263: Who wrote this?

"Hmm?"

The furious Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit regained its composure, then looked at the stunned Divine Soul of Jiang Churan and frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Sword Mother, this thing Senior Brother gave is so..." Jiang Churan wore a stunned expression, saying in disbelief, "So simple!"

"So the Awakening of the Sword Heart can be this easy!"

"I was wrong, Sword Mother, your previous approach..."

Hearing Jiang Churan's words, the Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit was slightly stunned.

"This is..."

"The signs before a Sword Heart Awakening!!"

"How is this possible!!"

The Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit noticed the indescribable aura radiating from Jiang Churan's body, then immediately cast its gaze upon the ancient paper in Jiang Churan's hand.

When it saw the text clearly,

Thump!

It was struck by lightning, instantly petrified on the spot!

On the ancient paper, every ancient character seemed to come alive, gradually connecting to form an illusion, and within that illusion was a scene of the beginning of heaven and earth.

In the Universe, the first and purest Sword Intent was born with sentience, containing profound truths that pointed directly to the Origin Dao of heaven and earth.

Yet, this Origin that should have been impossible for living beings to comprehend was clearly displayed by these characters, and beneath each line were even more detailed annotations, causing the Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit to instantly fall into unprecedented shock.

"This is simply..."

"The Awakening of the Sword Heart is actually this simple, my previous methods were all wrong..."

"This is the true method that points directly to the Origin of the Sword Dao!"

"So that's how it is..."

"By comparison, what I wrote before is truly just... trash!!"

"How can such a Heaven-Defying Sword Heart Awakening method exist in this world, writing the Origin of the Sword Dao so simply, returning to simplicity..."

"Who wrote this??"

At this moment, the Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit was dumbfounded, its eyes filled with unprecedented shock.

"No!"

"Sword Mother wasn't wrong, it's just that the previous method was too stupid!"

"Comparing the two methods is like comparing a moronic cultivation method to a Genius cultivation method," Jiang Churan couldn't help but think very seriously in her heart.

Her talent for the Sword Dao was originally monstrous, and she had once fully awakened a Sword Heart. Now, looking at this Seven-Aperture Lapis Lazuli Sword Heart Awakening method, she naturally entered the gate quickly.

Because of this, she couldn't help but feel shocked.

"..." The Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit's face darkened, feeling an urge to explode.

Although Jiang Churan spoke the truth, was it really okay to just say it out loud!

Wasn't this slapping her in the face?

However, the Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit had no heart to think about these things now, instead, it focused its gaze on the man in black.

"Who exactly wrote this Awakening method!"

"How could he possess it!"

Even its master could absolutely not achieve this step, let alone with such detail and clarity, as if it had been verified countless times...

Could there really be a Sword Cultivator in this Universe more terrifying than its master?

Who exactly is he!

"Senior Brother, this method is..." Jiang Churan was also very curious, raising her head to look at Shen Nian, unable to stop herself from asking.

"Don't tell me you wrote this, Senior Brother!"

"That is impossible!!" The Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit spoke firmly in her mind.

This absolutely could not have been written by him!

At this very moment.

【Ding, Fusion with the Nine Aperture Lapis Lazuli Sword Heart!】

【Nine Aperture Lapis Lazuli Sword Heart: The strongest Sword Heart in the path of the Sword Dao, without exception!】

Shen Nian also recovered from the Fusion with the Nine Aperture Lapis Lazuli Sword Heart and answered softly: "Who wrote it doesn't matter, but it is stronger than the trash you practiced before. Just focus on your Cultivation..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit inside Jiang Churan's Divine Soul blushed instantly, having the feeling of wanting to find a crack in the ground to crawl into!

Back in the day, she had proudly given this method to Jiang Churan, praising it to the high heavens.

Now, it had become trash!

Yet it had no temper at all; after all, Shen Nian was right. Compared to that ancient text, what it wrote was indeed trash!

"This..." Jiang Churan was suddenly at a loss.

Her and the Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit's plan had been disrupted by the ancient Awakening text Shen Nian took out. How could they find an opportunity to leave now?

Do they still have to continue staying here to Cultivate?

No!

No way!

"Sword Mother, Sword Mother, hurry and think of a way!!"

The Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit fell silent.

A way?

I don't have one either!

Who knows where your Senior Brother dug up such a Heaven-Defying ancient text!

"Sword Mother, you are the most capable, you must still have a way, hurry and think!"

"I really want to eat something. From now on, whatever you say goes. I will focus on Cultivating the Nine Tribulations Sword, okay? I promise I won't be like before!" Jiang Churan pleaded in her heart.

"Nine Tribulations Sword Art!"

The Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this.

Right!

How could I have forgotten the Nine Tribulations Sword Art created by my master!

This is a Sword Dao Divine Ability that starts from the Void Refinement stage and goes all the way to the Origin of the Sword Dao in the Ancient Realm!

This Sword Art has only three styles: Leveling the Universe, Severing the Dao, and Nine Tribulations. Each style contains the Origin meaning of the Nine Tribulations Sword Dao, especially the last sword, Nine Tribulations, which contains the true meaning of the Origin. Once the Nine Tribulations sword is unleashed, heaven and earth collapse, gods and demons all perish...

In her previous life, Jiang Churan had barely entered the gate of the Nine Tribulations, and even without fully mastering it, she was already able to kill enemies across realms. One can imagine how terrifying these three swords are!

The most crucial part is that to comprehend these three swords created by the Nine Tribulations Sword Master, one must possess a Sword Heart and the Nine Tribulations Sword insight to perceive the nine tribulations of intent within the sword. Otherwise, if one cannot reach the Origin of the Sword Dao, it is completely impossible to comprehend.

However...

Is it really necessary to use the Nine Tribulations Sword Art as a catalyst to leave this place?

At this moment, the Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit hesitated.

Actually, from a certain perspective, it wouldn't be so bad for Jiang Churan to stay at the Shen Family...

What it wanted most was for Jiang Churan to awaken her Sword Heart, and then start Cultivating the Nine Tribulations Sword Art left behind by its master. Previously, it thought that staying at the Shen Family was blocked by the Formation of the Ancient Realm, obscuring the aura of the Great Dao of heaven and earth, making it difficult for Jiang Churan to comprehend, which is why it had the idea of taking her away.

But now...

After Shen Nian took out that ancient text, everything changed.

Jiang Churan staying at the Shen Family to Cultivate in peace is definitely the best choice. After all, she is not without enemies in this life. That woman from the Jiang Family has repeatedly tried to kill Jiang Churan. If it weren't for its existence, Jiang Churan would have died before she was even born...

The Jiang Family is very strong, at least not something the current Jiang Churan can contend with.

Therefore, staying at the Shen Family would be absolutely safe.

Furthermore, the Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit now wants to figure out who exactly Shen Nian is, where he came from, why he has such a Heaven-Defying Awakening method, and whether he already knows of its existence!

If it doesn't uncover all these mysteries, it won't be able to sleep at all!

"Sword Mother, I beg you, say something!"

"Really, I will definitely seriously comprehend the Nine Tribulations Sword Art!"

"I will never go back on my word!"

Hearing Jiang Churan's desperate pleas, the Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit finally couldn't harden its heart, and then said: "There is one more way."
