Time passed silently. Now, it had already been over two and a half years since Jianchen had arrived in the Sword God Mountains.
On this day, a faint, grey mist suddenly appeared in Jianchen's dwelling. It expanded into the surroundings with Jianchen's dwelling as the centre.
The grey mist possessed extremely great corrosive power. Wherever it passed by, the ground would melt and the vegetation would wither away. Even the origin energy in the surroundings was assimilated by the grey mist, becoming a part of it. As a result, the grey mist became even more powerful.
However, that was all. The vegetation that was melting under the grey mist's corrosion suddenly began to glow with hazy light. Powerful sword intent permeated the surroundings, drowning out the grey mist in a single instance.
Even the melting earth also shot out sword light, forcing the gray fog to retreat.
The Sword God Mountains was the Celestial Sword Saint's territory after all. Under the influence of the Celestial Sword Saint's sword intent, every single blade of grass, every single grain of sand, and every single rock had become extraordinary. They possessed power that could not be underestimated.
At this moment, the grey mist retracted and completely dispersed from the cave. Afterwards, Jianchen emerged from the cave.
"After two and a half years, I've finally comprehended the Laws of Corrosion to the Divine King level. To activate the remaining power of the eight experts, I need the Laws of the Sword, Creation, Destruction, Fire, Space, Strength, Curses, and Corrosion. I've already grasped the Laws of the Sword, Destruction, Strength, Space, Curses, and Corrosion. Coupled with Caia's Laws of Creation and Fire, I just happen to have comprehended the Laws of the Divine King level. "
Now that he had achieved his objective, Jianchen no longer had any intentions of remaining in the Sword God Mountains. He immediately found the Celestial Sword Saint and bid farewell to him. He planned on leaving unexpectedly.
"Old Man said that you can stay in the Sword God Mountains for three years. Not a single day more or less …" the Celestial Sword Saint said in a domineering voice.
Jianchen had no choice but to continue staying in the Sword God Mountain and spend the remaining half a year.
In the remaining half a year, Jianchen planned to use it to comprehend the laws of Sword Dao.
Although he possessed the Method of the Exalted Saint, allowing him to cultivate Radiant Saint Force to an even greater level, it would be impossible for him to be of any use in the battle half a year later even if his cultivation had increased drastically.
The method of using Martial Soul Force that Hun Zang had given him before he left was only the basics. The true core legacy was still on the Martial Soul Mountain. Just the basics were not enough to provide him with any assistance when he faced the peak experts half a year later.
Therefore, Jianchen could only use this half a year to comprehend the Sword Dao.
His Sword Dao realm had already comprehended the concept of a sword immortal when he challenged the Path of Swords. It was equivalent to having half a foot in the realm of a sword immortal.
Sword Immortals corresponded to the Primordial realm.
"Sword Immortals focus on immortal intent. Sword Qi needs to possess the concept of 'immortality'. Although I've already comprehended it, my sword Qi still hasn't completed its transformation … "In the following period of time, Jianchen did not return to his dwelling. Instead, he found a mountain nearby and sat there, comprehending the concept of immortality so that his sword Qi could complete its transformation.
Although this seemed like a simple process, it was not easy to actually achieve.
One month …
Two months …
…
Time passed bit by bit. Jianchen sat there for four months. During that time, he seemed to have been petrified. He did not move at all. The only change was that sword Qi would surge out from his body from time to time, wreaking havoc in the surroundings.
The sword Qi was either tough, soft, strong, or weak. They constantly changed, but Jianchen still failed to take that final step and become an immortal of the sword.
Four months later, Jianchen finally finished his meditation and asked the Celestial Sword Saint for guidance.
Although he was confident that the final step to Sword Immortal would not take him too long with his talent, he clearly did not have the confidence to complete it in the remaining two months.
"If you want to become a Sword Immortal, the first thing you need to understand is the word 'immortal'. Every person has a different view of 'immortal'. "
"In the eyes of mortals, 'immortal' is an existence that possesses great power and can fly through the air and burrow through the earth …"
"In the eyes of some accomplished cultivators, 'immortal' is only a division of cultivation …"
"However, in the eyes of Old Man, 'immortal' is the Way of Nature …"
The Celestial Sword Saint's powerful voice rang out in Jianchen's head like a great bell. Immediately, Jianchen felt enlightened. In a daze, he seemed to understand something, as if he had grasped something.
"Every person has a different view and a different definition of 'immortal'. But what is the 'immortal' in my heart? " Jianchen left where the Celestial Sword Saint cultivated in a daze. He returned to the mountain peak where he had sat for four months as he pondered deeply.
"My understanding of 'immortal' before was that it was graceful, free, and unrestrained, surpassing the world. Xiaoyao was free. But looking at it now, my understanding of 'immortal' has only reached a portion. It's not complete yet … "
"No wonder. No wonder I was only able to take a single step even after comprehending the concept of Sword Immortal. As it turns out, my understanding of 'immortal' is still lacking. Only by making up for this so-called deficiency can I reach perfection and become a Sword Immortal."
Jianchen sat down once again. This time, he was like a mortal. He did not use any power at all. In just a month, he was covered in a thin layer of dust. Even his white robes had lost their original colour, becoming black.
During the final three days before Jianchen had to remain in the Sword God Mountains for three years, the Sword God Mountains welcomed a stormy night. Rain poured down as lightning flashed in the sky like snakes.
At this moment, a bolt of lightning flashed through the sky with bright light. The bolt of lightning was like a flash of inspiration in Jianchen's head. At that moment, Jianchen immediately understood. He understood the concept of 'immortal' in his heart.
He suddenly stood up from where he was sitting. He raised his head and looked at the stormy sky. He pointed with a finger and yelled out, "My 'immortal' is the world. The world is the void of the universe and the endless rivers of stars. It contains everything and is boundless."
"My way can accept everything. It can devour the rivers of stars. It can transform all powers inferior to me into my own way …"
"From today onwards, I am a Sword Immortal, an Immortal of the Sword …"
Jianchen's voice was like the beginning of the world. It contained a mysterious power as it resounded through the sky.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning struck down. The lightning condensed at the tip of Jianchen's finger. As it flickered, it did not extinguish. However, in the next moment, the lightning condensed at the tip of Jianchen's finger turned into a resplendent strand of sword Qi.
At the same time, the stormy sky silently changed. At some unknown point in time, the rain that poured down from the sky was no longer pure rain. Instead, it had turned into strands of sharp sword Qi.
The sword Qi was densely packed, covering the sky and the sun. It scattered down from the sky, producing an endless stream of 'pu pu' sounds on the Sword God Peak.
Jianchen used his Sword Immortal Will to change the power of nature in this place.
PS: The public account has always been maliciously complained by some treacherous villains, causing the public account to be temporarily restricted. Therefore, in the next few days, Xiaoyao will not be able to update the public account with new information and character pictures.
It was because of the actions of these villains that tens of thousands of brothers were unable to know the latest updates. It also caused difficulties for many brothers to be unable to find a connection through the public account.
Xiaoyao felt quite angry about this.
Then, let us, the tens of thousands of brothers, curse these villains together.
However, Xiaoyao had already spent some time today to collect evidence of these villains' malicious complaints. Once the restriction on the public account was lifted, the public account would resume updating. Brothers, please forgive us.
