　　w.a.n.g Chong’s brow deeply furrowed as he pondered. At this moment, he felt like he had finally grasped the laws of the divine sword.

　　This thought instantly invigorated w.a.n.g Chong.

　　w.a.n.g Chong agilely leapt forward like a civet cat. Clangclangclang! The flying swords once more created a shower of sparks on the chains as they were dodged once more.

　　“Wonderful! The divine sword’s attacks can influence the successor’s Origin Immortal Sword Formation!”

　　As w.a.n.g Chong jumped forward, he had noticed that after he successfully took the divine sword’s attack, for some reason, the power of the flying swords had significantly weakened. As long as he didn’t have to worry too much about the first-generation successor’s attacks, even his own meager strength was more than enough to make it across the chains.

　　“This… How?”

　　Bagus.h.i.+du had already been ready to step forward onto the chains, but when he saw what had happened, his body trembled in shock.

　　Everything that had happened just now had completely overturned his understanding of the world. w.a.n.g Chong didn’t even have the strength to fight against a Profound Martial expert, and he was insignificant in front of someone like Bagus.h.i.+du, but not even Is.h.i.+nis.h.i.+du had been able to cross the chains as easily as w.a.n.g Chong.

　　“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

　　Bagus.h.i.+du’s eyes went wide. He had no way of explaining these events.

　　Buzz!

　　Bagus.h.i.+du’s foot instinctively extended toward one of the chains.

　　“Could it be that Is.h.i.+nis.h.i.+du’s memories were all false? Or did something happen at the end that I don’t know about?”

　　Bagus.h.i.+du was confused and suspicious. He even wondered if he and w.a.n.g Chong had started from different places and stepped on different chains.

　　Buzz!

　　Bagus.h.i.+du’s right foot stepped onto a chain, but at that moment, the Sword Qi howled, and those swords circling in the air immediately shot toward Bagus.h.i.+du like locusts. This power and momentum made him even more frightened than when he had first stepped onto the chains.

　　Bagus.h.i.+du grimaced as he immediately drew back his foot, his face turning ashen.

　　“Just how did this kid manage to do it?”

　　For the first time, Bagus.h.i.+du looked at w.a.n.g Chong with deep unease… and envy.

　　Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Chong continued to advance along the chains. Boom! The Origin Immortal Sword sent yet another attack thundering at w.a.n.g Chong.

　　This time, it was the sword of arrogance.

　　This sword was pointed at the haughty and prideful, but while w.a.n.g Chong had been born in a rich and ill.u.s.trious clan, he was not an arrogant person.

　　w.a.n.g Chong also managed to endure the third sword.

　　One hundred feet, one hundred and fifty feet, one hundred and seventy feet… w.a.n.g Chong advanced with astonis.h.i.+ng speed, seizing this moment of weakness from the sword formation. The fourth sword was l.u.s.t and the fifth was envy. w.a.n.g Chong was able to endure both.

　　The idea in w.a.n.g Chong’s mind grew increasingly distinct.

　　…To think that there was a sword in the world like this. It doesn’t attack flesh or Origin Energy, but attacks the most repulsive desires in one’s heart.

　　Is.h.i.+nis.h.i.+du was a Turkic genius and one of the supreme experts of that age. But that very first trial of obstructive desires was something that he couldn’t pa.s.s. When he ran into the sixth-generation successor on the borders of the Great Tang, he felt envy over the successor’s youth, his Origin Immortal Art, and his boundless techniques, thus committing the crime of envy. And by wanting to seize all the secrets of the Origin Immortal Palace, he committed the crime of greed. Even with Is.h.i.+nis.h.i.+du’s extraordinary power, those three swords would have heavily injured him.

　　As for Bagus.h.i.+du, he obtained Is.h.i.+nis.h.i.+du’s Earthblood Cauldrons and inherited all his memories, but he also inherited his desires. In certain aspects, his desires are even greater than Is.h.i.+nis.h.i.+du’s. Thus, Bagus.h.i.+du isn’t as transcendent as he appears. It’s not that he doesn’t want to try. He doesn’t dare!

　　w.a.n.g Chong understood the situation now like it was a bright and clean mirror.

　　Buzz!

　　The fog seethed and the winds howled. The sixth sword was coming.

　　Rumble! The world seemed to tear apart in front of w.a.n.g Chong’s eyes. Unlike the others, the sixth sword was seething in red flames.

　　Upon seeing these flames, w.a.n.g Chong paled and immediately stopped.
