He Wanling's face was full of resentment. He stepped forward again, grasped the White Jade Sword, and began to comprehend it.
About an incense stick's time later, He Wanling was once again repelled by the Sword Intent.
This time, he failed again!
What!?
Those around were utterly astonished. The fact that He Wanling had failed twice was simply outrageous!
Seeing He Wanling's increasingly serious expression, they gradually began to realize that something was wrong.
This Sword Intent... is definitely extraordinary, otherwise it's impossible that even He Wanling couldn't comprehend it.
Soon, He Wanling had already tried five times.
But he failed all five times. The closest he came was when he had grasped Ninety Percent Sword Intent, but unfortunately, he still failed in the end.
He continued to try, but each time he could only grasp about 90% of the Sword Intent before he could no longer make any further progress.
Hateful!
He Wanling's face was extremely ugly, and a crack appeared in his proud heart.
If this Sword Intent were extremely powerful, he wouldn't act this way, but this is clearly the Sword Intent that Earth Immortal realm should possess.
But why couldn't he figure it out? Why couldn't he even understand the Sword Intent of Earth Immortal realm?
He Wanling clenched his fists. He knew that he would have a hard time succeeding because once he had figured out 90% of it, the difficulty would change dramatically.
Those Sword Intent were beyond his comprehension.
The white-haired Old Man spoke softly, "Young master, you are already very skilled. As you probably know, every realm of Sword Dao has its limits, which we Sword Cultivator call the Sword Dao Extreme Realm."
"To comprehend the essence of this White Jade Sword, one needs to reach the Earth Immortal realm Sword Dao Extreme Realm."
Upon hearing this, He Wanling's expression changed.
I see!
It actually requires the Sword Dao Extreme Realm!
But then he fell into deep thought.
In the eyes of many Sword Cultivators, the Sword Dao does not require the Extreme Realm, but only the Great Achievement.
Because the Extreme Realm is very difficult to break through, it is impossible to reach that realm without spending a lot of time.
If he had tried to comprehend the Sword Dao Extreme Realm at the Earth Immortal realm, he might only be at the Heavenly Immortal realm now. And if one is at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, one still needs to comprehend the Sword Dao Extreme Realm.
It's unknown how many more years it will take to break through to the True Immortal Realm.
In the path of Sword Dao, the Sword Dao Extreme Realm almost exclusively belongs to true Sword Dao Genius. Ordinary people are simply not qualified to comprehend it unless they spend a great deal of time, and even then, they may not be able to achieve it.
Yet He Wanling truly felt the terrifying power contained within this Sword Intent.
If he could comprehend the Sword Dao Extreme Realm, his strength would definitely be even greater.
For a moment, He Wanling was somewhat dazed, unsure whether giving up on comprehending the Sword Dao Extreme Realm was the right or wrong decision.
But if you don't give up, you'll be left far behind by those inside.
If he had comprehended the Sword Dao Extreme Realm while still in the Earth Immortal realm, the others in the sect would have left him far behind.
But undeniably, for both going fast and going far, a thicker build-up is definitely better.
He Wanling looked at the white-haired Old Man, then cupped his hands and asked, "Sir, I have a question."
Everyone around was startled by what they saw.
He Wanling's actions also revealed to everyone the extraordinary nature of the white-haired Old Man.
The white-haired Old Man smiled and nodded, "Please speak."
He Wanling immediately spoke up, "Is it really necessary for us to comprehend the Sword Dao Extreme Realm?"
Everyone who gathered around held their breath and strained to hear this.
This is something that even He Wanling humbly sought answers to, and it might even be helpful to their Cultivation Level.
The white-haired Old Man did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought. Past a long while, he slowly spoke:
"The difference between Sword Dao Great Accomplishment and Extreme Realm is just a tiny bit. You should understand how significant that tiny gap is."
"Do you seek the Sword Dao Perfection, to elevate Sword Dao to its ultimate form, or do you merely wish for the sword to become your weapon, to help you kill your enemies, a tool for slaughter?"
Upon hearing this, He Wanling's eyes widened immediately.
He finally realized where the problem lay.
Love and exploit.
This is the obvious difference. The reason why he felt that his master's sword was not as pure as the Sword Intent in the White Jade Sword was because he was not as pure.
In his master's eyes, the sword was merely a weapon for attack, and the same was true for him.
However, the Sword Intent within this White Jade Sword was incredibly pure; it was a pure way of the Sword Dao.
This... is what Sword Cultivator should be like!
"Bang!"
In an instant, He Wanling's aura suddenly surged, and his entire being became incredibly sharp. His cultivation level and Sword Intent did not improve.
But the overall impression it gives to others is completely different.
Taking a deep breath, He Wanling bowed to the white-haired Old Man and said, "Thank you for your guidance."
The white-haired Old Man laughed loudly, "Haha, young master, there's no need for such formalities. Your awakening wasn't due to my guidance, but rather your own."
"If one has no Heart of Seeking the Dao, how can one discover one's own problems? If one has the Heart of Seeking the Dao, the problems will be discovered sooner or later."
Upon hearing this, He Wanling fell into deep thought. He did not speak again, but instead fell into a deep silence.
After a while, he bowed to the white-haired Old Man again, and then prepared to turn and leave.
Upon returning to his sect, he will Certain engage in seclusion to comprehend the Sword Dao Extreme Realm and pursue the finest swordsmanship.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw a figure walking towards the White Jade Sword.
He Wanling paused, turning his head to look with a hint of curiosity.
Su Chen walked to the table and said with a faint smile, "Can I try now?"
The young man in charge of reception immediately said, "Please."
When the white-haired Old Man saw that Su Chen still wanted to try, he shook his head helplessly, then closed his eyes and stopped paying attention.
Upon seeing this, the people around squealed like pigs.
"Damn, that kid's still here?"
"He Wanling couldn't comprehend it after trying, and this weakling of his own still wants to? It's truly wishful thinking."
"He doesn't even seem to be Sword Cultivator to me. I really don't know why he's here. He's just a show-off, too concerned about saving face."
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. It's okay, just treat it as a joke."
Sarcastic remarks rang out, and many people looked at Su Chen with mocking eyes.
He Wanling had just finished comprehending the truth when he ran out and started jumping around.
What, does he think he's stronger than He Wanling in the art of Sword Dao?
He Wanling frowned as well. Even he couldn't comprehend it; others who wanted to try should at least consider whether they had the ability.
Besides, as others have said, one needs at least the Sword Dao Extreme Realm to comprehend it.
Su Chen's Cultivation Level were weak, and he lacked Sword Intent, so he could not possibly be Sword Cultivator, let alone reach the Sword Dao Extreme Realm.
He's just a clown.
He snorted coldly and turned to leave.
But as soon as he turned his head, a surge of Sword Intent shot straight into the sky and exploded behind him.
He Wanling's pupils shrank instantly. "What!"
