Protagonist:

Yu Changsheng

The Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit's thoughts were very simple; in his heart, Master Cao Jinxian was the most important, as for everything else, it was secondary.

And Yu Changsheng, although he was Cao Jinxian's Junior Brother, if he were to easily obtain the inheritance because of this, it was also impossible for the Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit; if Yu Changsheng's talent was not recognized by him, even the Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit would have quite a bit of opinion against Yu Changsheng's side.

After all, as a loyal sword spirit, in the Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit's cognition, Cao Jinxian was sacred and inviolable, high above; therefore, whether Yu Changsheng was qualified enough to become his Junior Brother was still up for consideration.

These thoughts coiled one by one in the Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit's mind, but on the surface he still had a smiling appearance; after thinking for a bit, he said unhurriedly: "Of course, no matter what, you are my Master's Junior Brother; if you have the qualifications and talent for the inheritance, I won't be stingy either. To obtain the inheritance, you need to undergo three layers of tests."

The Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit glanced at Yu Changsheng, continued:

"Don't say I don't take care of you; you have the chance to withdraw from the test at any time, just tell me. However, if you do that, even if you haven't failed the trial, the inheritance will have nothing to do with you."

"In previous trials, once they started, there was no chance to withdraw halfway; either pass or perish. Trash and the weak also had no qualifications to make me waste words, so at least you don't need to worry about the safety aspect."

When the Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit said this, his eyes didn't slant, his tone was bland, his words very natural, as if in his cognition this was the most normal thing.

"Is that so..."

Yu Changsheng heard this, was stunned for a moment, his expression also hesitated and struggled a bit; after a long while, he nodded lightly.

As for being able to guarantee the trial had no danger, that counted as not bad too; although from the start Yu Changsheng deliberately exposed his relationship with Cao Jinxian, Yu Changsheng truly wasn't naive enough to think that with this layer of relationship, the Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit would willingly hand the inheritance to him.

The current result was also not bad; as for the rest, Yu Changsheng didn't dare ask for more.

After all, according to the Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit, previous trial-takers, if they failed, the results seemed to all be not good.

"If that's the case..." Yu Changsheng pondered a moment, waved his hand, expression respectful as he said in a low voice to the Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit, "Senior, if convenient, that child who came in with me, I also hope you can show some leniency..."

The Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit looked at Yu Changsheng, seemed a bit surprised, eyebrows raised slightly, nodded and said: "You mean that spirit body who came with you? His state is special, you need not worry; even if an accident occurs in the trial, it doesn't count as perishing. You'd better worry more about yourself."

The Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit spoke casually; in the depths of his eyes, a trace of gloomy light flashed and vanished.

"That's good then."

Yu Changsheng let out a long breath, his heart settled slightly; for the purple child, he more or less still wanted to take care of him a bit; hearing the Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit say this, he immediately felt much more at ease.

"If you're ready, the trial begins now."

The Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit casually glanced at Yu Changsheng, spoke blandly.

"Mm." Yu Changsheng nodded lightly.

"The entire trial is divided into three layers; this first layer tests your comprehension and Sword Path talent; you should also know, your Senior Brother is an absolute genius dual cultivating the Sword Path and Beast Taming Path; then this inheritance naturally also relates to the Sword Path; you must be prepared."

"Speaking honestly, I'm not optimistic about you; because on you, I only sensed Beast Taming fluctuations, not a trace of Sword Path shadow. If you can't hold on midway through the trial, remember to tell me."

The Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit finished speaking, a pair of eyes full of sharpness watching Yu Changsheng, waiting for Yu Changsheng's answer.

"Alright, then I'll trouble Senior for guidance."

Yu Changsheng's attitude was placed very well, very respectful and gentle, making people unable to pick faults, and also no arrogance because he regarded himself as Cao Jinxian's Junior Brother; this point, the Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit was very satisfied with.

Thus secretly nodding, the Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit floated up, lightly waved; that Sui Xian Sword inserted in the earth lightly trembled, hummed resonantly, erupted with boundless Sword Intent; the entire space rippled for it, layer upon layer of ripples spread, the sky full of stars flickered non-stop, a terrifying Will suddenly descended.

Thus, above the Tian Qiong, one Sword Shadow after another emerged, dense and numerous, slanting across the Tian Qiong; the sky full of Sword Light obscured the starlight; Sword Intent soared to the heavens; Sword Shadows swayed, sweeping out one Sword Trace after another, like tails of light; power self-contained yet darkly containing profundity.

"This layer of trial is called Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Ancestors; every Sword Shadow here, the damage they cause you is real and solid; pay attention to these Sword Shadows' trajectories and Sword Intent, carefully comprehend; hidden within is a Sword Decision Technique; for every part of the Sword Decision Technique you comprehend, you'll be able to control the corresponding part of the Sword Shadows."

