The moment I entered the Dragon Leaping Pool, I clearly felt that the rules around me began to change, which were more complex than those in the lower realm, and it was much more profound. The sacred aura that enveloped my head still did not dissipate. When I looked up, I could see an old man with fairy spirit in the air, with a pair of peaceful eyes looking at me, and said with a smile: "Boy, you are too slow."

"Are you the Senior Artifact Spirit?"

“That’s right.”

He put his hands behind him, his aura was transcendent, and said, "Can you start to enter the Ninth Heaven? You have wasted nearly a hundred breaths. If you can't get out of the Ninth Heaven within two hours, you will be beaten back to the lower realm. Do you understand?"

"I understand, let's start!"

I clenched my fist gently and nodded.

The old man with the spirit of the weapon reached out and flicked it. The scene in front of me changed instantly. I fell into the bottom of a huge pool. The smoke and waves were vast like the ocean. The sunlight shone in, which was particularly dazzling. The sky seemed to be divided into pieces, with a total of nine layers. The gap between each layer was insurmountable, thus forming the Nine Heavens.

His body was light and Wang Li could still walk in the air even if no one was present.

"Ahem cough cough..."

I coughed gently, pulled out the Immortal Bone Sword, used it on the ground as a crutch, and walked into the first level of heaven step by step.

The old man from the Artifact Spirit frowned and said, "Are you poisoned?"

"That's right, Jiuyou Qi Poison."

"The lower realm actually has the Nine Nethers strange poison?"

"In fact, it was the people from the upper realm who broke through the world. I fought with him until the end and was poisoned."

"What?"

The old man from the Spirit of the Artifact seemed a little angry and said, "Which family is it?"

"Immortal Pavilion."

"Hmph, the despicable villain of Immortal Pavilion..." The old man was slightly angry and said, "Child, do you know who I am?"

"Senior?"

"I existed in the Dragon Realm for 50,000 years ago. Because I was sainted, my holy soul was immortal after my death and became the guide spirit of the Dragon Realm Leaping Dragon Pool. In other words, I am an ancient person in your realm."

As he said that, his eyes softened and said, "It seems that you were poisoned by fighting for the lower realm. Since that's the case, I can save you some difficulties, but the test of the Ninth Heaven cannot be ruined. Do you have to choose to break through the Ninth Heaven with your strength or by your own tricks?"

"Yi Qiao." I smiled helplessly, "Senior, you have seen it too. I don't even have the strength to kill a chicken. If you call me a master to fight, I will lose with one move."

The old man Qiling nodded and smiled: "That's right, I can see that you have a deep cultivation in the swordsmanship. Since that's the case, according to the ancient rules of the Ninth Heaven of the Jump Dragon Pool, I will consider you with the Ninth Heaven of the Sword Taoist, and only test the rules. If you can pass, you can still walk out of the Yuelong Pool and enter the upper realm. Are you willing?"

I couldn't ask for it: "I'm willing!"

"Get in!"

After stepping out of the first level of the Nine Heavens in the true sense, the surrounding boundary walls began to become clear, and there were wisps of words surging. The words contained a very deep sword intent. For a moment, the sword hearts in my body began to resonate with all the words around me, and there was a certain synesthesia between them and all the words around me. Only at this moment, the surrounding words quickly dissipated, and a huge disc appeared under my feet, holding my body up in the air, breaking through the first level of limitation, and entering the second level of heaven.

The voice of the old man with the spirit of the weapon came: "Yes, what the first level of heaven tests is the sensitivity to swordsmanship. You resonate with the shallow swordsmanship in just one breath. It is already good in the mortal world, and now you have entered the second level of heaven."

...

The second heaven is surrounded by tranquility, and regular walls seem to form a mirror, reflecting light. And wisps of words begin to appear on a bright mirror in front of me, in total three lines.

The old man from the weapon spirit said: "The second level is to test your understanding. Here is a sword technique. You need to comprehend it as quickly as possible. Don't spend too long, otherwise it will affect your subsequent seventh heaven passing time."

"Understood."

I immediately sat cross-legged, stared at these three lines of words, remembered the words one by one, and deduced specific moves through the heart of swords in all things. This deduction was quite good. The swordsmanship in the upper realm were different from the rules of the lower realm. This move in front of me was at least a top-notch sword technique in the lower realm, but I don’t know it according to the classification of the upper realm, but it was quite complex.

Not long after, open your eyes.

"Okay?" asked the old man from the weapon spirit.

"yes."

I raised my hand and held the Immortal Bone Sword. Although I had no power, the sword blades also exuded a transcendent sword intent. A few "swish" sounds, the sword blades passed through the air, outlining three curves. Suddenly, the curves intertwined, forming a killer move. The attack of the unmanned king power actually evolved into a very terrifying sword intent.

“Not bad, not bad.”

The old man from the weapon spirit narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Next, I'll send you into the third heaven."

The body rose again and entered the third level of the sky. The surroundings were covered with scrolls of paintings, with landscapes, figures, fields, etc. on the scrolls connected in pairs to form a coherent sword intent. But at the first moment, I knew what the third level of the Ninth Level of the Sword Dao was tested, and my coherent mastery of sword moves.

