At this moment, the test from the Path of Swords became harsher and harsher, such that even Jianchen needed to rest for a while. He closed his eyes and comprehended.
In the ruined city outside the Path of Swords, the hall elder of the God clan, Tu San from the Heaven-splitting clan, and many peak experts from various places all stood below emotionlessly as they stared at Jianchen on the Path of Swords.
Jianchen was unable to see anything outside the Path of Swords. Even his senses and the senses of his soul were blocked within the Path of Swords. However, the peak experts outside the Path of Swords could clearly see him.
In everyone's eyes, Jian Chen seemed to be unstoppable after setting foot on the Path of Swords. He made it through a third of the distance like a hot knife through butter. This caused many of the peak experts gathered there to become nervous.
More than ninety percent of them did not wish for Jianchen to actually pass the test.
This was because once Jianchen completed the Path of Swords and became the Celestial Sword Saint's disciple, he would receive the Celestial Sword Saint's protection. At that time, they would not be able to do anything to Jianchen.
"It's a pity that no external force can interfere with the Celestial Sword Saint's test, or else …" At that moment, many peak experts sighed inside. If the situation allowed for it, they would have used various methods to make Jianchen fall off the Path of Swords. However, with the fate of the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance and the Celestial Sword Saint's might, they did not have the courage to do that.
"He's clearly slowed down. Don't worry, he won't be able to pass the Celestial Sword Saint's test …"
"The Celestial Sword Saint's Path of Swords has already existed for several hundred thousand years. Countless prodigies have attempted it during that time in hopes of becoming the Celestial Sword Saint's disciple, but in the end, no one passed. Jianchen will definitely be one of the countless failures …"
…
"Elder, do you think Jianchen can pass the Celestial Sword Saint's test?" Beside Tina, Olidona looked at Jianchen on the Path of Swords and asked in a concerned voice.
"It's very difficult to say. Although Jianchen's talent can be described as unprecedented, the Celestial Sword Saint's test on the Path of the Sword isn't as simple as scaling the heavens. This is because the Path of the Sword doesn't just test talent and intelligence. It also tests a person's personality. If your personality doesn't satisfy the Celestial Sword Saint, it'll be impossible for you to become his disciple no matter how great your talent is. " She stared at Jianchen with her old eyes and said, "As a result, apart from having extremely great talent in the Laws of the Sword, whether you can become the Celestial Sword Saint's disciple depends on whether you suit the Celestial Sword Saint's tastes."
"The Celestial Sword Saint has always been a loner. He never takes anyone seriously, nor does he befriend the other experts of the Saints' World. He has a very strange temper, so it'll be difficult to suit his tastes."
Tu San, who stood before Tina, also stared at Jianchen on the Path of Swords with narrowed eyes. He sneered inside, "Jianchen, do you think you can change anything just because you've made it onto the Path of Swords? The Celestial Sword Saint is very powerful, but no matter how powerful he is, he's nothing in my master's eyes. "
Tu San was very confident. After all, his master, the Heaven-splitting Ancestor, was one of the most powerful experts below Grand Exalt. He stood at the same level as the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, and he was only a step away from the supreme level of Grand Exalts.
A peak figure like that could indeed reign supreme in the Saints' World.
At this moment, Jianchen was already high in the sky on the Path of Swords. He had already completed half of the Path of Swords.
"What is the sword …"
A great voice suddenly rang out in the hazy world that Jianchen resided in. It was as loud as a bell, causing Jianchen's mind to tremble violently.
"The sword is a will, an aura of the mind …" Jianchen closed his eyes and explained his understanding of the Way of the Sword through his mental comprehension.
"What is the Way of the Sword …"
In the void, the resonant voice rang out once more.
"The Way of the Sword is the laws. The Way of the Sword is the world …"
…
The tests on the Path of Swords became harsher and harsher. Gradually, it approached the essence of the Way of the Sword, touching on the core of the three thousand ways of the world.
The resistance that Jianchen encountered became greater and greater as well. As a result, the amount of time he needed to take each step increased by several fold.
In the blink of an eye, a month had already passed since Jianchen embarked on the Path of Swords.
During that month, Jianchen had already completed three-quarters of the Path of Swords. Only a quarter of the distance remained before he reached the end.
During that month, nothing much happened on the Desolate Plane. However, more and more peak experts gathered on the Desolate Plane. These people had all hurried over from various places in the Saints' World with various thoughts after hearing that Jianchen had been exposed.
Naturally, there were people who wanted a share of the spoils among them.
After all, no one knew where Jianchen was hiding on the Desolate Plane before. Searching for him was just too difficult, so there were naturally many peak experts who were unwilling to do something so arduous and unrewarding. As a result, they did not take part in the search.
However, now that Jianchen's identity had been confirmed and he had been forced onto the Path of Swords, the people who did not want to waste time and effort on searching for him finally found an opportunity.
None of them believed that Jianchen could actually pass the Celestial Sword Saint's test. This was because they had already gained an understanding of the contents of the test from the people who had attempted the Path of Swords. They were certain that it was impossible for Jianchen to pass the Path of Swords.
The peak experts gathered around the Path of Swords had all left. Of course, they did not truly leave. Instead, they hid in the distance and paid close attention to what was happening.
With their level of cultivation, nothing could escape their notice. They could cross great distances in a single instance and arrive there.
Jianchen had not returned empty-handed from the month of tests on the Path of Swords. Instead, he had benefited greatly. As he constantly advanced and broke through obstacles, he used his comprehension and understanding of the Way of the Sword to compare it with the mysteries of the Way of the Sword hidden within the Path of Swords. He found many areas where he was lacking in the Way of the Sword, allowing his comprehension of the Way of the Sword to deepen.
"My current comprehension of the Way of the Sword is at the great perfection of Sword Spirit. The next level is Sword Immortal …"
"The great perfection of Sword Spirit is equivalent to the late Divine King's comprehension of laws, while Sword Immortal is equivalent to the Primordial realm …"
Jianchen sat on the ground as he was enveloped by light. Countless strands of sword Qi revolved around him.
The sword Qi was sharp and powerful, but every single strand seemed to possess some intelligence.
This was the symbol of Sword Spirit!
However, at this moment, the sword Qis that were full of spirituality around him carried a sense of elegance, as if they had broken free from their restraints and surpassed the heavens and the earth.
"At Sword Spirit, the sword Qi is in the word 'spirit', possessing intelligence. As for Sword Immortal, it's in the word 'immortal', possessing immortal intent. "
"As for immortal, it's breaking free from the restraints and surpassing the world. Xiaoyao is free …" Jianchen murmured. At this moment, he seemed to possess a sliver of immortal intent.
He had already understood the true essence of Sword Immortal intent. He had reached the threshold of Sword Immortal, but he had not completely crossed over.
However, since he had seen it and found the path, truly crossing over was only a matter of time.
