253: Chapter 253 Ten Thousand Swords Pay Homage to the Source

The entire starry sky brightened considerably!

At the center of the starry sky, a brilliant silver light descended, transforming into a silver Sword Feather that emitted an ethereal and misty sword Dao aura!

The core Legacy, the guiding light for the "Taixu Cloud-Breaking Sword Canon" Legacy!

This was not a complete sword canon, but rather a "Sword Feather."

It contained the general principles, Cultivate methods, and the complete Legacy of the first stance of this Earth Rank Low Grade sword canon. It shared many similarities with the fluid and swift nature of Ye Tian's Taiyi Light-Splitting Sword Art, allowing them to complement each other and greatly enhance his instantaneous explosive power!

More importantly, it was a key, providing direction for finding the subsequent parts of the Legacy.

Ye Tian put away the silver Sword Feather.

But he did not stop; his gaze turned toward the still countless phantom projections of light swords.

Clues to the supreme sword canon...

He wanted to try!

His Sword Intent spread out once more, faster and with deeper comprehension!

Eleven hundred... fifteen hundred... two thousand!

The further he went, the harder it became to trigger a resonance; every new insight into Sword Intent felt like climbing a treacherous Peak.

But Ye Tian's sword heart, tempered by thousands of Sword Intents, had become incredibly resilient.

He lost track of time, immersing himself completely.

Three thousand... five thousand... seven thousand!

When he triggered more than seven thousand Sword Intents, a faint sword radiance naturally radiated from Ye Tian's body, merging him with this starry sky.

His understanding of the sword Dao had reached an unfathomable level, as various sword principles came to him effortlessly, fully integrated.

Eight thousand... nine thousand!

When the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-ninth Sword Intent resonated, every phantom light sword in the starry sky, whether previously triggered or not, began to vibrate violently!

Then, before Ye Tian's shocked eyes, those nearly ten thousand Sword Intent light swords turned their tips and pointed in unison toward Ye Tian, as if paying homage to a monarch!

Billions of sword lights shimmered together, illuminating the entire starry sky as bright as day!

Ten Thousand Swords Acknowledge the Ancestor!

At the center of the starry sky, the blurry luminous humanoid figure reappeared. This time, its outline was much clearer, appearing to be the phantom of a lean, elderly man.

He looked at Ye Tian, his eyes filled with gratification and wonder.

"The youth are to be feared, truly to be feared..."

The phantom elder's voice carried a hint of excitement. "After endless ages, I finally witness the Ten Thousand Swords Acknowledge the Ancestor!

Your sword heart encompasses all things and possesses infinite potential!

You are qualified to learn the secrets of our manor's true supreme sword canon, the Taichu Sword Scripture!"

The phantom elder raised a finger and tapped, and a Chaos-colored light containing the mysteries of the supreme sword Dao's Origin instantly vanished into the space between Ye Tian's brows!

A massive amount of information flooded into Ye Tian's mind!

Not just clues to the Taichu Sword Scripture, but also some of the phantom elder's insights and experiences regarding the sword Dao's Origin!

"The Taichu Sword Scripture... is the very Foundation of our manor. Rumor has it that it touches upon the Law of the sword's Origin. It cannot be obtained by anyone without great Opportunity, great Comprehension Ability, and great perseverance.

This scripture is divided into three volumes, scattered across the world.

This Dao mark can help you sense the possible location where the lower volume, the 'Sword Qi Volume,' might be hidden.

I hope you use it wisely and do not fail this destiny..."

The phantom elder's voice gradually faded, and the entire "Ten Thousand Swords Dao-Evolution Heaven" also began to turn illusory.

Ye Tian stood where he was, digesting the information in his mind, his heart surging like a stormy sea!

The Taichu Sword Scripture!

The Ancient Sword Manor's supreme Legacy that touched upon the Law of the sword's Origin!

This Opportunity was even greater than he had imagined!

This had already exceeded the scope of ordinary Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals; it concerned the very essence of the sword Dao!

With a flash of light, Ye Tian, Hou Xiaojie, and the Mini Dragon Ape were teleported back to the Sword Pavilion main hall.

It felt like a long time had passed since they entered the "Dao-Imparting" gate, but it seemed that less than an hour had passed in the outside world.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was somewhat eerie.

Jing Wutian, Ye Yiyi, and Zhao Chengzhi seemed to have just exited the "Heart-Questioning" gate. Their faces were still pale, but their gazes were firmer than before, clearly having gained something.

The three cloaked men also emerged from the "Edge-Sharpening" gate, looking even more disheveled. One of them had even lost an arm, and his gaze toward that gate was filled with terror.

