"What a remarkable Shadow-shining Jade Disc, it truly is... evocative!"
Gazing at the scene unfolding on the jade disc before him, Zhang Jian's eyes lit up, as if he had finally found some familiar shadows, experiencing a sense that felt like an eternity had passed.
He was brimming with interest.
At the same time, he stepped forward and gently caressed it. This jade disc was refined from a unique spiritual material, smooth and lustrous.
"Brother, it's here!"
Bai Liying was already accustomed to the anomalies on the jade disc, and she stepped forward to speak.
"After repeated confirmations by my father, it's certain that there remains a very profound swordsmanship on this jade disc. Yet, the swordsmanship within is chaotic and seems deliberately disordered, making it difficult to comprehend!"
Bai Liying's exquisite eyes showed a hint of helplessness.
To possess a treasure mountain but unable to extract its wealth is indeed a displeasing feeling.
Zhang Jian nodded, but his eyes were filled with curiosity.
He was eager to try.
With the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart, comprehension became his strength.
"Let me give it a try!"
Then he found a place to sit cross-legged, his eyes directly fixed under the gradually emerging brilliant light on the jade disc; that peculiar glow circulated over it, evolving into primordial mountains and seas, world-shining star rivers, azure clouds covering the sky, among other magnificent scenes.
As his Divine Thought delved deeper, he gradually saw a figure in blue, where threads of sword light diverged, and the longsword pierced through the void, revealing various mystical spells.
This was like a torrent impacting Zhang Jian's Divine Thought; the sword qi was cold, causing a strong sense of stabbing pain.
This was just the beginning, and soon the figures on the jade disc increased in number, the chilling sword qi sometimes manifesting azure clouds, other times stars, like a dance of demons.
"Too chaotic!"
After a few more glances, Zhang Jian's mind also gave birth to a sense of chaos.
This was under the influence of the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart with no external distractions, whereas other cultivators would probably have already stood up, drawing their swords in confusion.
The Dragon Maiden had long hidden far away; seeing Zhang Jian still calmly sitting before the jade disc, only frowning slightly, her expression became somewhat astounded, and a sense of admiration involuntarily arose in her heart.
She had personally sensed the swordsmanship within the jade disc.
Yet could only persist for half a quarter-hour before an uncontrollable nameless fire in her heart forced her to stop.
"I hadn't expected this brother's mental cultivation to have reached such a level, no wonder his progress is so rapid?"
The Dragon Maiden's heart slightly stirred.
Dragon Monarchs naturally favored quick-witted scholars, but the Dragon Maiden was different; she admired such diligent cultivators more.
Then, after a moment, Zhang Jian opened his eyes, with a slightly disordered spiritual mechanism around him.
Seeing this, the Dragon Maiden was about to speak, but Zhang Jian took a deep breath and reinvested his Divine Thought into it.
She then saw a layer of intense pure white flame slowly enveloping Zhang Jian's body.
Vast Righteous Flame!
Stunned by this scene, the Dragon Maiden stepped back several dozen feet.
The explosion of Vast Righteous Qi, the surging flame swept outward, made her sense her own amassed magical power subtly stagnant, even her Divine Thought was slowed by the mighty luminous force, as if it was uncontrolled to reveal its true form.
This left her deeply shaken.
"Is this the power of Vast Righteous Qi?"
With a solemn expression, this was the first time the Dragon Maiden encountered such a peculiar force.
If it was a first encounter, indeed one could easily suffer a great loss.
No wonder Bai Shui Dragon Monarch held Zhang Jian in high regard.
This time, however, Zhang Jian gradually manifested traces of starlight within the surrounding Vast Righteous Qi.
In the Dragon Maiden's view, indeed traces of starlight were present.
"Did he succeed?"
This change left the Dragon Maiden astonished.
After just the second insight, he already found the outline.
The Dragon Maiden's heart was difficult to describe.
Ultimately, all that remained was one thought: "Brother is indeed a genius, no wonder able to be admitted into Tongshan Dao Lineage!"
At this moment, Zhang Jian was indeed entering a favorable stage.
He discovered the key to cultivating the swordsmanship within the jade disc, which not only contained a set of sword techniques but possibly many scattered sword formulas interfering with the direction of comprehension.
If the one trying to comprehend could exclude the influence of these powerful scattered sword techniques, they could unravel and find the training pattern of this swordsmanship.
The crucial part lay in the World-Shining Star River.
Now, Zhang Jian's Dragon Roar Sword sensed his emergence starlight sword qi, involuntarily soaring out in light.
This Spirit Sword was long integrated with his Divine Thought, as an extension; upon merging with the spiritual force field, starlight began to appear vaguely around him.
Above the sky as if the starlight was drawn in, merging with the sword light.
A sword strike, bringing the unique brilliance and chill of the stars.
As the sword light swept across, nearby piles of rocks were sharply pierced by the sword qi.
The Dragon Maiden gazed at the pile of shattered rocks, her eyes slightly surprised.
"The essence of this swordsmanship lies in piercing and cutting? While the speed is not fast, yet..."
Gazing at the increasingly brilliant starlight in the void, a word flashed through the Dragon Maiden's mind.
"Complex!"
Complex meant it was difficult to see through and defend against.
The Dragon Maiden's eyes showed contemplation, although she didn't know much about sword control techniques, she knew sword control usually has several directions, one is speed, faster the sword control technique, obviously more dangerous.
Many sword cultivators and warlocks preferred sword techniques inclined towards speed.
The second was complexity.
