When Xuan Jian said this, seeing that Bu Xiaotian listened seriously, he nodded secretly and continued,
"Let's talk about the art of swords. The "Ten Thousand Sword Art" is the best sword art in the world. You should be familiar with the sword art by heart by now.
But you have sword skills but no sword heart. No matter how strong the sword skills are, they are just empty shells. "
"Kenshin?"
Bu Xiaotian was a little confused. He had almost never heard of the word "Sword Heart" mentioned by Xuan Jian.
Although his cultivation level is considered to be among the best in the world, after all, he has only practiced for more than ten years, and his foundation is too shallow to compare with those senior masters who have practiced for a long time.
Moreover, in these years, he has been studying more of the two mental methods of "Dao Xuan Jing" and "Heavenly Scripture". As for the magic formula, he has only seriously studied the "Shen Lei Jue".
Back then, he was able to use the "Dry Land Thunder" under the Holy Mountain of the Demon Sect. Now his understanding of the "Divine Thunder Technique" has gone a step further. He has surpassed several senior brothers in Purple Thunder Peak, and is even faintly no longer inferior to Xiao Tianxiong.
Whether it was to avenge his mother and the whole village before, or later to find a way to save Mo Li, he was forced to spend all his time improving his realm, leaving very little time to delve into the book "The Art of Ten Thousand Swords" A technique that all Yuxu Sect disciples will learn.
Xuan Jian saw Bu Xiaotian's doubts and explained:
"The so-called sword heart is necessary for a true sword cultivator.
The heart of the sword is not a physical object, but more like an understanding of the way of the sword. It is the swordsman's understanding of his own way of the sword.
It can be said that only by understanding the heart of the sword can one be considered a true swordsman.
Unfortunately, sword cultivation is extremely difficult and requires extremely high talent and extreme efforts. Although 90% of Yuxu Sect members use swords, there are only a few people who can truly become sword cultivators.
But correspondingly, sword cultivators are also extremely powerful. When their cultivation levels are the same, sword cultivators can easily defeat their opponents.
The pinnacle of swordsmanship is that one sword can defeat all means, and no one in heaven or on earth can defeat him! "
Listening to Xuan Jian's words, Bu Xiaotian's heart was filled with shock.
He originally thought that as long as he cultivated the "Dao Xuan Jing" to the fourth level, any disciple could learn the "Ten Thousand Swords Technique", although it was profound and essentially inferior to the five true techniques, but Xuan Jian's words completely overturned his understanding. .
It was only today that he realized the power of sword cultivator from Xuan Jian's mouth.
Seeing Bu Xiaotian's shocked look, a smile flashed in Xuan Jian's eyes, and he continued:
"Condensing the heart of the sword is just the threshold to step into the way of kendo. The way of kendo can generally be divided into four realms: using the sword as a sword, using the body as a sword, all things as a sword, and heaven and earth as a sword.
Most people have no sword heart and can only stay in the realm of using swords as swords throughout their lives, and they cannot be considered swordsmen.
Once the sword heart is condensed, you can reach the state of being a sword. At that time, the human sword becomes one, you are the sword, and the sword is you, and you can exert the strongest power in your hand.
As for using all things as swords, it is no longer limited to the sword in your hand. All things can be used as swords. Even a piece of thatch in your hand is a divine sword that can cut everything.
As for using heaven and earth as a sword, you have completely surpassed the ordinary world and become a true swordsman. You can easily borrow the power of heaven and earth to turn it into your sword. "
Bu Xiaotian was even more shocked when he heard that the power of heaven and earth was turned into a sword in his hand.
The power of heaven and earth is different from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The Taoist techniques they usually use basically mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Only extremely powerful Taoist techniques can activate the power of heaven and earth, such as the Divine Weapon Controlling Thunder and Dry Land Thunder in "The Art of Divine Thunder". The three movements of "Thunderbolt in the Clear Sky" and "Thunderbolt in the Clear Sky" use their own power to activate the power of heaven and earth, so they are extremely powerful.
