The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 888 - 886: Mo Wen Sword!

Chapter 888: Chapter 886: Mo Wen Sword!

Comprehension of Divine Powers within the Sword Art Academy’s Divine Skill Valley.

Lower Grade Divine Power, 10,000 points per session.

Middle Grade Divine Power, 50,000 points per session.

Higher Grade Divine Power, 100,000 points per session.

And a single move of the Mo Wen Sword demands 100,000 points for each attempt at comprehension.

Lin Bai clicked his tongue and said, "That’s exactly the same price as the Higher Grade Divine Powers."

Dugu Yun said, "Yes, a single sword technique of the Mo Wen Sword is equivalent to a Higher Grade Divine Power."

"But Lin Bai, you must understand, the Mo Wen Sword is a set of swordsmanship. Once a disciple fully comprehends all nine sword techniques, its power will far surpass that of ordinary Higher Grade Divine Powers!"

"After all, it’s the Sword Art Academy’s Supreme Sword Technique!"

"Without any exaggeration, this Mo Wen Sword is the most powerful sword technique on the entire Miracle Ridge!"

"Even if someday you go to the Five Peaks or Lingnan, the Mo Wen Sword could still be your capital for battles!"

Dugu Yun said indifferently.

Lin Bai’s shocked thoughts cooled down, and he began to slowly ponder the value of the Mo Wen Sword.

Just as Dugu Yun had said, the Mo Wen Sword was a set of swordsmanship complete with sword secrets, inner methods, and footwork. Once someone fully fused and comprehended the Mo Wen Sword, they could walk across the Miracle Ridge with impunity.

In the past, Ye Jinghong relied on this sword technique to dominate the Miracle Ridge within just seven days, and even the Sect Leader Supreme and all the high-ranking Elders were no match for Ye Jinghong’s sword!

"If I could learn this Supreme Sword Technique! Then becoming a Saint of the Five Peaks of the Miracle Ridge would be at my fingertips!"

Lin Bai looked at the nine stone steles inside the Melting Cave, his eyes gradually narrowing.

"The Mo Wen Sword, since it can be called the Sword Art Academy’s Supreme Sword, must have extraordinary features!"

"This set of sword techniques could very likely become my capital for combat on the Miracle Ridge!"

Lin Bai pondered softly to himself.

To be honest, Lin Bai was tempted.

But the last concern was that comprehending the Mo Wen Sword was too expensive!

Comprehension of one move required 100,000 points!

With the Mo Wen Sword having a total of nine techniques, and excluding the first one that Lin Bai had already learned, the remaining eight would need 800,000 points!

800,000 points!

Where could Lin Bai find so many points!

Currently, Lin Bai had just over 10,000 points on him!

Seeing Lin Bai pondering over the nine stone steles, Dugu Yun smiled and said, "Lin Bai, it’s not just anyone who has the privilege of comprehending the Mo Wen Sword!"

"The Mo Wen Sword, known as the Sword Art Academy’s Supreme Sword Technique, contains sword principles that not just any warrior can understand!"

"In the past, the Mo Wen Sword was made available for all disciples of the Sword Art Academy to comprehend!"

"Unfortunately, some disciples lacked the talent and their minds were not steady. After three days of comprehending it in front of the Mo Wen Sword, they lost their minds and turned into lunatics!"

"Since then, the Sword Art Academy has made a rule!"

"Only by becoming the Chief Disciple of the Sword Art Academy does one qualify to comprehend the Mo Wen Sword!"

"Or one must attain the rank of Dean to be eligible for comprehension!"

"Others, even the high-ranking Elders, even if they have 100,000 points, cannot come here to comprehend the Mo Wen Sword!"

Dugu Yun said with a gentle smile.

After hearing this, Lin Bai exclaimed in surprise, "There’s such a high threshold to comprehend the Mo Wen Sword! Only the Dean and the Chief Disciple of the Sword Art Academy are qualified to comprehend it?"

Dugu Yun lightly laughed and said, "That’s right."

Lin Bai felt somewhat disheartened.

Hearing the threshold for comprehending the Mo Wen Sword laid out by Dugu Yun, Lin Bai realized he was completely unqualified.

"What a pity!"

"It seems that I will have to miss out on this peerless sword technique."

Lin Bai looked at the nine stone steles with regret.

The moment Dugu Yun revealed the threshold for the Mo Wen Sword, Lin Bai felt it was an immense shame!

100,000 points, Lin Bai could find a way to exchange for.

