Legend of the Great Sage

ble to answer him.
Were any of those who became great sword cultivators not sword cultivator prodigies? They even happened to be among the best of the best.

“Let’s keep watching.
He’ll encounter a great bottleneck very soon.
Right now, the sword moves he’s comprehending are merely the basics among the basics.”

When Li Qingshan comprehended a thousand and one moves, his movements suddenly halted, as he had already comprehended all of the most basic elements that comprised this Sword Domain of Heaven and Earth, ranging from as small as a blade of grass and a droplet of dew to as large as a white cloud and a mountain.

“Li Qingshan, I do admit that you’re a part of our path of the sword.
Your name can basically be written into the Sword Collection palace’s history for comprehending over a thousand sword moves in such a short amount of time.” Elder Tian sighed with a sense of delight.

“Alright, let’s stop here for today! Don’t bite off more than you can chew.
These thousand sword moves require a decade at the very least before you can fully grasp them.
They’re enough for you to use for the rest of your life,” said elder Di.

“Can the two of you shut up? When others are cultivating, don’t disturb them.
You’re already so old, yet you don’t even understand this?” Li Qingshan called out rudely.

“You-” The Elders of Heaven and Earth were furious.
Even the surroundings responded.
It had already been many years since someone last spoke to them like that.

“You sure know how to take it too far! Then why don’t you keep comprehending? Don’t even think about leaving the Sword Domain of Heaven and Earth until you comprehend one thousand, nine hundred and fifty one moves,” elder Di said furiously.

“Stop comparing me to the likes of you!” Li Qingshan pondered to himself for a moment and suddenly thought of something.
“I got it!”

Li Qingshan began to move again, wielding his fingers like a sword and pointing them at the sky.

Rumble!

A bolt of lightning sliced through the air, and the clouds surged and amassed.
Gentle drizzle fell down, gathering as streams.
The streams seeped into the earth, allowing the vegetation to grow and thrive.
The tiny insects hidden within the soil crawled onto the leaves and branches, letting out their various cries.

It was all thanks to the inspiration from the Elders of Heaven and Earth when they attacked him to test him.
Just gathering the basic elements could not be regarded as a world.
The elements had to work together as well to create even more things.

As a result, he disturbed, reassembled, and derived…

After bringing in these changes, the deductions multiplied in difficulty.
However, Li Qingshan’s movements never stopped despite being slow.

The spirit turtle was calm to the limit and also patient to the limit, deducing it move by move.

The two elders could no longer say anything.
They could not help but call out inside, A little slower! A little slower!

However, Li Qingshan completely ignored how they felt.
Before long, he had exceeded the one thousand, nine hundred and fifty first move that elder Di had mentioned.
A few days later, he surpassed elder Tian’s two thousand, one hundred and forty second move.

The Sword Domain of Heaven and Earth began to demonstrate changes that even the two elders had never seen before.

The sun rose and fell.
The moon vanished, and the stars shifted.
Cold frost layered the ground as winter snow descended.

Apart from the most basic cycle of life, Li Qingshan had drawn in the four seasons as well.

The two elders no longer had any more thoughts.
They only watched blankly as everything unfolded.
What happened next was like a dream to them.
One moment ago, it had been a remote desert, yet now, it was the raging waves of the ocean.

Li Qingshan was like a god, standing in the centre of the world and controlling everything as he wished.
Whether it was the frigidness of glaciers or the intensity of erupting volcanoes, they all contained profound sword moves.

After who knew how long, Li Qingshan suddenly opened his eyes, and the Sword Domain of Heaven and Earth shattered.
He stood in a gloomy, towering hall with two sword-wielding old men sitting nearby, staring at him blankly.
Their mouths hung wide open as if they were completely unaware of that.

Li Qingshan set foot outside the pavilion and only left behind three words that echoed through the Pavilion of Heaven and Earth.

“Three thousand moves!”
