Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Sword Law
"Ji Brother!"
As Ji Chen was about to step forward and head towards Kunlun, suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind him.
Ji Chen was momentarily stunned and turned to look, finding that the person coming was surprisingly Mo Cheng.
"Haha, I said we are destined to meet, and here we are again," Mo Cheng said with a smile, walking toward Ji Chen and lightly punching Ji Chen’s chest, like old acquaintances meeting again.
Ji Chen had gotten used to his forwardness over the past few days and didn’t bother to respond, not even wanting to converse with him, and continued toward Kunlun.
"This is Kunlun; it’s much better than I imagined. Today is my first visit too."
They smoothly entered Kunlun, with Mo Cheng following Ji Chen while glancing around curiously at everything.
Since Emperor Ye’s era, Kunlun has only been accepting female disciples. Since then, very few male cultivators have been able to enter Kunlun.
Even as the Young Master of the Desolate Ancient Emperor Race, Mo Cheng was visiting for the first time.
"It’s said there are several cultivation secret realms within Kunlun, and today they will be open to outsiders for a limited time. Mo Brother, why don’t we take a look?" he suddenly suggested.
Ji Chen clearly didn’t want to hang out with this son of a noble family, as it draws too much attention. He said, "Why don’t you go find your sister instead of following me?"
"Why should I find my sister? Nowadays, she’s likely with a few Fairies of Kunlun. Why would I go as a man? Besides, aren’t we friends?" Mo Cheng replied.
"The Gu Family Dao Body has arrived!"
As they walked to a square, numerous cultivators gathered here, and suddenly a commotion arose ahead, catching Ji Chen’s attention.
Looking over, Gu Hao appeared. As the Young Master of the Desolate Ancient Gu Family and possessing a Dao Body, he naturally became the focus of the crowd, surrounded by many people in the center.
Gu Hao was long accustomed to this.
His gaze looked over from afar and he saw Ji Chen, first stunned, then slightly nodded as a greeting.
Ji Chen clasped his fists in response from afar.
The two did not interact further nor engaged in conversation and instead walked off heading in their respective directions.
"Who is that person?"
Gu Hao’s greeting to Ji Chen naturally drew the attention of many present.
Watching Ji Chen’s departing figure, a wave of confusion surfaced on the faces of many in the square.
Clearly, to be treated with such respect by the Gu Family Dao Body, the other party surely was someone noteworthy.
"It’s Ji Chen! He also came to Kunlun!"
"Oh? Is he the one who passed the Nine Dragon True Tribulation in the Bicheng of Cloud Domain, the one with Nine Spirit Veins?"
"Unfortunately, his Spiritual Sea was damaged by the Path’s wound, and he won’t live past a year. Such a monster, truly a pity..."
Some discussed, as Ji Chen’s name had become a hot topic for many recently.
After all, having Nine Spirit Veins is truly astounding; it’s impossible not to attract attention.
"In front, there’s Sword Momentum that pierces the sky; could it be a Sword Dao expert in a competition?"
Reaching a rear mountain, Ji Chen’s gaze looked far ahead, sensing a powerful Sword Momentum emanating from not far in a particular direction, incredibly stunning.
"Why not go and check it out?" Mo Cheng suggested, who had been following Ji Chen and feeling curious about the remarkable Sword Momentum as well.
Without words, they quickly moved towards the rear mountain.
"So many people?"
In no time, they arrived at a flat area. Looking around, Ji Chen found many cultivators gathered here.
At the center of this flatland stood a giant Stone Sword, emanating an impressive Sword Momentum Pressure. The atmosphere Ji Chen and Mo Cheng felt earlier likely came from this Stone Sword.
"This should be the legendary ’Star Sword Peak,’ one of Kunlun’s three major cultivation secret realms. This Sword Momentum is indeed extraordinary; it’s said the Stone Sword seals a strand of Sword Intent Law from the second generation Kunlun Saint Master, and if comprehended, it would be a great ace!"
Besides Ji Chen and Mo Cheng, many cultivators had been drawn by the Sword Momentum. An elder spoke.
Although there are countless laws in the world, each one is different, and the Sword Law is one of them.
The so-called Sword Law, in fact, is what people call Sword Intent.
This intangible thing is too illusory, to comprehend it relates little to talent, more reliant on opportunity.
Among the myriad laws, the Sword Law is undoubtedly one of the rarest.
Compared to other laws, the Sword Law is noticeably harder to comprehend. Throughout history, those who truly grasped the Sword Law are exceedingly rare.
Laws are the expression of the great truths of heaven and earth, containing profound truths of the Way.
This special power, once comprehended, can become a significant trump card in combat.
As with Sword Law, it’s said the second-generation Kunlun Saint Master once comprehended this power of law, sweeping Beiyou with his sword, invincible, renowned as the contemporary Sword Venerable.
Apart from Sword Law, there are also Rain Law, Thunder Law, etc...
Any power of a law is extremely difficult to comprehend. In the Desolate Ancient Era, it may not have been uncommon for cultivators to grasp the power of law, but in today’s depleted environment, those who possess the power of law are exceedingly rare.
It’s said that anyone who comprehends any kind of power of law will achieve great things in the future.
However, for most cultivators, laws are always unattainable, as even among millions, there may not be one who comprehends the power of law.
At the moment, many cultivators were sitting cross-legged around the Stone Sword, trying to comprehend the Sword Law within it.
After all, such an opportunity is rare. As one of Kunlun’s three major cultivation secret realms, typically only Kunlun disciples can come here to comprehend it. Now, with the commencement of the heritage ceremony, Star Sword Peak is only open for a day.
"Want to give it a try?" Mo Cheng asked, seeing that Ji Chen seemed to have the intention of moving forward to comprehend.
"This rare opportunity shouldn’t be missed," Ji Chen nodded, without hesitation.
With those words, he stepped forward, finding a relatively spacious spot in front of the Stone Sword and immediately sat down cross-legged with his eyes closed.
