"Infinite Sword!" The old Taoist Qi Lun Hidden Edge flew out with a sword that was as powerful as a flying rainbow and went straight for the monk's head.
Even though it was an afterimage of the past hundred years, its astonishing momentum still made Bai Ze feel like he was revealing his murderous intent!
"The Palm of Great Compassion." The old monk slapped it with one palm. The palm was golden, like gold cast, filled with the mighty Buddha energy!
Vaguely, Bai Ze actually heard the name of the Buddha outside the sky.
That palm washed away the lead. That sword was completely natural.
"boom!!--"
Masters exchange moves only in an instant.
The two exchanged blows on the first day. The monk took three steps back, and the hidden-edge sword flew out and nailed into the stone wall.
Debris flew and the cave crumbled. If they hadn't known earlier that this was an afterimage, Bai Ze and the other two would have been so frightened that they ran away with their heads in their hands.
"Jianjiu, the sea smiles!" The old Taoist sword was knocked away, but he did not retreat. Instead, he took a step forward, waved his sleeves, and the vertical and horizontal sword energy rolled out like a wild wave of waves, shouting out!
"A smile from the sea?!" Ouyang Mu suddenly shouted, as if he was remembering some secret in the world.
Bai Ze just felt suffocated.
At first glance, the sword energy in that sleeve was even more terrifying than Xie Xuan's Fu Liu Yijian back then! If they were both in the Songshan Mountains, I'm afraid that this old man would not only level the mountains to the ground, but also leave a huge hole of 100 feet in the ground!
"Amitabha!" The old monk calmed down, clasped his hands together, and channeled the mighty Buddha's energy into his body. A powerful golden bell suddenly appeared in the cave and enveloped him.
"The secret skill of Buddhism, the golden bell!" Bai Ze's eyes lit up.
"clang!!--"
The unparalleled bell sounded at the moment when the sea of sword energy hit the golden bell. The roar of Niu Gui was so powerful that it was like thunder roaring in the ears!
"Poof!" Bai Ze spurted out a mouthful of blood, his soul was trembling, and he fell down on the spot. He felt as if a huge stone was crushing his spirit.
Ouyang Mugeng simply closed his eyes, his face was like gold paper, and he passed out.
The caves are shaking, the earth is shaking, and the mountains are shaking!
"Xuan Jade Palm!" The old Taoist changed his move, his right hand was as black as ink, and he swatted it with a palm in the air, directly smashing the old monk Jin Zhong into pieces.
"Rudraksha!" the old monk shouted, golden light overflowing from his body. He held a string of Buddhist beads in his palm, pinched the Buddha's lion seal, and faced him.
"boom!!--"
Bai Ze couldn't hold on any longer, a mouthful of blood spurted out again, and he passed out.
It's just an afterimage, and the remaining shadow of the move is still there. If you really watch the battle, won't you be instantly shattered to pieces?
When his soul was silent, Bai Ze heard a tired sigh in a trance, as if he had traveled through a long time and experienced vicissitudes of life.
"The tallest mountain is the peak," the man sighed. "Which one, Buddha or Taoism, is the top?"
…
When he woke up, Bai Ze only felt a splitting headache. He climbed up, and the afterimages of the two people in the cave had disappeared. The torch burned quietly, and the place was filled with light, as if nothing had ever happened before.
"The highest mountain is the peak, which one is the top of Buddhism and Taoism?" Bai Ze was silent for a long time when he saw the Buddhist verse left by the old monk on the stone wall a hundred years ago.
Then he silently pulled out his Tibetan sword and carved his answer on the stone wall as hard as iron.
"The path to immortality has neither beginning nor end,
Only one sword asks the sky.
The tiger is perched and the dragon is coiled in the wind,
Where does orthodoxy come from? "
On the road of cultivating Taoism, the top step is to ask the immortals. But the path to immortality is so murky, who can tell where it begins and where it ends?
All I have is a sword.
If you ask the sky with this sword, what is the pinnacle of this windy and rainy land of Kyushu? Is it Buddhism? Is it Taoism? Or the Confucian sect who dominates the world?
