(Third Update to You)
When they walked out of the Reflection Sword Jade Disc, the other three people besides Chen Zong were all excited. Their eyes shone brightly. It seemed like they had all gained a lot. A sharp aura rippled around them.
This was caused by the strengthening of the Sword Qi and not being able to fully control it.
When Chen Zong walked out, numerous gazes fell on him. They wanted to see what he had gained from the Reflection Sword Jade Disc.
Then, they were all slightly startled. They were a little surprised.
This was because Chen Zong, who had walked out, did not have the slightest bit of sharp aura ripples. Instead, he was extremely calm. Moreover, his expression seemed to be somewhat at a loss, and his eyes seemed to be filled with traces of confusion.
"He looks like he didn't gain anything, right?" The Oblique Wind Sword could not help but guess.
Generally speaking, one would gain something from the Reflection Sword Jade Disc. The more talented one was, the more obvious the gain would be.
Of course, there were always exceptions. Some people really did not gain anything. In fact, there were quite a few of them.
As time went on, it proved that those who did not gain anything from the Reflection Sword Jade Disc had almost exhausted their potential. It would be difficult for them to achieve anything in the future. They could not be compared to others.
Their glory and brilliance were like shooting stars. They disappeared in a flash. It was only temporary.
However, on the path of cultivation, there were temporary battles. Most of them were long-term battles. Only the one who had the last laugh would be the winner.
With Chen Zong, Su Luan left the Sword Palace and returned to his cave.
…
"It seems like Chen Zong did not gain anything from the Reflection Sword Jade Disc." After Chen Zong left, the Oblique Wind Sword sighed regretfully.
The Sword of No Return did not say anything, but a trace of regret flashed through his eyes.
He had a strong desire to compete with people who could defeat him in a head-on battle. He wanted to surpass them one day in the future and defeat them with his own hands.
But now, this person did not seem to gain anything from the Reflection Sword Jade Disc. His dazed expression was the expression of someone who did not gain anything from the Reflection Sword Jade Disc.
This meant that the strength of this person was only temporary. It was as though he had already unleashed all of his potential at this stage. In fact, he might even have overdrawn it. In the future, he would no longer have any potential left. It would probably be difficult for him to break through to the Spirit Ascension realm.
"Hmph, you're just a country bumpkin from a small place. You were lucky enough to obtain some secret technique that stimulated your potential in advance. That's why you have your current strength." Yan Xiaoxiao understood this very well. She sneered and said disdainfully, "Give me a few years and I will be stronger than him."
"Junior Sister, you're right. Perhaps you won't even need a year to kill him." The fourth true disciple of the Sword Palace flattered Chen Zong, but his heart was filled with killing intent toward Chen Zong. He had been defeated and injured in front of so many people, which was extremely humiliating.
Previously, he had felt terrified, helpless, and powerless. But now, he was full of confidence.
A person who did not gain anything from the Reflection Sword Jade Annulus would not have much of a future. Strength was only temporary. It was just a matter of time.
In the future, perhaps not long after, or even less than a year, with his gains from the Reflection Sword Jade Annulus, he might be able to surpass his opponent.
At that time, he would definitely take revenge for that sword attack.
…
"Did you gain anything from the Reflection Sword Jade Annulus?" Su Luan could not help but ask.
"There are a lot. It's hard to tell." Chen Zong's answer was simple.
But that was enough.
He was confused not because he had not gained anything, but because he had gained too much. It was hard to tell at the moment.
It was indeed so. On the Path of Swords, countless images appeared. As he walked, they became clearer and clearer.
Every image was a future.
Most of the true disciples entered the Reflection Sword Jade Annulus and saw their own futures. There were usually one to three images. Each image represented a possibility of the future, a goal and direction to move forward.
The best ones were five images. Then there would be six or seven. There would not be more than ten.
Ten images, ten futures. They were free to choose.
But the images Chen Zong saw on the Path of Swords were more than ten. There were more than a hundred. There were too many, and every one of them was unfathomable.
It was precisely because of this that Chen Zong was momentarily unable to determine which one was his future.
There were too many. It represented a shocking potential, but at the same time, it also represented a complexity that made it difficult to choose.
Choose one?
Or choose many?
This was the reason Chen Zong was confused. It was not what other people thought. There was no gain. His potential had been overdrawn. There was no future.
Su Luan's voice seemed to carry a trace of gentle and mysterious power. It entered Chen Zong's ears. "Don't be confused. Follow your heart's guidance and choice."
Chen Zong was slightly stunned, and it was as if he was cleansed by a clear spring. His confusion was instantly washed away, and he came to a sudden understanding.
There was no need to think so much.
Follow your heart.
From the past until now, hadn't he always been following his heart in the path of cultivation?
One image, ten images, a hundred images, or even hundreds or thousands of images? So what?
Could it be that he could only choose one?
Could it be that he could not choose many?
