Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, and it was hard to believe that someone could match his speed of progress, and that someone at the seventh level could achieve such strength.
You must know that you can pass the assessment only after you burst into "violence" at the seventh level!
How could anyone else get here?
"The world is huge, but I only live in a corner of the mainland. The world I see is still too small, but I am already too proud..."
He shook his head and warned himself again to guard against arrogance and impetuosity!
Daqian may not have anyone of the same age who can compare with him, but isn't there anyone in the entire continent?
Chen Fan looked up at the guardian and asked:
"What exactly is this ultimate trial?"
The illusory spirit raised its head slightly, and on the high platform, in the jade box, a seed-like light spot floated up.
"This object is called the Sword Seed. It is the swordsman's supreme treasure. It can help the swordsman embark on the supreme swordsmanship... and the requirement of the final trial is to try every means to absorb this Sword Seed!"
Chen Fan was stunned.
Is this difficult or not?
He has no idea or heard of such a thing as a sword species!
"Is there any danger in absorbing the sword seed?" he asked.
The man looked at Chen Fan:
"Can't you feel it? Its 'sharpness'... is the biggest difficulty. If you can't get the recognition of the sword species, you won't be able to get close to the sword species at all."
Chen Fan's eyes flashed and he frowned.
He could indeed feel the special and extremely sharp aura. Even though he was far away, he felt as if his skin was being cut by invisible sword energy!
This is similar to Yu Hengcheng's artistic conception, but the actual power and effect are far superior!
There is even no comparison between the two!
He couldn't help but take a step forward, but felt that awe-inspiring and sharp aura suddenly strengthened a lot!
"This..." His expression also changed slightly, but he backed away again!
The illusory spirit glanced at Chen Fan with fiery red eyes:
"If you want to get close and absorb the sword seed, you must get its 'approval'. The prerequisite is to understand the sword intention. And the sword intention must meet the 'standard' for absorbing the sword seed. If you don't understand the intention, how can you enlighten the Tao!"
And Chen Fan carefully thought about what he said, "How can you understand the Tao without understanding the meaning", and couldn't help but ask:
"Sword intention? Is it the artistic conception of the sword? Is the realm above the artistic conception the Tao?"
The illusory spirit nodded:
"You can say that. It's just that the meaning of the sword is different from the ordinary artistic conception..."
What Cheng Caiying understood was the intention of the sword, and with the intention of the sword, he was able to fight against the leader of the Dragon Sect.
From the words of the Dragon Sect Master, Chen Fan could also tell that the so-called sword intention was a much more powerful artistic conception than ordinary artistic conceptions!
Presumably the sword intention should be the same!
However, he did not say how the sword intention was different from the ordinary artistic conception, but continued:
"If you have a complete understanding of the artistic conception and make breakthroughs, you will be able to understand the realm of Tao, which is also the prototype of Tao. It can be regarded as the threshold of stepping into Tao. At this time, warriors will be able to step into the realm of Fish Leap!"
"But if you want to enter immortality, you must thoroughly understand a 'Tao'!"
"The realm of Tao, Tao?" Many thoughts flashed through Chen Fan's mind.
He had heard that if a warrior wanted to reach the tenth level, he had to understand his own way. He originally thought that understanding his own way meant firming up his will and understanding his future direction.
It turns out that "Tao" refers to "Tao" in the true sense!
Those who can control the Tao Realm have actually confirmed the direction. A certain artistic conception has touched the threshold of the Tao, which can be called the tenth level of preparation. When the cultivation level reaches perfection and there are no leaks in oneself, you can use the Tao Realm to advance to the tenth level!
At this moment, Chen Fan also cleared up his doubts about being promoted to the tenth level!
And then, the man raised his hand and pointed at the huge stone wall behind Chen Fan!
"The stone carvings on this stone wall are all preserved sword intentions of swordsmen who once entered the threshold of swordsmanship. There are a total of one thousand and twenty-four sword intentions!"
Chen Fan's eyes widened.
Entering the threshold of swordsmanship naturally means that one has broken through the tenth level, and these one thousand and twenty-four sword intentions also mean that there are one thousand and twenty-four sword intentions left by swordsmen above the tenth level!
