In the real world, six days had passed.
How long had it been in the Meditation World? Nearly three years.
It seemed to be an exaggeration. However, there were many things that proved that the flow of time in the brain was different from the real world. This did not originate from the movie Inception, but from reality.
For example, when you are sleeping, you have a very, very long dream. However, in reality, your dream might only last a few minutes.
To use an inappropriate analogy, the human brain was like a computer.
When you were awake, there were many factors that interfered with it, so it operated very slowly.
When all external factors were blocked, and all resources were gathered to carry out a specific task. In that case, its computing speed would increase exponentially.
However, Meditation was not omnipotent. It could only be used to study a specific, pure, or even repetitive task.
For example, understanding the internal rules of a certain sword technique.
If it was used to practice martial arts, it would be useless, because the Dragon Power would not increase in the Meditation World.
In the Meditation World, Søren went through the most painful and boring time.
This sword technique looked amazing, but in reality, it was too painful to practice.
The nine moves and eighty-one styles had to be learned. Moreover, the ninety-nine transformations had to be understood.
And there could be no mistakes in this understanding. If there were any mistakes, your next sword technique would not be able to proceed, because the balance of your body would be completely destroyed, and even your tendons and veins would be injured.
Therefore, this sword technique was not about learning a certain movement. Instead, it was about sensing the balance of the field in the body, the flow of energy in the tendons and veins, as well as achieving perfect coordination and balance with the sword intent.
In short, it was about making the energy in the tendons and veins and achieving perfect coordination.
Therefore, this sword technique became the best way for swordsmen to understand the Way of the Sword.
…
In the Meditation World, Søren used eight months to completely understand the first move.
That's right, it took him eight months. Only then did the tendons and veins in the body and the veins of the sword reach perfect coordination.
Fortunately, this was in the Meditation World, and he had already gotten rid of all selfish thoughts. He was already numb to the irritability and boredom.
If it was like this in reality, he would have long since found it unbearable and almost broke down.
But at the same time, because of the numbness of emotion and perception, the learning acuity in the meditation world was much worse than in reality.
What could be completed in half a year in the real world might not even be completed in a year in the Meditation World.
The difficulty of the second move increased once again. However, because he had comprehended the first move, he only needed half a year to comprehend the second move.
The third and fourth moves also took only half a year.
However, after more than half a year, the fifth move still hadn't been completed.
Why? Because Søren's own Mental Strength was exhausted, Søren's own Dragon Power was exhausted, and the Dragon Power stored in Eros was almost exhausted.
In order to support the final cultivation of enlightenment, Eros even had to devour Søren's own energy to supply the energy needed for its brain to meditate.
By the time he finished comprehending the fifth move, his entire body was completely empty, and he was even weaker than ever before.
All the energy in his body was used up, and all his energy was used up.
The first thing he wanted to do when he opened his eyes was to immediately lie down and sleep.
However, he absolutely could not sleep, because once he slept, he would not wake up for a few days.
"Sir Sword Venerable, how many days have I been meditating?" Søren struggled to hold on and asked.
"Six days." Sword Venerable Bi Xiao said, "There are still three days until the competition you mentioned. How many moves of the Nine Disaster Swords have you completed? "
"The fifth move." Søren said.
Sword Venerable Bi Xiao said, "How long have you been in the Meditation World?"
"Less than three years." Søren said.
Sword Venerable Bi Xiao frowned and said, "Then your speed is slower than I thought. Is it because your Mental Strength is not as strong as I thought, or are you still carrying distracting thoughts in the depths of your meditation? "
Perhaps it was a combination of these two reasons. Because of the instant meditation, Bi Xiao had greatly overestimated Søren's Mental Strength.
His actual Mental Strength was around 8.1, even though it was one in a million. However, in Sword Venerable Bi Xiao's eyes, it was not the best, and could not even be compared to Gui Qinshao.
It sounded strange. Gui Qinshao was a tsundere, and she was not very scheming, so how could her Mental Strength be high?
In reality, Søren and Zhi Ning were both scheming, but it was difficult for their Mental Strength to reach the top.
People with high Mental Strength usually had a relatively pure personality.
