He reached the top!
Chen Zong had made it to the top of the Kill Arena. Standing at the top, he was stared at by a group of registered disciples and true disciples.
True disciple Wan Xing's gaze was focused. His expression was solemn, and there was a hint of shock in his eyes.
He … had done it in one go.
Once!
This was merely his first attempt at the Hundred Battles and Hundred Kills Arena, yet he had already succeeded and reached the top.
Wan Xing remembered very clearly that the pressure he had endured during his first attempt at the Kill Arena had intensified. The pressure had made him feel like he was about to collapse.
From start to finish, he used a total of five times before he successfully passed the Hundred Battles Hundred Kills Platform and reached the top.
Most of the disciples in the same batch as him had failed after ten tries and had to leave Sword Mountain. The most outstanding one had used three tries, and the most had used eight.
There were very, very few people who could pass the Kill Arena on their first try. Throughout the history of the four major Dao Colleges, there were less than ten people who could do it.
Although the Underworld Crown Prince had reached the 100th level and was only a hair's breadth away from reaching the top, the difference between passing and reaching the top was not just a hair's breadth.
The pressure on the Kill Arena would continue to increase. In the end, it would collapse like a leaf on a decaying mountain.
In the past, there had been some who had reached the 100th level on their first try, but still failed on their second try. They had only succeeded on their third try.
Of course, there were also a few who had reached the top on their second try.
All in all, Chen Zong had reached the top on his first try, which was undoubtedly shocking.
"Good lad, you're really not bad." The dean of the Destruction Dao College couldn't help but smile.
Chen Zong discovered that there was a door after reaching the top of the Kill Arena. It was a door that led to an unknown place. Looking at the door, Chen Zong suddenly became excited.
Pushing open the door, a unique Sword Dao aura spread out and circled around the door.
It was the aura of Sword Dao, the origin of Sword Dao.
Stepping into the portal, Chen Zong's vision was filled with a vast expanse of whiteness. He couldn't see anything, but it quickly dissipated. Chen Zong saw a sword.
It was a snow-white sword. There was no hilt, only a huge sword blade. It was suspended in the air, motionless.
This sword blade was five meters long and half a meter wide. The aura it emitted was very mysterious and sharp.
Wisps of white sword Qi circled around the blade as if they were swallowing and spitting out.
The origin of Sword Dao!
This was the source of Sword Dao!
Sword Master Dong Ting had used some unknown means to intercept a fragment of Sword Principle Origin from the void.
The feeling that Chen Zong got from this gigantic sword was indescribable. It was a mysterious and self-contained entity, as if it was the strongest object in the void, and contained an unparalleled, unparalleled power.
This was a rare opportunity, so he started to comprehend.
There was no time limit for comprehending the Sword Dao. However, no matter how powerful a Demigod rank expert was, they wouldn't be able to comprehend for long before they couldn't bear it.
Just like how the effects of force were mutual, comprehending the Sword Dao would also require one to bear the pressure and burden.
Chen Zong sat down cross-legged in front of the Sword Dao Origin. This was the posture he had used when he first started cultivating, so he had long since gotten used to it.
Chen Zong began to meditate. In the outside world, the nominal disciples and true disciples dispersed and returned to their own places. Each and every one of them was determined to become stronger. They had to work even harder to cultivate themselves so that they could pass the Hundred Battles Kill Platform for the second or third time and reach the top to comprehend the Sword Dao Source.
They didn't know the cruel truth. Among them, there were less than ten who could pass the Battle of a Hundred Kills Platform in the remaining nine times. Most of them couldn't pass the Battle of a Hundred Kills Platform and were eliminated from the Eastern Court Sword Mountain. They had no chance of obtaining the superb inheritance of the Eastern Court Sword Mountain.
The Sword Master of the East Court was different from the other Sword Masters. He was more willing to provide a path for his juniors, but it wasn't unlimited.
If you were just a piece of mud that couldn't be helped, the Sword Master of the East Court wouldn't waste his time on you.
Perhaps the current operation of the Dongting Sword Mountain no longer required his power or his time and energy. However, everything in the Dongting Sword Mountain belonged to the Dongting Sword Master himself. It was his property.
"I wonder how long you can comprehend it?" Chen Zong thought to himself as he looked back at the Myriad Star Inheritance.
How long?
That was the question.
Different people would take different amounts of time to comprehend the Sword Dao Origin. Generally speaking, the longer one comprehended the Sword Dao Origin, the more benefits one would gain.
If one comprehended the Sword Dao Origin for a short period of time, the benefits would be less. Although it wasn't absolute, it was basically the case.
If one tried to comprehend the Sword Dao Origin at the Demigod level, one would be constantly suppressed by the Sword Dao Origin, creating a huge burden. When one couldn't bear the burden, they would automatically leave. This was a protective mechanism left behind by the Sword Master of the East Court.
"Back then, I only comprehended the Sword Dao Origin for twenty breaths," Wan Xing thought to himself. "Among the same batch, the longest time was only thirty breaths.
