Chapter 208: Famous in Heavenly Mystery (Fourth Update)

~15 min read 2,851 words

"Okay."

Li Hao was also a bit curious about this legendary strange stone.

Everyone heard their conversation. When Lu Chunsheng took Li Hao forward, many disciples subconsciously stepped aside, their eyes full of curiosity.

The rules of the Heavenly Shadow Stele had nothing to do with cultivation, mainly depending on comprehension.

And the youth in front of him was famous in the world, with the first cultivation speed in a thousand years. They also wanted to see how big the gap between his comprehension and theirs could be.

Sometimes fast cultivation does not mean high comprehension.

After all, below the Heavenly Human Realm, as long as the resources are in place, you can improve rapidly.

If you don't consider the foundation problem, you can even take a lot of medicine and improve a thousand li a day.

And stepping into the Heavenly Human Realm, besides looking at comprehension, also involves a bit of luck.

Some people watch falling leaves once, scoop up a handful of water, and quietly have an epiphany.

Some people gallop across the world, challenge major sects, are covered in scars, but stop at that heavenly gate.

"These one hundred Heavenly Shadow Steles record the cultivation technique realms of all disciples of our Heavenly Mystery Tower for thousands of years."

Lu Chunsheng said with a smile: "When the cultivation technique you display exceeds the level of the shadow left on the stele, the Dao rhyme of the Heavenly Shadow Stele will automatically leave your cultivation technique level on the stele, replacing the original residual shadow. This is the Heavenly Stele Shadow."

Li Hao nodded. He knew all this.

It was just that hearing about it was not as good as seeing it. When he approached this pitch-black stone stele, Li Hao felt that it was covered with rich heaven and earth energy, as well as a mysterious and elusive rhyme.

"Our disciples can only watch the shadow ten times for each stele. If they cannot leave a shadow after ten times, they will not be allowed to watch the stele again."

Lu Chunsheng smiled: "The number of times watching the stele, and whether they can leave a shadow, is the measure of aptitude and comprehension."

"Interesting."

Li Hao said.

Seeing Li Hao moved, Lu Chunsheng's mouth hooked. He knew that geniuses could not resist this kind of competition.

"Young General, with your aptitude and sword skills, I suggest you can choose that Heavenly Shadow Stele."

Lu Chunsheng pointed to a Heavenly Shadow Stele not far away for Li Hao.

Everyone looked over and whispered.

"It's the Heavenly Shadow Stele left by Senior Brother Kong ten years ago."

"The difficulty of that Heavenly Shadow Stele is ranked 82nd. Are you going to challenge such a difficult one right away?"

"It's difficult for us, but it might not be for him. I think he will succeed in leaving a shadow within three times!"

"Three times? It's hard to say. I think five times should be about the same. After all, he can suppress all the Grandmasters in the world. His aptitude and comprehension are by no means comparable to ours."

Everyone whispered, looking at Li Hao with some expectation.

In the crowd, Tang Zhixi also stared. That 82nd-ranked Senior Brother Kong's Heavenly Shadow Stele was more difficult than the 93rd-ranked Heavenly Shadow Stele she had just broken.

Could the youth in front of her do it in three times?

She pursed her lips slightly, her eyes fixed on the youth.

"Okay."

Li Hao looked at it and walked to the Heavenly Shadow Stele.

After looking carefully, following Lu Chunsheng's voice transmission, Li Hao pressed his palm on the Heavenly Shadow Stele, and then released his aura.

Soon, the Heavenly Shadow Stele seemed to be activated, and flowing light and divine color appeared on it.

At the same time, a figure stood in the stele. It was a young man holding a long sword, suddenly slashing over.

But this young man was just a shadow and did not have an attack. At this moment, under the waving, he displayed a sharp sword move.

To leave a shadow on the stele, one needs to leave the same sword move of the other party, and display it more exquisitely, in order to leave a shadow.

If you change to other sword techniques, it won't work. Therefore, countless people have come here to test their aptitude and comprehension.

Soon, the young man finished practicing.

Halfway through the practice, Li Hao received a panel prompt and recorded the sword technique he was practicing.

"This place can actually record sword techniques, and it seems not to be the sword technique of the Heavenly Mystery Tower..."

Li Hao's eyes were a bit bright.

Doesn't this mean that these hundred Heavenly Shadow Steles are a hundred cultivation techniques?!

At this time, the young man on the Heavenly Shadow Stele finished practicing, and his figure dimmed and disappeared.

Li Hao also came back to his senses. He absorbed the many messages passed from the panel, looked at the "Lanyue Wanhua Sword Technique" pushed to perfection on the back, and the "True State" level behind it, and then savored the sword moves the young man had just displayed again.

It seemed to be just the perfection level.

This was an Upper Grade sword technique.

Watching the shadow ten times, needing to contemplate it and practice it to the perfection level, is indeed extremely testing of comprehension. The difficulty is no less than studying for only one year and passing the imperial examination.

