Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Eight: The Initial Acquisition of the Way of Immortal Viewing and Swordsmanship
The scenery in front of him changed again, and everyone disappeared in an instant. Qingshi found himself standing on the first step of transparent energy transformation, which was the last step of the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps.
Qingshi walked down the steps and stepped on a golden metal disc. He felt his heart become clear. This time, he was undoubtedly truly clear.
The scenery in front of him was very familiar. It turned out to be the top of the Immortal Sword Peak that he had just seen. The only difference was that there was a huge full moon hanging in the sky above his head.
Qingshi walked down the golden rock plate, the end point of the trial ladder, and stood on the top of the Immortal Sword Peak. His mood was complicated, his inner emotions were surging, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
It took him a full five hours to complete the third section of the ladder. Including the three hours of the first section, it took him more than eight hours. Fortunately, the second section only took two quarters of an hour, otherwise he would have timed out. As a result, the breakthrough failed.
Judging from the test situation, Qingshi's biggest reliance is his Nine Perfect Qi, and his current weakness lies in emotions. There is no doubt that he has a mental block or inner demon.
That black magic hand was the deepest fear in his heart; Yunli was his concern and the most emotionally fragile part of his heart; and the fellow disciple who wanted to kill him was the truth that he was least willing to face in his heart.
Qingshi was afraid that he would not be able to get rid of the evil black hand in the end, and he was even more afraid that he would never see Yunli again, but fortunately, that was still far away, and he still had a lot of time to do something.
What he fears most now is the person who wants to kill him. It's really his senior brother Mo Sihai. In Qingshi's heart, his awe for Mo Sihai is even higher than that of Ou Changzhi. He really doesn't want it to be him, but the scenes that appear in the fantasy clearly show his heart: he least wants it to be Mo Sihai, But he also knew that the most likely person was Mo Sihai.
There is also a golden halo on the edge of the gold rock plate. Qingshi walked into the aperture and stood there for a long time, calming his heart while recovering his true energy, physical strength and mental strength. The consumption of fighting against the illusion was far greater than other tests.
The huge full moon hangs low in the sky, as if you can reach out and touch it. The quiet and bright moonlight fills the top of the Fairy Sword Peak, and seems to fill the entire world. There is no cloud in the blue sky above, and the mountains below are There are large tracts of clouds in the room, and the flowing clouds bathed in moonlight are like magnificent rivers overflowing in the sky.
Soon, the aperture slowly disappeared, and Qingshi returned to his best state of energy and spirit. Qingshi walked toward the rock monument a few feet away. There was no doubt that the words on the rock monument were the sword carvings left by Tuji, the founder of the Immortal Sword Sect and known as the Sword God.
Qingshi came over and took a look, and saw four large characters carved on the flat stone wall: The origin of the sword.
These four characters are engraved vertically, floating like floating clouds, and powerful like a startling dragon. Both in terms of momentum and beauty, they are the best Qingshi has ever seen in this world.
Qingshi thought of the plaque on Juhua Peak, and finally understood the intention of the senior who imitated the words. He obviously wanted other disciples who could not come here to understand the immortal traces to experience the sword through imitation. Carved with some meaning.
However, judging from the kendo meaning emanating from the lines of this sword carving, how could the imitation one be as good as this one!
Qingshi stood in front of the mountain stone monument, carefully experiencing the majestic sword intention and confirming his swordsmanship. The turbulent swordsmanship meaning like a wave repeatedly washed away Qingshi's consciousness and stirred up his heart. Qingshi rose from the bottom of his heart. With a sense of awe, I felt that the word became as tall and majestic as the sky and the earth, filling the entire sky, and then filled the entire world, the entire universe.
'The Origin of Kendo'! What is the origin of kendo? Qingshi is slowly realizing.
The sword is the most powerful weapon in the world, swordsmanship is the most powerful martial art, and kendo is the most powerful martial art. This is recognized by monks, but it is easy to see that those who use swords may not be able to beat those who use swords.
How can you make your sword better than all opponents? The answer seems to be very simple, that is to master the way of kendo, so we are back to the original point: what is kendo? How can you master it?
Many swordsmen who have practiced swordsmanship to the level of Qingshi should have clearly understood some of the essence or origin of swordsmanship. Qingshi has naturally understood something, but he has always had some vague understanding, and he has never understood it as clearly as he does now:
The way of the sword originates from the way of heaven, and it is part of the way of heaven. To make your sword the strongest, you need to integrate the way of heaven into it. The law of heaven is the law of the world, and nothing can stop the law of heaven and earth. When you have the law of heaven and earth in your swordsmanship, your swordsmanship will naturally become extremely powerful.
The more Heavenly Laws you understand and the more Heavenly Laws you incorporate into your own swordsmanship, the stronger your swordsmanship will naturally be. If one fully understands and masters the way of heaven, and fully integrates it into one's own way of swordsmanship, then one's own sword will be invincible in the world.
Qingshi felt extremely excited about his enlightenment, and then he realized the next question:
It is not easy to understand this theory, but it is even more difficult to implement it. There are many intelligent people who should be able to understand the truth that the way of sword is the way of heaven. However, how to understand the way of heaven and integrate it into the way of sword, I am afraid that not many people know how to do it, or at least none at all. There is no Tianlong in the world now.
