Different from when he first entered here, Bu Xiaotian at this time was no longer relying on his cultivation to resist the sword energy around him.
There were also invisible sword auras lingering around him. These sword auras did not come from the surrounding seawater, but came from Bu Xiaotian's body, and were constantly entangled and confronting the sword aura in the seawater.
The surrounding sea water rippled due to the confrontation and annihilation of the two sword energies.
Although only half a day has passed, Bu Xiaotian has made more progress in swordsmanship than in the past two years combined.
He is still in the state of condensing his sword heart and "using his body as a sword", but it is far from what he was before entering here. His understanding of the way of the sword can be said to be comparable to decades of hard training.
Finally, Bu Xiaotian opened his eyes.
At the same time that he opened his eyes, an extremely strong sword energy burst out from him, and actually forced back the sword energy within three feet of him.
But it was only for a moment. The sword energy on Bu Xiaotian slowly converged, and even the sword energy that originally emitted gradually disappeared, as if he had become an ordinary person, and like a sword slowly returning to the scabbard, hiding in it. Developed his own edge.
Hide the sword in its sheath!
Although a sharp sword can intimidate people, compared to the sharp edge, the sharp blade hidden in the scabbard is more fearful.
As the sword energy and sword intent in Bu Xiaotian slowly disappeared, the sword energy around him that did not belong to him slowly surged in again.
But what was different from before was that these sword energies no longer resisted and attacked Bu Xiaotian, but instead showed the slightest affinity.
Bu Xiaotian glanced at the sword energy around him that was no longer directed at him, and a hint of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.
Then he no longer hesitated and took a step forward.
Without the obstruction of the sword energy, his steps were no longer difficult this time.
Taking the first step, Bu Xiaotian took another step forward without any pause, followed by the third step, the fourth step, the fifth step...
Soon, Bu Xiaotian easily arrived at the place where the sword energy was the densest.
This place looks very ordinary, except for the sword energy that is dozens of times stronger than other places, there doesn't seem to be anything special here.
Except for a piece of iron half buried in the sand.
Bu Xiaotian could tell at a glance that this piece of iron was the source of all the sword energy here.
He walked slowly to the iron piece and leaned over to pick it up.
But the moment his fingers touched the iron piece, an extremely fierce sword energy suddenly burst out from the iron piece.
That sword energy was fierce, its sharpness far surpassed all the sword energy around it, and it contained a powerful sword energy that seemed to cut off everything.
As soon as the sword energy appeared, it slashed hard at Bu Xiaotian's palm, seeming to cut Bu Xiaotian's palm into two pieces.
Although this sword energy appeared very suddenly, Bu Xiaotian did not panic at all.
I saw him pointing like swords, and a sword energy also appeared on his fingertips, just in front of the sword energy emitted by the iron piece.
As a sword, the whole person is like a divine sword, and any part of the body can be regarded as a part of the sword.
In just an instant, the two sword energies collided fiercely.
What people didn't expect was that the sword energy emitted by the iron piece seemed to be extremely powerful, but it seemed to have no resistance in front of Bu Xiaotian's sword energy and was directly dispersed.
Bu Xiaotian watched the sword energy being dispersed, and the expression on his face did not waver at all, as if he had known this result for a long time.
In fact, it's not that the sword energy emitted by the iron piece is too weak, it's just that the iron piece is an ownerless thing after all. Even if the sword energy in it is very powerful, even with Xiang Yunwen's cultivation level, he may have to avoid the edge temporarily.
But this sword energy has no owner after all, just like a tree without roots. Although the sword intention in it is profound, it is not enough in front of a real swordsman.
Bu Xiaotian is now only one step away from reaching the third realm of swordsmanship - using all things as swords.
The sword energy he just sent out was actually not very strong, but it contained all the sword intention he had comprehended. He just defeated the opponent's sword intention with his own sword intention, and the sword energy was easily dispersed.
It sounds simple, but there are very few people in the world who can do this.
It can be said that in addition to his cultivation, Bu Xiaotian's swordsmanship has also entered the ranks of the best in the world.
After dispersing the sword energy on the iron piece, the sword energy from Bu Xiaotian's fingertips also dispersed on its own before hitting the iron piece.
At the same time that the sword energy was dispersed, the surrounding sword energy seemed to have lost its foundation and slowly dissipated.
Xiang Yunwen, Jiangzhu and others, who had been staying outside the range of the sword energy and not leaving, were keenly aware of the changes ahead.
Xiang Yunwen and Jiangzhu looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Then the two of them swam in the direction of Bu Xiaotian in unison, and several guards who were also guarding here followed them without hesitation.
By the time they found Bu Xiaotian, there was no more sword energy in the surrounding seawater.
Bu Xiaotian was standing in the middle of an open space, holding a palm-sized piece of iron in his hand, looking at the iron piece not knowing what he was thinking.
Feeling the arrival of everyone, Bu Xiaotian looked at them, smiled slightly and said:
"Elder brother, Sister Jiangzhu, are you here?"
Jiangzhu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no wounds on Bu Xiaotian's body, but still asked with concern:
"Brother Xiaotian, are you okay?"
Bu Xiaotian shook his head slightly and said:
"I'm fine."
Seeing that Bu Xiaotian was okay, Xiang Yunwen looked around, but found nothing unusual. Finally, his eyes fell on the iron piece in Bu Xiaotian's hand, and asked with a trace of uncertainty:
"Junior brother, is this piece of iron the source of the sword energy from before?"