Raising the Immortal Bone Sword, without inner deduction, began to evolve sword moves one by one, and connected them together, either advance or retreat, attack or defend, and perfectly matched the sword moves with body movements and offensives. After only three practices, it reached the level of flowing water, and all the scrolls immediately dissipated.

The old man with artifact spirit exuded his praise in his eyes: "Very good, the third level of heaven has passed, and then enter the fourth level of swordsmanship."

...

In the fourth level, there are vastness everywhere, fog is covered, and nothing can be seen. You can only hear the sound of flutes coming from the sea of ​​fog, and there is a mystery of swordsmanship hidden in the sound of flutes. Every turn, the ups and downs are like the evolution of sword intent, full of agility and murderous aura. I sat down quietly, knowing that this level is not so good, so I closed my eyes and listened attentively.

I don’t know how long it took, but I suddenly stood up, grabbed the Immortal Bone Sword and started wielding the exercise.

"Swish!"

The sword intent is invisible and penetrates the void. With the dancing sword light, three tricks with murderous intent are practiced one by one. It is the move hidden in this flute sound.

The moves are not fixed, but the sword intent evolved from the sound of the flute is the same.

"good!"

The old man with a spirit of weapon appeared with a faint smile on his face and said, "Child, do you know that there are very few monks who have chosen the Ninth Level of Sword and Heaven for thousands of years, because the Ninth Level of Sword and Heaven is the most difficult of all test methods. From the Middle Ages to the present, no more than ten people have walked out of the Yuelong Pool with the Ninth Level of Sword and Heaven, and the total number of people who passed this fourth level of test is no more than fifty thousand, which is too difficult."

"Fifty thousand people? So many..." I was shocked.

He laughed, and said nothing. He brushed his sleeves and took me to the fifth level of Jiandao Heaven.

Within the fifth level of heaven, there were vitality, and there were bushes of shrubs, woodlands and flowers. Birds and birds were chirping in the sky, and the atmosphere became birds singing and flowers. But I realized at the first time that these trees were just illusions, and what was hidden was the rules of swordsmanship, just like the sword and world that I observed when I first saw the sword god.

Here, every flower and every tree are swordsmanship.

"I think you already know the way to test."

The old man from the Artifact Spirit smiled and said, "Whenever you comprehend a wisp of sword intent, it will naturally dissipate. When you turn this area into a clear area, you will naturally pass the level."

I sat cross-legged without saying a word, wielding the sword heart of all things, and began to observe the plants, flowers and birds around me.

When I opened the sword path sky eye, it became much easier to observe. After counting breaths, a tender green grass turned into a sword intent that soared into the sky in my eyes. With a slight sound of "sand", it turned into nothingness, becoming a bunch of clouds and smoke disappeared into the wind. Then, the surrounding plants and trees appeared one by one, and each plant was a sword intent, which was also a small rule.

This ninth level of swordsmanship seems to be a test, but it is not a kind of cultivation of swordsmanship. Once passed, it will have endless benefits to mastering swordsmanship.

Soon, the flowers, birds and trees around me dispersed one by one, and my mastery of the sword path began to sublimate a little, filling in many defects. It seems that the Ninth Heaven of the Sword Path is the first step for me to enter the upper realm to practice, and it is a very precious step. No wonder the Divine Vine Tree insisted on letting me enter the Ninth Heaven. So that's the case, he must have taken the lead in understanding.

"good!"

The old man with the spirit of the weapon nodded and said, "I have not been able to survive a sword genius like you for more than five hundred years. Now I send you to the sixth level of sword genius. Remember, be careful of arrogance and impatience, the more you go, the harder it will be."

I nodded: "Yeah!"

The ground under his feet began to rise, and in a blink of an eye, it entered the sixth soaring sky. Suddenly, a bloody battlefield was turned around. A series of red figures wielded swords to fight in the wilderness. Thousands of people were killed in a group, unable to distinguish between each other. Strands of swords that rushed into the sky were raging, shattering the crowd, and even slashing the stars in the sky soared into a shaking place.

So strong, even the Nine Heavens Stars were shaken. How strong is this sword intent?

"This level is asking."

The old man of the weapon spirit appeared in the air, with a pair of fairy-like swaying eyes looking at me, and said, "The way of swordsmanship is the way of conquest, the way of kings. Since ancient times, all soldiers and swords are the leader. In your heart, what is the supreme swordsmanship?"

I was shocked. Is this test just a question or an answer?

After pondering for a moment, I looked up at him and replied, "Adhere."

"What is stability?"

"With sword asking, to pacify the world, the final result of all conquests is to pacify, and the ultimate purpose of all killing is to protect. Since swordsmanship is the way of conquest, it is naturally the king's way, and the king's way lies in dominance and to stabilize the world."

The old man from the weapon spirit narrowed his eyes and smiled, "What would you do if you were in charge of the supreme swordsmanship?"

"Protect the order of one world and make the people of the world look up to you."

"Okay, you can go to the seventh level of Jiandao!"

He looked bright and said, "Child, you are very surprised by your understanding of kendo."
Chapter completed!
