Chapter 885: Chapter 880: What If It Succeeds? (5 updates)

Outside the Forest of Thousands Swords, the throngs of people had already turned to statues!!!

Nobody was discussing, nobody was breathing, not even the sound of heartbeats could be heard.

Only an awe-inspiring silence pervaded, filled with trembling terror.

The achievements Su Chen now had in the Forest of Thousands Swords had completely broken through the limits of thought, the limits of the soul...

Anything said or done could no longer express their emotions.

Above the sky.

Heyue Nishang took a deep breath, her delicate body trembling.

She was, after all, thoroughly moved.

No one knew better than her just how terrifying the Sword Mud Swamp of the Jiantong Forest was.

Back then, she even despaired within the Sword Mud Swamp to the extent of screaming frantically, having a mental breakdown, and even crying, of course, all of these were her secrets which she would never share with anyone.

The Sword Mud Swamp was one of the few terrifying shadows in her heart, although this shadow had already been shattered by her.

But that was enough to illustrate just how horrifying the Sword Mud Swamp truly was.

However.

Su Chen had passed through the Sword Mud Swamp of the Jiantong Forest in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!

Heyue Nishang really didn’t know how to describe her current mood, feeling an urge to curse and swear.

"Heyue Nishang, exactly what kind of monster did you bring back?" The Great Elder Yuu Tianyi was nearly in tears as he looked towards Heyue Nishang, "The emergence of Su Chen, I feel, is targeting the entire Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, and even the entire Buddha Domain. Knowing this young boy, is a tragedy."

"Perhaps, young boy Su can not only bring glory to the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect but might even change the landscape of the Buddha Domain and even the pattern that the Fierce Domain has been suppressing the Buddha Domain for countless years," the Sect Master said, his face flushing red with a hint of solemnity.

"Sect Master, I am even more looking forward to the kind of revelations the monster will have when comprehending the Martial Path God Stele," said Heyue Nishang suddenly, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.

As Heyue Nishang mentioned the Martial Path God Stele, the Sect Master and the twelve elders all trembled.

Indeed!

What if Su Chen were to comprehend the Martial Path God Stele?!!!

With the monster-like talent showcased by Su Chen.

It’s possible he could even comprehend Desolate-Level top martial skills, cultivation techniques, and even the legendary ancient divine powers, secret techniques, forbidden curses, right?

By that time, Su Chen could casually pass a book to the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, and the sect might rise against the heavens and leave the other five great first-class powers far behind.

"There’s half a year left before the Martial Path God Stele opens," Heyue Nishang said gravely.

"Half a year?" The Sect Master lowered his breath, "During this half year, I remind everyone, no matter what Su Chen needs, we must fulfill it all costs, spare nothing to elevate young boy Su’s strength further and further. When the Martial Path God Stele opens, he will not disappoint us."

Heyue Nishang and the twelve elders all nodded heavily.

Without hesitation.

Unwavering in their resolve.

At this moment.

Inside the Forest of Thousands Swords.

Su Chen was standing on a platform that was shaped like the Yin Yang Poles.

The platform of the Yin Yang Poles was constructed of Sword Light.

Su Chen stood atop it.

The Yin side was emitting an extreme Yin coldness!!! Chilling! Icy! Sharp Yin Light! They kept sweeping past Su Chen!

And the Yang side, it was emitting an extreme Yang heat!!! Scorching! Fiery Edge! Lines of Fire! They kept sweeping past Su Chen!

Yin and Yang.

Cold and Heat.

If it were another Martial Cultivator standing on it, they would likely die in an instant.

Even Su Chen was having a tough time.

His physical body was almost always melting, breaking apart.

His blood almost always steaming, freezing.

His bones almost always turning to powder, softening.

And it was only thanks to his nearly undying healing power, Temporal Heavenly Dao, and Divine Mansion.

Otherwise, Su Chen would have long been dead.

"Sword Dao?" Su Chen’s face was bloodless, as if he were a corpse that had been dead for countless years.

"Sword Dao? Dao? Yin and Yang? Extremes?" Su Chen murmured to himself, "What is Sword Dao? What is my Sword Dao? Isn’t the path of Sword Dao the same as Sword Intent?"