Most people watch the stele for the first time, rote memorizing, remembering all the sword moves left by the shadow, and then practicing by themselves, going to challenge again after half a year or a year.

Repeatedly.

Ten times of watching the stele, the cycle might be more than ten years.

"The shadow has disappeared. I wonder if he has entered the door?"

"Entering the door is not difficult. I can do it too. If you can't enter the door after watching the stele once, then what kind of genius are you?"

"That's right. However, Senior Brother Kong's sword technique is at the perfection level. The higher the realm, the harder it is to see the traces, and it is more difficult to imitate, making it harder to practice."

Everyone discussed in low voices.

Li Hao looked around for a while, saw a tree in the distance, and raised his hand to summon a dead branch.

Subsequently, he swung the dead branch in his hand, and the Lanyue Wanhua Sword was displayed.

It seemed that a bright moon appeared, being picked up by the sword light in his hand. Around him, countless sword energies, like flowers, were colorful and floating, but every sword flower carried sharp sword energy and could not be touched.

Soon, a sword was finished.

Light fluctuated on the Heavenly Shadow Stele. Subsequently, in the pitch-black Dao Stele, Li Hao's figure dancing with the sword just now appeared.

The original young man's shadow was covered and wiped out.

Lu Chunsheng was stunned, his pupils contracting slightly.

He knew Li Hao better, and originally hoped that Li Hao could leave a shadow after watching the stele twice, which would not only preserve Li Hao's genius reputation but also get Li Hao's shadow stele. He didn't expect that the other party would leave a shadow after watching the stele only once.

Moreover, the sword technique Li Hao just displayed had visions, and it was at the True State level of the cultivation technique!

From perfection, skipping the Ultimate Layer, reaching the True State in one step?

Just watching the shadow once, could he do this?

Lu Chunsheng suddenly felt that he knew too little about this youth, not even peeking at the tip of the iceberg.

He even suspected whether Li Hao had practiced this sword technique in advance.

Otherwise, even when the three Sword Saints were young, being able to practice an Upper Grade sword technique to the perfection level after watching it once was enough to be terrifying, but compared to Li Hao, it was like a firefly and the bright moon!

This youth's sword Dao aptitude was more terrifying than the Sword Saint!

Lu Chunsheng's thoughts fluctuated, and light flickered in his eyes.

And the other numerous Heavenly Mystery Tower disciples were stunned on the spot.

They expected three times, five times, but they didn't expect that Li Hao would leave a shadow once.

And the level of that sword technique derived visions, which exceeded the cognition of many of them. Only a very small part knew the True State, the highest cultivation technique level!

"One glance at True State..."

Among the disciples, a few muttered to themselves, their eyes a bit dull.

At this time, Li Hao took the dead branch and returned to the Heavenly Shadow Stele at the edge of the dojo. According to the previous sequence, this should be the 100th sequence, the last Heavenly Shadow Stele.

This ranking was mostly determined by this General Tower Lord according to the difficulty of the cultivation techniques in the stele.

Practice makes perfect. Li Hao raised his hand and wiped it on the Dao Stele, and soon activated the shadow.

But this shadow was a saber technique.

Seeing this, Li Hao skipped it directly and turned to move to the 99th sequence Heavenly Shadow Stele beside him.

Although with his sword technique realm, he could also simulate that saber technique and leave a shadow on the stele, there was no need for this.

This 99th sequence Heavenly Shadow Stele was a fist technique.

Li Hao showed a smile, and soon, the panel recorded it.

After the shadow disappeared, Li Hao also swung a punch, and visions appeared.

True State level.

Soon, his figure was imprinted on the Heavenly Shadow Stele.

Li Hao then headed toward other Heavenly Shadow Steles.

Activating more than a dozen Heavenly Shadow Steles in a row, including the 93rd-ranked Heavenly Shadow Stele of Tang Zhixi, which had just been activated and hadn't been warmed up yet.

The woman's shadow on it was wiped out. This was an Upper Grade sword technique, and it was also at the perfection level, but this sword technique was easier to practice and master.

With the True State sword technique practiced and displayed, the shadow was directly replaced.

When Li Hao went to activate the 70-something sequence Heavenly Shadow Stele, Lu Chunsheng reacted, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said to Li Hao: "Young General, what are you doing?"

"I'll try to see which ones I can comprehend," Li Hao smiled.

Lu Chunsheng was stunned, looking at the Heavenly Shadow Steles that were replaced one after another, among which only a part was skipped directly by Li Hao.

He suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

In the crowd, Tang Zhixi looked at the youth's figure blankly. She had spent half a year studying and practicing the perfection level sword technique, but the other party replaced it after just one look.

Moreover, True State and perfection were too far apart.

Is this really something a human can do?

She also noticed a detail: when she was practicing the sword technique, the youth was even looking around, seeming a bit impatient...

At this moment, her brain was just buzzing, and many thoughts were chaotic.

On the dojo, the mood of the other Heavenly Mystery Tower disciples was similar to Tang Zhixi's. At first, it was shock, but later, they were all like having a duck egg stuffed in their mouths, stunned, unable to speak.