"As far as I know, even the four most outstanding Sword Sons could only last fifty breaths at most when they comprehended the Sword Dao Origin for the first time."
The difference in difficulty between one breath more and one breath less was very obvious. Especially towards the end, the burden would continue to accumulate and become stronger. Every breath was an astonishing improvement.
However, he didn't know how long Chen Zong could last this time.
The first time he comprehended the Sword Dao Origin, he had no experience. If it was the second time, he would have some experience and would usually last a little longer.
Chen Zong began to comprehend the Sword Dao Origin. Time passed breath by breath.
As soon as he started comprehending, he immediately entered the state of comprehension.
It was as if his vision blurred and he had arrived in a void. An incomparably huge sword-light directly struck down from the highest point of the void, as if it was going to penetrate the void. It was incomparably vast, overbearing, fierce, sharp, and imposing.
Chen Zong's mind trembled in an instant, as if he had lost all his senses.
It felt as if a thousand years had passed, but in fact, it was only an instant. Chen Zong woke up. The sword-light that struck down from the highest point of the void exploded, turning into countless sword-lights that pervaded the surroundings.
The aura emitted by each sword-light was different.
Some of the sword-lights emitted an aura that was bright and upright, while others emitted an aura that was dark and gloomy, with a ghostly aura.
Some of the sword-lights were peerlessly sharp, while others were incomparably powerful.
Some of the sword-lights were violent and overbearing, while others were soft and tenacious.
There were more than tens of thousands of sword-lights in the void, which represented the profoundness of countless swordsmanship.
The origin of Sword Principle was originally the collection of the profoundness of countless sword techniques.
For a moment, Chen Zong felt dazzled, but Chen Zong was not confused. Instead, he quickly sensed.
There were countless sword techniques and Sword Principles, but they were not the true essence. What Chen Zong wanted to comprehend was the essence. If he could master the essence, he could quickly practice and master all sword techniques and Sword Principles.
The essence was where the true origin lay.
Time passed slowly. Chen Zong kept searching and withstanding the pressure of the origin of Sword Principle. The burden was accumulating bit by bit.
Relying on the sensing of the Heart Sword Intent, Chen Zong found the essence of the origin of Sword Principle, which was the essence.
It was a finger-thick sword light. Its color was dim and inconspicuous. The aura it emitted was also very weak, so it was easy to ignore.
However, when Chen Zong's mind was completely focused on the sword light, he felt an extremely pure aura of Sword Principle pervading, as if it had enveloped his mind.
That aura was not sharp, domineering, bright, gloomy, cold, or anything else. It was pure, pure to the extreme, without the slightest trace of purity mixed in.
This kind of purity meant the essence and infinite possibilities.
As Chen Zong continued to comprehend the origin of Sword Principle, when Chen Zong found the fundamental essence of the origin of Sword Principle with the sensing of the Heart Sword Intent, the origin of Sword Principle suddenly trembled.
Unknowingly, a gaze seemed to appear and stare at him.
"This man can actually cause the origin of Sword Principle to resonate."
The Way of the Sword Origin was something that Sword Master Dong Ting had obtained with great difficulty. It was a treasure that completely belonged to Sword Master Dong Ting. Although it was placed here for others to comprehend, no one could take it away except for Sword Master Dong Ting.
Sword Master Dongting would be the first to know if there was any change in the origin of Sword Principle.
The origin of Sword Principle resonated!
It sounded incomprehensible, but only the true experts in the void understood the meaning behind it.
A mere Demigod level expert could cause the origin of Sword Principle to resonate. This meant that his talent and potential in Sword Principle were extremely amazing. Perhaps it had not been fully revealed yet, and Sword Master Dongting himself was not very clear about it. However, as he cultivated and improved his realm, his talent would become more obvious and astonishing.
"I'm afraid I couldn't do it back then," Sword Master Dongting said to himself. Swordmaster Dong Ting murmured. His gaze landed on Chen Zong. His eyes glowed as if he wanted to see through Chen Zong.
Chen Zong could not sense any of this. Firstly, he was wholeheartedly comprehending the origin of Sword Principle at this moment. Secondly, how could Chen Zong discover the means of an expert like Sword Master Dongting?
"I wonder if this man can refine this origin of Sword Principle?"
"If he can do it …"
"What an enviable talent. If I had such talent back then, I might have been able to go further."
The sharp light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter. Gradually, as if he had sensed something, he quickly withdrew and became dim.
Chen Zong did not know what the origin of Sword Principle resonated. His level was not that high, and what he could understand had not reached that level.
However, this time, Chen Zong felt that he had indeed gained great benefits.
The comprehension of the Origin of Sword Dao pointed directly to the comprehension of the essence of the Origin. It was as if he had cleansed his Sword Dao, removed the impurities, and reorganized it. It became more stable, solid, and smoother, and had obvious benefits for his future cultivation.
Unfortunately, while he was comprehending the origin of Sword Principle, he also had to constantly bear the pressure emitted by the origin of Sword Principle. It was as if the origin of Sword Principle was a peerless swordsman, and its sword pressure was astonishing.
