In the command room of a military base in a large military region of Southern Yue, a middle-aged man with a big beard, dark skin, and a square jaw was sitting in front of a soldier who was reporting the news.
This person was the general of Southern Yue, Ruan Shiben!
Ever since his son, Ruan Changhong, was killed by a Huaxia man named John Doe, Ruan Shiben had been paying attention to the situation in Huaxia, especially in Huaxia Wulin.
Of course, he also pressured the Huaxia government, asking them to hand over the murderer, John Doe.
However, the official response of Huaxia was that there was no citizen named John Doe in Huaxia, and the government of Southern Yue couldn’t provide any evidence to prove that the murderer of Ruan Changhong was from Huaxia!
Under these circumstances, although Ruan Shiben was angry, he couldn’t do anything. He could only secretly send people to follow the movements of Huaxia Wulin, especially John Doe’s every move.
“Report!” The soldier stood straight in front of Ruan Shiben, gave him the standard military salute of Southern Yue, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice, “We’ve got the news. According to the information on the Huaxia Wulin forum, it’s certain that John Doe has returned to Huaxia!”
Ruan Shiben stood up instantly and roared angrily. “What? How did he go back? I told you that you were not allowed to let go of even a fly in the country. Who let him run away?”
In the command room, everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
They had monitored all the airports, stations, and ports, but did not find any trace of John Doe. They didn’t have a clue how John Doe managed to return to Huaxia.
“John Doe, John Doe!!!” Ruan Shiben shouted John Doe’s name over and over again with rage. He stormed. “One day, I will kill you to avenge my son’s death! Just you wait!”
His indignant voice echoed in the conference room for a long time.
In the Sword-hidden Mountain of Hua Xia, four days passed.
More and more people came to the Sword-hidden Mountain, so the number of people who came to appreciate the Sword Enlightenment Stele was increasing. However, it did not affect Fang Qiu at all. He continued meditating to comprehend.
After four days, Fang Qiu still got nothing.
However, after a period of meditation, he gradually connected with the Qi of Heaven and Earth here and even had a feeling of integrating into it.
It might be extremely arduous for others, but it was not so difficult for Fang Qiu.
In addition to his great strength, Fang Qiu still had incomparably strong spiritual power and mental power.
Spiritual power was the best power to connect with the Qi of Heaven and Earth.
With the help of strong spiritual force, it was obviously much simpler and more effective for Fang Qiu to connect with the Qi of Heaven and Earth.
However, even though he had integrated with the Qi of Heaven and Earth here, Fang Qiu still gained nothing when it came to comprehending the Sword Enlightenment Stele just like the past three days.
However, he was not discouraged.
Just like what he had said to Long Qiyun, he came here to give it a try. As for whether or not he could obtain this opportunity, it was hard to tell.
What he had to do was to employ the correct method, follow the senior’s advice, sitting there to meditate in front of the Sword Enlightenment Stele for seven days.
If he could get it, he would get it, but if he couldn’t, he would leave!
Therefore, Fang Qiu didn’t move and continued to meditate.
In the blink of an eye, it came to the fifth day.
Fang Qiu still gained nothing, but he remained motionless. He kept calm and continued to meditate quietly.
Under the scorching sun, many people who had come to meditate by following the trend began to become impatient as they still obtained nothing.
These people were so restless that they couldn’t calm down, so they failed to continue to meditate. They could only quietly stand up, studying the stele without making any sound.
No one dared to touch the stele, let alone disturbing John Doe.
After all, everyone knew that they couldn’t defeat John Doe.
Moreover, John Doe was known for his ruthlessness in Wulin. He could even destroy an entire sect, let alone second-rate forces or individuals like them.
Some people failed to keep calm while someone else managed to do it.
Those who were patient continued to meditate.
Under the circumstances, time passed quickly. It was now the sixth day.
Just like before, Fang Qiu, who had been meditating for six days in a row, still got nothing.
Even though there was only one day left before he reached the last day, Fang Qiu didn’t feel agitated at all. On the contrary, he became calmer and calmer, given that he had integrated with the Qi of Heaven and Earth in this area.
But others were different.
There were many people who lost patience the day before. Today, more people became restless.
Many people who had been meditating for three or four days gave up one after another. They all stood up to relax and observe, trying to calm themselves down and find another chance to meditate again.
At the same time, everyone was waiting anxiously on the Wulin forum.
“That’s weird. How come there is no news these days?”
“Where are those martial artists in the Sword-hidden Mountain? Give me some news.”
“Has anyone comprehended anything?”
“What can they comprehend? Legends are legends. Maybe Sword Enlightenment Stele in the mountain is fake.”
