Pa!

That old man casually slapped Old Ghost Fu on the head: "Where are your eyes looking, kid? The techniques of a great expert are carved right here on this stone wall. As long as one comprehends the true meaning upon it, one will certainly be able to achieve Great Perfection of True Meaning."

Upon hearing these words, everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look at the stone wall.

They saw that strange and peculiar moves were carved on the stone wall. Every single move and style contained true meaning.

For a moment, everyone's gaze was captivated.

"It seems that what is said in the ancient texts is true."

A long time later, Jin Xi in the crowd muttered to herself.

The disciples of the Saint Path Academy, upon hearing this, hurriedly asked: "Senior Sister Jin, can you tell us specifically about the records in the ancient texts?"

Jin Xi slowly opened her mouth and said: "It is said that before every Great Emperor ascends from Tianchan Mountain, they will leave behind a strand of divine thought in the secret realm of Tianchan Mountain. They do this to display what they have learned in their lifetime to the world.

At the beginning, the key to opening this Emperor Shadow Secret Realm was an object that every power fought over.

However, as more and more Immortal Emperors ascended from the Xuantian Continent, the various Great Holy Lands already possessed supreme inheritances.

Consequently, the Ten Great Holy Lands no longer deliberately fought over the secret key. Moreover, this key would disappear for several hundred years every time after the secret realm opened.

When it appears again, it is scattered in various places of Xuanzhou; those with affinity will naturally obtain it. Over time, the Emperor Shadow Secret Realm became a place that only the lucky can set foot in."

"So that is how it is."

The disciples of the Saint Path Academy muttered this after listening to Jin Xi's account.

Liang Yi never expected that coming out this time with his master, they could actually encounter such a good thing.

He said in a low voice: "Master, let us look around everywhere first."

"No rush."

Shi Xuan said indifferently: "I observe that the moves on this stone wall are somewhat interesting; I will take a look first."

Upon saying this, he walked into a corner and began to observe the moves on the stone wall.

Those moves seemed to possess some kind of special magic, causing Shi Xuan to involuntarily start cultivating along with the moves above.

Time passed day by day.

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed, and quite a few more people appeared in the first stone chamber.

Everyone was discussing their insights in twos and threes.

Shi Xuan, however, had his brows tightly furrowed. Ever since he started cultivating in this stone chamber, he was almost forgetting the techniques he had learned previously.

Only these moves remained in his mind, wanting to comprehend the mysteries within them.

He closed his eyes and began to think. I must be wrong somewhere. The Great Emperor definitely did not leave these things simply for descendants to learn their moves.

After all, no matter how strong a move is, if the person is not strong enough, executing it is no different from a blind imitation.

He began to recall the Dao his Master had explained to him.

Soon, Chu Feng's face emerged in Shi Xuan's mind, and the sound of his Master transmitted in his mind.

"Regardless of when or where, you must firm your Dao Heart and not be disturbed by external matters. Only by firmly walking the path you are on can you walk out a Dao that belongs to you!"

This voice exploded in Shi Xuan's mind like a great bell.

I want to firm my Dao Heart. Yet within my mind, the moves left by the Great Emperor still lingered, wanting to shake his previous learnings.

Shi Xuan's subconscious reaction was to use his own True Meaning to expel these moves.

Very soon, two figures appeared in his sea of consciousness. One was formed by his Dao Heart, displaying what he had learned in his life, engaging in combat with those moves.

A long time later, those moves completely disappeared without a trace.

Shi Xuan suddenly felt his True Meaning had enhanced by a fraction. Although he had not comprehended his own true meaning of the Great Dao.

But it also allowed Shi Xuan to find a path to comprehending the true meaning of the Great Dao.

He suddenly opened his eyes wide, using his own True Meaning to attack the moves on the stone wall.

The next second, the moves carved on the stone wall seemed to come alive, continuing to exchange moves with Shi Xuan.

One day later, a hint of an excited smile appeared on Shi Xuan's face.

So that is how it is!

The moves left behind by the Great Emperor on the stone wall were not meant for descendants to learn, but to help descendants comprehend True Meaning.

He did not intend to reveal the mysteries within this to others.

As the saying goes: The Dao cannot be lightly transmitted.

Shi Xuan walked over to the side of Liang Yi, who was sparring with a disciple of the Saint Path Academy.

After the two finished their spar, Shi Xuan grabbed Liang Yi's shoulder.

Liang Yi initially intended to get angry, but after seeing it was his Master who had come, he said helplessly: "Master, what are you doing?"

Shi Xuan did not speak. He dragged Liang Yi to a deserted corner and transmitted via divine sense: "Condense your sword intent to attack the moves on the stone wall."

???

Liang Yi looked at his own master with a head full of question marks.

Shi Xuan just quietly looked at his disciple. Although Liang Yi did not know why his Master asked him to do this, he dared not disobey his Master's order, so he immediately condensed his sword intent and attacked the moves on the stone wall.

The next second, Liang Yi saw a scene that shocked him. The figure and moves on the stone wall began to float and clash against his sword intent.

Boom!

A loud sound came from within his sea of consciousness. Liang Yi subconsciously retreated several steps, holding his long sword to support himself as he gasped for breath heavily.

Hah... hah... hah...

A moment later, seeing his disciple's complexion had improved quite a bit, Shi Xuan said indifferently: "Sit cross-legged and begin to comprehend the sword intent."

"Yes."

Liang Yi only felt that his sea of consciousness was clear at this moment. Once he sat cross-legged, he quickly entered a meditative state.

When Liang Yi opened his eyes again, he discovered that his comprehension of sword intent had strengthened by a few points.

"M-Master."

"Do not speak. Cultivate like this; I will go look at other places."

After speaking, Shi Xuan turned and left.

Liang Yi looked at his Master's receding back and immediately reacted; the method his Master had just taught him was the true way of cultivation.

Master is indeed worthy of being Master; to have seen through the mysteries within the stone wall in such a short time.

Shi Xuan left the first stone chamber and very soon arrived at the second stone chamber. It was the same as the stone chambers before.

There were quite a few cultivators cultivating inside here as well. Immediately, he used the method from the first stone chamber, using his sword intent to clash against the moves on the stone wall.

Very soon, the scene from before appeared in his sea of consciousness again.

Several days later, Shi Xuan left the second stone chamber.

Then the third, the fourth, the fifth...

Until the seventh stone chamber, Shi Xuan's sword intent was defeated by a single strike from the moves on the stone wall.

Shi Xuan continuously deduced within his sea of consciousness, using sword intent to clash against the moves on the stone wall.

Time passed day by day. Very soon, it had been eighty days since everyone entered the stone chambers.

On this day, in the second stone chamber, Liang Yi suddenly opened his eyes wide. A sword intent flew towards the stone wall; after defeating the moves on the stone wall, he could not help but shout: "I have finally achieved Sword Intent Perfection!"

This loud shout naturally drew the attention of countless people.

Among the cultivators who entered the stone chambers, some had stayed here for a thousand years without significant progress. Now, a young lad had actually made a gain, which naturally made people feel astonished.

Old Ghost Fu subconsciously asked: "Little brother, how did you do it?"