In the outside world, Chen Fan has never seen anyone who has understood the sword intention, and he has never even heard of anyone talking about it. At this moment, he was suddenly told that there were thousands of sword power experts who surpassed the tenth level on a stone wall. How could Chen Fan not be shocked?
!
"No wonder I don't dare to look at the sword marks on the stone wall..."
The illusory figure pointed to the surrounding bookshelves again and said:
"In addition to sword intention, there are a total of one hundred and eighty-six sets of sword techniques secret books on these bookshelves. These will be used as a reference for you to understand sword intention..."
"I would also like to remind you that the stronger the sword intention you comprehend, the more it will resonate with the sword intention on the stone wall. If you want to succeed and absorb the sword seed, you must at least be able to resonate with a hundred sword intentions on the stone wall!"
"The two people who came here before you were both amazingly talented. They each understood the meaning of the sword, but neither of them was able to refine the seeds of the sword..."
During the long time that the Yuan Shang Trial Ground existed, only three people, including Chen Fan, met the requirements and came here!
Chen Fan turned back and looked at the stone wall and the many classics on the surrounding bookshelves.
He took a deep breath and smiled bitterly.
He has the talent to hang up and let him practice martial arts. He is confident that he can master any difficult martial art, but he wants to understand the sword's intention but he doesn't know how to do it...
If one could understand the meaning of the sword by learning the sword, Chen Fan would have understood it long ago!
Chen Fan has practiced many sword techniques since "Three Feet Sword", and the main weapons he uses are swords, but he has never understood the so-called sword intention...
And it doesn't mean that Chen Fan can absorb the sword seed by just comprehending a sword intention at will, but that the sword intention must be high enough to be able to do it!
The so-called resonance of a hundred sword intentions is the standard for measuring the "level" of sword intentions!
"The third trialist, you are also the youngest one here. Maybe you have the opportunity to absorb the sword species and step into the supreme swordsmanship... I wish you good luck."
After saying this, the illusory figure disappeared!
After the spirit body disappeared, Chen Fan stepped back to the door he entered.
At this time, the door was filled with light.
Chen Fan drew his sword and struck out!
The thunder spread, but it did not stir up any waves, and was completely swallowed and absorbed by the dense spiritual light!
Chen Fan raised his eyebrows and tried many times before finally confirming that he could not leave violently.
"You can't break through by force!"
He also had a frown, and his face was extremely ugly:
"This is terrible. Sword intent is not easy to realize, and to reach the standard of absorbing sword seeds, the sword intent I need to realize must be very strong! Even if I really have that possibility, I'm afraid it will take quite a long time.
It’s a long time, it can’t be accomplished in a year or two…”
If he goes step by step, he will only be trapped here for a long time!
Thinking of his relatives and friends in the outside world, as well as Pu Zhongyu and Gu Tian who were eyeing him, Chen Fan shook his head, naturally he didn't want to be passively trapped here!
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the kendo seeds on the high platform, and soon a special method came to his mind!
"Understanding the sword intention can offset the sharp aura emitted by the kendo seeds. But if my body is strong enough and I forcefully break through, wouldn't I be able to absorb the kendo seeds in advance?"
Chen Fan licked his lips: "The spirit body said before that as long as it can absorb the sword seed, it can leave. Who said I can't forcibly absorb the sword seed!"
He also immediately shrunk his body to the limit, and then slowly walked towards the high platform!
When he was within ten feet, he felt as if countless knives were cutting him all over his body, and the embroidered clothes around him were filled with spiritual light, but all these sharp forces were blocked out.
As you keep getting closer, that invisible sharp force becomes stronger!
Until within one meter!
Kaka!
The aura of the top-grade spiritual weapon robe around Chen Fan was cut into pieces by countless invisible knives!
The invisible sharp sword energy directly hit Chen Fan's embroidered clothes. At the same time, the parts of his skin that were not covered by the robes directly experienced the sharp invisible power!
Chen Fan's palms, cheeks and other places immediately started to bleed!
