Above the Sword House, the Wordless Scroll floated up and down. The true meaning of the Dao was revealed and murky air permeated the air.
Everyone's eyes were heated and they were intoxicated.
The Encyclopedia of the Sword was a heavenly treasure that pointed directly to the origin of Dao. To any living being, it was a great fortune.
Therefore, other than the Supreme Headmaster and the 18 peak leaders, everyone else was quietly enlightening themselves.
The reason why they didn't enlighten themselves was because they've already done it many times and it was very difficult for them to learn anything else.
"I wonder if this time, I will be able to add another supreme technique to the Sword House."
The Sword House Supreme Headmaster was hopeful. The 18 peak leaders were the same.
Every time an unparalleled technique was added, the Sword House's foundation deepened. Why wouldn't they be hopeful?
There were two people they had high hopes for. One was the Elder of Nine Swords, the other was Ling Xian.
The former was extremely talented and was widely recognized. The latter had entered the Anatta Realm and was extraordinary.
Even though the Sword Sect Leader and the others did not like him because he suppressed the Twelfth Sword, they had to admit that he was the person with the highest possibility of comprehending the Supreme Sword Technique. In fact, he had a higher chance of comprehending the Supreme Sword Technique than the Nine Abandonment Old Man.
Because this was Ling Xian's first time enlightening himself, the Elder of Nine Swords had done it many times. It would be very difficult for him to learn more.
"Hopefully, he will be able to comprehend the supreme sword technique."
The Sword House Supreme Headmaster sighed with complex emotions and no longer spoke.
At once, the entire Sword House silenced. Everyone who was enlightening themselves with the Encyclopedia of the Sword was intoxicated and unable to free themselves.
Ling Xian was no exception.
It was as if he had entered an ocean of sword techniques. All he could see were sword techniques.
Little people appeared one after another and began to practice sword techniques. Though there was no Qi, they were all very intricate.
However, none of them were what Ling Xian wanted.
Though these sword techniques were intricate, they were only at the ultimate level. What he wanted was an unparalleled technique.
Therefore, Ling Xian concentrated and searched in silence.
Time passed by little by little. After two hours, a ray of light sliced across the sky. It was sharp enough to split open the sky and split the earth.
Then, Ling Xian saw a little person.
He formed a sword and began to practice the technique. Every move was extraordinary.
"A peerless Great Divine Ability level sword art. No, it should be an incomplete peerless Sword Art."
Ling Xian's spirit was first refreshed. Then, he frowned.
This sword art was missing the most crucial part. Although it could still be considered a supreme divine ability, it was a bottom-tier existence.
"Let's continue searching. If we can't find it, we'll come back and try to comprehend it."
Ling Xian sighed. Then, he calmed himself down and continued his search.
One by one, little people appeared in his mind, and all kinds of sword techniques were being practiced in his mind. However, he discarded them all like old shoes.
It was only a sword technique at the level of a great technique. With his current strength, only a supreme great technique was worth the effort to cultivate.
If someone saw this scene, they would definitely cry out in alarm and feel extremely ashamed.
Although sword manuals contained countless sword arts, they were very rare. To be able to see more than ten of them was already extraordinary.
To think that Ling Xian's mind was filled with sword techniques was unbelievable!
"Do I have to return empty-handed …?"
Ling Xian sighed helplessly. He had already seen hundreds of sword techniques. Without exception, they were all at the grandmaster level.
No, there was an exception, but it was a damaged unmatched sword art that was useless.
Just then, a ball of light suddenly appeared, emitting a weak light.
This startled Ling Xian. He tried to approach the ball of light with his consciousness. However, he was stopped by a mysterious force.
"It seems like there is something extraordinary hidden inside."
Ling Xian became alert. For one, he has been studying for so long and has never seen a ball of light. For two, he hasn't encountered the mysterious force.
These two points were enough to prove that this object was extraordinary.
Immediately, the space between Ling Xian's brows began to emit light. He attempted to break through the mysterious force's obstruction and find out the secret of the ball of light.
At first, his consciousness and the mysterious force were evenly matched. Neither of them could do anything to the other.
However, as time went on, the mysterious force weakened and in the end, Ling Xian completely suppressed it.
Then, he used his consciousness to read the ball of light and revealed a look of joy.
This was all because the ball of light contained the laws of the sword. It was even more valuable than a supreme technique!
"It contains the laws of the sword. It is no wonder it is called a supreme treasure …"
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up, satisfied.
The laws of the sword were far too valuable. Though there was only a tiny bit of it, it was still an existence that could not be measured. Even the Elder of Nine Abandonments was tempted by it.
At once, Ling Xian held his breath and calmed himself down.
Six hours later, he comprehended the essence of the Sword Dao contained in the ball of light, and his attainments in the Sword Dao became more profound.
"This trip was worth it. Even if I can't find the supreme technique, it was worth it."
Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction. Then, he calmed himself down and continued to search for the supreme technique.
Sadly, he still didn't see the shadow of the supreme technique. What he saw was only powerful techniques.
"Oh well, it's probably because my fortune hasn't arrived yet. I should leave."
Ling Xian softly smiled. He was not disappointed.
To be able to obtain the laws of the sword was already a great fortune. What was there to be dissatisfied about?
Just as Ling Xian was about to leave, all the little people who were practicing their sword techniques suddenly disappeared. Not a single one was left.
Then, a different little person appeared. The reason why it was different was because its eyes were filled with sword intent that was incomparably sharp.
It was as if it was a heavenly sword, pure and terrifying.
"The emperor of swords? The moment it appeared, all the little people disappeared." Ling Xian's eyes revealed his shock. He didn't think such a strange little person would exist.
Whooosh!
The sword's intent howled. The moment the little person made a move, it revealed its sharpness. Even Ling Xian was startled.
There was surprise and happiness.
The former was because the sword's intent was terrifying. The latter was because this was a supreme technique.
"I finally found it."
Ling Xian revealed a smile. Feeling the power of the sword, his smile grew.
Even though he hasn't learned it yet, he was certain that this was a very powerful technique. It was not weaker than the First Sword!
Therefore, he carefully watched the little person's every move and began to study it.
This technique was as profound as the ocean and unpredictable. Ling Xian spent a full three days before he had an inkling of what to do.
This was because he was extremely enlightened. If this was anyone else, they would've needed 30 days.
"What a profound technique. It will take me at least half a year to learn it."
Ling Xian frowned. But very quickly, he relaxed.
There was no time limit for the third round of the gathering. Studying it for a few years was fine. Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to learn the supreme technique first.
If he didn't see the technique and still refused to leave, the Sword House would not tolerate it.
"There is no rush. I will study it in peace."
Ling Xian softly smiled. He calmly studied the technique, completely unaware that the outside world was boiling because of him.
"Supreme technique, he is definitely enlightening himself with a supreme technique!"
"Surrounded by the Dao and filled with sword's intent. This is a phenomenon that only happens when someone is enlightening themselves with a supreme technique!"
"I cannot believe he would have such fortune. I am so jealous."
"Sadly, there is no point in being jealous. Not everyone can encounter such fortune."
Looking at Ling Xian, who was releasing his sword's intent, everyone who had given up on enlightenment exclaimed. They were shocked and envious.
The Sword House Supreme Headmaster and the 18 peak leaders fell into ecstasy.