When they saw the three of them emerge unharmed from the "Dao-Imparting" gate, and noticed a lingering Dao charm still surrounding Ye Tian...

Everyone's gaze converged on them, filled with suspicion and a hint of undisguisable envy!

Jing Wutian's pupils constricted slightly; he could feel that the sword Dao charm emanating from Ye Tian had reached a state of seamless integration.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "What this person obtained in the 'Dao-Imparting' gate is likely far beyond our imagination."

A strange light flickered in Ye Yiyi's beautiful eyes, followed by a flash of jealousy. She giggled, though her tone was probing: "Brother Ye truly has good fortune. It seems you've gained quite a lot in the 'Dao-Imparting' gate. It makes me quite curious."

Zhao Chengzhi remained silent, but the veins on the back of his hand pressing against his sword hilt were visible. The pressure Ye Tian brought made him feel an unprecedented challenge.

Sikong Changhe had the most straightforward personality and shouted directly: "Ye Tian, did you get some incredible sword technique in there?

Quick, tell us, what's the situation inside?"

He didn't have much ill intent; he was purely curious.

The leader of the cloaked men, who had lost an arm, swept his sinister gaze over Ye Tian. Especially when he felt that unique Dao charm, a flash of greed appeared in his eyes.

Facing everyone's varying gazes, Ye Tian's expression remained calm as he cupped his hands and said, "I was just fortunate enough to have some insights. It can't compare to the life-and-death trials you all faced in 'Heart-Questioning' and 'Edge-Sharpening'."

He spoke dismissively, moving past the topic.

He knew full well that harboring a treasure invites trouble.

Whether it was the guiding light for the Taixu Cloud-Breaking Sword Canon or the clues to the Taichu Sword Scripture, any mention of them would be enough to bring about a fatal disaster.

The most important thing right now was to digest his gains as quickly as possible and improve his strength.

He ignored the others and led Hou Xiaojie and the Mini Dragon Ape to a relatively quiet corner of the hall.

He needed time to familiarize himself with the newly acquired Legacy.

"Xiao Jie, Dragon Ape, act as my Protectors; I need to meditate for a while,"

Ye Tian said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother!"

Hou Xiaojie immediately puffed out his chest and watched the surroundings nervously.

The Mini Dragon Ape also sat down alertly, its small ears perked up, warily sensing the surrounding energy fluctuations.

Ye Tian sat cross-legged and first took out the silver Sword Feather he had obtained from the "Dao-Imparting" gate.

He calmed his mind and slowly extended his Divine Sense into the Sword Feather.

"Buzz!"

The general principles and essence of the Taixu Cloud-Breaking Sword Canon, the energy circulation routes, as well as the Cultivate methods and Concept insights for the first stance, were clearly presented!

"What an exquisite method of power exertion!" Ye Tian praised inwardly.

This sword canon did not replace the Taiyi Light-Splitting Sword Art but was an excellent supplement and enhancement!

The Taiyi Light-Splitting Sword Art excelled in variation and group combat, while the Taixu Cloud-Breaking Sword Canon focused on single-target kills. By combining the two, his offensive methods would become even more comprehensive!

He immediately followed the methods in the Sword Feather, guiding the True Essence in his body to circulate along specific Meridians.

With the solid Foundation of the Taiyi Light-Splitting Sword Art, he quickly found the way.

The True Essence condensed at his fingertip into a silver glow of incredibly sharp Qi!

He didn't actually execute it, only simulating the power exertion method within his body.

Even so, he could feel a clear upward trend in his own attack power!

If fully mastered and used in conjunction with the liuguang sword, its piercing power would be enough to threaten experts at the Late Stage of the True Martial Realm!

About an hour later, Ye Tian slowly opened his eyes. A flash of silver light passed through them, and his aura exuded a sense of indestructible sharpness.

"This Taixu Cloud-Breaking Sword Canon is truly extraordinary. Just by preliminarily mastering the power exertion method, my attack power has increased by at least twenty percent!" Ye Tian was satisfied.

This was only the beginning; as he cultivated deeper, its power would only grow stronger.

Next, he began to digest the clues and information regarding the Taichu Sword Scripture in his mind.

This information was even more ethereal, consisting mainly of a tattered, star-map-like mental imprint pointing to some unknown location, accompanied by a wisp of Sword Intent aura containing the "Origin" Dao charm.

This wisp of aura was of an extremely high level, which he couldn't even begin to understand at his current Realm, let alone Cultivate. He could only temporarily nurture it deep within his Sea of Consciousness.

But this undoubtedly pointed out a potential path for him to reach the Peak of the sword Dao.

Just as Ye Tian finished his meditation and was preparing to investigate their next move...
