The fog above Linghu Lake has long since dissipated, and the sun has broken through, creating rugged waves.
Center of the lake.
Lin Yun opened his eyes and looked up at the rising sun in the distance. His handsome face was full of energy, and his energy was at an unprecedented peak.
Now twenty years old, he is no longer the young Lin Yun he was before, but the vitality between his brows is still the same as before.
"The rising sun is so beautiful."
Lin Yun exhaled a breath, sat cross-legged, and lazily stretched out his arms.
Comfortable!
After his cultivation level was promoted to the two-star Heavenly God Pill, Lin Yun spent the past three days on stabilizing his realm. Now that his cultivation level is completely stable, his whole body feels extremely comfortable.
Looking at the flaming rising sun, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth involuntarily, with a look of yearning and emotion on his face.
The rising sun is really beautiful. The sword he created himself chose the brilliance of the rising sun at dawn.
Every time you see it, you can feel a new feeling.
Under the rising sun, the clouds are flying.
Just like Lin Yun's heart toward the sword, he is full of hope every day and never gives up even in times of despair.
call!
Lin Yun tapped the sole of his foot on the water, took out a pot of wine, swung upwards, and drank all the wine in the pot facing the rising sun.
"Is someone coming?"
After Lin Yun landed by the lake, he sensed someone visiting Feiyun Peak and easily lifted the restrictions.
Not long after, a figure appeared in his field of vision. The figure was carrying a sword case and dressed in a green shirt. He looked quite casual. It was Feng Luan, the senior brother of Shenxiaofeng.
"Big brother."
Lin Yun smiled and quickly stepped forward to greet him.
After getting closer, Feng Luan smiled and said: "Strictly speaking, I should call you Uncle Master. The Peak Master is my Master."
Lin Yun was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
Fortunately, this sword sect is not too strict in enforcing seniority, otherwise it would really be a bit chaotic.
"How's it going? Are you still used to living in this place?"
Feng Luan looked at Linghu Lake and asked softly.
“Very satisfied.”
Lin Yun nodded.
This is true. Apart from the Holy Mountain, it is difficult for such a large sword sect to have such a good cultivation place.
Even the Holy Pool Square in Shenxiao Peak is not as good as his own Feiyun Peak. He owns a spiritual lake alone.
The cultivation speed here is several times better than that of the Holy Pool Square. This is a privilege that only Tianzihao disciples can enjoy. Otherwise, even elders in the life and death realm would have difficulty owning a floating peak alone.
The two chatted casually for a while, drank some wine, and Feng Luan got down to business.
"The Five Peaks Competition will start in one and a half months. Let me inform you." Feng Luan looked at Lin Yun and said softly.
Lin Yun was thoughtful, he knew about the Five Peaks Competition.
Chen Ling had mentioned it a few times before, but he didn't ask carefully. He immediately asked Feng Luan for advice.
Feng Luan put down his wine glass, with a gentle look on his face, and said with a smile: "There are several major events within the Jianzong. One is the rotation of the Heaven and Earth Rankings, which happens every two years, and the other is the Five Peaks Competition, which is held once a year.
Disciples of the Peak God Alchemy Realm participate. In addition to this, there are occasionally other major events, but they are inferior compared to these two."
"Are only the Shendan realm participating in the Five Peaks Competition? Speaking of which, I don't seem to see many Dragon Pulse realm disciples in the Sword Sect."
Lin Yun asked curiously.
"Disciples in the Dragon Pulse Realm are generally older. It doesn't mean much to stay in the sect. They need to go out and gain experience. They themselves are also the core of the Sword Sect and have great power.
No less than the elders, many sect affairs will be handled by them."
Feng Luan explained casually.
Lin Yun thought about it, and it seemed to make some sense. For example, Senior Brother Feng Luan could already act on behalf of the Peak Master many times.
"In the past, Shenxiao Peak was always at the bottom, and there was no pressure from Master. Shenxiao Peak has been decadent for too long."
When Feng Luan said this, he laughed at himself and said immediately: "But this time, Master still hopes that you can hit the top ten, otherwise Master will be under great pressure."
"How do you say this?"
Lin Yun said softly.
"You kid, you are still pretending to be stupid. The master gave you the status of disciple of Tianzihao. You have already made a big fuss. In the end, he also gave you the Golden Crow Divine Iron."
Feng Luan glanced at Lin Yun and said with a smile: "Don't say that the top ten people on the list are jealous. I am extremely jealous, senior brother. Master actually doesn't care about this. You mainly want to compete. If you can't even get into the top ten,
Everyone in the Sword Sect is laughing at you, how do you handle yourself?"
Lin Yun looked helpless and said with a smile: "The Golden Crow Divine Iron is really hot to touch."
"What, you regret it?" Feng Luan said with a smile.
"I'm afraid they will regret it."
Lin Yunfeng was calm and said with a calm smile.
"The rules of the Five Peaks Competition are different every year. This year's rules are not clear yet. I only know that the location is at the Guanxiantai." Feng Luan said solemnly.
"Is it the Immortal Viewing Platform where Yu Qingfeng left his sword light?"
Lin Yun's heart moved. Among the four treasures of the Sword Sect, he was most interested in the Immortal Viewing Terrace.
"Well, this time some restrictions will be lifted, allowing everyone to jump over the Immortal Observation Platform to participate in the Five Peaks Competition, so that they can truly see clearly the sword light left by Yu Qingfeng back then. This opportunity is still quite rare..."
Feng Luan nodded and explained softly.
"What kind of existence is that sword light?"
"Haha, you will know when the time comes. I can't tell you clearly now."
Feng Luan's success successfully aroused Lin Yun's interest.
