienced such treatment before, neither had Ji Feixue. In the past hundred years, only Qin Wentian had ever experienced such treatment.
At this moment, Qin Wentian had already started to comprehend the first fourteen sword strikes. He had already comprehended the first fourteen sword strikes, he only needed to comprehend it once more.
Comprehending a sword strike was a kind of comprehension, a kind of understanding. Since he had already comprehended it once, the second time was naturally much easier. He directly walked up to the fifteenth sword strike.
Once again, he saw the scene from back then. In front of Qin Wentian, there was a mountain rampart. This mountain rampart depicted a violent ancient demon that wanted to devour the heavens and destroy the earth. It was incomparably frenzied, as though it wanted to destroy everything. However, all of this was dissipated by a single sword strike. That sword landed in the middle of the evil dragon and demonic phoenix, instantly disintegrating the evil dragon, turning it into dust. Everything was destroyed.
'I could sense the existence of martial wills in the first 14 sword strikes. Even if it was a fusion of martial wills, I still managed to comprehend it in the end. However, only this sword strike... Is it really like what I thought it was previously, a fusion of martial wills at a deeper level? '
Qin Wentian mused. If it was truly a fusion of Mandates at a deeper level, it would be extremely difficult for him to comprehend which Mandates were fused together. There was a high possibility that he would return in failure, unable to comprehend the fifteenth sword strike.
However, this time around, Qin Wentian had a strange feeling. This sword strike was extremely pure, so pure that it was merely a single type of energy. It wasn't a fusion of many different types of Mandates.
Naturally, there was also a possibility that it was a fusion of a completely new type of energy. Given his current strength, he wouldn't be able to sense it.
Qin Wentian closed his eyes. It was as though the image on the rampart was directly imprinted into his mind, as he repeated that sword strike over and over again.
"If one doesn't step into Celestial Phenomenon, they won't be able to comprehend the fifteenth sword strike." Qin Wentian mused.
Celestial Phenomenon, what was a Celestial Phenomenon?
In the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, one's comprehension of Mandates had to reach another level, surpassing the Perfection Boundary of the second level. This level was known as the true intent of a Mandate.
'Truth', it referred to true comprehension.
For example, the first level he comprehended was Force, and the second level was Void Shockwave. But was there only these two transformations for his Mandate of Force? Clearly, there was still a third and fourth transformation. For example, gravity, the omnipresent force. Only by truly comprehending the Mandate of Force would one be able to step past this level and comprehend the true intent of the Mandate of Force.
This step was already exceedingly difficult. It was unknown how many cultivators had tried to break through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Many of them spent their entire lives trying to break through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
But this was only one of the conditions to step into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. If one truly wanted to step into Celestial Phenomenon, they still had to convert their Astral Novas back into their astral souls, using their astral souls to form a constellation. For this step, one had to take the previous step as the foundation. Only by comprehending the true intent of a Mandate would one be able to comprehend their own constellation.
Constellations were all-encompassing, containing a myriad of transformations. At the same cultivation level, if one of them had an extraordinary constellation, he or she could easily suppress ten or even twenty ordinary constellations. In fact, he or she might even be able to insta-kill them.
This also meant that there were many who had no way to step into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm in their entire lives. But when you were feeling complacent after stepping past that barrier, you would discover to your sorrow that the disparity between cultivators at the same level could be magnified to the point of despair.
The more Qin Wentian understood, the more he understood how terrifying the disparity between cultivation levels was. Back then if it wasn't for him transforming into a great roc and wielding the demon sword, the Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants of the Pill Emperor Hall would be able to squash him to death as easily as squashing an ant. And precisely because of this, the Pill Emperor Hall missed the best opportunity to squash him to death, thinking that they could kill him anytime they wanted.
"That sword strike, could it be that the true intent of a Mandate was infused into the sword?" When Qin Wentian thought of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. If one didn't step into Celestial Phenomenon, it was impossible for one to comprehend the fifteenth sword strike. If the fifteenth sword strike was a true intent, Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns naturally wouldn't be able to see through the essence of this sword strike.
