Zhang Ruochen landed his eyes on the upper left stone wall, where a character "Tian" (heaven) was displayed.
Next, his own Sword Comprehension overlapped the character's Sword Comprehension. Gradually, the word on the stone wall spun and flew out, transforming into a translucent gatekeeper.
Apparently, the gatekeeper of the first stage of the Third-level Mountain outmatched the gatekeepers of the previous two mountains; because this gatekeeper had been condensed by the sword saint's thought of Tao of the sword.
The gatekeeper flew out and stood in front of him, casting an enormous pressure on Zhang Ruochen.
"Beat me and you can pass this stage."
The gatekeeper clasped his hands as dazzling light radiated from his two palms.
A meter long sword flew from the light.
"Swoosh!"
Zhang Ruochen also drew out his Valley-water Sword, ran all of Sword Comprehension, and poured it into the blade with his Genuine Qi inside his body.
