Zhao Letian, after entering a deep state of cultivation, realized that the Ten Thousand Abyss was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

To the naked eye, the lake within the Ten Thousand Abyss seemed calm and undisturbed. However, once entering meditation, Zhao Letian felt as though he was in the midst of a rapidly spinning colossal vortex. This vortex not only exerted a terrifying pull, dragging him towards the depths of the abyss, but it also contained powerful waves of invisible Sword Qi, constantly assailing and aiming to shred him apart.

In order to avoid being pulled into the bottomless abyss or torn to pieces by the invisible Sword Qi, Zhao Letian had no choice but to muster his True Yuan Power and form a Protective Aura, strenuously resisting.

However, he quickly discovered that this method was entirely futile. The gravitational pull and Sword Qi within the vortex were endless and ceaseless. The True Yuan Power within his body simply could not sustain for very long.

"If resistance is futile, then I shall adapt and go with the flow," Zhao Letian thought to himself. The vortex was overwhelmingly powerful while his power was weak, impossible to resist; he could only conform.

The next moment, Zhao Letian ceased resisting, drifting downwards along with the pull of the vortex, all the while skillfully dodging the invisible Sword Qi that whizzed by him.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

However, things obviously were not that simple. Soon, the Sword Qi that originally spun in one direction became erratic, with some of it reversing direction and clashing crisscross against the original Sword Qi, leaving him no room to escape.

With no alternative, Zhao Letian had to once again muster his True Yuan Power and send out waves of Sword Qi towards the incoming Sword Qi from the vortex.

"No good, this Sword Qi is endless; I can't fend it off for long." Very quickly, Zhao Letian realized the same problem as before—the sword momentum of the vortex was overpowering. Resisting was still an exercise in futility, and even adapting to the vortex's sword momentum was useless at this time; he would still be shredded by the surging inverse Sword Qi.

"My own power is limited; I cannot contend against the endless power of the Ten Thousand Abyss. I can only counteract force with force, leveraging the vortex's own momentum to attack itself." His thoughts whirled rapidly, and Zhao Letian soon came to a realization.

Following that, he began trying to manipulate some of the Sword Qi within the vortex to cancel out the Sword Qi coming from another direction. In the beginning, it was extremely difficult; he exerted a lot of effort but gained control over very little Sword Qi—much effort for little gain.

After continuous exploration, he finally became adept; with just a slight exertion of power, he could now control a vast amount of Sword Qi within the vortex—a little effort for great gain.

However, the good times did not last, and the challenge was far from over. For some unknown reason, a large amount of uncontrollable Sword Qi appeared within the vortex; even with his full effort leveraging the vortex's Sword Qi, he could not completely negate it.

"Going with the flow is fruitless, leveraging force is ineffective, so it leaves me with only one option—to create momentum. Yes, this precisely aligns with the cultivation insights on sword momentum passed down in the ancestral memories of the Dragon Clan," Zhao Letian thought after pondering for a moment, his mind suddenly clearing.

Within the ancestral memories, there were many cultivation insights from the Dragon Clan ancestors, among them the method on how to cultivate sword momentum. Broadly speaking, cultivating sword momentum could be divided into three stages: Going with the flow, leveraging force, and creating momentum. This method is also applicable to mastering other forms of power.

Although Zhao Letian had read these records long ago, without having experienced them firsthand, he could never truly grasp their profound meanings, only able to understand, at most, a superficial interpretation. This is akin to the ancient saying, "Shallow are the insights gained from reading alone; true understanding comes through personal experience." After his journey through the Ten Thousand Abyss, Zhao Letian finally comprehended how to enhance his understanding of Sword Force. This chapter is from the collection at *.

"Rise!"

From the heart of the immense vortex, infused with an endless supply of Primordial Energy, Zhao Letian, enlightened, willed his own True Essence Power to draw upon the vortex's Primordial Energy, condensing copious quantities of Sword Qi to counter the uncontrollable Sword Qi. Just as in the previous phase, in the beginning this process was exceedingly difficult; despite expending a substantial amount of his own True Essence Power, he could hardly condense much Sword Qi. However, as he became more skilled, with a mere thought, he could manipulate all the Primordial Energy within the vortex, directly forming a terrifying Sword Qi Storm.

"This vortex is now useless to me. Should I wish it, with a single thought, I could easily shatter it." After penetrating the three stages of Sword Force cultivation, Zhao Letian suddenly realized that the vortex, which had once seemed deadly and insurmountable, now appeared child's play and posed no difficulty at all.

"Break!"

In the next moment, with a thought from Zhao Letian, the limitless Primordial Energy within the vortex was transformed under his command into endless Sword Qi, blasting in all directions and annihilating the vortex instantly.

"Huh? What's going on? Were those just...an illusion?"

After the vortex dissipated, Zhao Letian opened his eyes to find himself still in a meditative posture, sitting cross-legged and quietly suspended in the lake more than two hundred meters deep, surrounded by silence, with other Martial Artists also quietly meditating with their eyes closed—there were no vortices or Sword Qi. Most importantly, the Sword Force he had comprehended remained at the Second Layer without any advancement, yet ten whole days had passed.

"Even if it was an Illusion Realm, the understanding I've just had was absolutely real. From now on, comprehending Sword Force will be much easier." Zhao Letian quickly calmed down; if he wasn't mistaken, the scene he had just experienced was most likely an Illusion Realm created by the Ten Thousand Abyss to guide him in comprehending Sword Force. After that illusion, he knew the method to comprehend Sword Force, and henceforth his progress would soar.

"In the True Martial Realm, one can comprehend up to Ten Layers of Sword Force. The first three layers correspond to 'following the force', the middle three to 'borrowing the force', and the final three to 'creating the force'. To move with the flow—these remaining ten days are enough for me to easily comprehend the Triple Sword Force, maybe even reach 'borrowing the force'." Zhao Letian's eyes brimmed with confidence, and he promptly entered meditation once more to sense and understand.

This time, the dreadful Sword Qi Vortex did not appear, but the pervasive Sword Forces in the lake were undeniably real, always there for Zhao Letian to perceive.

In the following time, by adapting to the powerful Sword Forces in the lake, Zhao Letian's body moved steadily deeper into the water, swiftly surpassing one Martial Artist after another.
