Chapter 65: This Trial Won

Within the sword array.

Called a sword array, but this place looks more like an independent world.

This world is formed by countless forces of the Sword Dao.

This is truly a world of swords.

As soon as Luo Fu entered this world, he appeared at its core.

This is also the only safe place in this world.

Around him, countless terrifying forces of the Sword Dao raged.

Each thread of Sword Dao force could slay a Taiyi Jin Xian, yet here, these Sword Dao forces converged into an ocean.

Even if a Da Luo Jinxian were to witness this sight, their scalp would likely go numb.

As for Taiyi Jin Xian, if they left this safe core, they could not even endure a single breath before being swallowed by this ocean of Sword Dao.

Yet now, Luo Fu had only just broken through to Jin Xian.

If Luo Fu were to recklessly step into this ocean of Sword Dao with his current power, he would be instantly slashed and obliterated.

Of course, if he truly encountered such a situation, Luo Fu estimated his teacher, Saint Tongtian, would not stand idly by.

But if that happened,

Luo Fu would not be considered to have passed the trial.

In that case, Luo Fu's ambition to unravel all of Tongtian Jiaozhu's Dao paths would become empty words.

For many Primordial World geniuses, cultivating multiple Dao paths was merely a waste of time.

But unquestionably,

Cultivating multiple paths offered advantages in accumulating one's own foundation.

The more Dao paths one cultivated, the stronger one's power would be at the same realm.

Yet the more Dao paths one pursued, the harder it became to break through to the subsequent realm.

Thus, how many Dao paths to cultivate depended on one's own choice.

Even a single Dao path could allow one to become a Pretender Saint in the Primordial World.

Some Primordial World geniuses, if they cultivated multiple paths, might stall outright at Golden Immortal or Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Because those geniuses never imagined how difficult future cultivation would be.

Many once-arrogant geniuses and prodigies vanished before the eyes of the world beneath the river of time.

Some perished in battles with powerful foes.

Others could never break through, their talent exhausted.

Those geniuses were no longer geniuses.

Thus, multiple Dao paths were truly a double-edged sword.

Advantageous, yet dangerous.

Therefore, for Luo Fu, passing this trial from his teacher was something he absolutely must accomplish.

"It seems impossible to forcibly break out of this world using power alone," Luo Fu gazed at the world of swords before him.

Unless his power broke through to Taiyi Golden Immortal, perhaps he could still smash through this Sword Dao World by brute force.

But now, Luo Fu's power was only Jin Xian.

Even if he possessed maxed-out comprehension and cultivated at an astonishing speed, he could not possibly break through from Golden Immortal to Taiyi Golden Immortal in such a short time.

Power accumulation and the cultivation path both required time.

Previously, Luo Fu had broken through from Xuan Xian to Jin Xian in a short span.

On one hand, it was due to past accumulation; on the other, Xuan Xian was an early-stage realm.

The difficulty of its accumulation and breakthrough was far simpler than that of Jin Xian.

If Luo Fu had been a Golden Immortal back then, he could never have broken directly from Golden Immortal to Taiyi Golden Immortal within days.

"To break out of this Sword Dao World, the Sword Dao knowledge my teacher just gave me is the key," Luo Fu murmured. "Break out within ten days?"

"Then let's try," Luo Fu chuckled softly.

He immediately sat cross-legged, closed his eyes slightly, and his mind absorbed and collided with the Sword Dao knowledge.

One could say,

The Sword Dao knowledge Saint Tongtian imparted was merely the related Sword Dao system—it did not directly reveal how to dismantle this Sword Dao World.

The cultivator had to combine and synthesize these Sword Dao teachings to ultimately create and discover the method to break through.

This was the true difficulty of this trial.

Several hours later,

Threads of Sword Dao energy, like living beings, wound around Luo Fu's body.

"Hummm…"

Under the influence of Luo Fu's Sword Qi,

Part of the previously violent Sword Dao forces outside the core suddenly grew calm.

"Success."

Luo Fu opened his pupils, and an extremely terrifying Sword Intent shot forth from his eyes.

Under this terrifying Sword Intent,

Even some Xuan Xian cultivators would likely be obliterated by the intent alone.

"This Sword Dao World, though a world, is primarily constructed from a unique system of Sword Dao laws," Luo Fu said gravely. "Thus, if I grasp the Sword Dao laws of this world, I can leave it."

Correct.

This Sword Dao World was composed of numerous Sword Dao laws.

In the Primordial World, if a being breaks through to the Jin Xian realm, they can wield the power of cosmic laws.

This allows cultivators to unleash dozens, even greater, times the power of a single unit of force.

Jin Xian is the watershed on the cultivation path of beings in the Primordial World.

Many beings limit their cultivation path to the Mystic Immortal Realm.

Mystic Immortal, and even realms before it, are the limits ordinary beings can reach.

But Jin Xian, and even higher realms, are breakthroughs achievable only by the rarest of the rare.

Each subsequent major realm breakthrough becomes increasingly difficult.

From Golden Immortal to Taiyi Golden Immortal, success requires only sufficient accumulation.

But from Taiyi Golden Immortal to Daluo Golden Immortal, that is a realm nearly impossible to break through.

Daluo beings transcend the Five Elements, escape the flow of time, and are eternally unperishing.

That is a second transformation of soul and body.

Naturally, Luo Fu, currently only a Jin Xian, is still far from this — that is a matter for later.

If this Sword Formation World has an operator, then even if Luo Fu finds its flaw, it will be hard to destroy.

Yet after Saint Tongtian created this Sword Formation World, he still left such a flaw.

Otherwise, it would not be a trial at all.

"To leave this world, I could have done so long ago," Luo Fu murmured. "But to me, that would be fleeing."

"To destroy this world and depart from it — that is the true destruction of the Sword Formation, the completion of the trial."

"Otherwise, such a task would be far too simple."
