Chapter 128: The Sword in the Stone
The speaker was Zijin Zhuguoshu. He had been paying attention to Zhou Hao from the beginning. He found that the dark stone sword in Zhou Hao's hand was quite strange, and there was a faint power that invaded people's hearts and was slowly being released.
"Senior, the origin of my sword is indeed mysterious. Can you tell anything?" Zhou Hao asked humbly.
"The material of your stone sword is special, and it has the same origin as the Kewu that Ye Gong is afraid of, but... your sword seems to be made of far more than ordinary Kewu. Even from my perspective, it has nothing to do with it. Understood." Zijin Zhuguoshu said.
"It's a Kewu again. I don't know what kind of substance this Kewu is. I couldn't find out the reason by consulting various ancient records before. I wonder if senior can help me clarify this question?" Zhou Hao frowned and asked.
"The Kewu is indeed very mysterious. I don't know much about what substance it is, but what I can tell you is that it is not only the Kewu of the Night Palace, but also the Kewu of all immortals. There is even an even more niche one. But the true and accurate statement is that it is the supreme restraint!" said the Purple Gold and Vermilion Fruit Tree.
"The supreme conqueror? You mean - being above the Immortal Lord, being granted the title of Grand Master?" Zhou Hao was stunned.
Since ancient times, everyone has known that the cultivation of immortals in the immortal realm is divided into six realms, namely lower immortal, golden immortal, upper immortal, great immortal, immortal king, and immortal master! But what is above the Immortal Lord? Many people have only a partial understanding of it, and many people even subconsciously believe that the Immortal Lord is the highest state. In fact, this is all the sequelae caused by the change of eras.
Immortals often recite a Taoist slogan: Supreme Supreme Being! This Taoist slogan actually indicates what the highest realm is, which is - Tai Zun!
Legend has it that the Immortal Realm has gone through the ups and downs of several eras before reaching its current prosperity. In the first era, there were people in the Taizun realm. It was such characters who created the pattern system of the Immortal Realm. Since then, the Immortal Realm has developed from scratch to the present, and the Taoist name of Tai Zun has been spread from that time to today.
Above the Immortal Lord, be granted the title of Tai! This is an ancient proverb passed down in some unique secret books of Yunmiao Immortal Palace. Although it is an ancient proverb, it is actually an indisputable fact in the eyes of the big figures in the Immortal Realm. Although the change of era will make people forget and lose many things, but for the strong But it is still fresh in my memory.
Those super strong men who have long been the masters of a domain are pursuing these eight words, or it can also be said to be the last four words - to be granted the title of Tai Zongzun! It means that there are two realms above the Immortal Lord, one is to be honored, and the other is to be granted the title of Taizun. The title of Taizun is the title of Taizun. After so many epochs, except for the first epoch, no Taizun has appeared again. Pass. And to be honored refers to the supreme realm, also called the supreme in one life and the supreme in the era! Before this era, a supreme being would inevitably appear in every era, and he would rule the immortal realm and give orders to heaven and earth.
Now that the Purple Gold and Vermilion Fruit Tree actually mentioned the Supreme, one can imagine Zhou Hao's surprise. He really didn't expect that this evil thing actually involves such a high level.
"Restraining objects, as the name suggests, are objects of restraint. All you know is that it can restrain night angel spells, but as far as I know it can restrain all immortal spells, but it is not as obvious as restraining night angels." Purple Gold Vermilion Fruit Tree murmur.
"As for the term "Supreme Kewu", even I don't know the exact meaning. I only know that it is not as simple as the literal meaning. Furthermore, the terror of supreme power is beyond our imagination. No matter how mysterious Kewu is, it is impossible to predict it. It will affect the word "Supreme". I can only say that the mysteries in this world are just because you are not strong enough. If you are really strong to that level, any doubts will no longer exist!"
Zhou Hao nodded, suddenly realizing that he was off topic, and asked hurriedly: "Ahem, senior, let's go a little further. Didn't you just say that my sword is largely responsible for fueling hostility and awakening inner demons? What's going on?"
Zijin Zhuguoshu was silent for a while and said: "If I guess correctly, your sword is not made of Kewu. The Kewu material should be just the scabbard. It's just that this scabbard is different from ordinary scabbards. It is completely It wraps the sword."
"What? You mean, this is not a stone sword. The stone sword is just a scabbard. The real sword is still sealed in the stone scabbard?" Zhou Hao was dumbfounded.
"I was once a treasure tree in the queen's house of Qingyun Immortal Queen. I was very popular with the Immortal King. The Immortal King always discussed Taoism with fellow Taoists in the back house. Therefore, I also learned many secrets through my ears and eyes. There are many karmic things. It seems to be attached to other things, such as your stone sword. The real sword should be like this because the Kewu wraps it up, because the Kewu will not actively release energy to anyone, which means that it is not a Kewu. It is the real sword in the stone that is harmful to you and arouses your anger." Zijin Zhuguoshu said.
