After comprehending the first God-Slaying Sword Stele, Cheng Ling always felt that something was missing, that it was not deep enough. After pondering hard, he had no clue. Cheng Ling put it down for the time being and began to comprehend the second top-level sword stele.
The second sword monument, silent sword style!
The sword technique recorded on the second top sword tablet is the silent sword technique, which is mainly used for stabbing but can also be used for cutting. It is silent, elusive and full of lethality. But in terms of power, the Silent Sword Style is not as good as the God-Slaying Style, but it is better in that it is difficult to defend and dodge. Each has its own merits.
Every top-level sword tablet requires Cheng Ling to study it with full concentration, which consumes far more time and energy than studying a high-level sword tablet. It’s not a matter of a few pieces of enlightenment a day, but a piece of enlightenment over several days.
The time it takes to comprehend the thirty top-level sword tablets is longer than the total time it takes to comprehend the low-level sword tablets, the intermediate sword tablets, and the high-level sword tablets. Similarly, the gains gained from comprehending each top-level sword tablet are also greater than The gains gained from the previous low-level, intermediate and high-level sword tablets.
God-cutting sword style, silent sword style, killing sword style, round sword style, flying shadow sword style, sky fencing style...
Thirty top-level sword tablets and thirty different sword styles. Each sword style represents the painstaking work of an unparalleled swordsman. Each has its own merits and it is difficult to distinguish them from each other.
The last top-level sword monument is the Void Sword Style!
After more than two months, Cheng Ling finally completed the study of thirty top-level sword tablets, starting from the first low-level sword tablet to the last one, back and forth. It took more than four months and nearly five months in total.
Three hundred and sixty fused sword shadows, and thirty unfused sword shadows.
Cheng Ling could not fuse the thirty unfused sword shadows, because each sword shadow represented a unique sword style. With his current accumulation and ability, he could only comprehend it. If he wanted to master the essence, he could only comprehend it. Some difficulty, let alone integration.
In the process of studying the thirty top sword monuments, Cheng Ling also increasingly understood the breadth and depth of the sword canon. Without the help of the sword canon, it would have taken at least several months to get started with his own understanding and swordsmanship. Just fine.
After a few months of learning about a top-level sword tablet, it would take at least several years to understand it. Thirty top-level sword tablets would take Cheng Ling at least a hundred years, but the sword canon greatly shortened this time.
Using the mysteries of the sword canon to understand the sword styles on the thirty top sword steles, Cheng Ling also learned back the sword styles on the thirty top sword steles, allowing Cheng Ling to gain a deeper understanding of the sword canon.
They complement each other and bring out the best in each other!
His realm of swordsmanship also advanced with the deepening of his understanding of the two, from the early stage of the fourth level of Intention Sword to the middle stage of Intention Sword.
But at this time, Cheng Ling had forgotten everything else, and there were only sword shadows in his mind.
A deeper understanding of the sword canon and the comprehension of thirty top-level sword tablets allowed Cheng Ling to fuse the three hundred and sixty sword shadows again and compress them to one hundred and eighty.
One hundred and eighty, each one is better than the sword shadow obtained by the previous high-level sword tablet, but it is much inferior to the sword shadow obtained by the top-level sword tablet, it can be regarded as somewhere in between.
It's the limit! Cheng Ling knew that his enlightenment was at its limit, limited by his own accumulation and experience. As he practiced and as time went by, he could integrate it again in the future.
Sitting cross-legged in the Forest of Ten Thousand Sword Steles, Cheng Ling retraced his journey of enlightenment and his growth experience. Scene after scene flashed through his mind like lightning.
After understanding these many sword monuments and integrating these many sword techniques, he can also create his own and erect a sword monument in the forest of steles. On the sword monument, it can be about sword techniques, sword technique experiences, etc. It does not have to be Swordsmanship is good, that's just a general term.
When everything came to his mind, Cheng Ling suddenly asked himself.
What is a sword?
What is swordsmanship?
He suddenly remembered the process of making a sword. From the beginning, a sword was just a piece of metal. After going through high temperatures, fusion, and forging, it was repeated step by step to form an embryo, which is the so-called sword embryo.
The sword embryo is the end of the tempering of the metal iron block, and the beginning of becoming a sharp sword. The end and the beginning are all performed on the sword embryo at the same time, just like now, in the process of creating self-made swordsmanship, due to various insights, the sword embryo is constantly evolving. The continuous accumulation of absorption has reached a limit, a limit that he can reach now, and that is an end.
After reaching the limit of accumulation, the next step is to use these accumulations to create the most suitable swordsmanship for yourself based on your own talents and flashes of inspiration. That is the beginning.
The sword embryo takes shape and undergoes repeated tempering. The tempering again and again is not a meaningless beating, but the pinnacle of skill. Every beating is to make the sword embryo more condensed and sharper. , making the sword embryo closer to perfection, and finally becoming a sword, a sharp sword.
Looking back at the process of forging a sword, a complete sword took shape under his hands. Cheng Ling's eyes sparkled. In the spiritual world, a sword gradually took shape and appeared from the first part.
A complete sword can be divided into three parts, the hilt, blade and scabbard.