But even these three movements can only mobilize the power of heaven and earth, far from reaching the level of mobilizing the power of heaven and earth.
One can imagine how powerful it is to truly mobilize the power of heaven and earth!
Xuan Jian waited for Bu Xiaotian to calm down the shock in his heart before continuing:
"However, it is difficult to reach the realm where heaven and earth are swords. In the past thousands of years, the only time Patriarch Yunxu managed to do it was when he killed Demon Lord Qiu Tianren, but in the end he was seriously injured by the backlash."
"I wonder what level my uncle is now?"
After hearing what Xuan Jian said, Bu Xiaotian already knew that the old man in front of him was definitely a powerful sword cultivator.
Hearing Bu Xiaotian ask about his realm, Xuanjian smiled lightly and replied:
"It's embarrassing to say that I have been practicing swordsmanship for hundreds of years, but I can only reach the point where everything can be used as a sword."
As he spoke, Xuan Jian waved his left hand casually, but when Xuan Jian waved his hand, Bu Xiaotian seemed to see thousands of swords roaring in unison, and the entire stone room was filled with the cold sword intent.
But it was only for a moment. As Xuanjian retracted his hand, all the sword intention disappeared, as if everything just now was just Bu Xiaotian's illusion.
At this moment, Bu Xiaotian looked at the dark sword with awe in his eyes.
Just now, he clearly felt that if Xuanjian wanted to kill him, he would only need one sword, not even any Taoist techniques.
But under that sword intent, I couldn't even think of a single thought to resist!
Is this the real way of swordsmanship?
Just when Bu Xiaotian was immersed in the shock in his heart, Xuan Jian said with a hint of smile:
"How about it? Are you willing to step into the way of swordsmanship?"
Bu Xiaotian immediately reacted, bowed down to Xuanjian, and said in a deep voice:
"Please help me, Master!"
Xuan Jian looked at Bu Xiaotian who was bowing and saluting, with a look of satisfaction on his face, nodded and said:
"Okay, you have good qualifications and you are a disciple of Junior Brother Xuantian. I will give you some insights. How much you can comprehend depends on you."
After saying that, he pointed at Bu Xiaotian's eyebrows.
When Xuanjian's finger pointed at the center of Bu Xiaotian's eyebrows, Bu Xiaotian only felt a wave of sword intent rushing into his mind, and countless swordsmanship insights poured out from Xuanjian's fingers.
He seemed to see a young boy, who kept waving the sword in his hand in the wind and rain.
I don't know how long it took, the boy grew into a young man, and the sword moves in his hand became more and more powerful.
Then, the young man became middle-aged, and the sword in his hand seemed to be integrated with him, becoming a part of his body. He just swung the sword at will, and sword energy burst out, seeming to cut off everything.
Many years later, the middle-aged man turned into an old man. When the old man opened his eyes, the plants and trees around him seemed to have turned into sword blades, and the world seemed to have become a world of swords.
At this time, Bu Xiaotian had closed his eyes. He was so immersed in that feeling that he didn't realize that Xuan Jian had withdrawn his hand.
Xuan Jian did not wake up Bu Xiaotian, but came to the sword-making stage and waved his hand to create a blast of true energy.
In an instant, the fire on the sword-making platform became more intense, but the burning sensation in the stone chamber actually decreased a lot.
At some point, Bu Xiaotian had already sat cross-legged on the ground.
Although he didn't see any movement, looking at the looming sword energy around him, it was obvious that he was trying his best to comprehend what he had just obtained.
An hour later, there was only a sound of sword sound, and the long sword beside Bu Xiaotian was unsheathed, and the sharp sword energy was hesitating on the tip of the sword.
Xuan Jian on the side saw this scene, his eyes showed surprise, but he didn't make any sound.
After a while, "Gan Jiang" returned to the scabbard, and Bu Xiaotian opened his eyes at the same time.
The moment he opened his eyes, there seemed to be a flash of sword light in his eyes.
"Thank you for your advice, uncle!"
