Comprehension Ability: I Come From the Great Emperor Family

After traveling for several days, Su Changqing finally arrived at the Eastern Domain.

Initially, he could have moved faster.

But unfamiliar with the land, he took many detours and only arrived here today.

Nevertheless, to avoid further mistakes, it was best to ask for directions.

"First time here?"

Ye Xiaoyi's eyes lit up as he examined the 'rookie' before him, who appeared like a scholar.

He coughed twice, put on airs with hands behind his back, and nodded:

"Indeed, this is the supreme holy land of Sword Cultivators, Sword God Mountain."

"Are you here for training or to challenge the Sword God Path?"

Although Ye Xiaoyi was also here for the first time, he put on a proud demeanor as if he was a senior at Sword God Mountain.

In the Sword Pavilion, Ye Zhu kept a strict watch, suppressing Ye Xiaoyi's playful nature.

Now, with no one watching him, Ye Xiaoyi's playful side emerged.

But unbeknownst to him, Su Changqing saw through his naive act immediately.

Yet, he didn't expose him, instead asking with a smile:

"It's my first time here, and I'm not aware of Sword God Mountain's wonders."

"Could you possibly tell me where the Sword Intent is strongest, offering trials of suppression?"

He carried a special kind of inheritance in his consciousness, which could only rapidly integrate under extreme pressure externally.

Ye Xiaoyi mused silently upon hearing this.

It was also his first time here, so how would he know?

However, if it were other questions, he likely couldn't answer them.

But the place with the strongest Sword Intent...

"Naturally, it's the Sword God Path."

Ye Xiaoyi nodded proudly, "By chance, I also plan to challenge the Sword God Path today."

"You're in luck, you can follow me later; if I'm in a good mood, I might lend you a hand."

Su Changqing smiled upon hearing this, "Brother, you have an extraordinary bearing; your talent in Sword Dao must be exceptional."

"I hereby thank you in advance."

Ye Xiaoyi was about the same age as Chu Xi.

At this age, boys are nothing if not fond of hearing compliments.

For this, Su Changqing had honed his skills while interacting with Chu Xi some time ago.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Ye Xiaoyi's smile grew, feeling extremely excited, yet trying hard to suppress, showing a composed look of superiority.

Unable to hold back his rising corners of the mouth, he waved his hand, saying, "Meeting is fate; today I'll grant you fortune."

Witnessing this scene reminiscent of Chu Xi, Su Changqing nodded, suppressing his laughter, and followed along.

However, midway, Su Changqing looked up at the sky in confusion.

From there, streaks of light were coming from all directions.

At the same time, unsure if it was an illusion, the entire Sword God Mountain seemed to carry a foreboding pressure as if storming skies were imminent.

"How strange, so many powerful presences..."

Su Changqing muttered in confusion.

"Sword God Mountain hasn't been peaceful these days; better avoid the front mountain."

Ye Xiaoyi glanced and remarked offhandedly.

Sword God Mountain was enormous, towering into the clouds, steeply sheer.

They were in the rear mountain area, and any unrest in the front mountain didn't affect here.

Upon hearing this, Su Changqing nodded and didn't think much, leisurely continuing his way.

Soon, the two reached where the Sword God Path was located in the rear mountain.

It was a white jade stairway to the heavens, appearing steep yet nothing remarkable.

At that moment, in front of the Sword God Path, many renowned Sword Dao masters were chatting leisurely.

"Ah, this time was worse than last; only reached a thousand steps before getting knocked down."

"Haha, I gained quite a lot, almost across the first trial."

"Really? Congratulations, brother, for advancing further in Sword Dao..."

Everyone present was a Sword Dao expert.

They frequently spent time here contemplating Sword Dao.

And the Sword God Path served as the clearest measure of their progress.

They honed themselves here, one to strengthen themselves, secondly, aiming for the position of Mountain Master at Sword God Mountain.

The Sword God Path consisted of 3,600 steps.

The first thousand two hundred steps constitute a trial, passing all trials and reaching the peak marks one as the current Mountain Master.

But though easy to say, achieving this was exceedingly difficult.

Let alone the three trials, the first one already eliminated ninety percent.

Even for these Sword Dao veterans, the Sword God Path remained daunting.

"See that white jade stairway."

At this moment, as they reached the Sword God Path, Ye Xiaoyi pointed to the top of the mountain, speaking with confidence:

"Today, I will reach the third trial."

"But you..."

With that, he smirked at Su Changqing and said, "Even the first trial might be too much for you."

"Don't worry, follow me closely soon."

"It depends on your skills how much you can learn from me."

Su Changqing nodded with a smile and didn't speak further.

But at this time, a few elderly Sword Dao masters nearby couldn't ignore it.

"Hm, today's youth truly can't appreciate their limits."

"Indeed, talking about reaching the third trial; I bet three hundred steps will be a stretch."

"Haha, alright, what teenager isn't cocky; soon they'll calm down..."

The Sword Dao experts chuckled, speaking openly, not shying away from Su Changqing and Ye Xiaoyi.

They'd seen many like Ye Xiaoyi.

But without exception, they'd return soon after in dejection.

"Hey, you sitting at the mountain's foot obviously wouldn't understand."

Ye Xiaoyi chuckled, walking towards the front of the Sword God Path, speaking:

"In this world, there are people called supreme prodigies!"

With those words, Ye Xiaoyi stepped onto the first stair of the Sword God Path.

Boom!

Instantly, immense Sword Intent surged from the jade stair below.

That Sword Intent seemed limitless, descending with overwhelming pressure.