But being unable to comprehend the Mo Wen Sword was undoubtedly a significant loss for any Sword Cultivator.

Dugu Yun smiled and said, "Lin Bai, I can offer you a special privilege. As long as you have 100,000 points, you can come here to comprehend the Mo Wen Sword!"

Lin Bai exclaimed with surprise, "Really?"

Dugu Yun smiled and said, "Of course it’s true!"

"But you must promise me that once I grant you this privilege, you will wholeheartedly commit to comprehending the Mo Wen Sword, no matter how many difficulties you encounter along the way, you cannot give up!"

"You can’t just stop coming to comprehend it because you think the second move is too difficult!"

"That won’t do!"

Dugu Yun said with a faint smile.

Lin Bai smiled and said, "If I have the opportunity to comprehend the Mo Wen Sword, then naturally I won’t give up. No matter how difficult this Supreme Sword Technique is, I will persevere in my comprehension!"

"After all, my goal is not the Sword Art Academy, it’s the Five Pinnacle Saint, it’s Su Yanhua!"

"I need powerful strength and trump cards to contend for the Five Peaks!"

Lin Bai said with a light smile.

Dugu Yun said, "So it turns out you came to the Miracle Ridge to become one of the Five Pinnacle Saints. Well, that’s perfect. If you want to compete for the title of Saint, the Mo Wen Sword could indeed become a great help on this path!"

"To speak frankly, if you can learn all the Nine Sword Techniques of the Mo Wen Sword, on the Miracle Ridge, you could walk sideways! Even the three Sect Leader Supremes would be unable to do anything to you!"

"At that time, you’ll be able to go wherever you want, see whoever you want to see!"

After hearing this, Lin Bai’s heart also burnt with fervor.

His craving for the Mo Wen Sword climbed another level in his heart.

Lin Bai then asked, "But Senior Dugu Yun, didn’t you say that only the Chief Disciple and the Dean of Sword Art Academy can comprehend the Mo Wen Sword?"

"If you grant me this privilege, won’t it cause an uproar within the Sword Art Academy?"

"If the Elders are dissatisfied, it will be hard for you to step down with dignity!"

Dugu Yun laughed and said, "How rare, you’re actually considering my situation!"

Lin Bai said with a smile, "If granting me this privilege causes you any trouble, I would rather not have it. When I become the Chief Disciple of the Sword Art Academy one day, I will naturally come and learn."

Dugu Yun laughed and said, "Since you have such confidence in becoming the Chief Disciple of the Sword Art Academy, what’s wrong with me granting you the rights of the Chief Disciple now?"

"Don’t worry, Lin Bai. Even if they find out at the Elder Pavilion, I have ways to seal their mouths!"

"I am granting you this privilege today in the hope that you will not disappoint me!"

"You must comprehend the Mo Wen Sword well!"

"Lin Bai, I ask you one last time, do you want this privilege to comprehend the Mo Wen Sword?"

Dugu Yun asked Lin Bai with a most solemn expression.

Lin Bai fell into silence, his face showing puzzlement.

Lin Bai was very much aware that once he agreed to Dugu Yun, he could not stop.

The condition set by Dugu Yun was simple. Once Lin Bai was granted this privilege, he had to keep comprehending the Mo Wen Sword. If Lin Bai’s talent wasn’t enough and he couldn’t grasp it, he might well be trapped within the Sword Art Academy for life!

This was a choice!

To Lin Bai, the Mo Wen Sword represented an opportunity!

After pondering for a long while, Lin Bai looked up resolutely at Dugu Yun and said, "I want it! I want this privilege, I want to comprehend the Mo Wen Sword!"

"Good!"

Hearing Lin Bai accept, Dugu Yun was overjoyed, his face glowing with delight as he looked at Lin Bai.

It was as if he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Lin Bai said, "Senior Dugu Yun, now that I have agreed to your conditions and demands, I have a question I’d like to ask you, if I may?"

Dugu Yun said with a smile, "Ask away. I will tell you everything I can answer!"

Lin Bai smiled slightly, looked at Dugu Yun with a serious expression, and asked, "Why choose me?"

"Out of 200,000 disciples in Sword Art Academy, why did you single me out?"

"Why grant me this special privilege to comprehend the Mo Wen Sword?"

"Why?"

Lin Bai inquired.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yun said gravely, "Because I feel that you are very similar to Ye Jinghong!"

"If there’s anyone Under Heaven who could grasp the profound mysteries of the Mo Wen Sword’s Sword Art, I believe it can only be you!"
