Li Qingshan closed his eyes slowly, and his mind calmed down. There were no longer any ripples.
In terms of comprehension, he had never believed he was particularly powerful. When he first saw the Cursive Sword Calligraphy, he was completely unable to understand it. Instead, it was Little Ann who had comprehended a sword style and passed it on to him.
However, through his observations Just Now, he discovered that comprehending the Sword Scripture of Heaven and Earth did not actually require comprehension, but deduction.
The two often seemed similar, but they were actually fundamentally different.
Comprehension was a flash of inspiration when an apple fell on your head, while deduction was a large number of calculations, eliminations, and experiments. Although the final objective was to obtain a correct answer, the abilities they required were actually different.
The Banyan Tree King had comprehended the laws of the world through the Mist province cauldron because of his tremendous branching to derive them, not some sort of comprehension.
No one could comprehend all the sword forms in the Sword of Heaven and Earth, but it was not because the Sword Collection palace was lacking in people. In the past ten thousand years, there had been so many astounding figures, so how could there not be someone with extraordinary comprehension? Little Ann's comprehension could be described as supreme, but it had not reached an unprecedented level. Instead, it was because the complexity of the Sword Scripture of Heaven and Earth had surpassed the limits of what a single person could derive.
When it came to deduction, Li Qingshan was filled with confidence. This was exactly what the spirit turtle was best at!
He silently practised the Spirit Turtle's Method of Sea Suppression, and his mind reflected the entire Sword of Heaven and Earth. Afterwards, he began to derive it.
Li Qingshan raised his hand, and a strand of gentle wind was grasped in his palm.
"Sword Scripture of Heaven and Earth, first form!"
The Sword of Heaven and Earth that had just settled down began to surge again, but this time, it was with Li Qingshan at the centre.
Li Qingshan raised his arm gently, and a gentle wind stirred in his palm. It was gentle at times, swift at other times, constantly changing.
"The second form, the third form, the fourth form …"
Li Qingshan began to dance around, and the entire Sword of Heaven and Earth danced with him.
The grass grew, the stream gurgled, the carp swam, and the pebbles were silent.
Every posture and every scenery possessed a sword form.
In a short while, Li Qingshan had deduced 538 styles.
The Heaven and Earth Elders were dumbfounded. They had spent more than a year to understand so many sword forms, but an heretic who was not even a sword cultivator had deduced them in an instant. It was beyond their imagination.
Elder Tian said, "Junior Brother, you don't have to be too surprised. His cultivation is already at the third Heavenly Tribulation, which is a realm higher than ours at that time. His divine sense is many times faster, so it's only natural that he'll be able to comprehend these simple sword forms very quickly. This is just the beginning."
"Senior Brother is right. The more sword forms there are in the Book of Heaven and Earth Scripture, the more profound and obscure it will be. Soon, he will know how powerful it is."
As expected, when he deduced the 767th move, Li Qingshan's movements gradually slowed down, but they were still as smooth as flowing water.
He pushed the spirit turtle's powers of divination to the limit. Compared to the unpredictable heavenly secrets and fate, the Sword Scripture of Heaven and Earth hidden in the Realm of Heaven and Earth was not particularly complicated.
Elder Di asked in surprise, "Where did he come from? How can he comprehend it so quickly? Even great cultivators can't comprehend it so quickly! "
Elder Tian asked in doubt, "Is he really a natural-born prodigy of the sword?"
Elder Di answered with a question, "Then what do we count as?"
Elder Tian was unable to answer either. All those who could become great sword cultivators were prodigies of the sword. They were the best of the best.
"Let's keep watching! He'll reach a great bottleneck very soon. The sword forms he's comprehending right now are only the most basic. "
When Li Qingshan reached the one thousand and first form, he suddenly paused, as he had already comprehended all the most basic elements in the Realm of Heaven and Earth Scripture, from a blade of grass or a droplet of dew to a cloud or a mountain range.
"Li Qingshan, I admit that you are indeed a person of my path of the sword. To be able to comprehend over a thousand sword forms in such a short amount of time, it's enough for you to enter the history of the Sword Collection palace," elder Tian said in amazement. There was even a sense of relief in his voice.
"Alright, let's stop here for today! Don't bite off more than you can chew. You'll need at least a decade to completely grasp these thousand sword forms. It'll be enough for you to use for the rest of your life, "said elder Di.
"Can you shut up? Don't disturb other people when they're cultivating. You're already so old, yet you don't even have this bit of common sense?" Li Qingshan barked rudely.
"You-" Elder Tian and Elder Tian were both furious. The world changed color because of them. Just how many years had it been since someone dared to talk to them like that?
"You really don't know what's good for you! Then continue comprehending. If you can't comprehend one thousand nine hundred and fifty-one forms, don't even think about leaving the Realm of Heaven and Earth Scripture, "elder Di said furiously.
"Don't compare me to you?" Li Qingshan thought about it for a while before suddenly thinking of something. "I've got it!"
Li Qingshan began to move again. He formed a sword with his fingers and pointed them at the sky.
Rumble!
A bolt of lightning pierced through the sky. The clouds surged and piled up. A slanting drizzle fell and merged into the stream. The stream seeped into the soil, causing plants to sprout and flourish. The bugs hidden in the soil crawled up the leaves and made their own sounds.
It was Just Now when Elder Tian and Elder Tian tested him that he was enlightened. Just gathering all the basic elements could not be called a world. These elements had to interact with each other to produce more changes.
Therefore, he disrupted, reorganized, and evolved …
After introducing these changes, the difficulty of derivation multiplied. However, although Li Qingshan's movements were slow, he did not stop.
The spirit turtle was as calm as it could be. It was also as patient as it could be. It continued to deduce each move.
Elder Tian and Elder Tian were already speechless. They could not help but shout in their hearts, "Slow down, slow down!"
However, Li Qingshan did not care about their feelings. Not long after, he surpassed the "one thousand nine hundred and fifty-one forms" that Elder Di had mentioned. After a few more days, he surpassed Elder Tian's "two thousand one hundred and forty-two forms".
The Heaven and Earth Sword Realm began to show changes that Elder Tian and Elder Tian had never seen before.
The sun rose and set. The moon and stars moved. Frost covered the ground. Winter snow fell.
Other than the basic cycle of life and death, Li Qingshan introduced the four seasons and the four seasons.
Elder Tian and Elder Tian had no other thoughts. They stared blankly at this scene. What happened next was like a dream. One moment, it was the lonely desert. The next moment, it was the raging sea.
Li Qingshan was like a god. He stood at the center of the world and manipulated everything in the world. Whether it was the coldness of the glaciers or the fierceness of the erupting volcanoes, they all contained mysterious sword forms.
After who knew how long, Li Qingshan suddenly opened his eyes. The Sword Realm of Heaven and Earth had suddenly shattered. He was currently standing in a dark, deep, lofty hall. Two sword-wielding old men sat nearby, staring at him blankly. Their mouths were agape, completely unaware of what had just happened.
Li Qingshan stepped out of the pavilion. He only said three words that echoed in the Heaven and Earth Pavilion.
