Chapter 213: Chapter 213: Primordial Sword Scripture Great Perfection! (4th Update)
Lu Changsheng was focused on comprehending the Sword Dao and didn’t hear the conversation between Sect Leader Uncle Situ Kong and the old handyman.
His comprehension of the Sword Dao accumulated rapidly, and his mastery in the field made leaps and bounds.
For any Swordsmanship below the Heaven Rank, Lu Changsheng needed only to glance over it once to become thoroughly familiar with it.
He could achieve great accomplishment in Heaven Rank Sword Skills without the need for several days.
Only Immortal Rank Swordsmanship still posed a difficulty for Lu Changsheng.
Mount Shu’s Supreme Elders, who were observing the myriad sword scripts alongside Lu Changsheng, felt the sword qi he was unwittingly emitting slice through everything, and they moved out of the way subconsciously, so as not to disturb his cultivation.
“This young man truly is a Sword Dao prodigy, having just sat down for a short while, he has already gained many insights from the myriad sword scripts.”
The Peak Master of Chao Yuan Peak, who was the Sect Leader’s senior brother and also a Sword Dao genius, felt inferior in comparison to Lu Changsheng and his face flushed red.
Each time these Mount Shu Supreme Elders contemplated the myriad sword scripts, it would take them ten days to half a month to immerse themselves in the mood, and after a year and a half of contemplation, they might gain a bit of Sword Dao Comprehension.
However, Lu Changsheng had just arrived at Ten Thousand Swords Peak, had just begun to meditate, and immediately entered into the essence of the sword, with his Sword Dao Comprehension constantly soaring.
This was not just a Sword Dao genius; he was virtually a cultivation demon.
One month later, Lu Changsheng finally came out of the sword intent imparted by Grandmaster Taixu, attempting to execute the ninth sword stance of the Primordial Sword Scripture.
Lu Changsheng had thought that cultivating the ninth layer of the Primordial Sword Scripture would be quite difficult, but the Sword Dao Comprehension he had penetrated from the myriad sword scripts over the past month, combined with part of Fairy Qingxia’s sword intent returned through the Dual Cultivation System, made the ninth layer incredibly smooth and natural.
“Just one month, only one month, and he has mastered the ninth layer of the Primordial Sword Scripture,” said Sect Leader Uncle Situ Kong, who had been paying close attention to Lu Changsheng’s cultivation, and was greatly shocked.
Having lived for thousands of years and seen much of the world, including many strong practitioners of the Unity Realm, he had never seen anyone master the ninth layer of an Immortal Rank lower-grade sword skill within a month while in the Void Refinement Realm.
Even those with the most suitable Spirit Sword Physique might not be able to reach this extent.
“I no longer have anything I can teach him,” lamented Grandmaster Taiyuan.
Lu Changsheng had demonstrated Sect Leader-level combat prowess at the Reincarnation Hall headquarters, and with his cultivation of the lower-grade Immortal rank Primordial Sword Scripture, Grandmaster Taiyuan’s Taiji Sword Skills, which were also a lower-grade Immortal sword skill, would not help him much even if imparted.
Even the Taiji Sword wielded personally by Grandmaster Taiyuan might not be more powerful than Lu Changsheng’s Silent Annihilation Sword.
“The ninth layer of the Primordial Sword Scripture, done,” Lu Changsheng said to himself, clearly surprised.
After accumulating a vast understanding of the Sword Dao, the ninth layer of the Primordial Sword Scripture came to him naturally and without difficulty.
Immediately afterward, Lu Changsheng proceeded to the next level, starting the cultivation of the tenth layer of the Primordial Sword Scripture.
The difficulty of the tenth layer surpassed the sum of the previous nine, and Lu Changsheng encountered an obstacle when he began to comprehend parts of the tenth layer.
“It’s not enough, still lacking some,” Lu Changsheng stopped cultivating and continued to contemplate the myriad sword scripts, accumulating Sword Dao Comprehension.
Xia Ningxue was still comprehending Fairy Qingxia’s sword intent in the Qingxia Ancient Cave, and the Dual Cultivation System kept returning Sword Dao Comprehension.
Three months later, Lu Changsheng’s understanding of the Sword Dao became even more profound.
Lu Changsheng began to practice the final layer of the Primordial Sword Scripture.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Above Ten Thousand Swords Peak, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and countless Sword Qi crisscrossed.
An invisible barrier surrounded the myriad sword walls to prevent them from being torn apart by the vast Sword Qi.
Ten Thousand Swords Peak seemed to have formed a Sword Domain, with Sword Qi flying chaotically.
