It is said that in the first era, there was only one cultivation method in the monastic world, and that was to compare whose fist was bigger.
So the battles at that time were often full of drama - yes, that's from today's perspective.
Specifically...
"Let you see a fist as big as a clay pot!"
"I'll show you a fist as powerful as a pressure cooker!"
"Okay, your pressure cooker is stronger! My Clay Pot has given up!"
…
However, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually depleted in the First Era, the fist contest gradually became less popular.
As a result, the concept of weapons gradually emerged.
Knives, spears, swords, halberds, sticks, and sticks were gradually developed at that time.
But at that time, there was still no clear concept of "martial arts system".
It was not until the recovery of the Second Era that the concept of "circle" in martial arts gradually emerged.
As a result, each continent gradually broke away from the family development model of villages and towns, and began to have the concept and philosophy of sects.
It was not until the mid-to-late Second Era that a swordsmanship genius emerged, finally detonating the contradictions in martial arts concepts, making swordsmanship independent from the traditional martial arts system and forming its own school. As a result, "Sword Cultivator" gradually emerged.
” statement.
But what really made the martial art of sword cultivation flourish was the stage of contention among a hundred schools of thought at the beginning of the third era.
There are four major factions: Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Wu Jia. Although sword cultivators have become their own sect and are not comparable to traditional martial arts, all sword cultivators still recognize the Wu family's statement and their identity as a member of the Wu family.
.This is like Yin Yang magic and Five Elements magic have always been competing with each other for superiority, and there are two major thunder magics eyeing each other. But no matter which system they are, they always recognize the identity of Taoist disciples.
In essence, there is no difference between swordsmanship and traditional martial arts. What really causes discord between them is actually a dispute over ideas.
But it is precisely because of this dispute that sword cultivators have amazing room for development.
Among them, the typical achievement is having invisible sword energy.
In the beginning, it was tangible sword energy.
Its essence is actually Sword Qi Burst, the most classic medium and long-range combat method among swordsmen.
Through the guidance of weapons (magic weapons), sword cultivators can turn the true energy in the body into sword energy and shoot it out, but this method basically requires borrowing the power of the medium. So with the hard work of a certain swordsman genius,
Finally, I found that if a certain carrier is used as the core, the sword energy can also be separated from the touch of the medium and become an independent entity.
Thus, the tangible sword energy in the monastic world was born.
After so many years of exploration, testing, and research, the sword cultivators finally confirmed that the various evil spirits existing in the monastic world are the best carriers of tangible sword energy.
For example, Su Anran's evil sword energy is a tangible sword energy condensed with blood evil as a carrier.
And what is more advanced than the tangible sword energy is the invisible sword energy.
It is a sword energy carrier that is purely condensed by high-intensity divine consciousness, mental power and true energy. It is a carrier of strong spiritual power, supplemented by true energy filling and perfusion, and then controlled by spiritual consciousness, truly invisible and without substance.
Gathering and dispersing by the heart - As long as you are within the scope of your own spiritual consciousness, it is possible to condense invisible sword energy anywhere.
Although theoretically speaking, after opening the eyebrow aperture, that is, after cultivating to the fifth level of the aperture realm, you can condense the invisible sword energy.
But this is only theoretical.
Of the one hundred sword gods on the list of sword gods, there is often only one in the end. Two new sword cultivators have hope of cultivating the invisible sword energy - just hope. And among the hundred who have the hope of cultivating the invisible sword,
Among the new Qi sword cultivators, usually only one, or even a larger proportion, can cultivate the invisible sword Qi.
And even if the invisible sword energy is finally cultivated, it will generally not be in the Aperture Realm, but in the Yunling Realm, or even the Innate Realm.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are really geniuses who can cultivate invisible sword energy in the realm of Tongqiao.
As far as Su Anran knew, her third and fourth senior sisters cultivated the invisible sword energy after opening the eyebrow aperture.
And it was obvious that Ye Jinxuan believed that Su Anran would be able to cultivate the invisible sword energy in the Aperture Realm.
As for why?
"My junior brother Ye Jinxuan must be, and can only be, a genius."
Su Anran looked at the smiling Ye Jinxuan, and he once asked, what if he couldn't cultivate the invisible sword energy in the Tongqiao realm.
Ye Jinxuan’s answer to this is...
"Master said, little junior brother, you are talented and smart. As long as you have enough practical experience, you can quickly master whatever you practice. If you can't cultivate the invisible sword energy by then, then I will teach you well in the valley about the invisible sword.
The way to cultivate Qi.”
Well, I still said this with a smile.
Then Su Anran really worked hard to study.
…
At this moment, Su Anran was breathing heavily.
Under the bombardment of Ye Jinxuan's invisible sword energy, he looked very embarrassed. Not only were his clothes severely damaged, but there were a lot of scars on his body, and he had even turned into a cat with a painted face - literally.
The wounds on his body were very small, no more than an inch in length, and the bleeding was not necessarily serious. Most of them were just blood droplets seeping out from the surface of the skin - but the pain was real. And because of the severity of the injury,
There were really too many of them, and it actually looked more ferocious and terrifying. Especially the dense scars on his face, it was almost an exaggeration to say that he was disfigured.
At this time, Su Anran explained to the world what it means to be "incomplete".
At the beginning, he struggled and resisted.
But thanks to Fang Qianwen's special medicine - Su Anran felt that senior sister's special medicine was extremely scary when things like this happened - no matter how scary those dense scars were, they would always scab over the night after the medicine was applied.
Then only a shallow white mark will be left on the second day, and usually it will have returned to its original state on the third day, and may even have a skin whitening effect.
