“Understood!” Hearing Qin Chen's command, everyone responded in unison. Although they were unsure of Qin Chen's purpose, none had any doubts and all pushed their senses to the limit.
“Young Master Chen, I sensed it.”
Before Qin Chen could traverse a few paths, a voice rang out. It was Wang Qiming.
A dense aura of blade energy emanated from him.
When Qin Chen looked over, he realized that Wang Qiming had sensed the path of the blade.
The path of the blade was remarkably powerful, like an overwhelming ocean, surging and sweeping forth.
Wang Qiming indeed had the strongest perception of the sword path.
“Good, you stay here.”
Qin Chen left Wang Qiming behind and turned to leave.
Wang Qiming stood proudly in the void, watching Qin Chen's retreating figure, then turned his head and closed his eyes.
A vast aura of blade energy slowly spread from his body.
In his mind, he seemed to see a magnificent river, within which was contained terrifying blade energy. Each splash felt as if it could shatter him to pieces.
The path of the blade.
Boom! The splashes hit him, and he immediately felt an overwhelming sense of fragmentation throughout his body.
“What a powerful aura, what terrifying blade strength,” Wang Qiming thought in shock.
However, there was not a trace of fear in his heart; instead, ecstasy surged within him.
Amidst this sharp blade path that seemed capable of tearing a person apart, Wang Qiming stepped forward, channeling his own power.
Buzz! The terrifying blade aura spread around him, as if he had merged with the surging waves.
The crashing tides could not obstruct his steps as he moved forward, but suddenly, there appeared a gap ahead, seemingly blocking his progress.
“This... should be the gap that Young Master Chen spoke of, right?”
Wang Qiming's heart stirred.
Concentrate! He shouted sharply, condensing the primordial power around him. Instantly, the surrounding primordial power gathered and coalesced into the gap ahead.
Rumble! The gap ahead emitted a tremendous roar; although he could see nothing, Wang Qiming sensed that the gap was slowly mending.
Waves of power continuously crashed against him, and this force was overwhelming, yet Wang Qiming remained steadfast.
Like a rock.
In terms of talent, Wang Qiming was not particularly high; traversing from the five nations in the northwest of the Tianwu Continent, he encountered many with talent comparable to his.
But in terms of will, Wang Qiming had always been one of the most resilient beside Qin Chen.
As a commoner, he trained for nearly twenty hours a day with his sword to excel in the academy, even sleeping with his sword.
He ventured deep into the mountains, battling fierce beasts, exhausting his life force and resulting in countless scars.
This was how he became the fourth place in the year-end exam of the Tianxing Academy.
He was even one of the earliest young men to awaken the intention of the blade among the five nations.
In terms of talent, he was not as gifted as many; in terms of resources, being born a commoner, he was at a significant disadvantage compared to others. The reason he reached this point was due to his will and belief.
Thus, upon arriving in the heavenly realm, he immediately displayed terrifying talent, facing almost no bottlenecks.
Now, he had become one of the few powerful individuals in the chen di pavilion, and over the years, his cultivation had reached the pinnacle saint master realm.
However...
He had never touched the venerable realm.
The gap between saint master and venerable was too great; even with the primordial power in the heavenly realm being significantly restored and the power levels enhanced, breaking through to venerable was not an easy feat.
At this moment, when Qin Chen brought him to the path of the blade, Wang Qiming instantly understood a principle: this was an opportunity, a chance to help him break through.
Seize it, and he could step into a whole new realm.
Boom! Wang Qiming could feel the gap ahead slowly mending as he operated, but the speed was not fast enough for him. He directly activated his own sword's primordial power to fill this gap.
