Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Triggering a Heavenly Phenomenon
Mo Cheng, feeling bored, also sat down next to Ji Chen.
"Buzz..."
Soon, Ji Chen entered into a state, releasing his divine thought, enveloping the stone sword in front, attempting to establish some sort of communication with it.
This is a process of comprehension, allowing oneself to enter a special state through telekinesis.
This is the so-called Telekinesis Field.
At this moment, Ji Chen’s telekinesis seemed to escape into nothingness, manifesting as a Divine Thought Body.
Now, his Divine Thought Body was situated in the Telekinesis Field, a space of blank whiteness, with nothing but the stone sword in front of him.
Such a scene also surprised Ji Chen, he hadn’t expected he could receive a response from the stone sword so effortlessly.
For normally, this is the first step in comprehending the laws and it is also the most difficult step.
For the vast majority of cultivators, let alone successfully comprehending it, even getting their Divine Thought Body into the Telekinesis Field is a formidable task, comparable to a tribulation.
But now, Ji Chen had only just released his divine thought and already received a response from the stone sword, smoothly entering the Telekinesis Field, able to formally comprehend the laws within the stone sword, completely beyond his expectations.
However, Ji Chen was not overly excited.
Because he was well aware that having his Divine Thought Body enter the Telekinesis Field is just the first step, the truly difficult part is the comprehension process, with a significant gap towards success.
...
Time passed, during Ji Chen’s period of comprehension, on Star Sword Peak, many cultivators were coming and going.
After long periods of fruitless comprehension, many could only shake their heads, leaving regretfully, unwilling to waste too much time here.
After all, besides Star Sword Peak, Kunlun had also opened two other Cultivation Secret Realms for a limited time today, and they all wanted to try their luck there.
"It’s really too difficult, even when comprehending Earth Tier Martial Techniques, I could quickly enter the state of telekinesis, but comprehending the laws is more than ten times harder!" said a disciple from some Desolate Ancient family.
Before attempting comprehension, he was full of confidence, but now, only helplessness and sighs remained on his face.
Only after truly attempting can one understand how profound the laws are. If one wants to comprehend this power, talent is just a small part, luck and opportunity are crucial!
"Otherwise, why would people say that anyone who could comprehend a law would at least become a dominant figure in a region, founding a sect would be no problem." someone said.
"Let’s go, let’s see the other two places, maybe if we’re lucky, the opportunity will come!"
Speaking in this way, some people were leaving, and others were coming from elsewhere.
The place was busy, with only Ji Chen sitting quietly in his original place, eyes closed, not waking up once.
And not far from him, Mo Cheng had long given up, sitting there bored, quietly waiting for Ji Chen, not daring to disturb him.
"It’s almost noon..."
No one knew how long had passed, Mo Cheng glanced at the sky, muttering to himself, "In about half an hour, the inheritance ceremony will officially begin, how long this has been... could it be that Brother Ji is asleep?"
Saying so, he finally couldn’t hold back, wanting to step forward and wake Ji Chen up.
"Buzz..."
Yet suddenly, just as Mo Cheng got up, the space seemed to tremble slightly.
The stone sword in the crowd’s midst began to tremble, the amplitude of this trembling grew stronger with time, until finally, it seemed like the entire Star Sword Peak was shaking.
"What’s happening?"
Many cultivators who were in the midst of attempting comprehension were all startled awake, scanning the surroundings, wanting to know what happened.
"Buzz!"
The stone sword shook, the vast sword momentum becoming much more astonishing than usual, as if a Sword Venerable who had been sleeping here was about to awaken.
Everyone’s hearts were filled with unexplainable astonishment and fear, and under the suppression of this vast sword momentum, their breathing also became much heavier, as if a giant stone was pressing on their chest, making it hard to breathe.
"Boom!"
Finally, a muffled sound erupted, and then, only to see the stone sword burst forth with divine light, with a crystalline sword light shooting out from within, soaring straight into the sky, seemingly splitting the heavens and earth in two, severing this part of the cosmos.
The next moment, the divine light pierced the clouds, pouring down like a pillar of light, descending on Star Sword Peak.
Such a scene already drew the attention of many within Kunlun.
Especially those older generation powerhouses, when they saw the divine light descending, their eyes were filled with unparalleled astonishment.
"This is... the aura of the laws!"
"What a vast sword momentum!"
"That’s the direction of Star Sword Peak, what’s happening? Could it be that someone comprehended the Sword Technique?!"
Discussions like these immediately arose throughout Kunlun, at the same time, a massive number of figures were moving, all rushing towards the direction of Star Sword Peak, wanting to see what was happening.
"Who is this person? To have caused such a heavenly phenomenon, what happened?"
Soon, Star Sword Peak was teeming with people, countless cultivators gathered, looking around, only to see in front of the stone sword, a figure in white clothes sitting cross-legged with closed eyes.
In the sky, the descending divine light enveloped Ji Chen.
Everyone could feel an extreme Sword Dao aura pervading the area, and this aura was emanating from Ji Chen!
"Ji Chen!"
Among the crowd, a young woman was also drawn over by what was happening here.
She wore a white long dress, with red gauze on her brows, extremely beautiful.
The woman was none other than Liu Qingcheng from the Purple Cloud Sect!
As the current strongest sect in the Profound Domain, the Purple Cloud Sect naturally sent people to observe this Kunlun Inheritance Ceremony.
And Liu Qingcheng had a very good relationship with Qu Luoning, so she had no reason not to come.
Lately, Ji Chen had broken through to the Returning Ruins Realm in Bicheng, stirring the Nine Dragon True Tribulation, and with the Nine Veins, became famous worldwide.
This news Liu Qingcheng was naturally aware of.
At first, her first reaction was that this Ji Chen was not the same Ji Chen she knew, most likely just the same name.
But later, as the news spread completely, information about Ji Chen’s background and identity became known to all, only then did Liu Qingcheng realize that the unparalleled prodigy with Nine Spirit Veins who survived the Nine Dragon True Tribulation in Bicheng was the same Young Sect Leader she once broke off an engagement with!
When she learned of this, her heart was greatly shocked, finding it incredibly unbelievable.
Recalling the scene when she went to break off the engagement, the superior attitude she showed in front of Ji Chen, Liu Qingcheng felt extremely embarrassed.
The four Spirit Veins she once took pride in now seem so laughable and insignificant in front of Ji Chen.
