Chapter 322: Enlightenment of the Way of the Sword (Part 2)
"I can defeat you in three moves." The old man's words seemed very arrogant, but when he said them, he was very calm. There was no momentum fluctuation around him, but this made Ye Yue even more frightened. No matter how he tried to test, the old man was still like this.
The ocean is generally unfathomable, with no trace of it exposed.
Although Yeyue is only at the peak of Yuanying's strength, his swordsmanship and fighting skills are top-notch. Even the ordinary strong people in the out-of-body stage may not be able to defeat him, and not many strong people in the peak out-of-body stage dare to say so.
Being able to defeat Ye Yue with three moves, it can be said that Ye Yue was already somewhat famous at that time, even some big names
The strong men in Chengqi all know Yeyue's reputation. She has reached the peak of her flying sword with no false starts (this must be Xiao Li's flying sword). The sword is so fierce that it is like the ocean waves, rolling in endlessly. This is what many famous and strong people say about her.
Ye Yue's evaluation of the battle, however, the prestigious Ye Yue seemed to be vulnerable to a single blow in the eyes of this old man.
Ye Yue was not angry at all, he said calmly: "Please."
At that time, Yeyue was confident and arrogant. He didn't want to bully the small with his big one, so he only used 30% of his true energy. The 30% of his true energy at the peak of Nascent Soul was exactly equivalent to 100% of this old man who cultivated immortality through martial arts. Every breakthrough in martial arts cultivation
, the true energy power of warriors is much stronger than that of cultivators of the same level, and their combat effectiveness is naturally much higher. If it were not for the difficulty of breaking through, I am afraid that "martial arts cultivation" would be the most mainstream in the world of cultivation.
Yeyue knew that the old man was not simple, so she went all out from the beginning. The flying sword of the top spiritual weapon level was like a missile coming out of the chamber, with a terrifying sound. It stabbed towards the old man with lightning speed and great power. This sword,
Used by Ye Yue Sancheng's true energy, even ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul masters have to avoid the edge for a while.
However, the old man shook his head and said, "It's just a flashy trick."
With a casual flick of the dead branch in his hand, Ye Yue's flying sword was rolled back in an understatement. He touched the ground lightly with his toes, and his figure rushed in front of Ye Yue in an instant. He was actually more powerful than Ye Yue.
The speed of Yue's flying sword was not inferior at all. It was such a terrifying speed. Yeyue had always believed in his own speed, but when he saw the old man's speed, he was shocked.
But Yeyue is not an ordinary person. Although she is surprised in her heart, her movements do not stop at all. There are six more high-grade spiritual swords in her hands. The seven swords surround the old man and trap him firmly in the middle.
"One person controls seven flying swords. It doesn't feel unnatural at all. Although it's good, it's still far behind the real swordsmanship. Watch out for the second move." The old man looked at the flying swords that seemed to have blocked all his retreats.
, said without any care.
After saying that, the dead branch in the old man's hand swung like this. As he turned and swung, the seven spiritual swords were all within one meter of the old man's hand. They were blasted away just like that, as if
There was an inexplicable aura that scattered the power of the Seven Swords. He was unable to move forward and was knocked away more than ten feet away.
The spiritual swords were damaged. Among them, the top-quality spiritual sword was refined by Ye Yue. It was connected to his mind. His face turned pale and his brain felt dizzy.
The strong man exchanged blows, and a moment of dizziness was enough to determine the outcome. When Ye Yue's mind recovered in an instant, the old man's attack had also arrived. No matter how Ye Yue moved left and right, she could not break out of the scope of the old man's sword.
Of course, if she uses 40% of her true energy, Ye Yue can dodge this blow. If she uses 50% of her true energy, Ye Yue is completely confident in defeating the old man. But in that case, Ye Yue feels that she has lost.
Ten percent of Yeyue's true energy is only 30% of Ye Yue's, and even if Ye Yue uses 50% of her true energy, she still needs fifty moves to defeat the old man, and it will take at least eighty moves to kill him.
Once too much true energy is used, this does not mean that Yeyue is not the old man's opponent under the same circumstances, and this is indeed the case.
Only ten breaths have passed since the fight between the two. The dead branch in the old man's hand is pressing against Yeyue's throat. Ten breaths and three moves later, Yeyue was defeated miserably!
I failed. Yeyue still remembers how desolate and lonely she felt when she said those three words. She entered the world of cultivation at the age of thirty-one. In the past twenty-one years, everything she did was wrong.