As Qin Wentian thought of this, he started to comprehend in this direction. He didn't think about whether this sword strike was a fusion of Mandates or not. Closing his eyes tightly, that sword strike repeated itself thousands of times in his mind. Finally, he felt that his perception of the sword had slowed down. He could see more clearly, and he could see more clearly.
Time flowed by unknowingly. Qin Wentian suddenly understood that for those who could complete the entire trial of comprehending the sword, how high would their comprehension abilities be? How could they not become a hero of their generation?
A day later, the silhouettes on the ancient peak were still there. They stared at Qin Wentian, yet Qin Wentian still didn't move.
Could it be that there was no way to comprehend the fifteenth sword strike after all?
If one didn't step into Celestial Phenomenon, they wouldn't be able to comprehend the fifteenth sword strike. Was there really no way to break this iron rule?
Many people sighed in their hearts. Seems like a miracle wouldn't happen.
Qin Wentian was still immersed in his thoughts. In his mind, that sword strike grew even clearer. He could sense the power contained within that destructive sword strike. That speed, that lacerating might, that omnipresent power. If he had to find a Mandate that was compatible with him … then it should be … Wind!
The Mandate of Wind couldn't be described as a will, but rather, the true intent of the Mandate of Wind. This was because there were many different types of Mandates contained within. The speed of the wind, the lacerating might of the wind, the misty wind, the omnipresence of the wind!
"Understood." Qin Wentian opened his eyes. After which, he placed his palms on the mountain rampart in front of him as his perception gushed forth. Instantly, a dazzling beam of sword light tore through the heavens and earth, humming unceasingly. At this moment, above the grass hut, sword Qi gushed forth, ravaging the heavens and earth.
The fifteenth sword strike, comprehended.
"He only used a single day. Awesome." Lin Shuai had a smile on his face. This junior brother of his had truly brought him a pleasant surprise. He was able to comprehend this sword strike when he was only at the Heavenly Dipper Realm. In that case, in the eyes of others, Celestial Phenomenon was a heavenly moat. Maybe to Qin Wentian, it was only a matter of time.
Since he could comprehend this sword strike, it meant that one day, he would be able to comprehend it himself.
"Wentian is truly too outstanding." Ye Lingshuang's beautiful eyes flashed with joy. This foster brother of hers might even surpass her father in the future. How good would it be if he was her biological younger brother? If that was the case, her father wouldn't need to worry about who would inherit his legacy.
The eyes of Lou Bingyu and Ji Feixue also flickered with astonishment. The disciples of the Battle Sword Sect all exclaimed in shock. However, this was only the beginning.
The second diagram was the same as the first diagram. It was so similar that it almost made people think that it was the same painting. But ultimately, Qin Wentian used twelve hours to comprehend it.
The energy contained within this sword strike was the power of space. Although the process was similar, at the instant of destruction, the might it unleashed was far more powerful.
Next, for the seventeenth sword strike, Qin Wentian used eight hours. For the eighteenth sword strike, Qin Wentian used six hours. For the nineteenth sword strike, Qin Wentian used four hours. For the twentieth sword strike, Qin Wentian used two hours. For the twenty-first sword strike, Qin Wentian used an hour.
After two days, he comprehended another seven sword strikes, from the fifteenth to the twenty-first.
The people on the ancient mountain peak were all dumbstruck. They stared blankly at Qin Wentian advancing towards the direction of the grass hut. He had already completed the 22nd sword strike. This was already a goal that the vast majority of the members of the Battle Sword Sect had no way of accomplishing. For those below the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, Qin Wentian had already arrived at this place.
How difficult was the twenty-second sword strike?
Could the person who broke the record of the grass hut still be able to continue forward? Nobody knew the answer, but the gazes of the entire Battle Sword Sect were all focused on the grass hut!
