Translator: 549690339
Before long, He Qingzhe, Guo Wei, and several others arrived at the Sword Tower.
The Sword Tower is one of Tiandou Academy’s inheritances of Sword Dao.
The Controlling Dragon Sword can only be comprehended by the top ten students of each grade, but every student may comprehend the Sword Tower.
When He Qingzhe and the others reached the Sword Tower, they saw that it was already surrounded by academy students.
“Senior Brother He!”
Seeing that it was He Qingzhe, the students bowed politely.
He Qingzhe nodded to everyone and stood with Guo Wei and the others in front of the tower gate of Sword Tower.
The Sword Tower had a total of eighteen floors, soaring into the sky.
Each level contained a profound Sword Dao Supreme Divine Power.
However, to enter and comprehend the Sword Dao of each level, one must first open the gate of that floor, and it has to be done using the power of one’s Sword Qi.
The gates seem simple, but are not easy to open. Each gate encapsulates the profound mysteries of the Supreme Sword Dao. Without a certain level of comprehension of Sword Dao, it’s simply impossible to budge the gate.
“Three junior brothers, I’ll go up first,” He Qingzhe said. He stepped forward, his palm surged with Sword Qi, and with a light imprint on the gate, the sword light of the gate flickered and slowly opened.
He Qingzhe dashed inside.
Once He Qingzhe had entered, the gate returned to its closed state.
Guo Wei stepped forward, his True Yuan circulating throughout his body. His fingers like swords, he struck fiercely and all at once, ten streams of Sword Qi blasted on the gate of each level.
The sword light of the gate flickered, and after a while, it finally opened slowly.
Clearly, it was much harder for Guo Wei to open the gate than for He Qingzhe.
Seeing the gate open, Guo Wei let out a sigh of relief and stepped inside.
Lin Xiao and Xiao Yong hesitated for a moment before they, too, came forward and used their Sword Qi to open it. However, Lin Xiao might have been born with a superior Divine Body and was skilled in saber techniques, but when it came to Sword Dao, he was much less proficient than Guo Wei; hence, it took him three attempts to barely open the gate.
Xiao Yong also managed to open it after three attempts.
While Guo Wei, Lin Xiao, Xiao Yong, and others entered the first level of the Sword Tower to comprehend Sword Dao, Yang Xiaotian returned to his own residence and quickly finished reading the academy handbook given to him by Huang Yiqing, thereby fully understanding the rules of Tiandou Academy.
Tiandou Academy was much freer compared to his previous Divine Sword Academy. There was no requirement for students to attend classes. Every day, teachers would lecture on swordsmanship, saber techniques, fist methods, palm techniques, and even body techniques and alchemy.
Students could choose what they liked to listen to.
If they chose not to attend, they could cultivate freely.
However, the academy had monthly examinations, and if one ranked in the last three places for three consecutive months, they would be expelled.
Every semester, the content of the monthly exam for each grade was written in the handbook, informing students which areas they should focus their cultivation on.
In terms of the Controlling Dragon Sword, only those within the top ten of their grade could seek to comprehend it.
After reaching the top ten, each could comprehend it for ten days.
Besides being in the top ten to comprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword, there was actually another way to access it.
That was to comprehend the entire Sword Tower.
With its eighteen floors, the Sword Tower had a Supreme Divine Sword Technique on each. If one could completely comprehend all the Divine Abilities in the eighteen floors of Sword Techniques, they would be permitted to comprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword.
Moreover, this meant one could comprehend the Controlling Dragon Sword at any time, permanently, unlike the ten-day limit for those within the top ten.
However, the Sword Tower has stood to this day, and no one has been able to fully comprehend all eighteen floors.
Even the founder of Tiandou Academy and all the successive deans have been unable to fully comprehend the eighteen levels of the Sword Tower.
The Sword Tower was left by a mysterious swordsman.
Legend has it that at the final level, there lies a sword and the Supreme Sword Dao left by the mysterious swordsman.
As to which sword it was, no one knew.
“Sword Tower,” Yang Xiaotian murmured to himself.
No one could comprehend all eighteen levels?
