Maximum Comprehension: Taking Care of Swords In A Sword Pavilion

 

In front of All-Encompassing Sword Sect, everyone’s eyes were focused on Han Muye.

Among these gazes, there were sighs, admiration, and also annoyance.

Those who sighed and admired felt that Han Muye actually had the courage to challenge a Dao Extinguishing powerhouse, challenging the authority that the All-Encompassing Sword Sect had held for countless years.

The annoyed ones felt that in such a situation, during trying times for the All-Encompassing Sword Sect, unity should be the priority.

Han Muye pointed his long sword forward, his body faintly surrounded by swirling sword light.

He was waiting.

Around the surrounding mountains, the aura of numerous powerful beings pervaded.

These were the powerful figures from various sects hiding around.

The current situation of the All-Encompassing Sword Sect was one no one wanted to miss—the opportunity to destroy it completely.

If the All-Encompassing Sword Sect truly engaged in a battle, all surrounding forces would certainly rush over.

“The Elder of the Sword Nurturing Hut committed partiality. Peak Master Guo Hua of Moon-Encompassing Peak harbors no thought of betrayal against the All-Encompassing Sword Sect. Xia Yunshang of All-Encompassing Peak abused his power for personal gain and is stripped of the position of peak master and taken to the sect’s Sword Prison.”

“Guo Hua’s Sword Bone from Moon-Encompassing Peak is temporarily kept there. Once everything calms down, at the grand ceremony of the whole sect, it will be sent to the Sword Nurturing Hut.”

“With this, are you satisfied?”

The voice from All-Encompassing Peak came, unhurried.

The voice of the sect leader.

Xia Mingtang, who had led All-Encompassing Sword Sect for a thousand years and whose word was law, actually asked, “Are you satisfied?”

This question led to a deadly silence in front of the All-Encompassing Sword Sect.

For countless years, no one had seen Xia Mingtang back down.

Even when faced with invading armies, formidable enemies at the gate, or even when gravely injured, he had never spoken soft words.

“Could it be that today’s All-Encompassing Sword Sect truly faces an existential crisis…”

“If the sect leader would yield, can our All-Encompassing Sword Sect’s legacy possibly continue?”

At this moment, the disciples of the All-Encompassing Sword Sect all felt a chill down their spine.

Pair after pair of eyes looked towards Han Muye.

“Good, I will wait at Moon-Encompassing Peak for Peak Master Guo Hua’s Sword Bone to enter the Sword Nurturing Hut.”

Han Muye’s voice was filled with determination.

Behind him, all the disciples of Moon-Encompassing Peak stood tall, their eyes shimmering with light.

Zhang Mingyuan shivered, clutching the wooden box in his hands tightly.

Wang Yun and others behind him were also excited and on the verge of roaring out loud.

The All-Encompassing Sword Sect had truly agreed to give Moon-Encompassing Peak and his master an explanation.

Ahead, Xia Yunshang, the former peak master of All-Encompassing Peak holding the long sword, chuckled, threw away the sword in his hand, and turned to leave.

Several figures followed him.

In the distance, several other figures disappeared as well.

An internal conflict within the All-Encompassing Sword Sect had thus dissipated into nothingness.

——————————————

Moon-Encompassing Peak.

Atop a thousand-feet-high mountain peak, among the gathering and dispersing clouds, the essences of origin power clashed and swirled.

All the peak tops of the All-Encompassing Sword Sect were lands rich in origin power, being superior places for cultivation.

Guo Hua’s Sword Bone was placed in the ancestral shrine on the rear mountain, and Han Muye received the worship of everyone in the main hall at the peak.

Du Chen and Mei Yuchang, two elders of Moon-Encompassing Peak, oversaw the brief peak master enthronement ceremony.

With Guo Hua gone and Moon-Encompassing Peak’s strength greatly diminished, and almost at a breaking point with the All-Encompassing Sword Sect, there was no contemplation of inviting others to witness the succession ceremony.

After the ceremony, everyone dispersed. Zhang Mingyuan and others came to see Han Muye, bringing out all the account books and assets of Moon-Encompassing Peak.

The two elders were both at the peak of the path-entry realm.

The other five stewards ranged from the initial to the later stages of the Dao Realm.

Among the disciples, Zhang Mingyuan had the highest cultivation ability, having achieved the Dao Realm, while the other over three hundred disciples were all in the Initial Knowing Realm.

