The first floor in the sky is the training room.
"Rao Jianxian withdrew so quickly?" On the tea table, Xu Xiaoshou poured tea for Mr. Siren affectionately. While pouring, he asked curiously.
It's late at night.
But this time it was not him who disturbed Mr. Mito's rest.
But after talking to Rao Yaoyaoye, Meisi people came to the door immediately.
"Can you hear our conversation?" Mei Siren asked casually with surprise in his eyes.
"Yeah." Xu Xiaoshou nodded.
When the old swordsman saw the little guy in front of him, he had no intention of explaining too much, and he didn't ask any more questions. He just said that it was a special method and it was inconvenient to talk about it. He replied:
"The old man has touched the threshold of the holy way. It is impossible for Rao Yaoyao to investigate deeply. Moreover, under the interference of the holy power, she may not even have the desire to investigate."
Does holy power interfere with people's thoughts?
If Xu Xiaoshou had some enlightenment, he thought about the time when he was shielded by heaven in the White Cave and couldn't find Yu Lingdi.
Yu Lingdi, who has reached the perfect Tao realm, can do that to himself.
It seems that it is not an exaggeration for the Meisi people who touch the threshold of the Holy Path to be able to slightly influence Rao Yaoyao's thoughts and force them to retreat in non-combat situations.
"Who among the Seven Sword Immortals has come into contact with the Holy Way?" Xu Xiaoshou asked.
Mei Siren shook his folding fan and counted with side eyes: "You Tu, Feng Tingchen, and Lao Chan... forget it, but we all belong to the older generation. With this achievement, it is nothing."
After a pause, he sighed with emotion: "As for the younger generation, Hua Jianxian has already reached the semi-saint level, Wen Ting is still close to reaching the goal, and the other two are still some distance away."
Xu Xiaoshou raised his eyebrows.
He was still a little unsure after hearing the rumors before.
But Huachang Deng has reached semi-sainthood, and when these words come out of Mei Si's mouth, it is ironclad.
Rumor has it that Guizhe Holy Mountain also has a Taoist palace master who cannot be directly called the holy name. If you add this to this, it will be two and a half saints.
horrible!
What's even more frightening is that for the world, the "semi-saint" realm is almost out of reach.
For Seven Swordsmen, it seems to be just a matter of time?
No wonder the name "Seven Swordsmen" has such a respected status in the mainland.
This is equivalent to the seven semi-saints who have been identified!
At this time, Xu Xiaoshou thought of the Ai Cangsheng sitting in a wheelchair that he saw in the distance when he was in the Eighth Palace, so he hesitated and said: "The disabled person sitting on the Guizhe Holy Mountain, holding a bow and arrow... "
Mei Siren couldn't react for a moment, and after a while he smiled and said: "He is also a half-saint."
"Hiss~"
Xu Xiaoshou took a breath. He was not sure before, but now he is sure.
On the Guizhe Holy Mountain, there are three half-saints on the surface?
No wonder it is the number one force in the mainland!
"What you said..." Mei Siren shook his head, feeling very speechless at what Xu Xiaoshou described as a "disabled person holding a bow and arrow."
"You can't call the holy name directly." Xu Xiaoshou chuckled.
But soon, he stopped laughing.
I still remember that in Taixu's illusion, he told Mr. Sang that he would not dare to climb the Guizhe Holy Mountain until I came to the throne.
Now think about it, the difficulty of this is as high as the sky.
Xu Xiaoshou was speechless and refused to let go of the walking history book in front of him, and continued to ask: "Who else in this world has touched the threshold of the holy way, or in other words, has stepped into the semi-holy realm?"
Who else... Mei Siren twitched the corner of his mouth, almost knocked down the folding fan in his hand, and said angrily:
"The major secluded semi-saint forces in the five regions have been inherited from ancient times to the present. Those who have not entered the mortal world will not be counted..."
"The bodies of ghost beasts that contain holy power on Void Island, as well as those that have come out and are living on the mainland..."