"What's the name of this poem?" Ouyang Mu also woke up at some point and asked Bai Ze.
"Let's call it 'Conversation with the Old Monk'," Bai Ze said.
"The path to immortality has neither beginning nor end, only a sword reaches the sky." Ouyang Mu said, "You are right, on the way to the top, we have nothing but a sword."
"This broken sword is here. It must be the old monk who won." Bai Ze said, looking at the hidden sword in his hand, "But in the end he didn't know what Buddhism meant. You said, this is what he said to that Taoist. respect and remembrance, or does he really not know?"
"How do I know this?" Ouyang Mu spread his hands, his face sallow, "But I remembered a secret about the world."
"What?" Bai Ze asked.
"Half-step Sword Immortal Wang Zhihuan." Ouyang Mu said, looking at the broken sword in Bai Ze's hand, "His battle to become famous was when he defeated Li Muzhi, the old swordsman who has become a legend in Kyushu today, with one move. His unique skill is Jianjiu, the sea smiles."
"It is precisely because he lost to the old swordsman a hundred years ago that he got the title of half-step swordsman." Ouyang Mu sighed, "Unfortunately, after he defeated the old swordsman, there was no one in the land of Kyushu. There was no trace of him. Unexpectedly, he died in a battle with the old monk here and died as a martyr."
"Wang Zhihuan?" Bai Ze had never heard of this half-step swordsman.
However, Sword Immortal Li Muzhi's name is astonishing. Frankly speaking, today's Xie Xuan cannot compare with him, because his "one finger breaks the secret of heaven" and ended his own path to immortality with his own hands.
"That happened a hundred years ago, so it's natural that you don't know." Ouyang Mu said, "If my master hadn't told me these past events, I wouldn't have known these secrets."
Ouyang Mu pointed at the Zangfeng in Bai Ze's hand and said, "This Zangfeng sword is Wang Zhihuan's personal sword. It is said that it was broken by Li Muzhi's two fingers during the decisive battle with the Sword Immortal."
"Sword Immortal is so scary?" Bai Ze was surprised.
"It's more terrifying than you imagine." Ouyang Mu said.
"But in this case, we may have to wait a few days before we can leave." Bai Ze went to see the remaining Buddhist and Taoist secrets on the stone wall. Most of them were destroyed, and the ones that were still intact were only the unknown old man. The monk's rudraksha and golden bell cover, as well as the half-step sword immortal king Zhihuan's black jade palm and moving mountain seal.
The practice of Rudraksha requires the Buddhist magical weapon Bodhisattva, which is the third-level mysterious spiritual weapon of Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang. It is too far out of reach for Bai Ze and Ouyang now.
Moreover, Buddhist secret techniques also require the cooperation of Buddhist mantras in order to be performed. Both of them are Taoists, and these two unique skills are elusive delicacies for them.
"If I can understand the Taoist secrets on this wall, I would be willing to do it in more than ten days, let alone a few days!" Ouyang Mu said.
So they answered Ouyang Mu's crow's mouth, and the two of them stayed in this nameless valley for more than ten days.
The two dug up all the spiritual stones they could, and after dividing them equally, their daily homework turned into studying the two relatively complete Taoist secrets left by the Half-Step Sword Immortal on the stone wall, Xuan Jade Palm and Moving Mountain Seal.
Bai Ze had seen the power of Xuan Jade Palm with his own eyes. The golden bell shield, the secret skill of Buddhism, which was able to completely resist King Zhihuan's Nine Swords and smiled across the sea, was smashed to pieces by Xuan Yuzhang, which shows that it is no small matter.
As for moving the mountain seal, it is somewhat similar to Xie Xuan's destiny of mountains and rivers. It's just that the power of luck to transport mountains and rivers is the power of the spiritual veins of transporting heaven and earth. It's so close to the end of the world, so close to the end of the world, or it's possible to kill demons and eliminate demons with the power of mountains, rivers and great mountains.
Moving the mountain seal is not about using the power of spiritual veins, but actually directly moving the mountain to convince people with its power.
