Chen Ping was quite shocked when he first heard Xiyue's explanation.
From this point of view, the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword is the legendary soul-killing ancient treasure?
A magic weapon whose spirit has been annihilated?
"How to identify whether it is a soul-killing ancient treasure?" Chen Ping asked.
Xiyue shook her head:
"If it is just an ordinary ancient treasure, the ancient treasure without a weapon spirit can be identified by its value and spell-casting effect. But if the spirit has been extinguished, the ancient treasure is basically in a state of silence and cannot exert the effect of the magic weapon. It is very difficult to Hard to identify. There is only one way."
"What way?"
"A certain skill or spell you practice is similar to that practiced by the original owner of this ancient treasure. And you have practiced this spell to a certain extent, which is in line with the aura sealed in the ancient treasure. There is a certain degree of resonance..."
Chen Ping understood.
The soul-killing ancient treasure was destroyed because of the spirit of the weapon, the aura was sealed, and the ban was in a state of imprisonment and silence.
It looks like an ordinary antique.
This is probably the reason why the Helian family underestimated the Seven Star Longyuan Sword.
And he himself was fortunate enough to have perfected the practice of Qingmang Sword. The sword intention can be said to have reached its peak in the early stages of foundation building and golden elixir.
It is precisely because of this that it resonates with Lingyun.
Really hammered.
The Seven-Star Longyuan Sword is an ancient soul-killing treasure.
"How can we use the aura left in the artifacts in ancient treasures?" Chen Ping thought for a while and asked.
"When you can feel the existence of that aura, you are already making use of that aura..." Xiyue said softly, her voice was sweet, as comfortable as the spring breeze blowing on her face.
According to Xiyue, combined with his own situation, Chen Ping understood that as long as he was in the universe of the sword and fully understood the sword's intention, he would be able to gain insights into the sword's intention.
Then he achieved a breakthrough in sword cultivation.
Of course, the extent of the enlightenment depends on the strength of the predecessors' weapon spirits.
The stronger the sword intention in the sword, the more insights you will naturally gain.
"If you want to truly make good use of the ancient treasure, the best way is to implant this ancient treasure into the Dantian to become the monk's natal magic weapon and cultivate the weapon spirit again."
"Of course, the choice of the natal magic weapon involves many key points. It is not easy to use the strength of the magic weapon as the only criterion. It will not be too late to understand this after you have reached the third level of the golden elixir and can cultivate the natal magic weapon."
In other words, the power of a soul-killing ancient treasure without a weapon spirit will be greatly reduced after all.
Chen Ping has experienced this. Not to mention the weapon spirit, the power of the Qingmang Sword used by the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword is very different before and after he realizes the universe in the sword.
But these are still a bit far away for Chen Ping.
What he is most concerned about right now is making full use of his sword intent to improve his own strength.
"Do you have an ancient treasure?" Xiyue asked calmly.
"So be it." Chen Ping didn't hide it. The Helian family gave it to him and it wasn't stolen. There was no need to hide it from his master.
"Can you show me?" Xiyue said.
Taking the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword that Chen Ping took out, Xiyue was stunned for a moment... This sword was too ordinary. If it fell in the wild, a high-level monk would not necessarily bend down to pick it up.
...It's a bit similar to when she first met Chen Ping... She curled her lips inwardly.
She picked up the sword and looked at it for a moment again, trying to inject spiritual power into it. She found that there was no response from the sword, and she frowned again.
Ming Si felt it carefully and asked:
"kendo?"
Chen Ping nodded.
Seeing her look of relief, Chen Ping smiled: "How's it going? Are you like me, you look ordinary at first, but the more you look at it, the more extraordinary it becomes."
Xiyue paused when she heard the words.
It turned out that two delicate hands were caressing the sword body. Now after Chen Ping said this, it felt like what they were touching was no longer the sword body, but Chen Ping's skin.
She threw the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword back to Chen Ping and gave him a fierce look.
.
...Why is this person so thick-skinned?
……but.
……like.
……perhaps.
...it seems to make sense.
She shook her head inwardly, quickly threw away the idea, and said calmly and without emotion:
"My natal magic weapon is not a sword cultivator. I can't guide you on this point. You have to figure it out on your own. Tianyan Sect has an elder sword cultivator who has good swordsmanship. If you have any doubts in the future, I can help you. Just recommend him."
"Thank you, Master."
...
Returning to his quiet room, Chen Ping used his last time to practice the Pluto God Splitting Technique and comprehend the meaning of the sword.
On the third day, I actually received a notice that the war was postponed.
No explanation was given, but it was stated that the mysterious ruins would be attacked again after eight years.
For this reason, the villagers talked a lot, but in the end they could only accept this reality.
For Chen Ping, the only option is to accept it.
"Let's just say that these ancient tower guardians are not simple. I'm afraid they have new plans." Xiyue said thoughtfully after hearing the news.
"Could it be related to the leader's injury?" Chen Ping also felt strange.
