Defeating Tao Fang in one strike had made Chu Mu even more famous.
Unparalleled Sword Art Glory was well deserved. No one doubted or disagreed with him.
A month passed peacefully. Within this month, Chu Mu's sword art had improved again. He was even closer to the second level of the Sword Art Domain. His cultivation was still stuck at the peak of the Origin Realm. Dacheng had reached the bottleneck. His sword intent and other aspects had also improved.
The second stage of the Unparalleled Sword Master Gathering had begun.
In front of the ten thousand sword masters was a palace. Above the closed door of the palace, there was a plaque with three words written on it: Futu Palace.
"Within the Futu Palace, there is a Futu for you to comprehend. The more you comprehend, the first place will receive the glory of unparalleled comprehension." The manager of the Futu Palace was also a Sword Saint. As he spoke, his gaze swept across the ten thousand sword masters and landed on Chu Mu's face.
Hundred Saints Alliance's Sword Saints all recognized Chu Mu due to his unparalleled sword techniques.
"So the second stage is a competition of comprehension …" The sword masters were enlightened.
"Oh no, my comprehension is not outstanding. This time, I will not be able to get first place." Some of the sword masters who knew their limits were depressed.
"The glory of peerless perception belongs to me this time." Some of the Sword Venerables who were very confident in their perception whispered to themselves. Their faces were full of divine light.
However, among the ten thousand sword masters, there were quite a few who believed that their comprehension was outstanding. Who would be able to obtain the glory of unparalleled comprehension in the end?
The Sword Saint of the Futu Palace waved his sleeve. The door of the Futu Palace opened and a mysterious aura spread out.
"Go in." The Sword Saint of the Futu Palace said lightly.
The ten thousand sword masters moved and quickly entered through the door.
The Futu Palace was infinitely large. In front of each of the ten thousand sword masters was a Futu. Beside the Futu, there was an hourglass that began to let out silver sand.
"Comprehension … comprehension."
"It should be to comprehend the Futu in front of us."
The sword masters looked at the hourglass beside them. They either stood or sat down cross-legged. Staring at the Futu in front of them, they cleared their thoughts and started to comprehend.
If he guessed correctly, the hourglass beside him was a time-limited item.
Once the silver sand in the hourglass ran out, if one still hadn't fully comprehended the mysteries of the stupa in front of him, it would mean that he had failed.
The silver sand slowly fell, neither fast nor slow. About one-tenth of the silver hourglass was gone, hundreds of Sword Venerables' bodies emitted white light and disappeared in the next breath.
Just as the hundreds of Sword Venerables disappeared, another thousand Sword Venerables emitted white light and disappeared as well.
In just three breaths of time, more than five thousand Sword Venerables had disappeared. The other Sword Venerables were trying their best to comprehend the Sword Dao, and more and more people were disappearing.
When the silver hourglass was half empty, there was not a single Honorable Swordsman left on the first level of the Stupa Palace. Everyone had entered the second level.
The level of comprehension was also relative.
These ten thousand Sword Venerables stood out from hundreds of thousands of other Sword Venerables. They were definitely the pinnacle of Sword Venerables in the Ancient Sword Continent. Their strength was extraordinary, and to be able to reach their current level, other than their fortuitous encounters and hard work, they also had outstanding comprehension.
However, among these ten thousand Sword Venerables, some had higher comprehension, while others had lower comprehension. Naturally, those with higher comprehension would comprehend faster, while those with lower comprehension would comprehend slower.
The Futu in the first level of Stupa Palace was not difficult to comprehend.
The second level of Stupa Palace also had ten thousand Futu and ten thousand hourglasses. The ten thousand Sword Venerables were either standing or sitting in front of the Futu to comprehend.
When they first entered the first level, the Sword Venerables had not fully entered the state of comprehension. After the first level's buffer, the Sword Venerables immediately entered the state of comprehension upon entering the second level.
About one-tenth of the silver sand in the hourglass fell. Another hundred Sword Venerables were enveloped by the white light and disappeared in an instant. It was almost the same.
Stupa Palace's third level!
Stupa Palace's fourth level!
Stupa Palace's fifth level!
At this level, the Futu was even more complex and mysterious. The difficulty of comprehending it was obviously higher.
The comprehension of these ten thousand Sword Venerables was beginning to show.
When one-fifth of the silver sand in the hourglass fell, the bodies of the ten Sword Venerables emitted a white light and disappeared. If one were to look closely, they would notice that there were differences in the amount of time that the Sword Venerables disappeared. It was just that the differences were too minute and looked the same.
About three thousand Sword Venerables succeeded in comprehending the Futu and entered the sixth level of Stupa Palace. The remaining Sword Venerables remained on the fifth level.
The silver sand in the hourglass fell bit by bit, and time was running out.
There was no time to rush. Everyone held their breaths and focused on comprehending.
When the last bit of silver sand landed, among the seven thousand or so Sword Venerables, another few hundred Sword Venerables glowed with white light as they successfully entered the sixth level. The other Sword Venerables glowed with black light as they disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, more than six thousand Sword Venerables appeared outside Stupa Palace.
On the sixth level of Stupa Palace, more than three thousand Sword Venerables corresponded to more than three thousand Futu.
Time passed slowly. The silver sand in the hourglass fell slowly. Not long later, half of the sand had fallen.
