If it was just one person, he could take it slow.
Even if it took a few decades or even a few hundred years, it didn't matter. In any case, it wouldn't be a problem for a Nascent Profound Cultivator to live for a thousand years, and a Void Transformation Stage cultivator's lifespan was even longer. If he continued to persevere like this, as long as he didn't die of old age, there would be a day when he would be able to comprehend ten thousand sword intents and take this "Illusory Sword Heavenly Palace" into his pocket.
With two hundred people competing, it was entirely possible that after a long period of time, someone else would still beat them to it.
Moreover, with the mountains and rivers around, the others had no hope at all.
"I wonder how much of the sword intent contained within these ten thousand mountains has Senior comprehended?" Another young man from Ling Xiao Sword Sect asked.
"The test will only begin after the 'Myriad Sword Heavenly Diagram' appears."
"Although this old man has been in the 'Illusory Sword Heavenly Palace' for dozens of years, I have never comprehended a single strand of sword intent. In addition, with this old man's current identity, I can be considered to be the incarnation of the spirit of the cave. I have inherited the will of the spirit of the cave, so naturally, I will not participate in the test of the 'Myriad Sword Heavenly Diagram'."
"Senior, are you serious?" The young man was pleasantly surprised.
"This old man has never lied!" Shanhe said slowly, "The test of this' Myriad Sword Heavenly Diagram 'is only aimed at those who are fated!"
"…"
Hearing this, everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and joy appeared on their faces.
The majority of the cultivators in the Ling Xiao Sword Sect used swords as their weapons, and they also cultivated sword arts. In terms of comprehending sword intent, they had a unique advantage. Although Tang Huan was also from the Sword Sect, how could the remote "Pure Yang Sword Sect" of the Yan State be compared to the "Ling Xiao Sword Sect" of the central region?
However, when they thought about how long they would have to stay here, they felt incomparably conflicted.
"Senior, would it really take a few decades or even a few hundred years to comprehend ten thousand sword intents?" The young man couldn't help but ask. "Isn't this a little too long?" A few decades was still fine, but if he were to go out after a few hundred years, the outside world would probably be completely different.
"Is it worth it to spend dozens or even hundreds of years to obtain an ancient cavern?"
There was a faint smile on Shanhe's face.
"Of course!"
Everyone looked at each other and exchanged glances. No one said these three words, but in their hearts, they all gave an affirmative answer.
This was an incomparably large cave dwelling, and it was a world of its own.
Perhaps, it even contained the inheritance of that ancient powerhouse. A cultivator who could possess such an Immortal's Cave must have an exceedingly high cultivation base. How could his inheritance be compared to that of an ordinary cultivator? If one could have the last laugh, not to mention a few hundred years, even if it took a thousand years, it would be completely worth it.
However, among so many people, there was only one person who succeeded. The others all ended up with nothing, wasting their efforts.
"From the looks of it, does anyone want to withdraw?"
Shan He's gaze swept across the many Ling Xiao Sword Sect cultivators, and said with a smile, "There's no harm in withdrawing, this old man can send all of you on your way!"
Many cultivators revealed expressions of joy when they heard this, especially those who felt that they were lacking in confidence. After all, not everyone was interested in spending so much time fighting for such an incomparably slim chance. Since they could withdraw, it was naturally for the best.
However, there were also many cultivators who felt that the situation was not good. Just as they were about to speak up, voices rang out.
"I want to quit!"
"I'm also withdrawing!"
"Me too, I don't want to stay here for hundreds of years."
"..."
In the blink of an eye, six mysterious cultivators stood out.
However, the moment their voices fell, banging sounds rang out one after another. Six figures instantly turned into six balls of blood mist, just like Xiang Wenlong before, they were completely dead.
Seeing this scene, many of the Ling Xiao Sword Sect cultivators were dumbstruck.
Tang Huan and Shan Shan were also stunned.
They had already guessed that those fellows who stood out would not have a good ending. However, they did not expect that Shanhe would act so fiercely and kill all the cultivators who wanted to withdraw.
"They are already on their way. Who else wants to follow them?" However, when this smile landed in the eyes of the many Ling Xiao Sword Sect cultivators, it caused them to be both angry and terrified. Those cultivators who originally wanted to retreat were even more frightened to the point that they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
"You … You killed them?"
A Void Transformation Stage old man finally could not hold it in any longer and roared angrily.
If the Myriad Sword Heavenly Diagram's test did not allow them to withdraw halfway, they should have just said so. Why did they have to lure them out and kill them all?
"That's right. Once this test begins, no one is allowed to withdraw midway. Otherwise, they will die!"
The smile on Shanhe's face faded, and his eyes turned ice-cold, "Are you blaming this old man for not explaining this in advance? There isn't even a 'road' here. What path do you think this old man wants to send them on? Naturally, it's a 'dead end'. Idiots who can't even understand such simple and shallow words deserve to die! "
"You, you …"
The Void Transformation Stage old man was so angry that his entire body was trembling.
Shanhe did not pay any more attention to him, and his gaze landed on Tang Huan again: "Tang Huan, this old man will give you the source sword intent of this' Myriad Sword Heavenly Diagram 'later, it will be of great help to you in this test."
As he spoke, his gaze turned to Shan Shan, "Shan Shan, your current cultivation is still shallow, in this test, you can just follow by Tang Huan's side, there is no need to comprehend the sword intent, this old man will give you a ball of 'Lunar Genuine Qi', if you can completely refine it, your cultivation will not be a problem to break through to the Nascent Profound Realm."
Shan Shan was currently a Yin Tribulation cultivator, but that ball of "Lunar Genuine Qi" was actually able to allow her to directly enter the profound cave from the Yin Tribulation, it could be said to be incomparably miraculous. However, Shanhe's ball of "Lunar Genuine Qi" would probably not be able to be refined within a few years. In just a few years, such a breakthrough was not too outrageous.
"Unfair!" "Unfair!"
However, just as Shanhe finished speaking, a sturdy man straightened his neck and shouted, "Senior Shanhe, even if you kill this junior, this junior will still say that your actions are too unfair. Why is it that Tang Huan is able to obtain a strand of sword intent, but we don't, just because he is your great grandson? If you can obtain care from this relationship, just give him this' Illusory Sword Heavenly Palace ', what kind of test is that? "
"This' Myriad Sword Heavenly Diagram 'was brought into the' Illusory Sword Heavenly Palace 'by Tang Huan. If not for Tang Huan's' Myriad Sword Heavenly Diagram ', this test would not have appeared at all. Giving a strand of sword intent to the person who obtained the' Myriad Sword Heavenly Diagram 'is the will of the spirit of the cave. Saying that, Shanhe sneered," Although this old man is the incarnation of the spirit of the cave, I cannot go against the will of the spirit of the cave. Otherwise, this old man would really want to give this cave to Tang Huan! "
