“Nothing to lose?” Elder Jian Ge shook his head helplessly. “Cang Yan, you always do as you please and do not think it over. It’s not like you do not know that the primeval truths inscribed in the saber tomb are too difficult to comprehend. Once it is understood, it would be an excellent achievement!”
“But if one cannot gain any insight, it will be a waste of time! The way of the saber truth is too deep. It can easily cause obsession within a person. What I am afraid of, is that this kid might be too stubborn. Even after failing, he does not know when to stop. At that point, he would be wasting his time and energy.”
Time was too precious for young talents.
As for these talents, they were mostly arrogant and determined. This was generally a good thing, but there were times where it could be a bad thing.
A determined young genius might be mesmerized by the truth of the primeval source.
Even if one stopped him, he would always think about those words as if he was possessed.
At that point, one could not stop him, but neither would stopping him be right. Based on a person’s perceptivity, it would be a waste of precious time if one ended up not figuring out anything!
There were many cases like this in the Tai Ah Divine City. There were even some geniuses who spent their whole lives trying to figure it out, but they only ended up feeling more and more bitter about it. Eventually, their lives were wasted away. Hence, the Tai Ah Divine City took the ancient tomb very seriously. It was not easily opened so they could prevent accidental access.
But this Cang Yan was erratic. Whoever he found ‘interesting’, he would take him to the ancient tomb. He was practically harming them!
“Old freak, all sorts of geniuses come to the Tai Ah Divine City for training. It’s normal to die, yet you are always so careful. How would you nurture a real expert, like a sage? You may object to my actions, but just a few years ago, I brought that little rascal, Qin Haotian in there, and he gained something.”
Qin Haotian was a swordsman. The left of the two chambers in the Tai Ah ancient tomb was the chamber of saber truth, while the right chamber was the chamber of sword truth. Of course, Qin Haotian went into the sword truth chamber.
It was a mystery who left behind the words in both chambers.
Elder Jian Ge shook his head, “Qin Haotian was an exception. He was born for the sword. He is almost one with the sword. Qin Haotian almost cannot leave his sword and he can only use a sword. You cannot expect everyone to be like him. As for Yi Yun, he might not be a person who has to use a saber.”