Bu Xiaotian nodded and said:
"Well, all the sword energy here is emanating from this piece of iron. This should be a fragment of a sword."
"What?"
Jiangzhu couldn't help but asked in surprise when he heard Bu Xiaotian's words:
"Just a fragment can emit such strong sword energy. If it is a complete sword, then..."
Jiangzhu didn't finish her words, but everyone understood what she meant, and their faces showed shock.
The remaining power from just a fragment makes it difficult for people with their level of cultivation to approach. How terrifyingly powerful would the complete sword be?
"Is it an ancient artifact?"
Xiang Yunwen guessed.
Although this guess is astonishing, it is now the only explanation that makes sense, and only fragments of ancient artifacts can have such power.
"maybe."
Bu Xiaotian is not sure either, after all, this guess is difficult to verify.
At this moment, Jiangzhu suddenly asked:
"Brother Xiaotian, the sword energy here must have been very strong before. How did you get here?"
Bu Xiaotian said truthfully:
"The sword energy here is indeed very strong, more than ten times stronger than where we were separated. However, I have already entered the way of swordsmanship before, and after practicing the sword energy here for half a day, my understanding of the way of swordsmanship has improved. It’s a big step forward, so those sword energies are nothing to me.”
Xiang Yunwen couldn't help but admired Bu Xiaotian's explanation:
"Junior brother is really talented. Sword training is very difficult. I didn't expect you to achieve such success in such a short period of time. It's really enviable!"
He knew that although Bu Xiaotian said it simply, he could fully imagine how strong the sword energy here was before. Even a sword cultivator would not be able to simply resist the sword energy here.
When Bu Xiaotian heard Xiang Yunwen's praise, he showed a somewhat embarrassed smile and said:
"I'm just lucky. I got the guidance from Master Xuanjian of the Sword Forging Platform before, so I luckily entered the way of swordsmanship. I'm not as powerful as my senior brother said!"
"Uncle Xuanjian is the number one sword cultivator in our Yuxu Sect. You are really lucky to be able to get his guidance!"
There was emotion and envy in Xiang Yunwen's tone, but there was no jealousy.
Although the way of sword cultivation is powerful, he also has his own way. He believes that as long as he sticks to his own way, his future achievements will definitely not be weaker than Bu Xiaotian.
And in his heart, Bu Xiaotian is like his biological brother, so Xiang Yunwen can only be happy for Bu Xiaotian to get such an opportunity.
Regarding Xiang Yunwen's words, Bu Xiaotian didn't know what to say, so he had to change the topic:
"Senior Brother, when I go back to Cangwu Mountain this time, I may need to retreat for a period of time, and I won't be able to search for the Fire Spirit with you."
Xiang Yunwen didn't care and said:
"It's okay. Although it's important to find the fire spirit, we can't rush it. Miss Jiangzhu and I will search slowly first.
Your practice is also very important. Just rest assured and retreat. Maybe when you come out of retreat, we may have found the fire essence. "
Bu Xiaotian knew that Xiang Yunwen was comforting him and said gratefully:
"Thank you, senior brother!"
Seeing Bu Xiaotian like this, Xiang Yunwen smiled and slapped him on the shoulder, laughing and scolding:
"Why are you so polite? Have you forgotten what I said before?"
Then he said:
"It's been more than four months since we came out this time. This is also the last underwater volcano we know of so far. It's time to go back to Cangwu Mountain to see if the Great Elder and the others have got any new information about the undersea volcano. information."
Jiangzhu also said at this time:
"Brother Xiang is right. At worst, while you are in seclusion, I will allocate some people from the clan to search for the fire spirits with us. It will not delay anything."
Seeing that they all said this, Bu Xiaotian no longer had any doubts, nodded and said:
"Oh well."
After more than two years of getting along, they had become closer to Jiangzhu, so they did not reject Jiangzhu's proposal to increase manpower. There was no need to be polite between them.
Once the matter was settled, the group of people did not stay here any longer and swam straight to the sea.
When they reached the surface of the sea, everyone except Tunshan turned into human forms and fell on Tunshan's back. Tunshan carried them and swam towards Cangwu Mountain.
Although this place is nearly 20,000 miles away from Cangwu Mountain, Tengshan can move through the sea very quickly, and they can return to Cangwu Mountain in up to ten days.
Just as Bu Xiaotian and others set off to return to Cangwu Mountain, several sword lights fell on Purple Thunder Peak.
But Chu Yungong and others who went to the ice field to look for Ice Spirit came back.
For the first time, due to lack of preparation, they not only gained nothing, but also almost died in the ice field.
After staying in the ice cave for several months, when the polar night passed, they left the ice field directly and returned to Yuxu Gate.
With the lessons learned from the first time, they made sufficient preparations before entering the ice field again.
In order to fight against the severe cold of the ice field, they made a special trip to Chiling Peak to borrow red beads.
The Scarlet Lianzhu is the treasure of the Red Spirit Peak. It was born from the heart of earth fire. It has extremely pure fire spirit power and is of great help in practicing the "Burning Fire Art".
At the same time, it is also an excellent tool against severe cold. Even in the deepest part of the ice field, it can ensure that Chu Yungong and the others can move normally.
With the Red Lianzhu, Chu Yungong and the others reached the deepest part of the ice field this time. After searching there for nearly two years, they escaped waves of monster attacks. Finally, after experiencing two polar nights, Successfully obtained the Ice Spirit.
