The Spiritual World was as vast as the Void Universe, seemingly without end.
An illusory figure, holding an illusory longsword, stood in the Spiritual World and suddenly moved.
It was a very slow movement, and the movement was very clear. The trajectory was clear at a glance.
But such a sword also had a mystery that could not be avoided. The sword seemed to have descended from the Nine Heavens, filled with extreme killing intent. It was a sword that was born only for killing.
As the sword slashed out, the sword radiance turned into the color of blood, breaking through the air. It was a little rough and choppy. Immediately, the illusory figure withdrew the sword and stood still. After about ten breaths, the sword slashed out again. The trajectory of the sword was similar to the previous one, but it seemed to be a little smoother.
Another ten breaths passed, and the sword slashed out again. This repeated over and over again.
This time, the illusory figure stood still for thirty breaths before the sword slashed out. The blood-colored Sword Light of the sword was clearly more condensed and smoother.
Ten breaths … Thirty breaths … Sixty breaths … One hundred breaths …
The interval between each slash was getting longer and longer, but the sword slashed out with each slash was becoming more and more perfect.
This time, the illusory figure paused for a full quarter of an hour before he moved again. Without any pretense, the illusory longsword pierced through the air. It was an extremely sharp sword that was filled with killing intent, as if it could even cut through the void.
After the sword slashed out, the illusory figure and the illusory longsword dissipated. In the outside world, the eyes that had been closed at some point suddenly opened. A blood-colored Sword Light shot out from the eyes. The invisible killing intent caused the hearts of the people at the Tablet of Massacre to turn cold, but they could not find a way to pursue it.
At this point, the three days to comprehend the Tablet of Massacre were almost up.
"Chu Wangting, I have finished comprehending it." Li Qiubai walked over and said, "Now, let's use the Tablet of Massacre to determine the level of our comprehension."
Li Qiubai believed that Chu Wangting, who was able to leave his name at the top of the Sword Cliff, would definitely be able to comprehend some mysteries, but he might not be able to compare with him.
The Sword Cliff tested one's potential.
Potential was made up of many aspects, but something like comprehension could not be reflected on the Sword Cliff. Of course, to be able to become a genius, one's comprehension must be extraordinary. It was normal for one to surpass ordinary geniuses. However, Li Qiubai did not think that his comprehension was inferior to his opponent's. In fact, his comprehension had always been something he was proud of.
Li Qiubai was confident that the profundities he comprehended would not be inferior to his opponent's. In fact, he might even surpass them.
And now, it was time to decide who was better.
If Chu Wangting lost, he would become a member of the Hundred Heavens Alliance. In this way, the Hundred Heavens Alliance would become stronger. If he lost, then the Hundred Heavens Alliance that he had created would have to be handed over. However, would he lose?
No!
"I'll go first." Li Qiubai said as he turned to face the Slaughter Tablet. He raised his palm and extended his index finger. With a light tap of his finger, a beam of blood-red light shot through the air.
This ray of light was Li Qiubai's comprehension.
It was difficult to see the profundities of this ray of light alone.
The ray of light landed on the Slaughter Tablet. Immediately, the ray of light melted into the tablet. A dot of blood-red light appeared. It started from the bottom of the Slaughter Tablet and shot upwards. In the blink of an eye, it had reached dozens of feet.
The Slaughter Tablet could allow one to comprehend the profundities within. It could also test the profundities one had comprehended.
The higher one's position on the Slaughter Tablet, the better the profundities one had comprehended.
Li Qiubai was the leader of the Hundred Heavens Alliance. This time, he was ranked fourth on the Sword Cliff. He was second only to Chu Huangji. He was a genius and had a great reputation. Therefore, many people knew him.
The crowd around the Slaughter Tablet stared at Li Qiubai's dot of cold light rising up the Slaughter Tablet. They could not take their eyes off it.
In the end, Li Qiubai's blood light stopped at the 90-foot mark of the Tablet of Slaughter. This was an astonishing height. Since ancient times, very few people who had comprehended the Tablet of Slaughter had been able to reach the 800-foot mark, and even fewer had reached the 90-foot mark.
"90-foot mark!" Li Qiubai's eyes revealed a hint of a smile.
Compared to Chu Mu, Li Qiubai's understanding of the Slaughter Tablet was much better. He knew that the 90-foot mark was definitely one of the best among all the prodigies since ancient times.
"Chu Wangting, it's your turn," Li Qiubai said slowly and looked at Chu Mu. He was full of confidence.
Chu Mu smiled slightly. Using his finger as a sword, he slashed out. The blood-red ray of light pierced through the air and slashed onto the Slaughter Tablet. It was directly absorbed by the Slaughter Tablet. It turned into a dot of blood-red light and rose from the bottom of the Slaughter Tablet. It shot upwards rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it had covered dozens of feet. Its speed did not seem to be any slower than Li Qiubai's.
Li Qiubai's expression became serious. Chu Mu looked on calmly. In terms of comprehension, he had never met anyone who could compare to him.
Confidence had long been ingrained in Chu Mu's bones, in the deepest part of his soul, and in the deepest part of his consciousness. This was the confidence that had been accumulated through countless victories. It was unshakable.
The blood-red ray was full of energy and continued to shoot upwards. Soon, it had exceeded 80-foot mark.
"80-foot mark."
