Weapon Master

Chapter 1032 - Source Meaning (1)

Seemingly at the very moment he appeared on the broad path of the stone steps, Tang Huan felt an incomparably immense sword intent.

This sword intent was very similar to the sword intent in the Heavenly Sword Hall. It was as majestic as a towering mountain, as vast as the ocean, shocking to the heart.

Sword intent swept out from all directions, bringing with it an incomparably terrifying pressure, as if it wanted to flip people up from this flight of stairs.

In regards to this, Tang Huan had long since been on guard, and his feet seemed to have rooted themselves in place, as he remained firmly rooted in place.

In this great path, everyone could sense the existence of the sword intent, but there were differences in strength. The stronger the cultivator, the stronger the sword intent he felt, and vice versa. It was also because of this that no matter what level of cultivation those participating in the grand ceremony had, they were all at the same starting point.

Of course, the disciples of the Golden Sword Sect or Swordsmen with powerful cultivations and strength would definitely have a little bit of advantage over them. This was something that could not be avoided no matter how hard they tried. After all, one had to comprehend sword intent and communicate with sword intent after stepping onto the main road of the stone steps. If one was powerful, it would definitely be of some use.

It was just that this advantage could not affect the final result.

After a while, Tang Huan already started to move. According to Hu Chan's memories, if he were to take on the attack of the sword intent, he could at most walk to the middle of the stone steps.

As for the latter half, it would depend on how well each of them comprehended sword intent.

The deeper the comprehension, the higher one could go. If one could not comprehend the sword intent, it was basically impossible to climb the peak. The scene when Tang Huan entered the "Heaven's Spirit Realm" Luo Fu World and walked on the "Holy Mountain of Luofu" s Heaven Stairway was quite similar to what it was now.

However, the difficulty of the two were completely different.

Even if there were one or two cultivators who had yet to comprehend and communicate with the sword intent on the stone steps leading to the Hidden Sword Pavilion, who had to go against the heavens and the earth and forcefully carry the sword intent up to the peak, it would still be impossible for them to become 'Sword Sovereigns'. To become a 'Sword Sovereign', walking down this great path was a prerequisite. More importantly, one had to be able to ring the ancient bell. And to do this, one had to be able to communicate with the sword intent.

Only by being able to communicate with the sword intent and become sect head in the future would a sect suffer a calamity and be able to easily trigger that sword intent from the Heavenly Sword Hall. If one was unable to communicate with the sword intent, then no matter how powerful and outstanding one's performance on the stone steps, one would not have the qualifications to become a 'Sword Sovereign'.

But of course, there was no problem in becoming the 'Little Sword Sovereign'.

"Deng deng deng ~ ~ ~"

Tang Huan withstood the pressure brought by the sword intent and advanced forward step by step. His footsteps became heavier and heavier.

Around him, there were countless cultivators who could not withstand the onslaught of the sword intent and were pushed down by it. There were also a few cultivators like Tang Huan, who were continuing to withstand the pressure as they walked forward.

They obviously had the same idea as Tang Huan, and wanted to go up as high as possible, until they could no longer handle the pressure before they tried to comprehend the sword intent.

Unknowingly, only a hundred people were left in the first group of cultivators, including Tang Huan.

Amongst these people, cultivators in the Profound Wonderland like Tang Huan and Mei Yingluo, cultivators in the tribulation realm like Yu Qingge and Leng Dun also had a few at the Elemental Realm like him. As they continued forward, there would occasionally be people who would fall behind or fall down.

By the time he reached the middle of the road, the number of people had already decreased by nearly half.

"Didn't they say that the entire ceremony will be held in seven days? It took him seven days to finish half of the journey in such a short time? One day is more than enough. "

"You don't know about this, right? This place is the first half and the second half is getting slower and slower. It's already good enough for one or two people to reach the front of the Hidden Sword Hall in seven days."

"..."

"This time, 'Swordlord' and 'Little Lord' should be in the dozens of people in front of them."

"That's not necessarily true. A lot of people only started using their strength later on!"

"..."

At the foot of the mountain, murmurs rose and fell. However, after the grand ceremony began, many Pure Yang Sword Sect cultivators subconsciously lowered their voices.

At this moment, the people standing to the left of the main road all revealed expressions of interest.

"Sovereign, who do you think will be the first to ring the ancient bell?"

Without waiting for Xi Yi's reply, he looked towards a figure on the stairs and said, "In my opinion, it must be Tang Huan. This guy has always been able to create miracles, and his cultivation of the Essence Condensation Realm has already entered the" Heavenly Mystery Realm ". For such a thing to happen to him, I presume that it wouldn't be a problem for him to seize the position of 'Sword Sovereign'. "

Xi Yi could not help but burst into laughter. "Elder Wei, you sure are confident in that kid!"

"I'm just afraid that the more confident you are, the more disappointed you will be."

Meng Xingchun couldn't help but sneer, "In this Hidden Sword Rite, one must rely on perception and potential. Furthermore, cultivators who use the sword as their weapon find it easier to comprehend the sword intent while Tang Huan uses his spear! This old man thinks that the one with the most hope this time should be that girl Yu Qingge. "

"Yu Qingge? Why don't you say plum blossom? She also uses a sword, and her cultivation is even higher than Yu Qingge's! " Wei Xuan Pavilion sneered.

"..."

Seeing the two of them bickering again, the other Great Elders turned a deaf ear and did not participate. They were already used to this kind of scene. The grudge between the two started from when they were still Pure Yang Sword Sect's disciples. Every time they didn't say a few words to each other, they would feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Grand Elder Meng and Grand Elder Wei, don't be impatient. We'll take a look first." Xi Yi hurriedly advised.

"Humph!"

Meng Xingchun and Wei Xuan Pavilion snorted coldly, and their gazes once again landed on the stone staircase.

Xi Yi rubbed his forehead helplessly as he turned to look in the blink of an eye as well.

He did mean for Tang Huan to obtain the position of Sword Sovereign and become the next Sect Leader, but all of this depended on Tang Huan's luck. If he could not link up with the sword intent and ancient bell, even he would not be able to force Tang Huan up. Selecting the Sword Sovereign this way was a lesson the Pure Yang Sword Sect had exchanged his blood for.

At the beginning, Pure Yang Sword Sect was always selected as the Sword Sovereign, but when the sect master met with an accident, the seven great clan elders all pushed it forward.

However, the Pure Yang Sword Sect suffered a disaster and was invaded by a large number of strong enemies. At that time, the sect master was unable to trigger the sword intent of the "Heavenly Sword Hall", which almost led to the sect's destruction. In the end, although Pure Yang Sword Sect had successfully survived the crisis, her losses were extremely heavy. The sect master had died, and four of the seven great elders had died.

From then on, the selection of "Sword Sovereign" in such a manner became an iron law.

After all, if the Sect Master assigns someone to inherit the sword intent, if the successor still could not communicate with the sword intent, once disaster descends, the Pure Yang Sword Sect would be in danger of destruction. And, to trigger the sword intent of the Heavenly Sword Hall with the lives of several experts, such a price would be too heavy for the Pure Yang Sword Sect.
