"You've already grasped the concept so quickly?"
Senior Sister Ye and the others were all surprised when they sensed the sword intent emanating from Shen Zangfeng.
How long has it been, and Shen Zangfeng has actually figured something out from the carving?
The other cultivators were also shocked.
They had all spent a considerable amount of time studying the inscriptions here, so of course they could sense it.
The sword intent emanating from Shen Zangfeng at this moment, although not yet fully formed, was already extremely similar to the sword intent in the inscription.
In other words, he had already gained something from the engraving in such a short period of time.
Furthermore, the sword intent emanating from him was incredibly powerful, and his understanding of it was profound.
"Is this the true cultivation aptitude of a sword prodigy?"
Some cultivators felt both awe and envy as they sensed the sword intent emanating from Shen Zangfeng.
What was truly astonishing was the other party's terrifying cultivation talent, and so was the envy.
In just a short time, Shen Zangfeng was able to comprehend the sword intent from the inscription, something that they had struggled to grasp even after years of hard work.
How could they not be incredibly jealous?
"I knew it. Brother Shen would definitely be able to obtain the swordsmanship inheritance inscribed in the inscription."
Ba Tian laughed heartily, his face showing an expression that he had expected this all along.
The other members of the Overlord Clan also showed expressions of admiration.
They had just tried to understand the profound meaning behind the inscription, but at most they only gained a little insight.
It's incomparable to Shen Zangfeng, who almost directly condensed sword intent.
As expected of a peerless genius who, like their Daozi, has condensed a flawless innate top-grade golden core!
This further diminished everyone's interest in cultivation and enlightenment.
Everyone stared at Shen Zangfeng, wanting to see just how far he could go in understanding the art of inscription.
Can one fully comprehend it and obtain the legendary swordsmanship legacy left behind by the sixteenth Tian Shu City Lord?
To accomplish this feat that no one had been able to achieve in tens of thousands of years.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the sword intent emanating from Shen Cong gradually condensed.
Just then, Lu Qing slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes still held a sigh: "【Seven Star Sword Formation】, I never expected that this senior'Seven Star Child' would actually follow the path of sword formation."
At the same time, he cultivated seven sword intents and then used these seven sword intents to form a sword formation.
Once the Seven Star Sword Formation is unleashed, it is invincible; few experts of the same level can rival it.
At this moment, Lu Qing had already received the sword dao inheritance inscribed in the characters.
However, this swordsmanship inheritance was quite unexpected for him.
It is completely different from the usual swordsmanship tradition; it is a legendary and rare sword formation method.
The method involves dividing sword energy, weaving it into an array, and using the power of the sword array to blast away the enemy.
"The approach taken by this 【Seven Star Sword Formation】 is completely opposite to that of the 【Heaven-Shattering Sword Qi】."
Lu Qing thought of another sword technique he had once obtained that allowed him to reach the Nascent Soul Realm.
While both are sword-based lineages, the Seven Star Sword Formation follows the path of differentiating sword energy and transforming one sword into myriad forms.
The 【Heaven-Shattering Sword Qi】 is the exact opposite; it gathers all power and condenses it into a terrifying and infinitely powerful sword qi.
No matter the attack, I can shatter it with a single sword strike; I can even cut through the heavens.
He walks the path of one sword that can shatter all laws.
"The sword can transform into all laws, and the sword can break through all laws. I never thought I would be able to obtain two sword-wielding inheritances with completely opposite philosophies."
Lu Qing was overjoyed.
Although the concepts of the Seven Star Sword Formation and the Heaven-Breaking Sword Qi are opposite, they will not cause any trouble.
On the contrary, different paths of kendo tradition can provide him with more inspiration.
This will provide him with more inspiration for developing subsequent techniques of the 【Perfect Golden Elixir Method】.
Furthermore, even though their philosophies are opposite, the Seven Star Sword Formation and the Heaven-Breaking Sword Qi are not mutually exclusive.
On the contrary, he saw a possibility of fusion between the two sword traditions.
Of course, it's only a slim possibility.
Whether he can actually do it or not remains to be seen until he truly deduces and comprehends it.
However, now is not the time to do those things.
Lu Qing calmed himself down and looked ahead at Shen Zangfeng, who was being watched by everyone.
He was naturally aware of the arrival of the Overlord Clan.
Although his main consciousness received the inheritance in the illusory space, he was able to multitask, so he still retained a trace of distracting consciousness to pay attention to the movements of the outside world.
However, seeing that the arrival of the Overlord Clan did not affect him, Lu Qing ignored them and continued to comprehend the inheritance.
Feeling the increasingly refined sword intent emanating from Shen Zangfeng, Lu Qing was also somewhat amazed.
