Chapter 1032: Return (!)
The Taiyi Sword Dao was very strong and was a top Great Dao secret technique. It was also an inheritance left behind by the master of the Realm Sea Peak. However, the other party’s comprehension of the Sword Dao was not something he could surpass at all.
Although he had created and smelted the Guardian Sword Dao, to be honest, he still did not have full confidence in defeating the elegant man. There was no sound in the hall. What responded to Shen Ping was a sword light.
This was a sword light condensed by the Taiyi Sword Dao. It looked like a sword light, but it had actually already reached the realm of Dao Life One. In Shen Ping’s vision, there were thousands of sword lights, densely packed as if they had completely transformed into a world of swords.
If it were any other longevity-level powerhouse, they would have died facing this sword light. Shen Ping immediately displayed his Guardian Sword Dao. Using the sword as a screen, it transformed into a sword beam that was like a mountain and a sea.
Boom! Instantly, sword energy shot into the sky. The condensed sword intent swept away the cold air within a radius of several thousand miles. This was still a situation that the two of them tried their best to control. If they really sparred openly, just the sword intent alone could tear the world apart.
Until all the sword lights dissipated, the elegant man stood up and turned around. He looked at Shen Ping and said, “Not bad. It seems that you have improved a little over the years and have created your own Sword Dao. However, this Sword Dao is still in its infancy. It has not even condensed the true Dao intent. Using fate to smelt other Great Daos is a good path. It even integrates your emotions.”
A smile appeared on the elegant man’s face. “Your path is not bad, but your foundation is too weak. Your comprehension of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is limited in the framework.”
Listening to these words, Shen Ping hurriedly said, “Thank you for your guidance, Senior.”
The other party was indeed right. Although his progress in the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was extremely fast, these comprehensions were all fueled by growth while relying on the virtual frame and his strange beast talent. Only he had immersed himself in Dao of Fate.
For example, the other Venerable Sovereigns, Initial Dao Realm, and Dao Origin Realm experts had all studied the Great Dao for hundreds of thousands of years, millions of years, or even a Dao era.
Although their comprehension was slow, their understanding and use of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth had indeed far exceeded Shen Ping.
The elegant man pondered for a moment. “Although you’ve walked out of your own Sword Dao, it’s impossible to rely on this Sword Dao to defeat me. I only used 40% of the power of the Sword Dao in that strike just now.”
Shen Ping’s expression changed slightly. He did not doubt the elegant man’s words.
“It’s a little difficult to defeat me in 3,000 years. Moreover, my original goal was to let you have your own understanding of the Sword Dao. Now that I think about it, you’ve indeed reached it. Come with me.”
After saying that, he walked deeper into the palace. Shen Ping hurriedly followed behind. After walking for about twenty minutes, the two of them arrived before an ancient stone stele. On the stone tablet, there were only three sword marks, and each sword mark seemed to contain the world. With just a glance, one could feel endless sword intent attacking from all directions.
“Wake up!”
He heard a voice in his ear. Shen Ping had just broken free from the world of sword marks. He was covered in cold sweat and lowered his head, not daring to look at the three sword marks on the stone tablet.
The elegant man smiled and said, “It’s been ten years since you were immersed in the sword mark. If I hadn’t woken you up, your consciousness would have stayed in the sword mark world forever.”
He waved his hand as he spoke. Figures gradually appeared around the stone tablet. They seemed to exist in another space as they looked up at the stone tablet. There were tens of thousands of them.
“These are all people who have yet to wake up. Among them, there are those in the Dao Origin Realm, those in the Initial Dao Realm, and experts at the Dao Lord level.”
Shen Ping was shocked. “D-Dao Lord?!”
A Dao Lord was already a pinnacle of existence in the endless realms, but even a Dao Lord could not break free from the sword mark on the stone tablet.
The elegant man sighed. “Although the Dao Lord is strong, the nameless sword technique on this stone tablet is the supreme Sword Dao. It can contain all things and evolve them. It’s the ultimate of everything. The Dao of Fate you comprehended can compare to this supreme Sword Dao, but it’s only comparable. The supreme Sword Dao is the true Dao of rules.
“But it’s expressed in the form of a sword. And the rules are the ultimate of everything. If you can comprehend the will of the great path from it, you can already stand at the peak. Unfortunately, not to mention you, I can’t comprehend even half a move from it!”
Shen Ping was a little confused. After he came back to his senses, he could not help but ask in a low voice, “May I ask who you are?”
The elegant man smiled and said, “I… am the master of Realm Sea Peak.”
“Huh?! Y-You’re the master of the Realm Sea Peak. No, d-didn’t you die?” After saying that, he regretted it. He said that he died in front of the person.
However, the elegant man did not care. “I did die. Now, I’m just a body condensed from a wisp of sword intent I once left in this world. Back then, after I obtained this nameless sword stele, I brought it to the Realm Sea Peak palace world. What you see now is only the projection of this sword stele. If it was the real sword stele, you would have long become like those people.”
Shen Ping was shocked. In front of him was actually only a wisp of sword intent condensed, but he could not even defeat a wisp of sword intent. How terrifying was the true master of the Realm Sea Peak?
