Translator: 549690339

Hearing Zhong Yun mention that to fully comprehend the Sword Tower’s eighteen layers, one needed three Sword Hearts.

Zhu Chenhui and Sun Ze were silent for a moment.

In the past, their Tiandou Academy’s founding master had condensed a single Sword Heart and reached the sixteenth layer of the Sword Tower, and had asserted that if one could condense two Sword Hearts, they would be able to reach the seventeenth layer.

If one wished to fully comprehend all eighteen layers of the Sword Tower, they must possess three Sword Hearts.

And now, Yang Xiaotian had only two Sword Hearts.

Sun Ze changed the subject and said, “I wonder how long Yang Xiaotian will take to comprehend the third layer.”

Zhu Chenhui pondered and replied, “Based on the speed at which Yang Xiaotian comprehended the first and second layers, he should be able to comprehend the third layer by tomorrow.”

Tomorrow, that is, in twenty-four hours, to fully comprehend the first three layers of the Sword Tower!

Just the thought made Zhu Chenhui’s heart race wildly.

This time, Zhong Yun and Sun Ze remained silent.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotian was sitting in the formation seat of the third layer of the Sword Tower, his gaze falling on the Sword Wall of the third layer.

The Sword Wall of the third layer depicted three swordsmen wielding their swords.

The three swordsmen, each performing their swordsmanship simultaneously, undoubtedly made comprehending this layer much more difficult than the second.

Just like that, many students of Tiandou Academy could comprehend the first and second layers, but a good number were unable to comprehend the third.

Before Yang Xiaotian’s eyes, the Sword Wall slowly began to change.

However, this time, the three sword-wielding swordsmen did not leap out from the Sword Wall.

In a trance, Yang Xiaotian found himself in a vast expanse of heaven and earth.

Within this vast expanse, the three swordsmen were clashing with each other.

Each move and each form by the three are distinctive.

One’s swordsmanship was fierce, another’s was agile, and another’s was ever-changing.

Their sword strikes were extremely fast, faster by a few degrees than the first and second layers.

Dazzling to the eye.

After exchanging blows for a while, suddenly their swordsmanship and the aura of their blades changed; the one whose swordsmanship had been fierce now adopted an agile style, while the one who had been agile turned fierce beyond compare, and the one whose swordsmanship had been ever-changing suddenly simplified it, as natural as the profound simplicity of a great path.

Yang Xiaotian concentrated fully, paying close attention to the changes in the three swordsmen’s techniques.

An hour later, when the three stopped, Yang Xiaotian’s spirit withdrew from the world of the Sword Wall, and he closed his eyes to recall the variations in the swordsmen’s techniques he had just witnessed.

Despite having seen it only once, he had nonetheless committed to memory all their swordsmanship moves and forms.

He then started to review it a second and third time.

By the time Yang Xiaotian had watched it for the fourth time, he had almost completely comprehended the variations in the sword techniques of the three swordsmen, only missing the last piece to integrate them thoroughly.

The fifth time.

Finally, he fully integrated and understood the sword techniques of the three swordsmen!

When Yang Xiaotian had thoroughly comprehended the Sword Wall of the third layer, it was already dusk, and once more, the Sword Tower shook, the Sword Qi surged forth, and the majestic presence of the sword descended.

Within the Sword Tower, all the students who were comprehending the sword felt the imposing aura of the sword and were horror-struck, to the point of turning pale with fright, some students even prostrated themselves before the sword’s majesty had even descended upon them.

He Qingzhe, who had just entered the state of sword enlightenment on the fourteenth level, was similarly terrified, his face turning pale, like a wounded fierce beast, he roared furiously and circulated his Divine’s Techniques crazily, but in the blink of an eye, he was blasted to the ground by the sword’s majesty.

At that moment, Zhong Yun, Xie Hong, Fan Riquan, and others were cultivating in their respective courtyards; feeling the power from the Sword Tower, they all turned in surprise, and when they looked toward the Sword Tower, they were stupefied.

The setting sun cast its glow on the Sword Tower, which was spewing forth sword energies, creating a scene of spectacular beauty, a vision that would forever be etched in the minds of the onlookers.