You should know, the history of Tiandou Academy is even longer than that of Divine Sword Academy. Yet, over all these years, no student has been able to fully comprehend the eighteen levels of the Sword Tower.
Tiandou Academy does not lack Sword Dao geniuses among its students, yet still, no one has managed to comprehend all eighteen levels. It seems that the
Sword Dao within the Sword Tower’s eighteen levels is exceptionally profound.
This, on the contrary, piqued Yang Xiaotian’s interest.
He had been able to comprehend sword techniques like the
Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique, so although the sword techniques of the Sword Tower were profound, he should be able to comprehend them too, he thought.
However, it was already approaching dusk, so he decided to enter the Sword Tower tomorrow.
Yang Xiaotian began to practice the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique in the courtvard.
He persisted in practicing the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique every day. Now, as his strength progressed, he had mastered up to the fourteenth move.
“Sword Rise Earth Treasury!” As Yang Xiaotian wielded the
Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sword, numerous streaks of sword Qi suddenly rose from the ground of the courtyard!
No, to be precise, they were rising from the deepest part of the ground beneath the courtyard!
The sight of sword Qi emerging from the deepest part of the ground was awe-inspiring.
This was precisely the fourteenth move of the Heaven -Penetrating Sword
Technique, “Sword Rise Earth Treasury.”
If this move were cultivated to its peak, with one strike, sword Qi would erupt from the earth’s deepest parts, boundless and incessant, as if coming from hell, and capable of engulfing the surface for thousands of miles around.
The thought of sword Qi spurting from deep underground and submerging thousands of miles was terrifying.
Until late into the night, Yang Xiaotian stopped practicing his swordsmanship and began to cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art.
The next day, as Yang Xiaotian arrived at Tiandou Academy and was about to enter the Sword Tower to comprehend swordsmanship, a startling surge of sword Qi burst towards the sky from the Sword Tower, followed by several more streaks.
Clearly, this was the scene of someone comprehending a Supreme Sword Technique, just like when he had comprehended the Stone Sword at Divine Sword Academy.
Soon, the academy was in an uproar.
“It’s Guo Wei, Guo Wei has comprehended the Supreme Sword Technique of the first level of the Sword Tower!”
“What, Guo Wei only entered the Sword Tower yesterday afternoon and has now comprehended the first level? It hasn’t even been a day! Guo Wei’s Sword Dao talent is indeed terrifying! I remember it took the academy head three days to comprehend the first level of the Sword Tower!”
Not long after, the students of the academy hurried around once again, excitedly shouting, “Guo Wei has condensed a Sword Heart!” Upon hearing the news, the academy’s upper echelons were all shaken.
Sword Heart!
Some geniuses with astounding Sword Dao talent, when comprehending sword techniques, would condense a Sword Heart. Once one possessed a Sword Heart, future sword technique cultivation and comprehension would advance by leaps and bounds.
Although there were thousands of students in Tiandou Academy, none had condensed a Sword Heart so far.
That’s why the upper echelons of Tiandou Academy were so moved.
Zhong Yun burst into excited laughter upon learning the news, “Headmaster, I told you my judgment wouldn’t be wrong. Guo Wei’s Sword Dao talent is against heaven. Previously he gained recognition as the master of the Heavenly Sword Golden Emperor Sword, and now he has condensed a Sword Heart. Moreover, he possesses a top-notch twelfth-grade Martial Soul. Such a genius appears once in ten thousand years; we should use all the resources at our disposal to nurture him!”
“Yang Xiaotian, how can he be compared with Guo Wei!”
Xie Hong also nodded happily, very excited; he certainly understood what condensing a Sword Heart meant.
Zhong Yun said with a delighted smile, “I don’t think we should wait for Guo Wei to break through to Martial Ancestor before deciding. Let’s decide now to devote all the academy’s resources to nurturing Guo Wei.”
Fan Riquan, who had originally been hopeful about Yang Xiaotian, was now silent.
Xie Hong said with a laugh, “Good, when Guo Wei comes out of the Sword
Tower, I’ll announce this news.”
At that moment, Yang Xiaotian blasted open the gate of the Sword Tower with his sword Qi and walked into the Sword Tower, beginning to comprehend its sword techniques..
