Li Muchan walked around and said, "I've long wanted to see the Purple Star Palace. Maybe it really has something to do with the Xijiang Gang. Doesn't it matter that Master Deng is injured?"
Chen Daotang waved his hand: "You can go to the ground in one month."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "It seems that the injury is quite serious!"
Chen Daotang shook his head and laughed: "I forgot that you have a grudge against him! ... But since you have a grudge, why did you save him again halfway?"
Li Muchan said: "Public and private matters must be separated. Since the sect leader has given an order, of course I must complete it. But I didn't expect the Xijiang Gang to be so cunning. They thought that it would be enough to defeat them."
"Behind the Xijiang Gang is the shadow of the Dajiang Sect, which cannot be underestimated." Chen Daotang shook his head and said, "Do you know the Dajiang Sect?"
Li Muchan pondered, and quickly found out after rummaging through his mind. At first, he was limited by his lack of knowledge, so he made great efforts to understand the martial arts. He read through the Tianyuan Pavilion's books, and many old things were clear to him, and he remembered them as soon as he was stimulated.
Li Muchan said: "Dajiang Sect was a large sect a hundred years ago. It rose and declined quickly. It is like a flash in the pan. There must be something behind it, right?"
"That's right." Chen Daotang sighed: "The collapse of Dajiang Sect has something to do with the four major sects."
Li Muchan smiled and shook his head.
The Dajiang Sect must have been too dazzling and the four major sects could no longer sit still, so they secretly destroyed them and eliminated the threat. This kind of thing is very common.
Chen Daotang shook his head and said: "I also blame the Dajiang Sect for being too domineering at the beginning. As soon as he appeared, he challenged the four sects, subdued all parties, and forced the four sects to join forces."
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows: "So, Dajiang Sect's martial arts is extremely powerful?"
Chen Daotang nodded slowly: "The Dajiang Sect is stronger than any other sect, and only the four sects can unite!"
Li Muchan said: "They are annihilated. Where is the martial arts mentality?"
Chen Daotang looked solemn and solemnly said: "They disappeared mysteriously, and their thoughts were also missing."
Li Muchan sat down: "Have they arranged their escape?"
Li Muchan said: "The Dajiang Sect has resurrected..."
Chen Daotang frowned: "It's been such a troubled time, first the Zixing Palace, and then the Dajiang Sect!"
Li Muchan said: "Are the two really related?"
"It doesn't look like the mentality." Chen Daotang slowly shook his head: "I have fought with people from the Xijiang Gang, not from the Zixing Palace."
"Senior Brother Chen, have you ever seen a master from the Dajiang Sect?" Li Muchan asked.
Chen Daotang said: "The sect leader has demonstrated that the Dajiang Sect's moves are like a surging river, while the Zixing Palace's moves are elusive and unpredictable, not all the way."
Li Muchan breathed a sigh of relief, if the two factions became one, there would be big trouble.
"Senior brother, I want to have a discussion with everyone." Li Muchan said.
Chen Daotang asked: "How to compare?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Let's talk about it one by one, how many disciples in our sect have made it through the stone forest?"
"About two hundred," Chen Daotang said, "but there aren't many in the mountains."
"What about Uncle Master and the others?" Li Muchan asked.
Chen Daotang said with a smile: "That's not a small statement! ...Uncle Master and the others have been on the mountain for most of their lives."
"I want to compete with them!" Li Muchan said with a smile: "Brother, help me think of a way!"
Chen Daotang thought for a while and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll invite the fight for you!"
He secretly thought that the ordinary disciples, Uncle Master, and the others didn't bother to pay attention. They didn't have the time to spare. Junior Brother Li, who practiced the Tianji Swordsmanship line, started practicing the Great Zhou Tianjian again. Everyone was curious and would not refuse.
He shook his head. The Tianji Swordsmanship lineage had high hopes. All the disciples of the Mingjing Sect had tried it. Only a few of them had mastered Little Zhoutian Swordsmanship. All of them had become top masters. He was favored for this and benefited endlessly.
————
For more than a month that followed, Li Muchan continued to study martial arts with his masters and uncles. Each of them had profound cultivation and was better than him, and their swordsmanship was also exquisite.
