Chapter 691: You Will Forever Only Live in the Shadow of Your Elder Sister! The Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King Loses His Composure!
"Tianming, Feng Lan, look over there, there's a huge wordless stone tablet ahead!"
"Xiyue, it seems you've missed something. Below that floating, wordless, immense tablet, there's a smaller stone with inscriptions!"
Lin Tianming listened to the conversation between Meng Xiyue and Feng Lan, then he turned to look at the smaller stone tablet under the huge wordless stele.
"Sword... Dao... Stele..."
As Lin Tianming read out the words inscribed on the small stone tablet beneath the Sword Dao Stele one by one, Meng Xiyue and Feng Lan also recognized that the immense wordless stone before them was the Sword Dao Stele.
Meng Xiyue earnestly sensed the aura of the Sword Dao Stele.
"So this is called the Sword Dao Stele? No wonder just standing in front of it, I feel a boundless expanse of Sword Dao engulfing me, making me feel utterly insignificant..."
"I once thought I had an unparalleled understanding of Sword Dao... Now it seems... I was arrogant... In the midst of this vast, illusory multitude of Sword Daos, I am but a grain of sand in the ocean..."
Immersed in the Sword Dao Stele's seemingly endless array of Sword Daos, Feng Lan, who always prided herself as a Sword Dao prodigy, also felt as minuscule as dust.
Lin Tianming heard Feng Lan and Meng Xiyue's sentiments, but he did not feel insignificant at all.
He smiled and said: "Feng Lan, Xiyue, actually your Talents are not inferior to the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King's. If you were of the same era as her, you would definitely be among the strongest True Gods now. What you lack compared to her is merely time!"
Lin Tianming's consolation greatly comforted Feng Lan and Meng Xiyue.
Indeed, by being Reincarnators, they became Seventh-Order Gods in their teens, what is there not to be satisfied with?
In the same era, without the benefit of being a Reincarnator, the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King couldn't possibly achieve such feats at their young age!
Being top-tier Superpower Awakened talents before their rebirth, and after rebirth, aside from the powerhouse Lin Tianming, it was impossible for anyone to have a Talent higher than theirs!
Thinking of this, Feng Lan and Meng Xiyue regained their usual Reincarnator's confidence.
Seeing their confident smiles return, Lin Tianming chuckled and gently rubbed their heads.
"This is the Feng Lan and Xiyue I know; confident, beautiful, and exceptionally talented!"
"Don't get caught up in those trivialities, concentrate on comprehending the multitude of Sword Daos contained in this Sword Dao Stele. Not everyone has the chance to be in touch with the Sword Dao Inheritance of the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King at such a young age!"
Under Lin Tianming's continuous encouragement, the reassured Feng Lan and Meng Xiyue nodded their heads vigorously.
"Yes, Tianming!"
With that reply, Feng Lan and Meng Xiyue began to immediately comprehend the multitude of Sword Daos within the Sword Dao Stele.
Lin Tianming did not rush to comprehend, but instead quietly watched over Meng Xiyue and Feng Lan.
Because he felt that for someone following the Primordial Chaos Dao, deducing the myriad Tao Laws of the universe, these multitude of Sword Daos were actually not difficult.
Since he was confident in easily grasping these multitude of Sword Daos, he could first watch Feng Lan and Meng Xiyue undergo their comprehension and cultivation.
After the two Goddess Reincarnators finished their comprehension, there would be no delay in him starting his own.
What Lin Tianming himself didn't expect was that this vigil would last for about a month.
It seemed the Sword Dao Stele contained so many Sword Daos that it took the Reincarnators like Meng Xiyue and Feng Lan such a long time to comprehend them.
And...
And the two of them have not yet finished their comprehension exercises!
Pinching their delicate cheeks, Lin Tianming felt that instead of just watching over them, he might as well try comprehending the multitude of Sword Daos on the Sword Dao Stele.
It was uncertain how long it would take him to comprehend the multitude of Sword Daos that took Feng Lan and Meng Xiyue over a month and still had not finished.
"The Lin Tianming seems to be starting his comprehension, Wind Language Witch, our bet has finally come to the point of determining the final winner and loser!"
Inside the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Palace, noticing Lin Tianming's intention to start comprehending the multitude of Sword Daos she left on the Sword Dao Stele, the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King took the initiative to remind the Wind Language Witch.
Her stunning face was full of pride and confidence.
On the contrary, the Wind Language Witch who was reminded by her lost her previous calm and composure, her pretty face full of worry.
"You keep reminding me not to forget our bet, and I hope you don't forget that you have to leave Lin Tianming's alliance and firmly stand by my side if you lose!"
The roles of attacker and defender were reversed, and just like the Wind Language Witch had teased her earlier, the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King reminded the Wind Language Witch to abide by their bet.
However, compared to Wind Language Witch's teasing attitude, the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King's arrogant and disrespectful posture of looking down on others, was more of a provocation than a tease.
Ignoring the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King, the Wind Language Witch's eyes stayed fixed on Lin Tianming in the projection.
The more she remained silent, the more the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King felt she had the upper hand.
With an unstoppable smile on her lips, the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King's attitude was as arrogant as could be.
With a snap of her fingers, she took out a Spiritual Power Wine Jar materialized by Spiritual Energy and two Spiritual Ability Wine Glasses from her Storage Space.
Controlling the wine jar with her Spiritual Energy from a distance, she deliberately filled the two glasses with Spiritual Power Brew.
One glass slid towards the Wind Language Witch sitting beneath the great hall; the other was for herself.
"Our dear Witch Lady, prepare to lose the bet and abandon your laughable alliance!"
The Wind Language Witch had no interest in drinking at the moment. The Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King's actions were a way of trampling the dignity of the Wind Language Witch from a high and mighty stance.