Such a terrifying scene, they didn't even dare to dream of it.

Numerous Heavenly Shadow Steles, some shadows had just appeared, but were skipped by Li Hao. But those Li Hao stopped to watch were all left in one go, and they were all True State!

They were full and satisfied, but didn't dare to have such a beautiful dream.

Too exaggerated.

Is this still a human?!

As Li Hao continued to move forward, soon, Li Hao entered the top thirty Heavenly Shadow Stele sequences.

Lu Chunsheng was also full of shock. He had never seen such a shocking thing in thousands of years, and didn't even dare to think about it.

But soon, he suddenly realized a serious problem and woke up completely.

Li Hao left shadows on so many Heavenly Shadow Steles, and pushed the cultivation techniques on them to the True State level.

Then who else could leave a shadow in the future?

Watch the stele ten times? True State?

I'm afraid they will be scolded!

Don't talk about ten times, even one hundred times is impossible.

True State, ah, many people haven't even heard of this cultivation technique level.

Those noble children only understood the Ultimate Layer, which was already the peak of skills.

True State, even for those with extremely high talent, it takes decades of dedicated practice to achieve it.

For those with average aptitude, it might be difficult for hundreds of years!

"Young General, Young General!"

Lu Chunsheng looked at Li Hao who was continuing to activate the Heavenly Shadow Stele, feeling a heart-pounding sensation. If Li Hao were to ruin all these Heavenly Shadow Steles, wouldn't these Heavenly Shadow Steles be useless in the future!

This was one of the important heritages of the Heavenly Mystery Tower for thousands of years!

"Hmm?"

Li Hao was called, and looked at Lu Chunsheng.

Lu Chunsheng hurriedly said: "Young General, I know your comprehension is peerless, but these Heavenly Shadow Steles, should we leave some?"

Speaking of this, there was a trace of embarrassment in his eyes, but his heart was already extremely regretful.

If he had known this, he should have pulled Li Hao to continue playing the zither.

Earlier, he was thinking about letting Li Hao leave a shadow, and as a result, Li Hao really left it.

But he left too many!

"Leave some?"

Li Hao frowned, and soon understood the other party's meaning.

Seeing Li Hao frown, Lu Chunsheng hurriedly said: "You can try the Heavenly Shadow Stele ranked first, the one at the very top. Leaving a shadow on it is enough to prove your comprehension."

Li Hao was a bit helpless. He was not trying to prove his comprehension, just recording cultivation techniques.

"Okay."

Li Hao agreed, and said: "But I want to activate these and see, is that okay?"

"Just activating, that's no problem." Seeing Li Hao agree, Lu Chunsheng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly agreed.

Seeing this, Li Hao immediately activated these Heavenly Shadow Steles again.

Soon, more than thirty Heavenly Shadow Steles were all activated by Li Hao, one-third of which could be recorded by him.

Finally, Li Hao came to the Heavenly Shadow Stele standing on the top of the mountain, which was the largest in volume.

Other Heavenly Shadow Steles were only two or three zhang, but this Heavenly Shadow Stele was a full dozen zhang. Even with the magnificent and spectacular waterfall scenery like the Milky Way beside it, this Heavenly Shadow Stele was extremely conspicuous.

Li Hao raised his hand to activate it, and a sword-holding figure appeared on it.

Li Hao took a look, raised his eyebrows slightly. He was actually a bit familiar with this person. It was that Sword Saint in the Sword Hut, Jian Wudao.

But the shadow was in middle age.

Hair was dark, short hair, unlike the elegant white hair now.

But the facial features didn't change much. After all, the current Jian Wudao had a rosy complexion and no wrinkles.

"At that time, Jian Wudao came to challenge me, wanting me to agree to a request of his. He wanted to try this Heavenly Shadow Stele, but I lost and could only agree."

Lu Chunsheng came to Li Hao's side and sighed: "At that time, we were still young. Although he exceeded the age limit, I still allowed him."

"He watched the stele seven times, contemplated for three years in total, and practiced this sword technique to the perfection level. For more than a hundred years, no one has been able to break it."

Li Hao's eyes flickered.

Contemplating for three years to practice the sword technique to the perfection level, this was indeed extremely high comprehension.

No wonder he could become a Sword Saint.

Moreover, at that time, Jian Wudao was not yet a Sword Saint, but only in his middle age, and his sword Dao realm was far from what it is now.

"Want to wipe it out? I can help."

Li Hao heard the emotion vaguely revealed in Lu Chunsheng's words, which seemed to be unable to let go of this matter.

Although he didn't know what happened at that time, it didn't seem to be very pleasant.

Hearing Li Hao's words, Lu Chunsheng was slightly startled:

"You have confidence? This is an ancient and incomplete sword technique. Just one and a half moves are already at the level of a top-tier sword technique!"

"Oh?"

Li Hao's eyes brightened slightly, and he became interested. ===== CHAPTER 209 =====