Sword Venerable Bi Xiao said that Søren was still carrying distracting thoughts in the depths of his meditation, and it was true.
This was because the Nine Disaster Swords ninety-nine changes was to use the sword tip to write one word, 'Mausoleum'!
Therefore, when he was cultivating, this thought even invaded the deepest part of his meditation.
Therefore, Søren's cultivation progress in the Meditation World was not as perfect as he had imagined.
Gui Qinshao had been practicing the Nine Disaster Swords for a full ten years, and now she had completed the eighth move and the fifth move.
However, she did not practice every moment of the past ten years. Adding up the time she spent cultivating the Nine Disaster Swords, it would not be more than two years.
Søren had been cultivating in the Meditation World for almost three years, and he had been comprehending and cultivating at all times.
In the Meditation World, the body's sensitivity and perception had decreased, so the efficiency of cultivation was not as good as in reality.
However, he had only comprehended five moves in the past three years, and he had to admit that his cultivation progress was greatly disrupted.
Two-thirds of the ten days had passed, and there was still one more day of traveling.
Therefore, there were only two days left. If he wanted to win against Gui Qinshao, he had to at least complete the eighth move of the Nine Disaster Swords.
The difficulty of the remaining three moves would increase exponentially, but he only had two days, and Søren's mental strength and Dragon Power were completely exhausted.
It seemed that it was impossible for him to succeed.
…
"Eros, is there any way to deal with this situation?" Søren asked.
Eros said, "There is only one way, and that is to improve your Mental Strength. I've said it before, the higher your Mental Strength, the faster you will comprehend the Way of the Sword. If your Mental Strength can reach around 8.5, then the speed of comprehending the Way of the Sword will increase by at least two times. "
Søren asked, "Then how much mental strength do I need to improve my Mental Strength from 8.1 to 8.5?"
Eros said, "The mental strength of 2.8 Shadow Spider Queens."
Søren was completely stunned when he heard that.
Previously, he only needed to absorb half of the Shadow Spider Queen's mental strength to increase his Mental Strength from 7.5 to 8.1.
Now, to increase it from 8.1 to 8.5, he needed nearly three Shadow Spider Queens' mental strength.
The further he went, the more mental strength he needed to improve his Mental Strength would increase by several times.
In that case, it was almost impossible. As a spiritual-type monster, the Shadow Spider Queen had cultivated for hundreds of years to accumulate so much mental strength.
Now, he needed nearly three Shadow Spider Queens, and it was impossible to find one even if he searched the world.
Of course, there were places like this. In the Dragon Temple's Mental Strength Hall, Art Hall, and Sword Dao Hall, there were a bunch of great cultivators with super strong mental strength.
As long as he killed them and devoured their Dragon Power and mental strength, it would be enough for Søren to increase his Mental Strength to 8.5, or even more.
However, to go to the Dragon Temple and devour those great cultivators? It would be faster to seek death.
Before Søren could even get close to the Dragon Temple, he was immediately killed by a random warrior standing guard outside.
However, devouring an astronomical amount of mental strength was Søren's only way to win.
Instantly, Søren sighed in his heart. The ninety-nine changes of the Nine Disaster Swords were for the sake of using the tip of the sword to write the word "Ling". It was perhaps one of the world's greatest mysteries. But at least this time, it hurt Søren quite a bit.
This distracting thought directly invaded the deepest part of his meditation, greatly reducing the efficiency of his understanding of the Sword Dao.
"Sir Sword Venerable, is there a place like this that has a lot of mental strength other than the Dragon Temple?" Søren asked, "Monsters or other methods would work too."
Sword Venerable Bi Xiao looked at Søren in shock. He hesitated for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes."
Søren was shocked. When he asked this question, he did not have much hope. He did not expect such a place to really exist.
"Where?" Søren asked.
"The Heavenly Tomb!" Sword Venerable said.
"The Heavenly Tomb? What's that? "Søren asked in surprise.
Sword Venerable said, "Do you know that once a person dies, all of their Dragon Power and mental strength will disappear completely and return to the world?"
Søren nodded.
