Everyone in the side chamber looked at Yan Yang in puzzlement. He looked a little dazed. What was wrong with him? Yan Yang had been rather uncommunicative ever since he entered this side chamber; he hadn’t spoken many words. To suddenly call out to Nie Li was rather unexpected for everyone.
His brows were knitted tightly.
When Yan Yang first looked at that “sword”, he had a peculiar feeling. When he concentrated, he realised that the word contained boundless profundity. Only after a long while of brow-knitting and pondering could he sense the overflowing Dao intent raging at him, trying to devour him whole.
The more Yan Yang pondered over this word, the more shocked he became. To think a youth could have such insight on sword intent! Compared to this supreme Dao intent, his Go piece earlier was far too inferior!
Yan Yang was immersed in that boundless sword intent. The more he thought on it, the more potential he found in the word’s sword intent. He was a tiny drop of seawater in the vast ocean of the universe.
Under the bewildered eyes of the crowd, Yan Yang deeply inhaled and looked at Nie Li. Originally, he thought that his own Dao was enough to completely suppress any expert of his own generation. But now that he looked upon this word, he realised that there was always another sky beyond the sky. There would always be someone stronger!
Nie Li was so young, but he already had such frighteningly deep insights towards sword intent.
After Yan Yang called out to Nie Li, he fixed his gaze on that word.
Long Tianming couldn’t help frowning at Yan Yang’s expression. Could that word in Nie Li’s hand really contain some profundity? Long Tianming turned towards the stage and wrinkled his brows, also trying to glean something from it.
Mingyue Wushuang’s eyes were also fixed on the word in Nie Li’s hands. She couldn’t comprehend as much as Yan Yang could, but she also realised that this word contained some profundity. She sensed that this word contained sword intent that was deep like the sea; but when she tried to take a closer look, she couldn’t enter it.
The geniuses gathered in the side chamber noticed the expressions of those three, and were shocked as they turned back to the word in Nie Li’s hands. Could there really be something profound within it? Otherwise, those three wouldn’t show such expressions.
Yan Yang blankly stared at the calligraphy in silence.
At this, Nie Li understood that Yan Yang was already immersed in the word’s profound sword intent.
The character that Nie Li had written originates from an ancient and supreme expert’s Ten Thousand Heavenly Book of True Intent. The very structure of this word contains that expert’s boundless intent. The “sword” that Nie Li had written was only a representation of the underlying basics, but it was enough for experts like Yan Yang to comprehend for several days and nights.
From this one word, each person could comprehend their own version of intent. Some people could even comprehend different profound sword techniques from it.
If Yan Yang wanted to continue comprehending it, it’d be endless. It would take more than a few days at least.
Furthermore, Nie Li didn’t want Long Tianming to comprehend anything from it!
“This word’s true intents can be written without Dao intent. It’s only a word, after all. I wrote it today so everyone could have a look. For those who could comprehend something from it, you can be considered to be fated with it.” Nie Li lightly smiled and rolled up the paper. “However, let’s end it here!”
Yan Yang felt rather disappointed as he watched Nie Li store the word away. If only he could have several days worth of time, he believed that he could definitely comprehend its true intent and it’d definitely be a great benefit for his cultivation!
Regardless, Yan Yang was still shocked by the display. He stood up straight and said in a respectful voice, “Thanks for the lesson!”
At Yan Yang’s words, the entire side chamber fell into a deathly silence. Those who’d mocked Nie Li just a little while ago couldn’t help gaping. They still couldn’t figure out what was going on, since they couldn’t sense anything from that word. However, Yan Yang shouldn’t be lying. Could that word really contain an intent that the rest of them couldn’t comprehend?
Gu Bei glanced at Ye Xuan and Murong Yu in disdain. “I already told you! The intent in Nie Li’s word is far greater than the performances by those three!”
Ye Xuan and Murong Yu were dumbfounded.
Ye Xuan was in extreme puzzlement. This was simply too unbelievable. In his view, Nie Li hadn’t even reached the Heavenly Fate Realm so how could he have such powerful Dao intent? To the point that it surpassed Yan Yang’s? Not only that, there hadn’t been even the slightest ripple of Dao intent when Nie Li wrote that word.