Each of the Mount Shu Supreme Elders activated their respective cultivation techniques to resist the Sword Qi.
Grandmaster Taiyuan took a deep breath, his Daoist robe billowed, and with the ninth layer of strength from the Taiqing Wuji Technique, he did his utmost to maintain the palaces of Ten Thousand Swords Peak.
Otherwise, Ten Thousand Swords Peak would be torn apart by the Sword Qi generated from the final layer of the Primordial Sword Scripture.
Situ Kong also took action, working together with Grandmaster Taiyuan to maintain the barrier of Ten Thousand Swords Peak, “It’s truly unbelievable. After comprehending the ninth layer of the Primordial Sword Scripture, it has only been three months, and he’s actually grasped the final layer. He is just at the seventh layer of the Void Refinement Realm, yet his Heaven Rank swordsmanship has already reached Great Accomplishment. Could it be that he is a Sword Dao Genius that only appears once every hundred thousand years?”
“My Taiji Sword wasn’t fully understood until after I stepped into the Unity Realm, yet Longevity has completely comprehended the lower-grade Heaven Rank swordsmanship while only at the seventh layer of the Void Refinement Realm.”
Grandmaster Taiyuan gave a wry smile.
Under normal circumstances, one could only fully understand and attain enlightenment in a lower-grade Heaven Rank technique after stepping into the Unity Realm.
Yet Lu Changsheng was only at the seventh layer of the Void Refinement Realm.
The Peak Masters of Bimoon Peak, Chao Yuan Peak, Jinse Peak, and other Mount Shu Supreme Elders were also stunned by the sword force triggered by Lu Changsheng cultivating to the last layer of the Primordial Sword Scripture.
Even though Lu Changsheng did not deliberately use True Qi, the sword force he generated was remarkably astonishing.
If Grandmaster Taiyuan and the Sect Leader Uncle had not acted to maintain Ten Thousand Swords Peak, the entire mountain might have been destroyed by the sword force of the last layer of the Primordial Sword Scripture.
“How astounding!”
Lu Changsheng himself was shocked by the sword force of the last layer of the Primordial Sword Scripture, as the Blazing Extermination Sword seemed out of control.
Lu Changsheng, with his cultivation at the seventh layer of the Void Refinement Realm, forcefully cultivated the final layer of the Primordial Sword Scripture to Great Perfection. The massive energy consumption was so immense that even he could hardly control the sword force.
It was only because Ten Thousand Swords Peak had an invisible barrier; otherwise, this special treasure, comparable in value to a superior Immortal Artifact, would have been destroyed by Lu Changsheng’s sword force. The people of Mount Shu probably would have been so distraught they would have lamented their wrongdoing to the Ancestral Master.
With the final move of the Primordial Sword Scripture accomplished, the heavens and earth were devoid of light, and primordial chaos seemed to emerge.
A dazzling sword light rose from Ten Thousand Swords Peak, stirring up the wind and clouds to form a sea of clouds vortex.
The True Qi within Lu Changsheng’s body was rapidly devoured by the Blazing Extermination Sword.
Even with his True Qi amount far surpassing that of a practitioner at the seventh layer of the Void Refinement Realm, he still could not sustain the consumption of the tenth layer of the Primordial Sword Scripture.
Usually, the Primordial Sword Scripture required one to enter the Unity Realm before one could fully comprehend it and have sufficient True Qi to support it.
However, Lu Changsheng’s Innate Taoist Body, coupled with the Sword Dao Comprehension returned through the Dual Cultivation System, allowed him to grasp the final layer of the Primordial Sword Scripture much earlier.
Lu Changsheng swallowed a Red Emperor Dragon Strength Pill to slightly replenish his True Qi in hopes of achieving the final move.
Wielding the Blazing Extermination Sword, Lu Changsheng didn’t even use his True Qi but still caused an echoing with the Dao.
The twenty-six sword scars on the myriad sword walls shone brightly, as if stirred by the final move of the Primordial Sword Scripture, dancing along with it.
Many of the Mount Shu Supreme Elders were stunned.
They had never seen the myriad sword walls react in such a way.
The astounding sword force lasted for a moment; when Lu Changsheng swung the final sword and the Immortal Sword was sheathed, then the brilliant sword light that pierced the heavens and the earth finally dissipated.
Some Supreme Elders even gained a bit of understanding in the Sword Dao while watching Lu Changsheng use the tenth layer of the Primordial Sword Scripture.
The Peak Master of Chao Yuan Peak said incredulously, “For this child to make me comprehend something is simply monstrous…”
