Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1494: Sword Emperor Stele Space
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi felt the trembling space around him, frowning slightly.
He glanced at Lin Xiao in the distance, showing a look of surprise.
"As expected of a supreme expert mastering 9,998 Sword Dao, capable of making such a vast space tremble."
High in the sky, a streak of white light suddenly pressed down.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi frowned again.
Beside him, Elder Yun Yuan and another had calm expressions.
On the other side, seeing this overwhelming scene, Ding Qiuyue showed a look of surprise.
When the overwhelming white light completely pressed down.
Ding Qiuyue turned pale with fright, jumped up, and grabbed Xiao Yi’s sleeve.
Xiao Yi didn’t mind.
A mere Sixth Layer of Saint King Realm; saying they’re not afraid under the overwhelming power of a supreme expert would be a lie.
The light flashed by.
Xiao Yi’s vision also turned white.
When his sight returned.
Xiao Yi looked at the scene before him, suddenly gasping in shock.
In front of him was no longer the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest.
It was a desolate land.
All around, boundless and empty, extremely barren.
"Where is this?" Xiao Yi muttered, frowning.
Beside him, Elder Yun Yuan and the other had already disappeared.
Yet, Ding Qiuyue, who had been hiding behind him, clinging to his clothes, was still there.
"Qiuyue girl, do you know where this is?" Xiao Yi pulled Ding Qiuyue from behind him to the front.
"Here?" Ding Qiuyue calmed down and looked around.
A trace of fear still on her small face, she showed confusion, then surprise.
After a long while, she looked enlightened.
"This should be inside the Sword Emperor Stele space."
"Inside the Sword Emperor Stele?" Xiao Yi was taken aback.
"Yes." Ding Qiuyue nodded, "The Sword Emperor Stele is a sacred artifact of our Sword Domain, containing unfathomable power."
"I’ve heard from my master, inside the Sword Emperor Stele, a space exists on its own."
"And this grand event, the opening of the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest, is just the beginning and a qualification trial."
"Only Sword Cultivators who successfully comprehend a Sword Stele are qualified to enter the Sword Emperor Stele space."
"Is that so?" Xiao Yi was stunned.
He knew the Sword Emperor Stele held unfathomable power.
Such a sacred artifact, having a space of its own inside, was normal.
"Big brother, don’t you look at the Sword Tokens given by the Sword Domain?" Ding Qiuyue looked at Xiao Yi with curiosity.
"I heard from clan leader grandpa, the Sword Token contains detailed explanations." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Uhh." Xiao Yi awkwardly scratched his nose.
Previously, these grand events seemed mundane to him, so he paid them little attention.
Just attending them was enough.
Unexpectedly, the grand event in the Sword Domain was so unique; he greatly underestimated it.
"I should look at the Sword Token." Xiao Yi sighed with a bitter smile.
A flash of light in his hand brought out the Sword Token he’d long thrown into the corner of the Universe Ring.
After a detailed look, Xiao Yi was enlightened.
"I see, this Sword Emperor Stele space has three layers." Xiao Yi’s expression cleared up.
The Sword Emperor Stele space has three layers.
And here is the real commencement of the grand event.
At the Ten Thousand Sword Stele Forest, after comprehendents choose a Sword Stele to comprehend, the comprehension begins.
If successful in comprehension, they will enter the Sword Emperor Stele space afterwards.
If unsuccessful, they stop there and cannot enter.
This means the several hundred successful comprehendents before now have all entered the Sword Emperor Stele space.
Xiao Yi suddenly gazed into the distance.
There were two adjacent Sword Steles.
Xiao Yi and Ding Qiuyue walked up to the Sword Steles.
The Sword Steles were the two they had comprehended outside.
One was the Star-cutting Sword Stele, which Xiao Yi had comprehended.
The other was Ding Qiuyue’s Mist Sword Stele.
"The real Sword Steles are here." Xiao Yi muttered.
Indeed, the real Sword Steles are not outside but within the Sword Emperor Stele space.
It was obvious that outside, beside the Sword Stele, there was nothing.
But here, beside the Sword Stele, there was a sharp sword.
This was the sword owned by the Sword Stele master during their life.
In reality, tens of thousands of Sword Steles exist within the first layer of this space.
Yet, compared to the closely arrayed Sword Steles outside, the real Sword Steles here are not neatly arranged.
According to the Sword Token, the space within the Sword Emperor Stele is absolutely not smaller than the entire Sword Domain.
Naturally, tens of thousands of Sword Steles here are just a drop in the ocean, scattered throughout the space.
Xiao Yi sensed the Sword Steles.
Xiao Yi was suddenly enlightened.
"The Sword Steles here are far stronger than those outside." Xiao Yi murmured to himself.
"Of course they are." Ding Qiuyue replied.
"I heard from my master that the Sword Steles outside only contain part of the power."
"They contain about 80% of the Sword Dao Knowledge the Sword Stele master had during their life."
"The remaining 20%, the true essence of the Sword Dao belonging to the Sword Stele master, lies in the Sword Steles within the Sword Emperor Stele space."
"I see." Xiao Yi nodded.
No wonder during the previous fight with that elder, he used the fusion of Star-cutting Sword Dao and Star Illusion Fire, yet was broken by Xiao Yi’s one-day comprehension.
It turned out that the elder had not revealed the entirety of his Sword Dao.
And no wonder the elder said Xiao Yi’s comprehension journey was not yet over.
It seems the final comprehension is here.
Another point.
Every Sword Cultivator, upon entering the Sword Emperor Stele space, finds themselves scattered throughout the space.
The reason is the location of the Sword Stele they comprehended is different.
The Sword Emperor Stele space automatically ’sends’ each person to their comprehended Sword Stele.
Therefore, it makes sense that only after passing the previous Sword Stele comprehension can one enter this space.
Otherwise, if the 80% of Sword Dao Knowledge outside can’t be comprehended, there’s no mention of the 20% Sword Dao Knowledge within.
"The Sword Token only states that entering the Sword Emperor Stele space, one continues with comprehension." Xiao Yi said solemnly.
"But after that, it doesn’t say."
"I know this part." Ding Qiuyue answered.
"You know again?" Xiao Yi smiled bitterly.
"Yes." Ding Qiuyue nodded, "My master told me not to be afraid upon entering."
"Afraid?" Xiao Yi was puzzled.
Ding Qiuyue replied, "The next comprehension is understanding the life of these predecessors."
"Their entire life?" Xiao Yi was puzzled again.
"Correct." Ding Qiuyue ’stood with hands behind her back’, "If one doesn’t understand their life, how can they comprehend their life’s Sword Dao?"
After saying this, Ding Qiuyue lowered her hands, "That’s exactly what my master told me."
"In this space, we will journey on as we comprehend."
"If successful, we will reach the end of the first layer and enter the second layer."
"But it’s likely one may get lost in it."
"Lost?" Xiao Yi’s eyes narrowed.
"Big brother does not need to fear." Ding Qiuyue replied, "The Sword Emperor Stele space will only have our presence for half a month."
"Even if we’re lost, after half a month, this space will forcibly eject us."
Xiao Yi shrugged, "It seems you are more afraid than I am."
Ding Qiuyue puffed her cheeks, not speaking.
