Comprehension Ability: I Come From the Great Emperor Family

The intense roar of the outside world seemed not to disturb Su Changqing.

He stood in the center of a vortex of boundless Sword Intent, with a golden line between his brows rapidly solidifying.

A noble aura of domineering majesty was beginning to rise with the appearance of that line.

At this moment, deep within the sea of consciousness of Su Changqing.

A colossal golden sword, standing sky-high and immense, towered at the center of the sea of consciousness.

The brilliant light illuminated this divine sea of consciousness wholly.

"What...what a huge sword."

Su Changqing stood before the sword, mouth agape, looking up at the seemingly endless sword tip.

"Where...is this place?"

He murmured softly, gazing at the world around him illuminated by the golden light.

"This is your world."

An aged, gentle laughter sounded out.

Su Changqing turned around to see an elder in ancient attire, a sword strapped to his back, walking toward him slowly.

With each step the elder took, ripples of gold spread under his feet, as if he were walking on a lake. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"My world?"

Su Changqing looked around in wonder.

For some reason, he felt no wariness or resistance towards this suddenly appearing elder.

"Indeed."

The elder gazed at the sky-reaching golden sword, speaking with both comfort and admiration:

"A remarkable world."

Su Changqing didn’t understand what this meant, and curiously looked at the elder,

"Who might you be, Senior? Why are you here?"

The elder chuckled at these words, "Just a pitiful soul whose family was destroyed."

After speaking, he looked at Su Changqing, unable to hide the smile in his eyes,

"Child, do you wish to learn the sword? A very powerful sword."

Su Changqing’s eyes brightened at these words, "Of course, I would like to learn! Would you teach me, Senior?"

"Of course, but there is a condition."

The smile on the elder’s face deepened as he said:

"This sword’s legacy is scant in the world. When you meet someone suitable, remember to pass on this sword."

"Pass on the flame for generations to remember."

Pass on the flame?

Su Changqing showed a puzzled look; isn’t this something only a sect leader would worry about?

He thought it would be some difficult condition, but it turned out to be this simple.

"Rest assured, Senior!"

Without further thought, Su Changqing said solemnly:

"If I achieve anything in the future, whenever I encounter someone fit for this sword’s legacy, I will teach them all I know without holding back!"

Whose mentorship shaped Su Changqing?

An immortal scholar of this era!

Confucianism places great importance on legacy and selflessness.

Others might be hesitant about this, but to Su Changqing, it seemed only natural.

The elder observed Su Changqing for a long while, seeing the clarity in his eyes and sincerity in his spirit, he couldn’t help but laugh.

Then the laughter grew and echoed throughout the entire divine sea of consciousness.

Amid the laughter, the elder placed two fingers on his brow, and a golden line instantly appeared.

"Sword Soul! Come forth!"

Boom!

Golden light of immense brilliance erupted, and the noble, domineering aura spread extensively.

A gold giant sword slowly emerged from the elder’s brow and then towered at the center of the consciousness sea.

Su Changqing focused his gaze.

This sword was very similar to the sword at the center of the sea, but the gold was much lighter and smaller.

However, unlike the sword at the center which lacked an overly dominant aura,

Unknown to all, this aura was the essence of soul and legacy!

"Merge!"

The elder’s fingertips formed seals continuously, and the golden giant sword in the sky emitted a dazzling light, gradually merging into the sky-reaching golden sword.

Boom!

In an instant, the golden giant sword at the center emerged with a regal might that made heaven and earth bow!

The intensity of that will instantly surpassed the later appearing golden sword.

Moreover, as the golden sword merged with the similarly sourced gold sword, it burst forth with overwhelming divine golden brilliance!

The noble divine gold color instantly outshone the originally dazzling golden giant sword to dimness.

"Gathering the ’Emperor’ Intent of my Sword Emperor Sect’s thirty-seven thousand six hundred Sword Cultivators, it has finally taken that most crucial step!"

"Emperor, shall eventually be called ’Great Emperor’!"

Feeling the overwhelming intent of supreme sovereignty, the elder laughed uncontrollably.

In the Sword Emperor Sect, after the fall of an era, came its transformation and a new Sect Leader!

