"No, that's impossible!"
"How could one person comprehend all fourteen Absolute Arts at the same time!?"
Only then did the Academy cultivators, who had finally come to their senses, recover—but their expressions had already descended into chaos.
Ling Yan and Zhuo Jing had their eyes wide open, utterly dumbfounded.
In one and a half hours, he had comprehended fourteen ultimate inheritance arts!?
What kind of speed was that!?
The Fourteen Absolute Arts themselves might not be anything extraordinary, but surely they couldn't be comprehended so effortlessly, could they?
"Hmph, so what?"
"They're merely the Fourteen Absolute Arts. Their rank only qualifies them as Spirit-tier inheritances. Even combined, they can't compare to a single one of the Seven Secrets!"
But soon, the Tianxuan Tower Master sneered.
She naturally couldn't let Ye Xuan slap her in the face.
Hearing this, the Academy disciples did feel considerably better.
Although comprehending the Fourteen Absolute Arts in one go was unprecedented, they ultimately still couldn't compare to the Seven Secrets!
"Disperse, disperse. There's nothing interesting here!"
The Yuheng Tower Master shook the cane in his hand and was about to call everyone away.
Should they stay here and celebrate for Ye Xuan?
Buzz!
But just as everyone was preparing to turn around and leave for the second time, the Enlightenment Platform suddenly erupted into fresh turbulence!
At that moment, the entire Enlightenment Platform, inside and out, began to thunder. Even more dazzling radiance, like rivers reversing their flow, continuously gushed from the platform.
Everyone froze, then hurriedly turned around. But in the next moment, they were all shaken to the core once again.
They saw that the fourteen ultimate-art sigils originally circling Ye Xuan seemed to have come under some kind of suppressive force, actually plummeting from midair!
And an even more dazzling sigil began to condense above Ye Xuan's head!
The Fourteen Absolute Arts had actually been suppressed simultaneously!?
For a moment, the Academy cultivators exchanged glances, their hearts sinking sharply!
It seemed that the thing they least wanted to see had still happened!
After comprehending the complete inheritance of the Fourteen Absolute Arts, Ye Xuan had actually comprehended one of the Seven Secrets as well!?
"What sigil is that? Why have I never seen it before?"
At that moment, the ever-curious Yaoguang Tower Master raised an eyebrow.
The sigil gathering above Ye Xuan's head now radiated a mysterious dark light. It was utterly unfamiliar!
"Hehe, naturally, it's the secret inheritance unique to my Tianshu Tower Master!"
Ji Xueyao folded her arms and exchanged a smile with Wan'er.
As expected, how could a mere Enlightenment Platform possibly stump her husband!?
"The Tianshu Tower's secret art!?"
The other Tower Masters exchanged glances, their hearts jolting violently.
Could the Tianshu Tower's secret art, which no one had ever comprehended, finally appear in the world today!?
If so, it would certainly shake the entire Academy once again!?
And as everyone stared in astonishment, the inheritance sigil above Ye Xuan's head finished condensing. It was none other than the three characters: "Tianshu Finger"!
"So the Tianshu Tower Master's secret inheritance is a finger technique!"
"Interesting!"
The Yaoguang Tower Master clicked his tongue in amazement.
Ye Xuan had just entered the Academy, yet he had already caused one sensation after another!
"Hmph, after one and a half hours, he's only comprehended one secret. Compared to Chu Wan'er's talent, he's not worth mentioning!"
The Tianxuan Tower Master snorted coldly, continuing to belittle Ye Xuan in an attempt to salvage the dignity of her earlier words.
But the Tianquan Tower Master pressed his lips together, his expression growing increasingly gloomy.
One had to know that Xuan Zhou of his tower had taken two hours to comprehend the Heaven Authority Sword Art—half an hour slower than Ye Xuan!
Not to mention that Ye Xuan had comprehended the Fourteen Absolute Arts at the same time!
The Tianxuan Tower Master's words sounded even more like mockery aimed at him!
"Buzz!"
But before the Tianxuan Tower Master's voice had even faded, radiance once again gushed from the Enlightenment Platform.
Sigils gathered beneath the Tianshu Finger like a streamlet!
"Hm?"
Everyone looked at one another in confusion. Even the Yaoguang Tower Master was dumbfounded.
What was going on this time?
Hadn't the Tianshu Finger already been comprehended?
Why were more sigils still condensing!?
"Wait, why does this radiance look like the Tianji Tower's Tianji Nine Breaker?"
But in the next instant, the Yaoguang Tower Master suddenly sucked in a breath and cried out.
Whoosh!
At once, everyone turned to look at the Tianji Tower Master, who had never spoken a word.
Mo Fengxing, the Tianji Tower Master, had once been a general of the Imperial Capital's imperial guards. After being wounded in battle, he had come to the Cloud Palace Academy to oversee the Tianji Tower.
His most accomplished disciple was none other than Jun Wuji, now the Cloud Palace's foremost true disciple!
Even though Chu Wan'er had just comprehended the Yaoguang Seal in only half an hour, he had paid it no mind.