Xie Xuan's supreme body has realized the Tao ten times, and can never forget the world's unique knowledge, and can draw inferences from one instance to another. As for Bai Ze's innate Taoist body, his understanding of Taoism is not bad. It only took three days for him to fully comprehend the two special skills.
However, just like Qi Yun Shanhe, Bai Ze's current cultivation level is too low and he cannot use it flexibly. On the other hand, Bai Ze has studied Xuan Jade Palm for many days and gained many insights.
"Xiao Bai, you are too damn strong, aren't you?" Ouyang Mu complained for the thirty-eighth time, "I haven't understood the secret skill of Xuan Jade Palm yet, but you are almost able to use it?! And you still run away? Go and understand the golden bell, do you want to make me angry to death?"
"With such a talent, what can I do about it?" Bai Ze rolled his eyes. He also told Ouyang his thoughts, but that kid was stupid. No wonder Xie Xuan said that he could not reach the supreme level in time.
Ouyang Mu: "..."
Bai Ze had nothing to do, and after careful consideration, he decided to use the spirit stone to break through the fourth level of the sea of suffering.
He had to practice in Dushan for a long time, but just at the beginning, he encountered a bull ghost and almost died. If you want to go to Zangling Mountain to win the Heart of the Black Snake, you will encounter many dangers. If he doesn't improve his strength, he may really die in this vast mountain.
He knew that using spiritual stones to pile up the sea of suffering would cause the true energy in the body to become impure. Although there are disadvantages, he still wants to give it a try. After all, he is in Dushan, and many things are unpredictable. It is always better to increase his strength than to die here, right?
So on the fifth day, Bai Ze found a place and began to absorb the abundant spiritual energy in the spirit stone.
Xie Xuan said that after mastering the "Chun Yang Zhen Jing", one can skip meditation and directly refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through breathing. You should know that breathing out a breath is at least ten times the amount of energy gained from meditation.
If you reach the state of "swallowing a whale", that breath of spiritual energy can purify the true energy, which is thousands of times more than meditation and can be easily achieved.
But Bai Ze is anxious to break through the fourth level and cannot wait until then.
Entering the state of cultivation, Bai Ze looked inside, and the sea of qi in the Dantian in his body slowly circulated in the form of a large whirlpool. The pure Yang zhenqi is already greater than the mountain behind Liuzhuang. To break through the fourth heaven, you need the true energy to gather into a lake.
The vast expanse of water, the kind of lake that is hard to see at a glance.
But Bai Ze still overestimated the role of the spirit stone. It wasn't until the sixth spirit stone shattered in Bai Ze's hands that he was still a little short of the fourth level of the sea of suffering. He smiled bitterly and came out of his cultivation state.
"I finally understand why no one in the historical records used spiritual stones to build the Nine Heavens of the Sea of Bitterness." Bai Ze shook his head, "Not only is there a limit to the transformation of spiritual energy into true energy, but there is also a limit to how spiritual energy can enter the body!"
Just like a person's stomach is only so big, he can't drink anymore when he's full. When spiritual energy enters the body, its channel is only so wide. In other words, just like a small bamboo tube inside a big bamboo tube, the spiritual energy passing through the small bamboo tube will turn into true energy, while the spiritual energy passing through the large bamboo tube will still be spiritual energy and become an impure part entering the air sea.
But the spiritual energy of the spiritual stones surged in, and most of it passed through the area outside the big bamboo tube, and after passing there, it directly overflowed between the heaven and the earth.
If the sea of suffering is piled up like this, several spirit stone veins may not be enough to pile it up! I am afraid that only a mentally retarded family or sect would allow their descendants to use spiritual stones to pile up a sea of misery.
After all, the better uses of spiritual stones are to establish sects, cultivate spiritual medicines, and even refine spiritual weapons.
The spiritual weapons are divided into heaven and earth, black and yellow, and the elixirs are divided into spiritual treasures and holy gods. Both of these things require spiritual stones. The former burns spiritual stones and can be forged with the fire of spiritual stones. The latter is not a place where spiritual stones gather and cannot grow.
"Six hundred taels of gold!" Bai Ze wailed.
