Moreover, this was the county capital and he had just left the Prison Department. If someone wanted to kill here, they would have to finish it in one strike.
After some thought, Xu Qing nodded.
Although there was a high chance that this matter was just an accident, Xu Qing was even more vigilant and headed straight for the Sword Holding Palace at full speed.
He arrived very quickly. After using up the one time Emperor Sword comprehension opportunity as a new Sword Holder, Xu Qing's figure disappeared as the array formation in the Sword Holding Palace was activated. He then appeared at the place to comprehend the Emperor Sword in the Sword Holding Palace.
This place was similar to the place of comprehension in the Yinghuang Province's Sword Holding Court. It was also a huge rock with a sword engraved on it. The surrounding ground was filled with array formations and chains wrapped around the large rock.
When Xu Qing arrived, there were already seven to eight people comprehending it. He swept his gaze and noticed that three of them were new Sword Holders of his batch.
Their eyes were closed and there was a protective barrier around their bodies.
Xu Qing retracted his gaze and found a corner to sit cross-legged.
Previously, he had almost succeeded in the Sword Holding Court. Although the Sword Holder from the Sword Holding Court said that this was what everyone felt, Xu Qing felt that it wasn't the case.
This was because in his sea of consciousness, the phantom of the Emperor Sword was still there. Even now, it had not completely dissipated and most of it was still there.
In addition to the comprehension insights Kong Xianglong had shared with all of them earlier, Xu Qing felt that he was very confident that he could succeed this time around.
Hence, anticipation rose in his heart. He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, fusing his perception into the huge rock in front of him.
The instant his perception came into contact with the rock, the blurry feeling from back then surfaced in front of his eyes again.
However, this time around, Xu Qing didn't spend much time. Through the layers of fog, he saw the simple and unadorned sword shadow.
Staring at the Emperor Sword, Xu Qing continued to get closer. That sword became clearer and clearer in his eyes. He vaguely seemed to hear the sound of the sword and saw figures appearing around the sword.
Those figures' appearances couldn't be seen clearly but their movements were very uniform.
They drew their swords and slashed!
However, the feeling Xu Qing got was different. The sword slashes of every figure stirred up waves in his mind, transforming into a storm that echoed with rumbling sounds.
As the storm and rumbling grew increasingly intense, he could vaguely see someone slashing down with a sword. The sea was divided, and deep fissures formed at the bottom of the sea. Moreover, the sword qi persisted and the fissure didn't close.
He also saw the ground collapsing under someone's sword strike. Almost half of a province turned into dust that drifted with the wind.
He even saw someone slashing the forbidden zone; the forbidden zone was directly swept back and shattered.
Other than that, most of the sword slashes were targeted at the nonhuman races. Countless nonhuman races died under the sword strikes, and the mournful cries before they died seemed to be still echoing at this moment.
This lasted until he saw a figure whose face couldn't be looked at directly.
This person wore an emperor's robe and looked extraordinarily mighty and noble. He stood in the sky and slashed at an existence that had stood up from the deep sea. Its entire body was covered in tentacles that emitted endless anomalous substances.
After the sword strike, the existence that walked out of the deep sea let out an earth-shattering roar. Its body shattered into countless pieces and fused into the sea.
The person wearing the emperor's robe was the emperor of the Sword Holding Palace.
And the creature from the deep sea… seemed to be a god.
These scenes were like images that were imprinted in the long river of time. After they kept appearing, as Xu Qing's mind trembled, in the end, all the Sword Holder figures overlapped.
They transformed into a sword!
Xu Qing's mind stirred with monstrous waves.
Six hours later, his figure disappeared from the place of enlightenment.
The moment he opened his eyes, a resplendent sword shadow flashed in Xu Qing's eyes.
He was still shocked. After a long time, he took a deep breath and looked at his sea of consciousness.
Over there, he could clearly see an Emperor Sword shining brightly.
The Emperor Sword had been comprehended successfully!