"These Sword Shadows' attacks will grow larger as time passes; so you need to comprehend the Sword Art within in the shortest time possible, temper your Sword Intent."

"Ultimately, when you can control sixty percent of the Sword Shadows among them — forget it, I'll lower the requirements for you; you only need to control half of the Sword Shadows among them, then this gate counts as you passing."

The Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit's voice suddenly became ethereal, resonating throughout the entire space like the Hong Lu Da Zhong; standing amidst the sky full of Sword Shadows, like the King of Swords, expression composed and indifferent, lowering his head to look at Yu Changsheng, speaking blandly.

"Understood? Any doubts? If not, the trial begins now."

Yu Changsheng's brows slightly knitted, raised his head to look at these sky full of Sword Shadows, all hanging straight from the Tian Qiong, Sword Tips pointing at him, cold light shooting in four directions; a single one erupting with might was nothing remarkable, but combined together erupting with power made Yu Changsheng have to be on full guard, secretly shocked.

And these Sword Shadows' numbers, dense and numerous, feared not less than ten thousand.

"Wanting to control half among them, that's five thousand Sword Shadows; this difficulty requirement isn't low..."

Deeply exhaled a breath, confirmed all his own states were at peak, Yu Changsheng cupped fists toward the Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit, nodded and said: "Junior understood, many thanks Senior."

"Good."

The Sui Xian Sword's sword spirit deeply looked at Yu Changsheng once, eyes seeming to hold deep meaning; then lightly waved hand; in an instant, the constantly brewing Sword Shadows completely erupted; Sword Intent released outward; terrifying pressure at this moment erupted without the slightest concealment.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

One Sword Shadow after another transformed into startling Long Rainbows, broke through speed limits, like a Sword Meteor Shower falling down, carrying unmatched momentum; moreover following specific trajectories, they stabbed down toward Yu Changsheng.

Sword Shadows like stars, Sword Intent like rainbows, Void trembled; the sky full of Sword Shadows joined with each other, like the performance of a vast symphony spanning heaven and earth; taken individually each entity had no pattern, yet cooperating with each other they formed a magnificent movement, momentum like a rainbow.

And this Sword Art Technique was hidden beneath this movement.

This movement kept changing, rising and falling dramatically, while at times erupting with Killing Intent, world-shaking divine weapons, carrying bone-chilling pressure as they arrived; expanding from a single point into a vast plane.

Countless Sword Shadows fell and spiraled, one after another fiercely arriving at Yu Changsheng.

"Divine Light Body-Piercing Heavenly Decision!" Yu Changsheng low roared, piercing golden light erupted, transformed into a golden Cloak hanging on his body; his whole body's skin, even more, was hazy within a layer of golden sand, forming envelopment and protection.

Fleshly Power, fully erupted; Divine Light Body-Piercing Heavenly Decision, as the Yang Family's supreme secret art for enhancing the fleshly body, its power was naturally astonishing; many times it had also helped Yu Changsheng turn the tide.

Under the Divine Light Body-Piercing Heavenly Decision's enhancement, whether it was Yu Changsheng's fleshly body strength, power, or defense, recovery all obtained a large degree of increase.

But this wasn't over; after the Divine Light Body-Piercing Heavenly Decision, Yu Changsheng's eyes slightly closed; when they opened again, a terrifying aura gathered and scattered erupting from his body.

"Thousand Mountains Decision, Thousand Mountain Armor!"

Thunder! Layer upon layer of heavy armor bodies like earth and stone covered Yu Changsheng's whole body; earth power surged continuously; the Divine Light Body-Piercing Heavenly Cloak fluttered in the wind; at this moment Yu Changsheng, momentum like a rainbow; his already Golden Core Peak fleshly body once again reached an inconceivable degree.

Thousand Mountains Decision, with Yu Changsheng's realm continuously rising, had already somewhat failed to keep up with Yu Changsheng's needs; but fortunately Yu Changsheng's familiarity with this technique was high; used in conjunction with the Divine Light Body-Piercing Heavenly Decision, it could still form not a small effect.

Body draped in Heavenly Cloak, shoulders bearing Thousand Mountain Armor; fusing with each other, Fleshly Power fully erupted; under the sky full of Sword Shadows, Yu Changsheng's body unmoving like a mountain; Qi and blood transformed into a heavy surging Sea; one Sword Shadow after another fell, yet only left faint white marks on his armor, instantly recovering as before.

"Such a tyrannical fleshly body..."

Under the Sword Spirit of the Sui Xian Sword's indifferent gaze, it watched Yu Zhangsheng's every move closely; upon seeing this, its pupils shrank slightly, somewhat surprised.

