"The knife marks on this stone tablet contain a peculiar power, similar to knife intent, but seemingly far more advanced than knife intent..."
As Li Ming calmed down, he focused on understanding the knife marks before him.
With his comprehension, he could naturally see the true power of the knife mark.
"It seems... it has resonated with my primordial spirit."
Li Ming fell into deep thought.
The moment he saw the knife mark, he felt a powerful attraction, as if a voice in his mind was calling him to come.
"These ninety-nine knife marks are actually a whole. If you can view them at the same time, you might be able to discover their secrets... but you need to use the power of your primordial spirit."
Li Ming activated his Heavenly Eye, his mind racing.
Instantly, a golden primordial spirit figure appeared in the sea of consciousness between his brows.
From the outside perspective.
Li Ming, however, couldn't comprehend even a single sword mark.
Many people around were already whispering among themselves, somewhat confused about the situation.
"Has it not started yet?"
"At the very least, you should have grasped the essence of the first sword mark by now..."
Even Guan Xin, who trusted Li Ming implicitly, was puzzled.
After all, even he comprehended the first few sword marks extremely quickly, so it's normal for Li Ming to have comprehended more than a dozen by now.
"Buzz".
When Li Ming summoned his primordial spirit, the stone tablet seemed to sense the spirit's aura and began to emit light.
at the same time,
Li Ming wasn't idle either; he also comprehended the ninety-nine sword marks together.
Previously, there were others who had tried to comprehend it simultaneously, but the powerful sword intent emanating from the blade marks was something they couldn't withstand.
Li Ming, however, managed to withstand the attack thanks to his Heavenly Eye and powerful primordial spirit.
In just a few breaths.
The knife marks kept flashing.
In an instant, dozens of beams of light shot into the sky.
This speed instantly stunned the onlookers.
"Good heavens... what's going on?"
"That's too fast, twenty... thirty... forty..."
Just as everyone was discussing this, more than a dozen knife marks flashed.
Guan Xin stared wide-eyed, muttering to himself:
"Brother Li is really freakish. He can't be stopped at all by this level of difficulty. I was worried about him for a long time."
Wan Kong, standing in the distance, was stunned, completely unable to believe what he was seeing.
I originally wanted to mock Li Ming, but thankfully I didn't say anything.
As for the knife fanatic who originally held the highest record in the arena, his eyes gleamed.
For him.
If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening!
Li Ming's skill in swordsmanship far surpasses his!
He desperately wanted to fight such a powerful opponent.
The knife fanatic was burning with excitement.
The people on the field had different thoughts, but they all looked at the huge Heavenly Stele and Li Ming beside it.
Soon, all ninety-nine knife marks were lit up!
Everyone held their breath, their eyes glued to the scene before them.
As all the knife marks were illuminated, strange patterns emerged from the ninety-nine knife marks on the stone tablet, like a blurry black figure being drawn with a paintbrush.
However, only Li Mingcai could see this scene clearly.
Although the dark shadow was incredibly blurry, like a child's scribbles, Li Ming sensed a power that could annihilate everything and destroy all paths!
"Is this... the embodiment of the God of War's will?"
Li Ming's pupils contracted involuntarily, utterly shocked.
The aura emanating from the blurry figure made him feel suffocated.
However, the black figure in front of them showed no emotion and seemed to have no consciousness; it simply existed there, like an object.
"It is said that powerful beings with sufficiently strong primordial spirits can create a manifestation of their will... I never imagined that they could attach their power to such an inanimate object after death, and it would linger for a long time. The power of a Martial God Realm expert is indeed inconceivable."
Li Ming thought to himself that he knew the powerful figure who left behind the legacy was indeed a genuine Martial God.
At least his use of primordial spirit power was beyond his imagination.
After thoroughly understanding the ninety-nine sword marks, his swordsmanship improved by leaps and bounds.
It is no exaggeration to say that he has now created a sword technique that is easily at the level of a martial saint's ultimate skill.
Now he can truly be called a master of both swords and sabers.
As he pondered, a sharp glint flashed in the eyes of the dark figure, and he met Li Ming's primordial spirit's gaze, as if he had confirmed something.
On the stone tablet, a line of text suddenly appeared as if flowing.
The successor has appeared... and the final trial begins.
boom!
Endless light and shadow seemed to fill the entire mountain peak, like the waters of a river, constantly churning, bizarre and wonderful.
"The final trial?"
"It seems that comprehending the sword marks is the third stage... Now is the time to receive the inheritance!"
Li Ming suddenly understood and opened his eyes.
It felt as if I had traveled from the present world to ancient times, from the real world to the virtual world.
Still at Tianbei Peak.
In an instant, day turned into night.
However, it seemed that they were no longer in the secret realm. The sky was shrouded in clouds and mist, and the stars and moon could be vaguely seen on the horizon.
The surroundings were completely silent; the martial artists who had come with them were gone.
A sense of chaos made Li Ming feel momentarily disoriented.
This place is both illusory and incredibly real; the senses of touch, sound, and sight are perfectly harmonious.
"call!"
"Is this the true place of inheritance?"
Li Ming came to his senses and looked at the original location of the stone tablet.
The stone tablet is no longer there.
There was only one tall figure there, his head bowed so his face was not visible. He was dressed in a black robe and had a wine gourd hanging at his waist, looking extremely carefree.
The other party's cultivation level seemed to be no different from his.
Both are martial saints of the Dharma form.
It seemed like it was done on purpose.
As Li Ming sized him up, the other party also saw Li Ming. He saw that the other party had a broad-eyed, straight nose, a heroic and domineering face, and a smile on his lips.
"I, Lü Kuangsheng, have finally found someone who understands my way of the sword..."
Lu Kuangsheng laughed heartily, showing no airs of a senior.
He was extremely pleased to see Li Ming arrive.
“Lu Kuangsheng…it really is him.”
Li Ming's pupils contracted sharply, as if he had thought of something.
According to legend, Lü Kuangsheng was the Martial God Realm expert who left behind the secret realm.
Born in this place, he was originally just an ordinary person who knew nothing about martial arts. He found a sword manual somewhere and practiced it until he became a Martial Saint.
After leaving this remote place, he became extremely arrogant and rude, with an eccentric personality. He made quite a name for himself in the Eastern Region, and many people called him the Madman.
His real name is unknown; all that is known is that his surname is Lü, and he is called Lü Kuangsheng. Over time, he himself has come to call himself Lü Kuangsheng.
After returning to his homeland, he directly killed a great demon who was causing trouble in the East Sea, shocking the world.
Only then did the world realize this.
A martial god reigns supreme over this small, desolate country.
"Young man, you have exceptional talent. You were able to comprehend the ninety-nine knife marks I left behind. You must be a remarkable person of our time."
"However, obtaining my inheritance will not be so easy."
Lu Kuangsheng's voice was full of domineering intent.
Li Ming understood immediately and cupped his hands, saying, "Senior, please enlighten me."
"Alright, as long as you learn my swordsmanship, it will be enough to make you invincible in the Martial Saint realm. Even after you attain the Martial God realm, it will definitely be of great use!"
Lu Kuangsheng's words were extremely unrestrained and arrogant, but they didn't sound like he was lying.