Having a few in the Dao Realm out of three hundred in the Initial Knowing was already a high ratio for Moon-Encompassing Peak.

In the Great Pantheon Plane, with perfect mastery of the Dao, the threshold of the Seeking Dao Realm blocked countless individuals.

The difficulty of condensing a Dao Fruit was harder than reaching the heavens.

Besides the elders and disciples at the peak top, all other properties were also recorded in the registrar.

Refined more than thirty-three swords, two of which contained Dao intent.

A hundred Lower-Grade Pantheon Stones.

Not to mention, there were various spiritual herbs and materials produced all around the peak.

In Han Muye’s eyes, the Moon-Encompassing Peak was practically impoverished.

However, he also knew that even with such meager resources, it was already one of the top foundations within the All-Encompassing Sword Sect, second only to the All-Encompassing Peak.

Across tens of thousands of miles, there weren’t many powers that were truly wealthy.

After checking those books, Zhang Mingyuan, and Du Chen led Han Muye to where the ancient books were stored.

A large two-story wooden building that was simple, yet showed signs of decay.

Inside, there weren’t many books, but there were more than a dozen stone tablets that were about three meters tall, engraved with the traces and patterns of sword cultivation.

They were not texts, just patterns and marks that required comprehension to practice sword cultivation.

Guo Hua’s path in the Sword Dao began with his comprehension from these stone tablets.

The Jade Void Swordsmanship and the Rainbow Encompassing Sword Technique both originated from these stone tablets.

Looking at the stone tablets before him, a keen light flickered in Han Muye’s eyes.

The principles of the sword on the stone tablets were not complicated.

However, that was only from his perspective.

For the All-Encompassing Sword Sect, and even the heritage of the Great Pantheon Plane today, the traces of sword principles on these stone tablets were extremely complex.

It was indeed an indication of Guo Hua’s exceptional talent in the Sword Dao that he was able to comprehend sword techniques from these tablets.

Zhang Mingyuan and Du Chen did not stay long in the Scripture Pavilion.

The two left, and Han Muye quietly observed the stone tablets before him.

In his mind, the patterns on the tablets transformed into sword moves, which appeared before him.

The sword moves, whether agile or substantial, each carried their profound essence.

Wielding such sword moves to invoke the Origin Force, one would undoubtedly possess formidable strength.

“Origin of Wind.”

“Fire Origin.”

“Origin of Water…”

Sword techniques that drew upon Origin Forces were deconstructed as the Origin Power around Han Muye began to surge.

The dilapidated wooden building seemed as if it was about to be blown apart by these forces.

“Hum—”

A resonant hum echoed in Han Muye’s mind.

A series of sword lights converged, forming a faint cyan three-foot-long sword.

This sword was only a phantom.

Yet, Han Muye had actually seen its real form.

“Wind Spiritual Sword.”

The Sect Suppression Sword of the All-Encompassing Sword Sect, the Wind Spiritual Sword that was kept in the Sword Nurturing Hut.

Looking at the phantom of the Wind Spiritual Sword in his mind, Han Muye’s eyes shone brightly.

The sword techniques on the stone tablets in front of him were only a small part, the real inheritance of the Sword Dao and its principles were in the Wind Spiritual Sword itself.

However, now that the Wind Spiritual Sword had been taken away by Yu Chenglin, who had betrayed the sect, this inheritance might also fall into the hands of others.

Standing inside the Scripture Pavilion, Han Muye turned to look at the mountains and fields outside.

His incarnation was now bearing the weight of the Primordial Plane and pressing down on the Azure Sky Plane in the void.

If his main body wanted to return to the Great Pantheon Plane, it would need to surpass the cultivation of his incarnation, breakthrough the barrier between heaven and earth of the Great Pantheon Plane, and penetrate the land of nothingness.

To break through the barrier between heaven and earth of the Great Pantheon Plane meant that one’s power would have to surpass the plane itself.

As mighty as the Great Pantheon Plane was, what level of cultivation would one need to surpass it?

Taking a deep breath, Han Muye pressed down these thoughts.

The path of cultivation was tough and full of challenges and thorns, wasn’t that what made it all the more exciting?

“Moon-Encompassing Peak, let’s start from here,” he muttered to himself.

“From the former Nine Mystic Mountain to the current Moon-Encompassing Peak.”

With a determined turn, Han Muye abruptly turned around.

Not far away, two figures stood.
