A man in a green shirt was leaning against a tree with his eyes closed, as if he was falling asleep.
Beside him, there is a path.
And on the man's shoulder, stood a bird of unknown species.
The bird's feathers are grey-brown, its beak is white, and the legs that support its body are somewhat black. Overall, the bird's feathers are bright and bright, but it always feels a little less agile.
There is a faint red light in its eyes. This red light seems to be full of spirituality in its eyes, giving people the illusion that these are human eyes.
The bird stood on the shoulder of the man in green shirt, motionless, like a dull and lifeless wooden bird.
The man in green shirt who was leaning against the tree slowly opened his eyes. He turned his head and looked into the distance, as if he could see through the thousands of trees in front of him. "We are only in the Zifu realm now, so it's not so fast..."
The man smiled, as if something happy had happened to him.
So, he shook himself and straightened his green shirt, just like a person who loves cleanliness wants to shake off the dust on his body.
The gray bird standing on the shoulder of the man in blue did not fly away because of the man's shaking. Instead, it suddenly fell at the feet of the man in blue.
The man in green shirt turned and left, not paying attention to the bird that fell under his feet, as if he had not noticed it, as if he had regarded it as a speck of dust on his body.
After the man in green shirt left, the bird lay motionless on the ground, and its feathers that originally looked bright gradually lost their color.
Look carefully, where is this live bird? This is obviously a dead bird.
The bird's eyes have already turned gray and its body has become stiff.
…
…
"Have you broken through the realm of Zifu?" Li Yunxi asked.
He Yidao nodded to Li Yunxi.
Then, without saying any more, he randomly found a tree next to him and sat down cross-legged.
Li Yunxi saw He Yidao suddenly meditating here, and knew that He Yidao had just broken through and needed to stabilize his cultivation.
She did not choose to disturb him, but found a place next to He Yidao and stood quietly, always alert to the surroundings and guarding He Yidao who was practicing.
Meditation and practice, especially when he had just broken through the realm, could not be disturbed, and He Yidao's choice of place was too hasty. Therefore, Li Yunxi had to stay next to He Yidao to minimize the impact of the external environment on him.
She kept exploring around, detecting the surrounding environment.
When her eyes fell on the three people still lying on the ground again, she was suddenly stunned for a while, not knowing what she was thinking.
But it will only take a while, and you will come to your senses.
He Yidao broke through to the realm of Zifu. Originally, he had not planned to break through so early because he had not yet found a direction in which he could use his flying knife to pursue the avenue.
Because what he practiced was flying knives, not flying swords, which was very different from the founder of the Tianjian Sect who used swords to prove his way to heaven.
The final emphasis of the Tianjian Sect's techniques is the combination of Tao and sword, and the predecessors have also summarized many methods and experiences of the combination of Tao and sword.
Flying knives are not flying swords. If we use the orthodox term of Taoism, flying swords are orthodox, while flying knives are miscellaneous studies.
Whether in the world of secular life or in the world of cultivation, when people think of flying knives, they think of low-class hidden weapons. When people think of flying swords, they think of the sword as a gentleman!
From this point of view, flying swords and flying knives are different in nature.
The first step for the combination of Tao and sword is from the realm of Zifu, so this is why He Yidao has never dared to break through.
There are two most important points for sword cultivators in the Purple Mansion realm: First, the qi and the sword are combined, so that the sword essence in the body can be integrated with the flying sword, thereby collecting the flying sword in the Dantian.
Secondly, the combination of the god and the sword allows the sword to be controlled from a distance, which is also the biggest feature of breaking through the realm of the Purple Mansion.
And He Yidao had already achieved the union of the spirit and the sword when he was in the realm of Qi refining, only one step away from the union of Qi and the sword. Therefore, as long as He Yidao reaches the realm of Qi refining perfection, if he wants to break through to the realm of Zifu, it is just a matter of time.
It's as easy as drinking water.
But He Yidao did not choose to break through. Instead, he kept thinking about a question: Should he take the right path of flying swords with a bright future, or should he take the right path of flying swords which is very bumpy and he doesn't know the way forward?
However, after He Yidao heard what the sword-browed man said before he died, it made him think a lot.
The road is open to the sky, and everyone goes one way. There is no need to give up your inner path for a path that is magnanimous but does not belong to you.
What suits you is the best.
Pursuing the great road should be done without any regrets!
Although Tiantai Peak's inherited skill "Sword-Raising Jue" breeds flying swords, what's wrong with using the method of raising swords to breed flying swords?
Likewise, whatever is conceived and raised in the end is his own Taoist weapon.
It's just that in the realm of Zifu, the difference between He Yidao and other sword cultivators is that other sword cultivators can fly with swords, but He Yidao cannot fly with swords.
This was the difficulty He Yidao encountered in his first step on the road to 'the union of Tao and sword'.
He Yidao carefully felt the flying knife that had been taken into the Zi Mansion. The flying knife seemed to be the same as the sword element in his body, and there was no substantial difference between the two.
It's like a drop of black water flowing into a small river. The only difference is that this drop of black water will not spread into the small river.
The same is true when the flying knife is in the sword element in Zifu. The flying knife is like the sword element, but it will not completely integrate into the sword element. The flying knife is still the same flying knife.
After He Yidao circulated for several days, the sword element became more condensed. The flying knife wandering in the sword element was a little jerky at first, as if the sword element was slightly rejecting the outside brothers.
It wasn't until the knife element circulated for thirty-six days that the feeling of rejection gradually disappeared. It wasn't until he felt that the flying knife no longer had any sense of disobedience in his tendons and even his dantian that He Yidao opened his eyes.
The first thing He Yidao saw was Li Yunxi standing beside him to protect him. He Yidao smiled knowingly.
Li Yunxi also noticed that He Yidao had finished practicing, and turned around and asked: "How?"
He Yidao nodded and said with a smile: "Not bad."
Li Yunxi frowned, because He Yidao said it was okay, not very good. Girls are more sensitive in terms of language.
Before Li Yunxi could ask further questions, He Yidao spoke first and said: "Actually, I have something that I am curious about."
"Huh?" Li Yunxi looked at He Yidao who was slowly getting up from the ground and asked.
He Yidao smiled, very warmly, "I just want to know why you rejected the master brother's offer to come to Tiantai Peak?"