"In addition to today's major peak forces, there are also those participating in the struggle for power in the world..."
"Do you want me to count these out one by one and read them to you?"
Mei Siren raised his eyebrows and looked a little ugly.
"Well!"
Xu Xiaoshou's scalp felt numb for a moment.
It's okay not to make statistics. When Mr. Siren said this, he felt that he was really attracted by Mr. Sang.
There is a day outside the sky!
How come this half-saint seems to have many appearances?
"not much."
The Meisi people knew what he was thinking, and sighed: "The old ones are all uncounted. At least for some reason, they cannot show their holy power on the mainland, otherwise they will be punished by the holy calamity, and the consequences will be Extremely serious.”
Xu Xiaoshou felt that he had caught a blind spot: "What's the reason?"
Mei Si shook his head and said nothing.
"oh."
Xu Xiaoshou is disappointed. Is this a secret that cannot be told? Damn it...
"What are the consequences? Will you die?" He asked again, thinking that this should be explained.
Mei Siren shook his head: "You won't die, but the price will be heavy. You may fall out of the holy realm. Under the power of the rules, becoming a saint is equivalent to..."
He stopped suddenly as he spoke.
"What's the equivalent?" Xu Xiaoshou felt itchy when he saw the old swordsman showing off.
The people of Meisi sighed: "The young man's spirit goes all over the place, and the half-sage is imprisoned in one corner. You can realize it yourself!"
What's the meaning?
Xu Xiaoshou almost didn't make it through this twist and turn.
He understood the first half of the sentence. When he was young, he was full of energy and traveled all over the country. It was not difficult to understand.
But the second half of the sentence...
Half-saint imprisoned in a corner?
This is a bit scary to think about!
Is it possible that after becoming a semi-saint, he can no longer walk openly on the mainland like a young man?
"Have you seen the Half-Saint?" Mei Si asked with a smile.
"No……"
Xu Xiaoshou shook his head subconsciously, and soon his pupils shrank as he thought of something.
"Isn't it? Is it really what I think?" He opened his mouth wide, a little shocked.
The Meisi people explained jokingly: "The Semi-Saint War may destroy the world, so they can't mess around~"
I'm not a child anymore, okay... Xu Xiaoshou shouted in his heart.
In the past, he might have thought Mr. Mito's explanation was reasonable.
But now, he will only think that these so-called rules and regulations are all illusions.
The mainland also explicitly prohibits the throne from taking action. If you really want to fight, you have to fight in the air, or fight in an open area.
But after the night battle in Wangcheng, Xu Xiaoshou understood.
In a hurry, who cares whether it is a boundary or not?
Killing the enemy to death in the shortest time is the most correct way that will not damage the environment.
But the mainland still has these strange restrictions...
Xu Xiaoshou thought that even the throne had these restrictions, but Zhan Dao and Taixu had even greater restrictions.
So, if you think about it, it seems understandable that a half-saint would imprison himself?
"Something's wrong."
Xu Xiaoshou always felt that if he thought about it more carefully, he should be able to touch something.
But I always feel a bit worse.
It's just a little bit different, but it feels like there's a final layer of separation between it and the truth.
Unfortunately, he couldn't figure out where and what this barrier was?
"You don't have to think about it. You are the Grand Master. The throne can interfere with your thoughts. Do you think you can figure it out?" Mei Siren picked up the teacup, shook his head and smiled, then took a sip.
Xu Xiaoshou was horrified for a moment.
But after being frightened, he couldn't realize what the great horror he just realized was.
He had no choice but to let go of these.
"Mr. Siren, what I want to ask is, excluding those who cannot take action, among the five realms, are there many semi-saints and semi-saints who can truly be considered to have touched the holy way?" Xu Xiaoshou raised his eyebrows.
Mei Siren revealed the mystery behind the young man's words: "You want to ask about the enemies you may face in the future, right?"
