Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 330: Comprehending the Martial Scriptures

“`

Although there were still many people, with the three Iceflame Qilins present, the group smoothly entered Martial Emperor City.

Martial Emperor City was extremely large, almost like a small continent.

The Thousand Buddha Medicine God had only mentioned that the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword was located within Martial Emperor City, without specifying the exact location, so Yang Xiaotian needed to find the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword himself.

However, given the vast size of Martial Emperor City, it wouldn’t be easy to find the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword.

“Do you know where the Thousand Buddha Medicine God and the Martial Emperor made their wager back in the day?” Yang Xiaotian asked the three Iceflame Qilins.

The Iceflame Qilins and the Azure Thunder Python shook their heads.

The Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor spoke, “Time has passed too long, and it’s beyond tracing.” After pondering, he continued, “It should be somewhere around the Hall of Martial Scriptures and the Medicine God Hall.”

He explained, “The Hall of Martial Scriptures is where the Martial Emperor spent most of his time, and the Medicine God Hall is where the Medicine God stayed for a long period in the past.”

After some thought, Yang Xiaotian said, “Then let’s head to the Hall of Martial Scriptures first.” After speaking, he and the three Iceflame Qilins set out for the Hall of Martial Scriptures.

Consequently, with the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor leading the way, several people flew towards the Hall of Martial Scriptures.

There were numerous palaces in Martial Emperor City, totaling in the hundreds of thousands.

Fortunately, the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor had visited Martial Emperor City multiple times and easily guided Yang Xiaotian and the others to the Hall of Martial Scriptures.

The Hall of Martial Scriptures was immensely large; its grand hall could accommodate a hundred thousand people, making individuals seem minuscule inside it.

Around the walls of the grand hall, there were all sorts of martial arts depicted.

But, there was only imagery, no text.

This was the collection of martial scriptures left by the Martial Emperor.

The martial scriptures were indeed a strange book.

Many geniuses observed the martial scriptures, each gaining different insights.

Within the martial scriptures, there was no swordsmanship, no technique for the blade, nor was there boxing or palm techniques.

Just a series of odd and peculiar images.

Yet, some Sword Dao geniuses had comprehended a set of Supreme Divine Sword Techniques from these images.

Some Blade Dao geniuses had also deduced Supreme Divine Blade Techniques from these images.

It is said that the Death Shapeless Sword Technique, the supreme sword technique of Buddha Source Academy, was comprehended by a certain headmaster of Buddha Source from these images.

The Death Shapeless Sword Technique has now become one of the most powerful Supreme Divine Powers of Buddha Source Academy.

When Yang Xiaotian and the others entered the grand hall, hundreds were already contemplating the martial scriptures on the walls.

Everyone was fully engrossed in studying the images, so when Yang Xiaotian and his group came in, no one paid them any attention.

Yang Xiaotian casually walked up to the first image.

He and the Iceflame Qilins began to examine these martial scripture images.

Yang Xiaotian looked quite rapidly, finishing the first image in a few breaths, then moving on to the second, and after a few more breaths, he proceeded to the third image.

Soon, Yang Xiaotian had already viewed the twentieth image.

An elder from the grand hall who saw Yang Xiaotian rapidly skimming through the martial scripture images frowned, “Young man, with the way you’re studying the martial scriptures, there is no effect at all. You might as well not study them.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian just smiled and didn’t say anything, and in a few breaths, he moved on to the twenty-first image.

“Elder, with your status, you offered to guide this youngster, but he still persists in his single-minded approach. He really doesn’t know what’s good for him,” said a follower standing behind the elder.

The elder shook his head, “It’s normal for disciples who have just entered the Martial Dao to aim too high and miss the mark,” then added, “With that attitude, this child will hardly achieve anything significant.”

At that moment, suddenly, in a certain part of the grand hall, Sword Qi soared to the sky, the astonishing Sword Qi alerted everyone present.

People turned to look and saw a young man in grey standing in front of the last image; the young man had a long sword on his back, and at this moment, his body was wrapped in Sword Qi, with streaks of Sword Qi flying from within.

