"Twenty-four hours. Let alone a single human, there's only been one person who's been able to last for twenty-four hours. And that person's reputation isn't much weaker than the Six Paths Emperor's. Do you think Han Sen has a chance?" Xu Lu said with a wry smile.
"If he's not someone like that, how could he be worthy of being Xu Mi's teacher?" Li Huo said firmly.
Furnace Emperor shook his head and did not say anything. Elites like that did not have the time to teach others.
Personally, he had a good impression of Han Sen. He was skilled in the Six Paths Emperor's Way of the Sword, so he could barely be considered Xu Mi's teacher.
However, Xu Lu clearly didn't want to go against Li Huo's wishes, so he could only let her be.
Han Sen didn't move the mountain. He continued to resist the Holy Sword's sword intent.
The sandwheel-like sword intent wasn't able to completely grind away Han Sen's will. Instead, it was like refined steel. The more it was polished, the sharper it became. It made Han Sen's sword intent purer and purer.
If Han Sen's sword intent was like refined steel in the past, then after being polished, it was like a gemstone that shone with an even more dazzling light.
Time slowly passed. After twelve hours, Xu Mi was overjoyed to see that Han Sen was still unmoved.
Xu Lu praised, "This child is truly extraordinary. Xu Mi's insight is quite good. With such tenacious will and Way of the Sword, if Xu Mi can take him as his teacher, he'll definitely benefit greatly."
Li Huo saw that Han Sen was still the same as before. Although she was slightly moved, she still said, "Only half the time has passed. It's still too early to make a conclusion."
Another four hours passed, and Xu Lu was somewhat moved. "This child is still unmoved. His willpower is unimaginably strong. He is indeed a rare character."
Li Huo was also a little shaken. She said softly, "He really does have some ability. However, there are still eight hours left. Let's see if he can persevere."
Another four hours passed, but Han Sen was still as motionless as a mountain, seemingly no different from twenty hours ago.
Xu Lu and Li Huo were already a little surprised. Even now, he was still as still as a mountain. It seemed that he was not affected by the sword intent at all. In their opinion, Han Sen should be able to hold on for 24 hours without any suspense.
"You are worthy of being my son, Furnace Lord. Your eyesight is not bad. Being able to find a teacher like this will definitely be of great help to him."
When Xu Lu mentioned Han Sen, his tone changed a few times. At first, he looked at Han Sen, but now, he looked at him with approval. He even admired him. The change was quite big.
Li Huo no longer looked as arrogant as before. She looked at the scene with surprise and said, "This human is really different. He is qualified to be Xu Mi's teacher."
The two emperors no longer doubted that Han Sen could last for 24 hours. Their original differences disappeared, and they began to agree.
Time slowly passed. After 24 hours, Xu Mi couldn't help but sigh. "Teacher really is an extraordinary person. To be able to resist the Holy Sword's sword intent for 24 hours without falling behind, there has only been one person in all these years. Teacher, you are the second."
Han Sen didn't hear what Xu Mi was saying. Right now, he was focused on the swordmind. The swordmind kept polishing his will, making his swordmind stronger and stronger.
But after a while, Han Sen felt as if the swordmind wasn't strong enough. It wasn't able to polish his swordmind any further. So, Han Sen couldn't help but walk toward the stone mountain's sword mark. He wanted to get closer to the sword mark and feel the swordmind's polishing.
"What is he going to do?" Li Huo looked at Han Sen with shock as he walked toward the stone mountain's sword mark.
The Holy Sword's swordmind looked gentle, but if it was too close, it was a different story.
Back in the day, the Holy Sword broke space. Its swordmind swept across the stone mountain, leaving behind a swordmind that would never be destroyed.
That swordmind was the end of the sword, but it was also the extreme of the sword.
The closer Han Sen got to the sword mark, the more he could feel the extreme will of the sword. It was the belief that could break space, and the swordmind that would never stop.
Back in the day, many elites watched the Holy Sword level up. Many of them wanted to take the mountain, but in the end, it fell into Xu Lu's hands because ordinary elites didn't dare touch it. They couldn't take it away.
Wherever the sword mark was, even a Great Emperor level expert, regardless of whether they cultivated sword intent or not, would be severely damaged by the void shattering will when they came into contact with the sword mark.
So, no elites were able to take the mountain away. Only Xu Lu used the teleportation powers of Furnace Shelter. He moved Furnace Shelter to the bottom of the mountain, and that was how he was able to take it away.
Now, Han Sen had been buffed by the swordmind for 24 hours, but his will hadn't been broken. He was walking toward the sword mark, which surprised Xu Lu and Li Huo.
"This person's will is strong. I don't think he is any weaker than the elites," Xu Lu said seriously.
Li Huo didn't say anything, but when she looked at Han Sen, she no longer looked down on him. She looked surprised.
Han Sen walked toward the sword mark, feeling the swordmind grow stronger. It made his swordmind shine even brighter, and his will grew stronger.
When he was one hundred meters away from the mountain, Han Sen slowed down. But every step he took was firm, and there was no hesitation in it.
Han Sen's whole body seemed to have turned into a sharp sword. He broke through the waves and parted the water. He walked towards the sword mark on the mountain, one step at a time.
Finally, he reached the top of the mountain and placed his hand on the sword mark.
Boom!
The swordmind was like a river of time. It was like Han Sen's swordmind had been thrown into the river of time, and it was being baptized forever.
Xu Lu and Li Huo's faces changed. They didn't expect Han Sen to really walk to the mountain and touch the sword mark.
After all, it was left by someone who had ascended to the Fifth God's Sanctuary. He was half a god. Even a top-class emperor could be hurt by the swordmind.
Han Sen's will was strong, but touching the sword mark would still hurt him. If the situation was serious, his will would be destroyed, and he would never be able to recover.
"Oh, no!"
Xu Lu felt bad. He was very satisfied with Han Sen's swordsmanship. If it was destroyed, it would be a shame. It would be difficult for Xu Mi to find a teacher like that.
Li Huo couldn't help but sigh. She agreed with Han Sen's power, but she didn't expect Han Sen to be so bold as to touch the sword mark. He would be hurt.
Li Huo could only hope that the injury wouldn't be too serious, and that he would still be able to teach Xu Mi.
