The Sword Intent Soars Into the Sky

These elders, although appearing to agree and make concessions, actually don't want Su Zhan to violate the rules at all!

As Qin Jincheng prepared to reject this request, Chen Changfeng smiled and spoke up:

"Elder Senior, you told me that Su Zhan has extraordinary talent that cannot be seen with common sense. Why are you hesitating now?"

"It's not that I don't believe in Su Zhan, but you have never been to the Sword Tomb, so you certainly don't know the difficulties that exist..."

Qin Jincheng shook his head.

Chen Changfeng said, "Elder Senior, if I haven't witnessed the amazing power of Su Zhan's two divine bodies merging, maybe I would agree with you. But now, I have complete faith in Su Zhan!

Furthermore, this is the best solution to this problem!

Do we really have to cause a major conflict with the elders and create chaos within our Yuntian Sword Sect?"

After hearing this, Qin Jincheng pondered for a moment and finally nodded reluctantly.

Breaking the rules and going too far had already become an extremely difficult task.

Being able to fight for Su Zhan like this was already the limit.

The rest depended on Su Zhan himself!

"Hehe! Then it's settled. Tomorrow, the elders of the Yuntian Sword Sect will gather to witness this matter!"

Elder Miao rubbed his beard, feeling very happy.

The other elders also let go of their worries.

They had successfully preserved the rules established by their ancestors.

If they truly allowed Su Zhan to enter and exit the Sword Tomb without any obstacles, they would feel uncomfortable when paying respects to their ancestors in the future.

After all, these were rules established by their ancestors and had been upheld for thousands of years!

As for whether Su Zhan would truly gain recognition from the ten ancestral sword spirits?

The elders exchanged smiles.

They all understood each other's meaning: it was impossible.

...

At the Baiyun Peak, after Su Zhan finished bathing, he was resting in the courtyard when his identity token suddenly showed signs of activity.

Su Zhan took out his identity token and infused it with his true qi, causing a layer of light screen to appear.

Several small characters were displayed on the light screen.

It was a message personally conveyed by the Sect Master.

After reading it, he was somewhat surprised.

"Sword Tomb? The Yuntian Sword Sect has a Sword Tomb? Why has no one ever mentioned it?

With my current swordsmanship level, I'm afraid I wouldn't lose to the previous Sect Master of the Yuntian Sword Sect.

But swordsmanship is about depicting similarities and understanding the various meanings and techniques of the sword to deepen one's understanding of swordsmanship.

And there are twenty-seven Sect Masters, twenty-seven different sword intents. If I can absorb all of them and incorporate them into my own, the benefits would surely be immense!"

Su Zhan's eyes sparkled.

Currently, his Starfire Flowing Light Sword Technique had reached the Minor Achievement, but to reach the Major Achievement, it still required a lot of time. However, if he could absorb the sword intents and insights from the twenty-seven Sect Masters, perhaps he could shorten this time!

With this in mind, Su Zhan began recalling the characteristics of sword techniques used by the previous Sect Masters.

When he first received the identity token, it briefly mentioned the basic information of the Yuntian Sword Sect, although most of it was just skimmed through and not detailed.

But for now, there was nothing too important to pay attention to, so it wouldn't hurt to take a look around.

...

The next day.

Su Zhan arrived at the Sword Tomb.

The Sword Tomb was actually a mountain.

It was covered by a large formation, and only the sect masters were allowed to ascend.

Sect Master Qin Jincheng was already waiting for him at the foot of the mountain.

The other elders around the peak also paid attention to Su Zhan, their eyes filled with anticipation.

"Su Zhan, according to the agreement between me and the elders, I cannot accompany you up the mountain," Qin Jincheng said earnestly as he saw Su Zhan approach.

"Also, when you are in the Sword Tomb, you can practice sword techniques and demonstrate your sword intent to resonate with the ancestral sword spirits. But be careful not to damage the ancestral swords!"

"Alright," Su Zhan nodded and walked past Qin Jincheng, heading towards the mountain.

"Su Zhan is approaching the halfway point of the mountain, and he will soon meet the first ancestral sword spirit!" One of the elders exclaimed.

