Directly to the Source

Before these four lines of text, Yi Yun sat down cross-legged.

The old man sent me here, probably to see these four lines of text.

This ancient tomb is now empty. The swords, treasures, and heirlooms that may have been buried here are all gone, leaving only the handwriting left by the tomb's original owner.

These mere thirty-two characters exude a sharp and domineering aura, leaving a lasting impression!

"Hmm? This character..."

As Yi Yun gazed at the four lines of text for a long time, he discovered that they contained an indescribable artistic conception. Every character, every stroke, was like a flash of sword light, seemingly about to break through the wall! It was as if the characters themselves were an interpretation of swordsmanship!

Upon realizing this, Yi Yun focused his mind, staring intently at the four sentences.

Each of the thirty-two characters has a different meaning, but when put together, they give people a feeling of completeness and perfection.

"I understand!" Yi Yun's eyes lit up. "The person who carved these words has expressed the essence of the swordsmanship he has come to understand throughout his life through these thirty-two characters!"

"These words, though not incantations for swordsmanship, are superior to any incantation for swordsmanship!"

The meaning behind the thirty-two characters was beyond Yi Yun's comprehension. He could only roughly grasp and ponder them, but his level of understanding was far inferior to that of the person who carved the characters. Even though Yi Yun's comprehension was extraordinary, he could only comprehend very little.

"That's really profound..."

Yi Yun frowned; the four lines of text were like four sets of sword techniques.

Each set of sword techniques contains profound principles of the sword, and for Yi Yun in his current state to comprehend them all is nothing short of a pipe dream.

In fact, the old man who brought Yi Yun here didn't expect Yi Yun to comprehend much.

However, even grasping just a tiny fraction of this profound truth would be immensely beneficial to Yi Yun!

Martial arts, the way of martial arts, is about cultivating a great path.

This path is the principle and law. If you can point directly to the Great Way and the origin from the very beginning, even if the path is difficult and arduous, as long as you persevere, once you understand it, you will soar to great heights and achieve extraordinary success!

Of course, someone without a certain level of talent would never dare to take such a difficult path.

The path is too difficult, and there is no achievement or breakthrough in a long time. By then, the body will be old and frail, the potential will be exhausted, and the person will die of old age without even being able to break through to Human Race Hegemon. What's the point of cultivating martial arts then?

"This old man really thinks highly of me..."

Yi Yun muttered to himself. This ancient tomb is a secret place. One day is spent there, and one Glory Points. There's no guarantee that one will figure anything out. Ordinary people simply can't afford to play this game.

It's estimated that in each cohort, only people like Qin Haotian and Luo Huo'er will have a chance to get in!

"I must have been the only one to enter this ancient tomb. I wonder what Qin Haotian and the others have figured out?"

Yi Yun didn't believe that the old man could see at a glance that he was a person who would become a sage in the future. Most likely, he was just selecting some people he thought were outstanding to test the waters in the ancient tomb.

Those who can grasp the essence of this, may remain here.

If you can't understand it, then you have to give up.

As Yi Yun was thinking this, a thought suddenly struck him. He focused his spiritual power on the Heavenly Eye Bead and connected it to the Purple Crystal, thus activating his Energy Vision!

Nowadays, Yi Yun's Energy Vision is already very complete. All things in the world within his Energy Vision are composed of energy, transcending appearances and reaching the source!

Viewing these characters from Energy Vision was a sudden inspiration of Yi Yun.

"Hmm? This is..."

Yi Yun's breath hitched slightly. When ordinary people carve words on a rock, the words are just words, a mark on the rock.