More than a dozen Sword Venerables emitted a white light. Following that, another few dozen Sword Venerables emitted a white light and disappeared in a flash.
On the sixth level of Stupa Palace, more than two thousand Sword Venerables failed and were sent out of Stupa Palace.
On the seventh level of Stupa Palace, more than a thousand Sword Venerables continued to comprehend.
No one spoke because they all knew that time was of the essence. The Futu was getting more and more complex, and the difficulty was getting higher. If they were to miss a little bit of time and fail, they would feel like dying.
Stupa Palace's eighth level!
More than eight hundred Sword Venerables were eliminated.
Stupa Palace's ninth level!
More than four hundred Sword Venerables were eliminated.
Stupa Palace's tenth level!
Sixty-three Sword Venerables were eliminated.
On the eleventh level of Stupa Palace, only thirteen Sword Venerables entered.
The eleventh level was not much different from the previous ten levels. It was just that the Futu was more complex and profound. The hourglass on one side was twice as big. The speed of the falling silver sand did not change, which meant that the time taken to comprehend the Futu was twice as long.
With a quick glance, the thirteen Sword Venerables saw each other clearly. When they saw Chu Mu, they were shocked but soon felt relieved.
That's right, at such a young age, his sword skills were so outstanding. If he did not have a high level of comprehension, he would not have been able to achieve it.
In the beginning, the cultivation of sword skills relied on hard work. But after reaching a certain level, it was hard to make any significant progress just by hard work. When one reached a bottleneck, even if one trained hard for months or years, they would not be able to make any progress.
At this point, one had to rely on comprehension. In order to comprehend, one had to have a high enough level of comprehension. The higher the level of comprehension, the faster one could comprehend.
Chu Mu's sword skills were so shocking, his comprehension must be very high as well. It was only natural that the other twelve Sword Venerables were no longer surprised. They cast aside this fleeting thought and stared at the Futu in front of them. They entered a state of comprehension and focused on comprehending.
Chu Mu also saw the twelve Sword Venerables clearly. They were the top ten Sword Venerables. Other than that, there were two Sword Venerables that he did not recognize. They looked to be in their thirties.
Perhaps in the past, these two Sword Venerables were not so famous. But after this, regardless of whether they could obtain the glory of unparalleled comprehension, their names would definitely spread far and wide. This was because they were two of the thirteen Sword Venerables who could enter the eleventh level of the Futu Palace out of 10,000 Sword Venerables.
Chu Mu stared at the Futu in front of him. The patterns on the Futu were very complicated. After careful observation and comprehension, a similar image appeared in Chu Mu's Spiritual World. It was just that it was very blurry.
As he comprehended, the Futu pattern in his Spiritual World became clearer bit by bit. Finally, the outline appeared, but the patterns on it were still very blurry.
This method of comprehension was very direct. As long as the Futu was clearly displayed in his Spiritual World, it would be equivalent to a successful comprehension.
Lines and lines appeared on the Futu in his Spiritual World. The silver sand in the hourglass beside him fell slowly. Time passed slowly, and the eleventh level was silent.
"It's done!" He muttered to himself. The last pattern was formed, and the Futu in his Spiritual World became clear. It was exactly the same as the Futu outside. There was no difference at all. It was as if the Futu had been directly transferred into his Spiritual World.
Chu Mu's body emitted a white light, which immediately alerted the other Sword Venerables.
In the next moment, Chu Mu disappeared.
Immediately after, another Sword Venerables emitted a white light and entered the twelfth level of the Futu Palace after Chu Mu.
Not long after, the third Sword Venerables also emitted a white light and entered the twelfth level of the Futu Palace.
…
"Brother Chu, Brother Chu Mu, you took the glory of unparalleled swordsmanship. This time, you can't be thinking of taking the glory of unparalleled comprehension, right?" Su Haosha looked at Chu Mu and laughed.
Currently, only three Sword Venerables had entered the twelfth level. However, because the comprehension of the eleventh level was still ongoing, the comprehension of the twelfth level had not started yet. The Futu had not appeared yet.
"I have such a plan." Chu Mu smiled faintly and said.
"Arrogant!" The other Sword Venerables glared at Chu Mu and snorted.
Chu Mu recognized him. He was one of the Sword Saint's ten experts, Lie Shanhu. He was tall and strong, and his eyes were like a tiger's. He was extremely imposing, and those with weaker willpower would feel a lack of confidence when stared at by these eyes.
Unfortunately, Chu Mu's willpower was strong and unshakable. He was not afraid of Lie Shanhu's stare.
"The glory of unparalleled comprehension will be mine." Lie Shanhu said again and shut his mouth.
At this time, another figure appeared on the twelfth level. It was one of the two Sword Venerables that Chu Mu did not recognize.
This Sword Venerables had a cold expression on his face. He swept a glance at Chu Mu's group and ignored them.
After a while, four Futu Palaces appeared in front of the four Sword Venerables. Beside them, an hourglass appeared.
On the eleventh level of the Futu Palace, a total of nine Sword Venerables were eliminated. Only four Sword Venerables succeeded and entered the twelfth level to continue their comprehension.
The Futu Palace's twelfth level's Futu Palace was twice as complex and mysterious as the one on the eleventh level … If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
