The Forbidden Art Graveyards surrounding the Heaven-Shattering Sword all belonged to the category of great tombs.
Of course, their numbers were not high.
Clearly, such powerful Forbidden Art Graveyards were extremely rare.
Su Fan walked toward another Forbidden Art Graveyard.
By glancing at the name of the forbidden art on the tombstone, he could roughly judge what kind of forbidden art it was.
He did not open this Forbidden Art Graveyard, choosing instead to walk toward the next one.
After checking several Forbidden Art Graveyards in succession, he found none that contained the forbidden arts he urgently needed.
Su Fan discovered that the forbidden arts buried here were not only those originally possessed by Sword God Mountain, but also those obtained from other places.
In its heyday, Sword God Mountain was known as the orthodox authority of the world's sword path, which showed just how powerful it had been.
It was not at all strange that they had seized forbidden arts from other sects.
"Huh!"
Su Fan was just about to leave this cluster of great tombs to search among the smaller Forbidden Art Graveyards elsewhere.
Suddenly, he discovered that the great tomb before him did not contain a sword-related forbidden art.
It also did not seem to be an offensive forbidden art, but rather something similar to the Mend Talent technique?
Mend Talent concerned one's natural talent, which was why that Forbidden Art Graveyard was buried directly at the entrance of the Forbidden Art Graveyard.
It allowed those who entered to discover that forbidden art at the very first moment.
And this Forbidden Art Graveyard was no smaller than the Heaven-Shattering Sword tomb, which showed its power.
"Forbidden Art, Tomb of the Heavenly Enlightenment Technique!"
Heavenly Enlightenment Technique!
Su Fan immediately thought of comprehension, and even sudden enlightenment!
His own talent was insufficient, and he had no way to learn the Heaven-Shattering Sword in a short time, but what if he improved his comprehension?
Or even achieved direct sudden enlightenment?
Wouldn't he be able to master it after a single moment of sudden enlightenment?
Although the effects of sudden enlightenment were also related to talent.
However, sudden enlightenment could often transcend the limits of talent, allowing one to grasp and comprehend techniques much faster.
Su Fan felt a faint excitement in his heart and immediately decided to open this Forbidden Art Graveyard!
The grave opened, and a three-foot jade coffin appeared.
After reading the words left on the jade coffin, he learned that this Heavenly Enlightenment Technique did not belong to Sword God Mountain, but had once belonged to a mysterious faction.
It was just that the Heavenly Enlightenment Technique consumed too much lifespan; that mysterious faction had succeeded because of the Heavenly Enlightenment Technique, and failed because of it.
After all, a moment of sudden enlightenment is a moment of pleasure, and constant sudden enlightenment is constant pleasure.
No matter how monstrous a genius was, they could not withstand such a waste of lifespan, often dying young, which eventually led to a lack of successors for that faction.
One time, they offended Sword God Mountain, and a battle broke out.
They were wiped out.
The Heavenly Enlightenment Technique then fell into the hands of Sword God Mountain.
Because of this, the strength of the disciples of Sword God Mountain took a huge leap.
But they also realized the hidden dangers of this Heavenly Enlightenment Technique, so they ruthlessly buried it here.
After Su Fan finished reading the introduction to the Heavenly Enlightenment Technique, his eyes glowed; this Heavenly Enlightenment Technique was perfectly suited for him!
A moment of sudden enlightenment is a moment of pleasure, and constant sudden enlightenment is constant pleasure!
As for lifespan or whatever, who cared?
He had an endless, inexhaustible lifespan that he could squander at will!
"Others have to practice diligently and work hard, but I can just risk my life."
Su Fan felt wonderful inside.
He opened the jade coffin and took out the Heavenly Enlightenment Technique Jade.
After memorizing the Heavenly Enlightenment Technique, Su Fan closed the grave.
"The Heavenly Enlightenment Technique is truly extraordinary!"
"No wonder it's a forbidden art; it uses life to comprehend the heavens, uses life to achieve sudden enlightenment. The consumption of lifespan is variable; the more profound the technique, the more lifespan it consumes, and the lower the talent, the more lifespan it consumes..."
The monster who created this forbidden art had died from exhausting his lifespan during a moment of sudden enlightenment.
Forbidden arts are always dangerous.
