Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

"We disciples must strive to improve ourselves. I will open the Sword Tomb. At that time, all disciples will enter and fight to obtain the sword intent of the Heart-Piercing Sword!"

"Slay the evil spirit! Seize the sword seal!"

"Slaying a Qi Refining stage ferocious soul yielded half a sword imprint; Foundation Establishment stage, one imprint; Golden Core stage, five imprints!"

"Each mark allows you to comprehend the Heart-Piercing Sword Technique within the Sword Pavilion for one hour!"

"The Sword Tomb will open soon. At this time, regardless of identity or cultivation level, everyone is welcome to enter!"

This news shocked the entire clan!

The key point is in the second half of the sentence.

Anyone, regardless of their status, may enter!

In other words, even menial laborers are allowed inside!

This has never been seen in previous trials!

This is very exciting news for everyone!

"The sect leader is truly radiant and mighty, and possesses a kind and benevolent heart!"

"Under the leadership of our sect leader, what is there to fear that our Divine Sword Sect will not prosper!"

"Long live the Sect Master!"

Upon receiving the news, the excited disciples, including the servants, bowed their heads in excitement towards the location of Divine Sword Peak.

In an instant, the Divine Sword Sect was in high spirits, and the disciples began to sing praises of Divine Sword Heaven's merits. Divine Sword Heaven's prestige reached its peak in a flash!

No one was willing to give up this hard-won opportunity.

If anyone reveals even the slightest intention not to join, the other disciples will say they are ungrateful! They're not even willing to seize such an opportunity!

And Shenjian Tian did not break his promise.

Once the Sword Tomb opens, it will allow all disciples—from menial servants and ordinary disciples to core disciples, true disciples, and even elders like Xia Anyu who have just been promoted from true disciples—to enter!

Entrance to the Sword Tomb.

One by one, the disciples, with determined gazes, slipped inside.

Many of the handyman disciples knelt down and kowtowed to the sect master's hall before entering the Sword Tomb.

A young man dressed in brocade robes, exuding an air of nobility, watched this scene. A deep meaning flashed in his eyes, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

At that moment, he seemed to see a familiar face, and instantly adopted a gentle and pleased expression.

"Big brother!"

Song Shixing bowed to the noble man, his brows furrowed with excitement.

"Junior Brother Song..."

The noble-looking man remained indifferent, and the two exchanged words for a while.

Song Shixing bid farewell to the noble man and entered the Sword Tomb with Xu Xinrou.

The elegantly dressed man turned and left.

The main hall of the sect.

The young man in luxurious clothes bowed respectfully to the person on the high platform.

"Father, all the disciples have entered, and they are all extremely grateful to you."

The elegant man's lips curled into a mocking smile once more.

"Nearly a thousand disciples of the Divine Sword Sect have all entered. I believe that soon, we will be able to gather enough sword imprints for the sixty years of comprehension that Father needs."

"Um!"

The person on the platform said "Good" loudly, and then turned around.

"Daozi, you have done very well. Once I comprehend the Heart-Piercing Sword Technique and obtain the Heart-Piercing Sword, I will travel around seeking opportunities for breakthroughs. At that time, you will be the next sect leader of my Divine Sword Sect!"

The man's face was finally fully revealed; it was none other than Shen Jiantian!

The nobleman's face immediately lit up with joy.

"Thank you, Father! But Father, is it possible that a disciple could comprehend the Heart-Piercing Sword Technique in such a short time?"

Shen Jiantian shook his head.

"Daozi! You only know that this Heart-Piercing Sword Technique can sever the primordial spirit and is incredibly powerful, but you don't know that no one has been able to successfully comprehend this sword technique for nearly a thousand years!"

"It took me six years of study to gain some confidence that I could comprehend it with the help of the Sword Mark over a period of sixty years!"

"Even if a disciple obtains a hundred sword marks, what's the use of cultivating for a hundred hours? They won't even learn the basics!"

Shen Daozi nodded, suddenly realizing what was going on.

"I see. Then I wish Father a great success in his swordsmanship, and that he will be invincible!"

"good!"

Hearing Shen Daozi's words, Shen Jiantian was even happier.

Shindoko turned and left.

Shenjian Tian laughed wildly in the hall.

"Therefore you must do your best to slay the evil spirits!"

...

Sword Tomb, the place lives up to its name.

The Tomb of the Sword.

This is an ancient battlefield.

The scattered broken swords clearly indicate that the two sides in the battle were from two major schools of swordsmanship.

For some unknown reason, the two sides fought to such an extent that the remains of their swords alone covered an area of ​​a thousand miles.

As time passed, the cultivator's remains could not withstand the erosion of time and had long since turned into dust.

But the sword remains left from that battle, imbued with the intense hatred of the dead for the living, formed a peculiar malevolent spirit that ravaged the mortal realm, attacking everyone who passed by.

The Divine Sword Sect's team moved slowly forward in this environment.

A dark mist filled the surroundings, a biting wind blew, and ghostly winds howled, like the whispers of the dead from the underworld.

Many low-level disciples who were doing menial tasks would tremble with every step they took.

This aroused dissatisfaction among core disciples such as Xu Xinrou.

What displeased him most was Chen Tianwen, who limped along at the back of the group.

"Senior Brother Song, why is this good-for-nothing allowed to participate in the trial with us?"

Song Shixing shook his head slightly.

“Junior Sister Xinrou, this is a gift from the Sect Master. How can we presume to discuss it?”

Xu Xinrou then looked at Chen Tianwen, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.

"Chen the Cripple, don't think I don't know what you're up to! You don't actually think that entering the Sword Tomb will give you a chance to comprehend the Heart-Piercing Sword, do you?"

"I'm telling you, that's wishful thinking!"

"You're just a piece of trash at the fifth level of Qi Refining, not even enough to feed a remnant soul, yet you want to comprehend the Heart-Piercing Sword? How utterly laughable!"