Many years later, when Yang Xiaotian had become the Supreme God, they were still unable to forget that scene.

It wasn’t long before Zhong Yun, Xie Hong, and others learned that Yang Xiaotian had comprehended the third level and condensed the third Sword Heart.

“Three Sword Hearts,” Zhong Yun sighed faintly, then used a secret technique to summon a masked man in black, and said with a grave voice, “Kill Yang Xiaotian!”

“Strike when he enters the fourth level for the Sword Wall Enlightenment!”

“Dig his heart out intact and bring it back to me!”

A heart that had condensed three Sword Hearts was an invaluable treasure.

A short while later, the masked man in black vanished with a flash.

Zhong Yun’s eyes were cold and stern. When Yang Xiaotian was comprehending the Sword Wall, his mind and spirit would be wholly focused on it, at which time an assassination would surely be successful.

Furthermore, the academy had never anticipated that someone would kill Yang Xiaotian inside the Sword Tower.

“Yang Xiaotian, once you enter the fourth level, you are certain to die!”

News of Yang Xiaotian condensing three Sword Hearts spread quickly, boiling over the entire Tiandou Academy.

Condensing two Sword Hearts was already unique in the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, so what about three Sword Hearts?

However, after Yang Xiaotian had comprehended the third level of the Sword Tower, he did not continue to comprehend the fourth level but instead left the Sword Tower.

It was now dark outside, and he needed to go back to practice Alchemy and cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art.

He would return the next day to continue his enlightenment.

After all, comprehending the Sword Tower wasn’t something that could be achieved overnight.

After returning to his residence, Liu An had already purchased a batch of slaves from the slave market, all of them within the Innate Realm, a total of twenty people.

These Innate Realm slaves had good foundations and talents.

Yang Xiaotian instructed Liu An to take these slaves down for training, then he started the furnace to refine the Endless Life Pill—the Azure Thunder Python had been swallowing excellent Endless Life Pills every day for cultivation and healing, and he had already used up all the pills.

Now, he needed to ensure an ample supply of excellent Endless Life Pills to accelerate the healing of the Azure Thunder Python’s injuries.

The news of him comprehending the Sword Tower and condensing three Sword Hearts quickly spread to the surrounding countries, and soon, there would be many who wished for his death.

After practicing Alchemy for a while, Yang Xiaotian swallowed an excellent Nine Suns Longevity Pill and started cultivating the Primordial Dragon Art.

He cultivated throughout the night.

The next day, Yang Xiaotian went to the academy and met with Fan Riquan, inquiring about the Sword Tower, “What do you know about the Sword Tower, Senior Fan?”

Fan Riquan pondered and said, “The Sword Tower should be an artifact left by a Sword God.”

“A Sword God!” Yang Xiaotian was astonished.

In the entire Azure God Continent, very few could be called a Sword God. He hadn’t expected that the Sword Tower was actually left by a Sword God.

Fan Riquan nodded, “Each layer of the Sword Tower contains a Swordsmanship Ultimate Divine Power. The higher you go, the stronger the Divine Power. On the seventeenth level, it should be one of the top ten Supreme Divine Powers.”

“As for the last level, it should contain the Heavenly Sword and its swordsmanship.”

“Of course, it could also be a Divine Sword.”

Yang Xiaotian was greatly moved. Fan Riquan was unlikely to speak without basis. Since he mentioned that the eighteenth level contained the Heavenly Sword or a Divine Sword, the possibility was extremely high.

Fan Riquan spoke earnestly to Yang Xiaotian, “Xiaotian, you have an excellent talent, but one must not rush in the path of cultivation, especially at the Martial King Realm. You must lay a solid foundation and not rush to break through to the Martial Ancestor Realm.”

“The more robust your foundation in the Martial King Realm, the more and stronger the Supreme Divine Powers you cultivate, and when you break through to the Martial Ancestor Realm, the stronger the Golden Core you will be able to condense!”

He then took out a booklet and handed it to Yang Xiaotian, “I have a book here describing the Golden Core, you might want to read it.”