There were as many as nineteen streaks of Sword Qi.

Clearly, this young man had finished viewing the martial scripture images and deduced a Supreme Sword Technique, thus naturally generating Sword Qi.

“It’s Liang Fang, the leading disciple of Soaring Cloud Sword Sect. Liang Fang was born with a Vajra Sword Body, and he is one of the most talented young Sword Dao geniuses in Buddha Source!”

“`

Many recognized the youth in the gray robe and were shocked.

“The Soaring Cloud Sword Sect has produced an extraordinary Sword Dao genius!” exclaimed the ancient elder who had previously offered guidance to Yang Xiaotian.

Every year, tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, of disciples enter Martial Emperor City, and the vast majority are prodigious disciples from major forces, yet very few can deduce the Supreme Sword Technique from the martial arts left by the Martial Emperor of Martial Emperor City.

Yang Xiaotian paid no mind to the crowd. After comprehending one image, he moved on to the next. Unbeknownst to him, he arrived at the last image.

Seeing how quickly Yang Xiaotian reached the last image, the elder shook his head and was about to look away when suddenly, a frightening Sword Qi burst forth from Yang Xiaotian’s body, which not even the Hall of Martial Scriptures could contain.

The Sword Qi pierced through the Hall of Martial Scriptures and shot straight into the sky.

Everyone was taken aback.

Liang Fang of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect just finished his study of the martial scriptures and was about to leave the great hall when he too stopped in shock, turning to look at Yang Xiaotian with utter amazement.

Then, another burst of Sword Qi erupted from Yang Xiaotian.

This Sword Qi was stronger, fiercer, and more astonishing.

Following that, like a series of firecrackers, more terrifying Sword Qi bursts kept shooting out from Yang Xiaotian.

Nineteen!

Twenty!

Twenty-one!

Soon, there were thirty bursts of Sword Qi!

“Thirty Sword Qis!” a swordsman in the great hall exclaimed in shock.

Generally, the stronger the swordsmanship divine ability comprehended from the martial scripture images, the more innate Sword Qis one would produce.

For instance, Liang Fang of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect had produced nineteen Sword Qis, which had already amazed the crowd; yet Yang Xiaotian had now produced a full thirty Sword Qis, and the count was still rising!

“Impossible!” The elder who had advised Yang Xiaotian earlier was dumbfounded, and those under him were utterly stupefied.

“Thirty-one!”

“Thirty-two!”

The count of Sword Qi quickly surpassed forty.

The people in the great hall were horrified.

Back then, the dean of Buddha Source Academy could only produce forty Sword Qis with the Death Shapeless Sword Technique.

Now, after reaching forty, Yang Xiaotian continued to emit relentless Sword Qi.

“Fifty!”

When Yang Xiaotian’s Sword Qi hit fifty, everyone in the great hall was shaken.

“Back then, wasn’t it Lord Ji Wudi who had fifty Sword Qis!” a master trembled.

Ji Wudi!

Everyone’s hearts were pounding.

All in the great hall knew who Ji Wudi was.

Revered as the most talented Sword Dao genius in the history of Celestial Burial Academy, as well as the strongest Sword Ancestor of the academy, even the Demon Sky Sword God had to retreat when facing Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi.

Ji Wudi’s study of martial scriptures resulted in just fifty Sword Qis, but now this youth was surpassing Sword Ancestor Ji Wudi!

“Fifty-one!”

“Fifty-two!”

As Yang Xiaotian’s Sword Qi broke past sixty, everyone felt almost paralyzed with fear.

The elder who had counseled Yang Xiaotian was now so agitated his chest heaved like the waves of the sea.

Moreover, the powerhouses who had entered Martial Emperor City also witnessed the terrifying Sword Qi above the Hall of Martial Scriptures.

“Who is it! Who is comprehending the martial scriptures to produce sixty Sword Qis!” one sect master after another exclaimed in horror.
