Three days was neither long nor short.
Ouyang Zhuge was in seclusion, preparing for the battle in the fighting ring three days later.
Fang Chen, on the other hand, was much more relaxed.
He had nothing to do, so he headed for the sword embryo.
The place where the sword embryo was located was called the Heavenly Sword Platform.
The Heavenly Sword Platform was made of tens of thousands of ferocious swords.
Fang Chen arrived at the foot of the Heavenly Sword Mountain. He looked up and saw that it was densely packed with official disciples of the Sword Way faction.
Usually, almost all the official disciples would come here to practice their Sword Way.
Buzz!
Fang Chen was about to step on the platform when he suddenly felt a faint ripple in the air.
Then, the golden heart started to beat rapidly.
"Hmm."
Fang Chen was a little confused. Could the golden heart have sensed the aura of the sword embryo?
As expected, the speed at which the golden heart was beating was much faster than it had ever been before.
Moreover, Fang Chen could clearly see that as the golden heart was beating, strands of cocoon silk quickly entered the golden heart.
"What is that?"
Fang Chen was shocked. Although he did not know what the cocoon silk was, he felt that it had a lot to do with the sword embryo.
"This sword embryo is really strange," Fang Chen muttered to himself.
Then, he stepped onto the Heavenly Sword Mountain.
Boom!
Just as he stepped onto the Heavenly Sword Mountain, Fang Chen felt a terrifying sword qi pouring down on him.
Caught off guard, he was almost forced back. Fortunately, he activated his perfect sword body and blocked the terrifying sword qi.
After he steadied himself, Fang Chen carefully felt the terrifying sword qi pouring down on him.
He knew that the sword qi came from the sword embryo.
"The aura of the Sword Way is so strong." Fang Chen was a little surprised.
Then, he also knew that the steps on the Heavenly Sword Mountain were also a test.
If he could not even climb the steps, he was not qualified to meditate before the sword embryo.
Thinking of this, Fang Chen was surrounded by sword qi as he walked step by step to the peak of the Heavenly Sword Mountain.
When Fang Chen was halfway there, he suddenly stopped and closed his eyes to feel the Sword Dao.
However, this scene was seen by some of the official disciples on the mountain peak. They all sneered at Fang Chen.
"Who is this brat? He can't even pass the stairs, and he wants to reach the peak?"
"Eh, this kid looks very familiar. I think I've seen him somewhere before."
"Isn't that the new official disciple Fang Chen? He offended Ouyang Zhuge as soon as he came to the Sword Way Faction. How arrogant."
"That's right. It's said that three days later, he and Ouyang Zhuge will fight on the battle stage."
Some of the official disciples were talking amongst themselves, and it didn't take long for them to know Fang Chen's background.
"It's very difficult for new disciples to pass the steps."
Many official disciples shook their heads. They didn't think that Fang Chen would be able to reach the top.
After that, he didn't waste any more time and continued comprehending the Sword Dao.
As for Fang Chen, he didn't care about the mockery of the crowd.
He wasn't trapped here because he was comprehending the Sword Dao.
The aura of the Sword Dao on each step was different.
Feeling the completely opposite aura of the Sword Dao would help him comprehend the Sword Dao.
After staying on the mountainside for about an hour, Fang Chen suddenly opened his eyes.
At this time, the golden heart was beating faster and faster.
It seemed to be very excited and wanted to reach the peak quickly.
Fang Chen took a step forward and continued to climb.
However, at this time, no one noticed him.
For the rest of the time, Fang Chen was unhindered.
Soon, he reached the peak.
There was a huge Heavenly Sword Platform on the Heavenly Sword Mountain.
Its aura was shocking.
"This is the Heavenly Sword Platform."
Fang Chen's heart was filled with astonishment.
The Heavenly Sword Platform made of tens of thousands of peerless fierce swords was indeed extraordinary.
Looking at the Heavenly Sword Platform from afar, Fang Chen felt very depressed.
"The fierce aura is too strong."
If one's mind wasn't strong enough, it was easy to get lost.
Fortunately, Fang Chen had gone through the Path of the Supreme Realm, so his mind was unusually strong. He easily resisted the terrifying fierce aura.
On the 30-foot tall Heavenly Sword Platform, there was a palm-sized sword-shaped treasure.
This was the legendary Sword Embryo.
From afar, the Sword Embryo was a little blurry and only a shadow could be seen.
In fact, it wasn't a matter of distance, but because there was a very powerful formation around the Sword Embryo.
What Fang Chen and the rest saw was merely what they saw through the array formation.
"That's the Sword Embryo."
When he saw the Sword Embryo, Fang Chen's eyes widened.
The golden heart was beating loudly, and Fang Chen's blood was boiling.
Fang Chen felt that the golden heart wanted to get close to the Sword Embryo.
However, he forcibly controlled his body and didn't move.
"What a strong Sword Dao aura."
Fang Chen couldn't help but exclaim.
This was the legendary Sword Embryo, the most powerful Sword Dao treasure in the Old Hua Islands.
Only the official disciples of the Old East Alliance were qualified to cultivate near the Sword Embryo.
"Cultivate."
Fang Chen didn't waste any more time. He sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.
In an instant, he entered a state of enlightenment.
