The spring breeze was warm and the spring sun was bright.
On Tianhong Mountain, the grass was long and the birds were flying. It was thriving and full of vitality. It was so beautiful that it made people forget to leave.
The mountain breeze blew, and the jade-like bamboo swayed left and right. As it swayed, the bamboo leaves fluttered like waves, creating a continuous rustling sound. It was as if the sound of the tide was coming from afar, and it was pleasing to the ear.
On the bamboo tower of Black Bamboo Residence, Chen Zong sat cross-legged and practiced.
The vigorous, sharp, and tyrannical True Power flowed through Chen Zong's body endlessly. His True Meridians, which were thicker and tougher than those of ordinary martial artists, revolved around Chen Zong's limbs and bones. There were no blind spots. This was something that most martial artists would not be able to do, because they were not able to reach the Great Circle of the Training Stage when they were still in the Training Stage.
The benefits of reaching the Perfection of the Training Force Realm were obvious. The True Power was purer, the recovery speed was faster, and the circulation speed was faster.
One great cycle after another, the crisscrossing True Power continued to revolve. Waves of whistling sounds came out from within his body, like the roar of the sea, like the roar of the wind. Soon after, it gradually became more intense, becoming like the roar of thunder.
After a slight pause, countless True Power gathered in his body and exploded.
Chen Zong's entire body trembled slightly, the True Power seemed to have become even more tyrannical, a vast and overbearing Qi pervaded out from Chen Zong's body, bringing along a strong wind that blew in all directions.
He opened his eyes. The sharp light was like a sword cutting through the air and penetrating everything.
Breakthrough!
Early stage of the sixth level of the True Martial Realm!
The 25th level of the Art of Traversing!
Chen Zong could feel a kind of power growing in his body.
He did not move, but his body suddenly leaped up like a golden Peng. In the blink of an eye, he left the bamboo tower and appeared a thousand meters away. He pulled out his sword.
The sword cut through the air and the sword light condensed. It was the perfect combination of speed and power. There was nothing it could not break.
The first move of the Sword of Traversing!
The second move.
The second move of the Sword of Traversing!
One move after another.
One move after another.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Zong had wielded his sword 24 times and performed the 24th move of the Horizontal Sword Style.
After a slight pause, after the breakthrough, the True Power that was even more majestic and powerful converged, the power penetrated the sword body, and then pierced through the air.
The extremely resplendent sword light was as dazzling and eye-catching as the rays of the scorching sun, causing people to not dare to look directly at it. The sound of air being torn apart was extremely sharp like thunder, resounding through the bamboo forest.
A silver sword light tore through the sky for several hundred meters, piercing through countless black bamboos, leaving behind many thumb-sized sword holes that were as smooth as mirrors.
Although the ink bamboo was made of bamboo, its body was harder than steel. Ordinary swords and sabers would not be able to leave a mark on it.
After three breaths, the silver sword light that spanned hundreds of meters disappeared. However, there seemed to be something left in the air.
The twenty-fifth style of the Sword of Traversing!
The standard corresponded to the seventh level of the True Martial Realm, but there was an even more obvious difference between it and the twenty-fourth move.
After performing this move, Chen Zong stared at the air and could feel the changes. The power was stronger and faster, and the combination was more compact and condensed. In addition, there was an additional feature — retention.
The power contained in it could stay in the air or things hit for a longer period of time, causing more severe damage.
"Now I should be qualified to comprehend and practice the secret swords." Chen Zong thought to himself. He leaped and quickly left the Ink Bamboo Residence.
The two secret swords of the Horizontal Sword Sect were very important. They were not stored in the Scripture Pavilion at all. As for where they were stored, only the founding elders, the Sect Master, and the four inner elders knew.
Chen Zong went to find the founding elder, Yuan Lingzi.
"Your cultivation is not yet at the seventh level of the True Martial Realm, so it's not suitable for you to practice the secret swords." Yuan Lingzi said. He did not know that Chen Zong had already practiced the Horizontal Sword Style to the twenty-fifth level, because Chen Zong did not fully display it and held back.
This was a kind of instinctive self-protection.
The tallest tree in the forest would be blown away by the wind. When one was not strong enough, it was necessary to keep and hide appropriately. It was a kind of instinct.
"Founding Elder, I don't want to practice the secret swords. I want to comprehend them first. After all, I plan to go out and experience for a longer period of time. Maybe I will have a fortuitous encounter and break through. When the time comes, I can directly practice them," Chen Zong said.
"Alright." Yuan Lingzi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Although the minimum requirement to practice the two secret swords was the seventh level of the True Martial Realm, there was no limit to comprehension. Under normal circumstances, if one's cultivation was not enough, they could not practice them even if they wanted to.
Under Yuan Lingzi's lead, Chen Zong also saw two stone steles. They were not tall, only about two meters or so. They were completely black and looked like giant swords.
"Legend has it that there was a strange beast in ancient times called the Dragon Sparrow. It usually looks sloppy and ordinary, but when it opens its tail, it can show unparalleled beauty and mesmerize people." Yuan Lingzi pointed to the black sword stele on the left and said leisurely, "The founder of the Reigning Sword Sect once saw it from afar. He had an idea and comprehended this secret sword, naming it Dragon Sparrow Dance."