“It has been more than 2,000 years. From the time Emperor Qin ruled the country to now, endless experts appeared in Huaxia in so many years. Even they haven’t figured it out. How could anyone comprehend it in this technological era?”
“Whether it’s true or not, I just want to know what the current situation in the Sword-hidden Mountain is?”
Netizens were having a heated discussion on the Wulin forum.
It was the seventh day.
At six o’clock in the morning, the sky turned bright, and it was just dawn.
“Alas…” Sitting in front of Sword Enlightenment Stele, Fang Qiu sighed softly.
This was the last day.
He knew what the senior who guarded the sword said was right. Seven days was the limit. If he couldn’t comprehend anything after seven days, then there would be no hope.
There was still some time left.
Whether he could succeed or not depended on this day.
Although time was running out, Fang Qiu was not restless in the slightest.
He continued to meditate peacefully.
From dawn to dusk, it seemed that only a minute had passed.
As Fang Qiu opened his eyes again, it was already dusk.
“It’s been seven days. Alas!” Fang Qiu opened his eyes and looked at the darkening sky. He sighed softly and then stood up.
So far, he still got nothing.
“It seems that the divine sword has nothing to do with me.” Looking at the Sword Enlightenment Stele, Fang Qiu said to himself.
As far as he was concerned, the legend of the Sword-hidden Mountain was no longer a legend, but an actual fact because of the sword guard.
Since there was a sword guard, the legend proved to be true!
However, this divine sword had nothing to do with him.
As Fang Qiu made a move, all the Wulin people around immediately looked over.
Seeing John Doe who had not moved for seven days suddenly stood up, everyone was stunned at first. However, as they saw the depressed look on John Doe’s face, they secretly rejoiced.
“It seems that John Doe has not comprehended it.”
“That’s great. John Doe is a strong competitor. Since he hasn’t comprehended it, then we’ll have a fair chance.”
“Now it’s our chance. Since John Doe can’t comprehend it, maybe we can.”
“I didn’t expect that even a genius like John Doe couldn’t comprehend it. With our aptitude, it’s even more impossible!”
Everyone had their own thoughts.
Some were secretly overjoyed while others found it challenging.
Instead of caring about people’s excessive attention to him, Fang Qiu just stood there quietly in front of the Sword Enlightenment Stele and continued to look up at the huge black stele.
At this time, the sun already set.
Facing the stele, Fang Qiu thought of something. He murmured to himself, “Sword-hidden Mountain. Sword Enlightenment Stele. Since it’s Sword-hidden Mountain, it should have the best sword in the world. Since it’s the Sword Enlightenment Stele, it should keep the best sword intent in the world.”
“Divine sword, since I don’t have the luck to own you, I dare to show you the sword move that I comprehended on the sea before I leave. Please have a look!”
With that thought in mind, Fang Qiu’s expression changed.
All the Qi of Heaven and Earth in the surroundings condensed, and naturally, it condensed into a long silver sword above Fang Qiu’s head.
It was so smooth that Fang Qiu didn’t even make a move or try to activate it.
This move was formed naturally.
The moment the long silver sword was formed above Fang Qiu’s head, it directly slashed at the black Sword Enlightenment Stele in front of him in the air!
Although this move was learned by Fang Qiu himself, it was not simple to make it. The reason why Fang Qiu didn’t even move his hand was that he applied the method that the sword guard told him.
During these seven days, Fang Qiu had been connecting with the Qi of Heaven and Earth in this area. Because of his strong spiritual power, he already integrated with the Qi of Heaven and Earth here.
It was also because Fang Qiu had cultivated here for seven days that he could exert the greatest power of this move at this moment.
He only needed to use his spiritual power to make this move!
The silver sword slashed in the air.
A gust of invisible sword Qi shot out. Just as it was about to hit the Sword Enlightenment Stele, the sword Qi suddenly disappeared.
No one around noticed this because all this was demonstrated by Fang Qiu in the void.
He didn’t mobilize his internal Qi at all. It was just a thought.
The sword Qi dissipated.
Fang Qiu held a fist salute to the stele, ready to leave.
“Buzz!” Right at this moment, a strange sound was heard!
As the sound rang out, the black stele in front of Fang Qiu suddenly shone, which was not black, but silver.
As the light appeared, the whole sky was instantly lit up!
Meanwhile, a huge sword shadow rose from the Sword Enlightenment Stele.
It was a huge, transparent, diamond-like giant sword figure!
As the sword figure appeared, all the people present couldn’t help shivering. They couldn’t help but want to worship it.
Everyone was extremely shocked!
“Is… is there really a divine sword?”
“The divine sword has appeared! It really shows up!”
“Divine sword? Is this the divine sword? There really is such a treasure here!”
“How is this possible? Who? Who on earth comprehended the divine sword? Who is it?”
