Volume 6: Wangchuan Chapter 11: Enlightenment of the Sword Monument
The secret realm of the sword monument is located on the Zhongdao Peak of the Sword Sect.
After Lu Qingshan handed the sword talisman to the old swordsman who was guarding the peak.
The gray-haired old man couldn't help but look at Lu Qingshan in surprise, "You're in the Jindan stage and you're already here to comprehend the sword tablet in the secret realm, and you even have ten days to do so?"
Lu Qingshan could sense the surprise in the old man's words. He ignored the first half of the sentence for the time being, but took the second half to heart.
Ji Chuan once said that the time spent on comprehending the Sword Monument Secret Realm was extremely precious, but Lu Qingshan had no clear idea of how precious it was.
But when he saw Xia Daoyuan casually gave him ten days, he instinctively felt that it seemed to be just as precious.
But now seeing the old man's reaction, it seemed that it was different from what he thought.
"Is ten days a lot of time for meditation?" Lu Qingshan asked politely.
When asked by Lu Qingshan, the old man was slightly startled, frowned, and suddenly asked: "Which peak are you from? Who is your master?"
"Jianlai Peak, my disciple is Xia Daoyun." Lu Qingshan replied.
"No wonder..." Hearing this answer, the old man suddenly realized and muttered, "This girl doesn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are until she runs a household..."
The old man looked up and saw Lu Qingshan still looking confused. He said unhappily, "Generally, Sword Sect disciples will be granted three days of Sword Stele Secret Realm comprehension time when they break through to the Nascent Soul stage. If they want more, it depends on luck and meeting certain conditions. But you are still in the Golden Core stage, and your generous master just waved his hand and allocated ten days of his previously accumulated Sword Stele Secret Realm comprehension time to you."
Lu Qingshan's pupils shrank slightly.
He had not thought that ten days was a long time before, but after hearing what the old man said, he immediately understood.
Since Xia Daoyun had not mentioned a word about this ten-day period of contemplation, he had thought that this was something that all Sword Sect disciples would have.
However, he didn't expect that this was actually the private property that Xia Daoyuan had accumulated before and then allocated to him.
He glanced at the old swordsman's painful expression.
Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Master is so generous to me.
The old man looked at Lu Qingshan carefully, wiped a trace on Lu Qingshan's sword talisman, and then returned it to Lu Qingshan. Then he made a gesture with his right hand and suddenly pointed at the stone wall in front of him. Immediately a loud roar was heard.
As the roar echoed, brown ripples appeared on the stone wall, like a lake.
At this time, a huge dark crack appeared on the stone wall.
"Inside is the Sword Monument Secret Realm." The old swordsman said calmly, "You only have ten days. Of course, if you can't stay in there anymore, you can leave early. Don't be stubborn. If you stay in there for a few days, only a few days will be deducted from you."
Lu Qingshan took a deep breath, clasped his fists and bowed to the old swordsman, then ran straight to the crack and disappeared into it in an instant.
Until Lu Qingshan disappeared, the old man subconsciously said to himself: "Isn't this a waste... It's simply a fantasy to want to enter the Sword Monument Secret Realm to comprehend the artistic conception before you reach the Nascent Soul stage. Let alone gaining enlightenment, I'm afraid it would be difficult to stay there for ten days. I'd better pay more attention to the situation inside. If this kid is in trouble, send him out quickly to prevent him from getting hurt."
…
"Here..." When Lu Qingshan's figure appeared, the place where he was turned out to be a desolate world.
In front of him was a stone forest composed of huge sword monuments.
The sword monuments are far apart from each other.
A narrow passage opened up, leading directly into the depths of the forest of sword monuments.
A strange feeling came over him, making Lu Qingshan's scalp tingle.
The sword intent was lingering, and Lu Qingshan felt a slight pain like a needle prick coming from the soul in his sea of consciousness.
This feeling was caused by the fact that the sword intent in this forest of sword monuments was too strong and overflowed to attack the soul.
Lu Qingshan paced and walked towards the forest of sword monuments.
"No one can break the dance, Qiu Shan locks the dragon."
The first stone tablet at the entrance was inscribed with these two lines of poetry in a graceful and graceful manner. These two lines of poetry were not written with pen and ink, but were engraved by a swordsman with his sword.
Outside the secret realm, as I watched Lu Qingshan walk to the first sword monument, I couldn't help but sneer.
“This kid seems to have a very powerful soul, so he can hold on, but…” The old man sighed, “The reason why this sword monument secret realm can only be entered by those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage is because there is a threshold for the comprehension of this sword monument.”
The sword monument is not as simple as just looking at it and gaining some insights.
You must resonate with the sword skills and sword intent contained in this sword monument before you can realize something from it.
The stronger the cultivator, the easier it is for him to have this so-called resonance with the sword monument.
…
Here, Lu Qingshan stared at the ten words, and his mind seemed to be drawn in.
The writing seemed to be a space of its own, with countless images emerging faintly.
"mysterious!"
The more Lu Qingshan read these ten words, the more unfathomable they seemed.
These ten characters actually contain ten sword styles and two sword intents.
…
Outside the secret realm, I was stunned when I saw Lu Qingshan immersed in the first sword monument.
Could it be that he just happened to encounter a sword monument that matched his sword path?
This kid is really lucky.
In the secret realm of the sword monument, there is another situation. If the sword path of a sword cultivator himself matches the sword path on the sword monument, even if his own cultivation is not high, the cultivator can resonate with this sword monument.
Commonly known as, falling in love with each other.
But this kind of sword monument is very difficult to come across.
In the eyes of this old swordsman, Lu Qingshan should be facing this situation now.
"That's good. No matter what, this kid has gained something." The old swordsman breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he kept muttering, he still hoped for the best for the Sword Sect disciples.
However, the next moment, the old swordsman’s eyes widened and his beard trembled with anger.
Because in the secret realm, Lu Qingshan relaxed his mind, felt it carefully, and finally sighed, shook his head, and walked away.
"How foolish! How foolish!" The old sword cultivator was furious. "It's so rare to come across a sword tablet that matches his purpose, but he just gave up like that. Does this kid know how difficult it will be for him to find the next sword tablet that can give him enlightenment?!"
…
"Young master, why don't you choose this stele? Isn't the sword intent contained in this stele the sword intent of killing?" Qin Yitian asked curiously.
"The sword styles contained in this stele are too bizarre, I don't like them. As for the killing sword intent, everyone has different perceptions. All I want from the sword stele is an entry. I have already reached the state of unity with the killing sword intent and have my own form. Trying to comprehend the killing sword intent of others will only disturb my mind and will not benefit me." Lu Qingshan explained.
He then walked down and headed towards the second sword monument.
This sword monument no longer has words on it, but instead has hundreds of densely packed and chaotic sword marks arranged in an irregular pattern.
Outside the secret realm, the old swordsman was still puffing his beard and glaring, but there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"I hope that after this kid hits a wall on the second sword stele, he can understand how difficult it is to comprehend and resonate with the sword stele in the secret realm. Then he can realize his mistake and quickly turn back to comprehend the first sword stele, which is the right way."