"That ancestor was the former sect master of the Sword Sect Yuntian and also the master of the current sect master and Senior Brother Chen."

"That ancestor practiced the Fire Attribute Sword Technique, which is somewhat related to Su Zhan's Starfire Flowing Sword Technique and Sun God Divine Body. He should recognize Su Zhan."

Just as the elders finished speaking, the fire attribute sword intent appeared in the middle of the mountain, and the former sect master's natal weapon emitted a red light.

The elders had anticipated this scene, so they simply nodded without being too surprised.

At that moment, Su Zhan was in the middle point, sensing the sword intent and sword comprehension of the ancestral Sword Sect Yuntian. For others, it was just a bright light, but for Su Zhan standing nearby, he felt like entering a world of fire. There was a vague figure practicing sword techniques in that world, and strands of sword comprehension flowed into Su Zhan's mind.

After staying for two minutes, Su Zhan shifted his gaze from the figure, and the surroundings returned to normal. He continued moving forward.

"Su Zhan, did he understand the sword intent and ancestral comprehension so quickly?" One of the elders asked in surprise.

"How is that possible! He should have sensed it and chosen not to continue the comprehension, but climbed the mountain to see the sword intent and other ancestral comprehension!" Another elder chimed in.

"That's right. This time, the goal is for Su Zhan to gain recognition from the ancestors, not to fully comprehend their sword intent and comprehension!"

"Although Su Zhan has exceptional talent, he is still at the Barrier Master Realm. It may take him several days to comprehend the sword intent and ancestral comprehension that is at least at the Peak Core Yuan Realm!"

The elders discussed among themselves after witnessing this scene.

Soon, Su Zhan encountered the second sword.

This sword also emitted a red light, with a fire attribute sword intent, but it was not a sea of fire. Instead, it took the form of a fire dragon!

"Recognition of the second ancestral sword spirit!" The elders' eyes gleamed. For them, as long as Su Zhan gained recognition from no more than ten ancestral sword spirits and did not violate the rules set by the ancestors, the more ancestral recognition Su Zhan received, the happier they would be.

After contemplating the sword intent and ancestral comprehension of the second sword for two minutes, Su Zhan continued forward.

The third sword.

Its sword intent consisted of misty clouds, subtle and hard to comprehend.

By understanding the sword intent and comprehension contained in this sword, Su Zhan reached the peak of the mountain tomb!

In the Sword Tomb, only three swords were buried in the middle of the mountain, while the rest were at the mountain's peak.

This was the focal point of everyone's attention. They all stared intently, afraid of missing any details.

As Su Zhan's gaze swept over the remaining swords, he took light steps and arrived at the middle position without activating the Sword Dao Halo or displaying the Starfire Flowing Light Sword Technique.

He simply stood there and already caused the swords to resonate!

Out of the twenty-four long swords with preliminary spiritual intelligence, six of them emitted extraordinary sword intent!

This phenomenon manifested as six different sword intents in the sky, with the radiance of six swords intensifying as if they were competing, each desiring for Su Zhan to be the first to receive their comprehension of the path of the swordmanship!

This scene surprised everyone.

Elder Miao thumped his chest and said, "Great! Wonderful! Nine ancestors, he did not exceed the limit. Nine ancestors, hahaha! This number is perfect!"

As Elder Miao spoke, a joyful smile appeared on his face. "Perfect, we will not be blamed by the ancestors, and it proves that Su Zhan's sword talent is extremely high. Moreover, he has gained comprehension from nine ancestors, which should be enough for him to contemplate!"

"Senior Brother Chen, this time, you have taken Su Zhan too seriously—" Elder Miao's words were interrupted as he saw the scene at the mountain's peak, his face showing an expression of disbelief.

At the peak of the Sword Tomb.

Above Su Zhan, starlight emerged, intertwining like a river of stars!

At that moment, when this river of stars appeared.

At the peak of the Sword Tomb.

The twenty-four ancestral sword spirits of the Sword Sect Yuntian emitted light!

The sword intent soared into the sky, blooming like a hundred flowers, competing with each other in brilliance!