"However, this is only the beginning; its power is less than one-tenth. Even if your physical body is astonishing and you can occupy some advantage, this trial ultimately tests your comprehension and Sword Path talent."

The Sword Spirit of the Sui Xian Sword smiled inwardly, shook its head slightly, and muttered to itself.

"And you, someone who has never touched the Sword Path, how could you pass? Master's inheritance is a fusion of the Sword Path and Beast Taming; even if I wanted to give you just one of them alone, it's impossible..."

"Good luck. If you can pass, I will naturally give you a great gift."

The Sword Spirit of the Sui Xian Sword sighed softly in its heart, then cast aside these miscellaneous thoughts and focused on presiding over the trial.

Sword Light surged like a flood; Sword Falls like meteors. Beneath the meteors was Yu Zhangsheng's mountain-like, sea-like body, standing firm amidst the storm of Sword Shadows—silently enduring without a sound, while carefully comprehending, fully focused.

"These sword techniques are too damn chaotic."

Chaotic Sword Shadows flowed one after another; each emitted astonishing Sword Intent, and some had unique trajectories. Combined, they revealed something.

Yu Zhangsheng furrowed his brow. He could vaguely sense something, but always fell just short—like a layer of window paper separating him, yet he could not pierce it.

"If I had known, I would have contacted some sword techniques earlier..."

"Never mind. Since I haven't touched them, I'll observe to the extreme; surely I can find some clues... I only need a few clues, and that will be enough..."

Yu Zhangsheng had a headache. He muttered in his heart, exhaled a long breath, his gaze suddenly sharpened. A vast Divine Sense power, centered on Yu Zhangsheng, exploded with a boom! His Sea of Consciousness surged. This Divine Sense, though its intensity had not reached the astonishing Lawless level, was like an ocean, covering the Vast One, embracing all rivers, containing everything.

"This Divine Sense... has also reached Golden Core Peak..."

The Sword Spirit of the Sui Xian Sword sensed all this, its pupils shrinking once again. It looked at Yu Zhangsheng, his brows and eyes slightly tense.

"Golden Core Peak physical body and Divine Sense, plus your age—I can feel your Cultivation Base could step into Golden Core at any time... so, that's not bad..."

"Interesting. Master's Junior Brother is not bad."

After the Sword Spirit of the Sui Xian Sword exhaled lightly, it smiled faintly. In the depths of its gaze, the meaning grew richer.

"In that case, for this trial, even if you ultimately fail to control fifty percent of the Sword Shadows, I am not unwilling to let you pass. I'll give you a chance. How far can you go..."

These thoughts flashed through the Sword Spirit of the Sui Xian Sword's mind in an instant, and thus its interest grew stronger.

On the Other Side, Sword Shadows fell like rainbows one after another. Even with Yu Zhangsheng's physical body, he felt obvious pressure.

The harm it caused Yu Zhangsheng had already penetrated layer upon layer of defense to reach his physical body, causing a sharp pain.

Actually, the Sword Spirit of the Sui Xian Sword was right. With the passage of time, this Sword Intent, whether in attack frequency or attack force, had clearly become much heavier.

Fortunately, under the Divine Sense's all-out explosion, every move of this sky-full of Sword Shadows, every bit of Sword Intent and Sword Light that exploded, clearly and endlessly appeared in Yu Zhangsheng's mind.

"Disassemble, analyze, feel..."

Sword Shadows were constantly crushed and separated by Yu Zhangsheng. Bit by bit, details were exposed clearly at a glance. Relying on this extreme observation, even though Yu Zhangsheng had never touched sword techniques, he still grasped a bit.

Sword Shadows flashed brilliantly; Sword Lights raged. Falling upon Yu Zhangsheng's body at the same time, they also made it more convenient for Yu Zhangsheng to observe.

Thus, amidst a blur, a vague Sword Intent was captured. Within Yu Zhangsheng's Sea of Consciousness, naturally, these Sword Shadows were arranged in order, floating uncertainly. A sword technique vaguely took shape...

"Startling Wild Goose Falling Sword..."

At this moment, Yu Zhangsheng was completely immersed in the Sword Shadows. The pain beneath his physical body was ignored by his subconscious. Only the technique within these Sword Shadows became increasingly clear.

The sword emerged like a rainbow. Thus, it seemed a Startling Wild Goose Falling Sword truly appeared, flashing across his vision. Looking closely, he discovered it was a sword.

"Startling Wild Goose Falling..."

Yu Zhangsheng was lost in ecstasy. Suddenly, it was as if a certain window paper was completely broken... (Chapter End)
