Only after the other strange birds were done eating would a few other strange birds fly towards the mountain. They then changed shifts with the few strange birds guarding on the top level.
“So strict!” Yi Yun was completely speechless. They were just a bunch of birds, yet the management of their lookout post was similar to humans. It felt impenetrable.
What was he to do?
…
At the same time as Yi Yun was unable to obtain the treasure despite seeing it, in a sealed space in the first level of the God Advent Tower.
Shen Tu Nantian had already been wasting his time, sitting there for a few months.
His face was pale, his long hair was disheveled and his eyes seemed sunk in.
Over the past few months, he challenged the disk array images left behind by the black-armored warrior again and again. To him, it was a trampling to his body and soul.
Now, Shen Tu Nantian no longer had the look of a gentleman. The corner of his eyes were covered with blood stains, which made him look like a demon.
Shen Tu Nantian was extremely ambitious. And indeed, he worked very hard and put in all of his effort and expended his physical capacity. He ignored the effects on his soul and the backlash on his body from the disk array’s images so as to gain insight from this disk array. As long as he grasped the profound charm of the move, then his strength would suddenly increase by leap and bounds.
However, at this moment, Shen Tu Nantian had still not figured out the nomological principles in the attack that the black-armored warrior used.
Shen Tu Nantian felt indignant. He had not been able to see the laws in the disk array he chose. This was equivalent to wasting one of the opportunities in the Great Empress mystic realm.
How could Shen Tu Nantian accept this?
Again and again, Shen Tu Nantian tried continuously. He ignored the fact that his eyes were bleeding. He remained staring at the battle between the black-armored warrior and the Roc, despite the skin on his face seemingly being carved by a knife, forming blood marks.
Bam!
No miracle happened. At the moment the lance beam slashed through the horizon, Shen Tu Nantian was once again sent flying backwards.
“Peng!”
Shen Tu Nantian crashed into a wall as his nose and mouth were covered in blood.
Shen Tu Nantian was feeling anger in his heart. He believed that Yi Yun had likely found the solution. How could he take losing to Yi Yun, once again, lying down?
“Ah!”
Shen Tu Nantian let out a crazy cry. He suddenly unsheathed his sword and began to slash the empty void like crazy.
He felt a great sense of defeat as a result of the disk array.
“Cha! Cha! Cha!”
Sword beams poured out in all directions and lasted for nearly a minute. When Shen Tu Nantian finally calmed down, the ground and walls surrounding him were covered in overlapped sword scars.
These sword scars were not left behind because they had cut into the Great Empress mystic realm’s walls. In fact, the Great Empress mystic realm’s walls were impregnable. These sword scars were left behind because the sword Qi lingered without dissipating.
“This is…”
Shen Tu Nantian was stunned. These sword Qi were sharper than usual. They even contained a hard to describe sharpness and forcefulness. This was a form of sword intent. It was as if, after being suppressed for so long, his indignation and anger had transformed into a sword intent from the explosive feelings he had from despair!
Sword Intent was the will of the sword Dao. When Shen Tu Nantian was able to fully inject his will into the sword, then he could display the sword intent.
This result made Shen Tu Nantian shocked. If it was during normal times, at his peak, the sword Qi he produced was stronger than what he did now, but it lacked in a such forceful sword intent.
“To think about it, I should not have been able to last for so long, but now, I am still standing here…” Previously, all of Shen Tu Nantian’s thoughts and focus had been gathered on the disk array, while he did not focus on his body. However, now, he suddenly realized that, imperceptibly, his energy had been greatly tempered. The most important thing was that under the tough training for the last few months, his soul energy and determination had greatly increased.
For a swordsman, these two points were very important.
“Hahaha!” Shen Tu Nantian suddenly laughed recklessly after a short moment of pause. “Yes, although I did not manage to gain insight from the disk array, it has given me an opportunity to hone myself. These few months of cultivating was greatly beneficial for me. I have cultivated for more than twenty years and my Yuan Qi is thick. I have no lack in moves, but when it comes to sword intent and soul power, those are indeed my weaknesses. Now however, they’ve been enhanced!”
Shen Tu Nantian was overjoyed. This was an unexpected outcome. It was something that came by not searching for it!
He looked at the disk array left behind by the black-armored warrior once again.
