Sole Sword Supremacy-Chapter 603 - 607: Comprehending Sword Dao, The Path to Entering the Dao

Chapter 603: Chapter 607: Comprehending Sword Dao, The Path to Entering the Dao

Hai Feng was on the verge of madness!

Receiving news of the Empress being kidnapped, Hai Feng completely disregarded everyone else and rushed back like a madman.

The death of Prince Yu had already filled him with shame, and now with the Empress in danger, he felt as if his insides were burning. To Hai Feng, the Empress’s safety was more important than his own life.

After returning to the palace, Hai Feng didn’t even bother to meet the Emperor and headed straight to Kunning Palace.

The terrifying aura of a Saint Realm powerhouse descended, instantly causing the expressions of those surrounding Kunning Palace to change dramatically.

"Wang Junze, get out here!"

Even before he arrived, Hai Feng’s furious roar had already spread throughout Kunning Palace.

In an instant, the Empress, who was in the bath, couldn’t help but change her expression slightly and subconsciously glanced at Wang Junze.

At this moment, Wang Junze had already completely entered a cultivation state, putting all his focus on refining the Creation Golden Lotus. Even Hai Feng’s arrival couldn’t cause any change in Wang Junze. The Empress even suspected that Wang Junze had completely shut off his five senses, unaware of everything happening outside.

Hearing Hai Feng’s voice, the Empress almost immediately had the thought of letting Hai Feng in to save her.

It must be known, that to the Empress, Hai Feng was someone she truly trusted unconditionally. In this situation, she feared others knowing about it, but she was absolutely not afraid that Hai Feng would say anything.

If only Hai Feng were to break in and kill Wang Junze, she could naturally retrieve her clothing and safely escape.

But... was Wang Junze really unaware of everything around him?

What if it was all an act by Wang Junze?

Once Hai Feng breaks in, Wang Junze might choose to fight to the death, and by then, Hai Feng may not be able to save her life. Moreover, once a fight breaks out and the palace is damaged, she wouldn’t have time to get dressed, exposing the truth to everyone’s eyes.

This would absolutely be an unacceptable outcome for the Empress.

With such a thought swiftly turning in her mind, the Empress quickly made a decision.

"Stand back! Hai Feng, are you trying to get me killed?"

Taking a deep breath, the Empress fiercely yelled.

Hai Feng, who had already intended to charge into the palace, abruptly halted at the sound of the Empress’s voice, forcing himself to stop.

"Your servant wouldn’t dare. Your Majesty, are you alright?"

No matter what, being able to hear the Empress’s voice, Hai Feng breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the Empress was still alive, there was still hope.

"Withdraw, without my word, no one is allowed to approach!"

The Empress scolded once more.

This statement inevitably led people to think that Wang Junze had absolute confidence. Even if a Saint Realm powerhouse acted, he could kill the Empress in the first instant, hence the Empress was compelled to dismiss others due to his threats.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, your servant will guard outside."

Gritting his teeth, Hai Feng bowed and responded.

Immediately, a touch of crazed killing intent flashed in Hai Feng’s eyes as he voiced his threat once more: "Wang Junze, I swear by my life, if you dare harm a single hair on my master, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth for life and eternity!"

No one knew how effective such a threat would be on Wang Junze, but it was indeed the only thing Hai Feng could do at the moment.

...

Wang Junze actually had no idea what was happening outside.

The effects of the Creation Golden Lotus were simply too strong.

Time was pressing, and Wang Junze couldn’t, like Su Yuwei, slowly refine it piece by piece; swallowing it all at once and not exploding was already a testament to Wang Junze’s foundation far exceeding that of average cultivators.

But even so, it was still extremely dangerous, as both his body and Divine Soul were being forced to absorb this power at a highly overloaded state.

It’s no exaggeration to say that for Wang Junze, the only path to survival was to break through Entering the Path.

Only breaking through Entering the Path with the aid of a Great Realm leap could help him refine the excessive medicinal power; otherwise, if he failed, his only end would be to explode and perish.

Currently, his entire mindscape was boiling, the Sword Soul madly devouring the power of the Creation Golden Lotus, propelling his Divine Soul to continuously grow stronger.

However, in terms of Divine Soul strength, Wang Junze had already reached the critical point for a breakthrough.

However, entering the path required more than just True Qi and a strong Divine Soul; it also needed insight into the Great Path.

If it were an ordinary cultivator who could consolidate a Sword Domain, even just in embryonic form, it would absolutely be enough to break through; but for Wang Junze, it was far from simple.

The Sword Dao he perceived was so numerous and so varied!

The breakthrough for entering the path was essentially an insight into the Great Path; the simpler the insight into the Great Path, the easier it was to break through, albeit the post-path strength and ceiling would be lower.

Conversely, the deeper and more complex the insight into the Great Path, the harder the breakthrough.

Previously, taking advantage of the Fallen Demon state, Wang Junze forcibly amalgamated all Sword Dao into one, re-shaping the embryonic form of the Sword Domain, and though domineering, it indeed left significant hidden dangers.

Now, to break through, he must address this hidden danger, truly arranging the Sword Dao into form; otherwise, mixed various Sword Daos would make a breakthrough utterly impossible.

With adequate time, this would not be difficult for Wang Junze; after all, in terms of Sword Dao talent, Wang Junze was unquestionably among the best in the world, and for him, entering the path was not really an obstacle.

However, structuring it in such a short time magnified the difficulty tenfold, or even a hundredfold.

Fortunately, the three months in Wenhua Pavilion studying the Sword Manual also allowed Wang Junze to elevate his understanding of Sword Dao further, subtly touching upon his own Sword Dao path.

For Wang Junze, concepts like Rain Sword Intent, Water Sword Intent, Slaughter Sword Intent, and Profound Moon Sword Intent were merely superficial!

Any one of these Sword Intents might suffice for a common cultivator to easily enter the path, but they were far from enough for Wang Junze’s envisioned Sword Domain.

His foundational and core understanding of Sword Dao was essentially Chess Swordsmanship!

In a way, these Sword Intents, like the Sword Manuals he had perused in Wenhua Pavilion, bore no essential difference; they were all tools to enhance his understanding of Chess Swordsmanship.

Previously, Wang Junze had let these introspections on Sword Intents steer him into a blind alley, onto a misguided path.

But now, be it the Fallen Demon state, or his study at Wenhua Pavilion, or even the previous battle with Feng Bao, had gradually awakened Wang Junze. Coupled with the Creation Golden Lotus’s aid in Enlightenment, it truly steered Wang Junze back to the right track.

The Five Sword Techniques of Chess Swordsmanship constantly emerged in his mind, seemingly coalescing into one, yet gradually blurring and disseminating.

Unknowingly, the Sword Domain naturally manifested once more around Wang Junze, with various Sword Intents continuously shifting, giving the Sword Domain a tendency to slowly take shape...