This decision was too hasty.
"Maybe." Xiyue raised her eyes lightly:
"But it may not be a bad thing for us. You can just seize the time to practice. The higher your cultivation level and the stronger your strength, the greater your chance of saving your life."
After looking at Chen Ping, he hesitated and said:
"Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to take you out of Canglan Grassland. ... Unless I die, nothing will happen to Yu Lingchun. She is your Taoist companion and my disciple."
After saying "Don't worry," she was startled for a moment.
When she first heard that Mr. Xuan had a problem a few years ago, she said, "Don't worry, just leave it to me to solve it." Well, it was Chen Ping who solved it later.
When Chen Ping first became a golden elixir, she said, 'You can practice with peace of mind. Don't worry, I will bring you resources. Well, Chen Ping later took care of the resources...
Now when I say the word 'Don't worry,' I feel a little guilty for no reason.
Glancing at it, she happened to catch a glimpse of Chen Ping's meaningful smile. Xiyue pretended not to see it, turned her head and pretended to look through the books, and said lightly:
"As long as you find the clues, there is no problem that I can't solve."
Chen Ping cheered her up:
"Master, come on, I believe you can do it, master."
Joking aside, he was actually thinking silently.
He didn't know if Xiyue could take him out, but he would not accept his fate and stay in Canglan Grassland.
Nor will I leave my destiny entirely in the hands of others.
The resources here are too scarce to support his continued growth.
His goal is immortality.
...After you reach a slightly higher level of cultivation, you may have to start looking for a way out for yourself.
…
"call."
In the sword body of the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword, Chen Ping, who was in a state of consciousness, took a small step forward with difficulty.
This was a move he had tried countless times over the past few months.
Countless times, I wanted to take a small step into the dark avenue, but every time I made this move, I would receive a huge rebound force.
That is the majestic sword intent.
The sword intention that Chen Ping currently comprehends seems insignificant in this sword intention.
But he didn't give up, and every time he stayed in the sword body universe, he could let himself swim in the sword's intention, and even vaguely understand it.
In the process, his understanding of kendo also increased.
At this moment, when he took a small step again, he still felt the majestic pressure. This pressure made him wet all over, and the sword intention in his heart was annihilated in an instant.
Just when he thought it would still be the same ending, the annihilated sword intent in his heart quietly grew again.
The step he took was not ejected.
"call."
Chen Ping couldn't help but exhale again.
It finally stabilized.
Before he could enjoy the joy any more, at the moment when the sword intent grew in his heart, he saw words flying all over the sky on the avenue.
What's this?
The words seemed messy and disorganized, but after careful consideration, I realized that the words were like a trickle, slowly flowing out.
Chen Ping quickly concentrated and carefully understood the phantom of words that appeared out of thin air.
'This is actually a magic formula? ,
Halfway through the realization, Chen Ping suddenly reacted and was immediately startled.
This sword intention actually contains magical power!
Is this because of the past cultivation of the weapon spirit and it is retained in the sword intention?
Chen Ping came back to his senses and didn't want to slack off, so he immediately memorized the method.
It wasn't until his spiritual consciousness was consumed so much that he was almost unable to support it, that Chen Ping could pull out his spiritual consciousness from the sword body Qiankun.
Sitting quietly on the jade bed, he immediately opened his eyes, bent over and gasped for air.
……hiss.
...This process of comprehending the sword's intention is more strenuous than a fierce battle, and the soul is extremely exhausted.
He closed his eyes and practiced Qigong for a while before he got rid of the fatigue and recovered a little.
I went through the content of the spell that I just memorized again.
pity.
Only one section.
It is incomplete content and cannot be practiced.
I don’t even know the name of the law.
But Chen Ping now has a very deep understanding of swordsmanship. From that small section of text, he guessed that this was a secret book similar to the Qingmang Sword.
'Although I don't know the name of the spell, judging from the majestic nature of the sword, it should be countless times more powerful than the Qingmang Sword. ,
'I didn't expect that there would be such an opportunity among the mere Seven-Star Longyuan Sword. ,
'This section is what I saw when I took a small step. Maybe I can see more when I go further on the Sword Intent Avenue. ,
Thinking of this, Chen Ping was quite happy.
Such ancient spells are not available in the Lingxiao Sect, and it is unclear whether the Tianyan Sect has them.
From this point of view, the step taken on the road of sword intention is a small step in distance, but it is a big step in sword intention.
Chen Ping put away the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword and did not continue to comprehend the sword's meaning. The comprehension of sword intention consumes a lot of spiritual consciousness, and one comprehension a day is enough.
'Continue to practice the exercises. ,
…
A few months later, in the quiet room, as Chen Ping lightly drew a circle with one hand, a skull roared out and then disappeared in front of him.
[Pluto Soul Splitting Technique (First Level) (Proficiency): 1/1000. 】
Chen Ping carefully compared the size difference between the current skull and the time when he first started.
