From that day on, Gui Zhong and Yuan Chengzhi were discussing martial arts at Siguo Cliff. Both of them were first-class masters with exquisite swordsmanship. Although Gui Zhong's internal strength was far inferior to Yuan Chengzhi's, he could
His swordsmanship was not inferior to that of Yuan Chengzhi. As a result, the two of them competed with each other almost every day, and then debated with each other.
The sword light was flying. Gui Zhong and Yuan Chengzhi were competing with each other. One of them used the Xiyi Sword Technique, and the other used the Thousand Changes of Cloud and Mist Thirteen Swords. The sword speed was as fast as lightning. In an instant, more than a dozen swords were fired.
, one sword aura is invisible, the other sword light is dreamy, and all the subtleties of the swordsmanship are revealed in their hands.
The moves are sometimes simple and sometimes complicated. The two men's control over sword moves has reached its peak, and every move is extremely exquisite.
After a sword fight, Gui Zhong and Yuan Chengzhi both put away their swords and stood, thinking silently. This has been their normal behavior these days, sword fighting, thinking, and confirmation.
In such a state, whether it is Gui Zhong or Yuan Chengzhi, their swordsmanship skills are improving at an extremely terrifying speed.
"Uncle, how's it going?"
After a long time, Gui Zhong asked.
Yuan Chengzhi didn't answer, but moved the long sword in his hand, drawing a mysterious arc, with a mysterious charm that seemed to have never been released. Several consecutive moves were changed, simple and direct, but Gui Zhong saw something different in it.
Come on, the changes in these moves seem to be endless, but also seem to have no change at all. The weirdness and unpredictability in them makes people endlessly annoying.
"Well, I have already reached the state of perfect swordsmanship, but these days I have studied the swordsmanship in the cave, but I found that it is still not perfect enough. It is still a bit difficult to advance to the next state. I just evolved a few changes, and that's it.
It’s unsustainable, and it seems that I still haven’t cultivated enough.”
Yuan Chengzhi frowned slightly, seeming to have countless doubts in his heart, and said silently.
"Well, there are still many changes in this realm after the sword moves are perfected. I also feel that I have not reached the peak. If I want to break through to a higher level and reach the realm of no moves, it will be difficult to achieve it overnight."
Gui Zhong sighed, Yuan Chengzhi had never broken through, and it was even more difficult for him to break through. That level of realm was so mysterious that it was difficult to guess.
"It's a pity that back then there was an exquisite secret skill in our Huashan sect. As long as you have enough understanding, you can step into the state of no move. The bottleneck is minimal, but this swordsmanship has probably been lost."
When Gui Zhong finally reached this point, he felt the power of the Dugu Nine Swords even more. His intention was to defeat all martial arts in the world with one set of swordsmanship. What a profound and terrifying state that was.
"You are talking about the Dugu Nine Swordsmanship. Your master once mentioned this swordsmanship back then. It is a pity that our Huashan Sect underwent great changes that year, and this wonderful swordsmanship was not passed down. Otherwise, it would be worth learning about it."
Yuan Chengzhi also looked fascinated.
"Forget it, in the later stages of martial arts, the emphasis is on understanding. It cannot be achieved overnight. Everything still needs opportunities. Maybe once you have enlightenment, you can break through. Maybe you will be stuck at this step for the rest of your life."
Yuan Chengzhi's eyes returned to clarity, and he was in a lofty mood. Although he was a little disappointed, he didn't take it too seriously. With his current martial arts practice, he had already reached the peak level in the martial arts world. It was not easy to break through.
It's good to be able to make some progress in these days, which he can appreciate very much.
"Uncle Master, to what extent have you practiced Hunyuan Gong now?"
Gui Zhong no longer struggled with the issue of swordsmanship, but instead asked about internal skills. Swordsmanship is only an external study, a way to defend against enemies. If you want to reach the highest level of martial arts, you still have to work hard on internal skills.
"Hunyuan Gong? My current Hunyuan Gong has reached the last level. It is only one step away from perfection. But this
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page.) One step is a thousand miles away. I have opened up all the eight extraordinary meridians, and the internal force penetrates the whole body. There is only one step left. The governors and governors have never been connected, and the yin and yang have never been in harmony. This step is also
The most critical step, once successful, is to connect one meridians to hundreds of meridians, complement each other with yin and yang, and harmonize water and fire. Unfortunately, I have been thinking about this last step for more than ten years, but I still have not taken this step."
Talking about the cultivation of his family, Yuan Chengzhi's face was heavy and he spoke eloquently. Gui Zhong was shocked when he heard it.
"Uncle Master, is it so difficult to just understand and serve as governor?"
He was a little puzzled. He had been practicing hard over the years, and he had been practicing day and night. He had achieved great success in his inner circle, and half of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians had been opened, but he had never encountered a big bottleneck, let alone someone like Yuan Chengzhi.
In this way, it is no longer possible to stay at one level for more than ten years without success.
"This step is very difficult. Even back then, your master was known as the Divine Sword Immortal Ape, the best master in the world, and his internal skills were only as good as mine, and he had never taken this last step. Over the years, I have been practicing day by day, and I feel vaguely
This step seems to contain great danger. At the last moment of the impact, I always have no energy and cannot succeed. There is only one small step, and it is this small step that has blocked me for more than ten years."
Yuan Chengzhi looked gloomy, with a hint of uneasiness rising.
"What's going on? Only when the two meridians of Ren and Du are connected can the true acquired perfection be considered. If you haven't achieved innate achievement, will it be so difficult?"
Gui Zhong is a little unbelievable.
