On the high platform, the Elders had varying expressions upon hearing the words 'Sword Core'.
Although none of the Elders present possessed a Sword Core, they were not unfamiliar with it.
It could be sharp enough to cut iron like mud, yet °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° soft enough to wrap around a finger like a ring.
There was once a Senior in Sword City who had extraordinary talent but extremely bad luck. Due to various accidents, he lingered in the Inner Breath Realm for decades, scattering his cultivation and rebuilding it seven times.
Over those decades, he never stopped comprehending swordsmanship. The last time he observed the Hengyun Sword Scar, he transformed his Mystic Core into a Sword Core, and then further observed the Hengyun Sword Scar as Divine Intention, breaking through the Inner Scenery directly by means of extreme form and observation of the Divine Intention.
That Senior was named Wan Wuchang, the previous City Lord of Hengyun Sword City, and the Martial Emperor's sword Dao enlightenment teacher.
"Senior Wan's case was a matter of accumulating a lot to achieve a breakthrough, but this kid doesn't seem to be like that."
"In the Major Thousand Worlds, there is nothing new under the sun. Back then, Senior Wan's talent was astounding, yet he was still in the Inner Breath Realm at Forty, which was also unprecedented."
"Everyone's talent is different. For him to be able to condense a Sword Core at such a young age, he must have his own unique qualities."
Elder Zeng sighed with emotion:
"To be able to incorporate so many sword techniques for his own use, I see a lot of sweat and effort."
Several Elders nodded in agreement.
They had seen many world-shaking sword Dao Geniuses, but they were more interested in Xiao Li.
"It's just his personality, a bit too flamboyant."
"Heh heh, I wonder who, at such an old age, concealed his Realm and disguised himself to participate in the new Disciple selection of another sword sect." freeweɓnøvel.com
"How can a swordsman's actions be called showing off?"
"I am curious as to what he will comprehend if he observes the Hengyun Sword Scar."
Eighty percent of Hengyun Sword City's martial arts originated from that sword scar.
That sword scar was incredibly mysterious and profound; anyone could comprehend martial arts from it.
What each person comprehended would be suitable for them, and it wouldn't necessarily be swordsmanship.
The higher the talent, the better the martial arts comprehended.
The Elders were also quite curious.
"Oh, and one more thing."
Elder Zeng cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention back:
"That young man named Li entrusted Jinghong to send me a letter."
"It concerns the Rain Listening Pavilion's Coming Storm Order."
The other Elders and deacons immediately became serious.
The Coming Storm Order meant that the command was issued directly from the main pavilion.
The internal management of the Rain Listening Pavilion was loose, and this was one of the few ways to mobilize personnel.
"Those rats are only interested in profit, but their actions are quite secretive. Is the information reliable?" an Elder asked.
How could Li Mo know so much about the Rain Listening Pavilion?
Elder Zeng paused, then nodded:
"It even specifies two strongholds of the Rain Listening Pavilion, and also includes the whereabouts of the Rain Listening Pavilion's Saintess."
The Elders' expressions grew heavy.
This almost confirmed it.
Even the Saintess had come, so their plot must be significant. They wouldn't be coming together for a team-building exercise, would they? Just kidding, the biggest characteristic of the Rain Listening Pavilion is their sole focus on profit; they don't act without seeing a clear advantage.
However, the information currently available was still too little.
Everyone could only look to the side.
The woman's eyes were a faint gold, her face serene, and her every movement exuded a sense of being one with nature.
If one wasn't careful, one might even forget her existence.
"Yantian Sect owes Hengyun Sword City a favor."
The woman finally withdrew her attention from Li Mo, a flawless jade plate quietly floating before her:
"This is my first divination since descending the mountain, and it will resolve this Karma."
Whoosh—
The jade pieces on the jade plate began to slide rapidly.
Looking at the divination on the jade plate, she first frowned, then her brows relaxed.
Elder Zeng felt as if he was watching an old Chinese doctor with a difficult expression, and couldn't help but ask:
"How is it, traveler?"
After a long while, she finally spoke softly:
"Misfortune turns into fortune."

Dusk was falling. freewebnøvel.com
Today's Sword Trial Assembly had come to a close.
There were also many exciting duels later, such as Senior Brother Shen Yunfei breaking through his Realm during the battle, and Senior Sister Xu Zhiqing advancing her Sword Qi further.
Senior Brother Ouyang... Senior Brother Ouyang didn't even make an appearance.
He drew the latest chapter of "the overbearing female emperor falls in love with me" on the spot and ran to the bookstore to print more copies.
It was already hard to get a copy before, and now the new chapter would likely sell out completely.
After all, what was most memorable at the Martial Arts Summit was still the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One; this scene was too shocking.
No one had ever used a sword with such grandeur.
It was estimated that for a long time, it would become the topic of conversation in the Jianghu of Yunzhou after meals.
"Li Shaoxia will definitely ascend the Sword Tower now."
"I heard that the Hengyun Sword Scar was left by an Immortal, and it is incredibly miraculous and profound. The higher one's talent, the better the martial arts one comprehends from it."
"Hiss..... I wonder what world-shaking martial art Li Shaoxia will comprehend from it?"
"Hmph hmph, Li Shaoxia is a Sword Saint Reincarnation! Isn't it easy for him to comprehend a sword Dao Supreme martial art?"
"Sword Saint? Sword Immortal!"
"I have exclusive first-hand news: that Hengyun Sword Scar was very likely carved out by Li Shaoxia with a casual sword stroke in his previous life! I'm telling you, but you absolutely must not tell anyone else!"
"Hiss! I am famously tight-lipped!"
"Brother, I have exclusive first-hand news....."
......
As everyone knows.
Those who wander the Jianghu like to brag to show that their knowledge is extraordinary.
This led to Xiao Li not only becoming famous but also the rumors becoming increasingly outlandish.
In the carriage.
"Junior Brother Li, I've sparred all day and plan to find a medical clinic to get some Medicinal Pills for Qi recovery and healing. I won't be returning with you all," Shen Yunfei said, lifting the carriage curtain.
"Senior Brother, you must take care of yourself."
Li Mo smiled, curling his lips:
"By the way, how did you know about my Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One at the Martial Arts Summit?"
Shen Yunfei: "......"
It was hard to imagine that the dignified and peerless Junior Brother Li from earlier was the same person.
He laughed, dumbfounded:
"When Junior Brother Li comprehends the sword before the Hengyun Sword Scar, he might even cause a greater stir."
"When I'm healed, I'll come to spar with you too, Junior Brother."
Shen Yunfei finished speaking, cupped his hands, and left.
Comprehending the sword?
Li Mo was stunned for a moment.
Beside him, Ying Bing spoke softly:
"This is also why Hengyun Sword City stands strong."
"Those who participate in the Sword Trial can ascend the Sword Tower. Upon reaching the peak, one can behold the Sword Scar."
"The martial arts comprehended can be taken away, but a copy must be left in Sword City."
In this way, a Genius is indebted to Sword City.
And they can also comprehend the Sword Scar with the help of others.
"Comprehending the sword from the Sword Scar...."
Xiao Li, who had been carried away by his success, calmed down and fell into deep thought.
With his sword Dao talent, what would he comprehend?
Emmmmmm
Oh no.
I haven't been a swordsman for long; my persona isn't going to collapse already, is it?
