Chapter 161: Unity Of Heaven And Man
"Shouldn't, shouldn't! The Myriad Sword Chart shouldn't be ignitable by cultivators at all. For thousands of years, it has hung silently in the Void Palace, for people to observe and comprehend. How could it be activated voluntarily today?"
"Moreover, these sword intents, just being impacted once, give me splitting headaches! At most, it would take six or seven impacts of sword intent, and my spiritual consciousness would have to collapse!"
"It's too terrifying! Daoist Su, we should leave here first!"
At the same time as Chu Xuanyi was in a state of panic and confusion, the other Fish-Dragon Realm cultivators also had their faces changed drastically.
"The Myriad Sword Chart! The treasure of the Void Palace, the Myriad Sword Chart, has appeared in the world!"
"A single strand of sword intent nearly destroyed my spiritual consciousness. It's said that this diagram was cultivated by ancient powerhouses to refine their spiritual strength and temper sword intent. Can you believe it's really for cultivating spiritual strength and sword intent? Instead of just turning people into idiots directly???"
"Damn it! The Myriad Sword Chart used to hang in the Void Palace before, and it wouldn't activate. With our cultivation, we could barely comprehend it. Now it has turned into this appearance, a single strand of sword intent is already unbearable for us, not to mention that there are ten thousand of them!"
"Quick, run out of this area, otherwise even if our bodies survive, we might spend the rest of our lives in confusion, turning into idiots!"
Each Fish-Dragon Realm cultivator was filled with immense fear. After fleeing more than ten miles, when they were outside the area covered by the Myriad Sword Chart, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Xuanyi was also extremely anxious in his heart: "Daoist Su, why haven't you gone yet"
Su Zhan was a bit puzzled: "Daoist Chu, didn't you say that the Myriad Sword Chart is a treasure for tempering the spiritual strength and sword intent of cultivators? Now that there's a chance to temper them, why should we leave?"
"I"
Chu Xuanyi let out a bitter laugh: "I did say that, but that was referring to the Myriad Sword Chart that hadn't been activated. Now that it has been activated, even if only one percent of it is active, the effect is more than ten times stronger than before!"
Su Zhan was even more puzzled: "Isn't this even better?"
Chu Xuanyi was completely speechless. Damn, my head is almost shattered by these sword intents, and you're telling me it's better?
Oh right, I forgot that you're a lunatic. Why am I even talking to you? You won't get into trouble anyway!
Thinking about how Su Zhan is not an ordinary person at all, Chu Xuanyi hurriedly said, "Daoist Su, take your time to cultivate. I'll make my escape first and wait for you outside!"
After speaking, Chu Xuanyi spread his wings behind him and flew outside.
"Daoist Chu is truly a great person! To think he's willingly giving up such a perfect cultivation opportunity for me!" Su Zhan felt somewhat emotional.
Chu Xuanyi, who was flying in the air, heard this and nearly lost balance, his wings tilting. Heh, didn't I want to prevent you from waiting here to die???
With these thoughts in mind, Chu Xuanyi accelerated his speed and fled the area. Looking back, he saw two sword-intent-formed small swords descending from the Myriad Sword Chart, rushing toward Su Zhan.
"Daoist Su! It is said that when comprehending the Myriad Sword Chart, you can only comprehend one strand of sword intent the first time, then two, four, eight Daoist Su, be careful! Don't impulsively attract too many sword intents that your soul can't bear!" Chu Xuanyi's voice echoed.
Su Zhan's eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Two strands.
Four strands.
Eight strands.
Sixteen strands.
Ten thousand strands of sword intent, when would he have to cultivate until?
No, instead of waiting for the Myriad Sword Chart to passively increase the number of sword intents, it's better to actively attract those sword intents!
Cultivating one strand at a time is just too slow. Since that's the case, then let them all come!
With this thought in mind, Su Zhan took a deep breath, looked up at the massive Myriad Sword Chart, and extended his spiritual power towards it with all his might. At the same time, his Sword Dao Halo, Mental Strength Halo, Composure Halo, Comprehension Halo, all opened up.
The great achievement level Celestial Dragon Sword Intent emerged!
The next moment, the thousands of small swords on the Myriad Sword Chart did resonate as if in response, shining brightly.
"Sizzle!"
Strands of sword-intent-formed small swords rushed toward Su Zhan!
Ten strands.
A hundred strands.
A thousand strands.
Ten thousand strands!
At first, ten strands of sword intent rushed down like a trench.
In the end, ten thousand strands of sword intent converged, transforming into a massive river composed purely of sword intent!