This scene was also deliberately recorded by her and played to Lin Tianming through a Spiritual Ability Image Box.
Just at this time, Feng Lan and Meng Xiyue had just finished their contemplative training and had also witnessed this scene.
For the bet between the Wind Language Witch and the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King, they had seen it together with Lin Tianming when they first arrived.
Thinking of the myriad of Sword Daos contained in the Sword Dao Stele, they were also worried that Lin Tianming would not be able to perfectly comprehend so many Sword Daos.
At the same time, they were also angry at the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King for starting the champagne early and trampling on the dignity of the Wind Language Witch.
"Tianming, this Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King is utterly detestable!"
"Exactly! She is clearly humiliating the Witch Lady!"
The Wind Language Witch was the benefactress who brought them to practice in the Spiritual Power Divine Country, so Meng Xiyue and Feng Lan naturally did not wish to see her humiliated.
However, the angrier they got, the happier the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King, who was also observing the situation at the Sword Dao Stele, seemed to be.
The Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King, with her elbow resting on the throne's armrest, propping up her chin, loved this lazy and comfortable posture most when her arrogance peaked, looking down and despising others.
This time, she was even interestedly swaying her wine glass with her right hand, sipping a little.
She was not fond of drinking, but doing so made her arrogant posture ascend another step.
She liked to look down on those who hated her to the bone, yet were incapable of doing anything to her, in such a manner.
"This is why... I am the highest existence in the Spiritual Power Divine Country today!"
"My sister, the Wanling Divine Lady, fell because she wasn't as outstanding as me!"
"All of you from the Genetic God Country and the Mechanical Divine Country, who can only be swept into the dust of history, you can band together however you like, just don't come to my Spiritual Power Divine Country!"
"As long as I, the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King, am strong enough, I alone can steamroll the entire Deceit God World!"
Mad... it was simply too mad!
But now, Feng Lan, Meng Xiyue on-site, and the Wind Language Witch in the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Palace, none of them had the confidence to refute the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King.
They believed Lin Tianming's Talent was definitely stronger than that of his counterpart, the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King of the same era, but no matter how strong, it was impossible to perfectly comprehend the myriad Sword Daos accumulated by the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King over endless eons in one go...
Were they really just fit to be trampled on by the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King?
"This is the fate of the weak; ever since my sister died in the battle ten thousand years ago, I have had an epiphany!"
"Only by truly taking power into one's own hands and having the strength to push all enemies horizontally can one avoid being betrayed... and avoid powerless rage!"
"Now I... am capable of taking the Spiritual Power Divine Country to unprecedented new heights!"
"This is something my sister could not achieve during her lifetime! The era of the Wanling Divine Lady has ended; now is the time of the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King!"
"This king... finally doesn't have to live under the shadow of my sister's supreme glory, always having to bear the prefix of being the Wanling Divine Lady's little sister when mentioned!"
As she spoke, the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King laughed more gleefully, her brazenly arrogant laughter knowing no bounds.
"When I establish the grand achievement of annihilating the Deceit God, anyone who mentions the Wanling Divine Lady will think of the highest existence in the glorious Spiritual Power Divine Country... No!"
"Of the Three Ascension Divine Kingdoms... of this world! The most majestic and supreme glory of the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King's sister before..."
Before the last word "fixed" could be spoken, the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King, who was nearly maniacally arrogant, was suddenly silenced by Lin Tianming's performance on the screen.
This time, under the watchful eyes of the Wind Language Witch, Meng Xiyue, and Feng Lan, who all held no expectations, Lin Tianming once again created a miracle.
He used the power of Primordial Chaos to instantly and perfectly deduce the myriad Sword Daos that the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King had accumulated over endless eons!
This time it wasn't just one Sword Qi or one Sword Intent, but those countless Sword Dao inheritances that were too numerous to count!
And they were all instantly and perfectly comprehended by Lin Tianming...
This... this was simply too preposterous!
After successfully comprehending the myriad of Sword Dao inheritances left on the Sword Dao Stele by the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King, Lin Tianming knew that the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King was watching.
Flashes of the humiliating scenes when Angel Xingyao was imprisoned and expelled by the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King...
The scenes of the Wind Language Witch's dignity being trampled on by the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King...
As well as the series of arrogant and brazen remarks that the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King had deliberately recorded to provoke him along the way...
To seek justice for all the people he cared about, Lin Tianming too responded with an extremely arrogant demeanor.
"A myriad of Sword Daos? To think these quantities of garbage Sword Daos even deserve the term 'myriad'? What a joke!"
"I can instantly comprehend any number of such garbage Sword Daos!"
"I had thought that as the current supreme being of the Spiritual Power Divine Country, the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King would have some ability. This trip to the Ten Thousand Sword Valley, I am very disappointed in you, Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King!"
"No wonder everyone in the Spiritual Power Divine Country thinks you are not as good as your elder sister, the Wanling Divine Lady; now it seems this is indeed true, you will forever only be fit to live in the shadow of your sister, the Wanling Divine Lady!"
"In endless years to come, when you fade from the stage of history in the Spiritual Power Divine Country, those who mention you will only add the prefix of the little sister of the Wanling Divine Lady, that's all!"
Under the barrage of Lin Tianming's verbal jabs, especially the last one about her not living up to her sister, the Wanling Divine Lady, directly shattered the Ten Thousand Sword Spirit King's Sword Dao Heart.
The materialized Spiritual Ability Wine Glass slipped from her hand, and shattered upon the ground.
And her Sword Dao Heart, shattered by Lin Tianming, also made a fragmented sound like that of the shattered Spiritual Ability Wine Glass.
"Am... am I really not as good as my sister, the Wanling Divine Lady?"