"Yes, this penetration of Rendu seems to have been greatly disturbed. Maybe this world is no longer suitable for a breakthrough. The energy between heaven and earth is insufficient. In the last step of breakthrough, you must communicate with the energy of heaven and earth to assist your own internal strength.
But I have tried to pass the level no less than a dozen times over the years, and every time I failed at the last moment."
Gui Zhong's heart skipped a beat, "The end of martial arts, the end of martial arts, is this the end of martial arts? Just one step of Ren Du's two channels has such a big obstacle? The essence of heaven and earth is insufficient, yes, it takes a huge amount of energy to penetrate Ren Du
The internal power of the human body is limited, and there is only so much internal power that can be stored. At this time, the essence of heaven and earth is needed to help. If the essence of heaven and earth is really insufficient, wouldn't all warriors be stuck at this step?
"
Thinking of this, Gui Zhong's face turned a little pale. He was reborn in this life, and he didn't ask for much, just to prove his martial arts. But according to Yuan Chengzhi's words, wouldn't it mean that the way forward has been cut off? How can he accept this?
"Haha, you don't have to think too much. Over the years, I have also begun to think of other ways. The energy of the world is insufficient, and no one can do it. At this point, if I want to continue walking and step into the legendary innate realm, I can only
I can think of ways from other aspects. When I return to the Central Plains this time, I also want to find some elixir formulas from my Huashan classics. Maybe I can use the help of elixirs to complete the last step of breakthrough."
Yuan Chengzhi's eyes were erratic, his tone was firm, and he had a strong determination not to give up until he achieved his goal.
"Elixirs? Yes, there is insufficient energy in the world, so you can use elixirs. As long as you refine the elixirs to enhance your power and take them when you break through, it shouldn't be a problem."
Gui Zhong's heart lit up. This truth was very clear. He just didn't realize it for a while. Now he thought about it. When he arrived at Changbai Mountain outside the customs, wasn't it because he swallowed a lot of tonics that his power improved greatly?
.
"This is just a guess on my part. As for whether it can work, we have to try it again to know. Well, we have been practicing in Siguoya retreat for more than a month this time. I am ready to go out for a walk."
There was a faint smile on Yuan Chengzhi's face, and his mood seemed to have suddenly improved a lot, which surprised Gui Zhong.
"Huh? Uncle Master, you are going out for a walk. What are you going to do? Do you want us?
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Together?"
"No need, I am going out this time just to meet your Uncle Jiu Nan."
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Chengzhi's face turned slightly red, and Gui Zhong felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was falling. What was going on?
"Ah? You are going to see Uncle Jiu Nan. Does Aunt Xia agree?"
This is unreasonable. With Xia Qingqing's personality, how could he let Yuan Chengzhi go to see Jiu Nan? Gui Zhong just made a little joke some time ago, which almost made Xia Qingqing go crazy. Why did he change so quickly now?
"Your Aunt Xia naturally agrees. We will go together this time."
Yuan Chengzhi laughed, and jumped off Siguo Cliff in a flash. Gui Zhong looked at his back, still not understanding the reason.
"Forget it, you can handle the matters of the previous generation by yourselves. Why should I worry here?"
After thinking about it, Gui Zhong didn't bother to pay attention and started meditating.
The time he spends talking about martial arts with Yuan Chengzhi has also been of great help to him. Every day's sparring has not only greatly increased his experience and improved his swordsmanship, but it has also been a good training for his internal strength.
Now, Gui Zhong's internal strength has begun to practice at the ninth level. This time, what he wants to break through is the belt channel among the eight extraordinary meridians. This meridian binds all the meridians. For the internal martial artist, once the belt channel is opened,
, a mysterious ability will appear, using the powerful and vast internal force to form a layer of body-protecting aura. Although it has no effect on warriors of the same realm, for those with low skills, this layer of body-protecting aura wants to be broken.
None of it is easy.
During the battle at Fuhu Villa, if Gui Zhong had penetrated his veins and condensed the body-protecting Qi, as long as he had sufficient internal strength, it would not have been easy for others to hurt him, let alone be seriously injured.
Half an hour later, Gui Zhong got up and went down the mountain. His internal strength had strengthened, and it was not long before the Dai pulse was opened.
Early the next morning, when Gui Zhong came back from sword practice, Yuan Chengzhi and Xia Qingqing had already gone down the mountain.
"Forget it, I'd better go on the road alone."
Gui Zhong thought about the scene where Yuan Chengzhi and Master Jiu Nan met, and he was looking forward to it. Unfortunately, he was too embarrassed to rush over to take a look at such things.
The capital remains the same, with prosperous scenery and bustling crowds of people.
With one person and one sword, Gui Zhong came to the capital again. He came here just to find Wei Xiaobao. There is still an unfinished fate between the two.
Returning to his house, he summoned his housekeeper Huang Er.
"Huang Er, has Wei Xiaobao come here recently?"
Wei Xiaobao still knows where he lives in the capital, and if anything happens, this guy will definitely come to his door.
"Taoist Master, Brother Wei came here a few days ago and said that he was leaving the capital. Seeing that you were not here, Taoist Master, he left the news and left."
"Oh? He is leaving the capital, where is he going?"
Gui Zhong frowned. He thought Wei Xiaobao was still in the capital, so things would be much easier to handle.
Now Wei Xiaobao is not in the capital, which is a bit difficult to handle.
"Taoist Priest, you don't know that the capital is very lively these days. Princess Jianning in the palace is going to marry in Yunnan. Brother Wei went there together as a gift of marriage. It has been four or five days since he left.
!”
"Yunnan grants marriage?"
Gui Zhong patted his head and almost forgot about this matter.
"Okay, you go down first. It seems that Pindao is also going to Yunnan."
