Han Sen entered the garden and felt the swordmind’s influence emerge from the cleft .

The swordmind was strange . Most swordsmen would give people a sharp feeling or a strong sensation of intimidation . But this swordmind in particular was different . It toiled back and forth like waves, endlessly . It didn’t feel intimidating, per se, but it was hard and tough .
It felt as if the swordmind was not strong at first, and everyone had the chance to battle it through their own sheer will . It wasn’t a task only reserved for the capabilities of super beings, though . Those who were gemstones confront it just as well . There were no disadvantages to having a weaker body .
But the swordmind, despite not feeling very strong, would perplex most swordsmen, and leave them unsure of how to proceed . Not even super elites had managed to tame it, and they were often negatively affected by it .
“When people first see it, they aren’t sure if this really is Holy Sword Emperor’s swordmark . They have to spend a while getting a feel for it before they acknowledge how frightening it can be . This swordmind is like an endless river . The pressure it exudes builds up over time, and the more pressure that builds up, the stronger it becomes . Gemstones class creatures can watch it for a few days and without being affected . Super elites can hardly even make it ten . They are affected after some time, and they might even suffer injuries . In some cases, their faith can be broken and their own swordmind damaged,” Xu Mi said .
Han Sen nodded . He practiced had sword skills, and although it wasn’t the best, he had a swordmind of his own .
Especially after seeing Six Paths’ Heartsword . Ever since, his sword skills had developed to become something special . If he was affected by Holy Sword Emperor’s swordmind, it would be a great loss .

Xu Mi went on to say, “Don’t try to use your own swordmind against Holy Sword Emperor’s swordmind . His swordmind is like water . If you use your swordmind against it, it’ll be like trying to go against the stream . The more strength you use, the more pressure will be put against you . If you don’t go against it, you could at least last a few days . If you willingly go against it, I’m afraid you wouldn’t last a day . In only a few hours, your swordmind might be irreparably damaged . ”
“It looks tame, but it is actually overbearing,” Han Sen said .
“Well, it did come from an emperor of the sword generation,” Xu Mi said .
Han Sen felt the swordmind’s rush and likened it to a lapsing tide . He thought to himself, “I have practiced Heartsword . My sword skills are tough . I can challenge the water, never giving up . Going against Holy Sword Emperor’s swordmind is a perfect opportunity to make my Heartsword stronger . ”
Han Sen knew that Furnace Emperor had asked him to go there to see the mark as a form of test . Han Sen didn’t really want to teach Xu Mi, so it didn’t matter that he had to take this detour . He wasn’t in a particular rush to give Furnace Emperor an impressive demonstration .
Han Sen used his swordmind, and then the mark’s swordmind that was previously tame suddenly began to swell .

The stronger Han Sen pushed his swordmind, the more pressure the other swordmind brought down on him . It was just as Xu Mi had explained . Xu Mi saw Han Sen use his swordmind against Holy Sword Emperor’s swordmind, and he became very excited as he watched them fight .
“His swordmind looks like Heartsword . There is definitely a bit of difference between his and Six Paths’ variants, however . ” Furnace Emperor watched Han Sen use his swordmind . He could see it all .
Furnace Emperor had fought Six Paths once . He lost, but the experience made him very familiar with Six Paths’ sword skills .
Xu Mi’s mother, Fire Empress, frowned . “Xu Mi told him what he knows about Holy Sword Emperor’s swordmind, and still he uses his own swordmind to go against it . He is brave, but he is too arrogant . He is not suitable to be Xu Mi’s teacher . ”
Furnace Emperor shook his head . “Don’t be so sure . Although Six Paths Emperor is not as good as Holy Sword Emperor, they are not too far apart . He self-destructed and became an emperor again, starting from scratch . Restarting like that means he might not be any worse than Holy Sword Emperor now . If Han Sen really practiced Heartsword, even if he only managed to nail 70% of it, he will definitely be able to resist the power of this swordmind without bringing damage to himself . ”
“If he only knows 70%, then why not just ask Six Paths to become his teacher instead?” Fire Empress said .

“It’s not that easy to hire Six Paths . If he didn’t take Xu Mi seriously, then paying him would be pointless . ” Furnace shook his head .
“Xu Mi has our great genes . The talents he has must surely be better than those of Six Paths . If Xu Mi is not good enough to be his student, I don’t think anyone in the Fourth God’s Sanctuary would be good enough for him . ” Fire Empress opened her eyes wide . She was like any mother, though, thinking her son was the best .
The pressure building upon Han Sen was becoming a lot . When he used his swordmind, the swordmark that was previously calm suddenly started to rage .
Han Sen felt as if he had been thrust into a rapid river . The other swordmind was griding against his sword skills, and he felt as if he’d be flattened any second .
A swordmind wasn’t all about pure power . The swordmind concerned itself with the sensation of the sword . It was something you could only feel, and not describe . You could not touch it, either, as it was not solid .
But if your swordmind was damaged, things could turn out worse than if you endured a physical injury .
When physical damage was inflicted upon you, you could consult a doctor and use their medicine to heal . But if it was your heart that was injured, nothing could remedy it . You would have to use your own will to fix it .
Han Sen felt as if his swordmind was like steel, but it was getting ground down . His will was being used up quickly . If he had been a person with a weak will, he’d have gone crazy already .
Even a swordsman with a strong will wouldn’t have lasted this long under this sort of opposition . But Han Sen was different . His Heartsword gave him a strong swordmind, and his will was reinforced by the crystallizers . That scary swordmind could not break his will .
No matter how much the swordmind tried to break his will, Han Sen was unmoved . Instead, he allowed his will to get stronger .
Time passed, and so far, an hour had gone by .
“No wonder he is the teacher . He has battled with Holy Sword Emperor’s swordmind for an hour, all without moving . He is better than those super swordsmen,” Xu Mi complimented him .
“He is good,” Furnace Emperor said .
Fire Empress coldly said, “It’s only been one hour . If he can last twelve, and his swordmind is still fine, then he can be Xu Mi’s teacher . ”