"There's nothing strange about it. As the number one on the Sword Cliff, it would be strange if it didn't reach 80-foot mark."
"Can it reach 90-foot mark?"
"It's hard to say."
As everyone discussed, the blood-red ray had exceeded 80-foot mark and continued to shoot upwards.
85-foot mark!
Unknowingly, Li Qiubai became nervous.
Seeing that the blood-red ray was full of energy, it seemed that it could reach 90-foot mark.
As expected of a peerless prodigy. However, at most, it would be a draw with me, Li Qiubai thought to himself.
Just as this thought appeared, it was mercilessly shattered. Li Qiubai's eyes suddenly widened and almost popped out. There was only one thought in his mind.
How could it be!
That blood-red ray, the one that represented Chu Wangting's comprehension, had exceeded 90-foot mark and was still going up.
91-foot mark!
92-foot mark!
The blood-red ray was still full of energy and continued to shoot upwards.
Li Qiubai was stunned. The other geniuses of the Hundred Sky Alliance were also stunned.
Li Qiubai had lost?
Their Alliance Leader had lost?
The result of losing would be that the position of Alliance Leader of the Hundred Sky Alliance would belong to someone else. Would that still be the Hundred Sky Alliance?
For a moment, Li Qiubai's heart was filled with complicated emotions.
Finally, the blood-red ray stopped at the 99-foot mark. This was the highest point of the Tablet of Massacre. No one had ever reached this height. Now, someone had done it.
Chu Wangting!
The number one on the Sword Cliff, the peerless prodigy, Chu Wangting.
This time, the prodigy that he had comprehended from the Tablet of Massacre had reached a height of 99-foot. No one had done it before.
No one had done it before!
Li Qiubai was greatly shocked. It was as if he had been struck by lightning. He was dizzy and indescribable. He did not know what to say. In fact, his emotions were extremely complicated.
99-foot mark!
A height that no one had ever reached before. Perhaps no one would be able to reach it in the future.
What kind of comprehension ability was this?
When it came to comprehension ability, Chu Mu had always been the most outstanding. It was the same even when it came to the Spacetime Rotation. Moreover, as he was in the Sovereign Realm, his comprehension ability was even more thorough and vivid.
Even if there was someone whose comprehension ability was comparable to Chu Mu's, unless they were also in the Sovereign Realm, it would be impossible for them to reach the height that Chu Mu had reached.
Superb comprehension ability was like a kind of potential. Only when one's cultivation level was high enough could it be fully utilized. For example, a good sword in the hands of a weak person was completely different from in the hands of an expert.
After a long while, Li Qiubai came back to his senses. His voice was filled with bitterness. "You won."
How could he not feel bitter?
He had been full of confidence, but he had suffered a blow. The Hundred Sky Alliance that he had wholeheartedly built and developed had been given to someone else. This was his blood, sweat, and tears.
However, words that had been spoken were like water that could not be taken back and could not be taken back. Once he regretted it, not only would it be detrimental to his reputation, it would also have a negative impact on his future cultivation path. Therefore, he could only accept it.
"You lost." Chu Mu retracted his gaze from the Tablet of Massacre and said unhurriedly.
"In the future, you will be the Alliance Leader of the Hundred Heavens Alliance." Li Qiubai said with difficulty. This sentence seemed to have exhausted his strength. The expressions of the others changed drastically. They could not accept such an outcome.
"No need." Chu Mu said, startling Li Qiubai and the others.
"You created the Hundred Heavens Alliance single-handedly. Even if I become the Alliance Leader, how many people will obey me?" Chu Mu asked in return. "Moreover, I don't have the time to manage the Hundred Heavens Alliance. If I become the Alliance Leader, the Hundred Heavens Alliance will exist in name only."
Chu Mu's words were very reasonable because he would not spend time and energy to manage the Hundred Heavens Alliance. That was not the path he pursued. Therefore, if he became the Alliance Leader, it would be difficult to convince the others. There would even be members who would leave one after another, causing the Hundred Heavens Alliance to exist in name only.
Under the combination of various reasons, Chu Mu was naturally unwilling to accept the position of Alliance Leader. It might bring him some benefits, but it would also require him to pay a corresponding price, which was time and energy.
Li Qiubai thought for a moment and immediately understood the meaning of Chu Mu's words.
"Alright, the matter of Si Yufeng is written off." Li Qiubai's eyes flashed. He said solemnly, "From now on, you are an important friend of the Hundred Heavens Alliance. I will tell the other members that seeing you is like seeing the Alliance Leader of the Hundred Heavens Alliance. As long as you need help, the Hundred Heavens Alliance will do its best to help."
This was a promise, a solemn promise. Such a promise was almost equivalent to tying the Hundred Heavens Alliance to Chu Mu's war chariot. However, Chu Mu's action had gained their approval since Li Qiubai said it and the other members did not have any intention to refute.
Once they had gained their approval, many of the displeasing feelings they had before immediately changed. No matter how they looked at it, it was more pleasing to the eye.
"Si Yufeng, that guy, was greedy. He is courting death. He has only himself to blame." A member laughed. His ranking was higher than Si Yufeng's. "From now on, you are a friend of mine, Teng Yanwu."
The other geniuses of the Hundred Heavens Alliance also expressed their opinions, making everyone envious.
