Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1486: Star-cutting Sword Dao
"Heh." Lin Ye faintly smiled, not taking the two people’s cold snorts to heart.
"With your current Sword Dao accomplishments, you probably have little interest in these Sword Steles."
"This time, you came specially to the Sword Domain to participate in the grand event. Isn’t it to find me?"
"As you guessed." Elder Yun Yuan sneered.
"Heh, no rush." Lin Ye waved his hand.
"Once the grand event in the Sword Domain is over, I will give you two a chance to challenge."
Having said that, Lin Ye looked at Xiao Yi, "Brother Xiao, I have matters to attend to and need to leave for a while."
"I will talk with you again later."
"Alright." Xiao Yi nodded.
Swoosh... Lin Ye’s figure suddenly disappeared on the spot, his whereabouts unknown.
In place, Xiao Yi looked at Elder Yun Yuan and his companion in puzzlement, "Aren’t you two going to comprehend these Sword Steles?"
Originally, Xiao Yi thought these two were also here to participate in the grand event.
But now it seems, the greater reason should be to fight Lin Ye, to avenge the shame of their past defeat in the sword duel.
"Of course, we are going to comprehend them." The two nodded.
"The owners of these Sword Steles, in their lifetime, had realms far higher than the both of us."
"Although the effect of our comprehension isn’t great, it’s better than doing nothing."
"Not much effect?" Xiao Yi looked surprised.
"If the owners of these Sword Steles had such high realms when alive, how could the effect not be significant?"
The two shook their heads, "Every martial artist has a unique path in the Sword Dao."
"And the paths we are on have already reached their limits; we are just one step away from breaking through."
"Thus, these Sword Steles provide us a reference."
"There is an effect, just not too large."
"But for you, with such outstanding talent, the effects will be significant."
"I see." Xiao Yi nodded.
"What about that Sword Emperor Stele?" Xiao Yi suddenly looked at the towering Sword Emperor Stele in the center of the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest.
"Huh." Xiao Yi suddenly gasped, "Why is no one going to comprehend the Sword Emperor Stele?"
Various sword cultivators were moving through the Stele Forest.
But none stopped in front of the Sword Emperor Stele.
The Sword Emperor Stele is the strongest Sword Stele within the Stele Forest, containing the Sword Dao knowledge of the Sword Emperor.
How could no one covet it?
Moreover, Xiao Yi glanced at the Lin Family members not far away, who had initially activated the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest with a Sword Qi Handprint, yet were still in place, not going to find sword steles to comprehend.
"Aren’t the Lin Family Members going to comprehend them?" Xiao Yi asked.
Elder Yun Yuan’s face suddenly turned stern, "You brat, you ask too many questions."
"You must not have read through the entire Sword Token of the Sword Domain, did you?"
"The Sword Token contains detailed information about the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest; if you had read it all, you wouldn’t have these questions."
"Uh." Xiao Yi awkwardly rubbed his nose.
"Forget it, it’s not a big deal." Hui Deacon smiled.
"That Sword Emperor Stele, if the two of us were to comprehend it, the effects would be significant, perhaps even leading to an immediate breakthrough."
"The Sword Dao level of the Sword Dao Emperor is beyond our imagination."
"However, non-native Swordmen of the Sword Domain cannot comprehend the Sword Emperor Stele and cannot gain even a bit of Martial Arts Insight from it."
"Why?" Xiao Yi frowned, "Is it because of Sword Power?"
Hui Deacon nodded.
Xiao Yi suddenly closed his eyes, releasing his perception.
Boom... within his perception, the world’s scenery suddenly changed.
This appearance was exactly like when he first cultivated Sword Power a few days ago.
In the heavens and earth, streams of Sword Power surged from every direction.
The direction they were heading was precisely towards the Sword Emperor Stele.
At the same time, from the Sword Emperor Stele, streams of Sword Power radiated in all directions.
Back then, he perceived that within the Sword Domain, Sword Power from all directions was surging towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest.
It seems, the actual direction they were heading was this Sword Emperor Stele.
Or rather, the reason the Sword Domain has this special power called ’Sword Power’ is because of the existence of the Sword Emperor Stele.
"Truly peculiar." Xiao Yi couldn’t help but show a look of astonishment.
"A single Sword Stele, yet it allows the entire vast Sword Domain to possess the power of Sword Power."
"This Sword Emperor of the past, before he fell, must have been an extraordinary figure reaching the heavens."
To cultivate Sword Power, one must connect with the Sword Power meaning within the Sword Domain.
Sword Power exists because of the Sword Emperor Stele.
Naturally, martial artists from outside who cannot cultivate Sword Power cannot connect with the Sword Emperor Stele.
And naturally, they cannot comprehend the Sword Emperor Stele or gain any Martial Arts Insight from it.
"What about the other locals within the Sword Domain?" Xiao Yi asked.
Participants in the Sword Domain’s grand event aren’t just foreign sword cultivators; there are also local Swordmen from the Sword Domain.
Yet now, even these local Swordmen aren’t stopping in front of the Sword Emperor Stele.
Elder Yun Yuan replied, "The Sword Emperor Stele is a treasure of the Sword Domain."
"The reason the Sword Domain possesses the special power of Sword Power is also because of the Sword Emperor Stele."
"Naturally, such a treasure can’t be comprehended by everyone."
"Each time the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest is opened, there are only two spots for comprehending the Sword Emperor Stele."
"One belongs to the Lin Family; the other is chosen between the Qi Sect and the Artifact Sect."
"Is it the two sects’ grand competition?" Xiao Yi looked enlightened. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
No wonder the two sects attach such importance to the competition.
Elder Yun Yuan continued, "The Lin Family, to put it bluntly, is the descendant of the Sword Emperor, and also possesses the Sword Emperor Bloodline."
"Therefore, the Lin Family is the guardian of the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest and the Sword Emperor Stele."
"The Lin Family itself has one spot; this is unquestionable."
"And the other members of the Lin Family, such as the elders; they have already comprehended the Sword Emperor Stele before the grand event started."
"Naturally, they don’t need to comprehend it now."
As guardians, the Lin Family can naturally open it at will, and their members can freely enter to comprehend.
With the grand event starting now, the Lin Family members don’t need to go and comprehend it deliberately.
"It’s a pity." Hui Deacon sneered, "That Lin Xiao still has some skill."
"But those elders, no matter how much they comprehend, only gained some opportunity, their strength is limited."
"Just a bunch of clowns."
"Heh." Xiao Yi chuckled.
Elder Yun Yuan and Hui Deacon were obviously proud Sword Cultivators to the extreme.
"Alright." Elder Yun Yuan said, "You go find a Sword Stele to comprehend."
"Although you can’t comprehend the Sword Emperor Stele now, it doesn’t mean the true opportunity has nothing to do with you."
"Everything depends on your own ability and luck."
"Yes." Xiao Yi nodded, then swiftly departed.
Xiao Yi’s figure shuttled through the Stele Forest, searching for a suitable Sword Stele.
With sharp eyes, he quickly scanned the Sword Steles.
There were some Martial Arts Texts recorded on the Sword Steles.
But regarding the identity and information of the Sword Stele owners, there wasn’t the slightest record.
"Star-cutting Sword Dao?" Xiao Yi’s figure suddenly stopped in front of a Sword Stele, his face lighting up with joy.
...
Third update.
