Yes, confidence was very important.
Once he lost his confidence, he was basically destined to fail.
Even a peerless figure like the Dark Waters Sword Emperor had died here, which was enough to show how terrifying this sea of swords was.
However, the more terrifying it was, the more it proved that the greater the opportunity behind it was, the more people wanted to get it.
The terrifying situation did not stimulate Qin Xiao. Instead, it made him see a greater opportunity and made him have a stronger desire.
He wanted to become stronger. Even if he respected Gu Lingyue's choice, he did not want to be bullied by the Fire Deity.
Moreover, there was still Yao Xuelian waiting for him to save him.
His master, the Red Dust Guest, was still in the hands of a genius. Thinking of this bastard, Qin Xiao felt inexplicably angry.
It was just that this guy knew that his strength was far inferior to his, so he hid very well.
Everything required strength, even greater strength.
Therefore, Qin Xiao had no reason not to work harder to become stronger.
Fortuitous encounters were a springboard.
Qin Xiao and Brother Pure continued to walk in this sea of swords and found a few more corpses. Some of them had even turned into ashes and almost nothing could be seen.
There were even World Immortals.
Some of them had left behind information, so they still knew where they came from. Some of them did not leave behind any information, so they did not even know where they came from.
All of these situations were shocking enough to see.
There were even some World Immortals among the dead seniors. This was too terrifying.
After entering this place, whether it was a fourth-step Ancient Saint or a World Immortal, they could not escape death.
Brother Pure had heard of a few of them. Their reputations were not inferior to the Dark Waters Sword Emperor. They were all peerless figures who had once been famous in the Great Wide World.
None of these figures were simple. All of them were top-notch figures of their time.
However, these peerless figures had all died here. Just thinking about it was terrifying.
With such a huge impact, wave after wave of impact, it was really a blow to one's confidence.
Brother Pure felt a little negative, but fortunately, Qin Xiao was here. He reminded and encouraged him several times, so Brother Pure knew that he had to persevere.
The more terrifying one was, the more one needed to be confident in one's strength. Otherwise, it would truly be dangerous.
But knowing was one thing, wanting to do it well wasn't an easy thing.
After going around the entire sea of swords, Qin Xiao also made a calculation.
The number of dead people that could be seen for the time being was as high as twenty-seven.
There should be some people whose traces had been completely erased, and there was no way to verify them. They were people who had passed away a long time ago.
After all, the corrosive power of the mysterious energy was simply too terrifying. In just a single epoch, it was enough to kill a fourth-step Ancient Saint.
Over time, a corpse would naturally be completely turned into ashes, making it impossible to find it again.
Among the twenty-seven ancestors, there were fifteen World Gods, which was slightly more than the number of fourth-step Ancient Saints.
This kind of situation really made people endlessly shocked.
World Deity level existences could be said to be immortal and indestructible. They were existences that had transcended the limits of the world.
In this world, I am a god. Only when I transcend everything can I become a World God.
But in this place, there were actually so many World Gods that had died. It was truly a sight to behold.
If news of this were to spread out, who knew how many people would be scared to death?
"In this sea of swords, other than these swords and corpses, there is nothing else. How in the world can we get out of this damned place?"
Brother Pure smacked his lips. He had no clue at all.
This feeling was much stronger than when he was facing the ten thousand Sword Daos earlier on.
Earlier on, there were at least ten thousand Sword Daos in front of him to choose from.
But this time around, there wasn't even a general direction, let alone clues. It was completely baffling. He didn't know what to do or how to get out of this place.
The worst thing was that there were so many supreme figures that had died in this place. Naturally, this place was shrouded in the shadow of death.
No matter how good one's state of mind was, it couldn't be said that it was completely unaffected.
Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "If things were that simple, there wouldn't be so many ancestors that had died in this place."
"There are no clues about Ren Ke's clues because we haven't found anything yet."
"We just walked around roughly just now. How could we find it so easily?"
"If it's so easy, then we really have to wonder where this place is."
"The more difficult and dangerous it is, the more worthy it is for us to challenge it and take it seriously."
Brother Pure nodded and said, "That's true. Haha, I'm just saying."
"Anyway, with you here, I can relax a little."
"Okay, okay, okay, don't stare at me. I'm just saying. I can really live here leisurely, right?"
"Not to mention the opportunity, just this test alone is worth challenging, isn't it?"
"Brother Pure didn't get to where he is today by relying on his mouth, okay?"
Hearing Brother Pure's words, Qin Xiao was relieved.
In fact, Qin Xiao also believed that Brother Pure seemed to have a loose character, but it was just because of his character.
But when it came to doing things, Brother Pure would not be careless at all.