The Soul of the Sword Emperor, Su Changqing!

After the laughter, the elder’s body became much more transparent, as if it might disperse with the wind at any moment.

But he paid no mind, merely looked at Su Changqing and waved him over with a slight smile,

"Child, come here."

Su Changqing approached, gazing at the elder’s ethereal form with a worried expression, "Senior, you..."

"It’s nothing."

The elder shook his head dismissively and smiled softly, "I don’t have much time, so I need to tell you some things."

"That ’Emperor... Golden Pattern’ should not be revealed lightly, for it may bring you some trouble."

"In the Ancient Times, our sect was feared by the ’Celestial Sword Immortal Palace’, and then one day, our Sword Emperor Sect was annihilated in a single day, severing its legacy."

"There are those who do not wish for the Sword Emperor’s legacy to appear in the world, so until you grow strong, you should avoid the Celestial Sword Immortal Palace’s notice."

In the Ancient Times, the Sword Emperor Sect held the highest seat in Sword Dao, a sect with countless powerful forces, yet it was annihilated in a single day.

Though they never even saw who acted against them, only the Great Emperor of that time could possess such terrifying power!

And that era’s Great Emperor hailed from the Celestial Sword Immortal Palace!

"The Ancient Times?"

Su Changqing chuckled upon hearing this, saying: "A sect so ancient probably no longer exists."

"Rest assured, Senior, I will be cautious."

Su Changqing at this moment understood as well.

He seemed to have inadvertently become embroiled in a struggle between two lineages of power.

However, he was not overly concerned. The Ancient Times, such a long span of time, the other side has likely vanished in the river of time by now.

The elder hesitated to speak.

This world is far larger than Su Changqing could imagine.

The Great Emperor has the ability to open small worlds, and every ten thousand years, when the path of the Emperor becomes apparent, those transcendental powers emerge.

Though much time has passed, he believes, the Celestial Sword Immortal Palace surely still exists in the world.

Yet he thought for a moment and refrained from explaining further to Su Changqing.

Currently, Su Changqing is still too weak; having pressure, of course, is beneficial.

But too much pressure can breed a heart of awe and fear, which are the largest stumbling blocks on the growth path of Emperor Intent!

The Sword Emperor Sect Leader should be supreme and fearless of everything!

Thinking of this, the elder smiled and nodded, "Perhaps you are right."

"It’s just a small sect; if it still exists, once you have grown, you can repay it with a sword."

Upon hearing this, Su Changqing seemed a bit embarrassed and somewhat expectantly asked:

"Senior, is our legacy powerful?"

"Compared to other Sword Cultivator legacies, could ours rank in the upper middle?"

The name Sword Emperor Sect is very imposing, but Su Changqing is almost immune to these boastful sects.

The Little Immortal Sect he is about to join even has ’Immortal’ in its name, does that mean it’s really powerful?

Yet it is just a small sect established a few years ago.

As long as this legacy has mid-level strength, he would be quite satisfied.

"Uh... mid-level?"

The elder was stunned upon hearing this, then couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

A Sword Cultivator sect feared by the Ancient Great Emperor, how could it possibly be mid-level!

Sword Emperor Sect!

It was the world’s foremost Sword Dao sect, holding the sword as the chief!

Boom!

Before the elder could explain, Su Changqing’s sea of consciousness suddenly trembled violently.

It seemed that the battle outside was not going well, and Su Changqing was affected.

He felt dizzy, his consciousness growing dim and blurred.

The increasingly transparent elder glanced at the outside world, then looked towards the dazed Su Changqing and smiled, softly murmuring,

"Let me use this remnant to grant you a power that reaches the peak!"

"And let the myriad companions of the Sword Emperor Sect witness the flair of a budding ’Emperor Pattern’!"

With those words, the elder laughed as he merged like a phantom into Su Changqing.

In that instant!

A terrifying aura surged to the heavens, the entire sea of consciousness roiling in immense waves.

Outside!

The sleeping Su Changqing suddenly opened his eyes, and the divine golden pattern at his brow erupted with holy radiance, illuminating the heavens like a rainbow!
