Chapter 1134 Studying The Sword Tablet
Chapter 1134 Studying The Sword Tablet
“Heavens! He’s managed to reach the sixth floor! I believe this is an unprecedented event!” The spectators outside the Sword Pagoda were in an uproar when they saw the light on the sixth floor.
A look of disbelief appeared on Long Chen’s face for a brief moment before his eyes flickered with a vicious flame of various emotions.
Awe, jealousy, shock, inferiority— so many feelings that he hadn’t felt in a very long or ever surfaced at once, overwhelming him and his pride.
The others from the upper heavens were also feeling similar emotions.
“Are you sure he came from this dump? How do you know he’s not lying to you?” One of them doubted Long Chen’s claim that Yuan was someone from the Third Heaven.
“I would’ve recognized him if he came from the upper heavens!” Long Chen gritted his teeth.
“He could’ve easily disguised himself.”
“Unless he consumed a pill made by the God of Alchemy himself, there’s no way I wouldn’t realize it!”
Despite saying these words, Long Chen himself was beginning to doubt whether Yuan had come from this Third Heaven or not.
‘He was wearing the Golden Dragon Robe, after all… Now that I think about it, there’s no way he can acquire something like that in this place, where the Royal Dragon Clan doesn’t exist…’
‘But it didn’t seem like he was lying when he said that he didn’t come from the upper heavens, so where in heaven’s name did this guy come from?!’
While the spectators were still trying to get over their shock, Yuan was sitting before the sword tablet, silently staring at the sword marks on it.
‘This reminds me of the sword marks in the Mystic Realm…’
Yuan recalled the nameless temple within the Mystic Realm, where he also met Lan Yingying for the first time.
Inside the temple was a tablet with sword marks, and he learned Sword Aura after studying the tablet.
“The sword marks on that sword tablet…” Lan Yingying mumbled in a low voice as she found the sword marks to have a familiar feeling to them.
“Do you recognize the sword tablet?” Feng Yuxiang asked her out of curiosity.
“Not the sword tablet, but the sword marks on it. Although the pattern is different, the marks are almost identical to the ones on the Lord’s tablet…” Lan Yingying proceeded to tell the others about her first meeting with Yuan and about the temple that she had spent the majority of her life taking care of.
“So it has something to do with Sword Aura, huh? I wonder what the Young Master is going to learn this time…” Feng Yuxiang mumbled with an anticipating look on her face.
Yuan would spend the next 24 hours staring at the sword marks without any breaks.
Meanwhile, the people outside the Sword Pagoda were confused and filled with curiosity as to what was happening on the sixth floor, and the number of people outside had increased drastically once words began to spread. This could be a once-in-a-lifetime event, so people were rushing over to the Sword Pagoda.
“It’s already been a full day since he entered the sixth floor. Just what is happening inside?”
“This is the first time that someone has ever reached the sixth floor, so nobody can say for sure.”
Time passed quickly, and within the blink of an eye, three days have passed since Yuan entered the sixth floor.
During the last three days, nothing significant has happened to Yuan. In fact, he was still trying to comprehend the sword marks.
“It’s already been 3 days. Whatever secret is behind that sword tablet, it must be incredibly profound since it usually takes the Young Master no time to understand them.” Feng Yuxiang sighed out loud.
However, just as she finished her sentence, an explosive amount of Sword Aura suddenly gushed out of Yuan’s body.
“What an immense amount of Sword Aura…” Xiao Hua mumbled in a dazed voice.
Yuan’s Sword Aura would only continue to intensify from that moment.
On the fourth day, the Sword Aura around Yuan had become so dense that it could even be seen by one’s bare eyes, and it took the shape of a sword, making it seem as though Yuan himself had turned into a sword.
“This is…” Xiao Hua’s eyes flickered with excitement when she realized what was happening.
“What is it? Share your insight with the rest of us.” Feng Yuxiang noticed this and said to her.
Xiao Hua sneered in a cute manner, silently refusing Feng Yuxiang’s request.
“You little…” Feng Yuxiang gritted her teeth in frustration, as she was really curious about Yuan’s condition.
“Do you know anything?” She turned to ask Lan Yingying, who was staring at Yuan with wide eyes.
Lan Yingying shook her head, “I have never seen anything like this before, but it feels familiar somehow.”
Meanwhile, there were now over 50,000 people surrounding the Sword Pagoda, all of them on the verge of insanity from the anticipation, their curiosity peaked.
“Shit! What the hell is he doing in there?! It’s already been four days!”
“Did he die inside or something? There’s no way he’s been fighting for the past four days!”
“What do you think is really happening inside?”
“Only time will tell.”
On the fifth day, Yuan finally closed his eyes and entered a state of trance.
“T-That’s…” Feng Yuxiang’s eyebrows twitched upon seeing this familiar sight.
“He’s experiencing enlightenment once again…” Lan Yingying mumbled with a bittersweet smile on her face.
Most people would be considered lucky if they experience enlightenment even once in their lifetime, yet Yuan has already experienced it multiple times within a year.
Towards the end of the sixth day, Yuan opened his eyes to be greeted by a notification.
