203: Chapter 203 Falling into the Sword Abyss and Encountering the Sword Mountain, Ten Thousand Swords Paying Homage to the Dao and Comprehending its Harmony

The suction force came suddenly and violently; Ye Qing only felt his body lighten, and his entire being fell uncontrollably toward the bottomless Sword Abyss!

Beside his ears was the whistling of the wind, along with that increasingly dense and increasingly sharp Sword Intent, as if it wanted to tear his entire being apart!

He hurriedly circulated his Chaos Dharma Power to form a solid protective halo of light on his body surface, while simultaneously gripping the chaos sword in his hand, vigilantly guarding against any possible danger.

The process of falling seemed to last for a long time, yet it also seemed like only an instant.

When he finally stood on solid ground, he discovered he was standing in a gray, misty space that seemed to be condensed from pure Sword Intent.

This space was not large, barely a hundred zhang in circumference, surrounded by gray, tangible barriers with countless intricate runes flowing across them.

And in the center of this space stood a Sword Mountain dozens of zhang high, pitch-black all over, seemingly piled up from the wreckage of countless broken swords!

That Sword Mountain emitted an indescribable, ancient, and desolate Sword Intent!

That Sword Intent was neither sharp nor overbearing, but rather a vastness that encompassed everything, as if it could contain all Sword Dao.

Ye Qing stood before that Sword Mountain, feeling as if he had become a tiny boat sailing in an endless ocean of Sword Dao.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, walked slowly to the front of the Sword Mountain, extended his finger, and gently touched a rusted broken sword on the surface of the Sword Mountain.

Hum—!!!

The moment his fingertip touched that broken sword, a massive stream of information, like a bursting flood, rushed along his fingertip and into his mind!

That stream of information contained a complete Sword Dao Legacy, as well as the lifelong cultivation insights and realizations of the Sword Cultivator who had left this broken sword behind!

He hurriedly withdrew his finger, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

"These broken swords... does every single one contain a complete Sword Dao Legacy?"

He extended his finger again and touched another broken sword.

Sure enough, another massive stream of information rushed into his mind, containing yet another completely different Sword Dao Legacy!

He tried several more times and discovered that on this Sword Mountain, the countless broken sword wrecks piled up each represented a complete Sword Dao Legacy!

These Legacies were fierce and overbearing, some were agile and erratic, some were upright and balanced, and some took unorthodox paths, covering almost all schools and branches of Sword Dao!

"This... this is simply a treasure house of Sword Dao!"

Ye Qing looked at that massive Sword Mountain, his eyes filled with shock and ecstasy!

He was like a gluttonous beast that had been starving for countless years, suddenly seeing a full banquet, and began to crazily absorb these Sword Dao Legacies!

He was no longer satisfied with touching them one by one; instead, he sat cross-legged directly before the Sword Mountain, submerged his consciousness into it, and using his own Sword Intent as a guide, established a connection with the entire Sword Mountain!

Hum—!!!

The entire Sword Mountain seemed to be activated by him!

Countless broken sword wrecks emitted buzzing sword hums simultaneously!

Countless streams of Sword Intent, of various colors and different natures, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, surged out from those broken swords and gathered toward Ye Qing!

These Sword Intents were vast and complex; if it were an ordinary Void Refining Cultivator, they would likely have had their Sea of Consciousness burst instantly by this massive stream of information!

But Ye Qing's Divine Soul, having been strengthened many times, had long since become incomparably resilient!

He kept his spiritual platform clear, circulated the Hunxu Yandao Scripture, used the Chaos Dao as his Foundation, and classified, organized, absorbed, and merged these incoming Sword Dao Legacies one by one!

He seemed to transform into an emperor of swords, controlling ten thousand blades.

The realizations and insights of countless Sword Dao predecessors flowed through his heart, colliding, merging, and sublimating with his own Chaos Sword Dao!

His understanding of Sword Dao was rapidly improving at an incredible speed!

His comprehension of the Chaos Dao also became more complete and reached Perfection during this process!

The aura on his body began to become somewhat erratic, at times sharp like a sword, as if it could sever everything; at times heavy like a mountain, as if it could carry all things; at times ethereal like smoke, as if it had merged with heaven and earth.

The Bottleneck of Void Refining Perfection within his body began to show slight signs of loosening under the impact of this massive Sword Dao comprehension!

He did not know how much time had passed, but when he had roughly browsed through the Sword Dao Legacies contained within the entire Sword Mountain and had merged their essence into his own Chaos Dao, he slowly opened his eyes.

Deep within his eyes, it seemed as if two invisible, Chaos-colored sword shadows were slowly rotating, emitting a sharp radiance that seemed capable of piercing through the Void Realm.

He stood up and bowed solemnly toward that Sword Mountain.

"Thank you, Seniors, for the gift."

He straightened up, his gaze becoming more determined.

Although he had not yet immediately achieved a Breakthrough to the Dao Integration Realm, he could feel that he was only a thin layer of window paper away from that Realm.

He only needed a suitable opportunity to naturally step into that brand new Realm.

He took one last look at that Sword Mountain, then turned around and walked toward the portal that had just appeared at the edge of this space, condensed from gray light.

He knew it was time to leave this Sword Abyss.