Sword Venerable said, "But there is a group of people who are unwilling to die like this. They hope to obtain a certain degree of immortality. So before they die, they bury themselves in the Heavenly Tomb to obtain a different kind of immortality. "
Søren said, "Is the Heavenly Tomb similar to a completely sealed energy formation? Once people enter, they will immediately die and turn into ashes. But their mental strength and soul will not be harmed. They will forever be imprisoned in this energy prison to obtain a different kind of immortality. "
"That's right." Sword Venerable said, "Moreover, only the strongest mental strength master in the Dragon Temple can enter the Heavenly Tomb to obtain a different kind of immortality. Because these mental strengths and souls bear a very mysterious mission. Then, even if the entire world is destroyed, their souls and minds will still exist, waiting for the Dragon Temple to excavate and explore thousands of years later. "
Immediately, Søren felt an incomparably mysterious aura.
Without a doubt, the Heavenly Tomb contained the world's greatest secret.
So, the souls buried in the Heavenly Tomb might not be for their own immortality, but to pass on the Dragon Temple's top secret.
Because this kind of secret could not be recorded in any text.
"Sword Venerable, where is the Heavenly Tomb?" Søren asked.
Sword Venerable said, "Other than the few legacy high priests of the Dragon Temple, no one knows where the Heavenly Tomb is, and whose soul is buried in it."
That's right, the Heavenly Tomb was the Dragon Temple's biggest secret, how could it be known to the world?
"Is there anything strange about the Heavenly Tomb?" Søren asked.
"None at all." Sword Venerable said, "Maybe there is, but no one knows."
In this way, all of Sauron's paths had been cut off.
Currently, he did not have any mental strength left, he could not even carry out the most basic of meditation.
Then, his comprehension of the Nine Swords of Disaster would be completely cut off.
In three days, he would have to compete with Gui Qinshao. With his current cultivation of the Nine Swords of Disaster, not only would he lose, he would really have his legs broken by her.
At this moment, Eros suddenly said, "Master, this Sword Venerable is lying. He has been telling the truth his whole life. When he lied, there was a strong fluctuation of energy, and I caught it. "
Instantly, Søren was stunned. Sword Venerable was lying?
Which sentence was a lie? Did he say he did not know where the Heavenly Tomb was? If that was a lie, then it proved that he knew where the Heavenly Tomb was.
Thinking further, why did he choose this place for seclusion?
Was there anything special about this place? Alright, it was special. It was on top of a lonely mountain on an island in the sea, it was very secluded and uninhabited.
But it was not completely isolated from the world, right? Why did he choose to seclusion here?
He was almost seventy years old, why did he choose to accept a disciple in Linhai Town?
Was Gui Qinshao really that talented? Why did he accept her as his disciple?
After thinking about it carefully, everything seemed to be abnormal. There was a feeling of fear when thinking about it.
Taking a deep breath, Søren suddenly said, "Sir Sword Venerable, is it because there is a Heavenly Tomb nearby, so you chose to seclude yourself here?"
Søren was risking his life by saying this.
If he was right, it was very likely that Sword Venerable would kill him to silence him. So, he was taking a gamble again.
As expected, after hearing what Søren said, Sword Venerable's eyes suddenly narrowed.
After hesitating for a while, he picked up the wooden sword in his hand and slashed it at Søren.
Without a second's hesitation, he slashed it down.
As for Søren, it was as if his entire body was completely frozen, he could not move at all.
Then, the wooden sword lightly slashed his neck.
There was no pain. His vision turned black and he fell to the ground. Endless darkness and coldness attacked him.
This was Sword Venerable, the legendary number one swordsman. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not kill.
But when he really needed to kill, he would not hesitate at all, nor would he say any nonsense.
He directly attacked to kill, and the one who was killed would not feel any pain.
…
After killing Søren, Sword Venerable's expression was calm, but there was a tinge of pain.
It had been many years since he killed someone. Now that he was forced to kill again, and it was such a young, talented, and compassionate young man. It was really painful, but he had to kill him.
The young man in front of him was extremely intelligent, but he was not rational enough.
He had long guessed that once he revealed his secret, he might be killed, but he could not help but say it.
After killing Søren, Sword Venerable carried him out of the cave and was about to throw him down the bottomless cliff.
Below the thousand-zhang cliff was the boundless sea.