What Fang Chen didn't know was that the moment he stepped on the peak, the Sword Embryo on the Heavenly Sword Platform trembled slightly.
No one noticed.
Immediately, the Sword Embryo calmed down.
When Fang Chen closed his eyes, traces of Sword Qi flowed out from the Sword Embryo and quietly entered the golden heart, then turned into silk.
Time trickled by.
After a few hours, some martial artists woke up from their cultivation.
"Yes, he reached the peak."
One after another, warriors woke up and were shocked to see Fang Chen.
A new disciple had reached the peak so quickly.
Seeing Fang Chen cultivating, the crowd shook their heads in surprise.
On Heavenly Sword Mountain, there were disciples coming and going.
In short, there were always so many people here.
Many disciples did not waste a single second of their time here to cultivate.
Cultivation on Heavenly Sword Mountain wasn't something that could be done at any time.
The Old East Alliance had strict rules.
Every official disciple could only come here for two hours a month to cultivate.
This was also to prevent disciples from becoming demonic.
If one spent a long time cultivating on Heavenly Sword Mountain, even the most resolute of people could become demonic.
If they did, they would be seriously injured, and in the worst case they would die.
Those who were able to join the Old Eastern Alliance were the cream of the crop.
The Old East couldn't afford such a loss.
However, those who came here for the first time were an exception.
They could cultivate at will until they couldn't hold on any longer.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Fang Chen was still in a state of enlightenment.
The surrounding disciples came and went, all of them surprised.
In these two days, the Golden Heart had undergone great changes.
Fang Chen's understanding of the way of the sword had increased rapidly.
Fang Chen's mastery of the Thunderfall Sword had been perfected.
Buzz!
At some point, Fang Chen opened his eyes.
In truth, it was the Golden Heart's vibration that had caused him to open his eyes and stop cultivating.
"The Sword Embryo is very strange."
Fang Chen sighed inwardly.
Cultivating in front of the Sword Embryo for too long could lead to demonic obsession.
Fang Chen examined his body, and was very satisfied.
"Worthy of the Sword Embryo."
Fang Chen stood, and sighed.
Then he left the Heavenly Sword Mountain without looking back.
Although it was his first time here, he could cultivate endlessly.
But after these two days of cultivation, Fang Chen also knew the Sword Embryo's fearsomeness.
"If I can't control it, I'll become demonic," Fang Chen muttered to himself.
Fortunately, he had the Golden Heart, which constantly reminded him. Otherwise, it would be very dangerous.
Walking down Heavenly Sword Mountain, Fang Chen turned to look at the Sword Embryo at the peak, and then left.
Actually, when he was cultivating at the peak of Heavenly Sword Mountain, the Demon Sword had also acted strangely.
It was absorbing the sword aura from the Sword Embryo through the interspatial ring.
Feeling the Demon Sword's vibration, Fang Chen asked, "Demon Sword, do you know the origin of the Sword Embryo?"
Hearing this, the Demon Sword was silent for a moment, and then said, "I don't remember. Some of my memories have been lost."
The Demon Sword's words were filled with sorrow.
The Demon Sword was too demonic, and it had gained sentience. It was very scary.
It had memories, but some of them had been lost.
Fang Chen was very curious. What happened back then that caused a treasure like the Demon Sword to be damaged?
But every time he asked about it, the Demon Sword would remain silent.
Fang Chen also did not ask. One day, he would completely control the Demon Sword. At that time, the mystery of the Demon Sword would be completely solved.
These two days of cultivation had also tired Fang Chen.
When he returned to his courtyard, he found Kong Zhong there.
"Senior brother Fang Chen." Kong Zhong hurriedly greeted when he saw Fang Chen return.
Fang Chen looked at Kong Zhong and saw that there were some bruises on his face.
"What happened?" Fang Chen asked.
Kong Zhong opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end.
"Senior brother Fang Chen, it's nothing." Kong Zhong said.
"If you have something to say, then say it." Fang Chen directly said.
Hearing this, Kong Zhong hesitated for a long time, then said in a low voice, "Senior brother Fang Chen, because I was close to you, a few of your in-name disciples vented their anger on me. They even stole my Sword Embryo."
"Mm."
Fang Chen frowned, somewhat unhappy.
"They are from Ouyang Zhuge's faction. In order to curry favor, they ganged up on me.
If it was one on one, I wouldn't be afraid of any of them. "Kong Zhong helplessly said.
"What did they steal from you?" asked Fang Chen.
"They stole my Sword Embryo. If it was an ordinary Sword Embryo, then it would be fine. But that Sword Embryo was given to me by my mother. It's very important to me."
"They ganged up on you."
Fang Chen sneered.
The grudge between him and Ouyang Zhuge actually involved Kong Zhong.
"Who are they? Take me to them," said Fang Chen.
"Senior brother Fang Chen, you just have to help me take back my Sword Embryo." Kong Zhong was pleasantly surprised.
"Don't worry. Lead the way."
In truth, the reason Kong Zhong had come here was to ask Fang Chen to help him take back his Sword Embryo.
But he was too embarrassed to ask.
He hadn't expected Fang Chen to be so straightforward.
A moment later, Kong Zhong brought Fang Chen to the in-name disciples' residence.