"Hehe..." Xu Xiaoshou scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
The "you" that Mr. Siren mentioned was of course not only Xu Xiaoshou, but also the Holy Slave.
Obviously, after knowing Xu Xiaoshou's attitude, the old swordsman knew exactly what he wanted to ask.
"Actually, the answers you have are basically the ones you know..."
Mei Siren said, putting down his tea cup, tapping the rim of the cup with his fingers, and said sadly: "Nine out of ten of the half-saints in the world are in the Holy Temple and the Holy Palace. The remaining ones are scattered outside, and there are basically people watching them. , it’s impossible to take action.”
Xu Xiaoshou was silent upon hearing this.
By now, he had already understood that the Holy Temple and the Holy Palace were actually the only pair with equal status in the mainland.
It's just that the former is the number one force in the mainland, and is responsible for fighting and managing the world.
The latter is a training base for semi-saints. Apart from practicing, it has basically no knowledge of worldly affairs. It is a pure academy.
There may not be as few semi-saints on this continent as rumored.
In other words, the public can't even tell whether there are really semi-saints on this continent.
But for the vast majority...
No!
It should be said that for nearly all the people in the world, the level of Semi-Saint is basically out of their reach.
Therefore, it is said that the Semi-Saint has the highest combat power in the world and is as invisible as a god. This is actually false.
But in a sense, it can be true.
Xu Xiaoshou is different.
He felt that he was trapped in prison and had fallen into the trap of a saint slave. He might face opponents at the semi-saint level in the future.
But if I want to know more, it seems that even Mr. Si Ren is inconvenient to say more...
At this time, Mei Siren laughed and said: "Don't be unfounded. You are just a junior grandmaster, how can you think of going so far away? Your brain... tsk tsk."
Xu Xiaoshou also laughed.
He thinks so!
He was floating again, how could a half-saint deal with him?
Even Rao Jianxian came to the first floor of the sky not to see him, but just to visit Mr. Siren, who was also the Seven Swordsman.
I am just taking carrots and worrying lightly. The emperor is not anxious but the eunuch is.
Thinking like that should be something Bazun knows.
Mr. Sang is right. As a chess piece, you just have to do your duty as a chess piece. Why do you want to be a chess player? Are you pretentious?
Along the way, Xu Xiaoshou has seen almost every genius on the continent growing up with a protagonist template.
Whether it is young people or middle-aged and old people.
Basically, those who are famous have their own legends.
He no longer dares to be pretentious just because he has a passive system like before.
At this moment, an idea flashed in his mind, and Xu Xiaoshou felt that he had caught the blind spot again. He raised his eyes and looked at the old man in front of him: "Mr. Siren, when did you master the holy power?"
Mei Siren stared at the young man, and suddenly a smile bloomed on his face.
He thought it was interesting that this boy could use two identities to shuttle back and forth during the night battle in the royal city. He was very clever.
In just a few words, something has been revealed.
Xu Xiaoshou also laughed and said in a low voice: "Mr. Siren must be a genius! Otherwise, how could he get the title of Seven Swords Immortals? And among the young people of the Seven Swords Immortals, some have now become semi-saints. Already..."
"Stop it." Mei Siren stretched out his hand, obviously not wanting to talk about this anymore, he just smiled and shook his head helplessly.
Xu Xiaoshou shut up in time.
He looked at Mr. Siren's smile that made people feel like they were breathing in spring breeze.
I don't know why, but I saw the great horror hidden behind the smile.
After a long pause, Xu Xiaoshou asked: "On this continent, apart from the Holy Temple and the Holy Palace, is there anyone who 'dare' to break through and become a semi-saint?"
Mei Siren's eyes turned slightly white, and he smiled and scolded: "Put away your little cleverness, there is no such thing as 'dare' or 'dare'?"
"Is that available?"
"have."
"Who?" Xu Xiaoshou leaned forward slightly.
The Meisi people laughed loudly: "The most courageous person on this large continent is Yutu!"
Xu Xiaoshou was shocked.
The most courageous person on this continent?
