After glancing a few times, Yun Fan did not disturb the young man. He then approached another stone tablet, where four large characters shone brightly: Blazing Sword Technique.
This martial art unleashed a fiery brilliance that obscured the sky, as if it were burning the heavens and earth, showcasing terrifying destructive power.
Yun Fan turned his gaze to the last inheritance manual, Jiu Xiao Sword Technique. A shock ran through him; it was the foremost of the three great legacies of the Heavenly Sword Sect. It was said that when wielded, it illuminated the nine heavens and could annihilate opponents with a single strike. This manual was renowned for its extreme lethality, earning its title as the top among the three inheritance manuals.
However, learning this martial art was exceedingly difficult. It was rumored that only the sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect could comprehend this manual; others simply could not grasp its essence. To learn this technique, one must first understand Sword Intent, possessing profound insights into swordsmanship to have any chance of comprehending Jiu Xiao Sword Technique. Even if one understood Sword Intent, lacking deep comprehension of swordsmanship would render them unable to grasp it.
After pondering for a moment, Yun Fan decided to attempt to comprehend Jiu Xiao Sword Technique because he too favored extreme lethality and wished to crush his enemies effortlessly. He immediately sat cross-legged beside the stone tablet, calming his mind as he began to delve into the intricacies of Jiu Xiao Sword Technique, which began to unfold in his mind.
The young man sitting by the stone tablet sensed Yun Fan's attempt to comprehend Jiu Xiao Sword Technique and furrowed his brow in surprise. He hadn't expected this kid to be so bold; he truly wasn't afraid of death for daring to study this martial art.
It should be noted that Jiu Xiao Sword Technique was known as the first manual of the Heavenly Sword Sect—not only was its power formidable, but its comprehension was also extremely challenging. It was easy to fall into madness and suffer backlash from attempting it, making one seem like a lunatic. Many young geniuses were aware of this manual and, due to their arrogant nature, attempted to comprehend it only to end up going mad.
Quickly, fear spread among them, leading many to abandon their pursuit of Jiu Xiao Sword Technique in favor of understanding the other two inheritance manuals. Although those were also difficult to comprehend, they were significantly easier than Jiu Xiao Sword Technique.
Some Tian Jiao Disciples and Elders were still able to grasp it. The young man observed Yun Fan's efforts without intending to interrupt him; he silently prayed that this kid would have better luck and avoid backlash from his comprehension.
He continued focusing on the Sky Shadow Sword Technique before him. After half a year of contemplation, he had vaguely touched upon its threshold; given more time, he was confident he would master it.
A month passed quietly!
The young man slowly opened his eyes, a smile of excitement gracing his lips as he finally completed his understanding of Sky Shadow Sword Technique and gained control over a powerful weapon.
He stood up slowly and glanced at Yun Fan, who was still immersed in his comprehension. Not wishing to disturb him, he stepped away and vanished from sight, soon reappearing on the third floor of Cangjingge.
The young man approached Ma Yi Elder with a serious expression, clasping his fists in respect.
"I have met Gu Yue Elder," he said.
Ma Yi Elder glanced at the young man, his stern face revealing a hint of a smile.
"Little Madman, impressive indeed! In just half a year, you've managed to comprehend the Sky Shadow Sword Technique. Such talent surpasses that of your father by far. When your father grasped this sword technique, it took him three whole years."
The young man scratched his head with a grin, appearing somewhat pleased with himself. However, he still maintained an air of respect as he slowly replied, "All of this is thanks to Gu Yue Elder's guidance. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known when I would finally understand this Sword Technique Manual."