********** At that time, Yeyue had just reached the second level of practicing the Heaven-Treading Technique. She thought she had the peerless skill of the Heaven-Treading Technique, and with her own
I thought that with my peak swordsmanship, I could dominate the world of cultivation. Today, I was defeated by an old man in the early stage of Nascent Soul in just three moves. The opponent's swordsmanship was definitely dozens of times better than my own, and he was just a dead man.
The power erupted from the branch was no less than that of an immortal weapon. The powerful sword intent made Yeyue's heart tremble.
The old man threw the dead branch to the ground, "Now you understand." He turned around and left.
"Wait a minute, can the senior leave his name? The junior will remember the great kindness of the senior."
"My name is Dugu Qiubai." After the old man finished speaking, his figure disappeared instantly without a trace.
"Dugu Qiubai, Dugu Qiubei******" Yeyue muttered a few times, and suddenly her pupils shrank slightly, "He is Dugu Qiubei!"
At that time, Yeyue's xinxing had not yet reached the supreme state of heaven and earth being natural and all dharma returning to its origin, so it was impossible for him not to be shocked.
Many people in the world of cultivation may not know the name Dugu Qiufei, but whether they are martial arts or martial arts cultivators, if they hear his name, they will definitely recognize it!
Dugu Qiufei, the pinnacle figure in martial arts cultivation, is comparable to Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang sect. On the sword wall where Dugu Qiufei retired to seclusion, he wrote:
I have traversed the rivers and lakes for more than thirty years, killing all the enemies and defeating all the heroes. There is no one in the world who can resist me. I have nothing to do. I can only live in seclusion in the deep valleys and have eagles as my friends. Alas, I have never been able to find an enemy in my life. I am so lonely and embarrassed.
also.
"Ugh, if you seek a rival in your life but can't find one, you will be lonely and embarrassed." What a great state this is! How many people in the world can achieve it?
In fact, martial arts is not as far away from cultivators as many people say. An innate master is equivalent to the level of the enlightenment stage, an innate master of great achievements is equivalent to a cultivator in the Bigu stage, and a top master is equivalent to the Xuanzhao stage, and if
When Dugu Qiubai was in his forties, he became a genius
, which is equivalent to the level of a cultivator in the Golden Core stage, while Dugu Qiubei’s swordsmanship is unpredictable, which is enough to bring out the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Today’s Dugu Qiubei, although his true Yuan strength is not as good as the early Nascent Soul stage, even if he is out of power,
A cultivator at the top of Qiao may not be able to defeat Dugu Qiubai!
Dugu Qiubai has used four swords in his life, the sharp and fierce sword used before the weak crown, the soft Ziwei sword before the age of 30, the heavy sword with no skill and sharpness before the age of 40, and then gradually no sword but the sword
Realm, this is a wonderful martial arts realm.
These four realms also divide the four levels of life.
The first sword is four feet long and extremely sharp. Under the stone tablet under the sword is written, "Fierce and fierce, invincible. In front of the weak crown, he will compete with the heroes of Heshuo." The young man has a strong character, many dissatisfaction with the world, and is eager to eliminate all unfairness.
An imperfect object, full of ideals to attack and criticize everywhere, unstoppable, conscious of being invincible, and competing with the heroes of Heshuo is even more of a mission.
Later, I discovered a problem. There was no sword on the second stone tablet, and underneath it was written: Ziwei Soft Sword, used before the age of thirty, accidentally injured an unknown righteous man, and abandoned it in a deep valley. Soft swords are harder to use than ordinary hard swords, and they are incomparably sharper and harder to use.
One level, but blindly thinking that justice is being done, it is not
I didn’t know that I might make mistakes and accidentally injure the martyrs. Only then did I realize how unreliable judgment based on impulse is. The so-called ominousness refers to the guilt in the heart. Abandoned in the deep valley was not only the soft sword that accidentally injured the martyrs, but also the young man.
People are desperate and arrogant.
The third sword is naturally a heavy blunt sword. What is written under the stone tablet is that the heavy sword has no edge, is ingenious and has no workmanship, and it was used all over the world before the age of forty. A sophisticated person has long learned how to lift a heavy weight without revealing its edge.
, but more powerful
. These four words are easier said than done. The most important thing is to cultivate deep internal strength. However, the difference between a heavy sword, a sharp sword, and a soft sword is still a difference in technique, and the goal is always the same.
It is domineering, and it runs rampant throughout the world.