"Daoist Su, this, this, this is madness, right-" Just as Chu Xuanyi had opened his mouth to remind Su Zhan to be careful, he saw this scene unfold before his eyes, and he was left dumbfounded.
He wasn't the only one. The Fish-Dragon Realm cultivators who were also observing Su Zhan were all left stunned, one by one.
Su Zhan had truly gone insane.
They all admitted that.
So even if Su Zhan could ignore the threat of the Myriad Sword Chart and cultivate there, they didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Even if Su Zhan attracted thirty or fifty strands of sword intent to cleanse at once, they might have just exclaimed, "Young Master Su is truly unrivaled in the world!"
But damn it, this was ten thousand strands, ten thousand! Even a Saint wouldn't dare do this, right?
Is he really not afraid of being turned into an idiot??
Everyone was staring at Su Zhan with utterly bewildered expressions.
Meanwhile, Su Zhan was feeling extremely pleased at the moment.
Under the influence of several protagonist Halos, the impact of those sword intents on his spiritual power was infinitely reduced. However, his comprehension of sword intent was greatly amplified!
As the river of sword intent washed through him one by one from within, his realm of sword intent soared rapidly, and finally, after all ten thousand strands of sword intent had swept through him, they returned to the Myriad Sword Chart.
As for Su Zhan, he also stood up from the ground. He didn't actively attract more sword intent, but rather, he joined his index fingers and thrust them forward casually.
"Swish!"
An immediate ripple appeared in the front space, as if pierced by a sword!
"The harmony of heaven and earth" Su Zhan murmured a sentence, retracting the Celestial Dragon Sword Intent and drawing the Golden Thunder Bamboo Sword. He swung it out casually.
This sword seemed very ordinary, yet it was precisely this ordinary aspect that made people feel as if this sword wasn't swung by Su Zhan but was born of the heavens and earth themselves. Moreover, as this sword energy flew out, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth also flowed into the sword energy, greatly increasing its power!
"Bang!"
This sword energy struck the eaves and pillars of the outer hall of the Void Palace.
The pillar that had endured the intense battle just now trembled for a moment, and then, a clearly visible crack appeared on its surface.
"Boom!"
The upper part of the eaves, along with the upper half of the pillar, slid down along the smoothly cut surface, collapsing!
"The unity of heaven and man!"
"No matter what kind of artistic conception, when it reaches its highest realm, it becomes the unity of heaven and man!"
"This is a level that many Saints are unable to comprehend! The unity of heaven and man, when a person emits killing intent, it's as if the heavens themselves emit killing intent! It can harness the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for oneself, amplifying the power of the attack!"
"The unity of heaven and man Throughout history, everyone who has achieved it has ultimately become a Sword Saint who far surpasses ordinary Saints! This is a future Sword Saint!"
"The question is, how did he withstand the impact of ten thousand strands of sword intent? And how did he comprehend the highest realm of sword intent, the unity of heaven and man?"
Those cultivators who were originally extremely excited and shouting fell into silence upon hearing this sentence.
You're asking us? We damn well want to know why he's so outrageous too!
At this moment, Su Zhan nodded in satisfaction.
The unity of heaven and man, acclaimed as the highest realm of sword intent!
Many Saints yearn to comprehend it but are unable to. If he were to encounter that red-eyed demon again right now, at most, he would only need three strikes to disintegrate his physical body. He could even break that Incarnation of Demon Qi technique.
Su Zhan thought to himself as he sheathed his sword. He ignored the sporadic impacts of the Myriad Sword Chart's sword intent and headed towards Chu Xuanyi.
"Daoist Su, you, you really are, really are" Words came to Chu Xuanyi's lips, but he couldn't finish them. He could only silently add in his mind: truly a freak!
Su Zhan didn't mind and turned his head to look at the Myriad Sword Chart.
Chu Xuanyi understood Su Zhan's intention and sighed, "Daoist Su, be content! You've achieved the unity of heaven and man. Do you really want to take away the Myriad Sword Chart?"
"What I said before about it being impossible for someone below the level of a Saint to take it away was actually wrong. In fact, even many Saints in the outside world have said that even if they could come here, it doesn't necessarily mean they could take it.
"Daoist Su"
"Why not give it a try? How will we know if we don't try?"
Su Zhan chuckled, activated his Unlimited Treasure Halo, reached out his hand, and true qi surged forth. He tugged at the Myriad Sword Chart in mid-air. As if pulling down a curtain.
That overwhelming Myriad Sword Chart was pulled down from the sky by him, flying into his hand!
