After her mental power entered the tombstone,
In the next instant, Yun Jin discovered that she had appeared in an otherworldly space.
This space was ice-blue as far as the eye could see.
What followed was a bone-piercing cold.
This place was…the Ice Jade Sword's trial?
Yun Jin looked around with some curiosity.
On the surrounding ice-blue walls, a simple sword technique was engraved.
Did this mean that as long as one learned this sword technique, they could pass?
Yun Jin didn't rush to act. She first examined the sword technique.
The level of this sword technique seemed to not even reach Huang Level. With her abilities, she could master it instantly even without the system.
So the first stage was this simple?
No wonder Ma Yuanwu cleared it so quickly.
Even if each time he entered this space the sword technique trial was different, sword techniques of this level were indeed far too simple.
As Yun Jin looked at it, she still felt like something was off.
She circulated her mental power, carefully probing every inch of the ice-blue space.
Her cultivation was only at the Golden Core Stage, but her mental power was far stronger than that of ordinary Soul Transformation Stage cultivators, making her an extremely lopsided monster.
Coupled with Liuli's training, Yun Jin's control over mental power far surpassed that of others.
Under her meticulous probing, she actually discovered something unusual.
Yun Jin stepped forward and lightly placed her hand on a certain snowflake on the wall.
In the next instant.
The ice-blue wall slowly disappeared, and that snowflake suddenly drilled into Yun Jin's mind.
"Tester has discovered the core. Core trial activated."
After that.
In Yun Jin's mind, a woman dressed in blue began to demonstrate a sword technique.
Yun Jin naturally learned the name of this sword technique.
"Ice Moon Sword Technique."
The sword was the Ice Jade Sword.
The woman wielding the sword was the Spirit Moon Immortal from a thousand years ago.
Hence, Ice Moon Sword Technique.
Compared to the casually carved moves on the walls, this Ice Moon Sword Technique was far more difficult.
Judging by its level, it was already a low-grade Xuan Level sword technique.
It was on par with Second Senior Sister's Lotus Blossom sword technique.
After completing one full demonstration, Spirit Moon Immortal stopped and smiled faintly in Yun Jin's direction, "This sword technique is a casual creation of mine. I'm afraid there may be no return from this great battle. I leave this sword technique to one who is fated."
After that, Spirit Moon Immortal once again demonstrated the sword technique.
After demonstrating it a full three times, the image of Spirit Moon Immortal completely disappeared.
Yun Jin slowly opened her eyes.
The sword technique had already been imprinted in her heart, and at the same time, she obtained a piece of information.
As long as she used a sword move from the Ice Moon Sword Technique to leave a mark on the wall, she could pass the trial.
This trial didn't require the tester to fully master the Ice Moon Sword Technique. As long as one could learn a single sword move and leave a mark, it was considered a pass.
Yun Jin swung her sword, casually using one sword move and leaving a mark on the wall.
"Trial completed. Do you wish to leave the space?"
A voice asked.
Yun Jin thought for a moment and refused.
She thought that this space was extremely mysterious. It seemed to be specially created for the Ice Moon Sword Technique. Here, her comprehension speed of this sword technique became extremely fast, and even her understanding of other ice-attribute sword techniques improved as well.
This wasn't merely a trial ground!
It's a treasure ground for practicing swordsmanship!
"System!" Yun Jin chose to directly use Emotion Points.
She wanted to completely master this sword technique here.
After all.
The system also had a function to upgrade sword techniques. If she could learn one Xuan Level sword technique in every trial, she would soon be able to synthesize another De Level sword technique.
It's probably because this space reduced the difficulty, when Yun Jin rolled satisfactory results, the Emotion Points consumed was far less than for other Xuan Level sword techniques.
Very satisfied with this, Yun Jin began honestly practicing swordsmanship.
One hour passed.
Most people had already reached the second stage, except for…
Qin Ping looked at Yun Jin on the water screen and couldn't help feeling a bi surprised.
Judging by everyone's clearing speed, the first stage shouldn't have been difficult.
Why was Yun Jin stuck for so long?
Mu Lan also noticed this and couldn't help mocking, "This person's sword seems extraordinary. Destroying the sword-testing stone earlier was likely relying on the sword's sharpness. Unfortunately, in this sword tomb, no one cares how sharp your sword is, only sword dao talent matters. Taking this long just to pass the first stage, this person likely has no sword dao talent at all."
Qin Ping didn't speak, but in his heart, he always felt that something wasn't quite right.
Did Yun Jin truly have no talent in swordsmanship?
After a full two hours, Yun Jin finally opened her eyes.
She hadn't spent much time getting started with the sword technique, but practicing the Ice Moon Sword Technique in this space caused her proficiency to rise far too quickly, and she had been reluctant to leave.
In two hours, with the space's enhancement, she had directly cultivated the Ice Moon Sword Technique to the second level.
If the space hadn't forcibly expelled her, Yun Jin felt like she could've continued practicing.
She stood up and looked at the Ice Jade Sword with some reluctance.
This Ice Jade Sword was a good thing.
Although the sword itself was destroyed, a great expert had used astonishing methods to shape a treasure ground inside the sword body that was most suitable for cultivating ice-attribute sword techniques.
If she could enter this space at will, would her sword technique proficiency skyrocket?
Unfortunately, this Ice Jade Sword was a bit stingy. It kicked her out after only two hours.
Yun Jin drooped her head dejectedly and continued walking inward.
"Two hours, and you finally moved forward," Yu Lin couldn't help mocking. "That counts as setting a record for the slowest clear for the first-stage."
The first stage was basically a free point stage.
Most people passed it very quickly. Someone like Yun Jin, who wasted so much time, was absolutely unheard of.
At this moment, the fastest, Ma Yuanwu, had already reached the fourth stage.
Feng Linglong and a small number of others were already breaking through the third stage.
It was worth mentioning that among this small group was also Yu Songnian.
Third stage.
As Feng Linglong opened her eyes, Yu Songnian also opened his.
The two almost stood up at the same time.
Feng Linglong couldn't help but look at Yu Songnian in surprise.
This person had arrived later than her, yet cleared the stage at the same time as her?
Could it be that his sword dao talent was even higher than hers?
While Feng Linglong was surprised, Yu Lin's expression became somewhat ugly.
This Yu Songnian had once been hailed as a super genius only seen once in a thousand years within the Yu family.
His talent in swordsmanship went without saying. If not for that strange illness later on, his current cultivation would likely not be inferior to Ma Yuanwu's.
Now that the sword domain didn't test cultivation and only talent, it allowed Yu Songnian to somewhat stand out.
Yu Songnian nodded toward Feng Linglong and directly walked toward the fourth stage.
Feng Linglong's heart tightened, and she hurriedly followed.
There were only three slots in total.
With such a powerful person suddenly appearing, she absolutely couldn't fall behind.
"Yu Songnian." Mu Lan narrowed his eyes. "This person's sword dao talent is indeed good. Unfortunately…"
Unfortunately, he carried that strange illness, and his cultivation would only regress and never advance.
If cultivation couldn't keep up, no matter how astonishing one's sword dao talent was, it's useless.
It's destined only to become a stumbling block for others.
At this moment, Yun Jin also slowly arrived at the second stage.
