Chapter 197 - 193 Outside the Dojo
Outside the Shadow Bearing Sword Arena, towering stone walls were covered densely with sharp swords.
Beside each sword, there were engravings, vigorous and powerful, imbued with Sword Intent. These engravings filled the stone wall with an intangible Sword Aura, as if the swords and engravings were about to pierce through the wall.
This was the Sword Wall of the arena, forged from an extraordinary material. On the outer wall, the engravings belonged to the genius cultivators of the Green Cloud List from previous generations. To train in the Shadow Bearing Sword Arena, one must leave engravings on the wall—the stronger one’s talent in Sword Dao, the deeper the marks left.
The top geniuses could leave engravings that penetrated the wall by three inches.
However, for those with mediocre talent—such as those with weak foundations or lackluster Sword Intent—the engravings would fade away on their own, failing to leave marks on the wall.
If that happened, even cultivators from the Green Cloud List would be denied entry into the dojo.
Only those on the Green Cloud List who manage to leave engravings could enter the dojo.
At this moment, many people stood beneath the Sword Wall, gazing at it with awe.
Rumor had it there was another stone wall within the dojo. The swords embedded in it all belonged to Great Sword Cultivators, who left their engravings behind. Each character on the wall carried profound insights into the Sword Intent of the Great Sword Cultivators.
The myriad of characters on the wall varied. Some left their full names, some left only their surnames, while others etched unrelated characters, with varying depths and strengths.