The fourth stage is to gradually enter the state of transformation. The fourth wooden sword, the text on the stone tablet says, after the age of forty, you don’t bother to bring anything with you, and any grass, wood, bamboo, or stone can be used as a sword. From then on, you progress and gradually enter the state where no sword is better than a sword.
Disdain to bring things with you, that is, you are not controlled by external objects. No sword is better than having a sword, because there are fewer restrictions and restrictions without a sword. A wooden sword is just a coffin. By the age of forty, there will be such progress.
It is indeed enviable to not be obsessed with external things, not to work for fame, fortune, success or failure, and gradually become indifferent. However, when one reaches this state, it is inevitable for people to feel lonely. If you can't even get a defeat in a lonely way, isn't it like being a mundane person?
better.
Even Yeyue was fascinated by the few lines of words on the stone wall. When the sword wall was discovered, almost everyone in the martial arts world believed that Dugu Qiu's defeat ended without any cure. Many martial arts cultivators had also inquired about Dugu Qiu in the world of cultivation.
Although he was defeated, there was no news. Yeyue also thought that a generation of heroes had died sadly, but who would have expected that he would appear here.
No wonder, at that time, it felt like the power of the old man's sword was surging, like a vast ocean, overwhelming everything, but swallowing everything up. No matter how strong the attack was, the opponent would be swallowed up in one gulp, leaving it nowhere to receive the force, as if it was hitting an empty space.
At that time, Yeyue's swordsmanship was only at the late stage of the Spiritual Sword, but the old man had reached the early stage of the Immortal Sword. It was not until fifty years later that Yeyue realized how ridiculous his idea was at that time, even though he had used ten
Cheng Zhenyuan may not be the old man's opponent, and Dugu Qiufei's swordsmanship may be barely comparable to that of a strong martial arts sword cultivator or above in the Mahayana period! However, in the world of cultivation at that time, martial arts sword cultivators could only have outstanding skills at most.
Orifice period!
From then on, Ye Yue abandoned the sword and went into seclusion for one hundred and fifty years. After realizing the early stage of the immortal sword, when he came out of seclusion, his cultivation only reached the early stage of leaving the body, but he could fight with the Mahayana stage! But for more than a hundred years of martial arts
But he has been stuck at the peak of Nascent Soul.
Yeyue can easily enter the state of unity between heaven and man by using any kind of weapon, or without using weapons. However, precisely because of this, thousands of ways cannot be improved smoothly, and Yeyue always has a knot in her heart.
The improvement of martial arts is comprehensive. At that time, Yeyue didn't know what to do and wanted to ask Dugu Qiubai for advice, but he couldn't find it anymore, so he found another way and studied Shenwu Dao!
Martial arts and the spiritual world are combined with each other, breaking through all the way, and the realm keeps soaring. Shenwu Dao is stronger and faster than martial arts, but it is still not as primitive as martial arts. It can be said that if Wu Qinxi is the originator of the world's inner strength and mental skills, then martial arts is also
The ancestor of Shenwu Dao is at the first level, although the descendants continue to
They develop new techniques and also focus on internal strength, but they are still a little bit behind the soul of their ancestors at that time! This is not to say that Shenwu Dao is useless and is completely inferior to martial arts. In general, the two are still comparable, and each has its own merits.
, but it would be even better if martial arts and Shenwu Dao can be integrated.
If it weren't for Ye Yue's martial arts suddenly rising not long ago, how could Ye Yue begin to merge martial arts and Shenwu Dao after breaking through the ninth level of heaven, and gain combat power countless times beyond her own. You must know that in the quasi-sage realm, one can reach the sky one step at a time, and the ninth level
The difference between the sky and the eleventh level is enough to be calculated by more than two digits.
Recalling the various past experiences of kendo, all the foundations, advanced theories, and realm perceptions merged together, forming a mysterious whirlpool.
The swordsman is not the emperor among soldiers, nor the noble among soldiers. The way of swordsmanship is not invincible, and the peak of everything is unbreakable. Everything is an illusion in the sword. The sword is just a sword, only the root of the sword, the spirit of the sword, and the essence of the sword.
, the origin of the sword, the soul of the sword, the meaning of the sword, the body of the sword, the power of the sword, the energy of the sword, the nine swords are unified into one, becoming the supreme sword. One sword can collapse the space, destroy the universe, and blast everything!
At this moment, Yeyue actually felt that the bottleneck of swordsmanship that had been stuck on the fifth level of true swordsmanship was faintly loosened.