For Xuanjian, Bu Xiaotian's heart was filled with gratitude.
Although he has been practicing "The Secret of Ten Thousand Swords" for several years, in this moment, he understood more about "The Secret of Ten Thousand Swords" than he had learned in all the years combined.
Although he didn't try it, he fully believed that the power of his sword now was definitely several times greater than before!
Xuan Jian looked indifferent, waved his hand and said:
"Well, being able to gather the sword's heart in such a short period of time is pretty good.
Okay, that's all I can give you. The rest needs to be understood by you slowly. How far you can go on the sword path depends entirely on your destiny.
You go. "
Bu Xiaotian saluted to Xuanjian again and said respectfully:
"Disciple, resign!"
After Bu Xiaotian's figure disappeared from the entrance of the stone chamber for a while, Xuan Jian suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! I didn't expect this little guy's talent to be so terrifying. He condensed the sword's heart in an hour. It's unprecedented. You've found a treasure!"
But then a hint of regret appeared on Xuan Jian's face, and he murmured:
"It's a pity that he is that guy's disciple. If he couldn't beat that guy, I would have snatched this little guy and made him a closed disciple! How did this Purple Thunder Peak purge monsters?"
But soon the regret on Xuan Jian's face disappeared again, and he said to himself:
"But it seems that guy didn't teach him the way of swordsmanship. I can be considered his master in the way of swordsmanship. It's not a loss at all!"
hey-hey……"
Bu Xiaotian naturally didn't know what happened after he left. At this time, he had turned into a sword light and left Wuji Peak.
At the top of Wuji Peak, in the Sanqing Palace.
Master Xuanyun looked in the direction where Bu Xiaotian was leaving, smiled and said to Xiao Tianxiong beside him:
"Junior brother, this disciple of yours has managed to gather the sword's heart in such a short period of time, it's incredible!
Senior brother Xuanjian would be extremely happy to meet such a good young man who is rare to see in a thousand years, right? "
Xiao Tianxiong sneered and said:
"Hmph! What can he be happy about? Even if he teaches Lao Liu the way of swordsmanship, Lao Liu is still my disciple, and Lao Liu will only call me his master."
After hearing what Xiao Tianxiong said, Master Xuanyun showed a look of helplessness on his face and said:
"Junior Brother Xiao, he only defeated you once, so he shouldn't still be worried about it after all these years, right?"
Xiao Tianxiong's face showed a rare expression of atmosphere, and he groaned:
"That guy defeated me in the competition by concentrating his sword heart, so he went around saying that I was not as good as him.
When I surpassed him in cultivation, I wanted to compete with him again, but he hid in the sword-making platform.
If there were no rules to stop him, I would have beaten him to the ground crying and begging for mercy!
He had been hiding for hundreds of years, and every time he saw his brothers, he would reveal what happened back then and show it off.
Even if it takes another two hundred years, this matter will never get over! "
"Oh! You two!"
How could Master Xuanyun not know what Xiao Tianxiong was talking about? At that moment, he could only shake his head helplessly, stopped mentioning the matter, and asked instead:
"By the way, you just said you wanted to borrow Jiao Zun's reverse scale?"
Although Qing Jiao has turned into a dragon, the disciples of Yuxu Sect have been calling him Jiao Zun for thousands of years, and since the other party has left, they simply don't bother to change it. It's just a title.
Xiao Tianxiong nodded and said:
"I'm going to Longzhou to go to the Dragon Blood Grass. There are some guys there who are very difficult to deal with. Jiao Zun's reverse scale has the spirit of a true dragon, so it can suppress them to some extent."
The things left by Jiao Zun are very important to Yuxu Sect. Master Xuanyun is a little embarrassed:
"But you also know how important Jiao Zun's reverse scale is to our Yuxu Sect."
Xiao Tianxiong also knew that his request was a bit excessive and said:
"In that case, forget it, even if I don't have scales, I still have to go to Longzhou!"
After saying that, Xiao Tianxiong didn't intend to stay any longer and stood up to leave.
