Seeing Song Shixing step into the Sword Pavilion, he is very likely to become the first cultivator in the Divine Sword Sect in a thousand years to comprehend the Heart-Piercing Sword Technique.

The disciples then turned their attention to Xu Xinrou, who was sitting slumped at the entrance of the Sword Pavilion, looking utterly disheveled.

Some sympathy, some mockery, and some contempt were bluntly expressed in the comments.

“She’s a cultivator from a remote town. If she weren’t a core disciple, even if she were a partner, Senior Brother Song wouldn’t choose her!”

"She really thinks she's so great! Without Senior Brother Song, if she entered the territory of the Golden Core stage's fierce spirits, she would probably be eaten alive, leaving not even bones behind!"

These words pierced Xu Xinrou's ears like sharp swords.

The proud woman could no longer bear it. She screamed, pushed aside the onlookers, and ran away from the Sword Pavilion.

Seeing so many people, Chen Tianwen decided to wait before going in.

If Song Shixing's ninety sword imprints caused such a sensation, wouldn't his more than one hundred and fifty be even more eye-catching?

Chen Tianwen waited for half a day. Taking advantage of the few people around, he lightly swiped his token and then subtly blocked the magic weapon. Only after the words disappeared did he step into the Sword Pavilion.

Many people don't want others to know how many sword marks they have, so Chen Tianwen's performance went largely unnoticed.

Inside the Sword Pavilion.

As soon as Chen Tianwen stepped inside, he felt as if the world had shifted.

Once they could see clearly again, they found themselves in a small room no more than three zhang long and wide. The walls of the room were shrouded in a gray mist, looking incredibly illusory, yet neither spiritual power, physical strength, nor divine sense could penetrate it.

In the center of the small room was a futon, large enough for one person to sit on.

Time is precious.

Chen Tianwen thought to himself, and then quickly sat cross-legged on the futon.

In an instant.

Everything in the small room disappeared.

A colossal, gleaming silver longsword that seemed to pierce the soul, slender yet exuding a sharp aura.

It suddenly appeared in Chen Tianwen's eyes!

Shocking!

Chen Tianwen was filled with shock!

A moment later, the cold light of the longsword began to distort, and countless obscure characters and runes shimmered with silver light, slowly condensing.

Finally, the Heart-Piercing Sword Technique, consisting of several hundred characters, slowly took shape, floating above the Heart-Piercing Sword and reflected before Chen Tianwen's eyes.

Chen Tianwen focused his mind and immediately began watching.

When he first saw the word "诛" (zhū, meaning to kill), he suddenly felt as if ten thousand thin swords were piercing his head.

"ah!"

This pain is simply unbearable!

Chen Tianwen immediately wanted to stand up, but he held back!

"If you can't even endure this little bit of pain, how can you possibly master the Heart-Piercing Sword Technique that no one has been able to comprehend for thousands of years!"

Chen Tianwen gritted his teeth.

I held on for a few more seconds, but I couldn't take it anymore!

This kind of pain is simply unbearable for him right now!

Just as Chen Tianwen was about to stand up, a surge of spiritual energy instantly flowed from the jade pendant, nourishing his head.

The pain I just felt was like a dream; it vanished instantly!

Chen Tianwen immediately forgot the pain once the wound healed and looked at "Zhu" again.

This time, his pain was greatly reduced.

Then, Chen Tianwen continued to look at the second character, "heart".

Suddenly, another unbearable pain struck him, and just as he was about to reach his limit, the jade pendant struck again.

I've read all three words.

Chen Tianwen was completely soaked with sweat.

However, his gaze remained unwavering as he continued to look at the first character of the Heart-Piercing Sword Technique, his mind tense, already bracing himself for another sharp pain in his head.

"A calm mind like still water, a heart as firm as a rock, the five senses united, the seven orifices sealed..."

After reading a sentence smoothly, Chen Tianwen was surprised to find that he no longer had a headache!

A surge of joy welled up in my heart without my noticing.

Then, to my dismay, I discovered that I had to read it all over again.

After all, it's the Heart-Piercing Sword, a top-tier treasure of the Divine Sword Sect...

Over the years, cultivators who can even slightly wield the Heart-Piercing Sword have become extremely rare.

We must put in the effort!

Chen Tianwen focused his mind and quickly read through the text once more. A voice of the Great Dao resounded in his mind again.

"The Heart-Piercing Sword Technique: sixty years of observation to enter the basics, six hundred years to achieve minor mastery, and six thousand years to achieve major mastery!"

"The greatest truths are the simplest... After simplification, the Heart-Piercing Sword Technique can be mastered by observing and refining the Heart-Piercing Sword for sixty hours using the sword's imprint!"