What adjective is this?
Yu Tu...Xu Xiaoshou knew it.
When the Seven Sword Immortals were listed, there was no strength ranking, and only seven people were listed.
At that time, these seven Sword Immortals were still only in Taixu cultivation level and were not even half saints.
But there is only one person who has always been revered by the world as the leader of the Seven Sword Immortals, seemingly without any basis, and that is Mr. Yu Tu.
Xu Xiaoshou thought carefully.
It seems that I really don't know that apart from the Holy Temple, the Holy Palace, and some ghost beasts, there is even one person who can achieve the semi-saint realm on his own.
Not even the Eighth Sword Immortal!
This person Mr. Dudusi is talking about...
"Yu Tu?"
Xu Xiaoshou murmured in a daze, then quickly stopped talking after he realized what he was saying.
He realized that if the other party had become a semi-saint, then he was calling the holy name directly, which was disrespectful! He might be discovered and die!
"It doesn't matter. Everyone calls him that. He doesn't mind." Mei Siren waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
Xu Xiaoshou suddenly realized that when everyone mentioned the Seven Swords Immortal Yutu, they all seemed to call him by his first name, and nothing happened in the end.
So all this time, he subconsciously believed that Yutu was just a swordsman.
"So, he is already a sword master..."
"It was a long time ago." When mentioning Yutu, Mei Siren's eyes showed admiration.
Xu Xiaoshou looked at all this, and suddenly thought of what the old man had just said, "the most courageous person on this continent."
So he asked aloud: "So, are the legends about Mr. You Tu true or false?"
Legend has it that the former master of the Holy Temple, Yutu, the seven-sword owl, forced Dao Qiongcang to take over in a hurry.
On the occasion of Tiansang Ling Palace, the "Baiyun Sword Technique" that my predecessor Xu Xiaoshou had learned for three years was born out of Yu Tu's "Seven Swords of Xingtian". It was just a super simple version of the spiritual technique after dozens of dimensionality reductions. .
Xu Xiaoshou used to listen to this legend casually and not take it seriously.
Only now did he realize how much water there was in it.
Even if Yu Tu was a semi-saint at that time, there should be more than one semi-saint on Guizhe Holy Mountain, right?
Besides, the previous master of the Holy Temple was not...
Seven Swords!
He didn't even have the strength to parry, so he was terminated directly, right? !
At this time, Mei Siren smiled: "It's true."
The thoughts in Xu Xiaoshou's mind suddenly stopped and he was stunned: "Huh?"
Mei Siren took another sip of tea, and in the tone of a bard, told the story as if he had seen it with his own eyes:
"That day, the Eight Masters fought out from the corner of the street. It took them three years to finally become Sword Immortals. However, there were only seven of the Seven Sword Immortals. He was so young that he easily challenged one of them outside the city of Pagoda..."
Hua Chang Deng!
Xu Xiaoshou's breathing quickened: "What then?"
Mei Siren: "Of course Hua Sword Immortal must accept the challenge. The title of the eight most talented swordsmen since ancient times cannot be denied. But on the day of the decisive battle, as soon as the fight started, everyone thought that the title of Sword Immortal was about to change. At the time of the Lord's death, the Eight Masters' Sword Qingju was cut off on the spot, and the three swords of the Hua Sword Immortal ended the legend of the Eighth Sword Immortal."
That's it?
Xu Xiaoshou waited for a while but heard nothing more. He thought to himself that my neck was sore from stretching. Are you going to tell me this?
What about the process?
Others are simply summarizing at best, but you just omit it?
Looking at Mei Siren's silently smiling face, he suddenly realized that this couldn't be explained?
Keep silent?
Mei Siren changed the subject.
"The Eight Masters were already Yutu's people at that time."
"After this battle, Yu Tu immediately became a saint. He went up to Guizhe Holy Mountain alone and became the first master of the Holy Temple of the Seven Swords Owl. Then he walked away."
"From now on, I will never enter the mortal world again."