"It is said that the founder only saw it from afar and was not clear enough. Therefore, the Dragon Sparrow Dance he created was not enough to reach the true Spirit Level," Yuan Lingzi added.
As Chen Zong listened, he carefully observed the black sword stele on the left. There were countless green and red patterns on it that looked like a fan.
"This secret sword is called Point Star. It was created by the founder when he observed the starry sky at night." Yuan Lingzi pointed to the black sword stele on the right.
Chen Zong's gaze turned to the right. He saw that there was a sword mark on the black sword stele. It was like a meteor had passed by. The end of the sword mark seemed more obvious and sharp.
"The Dragon Sparrow Dance Secret Sword and Point Star Secret Sword have different focuses. The Dragon Sparrow Dance Secret Sword focuses on the magnificence of the technique. Extreme technique brings a very dazzling and enchanting scene. It contains hidden killing intent and takes people's lives without them noticing." Yuan Lingzi's tone was leisurely. "Point Star Secret Sword does not have any magnificence. It directly compresses and condenses all power into one point to break and shatter everything. It is best at direct attack and destruction."
"Take your time to comprehend it." With that, Yuan Lingzi turned and left the secret room.
Chen Zong's mustard seed bag had enough food and water to support his comprehension for quite some time.
After Yuan Lingzi left, Chen Zong immediately sat cross-legged in front of the black sword stele on the left. He took a deep breath and removed all distracting thoughts. He became focused. His eyes first closed and then opened. The light fell on the sword stele.
The patterns on the black sword stele were condensed. Gradually, his eyes seemed to blur. The green and red patterns seemed to come alive and twisted, quickly forming a blurry figure.
Chen Zong could vaguely make out that the blurry figure seemed to be a kind of bird.
However, it was too blurry and he could not see its appearance clearly. He could only see a very basic outline.
Suddenly, Chen Zong seemed to hear a sharp cry. That sound seemed to carry with it the roar of a Flood Dragon. It was very strange, and it attacked his eardrums. Following that, Chen Zong's eyes lit up. He saw the blurry silhouette of a bird with its tail spread open like a huge fan.
The alternating green and red light spread out. As the fan opened, it was as if an extremely dazzling picture scroll had been unfurled.
Dazzling!
Dazzling!
It made people intoxicated and difficult to wake up.
Even though Chen Zong's mind was strong enough to surpass that of an ordinary Lv 7 True Martial Realm martial artist, he was intoxicated in an instant. He was trapped and shuttled back and forth between the red and green light as if there was no end.
Suddenly, a speck of cold light appeared, and it silently carried shocking killing intent as it stabbed over, causing Chen Zong's entire body to shudder as he abruptly sobered up.
His face was pale, his forehead was dripping with sweat, and his back was soaked. All of this happened without him noticing.
"If I was fighting with an enemy, I would have been killed." Chen Zong could not help but think to himself and smile bitterly.
What a terrible secret sword.
However, Chen Zong also gained a lot. At least he understood some clues. With these clues, it would be easier for him to get started.
After adjusting his breath and recovering his energy, Qi and spirit to the peak, Chen Zong began to understand again.
Gradually, as he understood deeply, the green and red light intertwined in his mind, as if they were woven into a whole. Then, it opened like a folding fan.
Time passed. Chen Zong did not pay attention to the time. He did not stop until he understood the secret sword on the black sword stele on the left to the extreme. However, he did not leave. He continued to stay in the secret room to reflect on what he had understood.
When he was almost done, he recovered his energy and spirit and sat in front of the black sword stele on the right.
This was the stone stele that recorded another secret sword, Star Touch.
There was only one sword mark on it, a very special sword mark.
Chen Zong stared at it. When he was extremely focused, the scene in front of him suddenly changed and he saw a night sky.
With the experience of comprehending the Dance of the Dragon and Sparrow, Chen Zong was not surprised at all. Instead, he looked forward to it.
The night sky looked very dark, as if it could swallow everything.
Suddenly, a speck of light appeared. It became extremely dazzling, as if it was tearing apart the dark sky. It was like a cold star that had been condensed to the extreme. Chen Zong could feel the power contained in that cold star. It was extremely terrifying and could destroy everything in its path.
The cold star was coming toward him. A terrible pressure suddenly hit him. It was like the pressure of a falling star. The space around Chen Zong was completely frozen. He could not move, dodge, or resist. He could only watch the cold star coming for him.
Darkness, oblivion.
After a long time, Chen Zong suddenly woke up and gasped for breath.
At that moment, he thought he was dead.
Comprehending a secret sword was really scary.
No wonder it required one to be at least Lv 7 of the True Martial Realm. In addition to cultivation, one's spirit and willpower were also important.
However, after enduring the most difficult stage and comprehending a little bit of Star Touch, he could go deeper and try to master it in the shortest time possible.
When Chen Zong comprehended Star Touch to the extreme, he rested for a while and left the secret room.
"Elder Yuan, how long have I been comprehending?" Chen Zong was not used to the sunlight outside. He squinted his eyes.
"Twenty days." Yuan Lingzi's answer surprised Chen Zong.
Twenty days!
