I Have A Trillion Protagonist Halos
Chapter 58: Sword Intentions Soaring Into The Sky

These elders, while appearing to agree and compromise, actually didn't want Su Zhan to break the rules at all!

Just as Qin Jincheng was preparing to reject this request, Chen Changfeng smiled and spoke up: "Sect Master, you told me before that Su Zhan's talent is unparalleled and cannot be seen through ordinary perspectives. Why are you hesitating now?"

"It's not that I don't trust Su Zhan, but you haven't been to the Sword Tomb, so you naturally don't know the difficulty involved…" Qin Jincheng shook his head.

Chen Changfeng said, "Sect Master, if you haven't witnessed the awe-inspiring power of Su Zhan's two fused divine bodies, I might agree with you. But now, I have complete confidence in Su Zhan!"

"Moreover, this is the best solution to the matter!"

"Do we really have to create a serious dispute with the elders and let our Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect descend into chaos?"

Upon hearing these words, Qin Jincheng considered for a moment and reluctantly nodded.

Breaking the rules and going beyond limits was already an enormous challenge. Being able to fight for this much for Su Zhan was already the limit.

The rest would depend on Su Zhan himself!

"Hehe! That's settled then. Tomorrow, the elders of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect will come together to witness this matter!"

Elder Miao stroked his beard, feeling quite pleased.

The other elders also let go of their worries. Finally, they managed to preserve the rules set by the ancestors. If they had truly allowed Su Zhan unrestricted access to the Sword Tomb, they would have felt uneasy when offering incense to the ancestors in the future.

After all, these were rules established by the ancestors and had been upheld for thousands of years!

As for whether Su Zhan would truly obtain the recognition of ten ancestral sword spirits?

The elders smiled at each other.

They all understood each other's thoughts: It was impossible.

…

At White Cloud Peak, after finishing his bath, Su Zhan was taking a rest in the courtyard when his identity token suddenly emitted a fluctuation.

He took out his identity token and infused a trace of true qi into it, causing a layer of light screen to appear. A series of small characters were displayed on the light screen.

It was a message personally transmitted by the Sect Master. After reading it, he was somewhat surprised.

"The Sword Tomb? Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect actually has a Sword Tomb? How come I've never heard anyone mention it?"

"With my current level of sword cultivation, I'm probably not inferior to the past Sect Masters of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect."

"However, sword cultivation is all about making connections and comprehending various sword intentions and sword techniques, in order to deepen one's own understanding of swordsmanship."

"Moreover, with twenty-seven Sect Masters and twenty-seven different sword insights and perceptions, if I can absorb and integrate all of them, it would definitely bring immense benefits!"

Su Zhan's eyes brightened.

His Firestar Sword Technique had already reached a state of small achievement and he would still need a considerable amount of time to reach great achievement. However, if he could assimilate the sword insights and intentions of the twenty-seven Sect Masters, he might be able to significantly shorten this time!

With this in mind, Su Zhan began to recall the characteristics of the sword techniques used by the past Sect Masters. When he first received the identity token, it contained some basic information about the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect, although it was only briefly mentioned and not detailed.

However, there wasn't anything particularly important going on at the moment, so it wouldn't hurt to take a look.

…

The next day.

Su Zhan arrived at the Sword Tomb.

The Sword Tomb was actually a mountain. It was covered by a large array, and only the Sect Master had permission to enter.

Sect Master Qin Jincheng was already waiting for him at the foot of the mountain. The elders on the surrounding peaks were also watching Su Zhan, their eyes filled with anticipation.

"Su Zhan, according to the agreement between me and the elders, I cannot accompany you up the mountain," Qin Jincheng said solemnly as he watched Su Zhan approach.

"Furthermore, while you are in the Sword Tomb, you can practice your sword techniques and demonstrate your sword intentions to resonate with the ancestral sword spirits. But be careful not to damage the ancestral swords!"

"Alright," Su Zhan nodded and walked past Qin Jincheng, heading towards the mountain.

After a while.

"Su Zhan is almost halfway up the mountain. He will soon encounter the first ancestral spirit!"

"That ancestral spirit is the former Sect Master of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect and the master of the Sect Master and Senior Brother Chen."

