Weapon Master

Chapter 1033 - Source Meaning (2)

On the stone steps, Tang Huan suddenly stopped.

At this time, the pressure generated by the sword intent became increasingly large, and was enough to make it difficult for Tang Huan to breathe.

In front of him, there were still more cultivators moving forward, and a few of them had already surpassed him.

With regards to this, Tang Huan turned a blind eye. If he continued to persevere on, he should still be able to advance another ten to twenty levels. However, there was no need.

With a slight movement of his mind instructs (in a second), Tang Huan carefully sensed the sword intent around him.

Wave after wave of sword intent descended the lower half of the stairs. The only thing that could be seen was a slightly turbulent tide. However, it had already turned into a violent stormy sea.

When comprehending sword intent, one needed to capture a hint of the most fundamental meaning hidden within the sword intent.

If he could adapt himself to the meaning of the source of equity, reaching the peak would not be a problem. Generally speaking, upon reaching the peak, the position of Little Sword Sovereign would appear in his hands. However, if he wanted to ring the ancient bell in front of the Hidden Sword Hall, just by being able to respond to the essence of the bell wasn't enough. He still had to be able to communicate with it.

Only in this way would one be able to ring the ancient bell.

Tang Huan calmed his mind and concentrated, he could sense that there was a trace of Inheritance constantly flowing out of his body, but the moment it came into contact with the boundless sword intent, it was completely melted.

Back then, when Tang Huan first entered the Heavenly Sword Hall, what was fused with the sword intent was the meaning of the Conqueror Spear. At that time, Tang Huan often used the spear, so the spear intent that stained his body was naturally the spear intent of the Conqueror Spear.

On this stone staircase, almost everyone was carrying a weapon.

The reason for this was that with the help of a weapon, it was easier to resonate with the surrounding sword intent. If the resonance was formed, then it would be much easier to capture the essence of that sword intent.

Right now, Tang Huan did not have a weapon, but the Dantian had a Divine Armament.

"Absolute Yang Scarlet Scale Sword..." Tang Huan's mind moved, and the middle stage Divine Armament already left the Dantian's "Nine Yang Divine Furnace", and it appeared in his palm.

"Buzz!"

In the next moment, true essence gushed into the sword blade, causing it to tremble. An incomparably tyrannical sword intent suffused the air.

However, as soon as the sword intent of the "Absolute Yang Scarlet Scale Sword" came into contact with the surrounding sword intent, it was immediately absorbed. Tang Huan was not in a hurry, his True Essence continued to enter the sword, and the Sword Intent released by the "Absolute Yang Scarlet Scale Sword" was strong, weak and weak, as though it was growing stronger.

Tang Huan tried over and over again.

Inadvertently, all of the cultivators at the middle section of the stairs had already stopped in their tracks, each of them continuously activating the weapons in their hands, their voices trembling one after another.

Time passed by quickly, and night came. On the stairs, a faint white glow blossomed, causing the entire main road to be as bright as day.

The top half of the stairs were filled with cultivators. However, there were still people who couldn't withstand the pressure and returned to the foot of the mountain to start again. Even the cultivators furthest away were no exception. At the foot of the mountain, many cultivators had already left, preparing to come again tomorrow to watch.

However, Xi Yi, Wei Xuan Pavilion and the rest stayed behind, their eyes still shining brightly.

"Buzz!"

An abnormally intense tremble resounded through the air like a clap of thunder, causing one's ears to ring.

Upon hearing this voice, many of the cultivators at the foot of the mountain jumped in fright as astonishment was revealed between their brows. Meanwhile, Xi Yi and the others, as well as the cultivators who had once participated in and watched the Grand Ceremony, were greatly roused at this moment. The appearance of such a huge commotion signified that someone could already resonate with the sword intent.

Everyone followed his gaze and looked over. Within that group of people in the middle section of the stone staircase, a visible ripple that was like a ripple had already appeared in the air around a man.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, the most one could see was the side of one's face. However, this was sufficient for Xi Yi and the rest to determine that person's identity.

"That's He Ming, right?" The first person who was able to resonate with the sword intent was actually him. If I remember correctly, he should be around fifty years old right now.

Xi Yi nodded with a smile.

He was almost fifty years old before he reached the peak of the Nihility God Stage. This was already quite good.

It could even be said that stepping into the Nascent Profound Realm at the age of sixty was already considered stunning and talented. For example, Tang Huan and Mei Yingluo, who were both in their thirties yet had already stepped into the Nascent Profound Realm, they were extremely rare, even in the history of the Pure Yang Sword Sect, they were rarely seen.

Even though the current Pure Yang Sword Sect was not at its most prosperous, it was definitely the most outstanding time for the younger generation of disciples.

Forget about Tang Huan, Mei Yingluo, Yu Qingge and the other Golden Sword disciples, amongst the swordsmen, there were already a few who had reached the Nascent Profound Realm before they were fifty years old.

As for those over fifty years old, that was even more so.

"Although He Ming's cultivation is not as high as Tang Huan's, his attainments in the way of the sword is definitely the deepest among all the cultivators participating in the grand ceremony.

"This He Ming has already accumulated a lot. Three years ago, he was only in the origin realm. After making a trip into the 'Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm', his cultivation rose to the peak of the Void Tribulation Realm. He could be considered to have made a sudden breakthrough in this grand ceremony."

"Right now, everything is difficult to judge. The first one to resonate with the sword intent might not be the first one to find the source of the sword intent. Whether or not he can ring the bell is hard to say."

"..."

Just as Xi Yi, Wei Xuan Pavilion and the rest were chatting and laughing in a soft voice, another intense vibration rose up, causing everyone to focus their gazes over once again.

"Tang Huan!" Wei Xuan Pavilion laughed loudly, "I knew this kid would not disappoint."

"What does the second resonance with sword intent mean? To be able to resonate with the sword intent in one day, there are many things that you will not be able to catch up to in the next six days, Tang Huan this brat … "

He was not really angry that Tang Huan did not join the Fire Clan. After all, he was one of the seven Great Elders, and stood at a different height from Pan Ke. The reason he said this wasn't because he had any opinions towards Tang Huan, but purely because he was displeased with Wei Xuan Pavilion.

But before he could finish, his voice abruptly stopped.

By the side, Wei Xuan Pavilion's eyes were also shining brightly. They could no longer be bothered with bickering with Meng Xing Chun. Their gazes were fixated on the figure. It was not only him, but even Sect Master Yi and the other Great Elders had similar expressions on their faces. Even Meng Xingshu's eyes were filled with shock.

On the stone staircase, Tang Huan's footsteps had actually moved!

Even after He Ming resonated with the sword intent, he still stood there motionless, obviously still capturing the source of the sword intent. But the moment Tang Huan resonated with the sword intent, he had already begun to move. But the strange thing was, Tang Huan did not walk towards the top of the stairs, but continued downwards.

What was going on?

Upon seeing this scene, not only were the cultivators at the foot of the mountain bewildered, even Sect Master Yi, Wei Xuan Pavilion, Meng Xing Chun, and the rest looked at each other in dismay. Going down instead of up? Could it be that he couldn't withstand the pressure and wanted to go down? It would be a pity if that was the case!

If he did not take advantage of the fact that his sword intent was resonating to strike the iron while it was hot and carefully perceive it, he would miss out on a good opportunity!