"Then is there any way to take the real sword out of the stone scabbard?" Zhou Hao asked.
"It's difficult. According to my conservative estimate, even the Immortal King cannot destroy this stone scabbard. I'm afraid if there is no chance encounter, your sword in the stone will always stay in the stone and will never see the light of day again." Zijin Zhuguoshu said. .
"Since the Sword in the Stone is fueling my anger, what's the point of meditating under this tree to enlighten myself? Do I have to throw it away?" Zhou Hao sighed.
"No, the immortal path leads to the great road, and the great road embraces all things. Although the Sword in the Stone will add fuel to the flames and accelerate the recurrence of your inner demons, on the other hand, it will also sharpen your fighting spirit. This warlike spirit is needed on the battlefield. Of course. Well, everything has a degree, and going too far is never enough! My advice to you is to practice the method of closing the sword to cultivate your mind. No longer use the stone sword, but focus on the cultivation of your sword mind. If you don’t draw the sword, your sword energy will be full. The movements of the hands and feet represent the intention of the sword." Zijin Zhuguoshu explained.
"Thank you, senior, for your advice. I understand now." After saying that, Zhou Hao entered samadhi again. He decided not to use the stone sword to fight anymore, but he would use it to nourish his sword intention.
Zhou Hao had previously realized the indomitable sword intention in the Void-Slaying Gourd. He saw the infinite possibilities of sword practice. He longed for the invincible posture of having a sword in his hand and conquering the world. However, there are too many people in this fairyland pursuing the sword. How? It is every swordsman's ideal to embark on a new sword path.
Some people pay attention to swordsmanship and hope to create new sword moves and break through the old rules in terms of technique. Some people pay attention to the sword's intention. All plants, trees, bamboos and rocks can be turned into swords. They focus on the intention rather than the shape. In their eyes, everything has the sword's intention. Only when one's own body reaches the realm of the sword's intention can he control all things to become a sword. Some people even pursue the sword body itself, to create a magical sword that can sweep the world, and to dominate the sword forest with its sword...
In short, sword training is definitely one of the most popular training methods in the Immortal Realm, and it is not impossible to even take away "one".
The breeze blows slowly, and purple leaves fall from the lush purple-gold red fruit tree like a purple cloud. The leaves are crystal clear and aura is flowing. The heads of Yu Nan, Xiao Shanshan and others are already covered with leaves. Looking from a distance, these people are like old monks in meditation. at every turn.
This is their opportunity. Successfully enlightening under the purple-gold red fruit tree will be of great benefit to their future cultivation. Enlightenment can open up wisdom, clearly understand one's own body, study the wonderful principles of heaven and earth, and understand the samadhi of the universe. In this state, one can even break through the realm without knowing it!
At this time, Zhou Hao was sitting cross-legged under the tree, with the horizontal sword placed between his legs. The black stone sword was so dark and natural that it was impossible to tell that there was a real sword hidden in the stone.
Zhou Hao opened his eyes and glanced at the stone sword over and over again. Finally, his eyes even glowed golden and turned into double golden pupils. He wanted to try to see the real sword in the stone.
But it turned out that it had no effect at all. He had used his golden eyes to examine the stone sword before, but he couldn't see through this black stone object at all. It was ordinary but mysterious, making people helpless.
"I never imagined that the bond between you and me is so deep. How many secrets do you have? Are you psychic and want me to be your sword master in this life?"
"Oh, forget it, let's not think about it. Anyway, you haven't killed me so far. As long as I'm still alive, one day I can find all the secrets about you and see where this bond comes from!"
Zhou Hao looked at Shi Jian and muttered to himself, shaking his head and smiling bitterly. It was difficult for outsiders to understand, but he was really helpless towards Shi Jian. No matter whether it was on earth or in heaven, he had not figured out the origin of this sword. Now, listening to Zijin Zhu Guoshu answered questions, and he felt that he had more questions about this sword.
For him, becoming stronger is the only way to know the secret of the Sword in the Stone!
Dong dong dong...
There was a loud noise, and an invisible barrier opened outside the purple-gold and vermilion fruit tree, instantly emitting a dazzling purple light. Someone launched an attack here. The force was strong enough to destroy the stars, but the barrier blocked them all.
"Who?" Zhou Hao's eyes flashed with golden light, and he quickly looked outside the barrier to see who had done it.
Outside the barrier, more than a dozen savage beasts stood in the air. They were extremely powerful. With a low roar, they dispersed the clouds in the surrounding sky. On the back of the savage beast sat a series of human figures emitting powerful fluctuations of immortal power, the leader of which was holding a blue bead.