However, the sword carving that Qingshi is facing now shows that its creator knew what to do, and he left the method of how to do it to future generations in the form of this sword carving.
Of course, he could not tell future generations clearly, because "the Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao." In other words, "Tao" exists and can be understood by people, but people who have understood "Tao" cannot accurately express "Tao" to other people. He can express it in language or other media. , but the 'Tao' that can be expressed is no longer that 'Tao'.
Therefore, when Tuji Immortal created this sword carving, he just pointed out a direction in this way. He hoped that future generations could understand it. Qingshi understands! Understood! He knew that as long as he worked hard in this direction, it would be possible to fully understand it and finally master it.
Qingshi's heart was surging, and he felt that his body seemed to be as tall as the Immortal Sword Peak, and he stood as tall as the sky and the earth. His mind seemed to be as vast as this world, and it could accommodate all things. He felt as if his consciousness covered the entire world and stretched into the vast void of the universe. For the first time, Qingshi truly understood the direction of cultivation and saw the hope of becoming an immortal through cultivation.
Following the direction and method pointed out by the immortal, Qingshi began to try to integrate the meaning of the sword he had mastered and the laws of heaven he understood into his own swordsmanship.
Qingshi pulled out the Qinglian Sword and tried to swing it, seeking only the artistic conception and not the moves. Within a quarter of an hour, Qingshi suddenly found that he had subconsciously used a three-hit combo in the Xuanjian Technique. Qingshi's mind flashed like lightning and flint, and he immediately I understand that my master Ou Changzhi must have come here to meditate, and Qingshi can be sure that his master must also understand the immortal relics. No wonder before leaving Chao Ge, his master told him to make a pilgrimage to the Immortal Sword Sect.
Qingshi didn't know whether his master understood more or less than he did, but it was obvious that the set of Xuan Sword Techniques he created was based on the guidance of immortals. Master once said that when there is no way to advance in Xuan Sword Techniques, you need to create your own sword moves. Mo Sihai He created six moves of his own, Gui Huadong created seven of his own, and now Qingshi also began to think about how to break through the framework of Xuanjian and create his own sword moves.
In the past, Ou Changzhi gained some insights into the magic of immortality. He practiced hard for a hundred years and created the Mysterious Sword Technique. It took another thirty years for him to break through the Mysterious Sword Technique and create a new technique. Qingshi now has the urge to create his own sword moves as soon as he has enlightenment. That's because he stands on Ou Changzhi's shoulders. On the other hand, Qingshi's gains from comprehending the immortal traces have indeed surpassed Ou Changzhi's in the past. , his understanding is higher than the master.
On the top of the Immortal Sword Peak under the melting moonlight, Qingshi swung the long sword in his hand casually. His mysterious swordsmanship was already extremely accomplished, but now the power of each move is far greater than before. Gradually, his mysterious swordsmanship is no longer as powerful as before. With the Xuan Sword Skill, Qingshi knew that transformation had come naturally.
The night is long, but finally the full moon sets in the west.
Soon, the eastern sky slowly turned red, and the sky gradually became brighter. Qingshi, who was immersed in the artistic conception of swordsmanship, finally stopped and thought to himself: "My self-created swordsmanship has begun to take shape. In the future, with the improvement of my cultivation and the proficiency of its use, the power will naturally continue to increase. Well! I created this sword move under the moon on the night of the 15th, let’s call it the Bright Moon Sword Technique!”
When Qingshi Kendo was first developed, there were only five moves in total. Each move had no fixed move, but it was ever-changing and the moves were endless.
Qingshi named his five sword moves: Yuan Yu Style, Damage Style, Earth Trapped Style, Sky Breaking Style, and Dao Killing Style.
As the name suggests, the Yuanyu style is a defensive sword move, and the waste style is to actively consume the opponent on the basis of defense. Both styles are defensive in nature; the earth trap style is to trap the opponent, and the sky breaking style is to break the opponent's defense. Dao Killing Style is a pure killing move. Once a move is made, it is sure to kill. If it cannot kill the enemy, it will hurt yourself. It is the ultimate killing move that will not stop until death.
Soon, the sun slowly rose, and Qingshi continued to observe and comprehend the immortal traces on the top of the Immortal Sword Peak, unwilling to leave for a long time. Until it was almost noon, thirty-six hours had expired, and I still felt that I was sent back to Juhuading by the pass order, but I still felt that I was still unfinished.
Jian Ruochen and others originally went back after seeing Qingshi enter the trial cave. On the third day, when the time was approaching noon, they returned here to greet him.
As soon as Qingshi appeared on the golden cloud disk, Jian Ruochen and others hurriedly came forward to ask. Jian Ruomu took a look at the pass passed by Qingshi, and laughed and said: "Sure enough, it passed, little friend Qingshi is really smart! "
"It's fate!" Jian Ruochen said with a smile, "The harvest is not small!"
"Don't think about joining our sect again!" Jian Ruoyun was still full of expectations.
Qingshi bowed and thanked them one by one. Looking around, he found that Little Fatty was still sleeping soundly in a corner.