This person's swordsmanship talent is truly remarkable.
To be able to grasp the essence of swordsmanship in the inscription so deeply in such a short time.
Sure enough, geniuses emerge in great numbers in this Tianyuan Great World.
With such talent in swordsmanship, Lu Qing estimated that among all the people he had met, only his master could probably compare.
Even Xiaoyan is probably a little bit lacking.
Lu Qing was just receiving the inheritance, while Chu Xiaojing and the others were communicating through telepathic communication.
I haven't used my special abilities to investigate yet.
Therefore, he was unaware of Shen Zangfeng's true origins.
I could only sense that this must be an exceptionally talented genius.
"However, it is impossible to fully comprehend the 【Seven Star Sword Formation】 with talent alone."
After the initial amazement, Lu Qing secretly shook his head.
Although Shen Zangfeng seems to be close to condensing the Seven Star Sword Intent, he knows that his opponent is bound to fail.
The reason is simple: the 【Seven Star Sword Formation】 inheritance contained in the inscriptions on this mountain peak is actually incomplete.
When Qixingzi engraved the three characters "Tian Shu City" back then, it was merely a spontaneous expression of his feelings.
In a state of heightened excitement, he unconsciously imprinted the sword intent of the 【Seven Star Sword Formation】 that he had just comprehended into it.
It wasn't that they really wanted to leave their secret techniques in the writing.
Therefore, the inscription only contains the essence of swordsmanship, and there is no real inheritance of martial arts techniques.
If Lu Qing hadn't possessed such extraordinary abilities that he could actually materialize that time and space from tens of thousands of years ago, it would be impossible for him to do so.
He then allowed him to possess the body of "Seven Stars" and fully experience the process of it unleashing its sword intent.
He also failed to inherit the 【Seven Star Sword Formation】.
Moreover, even the 【Seven Star Sword Intent】 is not simple; it is an extremely powerful sword intent formed by the fusion and condensation of seven sword intents.
To master the Seven Star Sword Intent, one must first comprehend the seven basic sword intents, and then use a unique technique to completely integrate them.
Without a specific cultivation method, it is absolutely impossible to directly comprehend the 【Seven Star Sword Intent】.
This is also why, for tens of thousands of years, no one has been able to truly understand the swordsmanship implications contained in these inscriptions.
Otherwise, given the legacy left by their own ancestors, why would Tian Shu City be so generous as to allow cultivators from all over the world to come and comprehend it?
It is known that there is no specific method of cultivation within the inscription.
No matter how much others try to comprehend it, they can never truly grasp the essence of the Seven Star Sword Intent.
As Lu Qing's thoughts were in turmoil, he noticed Shen Zangfeng, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly frowning.
The sword intent that had almost solidified on his body suddenly dissipated, and he opened his eyes.
Then he let out a long sigh.
"Brother Shen, what's wrong?"
Na Batian was startled and quickly asked.
The others also looked puzzled.
"What a pity." Shen Zangfeng shook his head.
"What's a pity?"
“The sword intent in these inscriptions is incomplete; it is not a complete inheritance of sword intent,” Shen Zangfeng said slowly.
"So that's how it is." Ba Tian was greatly surprised. "In that case, the rumors that have been circulating for tens of thousands of years are false?"
"It can't be said to be completely fake," Shen Zangfeng said. "The sword intent in these inscriptions is indeed profound and unfathomable."
If an ordinary Golden Core cultivator can comprehend even a fraction of its essence, their sword cultivation will undoubtedly increase significantly.
From this perspective alone, it wouldn't be entirely wrong to say that it contains a profound swordsmanship tradition.
It's just a pity that a flawed Nascent Soul Realm inheritance is of little use to me.
The regret on Shen Zangfeng's face was hard to hide.
He could sense that the swordsmanship inheritance in the inscription was extraordinary and extremely useful to him.
If he could obtain the complete inheritance of the cultivation technique, his swordsmanship would surely advance by leaps and bounds.
Unfortunately, it is incomplete, containing only the essence of swordsmanship but lacking the corresponding cultivation method.
Even if he were to forcibly imitate and refine it using his own swordsmanship talent, he would only have the form but not the spirit.
"I never imagined that the truth behind this rumor that has been circulating for tens of thousands of years would be like this. It's really disappointing."
After listening to Shen Zangfeng's explanation, Ba Tian shook his head, feeling disappointed.
He had originally hoped to see Brother Shen comprehend the swordsmanship tradition that no one had been able to understand for tens of thousands of years.
But to my surprise, this is the result.
