Perhaps Some Sect Has a Supreme Way of the Sword Genius-New Book, Please Support It in Every Way

Taiyue Sword Sect.

Below Sword Comprehension Cliff.

As a clap of thunder rang out, countless disciples turned their eyes toward it.

Below Sword Comprehension Cliff, five young disciples sat cross-legged.

These five disciples were outstanding figures among Taiyue Sword Sect's inner disciples, possessing exceptionally high talent in the Way of the Sword.

It was precisely because of these five disciples that the Taiyue Sect Leader had called in favors to invite Daoist Siji to leave behind a Sword Mark for them to properly comprehend the Sword Intent within.

Now, a full month had passed, and at last, someone had comprehended Daoist Siji's Sword Intent.

It was a young man who looked no older than twenty. Dressed in white robes, he sat cross-legged on the ground, with a longsword before him that actually began to hum.

Not only that, but sword phantoms emerged behind him one after another.

"He got it, he got it."

"Senior Brother Xu Heng really got it."

"Hiss, has he attained enlightenment?"

"Heavens, Senior Brother Xu Heng truly deserves his reputation as one of Qingzhou's famous sword dao geniuses. In just one year, he used a single Sword Mark to comprehend the Spring Thunder Sword Technique from the Four Thunder Sword Technique to great completion and perfection."

"I'm so envious, so envious."

"When Daoist Siji left this Sword Mark, he said that even a sword dao genius would need ten years to comprehend any one sword technique of the Four Thunder Sword Technique to Peak Attainment. Senior Brother Xu Heng spent only a year comprehending the Spring Thunder Sword Technique to great completion and perfection. The remaining three probably won't even take three years."

"Senior Brother Xu Heng is already hailed as one of the Top Ten Sword Dao Geniuses of Qingzhou. With talent like this, all we can do is look up at him."

"Stop talking. The more you talk, the more sour I get."

"It looks like Senior Brother Xu will contend for the Top Ten at this Qingzhou Sword Dao Convention."

"The Top Ten? I'll give you another chance to reorganize your words. At the very least, the top three."

"One year to comprehend the Spring Thunder Sword Technique to great completion and perfection—is this what a sword dao genius is?"

Within the Taiyue Sword Sect, the disciples discussed animatedly, every pair of eyes brimming with envy.

On Sword Comprehension Cliff stood seven or eight elderly men.

They were the elders of the Taiyue Sword Sect.

One of them wore an utterly irrepressible smile.

"Senior Brother Mingjian truly had a discerning eye. In merely a month, your disciple has already suddenly comprehended Senior Daoist Siji's Sword Intent. What a cause for celebration."

An elder spoke up to congratulate Elder Mingjian, the elder in the crowd whose smile was the broadest.

"Hahaha, not at all, not at all. He has merely comprehended it to great completion and perfection; it is nothing worth mentioning. This Sword Mark left by Senior Daoist Siji contains his Sword Intent. He has only comprehended the Spring Thunder Sword Technique to great completion and perfection, nothing worth mentioning, nothing worth mentioning."

Elder Mingjian spoke with great modesty, yet the smile on his face contained not the slightest trace of modesty.

"Senior Brother Mingjian is too modest."

"Indeed, Senior Brother Mingjian is too modest. Your disciple's attainments in the Way of the Sword are extraordinary, surpassing even the number one inner disciple. I think Xu Heng may have a chance to claim first place at this Qingzhou Sword Dao Convention."

Another elder stroked his beard and praised him.

But very soon, a cold snort rang out.

"Qingzhou is a place where crouching tigers and hidden dragons abound. Not to mention the Four Thunder Sword Sect and the Baiyun Daoist Gate, there are tens of thousands of sects large and small throughout Qingzhou alone. Isn't it far too early to speak of first place?"

The speaker was an elderly man whose expression and tone carried a hint of disdain.

In an instant, Elder Mingjian's expression darkened slightly.

This man was his rival—when they were young, and even now. They had fought each other for a lifetime.

Yet his disciple had not comprehended Sword Intent, so naturally he was somewhat displeased.

Elder Mingjian glanced at him.

However, he did not get angry. Instead, he smiled.

