If it weren't for his mind being exceptionally strong and his Divine Soul equally powerful, just by reading through the Nine Swords in one breath, he would have already succumbed to Deviation, his state of mind would have collapsed, his Divine Soul annihilated, and he would have perished.

And he, he was merely watching images, not witnessing them in person. Just this consequence, what if the target of those Nine Swords was himself? Su Chen dared not imagine.

These Nine Swords are just too strong, too overwhelming… They were strong enough to completely shatter Su Chen's worldview.

Especially the last three swords of the Nine Swords. Shaking Absolute Space? Using Sword Rhyme to birth a Sword Spirit, turning a dead sword into a living one? Directly resonating with the Sword Rhyme to break through the boundaries of the Multiverse?

How could they be so powerful? Even though Su Chen was mentally prepared, he was still frightened to the point where his mind trembled.

Is this mythology?

The cultivation of Sword Rhyme to the ultimate level? Is it possible to reach such a state?

Phew...

For a long while, Su Chen took a deep breath and recollected his state of mind.

That's enough!

He had already watched the old man's Nine Swords in one go, and the images of the Nine Swords seemed engraved in his mind, never to be forgotten, like a record imprinted.

As long as he has time, whenever he wishes, he can immerse himself in any of the old man's Nine Swords, slowly understanding, comprehending, and contemplating them.

For now, in the short term, trying to fully comprehend these Nine Swords is clearly a fantasy. Even fully comprehending one sword is not something Su Chen can accomplish quickly. Fortunately, he has time. As long as he does not die in his path of martial arts cultivation, he can understand these Nine Swords at any time.

"Hahaha…" In an instant, Su Chen evaporated the cold sweat from his body, laughing heartily, a great harvest, a tremendous harvest.

From today onwards, his path in swordsmanship, especially in the domain of a swordsman, will advance by leaps and bounds!!! He will rise against the heavens!

Previously, Su Chen did not pay much attention to swordsmanship. Firstly, he had other stronger dependencies. Secondly, he had not had many fortuitous encounters in swordsmanship or had truly heaven-defying Mystic Arts and Divine Powers to comprehend.

Now, it's different.

The more skills, the better.

Even if he relied on his formidable Physical Body, Earth Witch Mountain Body Techniques, Dark Oblivion, and so forth, he was already incredibly strong, but who dislikes becoming even stronger?

Once he thoroughly comprehends each of these Nine Swords of the old man, his path in swordsmanship will enter another realm, reaching the ultimate heights!

Of course, Su Chen is also aware; yes, it's just comprehension, absorbing the essence, not absorbing it in its entirety. Even in swordsmanship, Su Chen will walk his own path, not the path of the Sword Emperor of the Sword Emperor Palace.

"I owe the Sword Emperor Palace a favor. In the future, if the Sword Emperor Palace faces a life-and-death disaster, I will lend a hand." Su Chen turned his head to look at Yang Chengjian, speaking calmly, his voice light yet earnest.

Having received such immense benefits from the Sword Emperor Palace, he couldn't turn his back and not acknowledge it.

If there's a grudge, it needs to be avenged; if there's a kindness, it needs to be repaid. This is Su Chen's principle, living without restraint, his way.

"Thank you, Young Master Su." Yang Chengjian was ecstatic, extremely moved. With these words from Su Chen, as long as Su Chen remains alive, at least in War Ancient Sky, no one or any force would dare to provoke the Sword Emperor Palace.

Then, Yang Chengjian hesitated, staring at Su Chen, quite conflicted.

"What do you want to ask?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Young Master Su, I wonder… how many swords did you see?" Yang Chengjian asked expectantly, his voice trembling.

The Sword Emperor Stone, Yang Chengjian had naturally comprehended it as well, knowing a bit about it.

"Nine swords, what's wrong?" Su Chen didn't conceal it, there was no need to.

"Ah?" Yang Chengjian was stunned, completely stunned, as if his brain had been struck by a mountain!

A jumble of thoughts.

After more than ten breaths, he finally and muddledly had some thought process, his voice trembled even more: "Young Master Su, are you sure? Nine… nine… nine swords?"

"Yes, nine swords, what's wrong?" Su Chen didn't quite understand why Yang Chengjian had this expression, could it be that when others comprehend the Sword Emperor Stone, they don't see nine swords?

"Young Master Su, back when I comprehended the Sword Emperor Stone, I saw the Sword Emperor Ancestor wield three swords, among which the third sword I saw was still rather blurry." Yang Chengjian said wryly: "But even so, I still became the sect master of the Sword Emperor Palace. The old sect master told me that being able to see two swords on the Sword Emperor Stone was already a once-in-a-million-years sword genius. I saw two and a half swords, which is an encounter rare in a million years. In the current generation, among the young disciples who have comprehended the Sword Emperor Stone, there are dozens from the Sword Emperor Palace. Among them, eighty percent saw one sword, four or five saw two swords, and one saw two and a half swords."

"Oh." Su Chen touched his nose, so that's how it is? So, seeing nine swords, and seeing them unbelievably crystal clear, engraved in his mind, I seem a bit abnormal, don't I! No wonder Yang Chengjian has that expression!

"Young Master Su, the most talented monster in the history of our Sword Emperor Palace only saw four scenes of the Sword Emperor Ancestor wielding the Longsword, and you… you actually saw nine…" Yang Chengjian was really so excited he was about to cry.

"Cough, cough, it was luck." Su Chen felt a bit awkward; the treasure left by the Sword Emperor senior for his successors, it turns out... I seem to have gained the most.

Yang Chengjian's mouth twitched, luck? How did this kind of luck fall on Su Chen and not on someone else?

Su Chen's talent for martial cultivation is too overwhelming!

This kind of monster, who surpasses any martial cultivator in War Ancient Sky by tens of thousands of levels, should ascend early! Yang Chengjian now sincerely hopes Su Chen ascends quickly, otherwise every martial cultivator in War Ancient Sky would live every day feeling as if they've been run over by the Heavenly Hound, constantly wallowing in self-doubt, wouldn't they? Why cultivate martial arts anymore? Their state of mind wouldn't calm down!

"Chen Yan, let's talk." Subsequently, Su Chen noticed Yang Chengjian's feelings of being so defeated that he wanted to die. He coughed lightly, then looked at Chen Yan, his figure flickered, and he vanished with Chen Yan.

He wanted to have a private chat with Chen Yan.

"Chen Yan, how have you been?" Su Chen stood mid-air, facing Chen Yan.

"I'm alright." Chen Yan didn't know how to respond, she didn't even dare to look at Su Chen. She admitted!!! She had feelings for Su Chen that she shouldn't have!

Yes, she had feelings.

After all, she's a woman, and Su Chen, like a blazing sun hanging high in the sky, too bright, too dazzling, too blinding, and too captivating.

But, she buried it in her heart because she knows she is not worthy of Su Chen, at least not now, and likely never will be in the future.

"I'm sorry. I haven't visited you all this while." Su Chen said with slight embarrassment. He truly felt guilty towards Chen Yan.

"It's… it's alright." Chen Yan still kept her head down.
