352: Chapter 362 The Sword Soul Appears! The Yin-Yang Enlightenment Pool!
Passing through the Chaos light gate, Su Jin and Mu Linglong only felt a kaleidoscope of bizarre scenes flash before their eyes.
"The Dao of the sword... must follow one's original heart."
"A Sword Cultivator... must be unyielding!"
"Our generation... must stand tall between Heaven and Earth!"
An ancient voice, as if spanning the long river of time, rang out beside their ears.
"With a sword in the heart, all things can be a sword."
"Follow your heart in this place. The time limit is ten days."
The sixty-three top Prodigies, including Su Jin and Mu Linglong, naturally knew what this grand voice represented.
The Sword God Domain was more like the core place of the Heavenly Dao rules for the entire Sword Domain!
The Wuji Sword Emperor, who was the number one in slaughter back then, was able to enter and exit at will precisely because he had gained the recognition of the "Sword Soul" here.
Later, in order to increase the overall strength of the Sword Domain, the Wuji Sword Emperor made an agreement with the Sword Soul.
Every one hundred thousand years, the top ten individuals who passed the Trial of the Sword would be qualified to enter this place for ten days of enlightenment!
No one dared to underestimate these short ten days.
The current Sword Emperor ruling the Sword Domain, as well as Patriarch Mu Chuan of the Ten Thousand Sword Ancient Clan, were both able to break their shackles and achieve a Breakthrough to become Great Emperors precisely because they had participated in ten days of enlightenment here!
It is evident how Heaven-Defying the Opportunity here is!
Except for Su Jin and Mu Linglong, everyone else, the moment they regained their senses, quickly transformed into streams of light and sped off in all directions of the God Domain, wanting to find their own supreme fortune within these limited ten days.
Only Su Jin stood quietly in place, making no move.
Mu Linglong looked at him, her beautiful eyes like clear springs filled with confusion: "Why aren't you leaving? My father said that this God Domain is vast, and everyone will have their own fortune, but it needs to be searched for. There are only ten short days, we cannot afford to delay!"
"If you trust me, just stand here and wait for a while." Su Jin adjusted his straw hat, his voice steady, without offering much explanation.
Opportunities cannot be forced.
If Mu Linglong was anxious to choose other Opportunities, he naturally would not stop her.
Upon hearing this, Mu Linglong was slightly stunned, yet she nodded without the slightest hesitation and said: "Okay! I will wait for you!"
This straightforward answer actually took Su Jin by surprise.
In the Face of this Great Emperor Opportunity where every second counted, she actually chose to believe in him without any doubt?
Time passed second by second.
Although Mu Linglong felt somewhat anxious in her heart due to the passage of time, she did not reveal it at all on her Face.
Because among these sixty-three Sword Cultivators, she and Su Jin were undoubtedly the two with the highest rankings!
Following the strong would never result in a loss.
After a full two hours.
"Let's go, follow me."
Su Jin suddenly opened his eyes, took the ancient heavy sword, the sentient sword, in his hand, and signaled for Mu Linglong to follow him.
"Mn!" Mu Linglong nodded heavily.
She didn't know what Su Jin had been doing for these two hours, but she chose to listen to someone stronger than her; that could never be wrong!
Along the way, they passed through layers of hidden space Formations, and the figures of other trial-takers could no longer be seen anywhere around.
"Kid! You really have to thank me properly this time!"
In the Sea of Consciousness, the sentient sword and Su Jin communicated telepathically, guiding the route while speaking smugly.
"I had some friendship with the Sword Soul here back in the day. This time, I staked all my Face just to beg for this back-door Opportunity for you two!"
"You must enlighten yourself well for me! I just boasted to the Sword Soul... saying that you are the person with more hope of taking it away than the Wuji Sword Emperor back then!"
"I really thank you!" Su Jin was completely speechless in his heart.
Although he had extreme confidence in his own talent.
But that was the Wuji Sword Emperor!
The strongest in the history of the Sword Domain, a ruthless person who was number one in slaughter!
The Sword Soul that even the Sword Emperor couldn't take away back then—the sentient sword really dared to brag, not afraid of biting off more than it could chew!
About the time it takes to brew a cup of tea later.
Guided by the precise directions of the sentient sword, the two passed through an extremely hidden Chaos light screen and arrived at the most mysterious core place of the Sword God Domain—the Yin and Yang Enlightenment Pool!
"Hiss... What dense Dao aura!!"
As soon as Mu Linglong stepped in, she couldn't help but gasp.
Ahead was a huge white jade pool, the pool water presenting two extreme colors of black and white, resembling a slowly rotating Yin and Yang Taiji pattern.
The Law fragments permeating the air were almost condensing into tangible liquid, ready to drip down!
After all, Mu Linglong was born into a Great Emperor's family, and she knew at a glance how precious such a top-tier treasure land was.
If one could attain enlightenment here, ten days would absolutely be worth a thousand years of bitter cultivation in the outside world!
"The focus is on enlightening the state of mind; do not be greedy for power and be too hasty." Su Jin stood by the pool and reminded her.
The fundamental purpose of this place was never to forcibly increase immortal power cultivation.
It was to increase the trial-takers' understanding of the Heavenly Dao rules, pointing out where the future path should lead for future Breakthroughs to Saint or even Great Emperor.
Those who could come to this most core place of the God Domain, besides the Wuji Sword Emperor back then, were only Su Jin and Mu Linglong.
"I understand!" Mu Linglong nodded heavily, her beautiful eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.
She leaped lightly, like a mermaid, and jumped directly into the pure white pool water full of vitality, splashing up drops of crystal-clear water.
Su Jin naturally would not waste such a once-in-a-millennium Opportunity; he took off his outer straw raincoat and leaped into the deep and heavy black pool water area.
One black and one white, one Yin and one Yang.
The two occupied half of the Enlightenment Pool each, closed their eyes, and quickly sank into that profound and mysterious state of deep enlightenment.
The moment the two were completely in meditation.
"Hum..."
Above the Enlightenment Pool, space twisted slightly.
A golden phantom, exuding an aura as if it could sever the myriad Daos of the heavens, slowly appeared beside the sentient sword.
This golden phantom was exactly the core existence of this Sword God Domain—the Sword Soul!
"This kid's talent and aptitude are indeed not bad."
The Sword Soul's ancient and vast voice rang in the sentient sword's ear, carrying a critical scrutiny: "He walks a different path, even a heavy sword path."
"But..."
The golden Sword Soul changed the subject, its tone revealing a hint of arrogance that had not changed for billions of years: "Based on these alone, if he wants to take me away, it is not enough!!"
It looked down at the pool water and let out an ancient and lonely sigh.
"It is a pity about Wuji; he had a great chance to charge towards the Peak of the Great Emperor realm."
"I also heard after coming out of the ruins that the Realm Demons are invading on a large scale; it seems that this world outside the domain is no longer peaceful either!"
The sentient sword floated in mid-air, its blade moving slightly: "If you keep staying here, sooner or later you will be affected."
"Hmph, if one day this Great Thousand Star Domain is gone, I will simply seal this Sword God Domain completely, escape into the void, and never open it again." The Sword Soul snorted coldly, unconcerned.
"With the methods of the Realm Demons, I am afraid you will not be able to remain unscathed!"
One sword and one soul, like two old friends who had known each other for many years, chatted intermittently in this empty God Domain.
And in the Yin and Yang Enlightenment Pool below, those two figures wrapped in the black and white pool water were undergoing deep and rapid enlightenment.
