"Mo Qingyuan, it seems your Sword Peak has truly found a treasure this time."

After a long while, Daoist Scarlet Brow and the others finally let out bitter laughs, casting gazes full of envy toward Mo Qingyuan.

For beings at their level, envy was almost unimaginable.

Even earlier, when they failed to win Li Yun from Mo Qingyuan, they had only felt a touch of regret.

In a few days, such matters would usually dissipate like smoke and clouds, leaving no real impression in their hearts. At most, they might recall that there had once been such a kid when they saw Li Yun again.

But now, they were genuinely feeling envy.

Only they knew just how extraordinary it was to preliminarily grasp the Mountain River Sword Art in only half an hour.

On the surface, the Mountain River Sword Art was only a top-grade Earth Rank martial skill. While it might be difficult for ordinary cultivators to master, it was not impossible for a genius at the Heavenly Core Realm.

However, this martial skill was different from ordinary top-grade Earth Rank martial skills.

It had actually been simplified from a high-grade Heaven Rank martial skill. Although it only contained a fraction of the original technique’s essence, it still carried a trace of the Dao’s rules.

The so-called Dao was an incredibly profound and mysterious concept.

Even a powerhouse at the perfection stage of the 9th level of Spirit Manifestation Realm could only touch a trace of its surface. Only a Dao Resonance Realm powerhouse could truly comprehend its existence.

In fact, the greatest difference between a Dao Resonance Realm powerhouse and a 9th level Spirit Manifestation Realm cultivator lay in comprehension and mastery of the Dao.

Furthermore, the difference in strength between Dao Resonance Realm powerhouses was often reflected in their level of mastery over the Dao. A high-level Dao Resonance Realm existence could effortlessly sweep through a large group of ordinary Dao Resonance Realm experts.

Even though Daoist Scarlet Brow and the others were existences at the 9th level of Spirit Manifestation Realm, it was uncertain whether even they could master the Mountain River Sword Art within half an hour.

"It seems this kid is still more suited for your Sword Peak."

Yan Jiubian shook his head and completely abandoned the thought of poaching Li Yun to Soul Peak.

Although there was competition and conflict among the six great peaks, they were ultimately all part of the Profound Origin Immortal Sect. In the end, decisions still had to be made based on the interests of the sect as a whole.

Being able to preliminarily master the Mountain River Sword Art in such a short time clearly showed that Li Yun’s talent in the sword path had reached an extremely monstrous level.

If he did not enter Sword Peak, it would be a loss for the entire Profound Origin Immortal Sect.

"Indeed."

Mo Qingyuan smiled faintly.

To be honest, even he had not expected that a kid he casually brought back would possess such talent.

His gaze involuntarily turned toward Li Yun. However, upon looking, he could not help feeling somewhat stunned.

After leaving the Enlightenment Space, Li Yun was still sitting with his eyes closed. His brows were tightly furrowed, and he wore a deeply thoughtful expression, looking no different from those who had not yet emerged.

For Li Yun, merely preliminarily mastering the Mountain River Sword Art was clearly not enough.

What he cared about more was how to integrate the Mountain River Sword Art into Slow Sword.

Of course, achieving this step was obviously not something that could be done overnight.

Time gradually passed.

After half a quarter of an hour, Fan Wuhen became the second person to awaken from the Enlightenment Space.

His first action was to look toward Li Yun.

Seeing Li Yun’s frowning and thoughtful appearance, Fan Wuhen instinctively assumed that Li Yun was still inside the Enlightenment Space, and he immediately felt relieved.

Although he was not a narrow-minded person, any cultivator would dislike being overshadowed by others. Naturally, he did not like being surpassed by Li Yun.

Almost immediately after, Bai Xueya also awakened.

Like Fan Wuhen, her first action was also to look toward Li Yun.

Similarly, upon seeing Li Yun still deep in thought, she also visibly sighed in relief.

Surprisingly, the fourth person to awaken was not Yun Canglan, but Chu Yuan.

Like Fan Wuhen and Bai Xueya, after awakening, he too immediately looked toward Li Yun.

Those who awakened next, including Yun Canglan, Xuan Long, and the others, all acted in exactly the same way. Every one of them unanimously looked at Li Yun. In this regard, everyone seemed to share an astonishing tacit understanding.

However, Li Yun remained with a deeply furrowed brow and a contemplative expression, leading them all to believe that he was still within the Enlightenment Space.

"This guy is not that great after all."

Seeing that the one-hour time limit was about to expire, some cultivators curled their lips and sneered. "No matter how compatible he is with the sword path, his comprehension ability is still pitifully poor. He actually has not passed the Enlightenment Space after all this time. What a waste of his talent."

"Exactly. We thought he was a genius, but in the end, he is still trash. It is a complete joke that such a person became an elite disciple in advance."

"In my opinion, with such terrible comprehension ability, no matter how extraordinary the phenomenon he triggered was, he does not deserve to be an elite disciple. I think his elite disciple qualification should be revoked."

These people had already been filled with jealousy because Li Yun had leaped directly to third place on the Candidate Elite List and had been promoted to elite disciple in advance.

However, due to the talent Li Yun had displayed, as well as the importance the six vice peak masters placed on him, they did not dare voice their dissatisfaction even if they felt it.

Now, seeing that the hour was almost over and Li Yun still had not seemed to emerge from the Enlightenment Space, his apparently poor comprehension ability gave them the perfect excuse to make trouble.

"Li Yun, what exactly is going on with you?"

Zhu Heng frowned, looking at Li Yun with concern.

In this comprehension ability test, he had successfully passed half a quarter of an hour early, officially passing the Profound Origin Immortal Sect’s entrance test.

But seeing Li Yun’s current state, he could not feel happy at all.

In his view, a mere comprehension ability test should not have been difficult for Li Yun. The scene before him was simply incomprehensible.