After the other party left, Lin Yun's eyes flickered and he whispered to himself: "There is still a month and a half left, I should go out for a walk."
Now that his cultivation is stable, there are still swordsmanship left to practice. Continuing to stay will not help much in improving his strength.
The practice of swordsmanship requires understanding in actual combat and killing, and the Dragon and Phoenix World-Destroying Sword Code also requires some resources to break through.
Now Lin Yun is so poor that he can only obtain demon pills by killing demon beasts.
Fortunately, the dragon and phoenix world-destroying sword can be broken through in only half a step, and the resources required are not too many. One month of training should be enough.
…
There is a vast and continuous mountain range outside the inner gate of Jianzong, called the Kuji Mountain Range.
This mountain range is quite famous throughout the ancient times. Not only the Sword Sect, but also disciples of many other super sects often come and go in this mountain range for training.
The monsters and monsters in the Kuji Mountain Range are crisscrossed, undulating, extending all the way, and even spreading out of the Ancient Desolate Territory.
On weekdays, there are many sect disciples who come from experience, killing monsters, practicing martial arts, accumulating killing intent, or searching historical sites and looking for heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
There are many legends in the Kuji Mountains, which have existed since ancient times, and there are many forbidden places in it.
Disciples who come late to practice will mostly choose to practice in fringe areas. There are many dangers deep in the mountains. Not to mention the dragon vein realm, even the bosses in the life and death realm can't guarantee absolute safety.
There is a misty gray fog above the mountains, which persists all year round and settles into a poisonous miasma, shrouding the entrance to the edge of the mountains.
The poisonous miasma is so terrifying that even disciples in the divine elixir realm must be cautious when practicing on the edge and not dare to be careless.
After Lin Yun inquired about such a place, he left alone.
If you want to take Tianshui Swordsmanship a step further and master one hundred and eight artistic conceptions in a short period of time, you can show off your skills just by working behind closed doors.
Of course it doesn't work.
You must find a dangerous place, wandering between killing and life and death, to quickly understand the secrets of the sword.
The Kuji Mountain Range is a pretty good place.
When they arrived at their destination, Lin Yun carried the sword box on his back and barged in directly.
In the blink of an eye, he stayed at the edge of the Withered Mountains for half a month. For half a month, Lin Yun practiced the Tianshui Sword Technique without sleep.
Lin Yun has already practiced the Tianshui Sword Technique to the transformation state, mastering thirty-six different artistic conceptions.
But it is far from the one hundred and eight kinds of artistic conceptions mentioned by Master. Even the subtle realm is elusive and as misty as clouds.
As for the legendary peak of deification, there is not even a clue.
Entering the realm of subtlety is too difficult for Master Tianshendan, but in half a month, it is not without gains.
A swordsmanship is divided into Xiaocheng, Dacheng, Perfection and Transformation. For ordinary people, it is already very scary to practice to Perfection. As for the Transformation, 99% of people cannot achieve it.
As for the subtleties and deifications above the realm of transformation, most people have never heard of it.
Under an ancient tree that supports the sky.
The ground was filled with blood and a fishy smell. Within a radius of ten miles, as far as the eye could see, there were monster-level corpses of three-star divine elixir realms everywhere.
Coupled with the gloomy and dim environment, in the blink of an eye, this place is a hell on earth.
Under the ancient trees, Lin Yun was spotless, his body was crystal clear, and the holy light lingered, giving this place of purgatory a faint layer of Buddha's light.
"The sea of clouds is boundless, the water in the sky asks about the moon, the heart of the sky picks up the moon, the sword rises from the depth of the clouds, the water in the sky is vast, the heart of the sky is long, above the white clouds...the water of the great river comes up from the sky."
Lin Yun crossed his legs and closed his eyes, holding the Bodhi in his hand, vaguely grasping some key points.
Tianshui Sword Technique may seem complicated and obscure, but the key points still lie in four characters: cloud, water, moon, and sky.
One hundred and eight artistic conceptions seem to be a lot, but in fact they are all composed of these four kinds of artistic conceptions, and the order of the words cannot be changed.
There is water in the clouds, the moon in the water, the sky above the moon, and the dragon in the sky!
"My order should be correct."
Lin Yun opened his eyes and murmured to himself, and all the Buddha's light surrounding him dissipated.
Whoosh!
The originally gloomy and terrifying mountain forest became extremely cold at the moment when the Buddha's light disappeared. Combined with the scene of a river of blood in front of you, it was even more horrifying.
In half a month, almost all the monsters within a hundred miles radius were slaughtered by Lin Yun.
During the killing, Lin Yun was still unable to get in, but now he understood the key and was thoughtful.
There were like four doors in front of him. Each time he opened a door, he could see a bigger scenery. When all four doors were opened, one hundred and eight artistic conceptions could be grasped, and he could return to the painting and find the secret.
Pay close attention to every detail of this swordsmanship.
"Clouds, water, moon, sky... it should be right."
Lin Yun confirmed again.
roar!
At this moment, two extremely violent roars of beasts came from the distance in the forest. The forest clouds rose up with the wind, soared up and landed on the tops of the ancient trees.
He looked far away, following the roar of the beast.
Are those two king-level monsters fighting again?
The monsters are fighting for territory, and the original owner of this area was a king-level three-star Celestial Blood Dragon Ape.
But recently a demonic wolf was killed, and it was also in the realm of the King of Heavenly God Pills, so it would lead to fights from time to time.
When he first entered the Kuji Mountains, Lin Yun temporarily avoided the sharp edges of the two demonic beasts, but it seemed that this was no longer necessary.
"Just take the two of you and try it!"
A smile appeared on Lin Yun's lips, and he disappeared into the treetops in a flash.
