On the stone step road, Tang Huan suddenly stopped in his tracks.
At this time, the pressure from the sword intent was getting stronger and stronger, causing Tang Huan to be unable to breathe. His legs felt as if there were huge rocks tied to them, they were extremely heavy.
There were still cultivators in front of him who continued to move forward, and a few cultivators on both sides had surpassed him.
In regards to this, Tang Huan ignored it. If he continued to force himself to move forward, he should be able to walk another ten or twenty levels. However, there was no need for that.
With a slight movement of his mind instructs (in a second), Tang Huan carefully sensed the sword intent around him.
Wave after wave of sword intent, on the lower half of the stairs, it was only like a slightly turbulent tide, but here, it had already turned into raging waves.
To comprehend sword intent, one had to capture the trace of the most fundamental meaning hidden within the sword intent.
If he could make himself move in accordance with the original meaning, reaching the peak would not be a problem. Generally speaking, when he reached the peak, the position of Young Sword King would be in his hands. However, if he wanted to ring the ancient bell in front of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, it was not enough to just follow the original meaning, he had to be able to communicate with it.
Only in this way could he ring the ancient bell.
Tang Huan calmed his heart and concentrated. He could feel that there was a trace of intent that was continuously overflowing from his body, but the moment it touched the boundless sword intent, it was completely melted.
Back then, when he had first entered the Heavenly Sword Hall, what had fused with the sword intent was the intent that originated from the Conqueror Spear. At that time, Tang Huan had often used his spear, so his body was naturally tainted with the Conqueror Spear's spear intent. But now, the intent belonged to the "Absolute Yang Scarlet Scale Sword", and compared to before, it was even stronger.
On this stone path, almost everyone was carrying a weapon.
The reason for this was because with the help of a weapon, it was easier for one's own intent to resonate with the surrounding sword intent. If there was a resonance, then it would be much easier to capture the origin of the sword intent.
Right now, Tang Huan did not have a weapon in his hands, but the Dantian had a Divine Armament.
"Absolute Yang Scarlet Scale Sword..." Tang Huan's mind moved slightly, and the middle stage Divine Armament had already left the Dantian's "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" and appeared in his palm.
"Buzz!"
In the next moment, Spiritual Essence poured into the sword. The sword trembled slightly, and an incomparably tyrannical sword intent filled the air.
However, the moment the sword intent of the "Absolute Yang Scarlet Scale Sword" touched the surrounding sword intent, it was immediately absorbed. Tang Huan was not anxious at all, his true essence continued to enter the sword, and the sword intent emitted by the "Absolute Yang Scarlet Scale Sword" went from strong to weak, and then gradually became stronger.
Tang Huan tried it over and over again.
Inadvertently, the group of cultivators in the middle of the stairs had all stopped in their tracks. All of them were constantly activating the weapons in their hands, and the sounds of trembling could be heard one after another.
Time quickly passed, and night quietly descended. On the stairs, a faint white luster blossomed, causing the entire path to be as bright as day.
However, from time to time, there would be people who would not be able to withstand the pressure and would return to the foot of the mountain to start again. Even the cultivators who had walked the furthest were no exception. At the foot of the mountain, many cultivators had already left, preparing to come back tomorrow to watch.
Xi Yi, Wei Xuan Pavilion, and the others all stayed behind, their eyes still burning.
"Buzz!"
The abnormally intense trembling sound was like a thunderclap, shaking the void and causing one's ears to buzz.
Hearing this voice, the cultivators at the foot of the mountain were shocked, and their brows revealed expressions of surprise. As for Xi Yi and the others, as well as the cultivators who had participated in and watched the ceremony, their spirits were greatly shaken at this moment. The appearance of such a huge commotion meant that someone was already able to resonate with the sword intent.
Everyone followed his gaze and looked over. Amongst the group of people in the middle of the stone steps, ripples that could be seen with the naked eye had already appeared in the air around a man.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, one could only see the side of his face. However, this was enough for Xi Yi and the others to determine that person's identity.
"That's He Ming, right? The first person to be able to resonate with the sword intent was actually him. If I remember correctly, he should be almost fifty years old now, right?
Xi Yi nodded and smiled.
To be able to reach the peak of the Void Tribulation Realm at the age of fifty was already quite good.
To be able to step into the Nascent Profound Realm at the age of sixty could be said to be an astonishing talent with unparalleled talent. Cultivators like Tang Huan and Mei Yingluo who had already stepped into the Nascent Profound Realm before the age of thirty were, after all, extremely rare. Even in the history of the Pure Yang Sword Sect, there were not many of them.
Although the current Pure Yang Sword Sect was not at its strongest, it was definitely the time when the disciples of the younger generation were the most outstanding.
Tang Huan, Mei Yingluo, Yu Qingge and the other disciples of the Golden Sword Sect aside, amongst those swordsmen, there were quite a few who had already stepped into the Nascent Profound Realm before the age of fifty.
As for those who were over fifty years old, there were even more.
"Although He Ming's cultivation is not as good as Tang Huan's, his attainments in the way of the sword is definitely the deepest amongst all the cultivators participating in this ceremony. It is normal for him to be able to resonate with the sword intent so quickly."
"This He Ming has also accumulated a lot of experience. Three years ago, he was only at the origin realm. After entering the 'Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm', his cultivation increased explosively to the peak of the Void Tribulation Realm. In this grand ceremony, he can be considered to be a new force to be reckoned with."
"Right now, everything is hard to judge. The first to resonate with the sword intent might not be the first to find the sword intent's origin. It's hard to say whether or not he can be the first to ring the ancient bell."
"..."
Just as Xi Yi, Wei Xuan Pavilion and the others were chatting and laughing, another intense trembling sound rang out, causing everyone to look over once again.
"Tang Huan!" Wei Xuan Pavilion clapped his hands and laughed, "I knew this brat wouldn't disappoint!"
"The second to resonate with the sword intent also means something. To be able to resonate with the sword intent in one day, and to be unable to capture the essence of the sword intent in the next six days, this brat Tang Huan …"
Meng Xingchun could not help but let out a cold snort. He was not angry that Tang Huan did not join the Fire Clan, after all, he was one of the seven great elders, and the height he stood at was different from Pan Kui. The reason he said that now was not because he had any objections to Tang Huan, but because he was simply unhappy with Wei Xuan Pavilion.
However, before he could finish his words, his voice suddenly stopped.
Wei Xuan Pavilion's eyes also lit up. He no longer cared about bickering with Meng Xingshu as he stared fixedly at the figure. Not only him, even Sect Master Yi and the other Great Elders had the same expression on their faces. Even Meng Xingshu's eyes were filled with astonishment.
On the stone steps, Tang Huan's footsteps actually moved!
After He Ming resonated with the sword intent, he still stood there without moving. It was obvious that he was still trying to capture the sword intent's origin, but the moment Tang Huan resonated with the sword intent, he had already started to move his feet. But strangely, Tang Huan did not walk up, but instead walked down the stairs.
What was going on?
Seeing this scene, not only were the cultivators at the foot of the mountain inexplicably shocked, even Sect Master Yi, Wei Xuan Pavilion, Meng Xingshu and the others looked at each other in dismay. Could it be that he couldn't withstand the pressure and wanted to go down and take a breather? If that was the case, then it would be too much of a pity!