If in the initial state, it was the size of a football when I first started, then at the current level it should be the size of the sum of three footballs.
The intensity is tripled.
'I just don't know how the defense is? ,
Chen Ping stood up and looked at Xiyue's quiet room. The stone door was open, and it seemed that she had gone out.
Xiyue will go out from time to time these days, not to look for resources. During this period, it is said that monsters have appeared in the surrounding areas, and all monks in the village have been banned from going out.
Xiyue just moved around the village, trying to further explore the mysteries of Canglan Grassland, and even set her sights on the ancient pagoda in the center of the village.
Chen Pingyuan originally wanted to try the soul defense technique with her, but unfortunately she was not around, so he had to give up.
A few days later.
One morning, the village assembly notice once again reached the ears of every monk.
When Chen Ping and Xiyue arrived at the center of the village, they realized that a war was about to begin on the mysterious ruins.
This made Chen Ping suddenly startled.
Isn’t it just half a year since he announced that he would fight again after eight years?
Why did you change your mind again?
So willful?
Chen Ping and Xiyue looked at each other with confusion in their eyes, waiting for an explanation.
On the stage, the leader of the village was a white-haired old man. His white silk hair fluttered in the strong wind and he spoke of the immortal bones of the wind.
There was no trace of the serious injury he suffered half a year ago, which even made people doubt whether he was really seriously injured.
After announcing his decision, the old man spoke impassionedly:
"Everyone, a hundred years ago, our ancestors used their flesh and blood to find a way for us, and glimpsed the ray of sunshine behind the heavy fog - that is, the secret of getting out of the Canglan Grassland is hidden in the mysterious ruins. .”
"There hangs a shining key."
"That key has been hanging there for thousands of years. Every day when I open my eyes, I can see it laughing at us, laughing at us for being as timid as rats and willing to be trapped. Everyone, are we the things in the pool? Trapped in this village forever?..."
"The battle to break the net is today."
"Today, we will follow the path traveled by the pioneers, stand on the shoulders of the pioneers, use the power given by the pioneers, try our best to tear open the layers of fog, and see what is hidden behind this thousand-year-old fog? "
"Monster? No one can stop us today. If gods block, we will kill gods. If demons block, we will kill demons."
"If God blocks God, he will kill God; if Demon blocks him, he will kill demon." A group of monks in the audience who got up to speed shouted along.
"..."
After the old man finished speaking, another fat and strong man came forward and continued to mobilize before the war:
"Damn, it's been hundreds of years. Do you know how I have lived these past hundred years? Are you willing to be trapped here for such a long time?"
"I am willing to be trapped here for the rest of my life, while our Taoist companions live in the same bed with other bastards in another world, our children call others father and mother, and our lovely and handsome junior sisters and brothers grow old in exhaustion. Go? Are you willing? Hetui, it’s my turn to wait, I’ll take it back with my own hands..."
"I want to go back, walk out of Canglan Grassland, return to the original sect, and hold my fellow Taoist Suijue in my arms. If one is not enough, let's have ten..."
Good guy.
If you can speak, speak more!
I have to say that this guy speaks much more literately than the leader.
Easy to understand.
It can even arouse the instinctive desires in the monk's heart.
Chen Ping was thinking this, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Xi Yue looking at him seriously. He immediately became serious, and then started to spit on the fat monk: "This person is really, so vulgar. I despise this kind of person the most in my life."
"Really? I think you really appreciate him." Xiyue sneered.
Chen Ping:......
"..."
After the mobilization, the leader continued to preach some precautions, and then officially announced the start of the war and set off today.
Before departure, everyone was given half an hour to pack away their belongings, and everyone was divided into groups on the spot.
After the announcement was over, Chen Ping and Xiyue quickly returned to their caves and packed up their belongings.
Naturally, the three formations have to be dismantled.
I don’t know what the situation will be like this time, so I will naturally take away everything I can.
The formation is like this, the jade bed is like this, the futon is like this...
The two of them didn't have many things, so they packed them up quickly.
"Be careful in this battle. If you encounter a high-level monster, run away. Don't force yourself. Don't stay too far away from me. If there is any danger, I will protect you." On the way to the meeting point, Xiyue said: Master’s duty is to be entrusted to Chen Ping.
Chen Ping looked at her serious profile and nodded.
In fact, after entering Jindan for more than four years, although Chen Ping is still at the first level, he has doubled the power of the Qingmang Sword and his sword intention has been doubled.
Even against the third level of Jindan, Chen Ping still has a certain chance of winning.
Besides, his means of escape are full, and he also has many talismans and formations.
Law.
On the other hand, Xiyue, before entering the Canglan Grassland, the battle with Chi Liang consumed almost all of her inventory. Now that his cultivation is suppressed above the second level of the Golden Core, he is at a loss when it comes to fighting.
If you really want to compare, you probably won't be able to beat Chen Ping.
"You should also be careful." Chen Ping looked at her.
Xiyue paused, looked at Chen Ping, and said softly:
"knew!"