"That ancestral spirit cultivated a fire attribute sword technique, which is somewhat related to Su Zhan's Firestar Sword Technique and Great Sun Divine Body. He should recognize Su Zhan."

As soon as the elders finished speaking, a flame sword intent appeared halfway up the mountain, and the personal weapon belonging to the former Sect Master emitted a bright red light. All the elders anticipated this scene, so they merely nodded without showing much surprise.

At this moment, Su Zhan was on the halfway point of the mountain, experiencing the sword intent and sword insights of this ancestor of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect.

To others, it seemed like a bright light, but for Su Zhan, who stood nearby, he felt as if he had entered a world of flames. In that world, there was a figure that couldn't be clearly seen, practicing sword techniques. At the same time, strands of sword insights surged into his mind.

After pausing for two minutes, Su Zhan shifted his gaze away from the figure, and the surroundings returned to normal.

He continued moving forward.

"Su Zhan, did you comprehend the sword technique and insights of that ancestor so quickly?"

An elder expressed doubt.

"How is that possible! He should have just sensed it briefly, without choosing to delve deeper, and proceeded up the mountain to see the sword intentions and insights of the other ancestors!"

"Well, this whole endeavor was originally meant for Su Zhan to gain the recognition of the ancestors, not necessarily to fully comprehend their sword intentions and insights!"

"Even though Su Zhan has exceptional talent, he is currently only at the Martial Master Realm. To comprehend the sword intentions and insights of an ancestor who is at least at the peak of the Origin Elixir Realm, it would likely take him several days!"

…

Upon witnessing this scene, the elders began discussing among themselves.

Soon, Su Zhan encountered the second sword.

This sword also emitted a red light, and its sword intent was of the fire attribute, but it wasn't a raging flame. Instead, it took the form of a fiery dragon!

"The recognition of the second ancestral sword spirit!"

The eyes of the elders lit up. For them, as long as Su Zhan didn't gain the recognition of more than ten ancestral sword spirits and didn't violate the ancestral rules, the more ancestral recognition he obtained, the happier they would be!

After all, they were members of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect and naturally hoped for Su Zhan's sword talent to be as high as possible.

Su Zhan closed his eyes and pondered next to the second sword for two minutes before continuing forward.

The third sword.

Its sword intent was composed of mist and clouds, elusive and intangible.

Having comprehended the sword intent and insights contained within this sword, Su Zhan ascended to the mountaintop!

In the Sword Tomb, only three swords were buried halfway up the mountain, while the rest were all at the mountaintop.

This was the focal point of everyone's attention. They all stared intently, afraid of missing any detail.

As Su Zhan's gaze swept over those broken swords, he lightly stepped forward and arrived at the central position. He didn't activate his Sword Dao Halo nor exhibit the Firestar Sword Technique.

Just standing there triggered a burst of sword resonance!

Out of the twenty-four longswords containing rudimentary spiritual intelligence, six emitted extraordinary sword intentions!

Those manifestations in the sky displayed six different sword intents, with the radiance of the six swords intensifying as if they were competing, vying to be the first to impart their sword insights to Su Zhan.

This scene surprised everyone.

Elder Miao patted his chest and said, "Good! Good! Nine ancestors, none have crossed the line! Nine ancestors, hahaha! This number is perfect!"

Elder Miao continued speaking, and his laughter grew more exuberant. "Perfect! We won't incur the blame of the ancestors, and it proves that Su Zhan's sword talent is extremely high. Moreover, he has obtained the sword intentions and insights of nine ancestral spirits, which should be enough for his comprehension!"

"Brother Chen, this time, it looks like you overestimated Su Zhan—how is this possible!" Before Elder Miao could finish his words, he saw the scene on the mountaintop, and the smile on his face instantly vanished, replaced by an expression of disbelief.

Only to be seen.

On the summit of the Sword Tomb.

Above Su Zhan, streams of starlight appeared, interweaving with flowing fire, resembling a Milky Way spanning the sky!

In the moment this milky way emerged on the summit of the Sword Tomb, the twenty-four ancestral spirit swords of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect shone brightly. Sᴇaʀᴄh the ɴovᴇlꜰirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.