Could it be that he could not choose all of them?
Could it be that those images really represented his future?
No!
The future was in his hands, in his sword, and under his feet.
Those were only for reference.
If he really treated the images shown on the Reflecting Sword Jade Disc as his future, he would be unknowingly bound.
Perhaps he could not feel it now, but in the future, when he became stronger and stronger and reached the level of the images in the future, he would feel it.
In an instant, countless thoughts appeared in Chen Zong's mind. It was as if layers of fog had been removed. He could see his nature clearly.
How could a mere Reflecting Sword Jade Annulus be able to decide his future?
If he could, he would not have stayed in the Yiyuan Sect.
After all, wealth moved people's hearts. If one did not have enough strength, it would be impossible to keep a powerful treasure. It would have been forcefully taken away by those stronger forces.
No matter how well the Yiyuan Sect kept it a secret, after many years, it would be known.
But now, the Reflecting Sword Jade Disc was still here. This meant that it was not wanted by those cosmic realm forces. Perhaps they had something better.
It could be used as a reference, but it was not everything.
In an instant, Chen Zong's mind was completely clear.
Because he was no longer at a loss.
This time, he had comprehended the Reflecting Sword Jade Disc and glimpsed some of the so-called future. It could be used as a guide and reference. It was indeed beneficial.
Su Luan felt that Chen Zong's aura had changed. It had changed from being at a loss to being clear and resolute. It was also filled with an indescribable sharpness. It was as if he was even more determined than before.
Su Luan could not help but be amazed. She was very surprised. She valued Chen Zong even more in her heart.
…
Bai Mei came to find him.
"Let's fight." Bai Mei, who had a small face, had a serious expression. Her body was filled with a tyrannical aura.
She challenged Chen Zong to a battle.
As soon as her voice fell, she did not wait for Chen Zong to answer. She stomped her feet and the ground beneath her shook. A tyrannical force pushed her body. In an instant, she rushed over a hundred meters. She raised her small snow-white fist and suddenly punched out.
That punch was covered with a layer of tyrannical white halo. It was the combination of the tyrannical power cultivated by the Yuangong Cultivation Method and the Dao Will that Bai Mei herself had comprehended.
Her Dao Will had also reached the peak of 100%.
This punch seemed very small, but it contained an incomparably majestic and tyrannical power. It was extremely violent. It was like a meteor that came crashing down.
Layers of ripples appeared in the void under the fist. It turned into a raging wave that overflowed in all directions.
"I knew it would be like this." Li Wenhe slapped his head and smiled bitterly.
Eldest Senior Sister was like this. Once she said something, she would not wait for others to agree or disagree. She would immediately attack.
However, Brother Chen was not weak. He should be able to block it.
He only hoped that Eldest Senior Sister would retain some rationality when she went crazy.
Li Wenhe did not know that the Sword of No Return had also been defeated by Chen Zong's sword.
Bai Mei's fist came crashing down in a violent and unreasonable manner. It was as if her small, jade-like fist could shatter all obstacles in front of it.
The tyrannical punch seemed to be able to shatter Chen Zong's body. However, there was no murderous intent.
This was a competition, not a fight to the death.
Although it was not a fight to the death, if Chen Zong could not block this punch, he would be seriously injured.
Chen Zong's expression did not change. He was not moved by Bai Mei's violent punch.
In fact, this punch was indeed very strong. If it had been before he came to the Yiyuan Sect, he would have had to use all his strength to block it.
However, now, even he did not know what the limit of his combat strength was.
He unsheathed his sword!
This was a form of respect for his opponent.
Bai Mei was not an enemy.
The Violet Thunder Sword was instantly unsheathed. However, Chen Zong did not integrate the Heart Sword Essence into it.
The moment the sword was unsheathed, it turned into a purple thunderbolt and pierced through the sky.
Rumble!
The thunderous sound of the sword Qi roared and shook in all directions. Its power was extremely shocking and terrifying.
Just this one slash was enough to display an unparalleled and shocking power.
Bai Mei's eyes were filled with fanaticism. White light filled the air. Her aura seemed to become more and more tyrannical.
When the fist and the sword collided, they shook and then exploded. It was as if the surrounding void was being torn apart.
Of course, the space of a high-grade star was extremely strong. Even if an Imminent God expert attacked, it would be difficult to tear the void apart, let alone two Demigod experts.
Li Wenhe's face was full of shock.
Brother Chen was too strong. He could actually meet Eldest Senior Sister head-on. That was Eldest Senior Sister's specialty.
Boom!
Bai Mei threw out another punch, followed by a third, fourth, and fifth punch.
Both of his fists blasted out at a shocking speed, transforming into fist shadows that filled the sky, filling up the area in front of him. It was as though he wanted to devour Chen Zong, wanting to smash him into smithereens.
Chen Zong's figure could not be seen. It was as if he was really devoured.
