The hundred-year lecture passed in a blink.
As the echoes of the Daoist teachings faded from Golden Tortoise Island, countless immortals who had listened to the lecture awoke from their state of enlightenment.
No matter how much one gained, listening to the Dao for a hundred years was extremely valuable for anyone.
For a moment, many immortals eagerly discussed with their fellow Daoists, exchanging their insights and learnings.
Golden Tortoise Island quickly regained its lively atmosphere.
Yu Lei put away the Time Wheel and also recovered from his state of listening to the Dao and seeking enlightenment.
However, as he reminisced about his gains, he was still somewhat dazed.
After a century of listening to the Dao and seeking enlightenment, Yu Lei's understanding of the Law of Formations had surged to 40%!
His understanding of the Law of Swords had even reached 50%!
From Golden Immortal to Taiyi Golden Immortal, and then to the Great Golden Immortal Realm, one must comprehend the laws. One must comprehend the laws to 100% and transform them into Dao. At that time, one will fulfill one of the conditions for breaking through to the Great Golden Immortal. However, ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortals are considered strong if they can comprehend and understand three or four tenths of the laws.
Yu Lei, currently only at the Golden Immortal Realm, had already reached such a level of understanding of the laws, which was incredibly terrifying.
With such a terrifying level of swordsmanship, sweeping through those at the same level, even surpassing levels and fighting Taiyi Golden Immortals, was no problem!
Not to mention his level of understanding of the Law of Formations was also very high!
Aside from his gains in these two Dao laws, Yu Lei had other impressive achievements.
Minor Divine Ability Swordsmanship, like the Minor Divine Ability Formations that Yu Lei had previously comprehended, was one of the Earthly Fiend Minor Divine Abilities and was the foundation of all swordsmanship. For Yu Lei, it was quite rare.
Apart from this, there was the most surprising gain.
Ten Great Formations!
Heaven's Extinction Formation, Earth's Fiery Formation, Wind's Roar Formation, Ice Formation, Golden Light Formation, Blood Transformation Formation, Fiery Formation, Soul-Falling Formation, Red Water Formation, Red Sand Formation!
Yes, the Ten Great Formations, known for their formidable reputation in the Conferred God, had all been comprehended by him!
Each formation was capable of allowing the array master to fight beyond their level.
Not only that, after comprehending all ten formations, Yu Lei was astonished to discover that these ten formations could be fused!
The fused formation would be the true Ten Great Formations!
Its power would directly increase by a level.
Yu Lei even doubted that with his Golden Immortal Realm, once he deployed the fused Ten Great Formations, he could even trap a Great Golden Immortal.
Of course, such a terrifying formation naturally required extremely demanding conditions to deploy.
Yu Lei not only needed to collect the various materials required for the Ten Great Formations, but also had to divide his mind to manipulate ten different formations, making them work together as if they were one formation.
This was simply too difficult for a Golden Immortal's Divine Soul.
But despite the difficulty, Yu Lei quickly decided to gather the materials required for the Ten Great Formations as soon as possible.
What if he encountered a Great Golden Immortal who didn't follow the rules one day?
After reviewing all his gains, Yu Lei was very satisfied.
Although his realm hadn't directly increased, his combat strength had definitely improved tremendously!
Now, there was still a hundred-year interval before the second lecture, and Yu Lei planned to leave Golden Tortoise Island and explore a bit, to see if there were any opportunities.
He had a hundredfold time flow rate. If he spent all hundred years in seclusion, it would be equivalent to ten thousand years. Naturally, Yu Lei felt that would be a waste.
Reading ten thousand scrolls is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Sitting in meditation and cultivating for ten thousand years is no match for exploring the world for a hundred years.
Maybe he would encounter some top-tier opportunities while exploring, saving him from ten thousand years of arduous cultivation.
Just as Yu Lei was about to leave, the sword intent emanating from him unintentionally drifted out.
This sword intent carried a sense of ethereal detachment, yet also a boldness of breaking through all laws with a single sword!
This was the sword intent that Yu Lei had comprehended after mastering half of the Law of Swords.
However, Yu Lei didn't know how shocking his comprehended sword intent was to the current Primordial World.
I have a single sword, capable of breaking through all laws!
In later generations, this was almost a universally acknowledged fact.
But in reality, it was a conclusion painstakingly summarized by generations of swordsmanship masters.
To cultivate the sword with the heart of breaking through all laws with a single sword, naturally, one's swordsmanship would be unmatched!
It was precisely after that that swordsmanship was recognized as the Dao of unparalleled attack and killing!
However, at this time, swordsmanship wasn't as prominent in the Primordial World.
In the Primordial World, ten thousand laws flourished. Swordsmanship was only just emerging, and naturally lacked the boldness of breaking through all laws with a single sword.
The Dao of Swords, capable of breaking through all laws with a single sword?
Were the Saints and Quasi-Saints cultivating other Daos unable to wield a blade?
Moreover, among the top ten pillars of the Three Thousand Daos, the Dao of Swords didn't hold a position.
And purely in terms of the inherent power of the Dao laws themselves, the Dao of Swords, the Dao of Blades, the Dao of Spears... were actually all similar.
But Yu Lei didn't know this. When he comprehended the Dao of Swords and comprehended sword intent, he unconsciously integrated this understanding into it.
Regarding the sword intent he had comprehended, Yu Lei only felt it was extremely powerful. He simply thought it should be this way.
Those around him were not knowledgeable enough, and no one paid any attention to the faint trace of sword intent unintentionally revealed by Yu Lei.
However, there was one true connoisseur on Golden Tortoise Island at this time.
The current number one swordsmanship master of the Primordial World, the Primordial Lord of the Heavenly Path!
A Saint was one with the Heavenly Dao, let alone Golden Tortoise Island, the Primordial Lord of the Heavenly Path's own Daoist grounds. Any movement on it couldn't escape his notice.
The moment Yu Lei revealed his sword intent, the Primordial Lord of the Heavenly Path, who had been closing his eyes and resting in Biyou Palace, instantly opened his eyes!
"This sword intent?!"
The Primordial Lord of the Heavenly Path's face showed a look of delight. He had cultivated for countless years and witnessed countless sword intents, but none had ever moved him so deeply!
That boldness of treating ten thousand laws as nothing, of breaking through ten thousand laws with a single sword, even the Primordial Lord of the Heavenly Path was captivated by it!
Although the Primordial Lord of the Heavenly Path had achieved Sainthood through the Dao of Swords and the Dao of Formations, he only treated the Dao of Swords as an ordinary Dao to cultivate and comprehend.
For countless years, his achievements in the Dao of Formations were more prominent: the 诛仙剑阵 (Zhu Xian Sword Formation), the 万仙阵 (Myriad Immortals Formation), the 十绝阵 (Ten Great Formations), the 九曲黄河阵 (Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation), etc.
Compared to these, the Primordial Lord of the Heavenly Path's swordsmanship was relatively unremarkable.
But at this moment, the Primordial Lord of the Heavenly Path saw a different path from that surging sword intent.
Breaking through ten thousand laws with a single sword didn't mean that the Dao of Swords was superior to ten thousand laws.
Its true meaning lay in the fact that when a sword cultivator possesses the heart of breaking through ten thousand laws with a single sword, their sword intent becomes unstoppable!
With unstoppable sword intent, sword energy traverses heaven and earth, becoming even more powerful!
When one's sword intent becomes so strong that it overlooks all laws in the world, confident that with their sword in hand, they are unparalleled in the world...
Then breaking through ten thousand laws with a single sword in hand is no longer an empty claim!