Just like in the test just now, Brother Pure also practiced the Law of Sword Cultivation to the Perfect Realm in a short time.
Brother Pure could get to where he was today by relying on himself step by step.
No matter what he did, he must first be calm and completely immersed in things. Only then could he find things that others could not find.
At present, it seemed that there were indeed no clues.
Not to mention clues, there was no direction.
Everything was unknown.
What was more frightening was that there was an extremely strong aura of death spreading.
The words left behind by the deceased ancestors were filled with despair.
An era's worth of time. At most, he could only live for one era.
It was difficult!
But no matter how difficult it was, they had to break through it.
"Everything should be related to the Law of Sword Cultivation."
"This place is full of swords. It seems that there are no clues, but in fact, swords are the first clue."
"Although this clue is a little too broad, it's still a direction after all."
Having a direction was equivalent to having a compass in the sea.
Although there was a compass, in the face of this boundless and turbulent sea, there was no way to know which direction to go to reach a safe place.
Qin Xiao soon calmed down completely and immersed himself in this sea of swords.
He would not let go of any sword and would carefully study them.
There were countless swords in this sea of swords, and each of them had a hundred forms. There were no two that were exactly the same.
There were thousands of swords, and each of them was different. This seemed to be another direction for research.
There were countless swords in countless forms, materials, and sizes.
Was there some kind of internal connection, or was it trying to express something?
He did not know. Everything was still blank, and he did not know what to express at all.
"It should not be related to strength, and it may not be related to the Law of Sword Cultivation."
"If it was related to these, there wouldn't be so many World Gods who died here."
"There were a few World Gods. Brother Pure has heard of their names before. They were extremely strong, and there was no issue with their strength. They must have had a complete grasp of the Law of Sword Cultivation as well."
"If even such existences died here, that's more than enough to explain the situation."
"But if it has nothing to do with strength or the Law of Sword Cultivation, then what does it have to do with?"
"Then how in the world can I break out of this situation and get out of this sea of swords?"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt conflicted and confused, and the harder it was for him to see the direction clearly.
The moment he thought about it, he felt as though his mind was filled with paste, and all of a sudden, it was filled with a lot of information.
This meant that he had not found the right direction at all.
However, Qin Xiao was certain that this had to be related to swords, but it did not have to be at the level of Laws. Then, what aspect of swords did it have to do with?
Being a World God who walked on the Law of Sword Cultivation would be at an extremely high level of mastery of the Law of Sword Cultivation, and could completely grasp the Law of Sword Cultivation.
This was an existence who could truly make laws follow their words.
Logically speaking, such an existence should be able to grasp everything about swords.
But, why did he still die here?
Could it be that the test was not just about the sword?
That should be the case. The sword was the main factor, but there might be other factors involved as well.
It was the sword, but it was not just the sword.
"That's right, innate potential!"
Qin Xiao immediately thought of another possibility. Generally speaking, many places with opportunities would test one's innate potential, and not one's strength.
Having strength did not mean that one had innate potential.
Having innate potential did not mean that one had strength either.
Qin Xiao felt that this possibility was rather high.
If what was tested was one's innate potential, and it was related to swords, then would it be one's innate potential in the Sword Dao?
It couldn't be that he had to cultivate the Law of Sword Cultivation to the point of complete mastery, right?
Complete mastery of the Law was at the level of a World God, and that was also the most crucial step in breaking through to the World God state.
Once he could do that, he would be able to break through to the World God state.
An epoch ago, it did not sound impossible.
But, was that really the case?
After Qin Xiao seriously analyzed this idea, he rejected it. It shouldn't be the case.
Or rather, it was not as simple as that. That was not enough to determine anything.
If that was the case, then in theory, someone like the Dark Waters Sword Emperor should also have extremely strong innate potential. They should also have a chance to break through to the World God state in an era, right?
However, it was hard to say. After all, it was too difficult to break through to the World God state.
An era's time was only 1.08 billion years, which was considered a very short period of time.
Breaking through to the World God state in such a short period of time?
It was still unbelievable when he thought about it.
After all, Qin Xiao had just broken through to the fourth step of the Ancient Saint Stage. He had spent more than 100 million years cultivating until now.
To him, an era was indeed quite long. However, to a World Deity, it was simply too short a period of time.
In the long history of the Vast Thousand Worlds, there might not be anyone who could reach the World God state in an era, right?
Even though Qin Xiao was very confident, the problem was that the cultivation environment here was extremely poor.
There was no Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth or Chaotic Energy.
In this place, it was difficult to cultivate. At the very least, it should be impossible to break through to the World God state.
Therefore, this was a big problem in front of Qin Xiao.
Thinking of this, he ruled out this possibility.
What other possibilities were there?