Su Fan sighed with emotion; ordinary cultivators who used the Heavenly Enlightenment Technique could not control the consumption of their lifespan.
Once they encountered a profound technique, the consumption of lifespan would be too great, and even after a single moment of sudden enlightenment... their life would be gone.
What's more, some even end up with gray hair and one foot in the grave after a single epiphany.
Once a person is old and their lifespan is nearly exhausted, what use is an epiphany?
Of course, there are also the lucky ones who break through during an epiphany, increasing their lifespan so they don't suffer too much depletion or damage their foundation.
"But for me, this isn't a life-threatening forbidden art; it's a miraculous technique for enlightenment!"
Su Fan was delighted.
He immediately began to practice the Heavenly Enlightenment Technique.
Practicing the Heavenly Enlightenment Technique is not difficult; with Su Fan's current talent, he could grasp the basics in half a day.
Moreover, this forbidden art that consumes lifespan can be continuously leveled up by burning more years once mastered.
With a lifespan so vast it can't be exhausted, he could afford to be this reckless!
"Finally mastered it!"
Half a day later.
Su Fan stood up, his eyes gleaming.
He had successfully mastered the basics of the Heavenly Enlightenment Technique.
"Next, let's test the effects of the Heavenly Enlightenment Technique and gain an epiphany on the Heaven-Shattering Sword!"
Su Fan found an open area and sat cross-legged.
He narrowed his eyes, exhaled softly, and said, "Grant me enlightenment!"
Instantly, his lifespan began to burn wildly.
And Su Fan entered a marvelous state of epiphany.
The parts of the Heaven-Shattering Sword Forbidden Art that he previously didn't understand became clear in an instant.
Immersed in the epiphany, Su Fan had only one thought.
An epiphany is satisfying for a moment, but constant epiphanies are always satisfying!
It really is too exhilarating!
No wonder once someone starts practicing the Heavenly Enlightenment Technique, they can't stop!
This pleasure is even more intense than the feeling brought by increasing one's talent!
His lifespan was burning continuously.
If there were an outsider present, they would be able to see a faint golden light shining from between Su Fan's brows at this moment.
He didn't know how much time had passed.
At a certain moment.
Su Fan opened his eyes and exhaled.
This epiphany had ended!
"My talent is still a bit lacking; after this epiphany, I've only mastered sixty percent of the Heaven-Shattering Sword."
Su Fan frowned.
While the Heavenly Enlightenment Technique is powerful, it is also inextricably linked to one's talent.
"And it actually consumed three thousand years of my lifespan!"
This single epiphany had consumed three thousand years of his life, which was nothing short of terrifying.
If it were any other cultivator, they would likely have died from exhaustion of their lifespan.
Consuming so much life is naturally related to the fact that Su Fan's current talent is too poor.
The worse the talent and the more advanced the technique being contemplated, the more terrifying the consumption of lifespan.
"Just a little more, and I can master the Heaven-Shattering Sword."
Su Fan stood up.
He walked out of the Forbidden Art Graveyard.
Another day had passed, and he was hungry.
"It's a pity that there's only fish to eat at the Cliff of Reflection and no way to store it long-term, otherwise I could bring food in and hide here to practice."
Su Fan sighed to himself.
The weather wasn't cold now, so the fish would spoil after a day.
He could only go out to catch fish when he was hungry.
"But once I break through and leave the Mortal Realm, I won't need to eat so frequently."
"With the Heavenly Enlightenment Technique, it won't be long before I can break through!"
Su Fan emerged from the cave.
He scanned the Cliff of Reflection, finding it empty and silent.
Only then did he go to catch fish to satisfy his hunger.
"Tang Duan is dead. For the time being, the other side might not know yet and is still waiting for Tang Duan's reply."
"If the time drags on, they will inevitably realize that Tang Duan has failed."
"When that happens, I fear they will send someone else to kill me."
Su Fan narrowed his eyes as he calculated.
He had to seize this window of safety to improve his strength.
Gazing out from the Cliff of Reflection, Su Fan gave a cold smile.
I will leave this place with an invincible stance; just you wait!
Just as he grabbed a fish, a faint, delicate fragrance suddenly drifted over, and before he knew it, a figure had appeared beside him!
Su Fan's expression changed!
