Eternal Sovereign

It went without saying that the power of Sword Force was a great boost to a martial artist's strength. Lu Manling's elementary form or initial stage of Sword Force had already increased so much. If it was that top grade Sword Force, then how powerful would it be?!

Possessing sword force, he would have another powerful trump card.

"Die!"

Lu Manling coldly spat out a single word, and in the next moment, she chopped towards Chen Yi like a bolt of lightning.

Chen Yi was shocked to discover that he couldn't move at all, and he couldn't even see his own body.

However, 'Lu Manling' was getting closer and closer to him, and the power of his sword force was getting stronger. Chen Yi could deeply feel the force field formed by the sword force, as well as the power that was carried by it.

Before the sword had arrived, a cold sword light filled Chen Yi's line of sight.

His sword flashed with a cold light, like silver frost.

Suddenly, his vision went black as Chen Yi completely withdrew from the comprehension of the Dao.

Chen Yi broke out in a cold sweat and covered his forehead with his hands.

Even though the 'Lu Manling' in the martial arts world duplicated everything that Lu Manling had done, it was even purer and stronger than Lu Manling's sword force!

And in order for Chen Yi to feel the power of the sword force, the Dao Understanding Stone didn't allow him to resist at all. Chen Yi was like someone who had directly withstood the power of the sword force; his soul would not be able to endure this.

If one were to compare Chen Yi's soul to the sea, then the sea of souls would likely be experiencing a violent storm with monstrous waves and turbulent waves.

Chen Yi let out a painful groan. After a long time, his pale complexion gradually improved.

His soul and sea of consciousness slowly returned to normal.

Chen Yi closed his eyes and quietly experienced the feeling of being smashed to death by the power of the sword.

He noticed that he seemed to have a vague feeling towards the sword force.

This made Chen Yi incomparably happy.

This was indeed worthy of being called a fragment of the Enlightenment Stone. It had only withstood the force of the sword force once and had allowed him to gain a slight comprehension of it.

"In addition to the power of the fragments of the Comprehension Stone, the [True Sword Spirit] has also contributed greatly." Chen Yi did not neglect the power of the [True Sword Spirit Formula].

Since the [True Sword] allowed his comprehension of sword techniques to be extraordinary, then his comprehension of sword force should also be far beyond that of an ordinary genius.

After resting for a while and wiping away the cold sweat on his forehead, Chen Yi calmed himself down. Gritting his teeth, he placed the Enlightenment Stone against his forehead and immediately closed his eyes.

"Die!"

'Lu Manling 'continued to use the power of her Sword Force, and as her sword struck out, the wind whistled, and the sword force transformed, becoming unpredictable.

In a situation where he couldn't retaliate, Chen Yi was once again killed.

"Whooosh." Chen Yi tiredly put down the Comprehension Stone and rubbed his head, waiting for his fatigue and mental pain to lessen.

After that, he continued to experience the power of the sword force that had killed him.

It had only been four to five times since he'd come and gone. Four hours had passed just like that, and dark circles had appeared in Chen Yi's eyes.

Obviously, even with the help of the fragments of the Enlightenment Stone, the process of comprehending Sword Force was not easy, and the effects on the body were also quite large.

Even so, if Chen Yi's progress during this period were to be spread out, who knew how many people would be amazed and jealous.

For example, Lu Manling had extraordinary talent in the Dao of the Sword, and had spent a considerable amount of time in comprehending Sword Force.

But Chen Yi? It was just a mere five times, and he was only one step away from comprehending Sword Force.

"It's already the Yin hour. Let's rest for a while." Chen Yi rubbed his forehead tiredly and decided to take a nap.

It was already morning by the time he slept. The red clouds had already started preparing breakfast for Chen Yi, and the red and purple clouds were also preparing to clean up the room.

After waking up, Chen Yi saw this, so he could only give up on cultivating using the Dao Understanding Stone. His soul was already a little tired, so he might as well swallow some pills to cultivate his martial arts cultivation.

When both Red Cloud and Red Violet were not paying attention, Chen Yi swallowed a Rank 2 pill that he had bought from Chen Yingjie. He circulated the [Pure Yang Art] and removed the impurities within the pill, only absorbing the purified strength from the pill.

Before long, the strength of the pill had been completely absorbed. Chen Yi smiled in satisfaction as he felt the slight increase in his cultivation level and the slight increase in the quality of his true qi.