"Elder Chen Yu is right as well. Qingzhou may indeed be a place where crouching tigers and hidden dragons abound. Perhaps some small sect has a peerless sword dao genius who can casually look at a Sword Mark and suddenly comprehend it to Peak Attainment within a dozen days or so. My useless disciple certainly isn't qualified to take first place in Qingzhou's Way of the Sword."

Elder Mingjian spoke in a mocking, barbed tone.

The elders' expressions shifted slightly.

They immediately understood that Elder Mingjian was making a sarcastic jab.

Casually looking at a Sword Mark and suddenly comprehending it to Peak Attainment?

Let alone Qingzhou—even in the Jin Kingdom, no such person existed. Broaden the scope further, and the Ten Kingdoms could not produce such a genius.

What kind of person would that have to be?

Even a reincarnated Sword Immortal could not manage it, could they?

Daoist Siji was Qingzhou's foremost powerhouse in the Way of the Sword. He had already reached the Nascent Soul Realm and condensed Supreme Sword Intent. Even true sword dao geniuses would need several years to comprehend all the sword techniques within a Sword Mark he had carved.

And casually drawing a Sword Mark, then comprehending it to Peak Attainment?

If that was not sarcasm, then what was?

After hearing this, Elder Chen Yu could not help revealing anger.

But with so many juniors present, he could not vent his anger lest he lose face.

"Senior Brothers, do not quarrel. No matter whose disciple possesses greater talent, it is a good thing for our Taiyue Sword Sect."

"However, first place in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Convention is indeed somewhat exaggerated. The Four Thunder Sword Sect has, after all, produced a genius. But the Sect Leader has issued an order this time: no matter what, we must fight for a place in the Top Ten."

"Do you all know why?"

At that moment, another elderly man spoke.

In an instant, all the elders became curious. They truly did not know why.

In every previous Qingzhou Sword Dao Convention, the Taiyue Sword Sect had achieved fairly good results, but the Sect Leader seemed to value this one immensely. He had even invited Daoist Siji to carve a Sword Mark, which was rather strange.

Sensing everyone's curiosity.

The man slowly spoke.

"Those who place in the Top Ten this time will receive one Tai Xuan Sword Pagoda Token each. Do you understand now?"

He said this.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

"A Tai Xuan Sword Pagoda Token?"

"Hiss! Has the Tai Xuan Sword Pagoda opened again?"

"It is actually a Tai Xuan Sword Pagoda Token. No wonder the Sect Leader went to such lengths to invite Senior Daoist Siji. So that was the reason."

The elders were shaken.

They knew what the Tai Xuan Sword Pagoda represented.

It was an ancient treasure of the Ten Kingdoms of the Southern Domain.

Legend had it that it was forged by a Sword Immortal.

Within it lay a Sword Immortal's inheritance, as well as a Sword Immortal's insights. Any disciple who followed the Way of the Sword would surely gain something upon entering the Tai Xuan Sword Pagoda.

The sword pagoda had Eighty-One Layers, with a Gatekeeper on every level. The higher one advanced, the greater the rewards one received.

To enter the sword pagoda, one had to possess a Tai Xuan Sword Pagoda Token.

Naturally, Tai Xuan Sword Pagoda Tokens were exceedingly precious.

Yet they had never expected Tai Xuan Sword Pagoda Tokens to be distributed to the Top Ten of the Qingzhou Sword Dao Convention. This truly was an immense surprise.

"That is right. The Tai Xuan Sword Pagoda has activated once more. This time, Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Ancient Tokens have been issued. Qingzhou has received ten, and it has ultimately been decided that these ten Ancient Tokens will be awarded to the Top Ten of the Sword Dao Convention. Therefore, Senior Brothers, during this period, you must teach your disciples well."

"Do not let them truly be taken away by a disciple from some small sect. If that happens, it would be rather humiliating."

The man said with a chuckle.

Everyone smiled calmly as well.

Yet they all understood that such a thing was almost impossible.

The reason great sects were great sects was not merely because their inheritances were powerful, but more importantly because their resources were abundant.

Even if a small sect happened to pick up a peerless genius, what could it do?

Could someone truly comprehend hundreds of Sword Intents from a single Sword Mark so casually?

No way, no way—could anyone truly believe that peerless sword dao geniuses existed in this world?