He has mastered the skills of master uncles in each lineage. It took thirty-five days for the thirty-sixth lineage to have one person every day, but there was no one in the Tianji Swordsmanship lineage. He practiced the Great Zhoutian Swordsmanship, which can be regarded as the direct successor of the Tianji Swordsmanship lineage.
He has benefited endlessly. Each of the thirty-five meridians of martial arts has its own subtleties, and the Great Zhoutian Sword Technique is vaguely consistent with it. Every sparring session is imprinted in his mind, and every time he thinks about it and replays it, he gains something.
The Eight Interpretations of Kendo provide a deeper understanding.
Li Muchan could now conclude that Tianji Jue and Tianji Sword were indeed related, which made him even more intoxicated and unable to extricate himself. He thought about it day and night, forgetting everything.
His progress in the past month shocked everyone. In the beginning, the masters were able to handle it with ease, but in the next few days, Da Zhoutian's sword skills were able to suppress the opponent, and he was undefeated.
They saw with their own eyes that Li Muchan was comprehending the Great Zhou Tian Sword Technique at a speed visible to the naked eye, making great progress with each passing day, slowly surpassing him from the laggard, and running far ahead.
They were jealous but also excited. The emergence of such a prodigy from the Mingjing Sect was a sign of revitalization. Once they truly mastered the Tianji Swordsmanship, the Mingjing Sect could conquer the three sects and become the number one sect in the world.
Thinking of this, they and Li Muchan worked harder and harder, and used their unique skills to press the bottom of the box unceremoniously, making Li Muchan full of danger and extremely strenuous.
In the evening of this day, Li Muchan was practicing the Great Zhou Tianjian in the small courtyard. The light of the sword flickered, as if a few cold stars were scattered in the sky, and the trajectory of the sword light contained a mysterious aura.
There was a knock on the courtyard door and Chen Daotang came in. Li Muchan stopped his sword and said, "Senior brother?"
"This is given to you by the sect master." Chen Daotang came to him and handed the bundle behind his back to Li Muchan.
Li Muchan returned the sword to its sheath and took it with both hands. He came to the small pavilion, placed it on the stone table and opened it. Inside was a rosewood box, a palm's width thick.
He opened it directly, and inside was a thick silver-white silk volume, which shone golden in the setting sun. It had the atmosphere of vicissitudes of time and exuded luxury.
"This is...?" Li Muchan turned to look at Chen Daotang.
"Tiangang Divine Sword." Chen Daotang smiled.
Li Muchan nodded slowly. There were two words written on the cover. The sharp breath hit his face, like substance, and he couldn't help but lean back.
Chen Daotang solemnly said: "Wuji, it is said that each of the thirty-six postures of this Tiangang sword technique can correspond to the Tiangang star in the sky and use the power of attracting stars, so it can be called the divine sword!"
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows.
Chen Daotang said: "This is just a legend. The senior who mastered the Tianji Swordsmanship went crazy and left nothing behind. No one can practice the Tiangang Divine Sword anymore. Give it a try and don't force it!"
Li Muchan asked: "Brother, no one can practice?"
"Yes, I have tried it too." Chen Daotang nodded and said, "Everyone has tried it, but this method is too mysterious and magical. I can't figure out the way and have to give up."
Li Muchan's heart was itching unbearably. The more he practiced, the more he realized that Tianji's sword technique was broad, profound, and infinitely mysterious. It was like a treasure. A little digging would reveal the treasure.
He couldn't wait to open the silk book. The silk book was soft and smooth, like silk, but very heavy. He ignored it and turned to the second page. Next to a simple sword gesture were two lines of mental techniques.
Li Muchan frowned, quickly flipped through the remaining thirty-five pages, closed the book, and smiled.
Chen Daotang smiled and said, "Isn't it too mysterious?"
Li Muchan nodded: "It is indeed extraordinary! ...Thank you, senior brother!"
"Do you understand?" Chen Daotang looked at him curiously.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "It looks simple but difficult to practice, and it's a bit mysterious. Let me practice and see!"
The above is the method of visualization, the thirty-six Tiangang stars. In each posture, this star needs to be incorporated into the sword, so that it is integrated and used to attract the power of the stars.
The function of the sword style is to attract star power, rather than exquisite killing moves. This set of Tiangang Swords is similar to the Great Bei Sword. One is to transport internal power, and the other is to transport star power. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature for better updates of the novel. Faster!)
