Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 892 - 866: Sword Comprehension

The sword is the king of all weapons.

Sword Dao encompasses boundless forms.

The Dao interconnects with one another.

"Brother Lei is here!"

As Xie Lei and Tangyu arrived, instantly over ten people looked over simultaneously and greeted them. This showed Xie Lei’s high status, being one of the three deputy hall masters of the Saint King Hall, and now his strength had improved further, making his status naturally unparalleled.

"Eh, this should be the new Junior Brother Tangyu, right?"

"Haha, you’ve been quite the talk of the town."

Tangyu smirked slightly and said, "Making all of you brothers laugh."

Xie Lei said, "Tangyu, let me introduce you. These are my brothers from the Myriad Saints Hall, and this area belongs to us."

"Area?" Tangyu slightly furrowed his brows, does the Sword Forest still need to be divided into areas?

Seeing Tangyu’s puzzled look, Xie Lei smiled and explained, "You know, even within the Inner Gate it’s not entirely harmonious. Such open and secret conflicts naturally occur. As you can see, there are about four major congregations in the Sword Forest: our Saint King Hall, Shocking King Hall, Morning Sun Hall, and the Underworld Gods Group are the four forces. Essentially, we default to delineating areas among ourselves, with no infringement."

"Haha, of course, occasionally there are exchanges among each other, that naturally occurs often too. Those scattered around are rather indifferent, not joining any force, so we don’t bother them. But if they want to enter the best areas of our four groups, it depends on our mood."

Tangyu then understood, it turns out everything here is so complicated.

Xie Lei patted Tangyu and said, "Feel free to wander in our area, actually this one area is enough to realize enlightenment."

Tangyu nodded, greeted everyone, and then went to comprehend the stele. Soon, Tangyu reached a stele, which had a line of text carved into it. Seeing the line of text, Tangyu was instantly drawn over.

The Wandering Dragon Force moves, each stroke powerful, embedding terrifying Sword Intent in every stroke and dot. Although it’s text, it’s actually practicing a form of Sword Intent, the sword hidden within text, expressing an understanding and pursuit of Sword Intent, interpreting an ultimate Sword Intent.

"Nine blades straight down to the heavens, one sword up to the firmament. Reaching the summit peak, there is a giant dragon in the east!"

A five-word absolute verse, while not particularly exquisite, it still stirred Tangyu with a surge of vigorous momentum rushing into his chest.

"The sword ought to go straight to the Nine Heavens, the sword ought to question the firmament. What is a sword, delight is a sword, dominance is a sword, ascending the pinnacle with absolute power, that’s an unparalleled sharp sword." Feeling the text, Tangyu seemed to have some realizations.

The Sword Intent depicted by the stele is about sharpness, an unmatched sharpness. Breaking all with force, shattering the firmament with absolute sharpness, slaying the dragon with one sword.

How domineering is this?

Only such a domineering person can make such bold claims, so this Sword Intent can stir the hot blood within Tangyu, making one involuntarily full of vigor.

After carefully contemplating for a moment, Tangyu moved onto the next stele.

"The Sword Intent on this stele emphasizes inclusiveness, like water, both gentle and light. Seemingly weak, but can encompass everything, overcome hardness with softness, triumph over the strong with the weak. Dripping water penetrates stone, the weakest water can wear through hard stone."

Immersed in this Sword Intent, Tangyu was entranced, indeed gaining much, giving him a new understanding of Sword Dao. Sword Dao, so vast, so profound.

And Sword Intent, of such varied kinds, yet the essence of the Dao is interconnected, just manifested differently. On close contemplation, one notices despite different forms, they have numerous inner connections.

There is Sword Intent emphasizing speed, Sword Intent revolving around ’light as weight’, Sword Intent moving off the beaten path, and some unexpected.

Sequentially, Tangyu surprisingly realized more than a dozen different Sword Intent forms, each form, when cultivated well, possesses astonishing and terrifying power.

With these Sword Intents, Tangyu also compared them with Yin Yang Swordsmanship and Langya Sword Art. Yin Yang Swordsmanship actually follows the Yin Yang Path, precisely not within Sword Dao, but uses the Yin Yang Path, the sword here is merely a tool, a medium.

Even without a sword, using a tree branch, it achieves the same.

Yet, in another sense, it can be said to belong to Sword Dao as Sword Dao encompasses all forms.

And the Langya Sword Art involves several all-encompassing Sword Intent forms, with the core artistic conception ’only speed breaks through’, yet can transform into other forms, the fusion forming this most feared ancient number one sword technique.

With so many new realizations integrated, Tangyu’s understanding of Langya Sword Art deepened several levels. Many previously obscure and difficult places now naturally became familiar.

Immersed in this wonderful feeling, lost track of time, suddenly disrupted by a voice, Tangyu felt a bit irritated, looked over.

It was a group approaching the area of Myriad Saints Hall, people from other three forces converging here, seeing this situation, Tangyu felt something was not quite right, so halted cultivation and approached Xie Lei.