The next moment.

Su Chen suddenly shook his head, then smiled, "What are cold, hot, yin, yang, extremes... all misguiding, perhaps? My Sword Dao, is just two words—True Heart. I’ve been thinking too complicatedly."

True Heart.

That is Su Chen’s Dao.

My heart, understanding and willing, I can slay from thousands miles away, drench the land with blood for myriads of miles.

My heart, when not understanding and unwilling, I would even give up killing an ant.

My heart, when understanding and willing, even if I must search the heavens above or the Yellow Springs below, I shall find you.

My heart, when not understanding and unwilling, even if you stand before my eyes, I shall ignore you.

This is the path of Su Chen.

In pursuit of the true heart.

All this time, he has never changed his own path.

Nor will he now, standing on the Yin Yang Platform, be swayed by cold or heat, extremes, or any other confounding factors.

He understands now.

Su Chen smiles.

With a fierce shout, he proclaims: "My path is my true heart! Break for me!!!"

As his voice falls.

In an instant.

The Yin Yang Platform beneath him vanishes without a trace.

All the cold and heat, gone without a trace.

Su Chen’s mind is crystal clear, his state of mind pure, and his Sword Intent, tempered to perfection.

The Unyielding Sword Intent grows stronger.

"Fourfold," murmurs Su Chen, a satisfied smile on his lips.

Outside the Forest of Thousands Swords.

The watching elders and the sea of people have been completely numb by now.

Others, even Heyue Nishang, took increasingly longer to pass each layer of the Sword Forest.

But Su Chen, on the contrary, was faster with each layer.

He even passed the fifth level in the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn.

How can one compare?

Ants and Divine Dragons, how can one compare.

And what’s more terrifying is that Su Chen has not yet reached his limit.

It seems...

That the legendary sixth and seventh layers, at this rate, Su Chen might indeed have a chance.

In the sky.

"Do you remember the ancestral teachings?" the Sect Leader suddenly asked.

As the Sect Leader spoke, the twelve elders and Heyue Nishang all trembled and turned pale.

The Fourth Elder said shakily, "Sect Leader, you... you mean that Sword Rhythm Seed?!!!"

"Yes, that very Sword Rhythm Seed!" the Sect Leader declared, each word deliberate: "The old ancestors left a teaching that if one day someone passes all seven layers of the Forest of Thousands Swords, the Sword Rhythm Seed should be bestowed upon them."

"Sect Leader, do you think Su Chen... could... could pass the seventh layer? Clear it?" The Fourth Elder’s teeth were chattering.

"It’s not impossible," nodded the Sect Leader.

"Sect Leader, the sixth and seventh layers are so much harder than the previous five," said Heyue Nishang. "Even if Su Chen passed the previous five layers with ease, I don’t believe he can pass the sixth and seventh layers."

Others didn’t have the right to speak, but she did.

Because, back in the day, she was defeated on the sixth layer.

And in an instant, just an instant, she was defeated.

In just an instant, she was eliminated by the sixth layer.

She knew very well, although the first five layers were as hard as scaling the heavens, the gap between the fifth and sixth layers was like ten heavens apart.

Hence, from the bottom of her heart, she believed it was impossible for Su Chen to pass the sixth and seventh layers.

Even more, she believed, in this world, no one could.

The sixth and seventh layers are truly beyond human, at least, not something humans from the Mid Martial Plane could vainly wish for.

"What if he succeeds?" the Sect Leader asked with a smile.

Heyue Nishang smiled bitterly.

The twelve elders all smiled bitterly as well. After all, there must be a limit to everything, right? The Sect Leader couldn’t possibly expect Su Chen to have no limits, could he?

However, they said nothing.

After all, the outcome would soon be known, wouldn’t it?

In their hearts, Su Chen has already proven himself with his endlessly fierce performance through the five layers, proven that he possesses talent for martial cultivation surpassing Heyue Nishang, and that was completely enough, absolutely enough.

The sixth and seventh layers, they won’t frivolously expect Su Chen to continue creating miracles. One should know when to be content.