If things continued on like this, the quality of one's zhenqi might even be considered as second rate among the upper tier after half a month.

Compared to Chen Hebi and Chen Mengshui, he was only slightly weaker.

But how old were Chen Hebi and Chen Mengshui?

Moreover, the two of them were already at the Heavenly Axis Realm and their cultivation techniques were more likely to be Earth Grade. Chen Yi believed that by the time he reached the same cultivation level as the two of them, their true qi might have already evolved and become top-grade true qi.

Red Cloud pushed open the door and served Chen Yi while Red Cloud cleaned up the room.

At that time, Chen Hongfei ran over to find Chen Yi. After settling some personal matters, Chen Hongfei decided to make a bunk here and start cultivating as well.

Chen Yi ignored him, as long as he wasn't here at night.

The Enlightenment Stone could not be revealed, so anything else did not matter.

However, Chen Hongfei did not train for long as well. As other geniuses from other places had arrived, Chen Hongfei went off to gather some information.

Without sufficient strength, Chen Hongfei could only help Chen Yi in other ways.

Thus, three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Chen Residence had more and more people. With so many people, it was only natural that conflicts would break out. They were all young and full of pride, so how could they admit that they were inferior to others?

In these conflicts, some people's reputations were just beginning to show, making them difficult to deal with. As a result, the number of people who provoked these people was naturally dwindling.

For example, Chen Jiayu and his brother.

Chen Hongfei also told Chen Yi the information of these people, while also ridiculing the luxurious room number A.

Room A was specially prepared for those small city branch family members. Each room was hundreds of square meters, and there were all sorts of facilities inside, making people very envious.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a small palace.

This caused many people to be extremely jealous, but no one came to cause trouble for those geniuses.

The reason why he wasn't looking for trouble wasn't because of the incredible talents, but because of another reason.

The side branches of the small city level were basically all overseen by Upper Sky users. In order to reflect the difference between them and the side branches of the small town level, the younger generation of the side branches of the small city level could be exempted from the first round of exams.

They had the authority to select five people to participate in the second round.

These five people were definitely powerful. Otherwise, if these small cities didn't have good results, wouldn't they lose face?

However, the five of them might be powerful, but that was not necessarily the case. They even discovered that there were seven meridians among the five, and not all of the five of them were of the small circle.

Perhaps one or two of the five were incomparably monstrous, but the rest were all ordinary geniuses.

Some of the top geniuses from the small town's branch families might not be inferior to them.

For example, Chen Jiayu and his brother, they were probably considered top geniuses among the branches of small cities.

However, the biggest difference between a small town and a small town was that the former could be accompanied by experts from both families. This was a manifestation of their status.

Thus, these geniuses all had quasi-Xiantian Dao Protectors by their sides.

No matter how much some people disliked these geniuses, they did not dare to provoke them in front of a quasi Xiantian Dao Protector.

The person in charge of the Little Chen Estate did not say that these Dao Protectors were forbidden from taking action.

Thus, most of the conflicts occurred between Room B, Room C and Room D.

Most of the geniuses in room A were watching from the side.

Even so, Chen Hongfei was still able to figure out which one of the strongest people in room A. Chen Yi couldn't help but praise this ability of his.

On the fifth day after arriving at Little Chen Manor, Chen Hongfei's face suddenly turned serious. "Chen Yi, be careful in the next few days. Maybe someone will provoke you."

"Oh?" A look of doubt appeared on Chen Yi's face.

Chen Hongfei said angrily, "From yesterday onwards, the news that you have only just entered the seventh meridian spread out from who knows where. Many people in Room C and even Room D find you unpleasing to the eye, wanting to replace you."

"If you lose, you won't be able to stay in room B."

The rooms in which they lived were not always the same.

Cultivation base did not represent combat power, and those in room D did not mean that they were weaker than those in room C.

As for room B, the examiners believed that he had the ability to pass the second round.

However, this was only the organizer's belief. These prideful geniuses wouldn't easily acknowledge the position of Chen Yi and the others.

Even if they were in room B, these people would not easily agree with each other. They would think that the other party was not qualified to be on the same level as them.

Chen Yicheng's cultivation level of having just entered the seventh meridian was too low, even room D was at the bottom of the range.

How could the geniuses of Room C and Room D watch such low level people live in a better room than theirs?

Chen Hongfei wasn't the only one who wasn't used to living in the same room as the others.

The people in room B were probably ready to watch a joke. They did not want such a low level person to be on the same level as them.