Xie Lei and his group also prepared themselves. freёnovelkiss.com

A man in white looked at Xie Lei and said, "There is something our four factions need to sit down and have a good discussion about."

Xie Lei slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "Ming Huahong, what do you want to discuss?"

Ming Huahong smiled lightly and said, "Now that all of our Inner Sect Disciples have benefited from the sect and their strengths have significantly increased, many have reached the Ninth Layer of the Earthly Realm. So, perhaps it’s time to re-rank the Sacred List?"

"The Sacred List—" Xie Lei frowned and said, "Whether it needs re-ranking isn’t something we can decide, is it? If it should be decided, it should be by the leaders of our four factions."

Ming Huahong smiled and said, "Although we don’t have the final decision-making power, we still have the right to propose. On this matter, I have initially discussed it with Yu Xinyang and Ruan Wei. Let’s first get on the same page, and then we can have a detailed discussion, how about that?"

Xie Lei said, "If all of you agree, then Myriad Saints Hall has no objections either. Re-ranking the Sacred List is possible."

"Great, then it’s settled. Everyone should go back and discuss properly, and let our leaders meet as soon as possible to decide on a specific date," said Ming Huahong.

"Okay, I understand," Xie Lei said.

Only then did Ming Huahong and the others leave.

After seeing them off, Tangyu asked, "What is the Sacred List?"

Xie Lei curled his lips and said, "It’s a strength ranking list spontaneously organized by our Inner Sect Disciples. The Mysterious Clothes Association usually doesn’t participate, so it’s mainly managed by our four factions, although others are allowed to compete for spots on the Sacred List. The Sacred List has only twelve spots, and being recognized by it is a symbol of strength, and it earns everyone’s recognition. It’s considered a great honor. That’s why we four factions take the Sacred List quite seriously."

Only then did Tangyu realize, "I see, so have you made it onto the Sacred List, Xie Lei?"

Xie Lei said, "To my shame, I did make it, but it’s the twelfth position. Our Myriad Saints Hall occupies three spots on the Sacred List, the first, seventh, and my twelfth."

The leader of Myriad Saints Hall, Saint Heir, is a direct disciple of Dagu Yan, always very mysterious and immensely powerful.

The people of Myriad Saints Hall were quite excited about the matter of the Sacred List as well.

"This time, our Myriad Saints Hall can showcase our skills once again."

"Exactly, we are the strongest, and no one should think of overshadowing our Myriad Saints Hall by ranking the Sacred List."

"Looking forward to it, the contest for the Sacred List is definitely going to be exciting."

Xie Lei smiled at Tangyu and said, "Tangyu, you are also at the Ninth Layer of the Earthly Realm now. Why not join the Sacred List? With your strength, getting on the Sacred List shouldn’t be a problem. Haha, maybe you’ll set a new record; so far, no one outside our four major factions has ever made it onto the Sacred List."

"The Sacred List—" Tangyu curled his lips and let out a light laugh, "Interesting, it does sound like fun."

"Haha, exactly, it’s a perfect chance to show off, isn’t it? Let me arrange that for you," Xie Lei said.

Tangyu shook his head and said, "Actually, I’ve always wanted to take a low-profile route."

"Haha—" Xie Lei laughed, shameless.

Xie Lei said, "Tangyu, I have something to do so I’ll be going first; you continue your cultivation."

"Mm." Tangyu nodded, temporarily setting aside his thoughts, and continued to contemplate the stele.

The stele in the Sword Forest indeed greatly aided Tangyu’s cultivation, making him feel quite reluctant to leave. As he comprehended and cultivated the Langya Sword Art, this positive cycle naturally made his cultivation easier.

Immersed in the Sword Forest for cultivation, Tangyu naturally didn’t know that the Inner Gate was already bustling, with discussions about the re-ranking of the Sacred List everywhere.

The Sacred List’s status among the Inner Sect Disciples was unquestionable.

Now, with plans to re-rank it, it naturally became a top priority, with new updates emerging frequently.

The four sides, Shocking King Hall, Morning Sun Hall, and the Underworld Gods Group, having conferred extensively, finally finalized the re-ranking plan for the Sacred List.

Re-ranking naturally involves a bout of competition; only by competing in strength can a new ranking be established.

Thus, the battle plans and date were set, scheduled for seven days later.

With everything set, the remaining task was for the people of the four major factions to prepare anxiously and actively for this great battle. To participate in the Sacred List ranking contest, the minimum requirement was the Eighth Layer of the Earthly Realm. Others shouldn’t bother trying to participate.

The atmosphere was high everywhere, with everyone eagerly awaiting the advent of the battle day. Even many elders and stewards were happy to discuss it daily.

Of course, the hottest topic of discussion was the allocation of seats in this Dragon List and who would claim the first position on the Sacred List. These discussions were also tinged with a scent of gunpowder.
