As Su Changkong entered, if he couldn’t persist, he could only come out, and this opportunity to enter the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb would be considered used up. Therefore, he must try his best to last longer within and not waste this precious chance.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The white-haired elder pressed his palm down, and the thick stone door at the entrance of the cave roared as it opened a crack.

“Go in but remember, if you can’t hold on, come out, or you might be risking your life!”

The white-haired elder gave Su Changkong another warning.

“Lord Duanmu, I’m going in.”

Su Changkong nodded to Duanmu Tao as a greeting, then stepped into the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb; the elder closed the stone door behind him.

To Duanmu Tao’s surprise, the white-haired elder exclaimed, “The Xia Yan family is actually willing to let an outsider enter the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb?”

The white-haired elder had not heard of Dao Wufeng’s name and knew that he was not a martial artist sworn to the Great Flame Royal Family.

Duanmu Tao said, “Brother Blade… he is quite extraordinary, which is why the royal family made an exception for him to enter.”

The white-haired elder stroked his beard and nodded slightly, “Then, old man, I am a bit expectant. Based on my perception, his Blade Intent in the Sea of Consciousness is just beginning to form. If entering the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb once can hone his Blade Intent to a minor achievement, that would already be quite remarkable. He might last about half a month in there.”

Duanmu Tao nodded as well; he had made a similar estimate. He had seen Su Changkong in action more than once; Su Changkong’s pseudo Divine Skills were strong, but his blade technique was only at the level of an ordinary Five-Qi Grandmaster.

Although the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb was a place to temper martial intent, it was more like ’ripening’ and ’honing.’ Only those with the potential and talent could progress quickly; otherwise, if one didn’t learn it, they just couldn’t learn it. Entering the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb many times would not be very effective!

Both Duanmu Tao and the white-haired elder knew that Su Changkong was extremely extraordinary. Entering the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb once could save him ten or twenty years of arduous cultivation, and honing his Blade Intent to a minor achievement would be quite good!

Su Changkong, of course, did not know what they were thinking. He had already stepped into the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb and followed the passage all the way to the interior, the center of the cave.

In front of him was a spacious plaza, and Su Changkong saw crystal stones. These crystal stones, of unknown material, seemed to contain flowing blade and sword shadows. The crystal stones were humanoid, big and small, and there were at least a thousand pieces.

“Every crystal stone… represents a Five-Qi Grandmaster who has achieved martial intent?”

Witnessing this spectacular scene, Su Changkong couldn’t help but feel amazed.

A few thousand years of accumulation had created this secret realm of the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb!

Slowly approaching the very center of the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb, there was a vacant space and a circular platform. Su Changkong sat down cross-legged on the platform, surrounded by luminous translucent crystal stones.

Beyond that, everything was calm, everything seemed very ordinary.

But Su Changkong knew that once he released his own Blade Intent, he would attract the martial intent of the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb to attack him. If he couldn’t persist, he would have to give up and leave the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb, or else his life would be in danger!

“Let’s begin!”

Taking a deep breath, he adjusted his condition to its peak. Su Changkong then prepared to start his cultivation in the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb.

“Hum! Hum! Hum!”

Releasing his Blade Intent, in his Sea of Consciousness, the Blade Intent trembled.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

As if provoked, the crystal stones around the circular platform where Su Changkong was seated burst into bright light.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

From inside one humanoid crystal stone, a strong Sword Intent slashed towards Su Changkong, sharp and unwavering. It was the Sword Intent left behind by a Five-Qi Grandmaster proficient in swordsmanship.

Su Changkong did not hesitate, immediately releasing his Blade Intent to counter it.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

In the air, a series of metallic clashing sounds exploded, Sword Qi and Blade Gang blasted apart, as if two Grandmasters skilled in swordsmanship and blade technique were fighting.

Su Changkong concentrated his mind, daring not to be negligent. Although he had trained Five Animal Frolics to the level of pseudo Divine Skills, and his combat strength was strong enough to be called a Great Grandmaster, his Blade Intent was only at the ordinary level of a Five-Qi Grandmaster.

If he just confronted the various martial intents in the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb with his Blade Intent, one misstep and his Sea of Consciousness would be damaged, ending his journey in the Ten Thousand Soul Warrior Tomb!

In the clash between Blade Intent and Sword Intent, Su Changkong, through his great potential and understanding, saw the Sword Intent transform into a white-robed man holding a longsword.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

In the air, Su Changkong’s Blade Intent took the form of a ’black-clothed blade man,’ engaging with the phantom shadow of the white-robed man in continuous battle.

Su Changkong struggled somewhat; the white-robed man’s swordsmanship was too swift and fierce, yet with every move, it was a return to simplicity and unyielding directness. Su Changkong, relying solely on blade technique, could only manage to fight to a draw, or even be slightly at a disadvantage.

However, as Su Changkong persisted for a while, the phantom of the white-robed man dissipated and shrank back into the crystal stone.

But before Su Changkong had a chance to catch his breath, another crystal stone began to shine—the next was a completely different martial intent from the sharp Sword Intent.

“It’s Staff Intent!”

After several collisions, Su Changkong roughly sensed the type of martial intent he was facing. Using his ability to materialize intent and his strong powers of comprehension, in his eyes, the originally ethereal Staff Intent solidified into a bald man holding a long staff.

Every move of the opponent, sweeping and smashing, all of its variations and trajectories were vividly displayed before him!