That was because he knew very well that among the Seven Secrets, the Tianji Nine Breaker possessed the most overbearing power!
Moreover, this secret art had been tailor-made for Jun Wuji. In this world, only Jun Wuji could comprehend and cultivate it.
Yet now, what was gradually taking shape above Ye Xuan's head was unmistakably the Tianji Breaker!
"It is!"
Though his coarse, square face was filled with shame and unwillingness, the Tianji Tower Master still nodded coldly.
Hiss!
In an instant, cries of alarm rose and fell beneath the Enlightenment Platform.
The Tianji Nine Breaker, one of the Seven Secrets reputed to possess the greatest power, had actually been comprehended by Ye Xuan!?
One and a half hours—fourteen Absolute Arts and two Secrets!?
And they were the two secret inheritances universally acknowledged as the most difficult and most powerful?
What was Ye Xuan doing!?
At that moment, they could no longer describe the scene before them as unparalleled comprehension.
It was simply inconceivable!
By then, the many first-generation Academy disciples who had heard the commotion also came rushing over. When the Tianji Tower cultivators saw the scene before them, they nearly fainted from fright.
Xuan Zhou stood far away atop a mountain peak, unsure whether he ought to laugh or cry.
Jun Wuji had always kept him beneath him in the Academy, much to his displeasure. Yet now, Ye Xuan was also someone he was destined to kill.
"Hahaha, Mo Fengxing, it seems that from today onward, the Tianji Nine Breaker will no longer belong exclusively to your Tianji Tower!"
The Tianquan Tower Master threw back his head and laughed wildly, the black-iron greatsword strapped to his back.
All along, the Tianji Tower had relied on Jun Wuji's existence to suppress the Tianquan Tower. Even Xuan Zhou's arrival had failed to change that.
Now that he saw Ye Xuan comprehend the Tianji Nine Breaker, he instead felt a surge of delight.
The Tianji Tower Master's face turned livid, but before he could retort, a second secret-art radiance surged from the Enlightenment Platform once again!
This time, the radiance was silver, surging like a sword. After several breaths, three characters condensed above Ye Xuan's head!
"Heavenly Authority Sword!"
"The Tianquan Tower's secret art has also been comprehended by him?"
For a moment, everyone present was utterly dumbfounded!
That was already the third secret art!
In one and a half hours, what exactly was Ye Xuan trying to do!?
Some had even begun to suspect that something had gone wrong with the Enlightenment Platform.
Comprehending two great secret arts at once was already beyond belief. Comprehending three at once—was he even human?
At that moment, the Tianquan Tower Master was dumbstruck as well. He had never expected the slap in the face to come so quickly!
How could his own tower's secret art also be comprehended by Ye Xuan!?
As for the remaining Tower Masters, they could not help but grow tense.
Ye Xuan had already comprehended the Fourteen Absolute Arts and three Secrets in succession. Moreover, judging by his appearance, he showed no sign of getting up yet.
Could it be that Ye Xuan intended to continue!?
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
But just as that thought arose in everyone's minds, sigils began condensing one after another!
Tianxuan Chant!
Kaiyang Slash!
Yuheng Melody!
Yaoguang Seal!
In less than a few breaths, all seven secret arts had gathered around Ye Xuan's head. Saint Radiance arced like a rainbow, while flying waterfalls of light cascaded through the air!
In an instant, everyone beneath the Enlightenment Platform was left staring in stunned silence, and the air grew terrifyingly still!
In one and a half hours, Ye Xuan had actually assembled the Fourteen Absolute Arts and Seven Secrets!?
Forget being unprecedented— with such a record of comprehending the Dao, even the Cloud Palace Academy Master probably had never imagined that such a day would come!
"It's broken! The Enlightenment Platform must be broken!"
After standing stunned for a long while, the Tianxuan Tower Master raised her brows and suddenly shrieked.
She could not believe it, nor could she accept that Ye Xuan could comprehend every ultimate art and secret technique in such a short time!
It was absolutely impossible!
The other Tower Masters exchanged glances and nodded one after another.
The Enlightenment Platform had malfunctioned. That was the only explanation.
Otherwise, did they really have to admit that Ye Xuan's comprehension had crushed every Academy prodigy?
"Go invite Academy Master Cui to inspect it!"
The Tianxuan Academy Master turned around and shouted anxiously at her disciple.
"No need to panic. My husband hasn't finished yet!"
But Ji Ziyao, who had never spoken all this time, suddenly spoke with a smile.
"What did you say?"
"He hasn't finished?"
The Tower Masters exchanged baffled looks upon hearing this.
Ye Xuan had already gathered the Fourteen Absolute Arts and Seven Secrets.
What else could he comprehend?
"Could it be... the Unique Dao Treasure!?"
The Yaoguang Tower Master furrowed his brows slightly before tentatively speaking.
But the moment she finished, she was startled by her own words!
The Unique Dao Treasure!?
In a flash, every cultivator present once again turned their gaze toward the figure sitting cross-legged on the Enlightenment Platform.
Ye Xuan had actually comprehended the Unique Dao Treasure!?