"Hehe, we should have thought of this long ago," Shen Zangfeng sighed. "Over the past tens of thousands of years, countless cultivators have come and gone from Tian Shu City."
Among them must be many peerless geniuses who are no less than us, and even among those at the Nascent Soul stage, there are probably countless.
If these inscriptions truly contained the complete legacy of a powerful being from the Fifth Tribulation, it would likely have been deciphered long ago.
“That makes sense.” Ba Tian nodded. “We’ve been misled by the rumors. Brother Shen, in that case, shall we leave now?”
"Let's go. My junior uncle sent a message yesterday urging me to meet up with him as soon as possible, so there's no need to delay any longer."
"Then I'll wait and leave."
Ba Tian raised his hand and summoned the giant flying boat.
The members of the Overlord Clan filed into the flying boat, and finally Ba Tian and Shen Zangfeng also flew in.
The next moment, the airship started up, unleashing powerful energy, and vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.
From beginning to end, Ba Tian and Shen Zangfeng treated everyone else present as if they didn't exist, not even bothering to glance at them.
Once it was confirmed that the Overlord Clan had truly left, a sudden commotion erupted on the platform.
They had heard the conversation between Ba Tian and Shen Zangfeng clearly.
Rumor has it that the sword lineage inscribed in "Tian Shu City" is actually fake.
"How could it be fake? Then what have all my years of hard work and enlightenment been for?"
One of the cultivators looked completely bewildered, unable to believe the truth he had just heard.
"I knew it! That rumor must be false. Otherwise, why would Tian Shu City be so generous as to give us such a great opportunity to comprehend it!"
Some monks also shouted indignantly.
"Who said it's fake? Didn't you hear what that Heavenly Sword Sect disciple said just now? He only said that the inheritance inside is flawed, but he didn't say that the sword intent is fake."
"How could it be fake? If that were the case, would all those powerful individuals who gained insights from carving these characters over the years also be fake?"
"That's right. At least after these years of study, my swordsmanship has truly improved, advancing from the third stage of the Golden Core realm to the fourth stage!"
...
The monks on the platform were engaged in a heated debate.
The disciples of the Qiankun Sect were also whispering among themselves.
"Senior Sister Ye, you have the highest cultivation level here, and you are skilled in swordsmanship. Is there really a deficiency in the sword intent in this inscription?"
Chu Xiaojing stared wide-eyed and asked.
"How can I be sure?" Senior Sister Ye smiled bitterly. "I just pondered it for a while, and I only felt that the sword intent in these inscriptions was profound and mysterious."
Even grasping even a fraction of its true meaning is extremely difficult, let alone discerning whether it is complete or incomplete.
"So, Shen Zangfeng's words might not be true after all?" Zi Xiao said thoughtfully. "Perhaps he has already grasped the true meaning of the inscription, but doesn't want others to understand it as well, so he deliberately said that."
“Very likely!” Chu Xiaojing immediately nodded in agreement. “Don’t let Shen Zangfeng’s seemingly upright appearance fool you; I always feel that he is very cunning!”
Just now, when that tyrant was chasing people away, he said it wasn't necessary, but he actually sat down faster than anyone else!
"That's right. Over the years, countless people have studied and deciphered these inscriptions, and no one has ever said there's anything wrong with them!"
Another disciple of the Qiankun Sect agreed.
Lu Qing, who was standing to the side, shook his head and chuckled as he heard their conversation.
Suddenly he said, "Why are you so fixated on this? Regardless of whether the sword intent in these inscriptions is complete or incomplete."
As long as it benefits your spiritual practice, that's fine.
The way of cultivation is to reduce excess and supplement deficiency.
One needs to constantly perceive the universe and all things, and hone oneself.
As long as you can gain some insight from it, what does it matter whether it's complete or incomplete?
Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Qiankun Sect were first taken aback, and then they were all deeply moved.
However, they quickly realized what was happening.
"Brother Chen, you're awake?" Chu Xiaojing asked in surprise.
"Yes, I just woke up and heard your discussion." Lu Qing nodded slightly.
"Brother Chen, have you grasped the sword intent behind the inscription?"
Chu Xiaojing's eyes were full of anticipation.
The others also looked at Lu Qing.
They had a deep understanding of Lu Qing's swordsmanship.
Even someone as powerful as Li Motian, who had fallen into demonic ways, was easily killed by him with a single sword finger strike.
His swordsmanship is unfathomably profound; even if he is not as good as Shen Zangfeng, he is probably not far behind.
Therefore, everyone is eagerly awaiting his answer.
"Of course not." Lu Qing shook his head with a smile. "Even a top disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect couldn't figure it out. What merit do I have to possess such talent?"
