Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 160: Chapter 120: True Martial Sword Stele, Using the Wisdom of All Beings as Fuel (Two-in-One)_4

All the swordsmen were dumbfounded, the Sword Intent within the Sword Monument made them look up in reverence. ”The True Martial Sword Monument? What a Heavenly Sword True Man!”

The Town North King couldn’t help but speak in praise.

There was admiration in his eyes; he was one of the few who could fully sense the complete Sword Intent of the True Martial Sword Monument. He had a premonition that this monument would become famous across the world, becoming a holy site for all swordsmen to pay homage.

As long as one harbors no malice, they can comprehend the Sword Dao from this monument. What grand gesture is this, to offer such favor to the world’s swordsmen? He was completely unafraid of others learning his Sword Dao.

The Town North King sighed inwardly: ”It’s a pity that this Heavenly Sword True Man seems to have little time left. Otherwise, with such unparalleled Sword Intent, it would be highly likely for him to climb to the top three of the Celestial Being List in the future.”

He speculated that the Heavenly Sword True Man was probably one obsessed with the sword, perhaps someone who had an enlightenment late in life. Across the world, his Sword Intent was almost unmatched, though his cultivation realm was somewhat lacking.

Snake Granny looked at the Sword Monument, and confidently shook her head to the Southern Border Saintess: ”Such ultimate Sword Intent can only be wielded by those who are extremely devoted to the sword. Poisonous power? It would only contaminate their path. From today’s observation, though the Heavenly Sword True Man has the strength to easily kill the Fat and Skinny Elders, he obviously was not the one who did it.”

The Southern Border Saintess also nodded.

She glanced deeply at the True Martial Sword Monument. Although interested in a closer look, with so many people around, her presence would draw unnecessary attention. ”Being able to witness such a grand battle is already worthwhile. From now on, just focus on the Demon Sect.”

She was quick-witted, already understanding why the Heavenly Sword True Man erected this Sword Monument.

Reflecting on past events, she realized that the Heavenly Sword True Man must be someone who greatly dislikes trouble. Forced to act today, he stunned the world with a single move, causing the Thunder Shock Blade Venerate to bow in submission, ensuring that those with discernment would not challenge him freely from now on.

But not everyone may be tactful; erecting this True Martial Sword Monument tells others that by seeing this Sword Intent, they should know to retreat.

The crowd also understood the intention of the Heavenly Sword True Man.

They marveled.

The sound of discussions echoed all around.

The swordsmen’s gazes were incredibly fervent, looking at the True Martial Sword Monument with eagerness. The unparalleled Sword Intent within it moved them; witnessing the might of the Heavenly Sword in person today, even comprehending a tiny fraction would be immensely beneficial.

However, since this True Martial Sword Monument was erected by the Heavenly Sword True Man, whether they could comprehend it was uncertain. Eager eyes turned toward the members of the True Martial Sect.

Ning Qi chuckled to himself.

Erecting this True Martial Sword Monument was not a spur-of-the-moment decision but something he had long considered.

Avoiding trouble by deterring other challengers is just one aspect, perhaps even the least important part.

More importantly, Ning Qi wanted to add another layer of protection for the True Martial Sect.

This monument combined Ning Qi’s research in Qimen Techniques. The Sword Intent within, if triggered, could unleash the might of the Heavenly Sword Technique several times, which might have wondrous effects. There might also be times when Ning Qi is not on True Martial Mountain.

Furthermore,

Ning Qi had no intention for this True Martial Sword Monument to be exclusive to the True Martial Sect. Disciples could of course have priority to comprehend it, but some seats would also be open to outsiders.

Thus, he confidently believed that before long, the site of the True Martial Sword Monument would become a Swordmen’s Holy Land, attracting many powerful swordsmen, even those at the Celestial Human Realm.

Consider this: if these powerful swordsmen comprehend the Sword Intent, owing a favor to the Heavenly Sword True Man, how could they stand idly by if the True Martial Sect faces crisis? In this way, the safety of the True Martial Sect would be greatly enhanced without formality.

With the current situation growing more chaotic, Ning Qi felt the need to add another layer of insurance for the True Martial Sect.

If there were such a swordsman moat, then whether it be the Demon Sect or the Southern Border Alliance, they’d have to think twice before making a move against the True Martial Sect.

Finally, the most important reason of all.

Is Ning Qi’s own idea.

He wanted to conduct an experiment.

Erecting the True Martial Sword Monument and even revealing his Sword Intent was Ning Qi’s attempt. With his comprehension, to make all ways his own, he needed to harness the wisdom of all beings, Sword Dao being just one of many paths Ning Qi mastered.

Now, attracting many swordsmen with the monument was to make the world’s Sword Dao his own.

Others would naturally reveal their Sword Intent when comprehending the True Martial Sword Monument, interacting with it, equating to exposing their paths before Ning Qi’s eyes. It’s about imparting Sword Intent to beings and receiving their feedback in return.

Why isn’t Ning Qi afraid of others learning his Sword Intent?

The reason is simple: by the time others have learned it, his Sword Intent would have assimilated countless nutrients and evolved to an unknown degree.

In terms of comprehension, who could surpass Ning Qi?

If this experiment succeeds and yields significant results, he would resolutely proceed on the path of making all ways his own, using the wisdom of all beings as fuel to aid him in seeking the Great Dao.

Ning Qi felt slightly stirred.

Without showing any emotion, he transmitted a few words to Taoist Longshan.

Taoist Longshan was initially unsure how to handle the True Martial Sword Monument, noticing the fervent gazes of the many swordsmen. Now, with Ning Qi’s instruction, he felt reassured.

Facing the eyes of the crowd.

Taoist Longshan laughed loudly: ”Today, under the grace of Senior Tianjian, the True Martial Sword Monument is erected here. Thank you for not abandoning it. Any fellow interested in the monument may view it, but remember to act within your limits and avoid self-harm. Soon, our True Martial Sect will announce the regulations; please be patient.”

Such a Sword Enlightenment Holy Land.

Must be well-managed, lest it devolves into chaos, resulting in more harm than good.

Upon hearing Taoist Longshan’s promise, all the swordsmen were excited.

Cheers erupted; the swordsmen all bowed in the direction where the Heavenly Sword True Man vanished: ”We thank Senior Tianjian!”

The other martial artists were envious.

The blademen were reddened, each like a defeated rooster, but given their inferior skills, what could they do? They could only watch as the swordsmen gained yet another Sword Enlightenment Holy Land.

After today’s great battle, for at least the next few years, the blademen wouldn’t have the courage to compete with the swordsmen.

Luofu Sword Venerate’s lip twitched. Looking at the True Martial Sword Monument, he felt tempted to comprehend it and verify it against his own Sword Dao, but having had a recent conflict with the True Martial Sect, if he now shamelessly went over, wouldn’t he be utterly disgraced?

In the case of borrowing the sword previously, had the Heavenly Sword True Man lost, the pressure would have been on him. But who would have thought the Heavenly Sword True Man easily subdued the Thunder Shock Blade Venerate.

He could already foresee how the Martial Realm would judge him in the future.

Luofu Sword Venerate flicked his sleeves and left.

Thunder Shock Blade Venerate had a wry smile; he arrived under the spotlight but now had become a marginal figure.

He no longer had the face to remain there, looking complexly towards the rear of True Martial Mountain before quietly leaving.

Some Blade Path powerhouses felt utterly embarrassed and quietly departed.

As one after another, these formidable figures disappeared from True Martial City.

This battle between blade and sword finally came to a close.

In a moment.

The names of the Heavenly Sword True Man and the True Martial Sword Monument spread across the world.
