Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 572: 9th-Level Sword Heart
What is happening inside Earth Sword Mountain has been verified by countless people over the billions of years.
Where the Sorrow Sword Heart is, where the Golden Sword Heart resides, everyone knows these.
Thus, if it were any other Sword Cultivator, they would choose different directions before entering the mountain.
After all, each person excels in different Sword Hearts.
Only Sect Leader Jiang understands nothing and casually steps into one of the gates.
And here, it is the region of the Wood Sword Heart.
Long swords, broken swords, heavy swords, slender swords, giant swords.... They cover almost everything!
And these swords all share one characteristic: a strong wood aura.
"This is the trial of the Wood Sword Heart."
The remnants of Cang Ling followed him here.
The Wood Sword Heart itself certainly isn’t as simple as wooden swords, it’s just that Earth Sword Mountain has made the Sword Heart more concrete.
In fact, these wooden swords are formed by the rules of heaven and earth.
"Then what should I do?"
Brother Cheng just asked this question and was met with the attack of these wooden swords.
Thus, he could only swing his sword to meet them.
Then, he felt the strain.
Earth Sword Mountain is wondrous; the attack you face is aligned with your realm at the moment you enter.
Brother Cheng is at the Late-stage Quasi-Emperor realm, so now he’s facing attacks of the Late-stage Quasi-Emperor level.
On the other hand, he can only use the Sword Rule now.
Yet his Sword Rule Brand is merely at the Early-stage Quasi-Emperor level.
Most of the Quasi-Emperor’s fighting prowess comes from the Rule Brand.
A Late-stage Quasi-Emperor realm with an Early-stage Rule Brand in combat translates to a downgraded version of an ordinary Mid-stage Quasi-Emperor.
He cannot withstand attacks at the Late-stage Quasi-Emperor level at all.
This disparity in power in a duel should not appear within Earth Sword Mountain, the dominator of heaven and earth.
If it were any other Quasi-Emperor, they would never encounter such a situation.
The other Quasi-Emperors’ Sword Rule Brand always matches their cultivation realms.
Those Sword Cultivators who haven’t chosen the Sword Rule Brand at least have a corresponding Sword Heart that can block a bit.
Though Sect Leader Jiang is trying hard.
This time he truly wanted to gain some enlightenment on the Sword Heart, using his Sword Rule Brand to the fullest.
However, it’s quite helpless as the gap in power is too wide.
Those Great Perfection Swordsmanship he learned couldn’t even unfold before he was about to be crushed.
Under such circumstances, how could one talk about gaining enlightenment to enhance the Sword Heart?
Even his life is at risk.
Obviously, Cang Ling didn’t foresee this either.
"Hurry up and retreat!"
"Your situation is too unique; this opportunity is not suitable for you!"
"Don’t try to be brave!"
But how could Brother Cheng retreat?
Before coming in, he made grand claims, and withdrawing so shamefully would cost him all his dignity.
Now that he’s so famous, it wouldn’t take long for it to spread across the Six Realms.
Jiexin Jiang Cheng only stayed in Earth Sword Mountain for a minute before being forced out, setting the ’shortest’ record!
Jiang Cheng is the Quasi-Emperor with the worst swordsmanship talent in history!
An absolute deadwood!
Thinking of that scene, someone who cares so much about face like Brother Cheng would rather die.
And so, he did so willingly.
Perhaps he was the first to be killed during ’Enlightenment Cultivation’ within Earth Sword Mountain?
After all, others who couldn’t hold up knew to choose to retreat at the right moments.
The system prompt sound unsurprisingly rang out.
"Ding! Host killed, assessing enemy power, arranging resurrection plan!"
Brother Cheng anticipated eagerly.
He was killed because his Sword Rule Brand fell behind his cultivation realm.
Would the system directly elevate his Rule Brand to the Late-stage Quasi-Emperor level?
If so, then he’d achieve the purpose of this endeavor ahead of time.
However, his anticipation was unfulfilled.
"Ding! Host acquired Wood Sword Heart!"
"Ding! Host resurrected!"
This time, the system’s solution was appropriate.
This was testing the Wood Sword Heart, so he was given the Wood Sword Heart.
When Jiang Cheng came back alive, he found his Sword Rule Brand also improved somewhat.
Although not yet Mid-stage Quasi-Emperor level, it had already soared.
Besides this, the greatest change was a plethora of insights into the Wood Sword Heart appeared in his mind.
Those wooden swords outside once again began attacking as he revived.
Brother Cheng swung his long sword to counter, with the Wood Realm swirling around him at will, even purer than those wooden swords themselves!
Originally, the wooden swords dictated the rhythm, but now his sword led these wooden swords.
As if his sword had become their leader.
In just a moment, countless wooden swords were already in shambles.
Due to this transformation, the tier of the Wood Sword Heart on all wooden swords suddenly elevated, trying to suppress him once more.
Both sides contended fiercely, with the aura of the Wood Sword Heart almost obliterating this space.
The entire Earth Sword Mountain shook because of it.
Clearly, the realm of the Sword Rule was still overwhelmed, but now he felt no trace of danger.
The ocean of the Wood Realm was so surging!
Yet, leading the tide was himself...
When he finished dancing through a set of Great Perfection Swordsmanship, the wooden swords around suddenly turned into wood powder!
Rustle rustle!
All the wooden swords vanished.
Afterward, this valley seemed plain and ordinary, with no obstacles ahead of him.
He passed the trial.
Outside, those Sword Cultivators waiting to see a joke were still discussing merrily.
"Without a Sword Heart or a Sword Rule Brand, could he be killed?"
"No, he won’t, if he can’t hold up, he’ll come out!"
"Haha, this fun is getting good."
Brother Cheng’s guess was not wrong. If he had retreated earlier, he’d really lose a big face.
These people wouldn’t dare say it to his face, but they would surely spread it across the Six Realms afterward.
Just as everyone eagerly awaited Sect Leader Jiang’s shameful exit, the area belonging to the Wood Sword Heart within Earth Sword Mountain suddenly erupted with nine-colored light shooting into the skies!
That brilliance intermingled, containing endless mysteries of the Wood Realm, with each representing a tier of realm.
Just a glance stirred the hearts of all Sword Cultivators!
It was a Sword Heart level directly pointing to the core of the Sword Rule...
Everyone’s expressions changed greatly, as if witnessing a miracle.
Some Sword Cultivators were so shocked they almost fell from mid-air.
"A phenomenon of the Tier Nine Sword Heart!"
"This is the Tier Nine Wood Sword Heart!"
"The highest level of Sword Heart actually appeared under my witness?"
Each Sword Heart has nine tiers.
Reaching Tier Nine, the power of the sword’s realm attains its culmination.
Yet, in the Immortal Realm, Sword Cultivators are as numerous as sand in the Ganges, but those who can grasp the Sword Heart to such a level are extremely few.
Even absolute sword Dao geniuses like Ling Xing and Sorrow have only a Tier Seven Sword Heart.
This thing does not elevate alongside the cultivation realm and sword rules; it solely relates to the understanding of the Sword Dao.
If enlightenment is not achieved, a lifetime wouldn’t see an enhancement.