The hilt is the part held by the palm of the hand, and is divided into three parts. The first one is the sword head, also called the sword head. It can be seen as decoration, but its function is to balance the center of gravity of the entire sword, which is more conducive to Feel.
The second part is the handle, which is where the palm of the hand holds the sword. When holding the sword, it is the handle.
The third part is the sword grid, also called the guard, which separates the sword handle from the sword body. It can not only prevent the sword from being scratched by the opponent's sword when the two swords clash, but also protect the target from sliding when the sword is drawn. In short, the existence of the sword grid is to protect the hand holding the sword.
The second part is called the sword body.
The sword body is the part of the sword that has the edge. It can be divided into five parts, or four parts.
The first part, called the sword jaw, is the metal piece between the sword body and the sword grid. Its function is to prevent the scabbard from falling off. It can also be used to block other people's attacks. It can also be used as a beautiful decoration. This part can have or No need.
The second part, called the spine, is the convex part in the middle of the sword body. It has the function of strengthening the sword body. It is like the spine of the human body. The two edges are symmetrical and maintain the balance of the sword body.
The third part, called the blade, belongs to both sides of the sword body. It is very sharp and has amazing lethality.
The fourth part, called the sword edge, is located at the end of the sword body and has an arc shape. It is thinner and more tough than the blade of the sword body. Its edge is stronger than the blade and is more flexible. horrible.
The fifth part, which is also the last part of the sword body, is called the tip. It is located at the very end of the sword body and is the final gathering point of the sword's arc. It is astonishingly sharp and can penetrate everything.
The third part is the scabbard. There is no classification. The function of the scabbard is to store the sword and protect the sword body. Some excellent scabbards can also protect and even sharpen the sword body. function, and some swordsmanship moves also use the scabbard.
A complete sword consists of three parts, and swordsmanship is the method of using the sword, which can be divided into each part and then into each small part.
The memories and experiences of various swordsmanship training, although the methods of practice are somewhat different, and the realms are divided into different realms, in the end they are all swordsmanship, they are all swordsmanship, different paths lead to the same goal, and the two have their own merits, complementing each other, and ultimately perfecting.
In the past, enlightenment appeared like lightning, sword skills, sword skills, sword techniques, sword intentions...
There are thousands of sword techniques and thousands of sword techniques. In the end, it is nothing more than to completely release, perform and interpret the true meaning of the sword to the extreme.
The realization became more and more profound, and the one hundred and eighty sword shadows in the spiritual world began to vibrate, the light flashed, and the astonishing fluctuations of the sword intention were released, resonating.
"Different parts of a sword have different application skills. The tip of the sword condenses a bit of sharpness and is good at stabbing, piercing through everything in the world. Everything is hard and even void. The edge of the sword is thin and flexible, and it is better at cutting or cutting. It is understated and silent. Cutting through all resistance, the blade is sharp and hard, capable of cutting, splitting, and wiping..."
"In this way, sword techniques can be classified into three major categories. The first category is fencing techniques. You can strike with the edge of the sword and slash the point!"
"The second category is the stabbing sword technique, which uses the sword tip as the main attack, stabbing from all angles to perfectly display the shocking edge of the sword tip."
"The third category is the grid sword technique, which mainly uses the sword blade to interpret the hardness and sharpness of the sword. It can chop, chop, sweep, and intercept to attack or intercept the opponent."
Spiritual thoughts gush out like a spring.
I don't know when Cheng Ling, who was sitting cross-legged, had already stood up. With the Dragon Ling sword in his hand, he began to practice, performing the essence of various sword techniques to his heart's content. Until the last sword, he stood still, countless feelings surged, and the sword energy surged around his body. That was not the fluctuation of sword energy, but the fluctuation caused by pure swordsmanship.
Thirty breaths later, the fluttering long hair was flying, and the sword energy was violent and shot away.
"This...is called the true solution to swordsmanship..."
As if swearing to heaven and earth, swearing to the forest of steles, the moment Cheng Ling's words fell, the forest of ten thousand sword steles shook. There were more than 10,000 sword steles, the sound of swords was melodious, and the lines on the sword steles glowed and radiated out. , the forest of steles shook.
A few moments later...next to the last of the thirty top sword monuments, with a rumbling sound, a sword monument broke out of the ground, rising continuously, and finally stopped at a height of nine meters. Lines began to appear on the black sword tablet.
And just after the black sword tablet appeared, a palm-sized token suddenly rushed out from Cheng Ling's body. The token was very simple, like a small sword.
But now, seemingly influenced by Cheng Ling's creation of the sword tablet, the token shone brightly, and after a moment, it returned to silence. Looking at the lines on the sword stele, there seems to be only one, but there also seem to be many lines. A line of small words also appears in the lower right corner of the sword stele.
"Cheng Ling, the sixty-eighth sword master of the Sword Sect!"
Cheng Ling was dumbfounded and couldn't believe his eyes: "This is...Jianzong? How does it know that I am Jianzi? Is this the relic left by Jianzong in ancient times? Mr. Yuanling is obsessed with swordsmanship." Are the seeds of revival here?”
"No wonder there are so many sword monuments. This is where the ruins of the swordsmanship civilization are. My sword monument stands. So it is recognized by the Forest of Steles, and I am a swordsman. I should be considered a member of the sword sect. !”