This left Su Anran with no excuses.
He felt that the combination of Senior Sister's elixir and Fourth Senior Sister's special training was the most terrifying torture in the world.
"How dare you be distracted?"
Ye Jinxuan's cold voice woke up Su Anran, who was almost unconscious.
"call out--"
There was a sharp tearing sound in the air, like the sound of cloth being torn apart.
In the past month, Su Anran has been almost frightened by this kind of sound.
So as soon as the sound of breaking through the air came, he waved the butcher without hesitation and slashed towards the place where the sound of breaking through the air came from.
"I have said before that the biggest characteristic of invisible sword energy is that it is intangible and has no quality. You cannot catch it with the naked eye."
"Pfft——"
A blood flower spattered from the back of Su Anran's right hand.
The invisible sword energy directly penetrated his right hand, and the intense pain even made him unable to hold the butcher's sword hilt anymore, and the heavy sword suddenly fell to the ground.
"You should use your spiritual perception."
"Pfft——"
Su Anran only felt severe pain in her left shoulder.
He knew without looking that his left shoulder was also penetrated by invisible sword energy.
"Are you a fool? I've already said that you should use your spiritual consciousness to capture it. In the monastic world, judging things is not just about looking at things with your eyes. When your eyes can't capture it, you have to use your spiritual consciousness.
.As long as you don’t fall into a place where your perception is completely blinded, even if it is distorted, it still has certain reference and reference properties.”
Ye Jinxuan's voice remained the same.
But Su Anran could only smile bitterly.
His spiritual perception was always covered, but the Fourth Senior Sister's invisible sword was extremely fast. Almost as soon as he sensed it, he had already been hit, and it was impossible to deal with it, let alone resist it.
unless……
Su Anran frowned.
It's not like he has masochistic tendencies, so in the past month, he still came up with several ways to deal with it, but most of them failed at the beginning. At the moment, there is only one method he has not tried yet, and that is
It is to slow down the movement speed of the invisible sword energy - and the problem lies in the key point of how to slow down the speed of the invisible sword energy, because Su Anran has not yet mastered the method of using spiritual consciousness to defend.
"Wow." A sudden exclamation interrupted Ye Jinxuan and Su Anran's special training.
The two of them turned their heads and looked around, and saw four people standing outside the courtyard gate.
Huang Zi, Fang Qianwen, Miss Medicine God, and another girl Su Anran had never seen before.
It was this girl who spoke just now.
This is a woman who is only 1.59 meters tall, with a cute baby face that is very consistent with her height. Of course, if she did not have the best and most impressive peaks in the game, Su Anran would definitely think that she is a minor.
little child.
"What are you looking at?" She looked like a little girl, but she spoke in an old-fashioned way, "Have you ever seen someone as cute as me?"
Su Anran's cheeks twitched.
However, this action obviously involved the wound on his face, so much so that he grinned in pain.
"This is your seventh senior sister." Fang Qianwen hurriedly stepped forward to apply the medicine to Su Anran, and at the same time explained, "Xu Xinhui."
"Qisijie (Seventh Senior Sister)..."
"Stop talking, I really have goosebumps all over when I see you like this." The seventh senior sister Xu Xinhui shivered a few times as if she couldn't bear the cold, and then there was a spectacular scene like the waves surging, "I say the fourth senior sister, you
Even if you want to make your junior brother’s spiritual consciousness more concentrated and his mental power more concentrated, there is no need to do something so shady.”
"What do you know?" Ye Jinxuan glanced sideways at Xu Xinhui.
"Hey, you say I don't understand? Believe it or not, I'll jump up and hit you with a hammer! Then your chest will not only be flat, but will be sunken directly!"
"Dwarf winter melon." Ye Jinxuan said coldly, "Do you believe that you just jumped up and I can let you experience the feeling of flying into the sky without using magic weapons?"
"Hey, mom, I have such a bad temper, how can I... believe it?" Xu Xinhui flattened her lips, with a look of aggrievement on her face, "You are powerful, you can beat me, I won't tell you."
Xu Xinhui turned her head angrily, walked up to Su Anran, and then raised her head and glanced at her junior brother.
Then after thinking about it, she reached out and waved to Su Anran, "Squat down."
Su Anran squatted down obediently.
"This is a meeting gift from Senior Sister." Xu Xinhui raised her right hand, and something like a shuttle appeared on the palm of her hand. "This is a spiritual shuttle. It was built with some leftover materials when things were fine. Two years later.
It’s the opening of Tianyuan Secret Realm. Even if you can’t defeat others, you can at least run away.”
Miss Medicine God glanced at Huang Zi, and for some reason, she felt a little excited in her heart. Oh, it was a large rollover scene.
"Tianyuan Secret Realm?" Su Anran looked confused.
"Yes, Tianyuan Secret Realm." Xu Xinhui nodded, and then looked at Su Anran's blank look that didn't seem to be fake, she blinked again, "Don't know?"
Su Anran shook his head.
Xu Xinhui raised her head and glanced at Fang Qianwen, who immediately turned her head and did not look at Xu Xinhui at all.
Then she glanced at Ye Jinxuan, who also had a dull face - but in Xu Xinhui's opinion, her fourth senior sister had no expression most of the time.
So, she turned to look at Huang Zi and Miss Yaoshen again.
Huang Zi's face was as dark as the bottom of a casserole.
"Ah haha, it's nothing." Xu Xinhui laughed a few times, "Just pretend that senior sister didn't say anything."
No matter how stupid Su Anran is, she still knows what's going on.
