Among the four major sword cultivation holy places in Xuanjie, Hidden Sword Pavilion and Wanjian Tower have always been competing for the top position.
The two families can be regarded as winners and losers.
To put it bluntly, in fact, both families have some connection with the sword sect of the past.
Wan Jian Lou took over the Sword Sect's Secret Sword Code and used it to create a variety of sword techniques, which can be regarded as the pinnacle of "skills".
The Hidden Sword Pavilion acquired the Jianbing Pavilion of the Sword Sect—which is now the Sword Tomb—and the Sword Washing Pool, and became the leader in the art of "vessels".
In fact, it was impossible for the two families to live in such harmony in the early years. They both wanted to devour the other and completely monopolize all the benefits of the Sword Sect. However, the two sides have been going back and forth for so many years, and there is victory and defeat for each other. No one can do anything to the other.
, on the contrary, it was for nothing that the Beihai Sword Sect and Lingjian Villa were allowed to grow and become the "Four Great Sword Cultivating Holy Lands in the Mysterious Realm", so they put aside their conflicts for the time being to avoid the birth of the "fifth Sword Cultivating Holy Land".
There are only so many kendo resources, and even sharing them between two companies is not enough. The allocation between four companies is close to the limit, so naturally no one wants a fifth company to appear.
But on the surface they live in harmony with each other, but privately they fight each other until their wits come out.
It’s just that in the past thousand years, the Wanjianlou family has become the leader of this swordsmanship, so it has shown the temperament of a big brother - your Hidden Sword Pavilion does not want us Wanjianlou disciples to go to your sword washing pool, and we Wanjianlou also
It doesn't matter. But when our Wanjian Tower's Sword Testing Tower opens, we will still send you an invitation to the Hidden Sword Pavilion. You can come or not as you like.
This kind of contemptuous attitude naturally makes Zangjian Pavilion itchy with hatred.
It's a pity that there is nothing the Cangjian Pavilion can do - it used to be able to suppress Wanjianlou with the "Famous Sword", but as Wanjianlou learned more sword skills from the "Sword Code", the Cangjian Pavilion's exquisiteness
The "sword's power" concept of "the unity of man and sword" naturally gradually becomes inferior to the Wanjian Tower where "man can conquer nature".
But this kind of ideological battle cannot be decided just by this moment.
Like the Hidden Sword Pavilion, relying on the ancestors' insights from the famous swords of the Sword Tomb can indeed help sword cultivators avoid taking many wrong paths and detours, and can reach a higher realm faster. But is this method of cultivation a "man controlling the sword" or not?
It’s really hard to say “sword controls people”, and the biggest problem besides this is the lack of flexibility and spirituality.
Wanjianlou is just the opposite.
With the insights gained from the "Sword Code", they can understand and create more swordsmanship and swordsmanship. However, because these created swordsmanship and swordsmanship are too many, they are not lacking in spirituality and can create more swordsmanship and swordsmanship.
But it is no different from asking for directions. Naturally, you will have to take many detours and wrong paths, and you may even waste your life because of it. But if you have a complete enlightenment one day, it will be a broad road.
Therefore, whether it is Hidden Sword Pavilion or Wanjian Tower, there are advantages and disadvantages to each other. It is difficult to say whether they are superior or inferior.
But if there is one place where the Hidden Sword Pavilion has more advantages, it has to be the Sword Washing Pond.
The Sword Washing Pond is said to be a pond, but in fact it is a remnant realm.
After the Sword Sect was destroyed overnight, the secret realm and resources that were exclusive to the Sword Sect were naturally missing.
It is not that some have not been excavated over the past thousands of years: such as the Sword Testing Tower in Wanjian Tower, the Sword Tomb and Sword Washing Pool in Hidden Sword Pavilion, the Sword Mind State in Linlang Pavilion, etc., and there are also some that have collected one or two articles.
Tombs and other places of swordsmanship and swordsmanship.
All swordsmanship sects that have risen in the past thousand years can be considered to have received some favors from the swordsmanship, and it is not unreasonable to call themselves the successors of the swordsmanship.
Back to business.
For the sword cultivators, the sword washing pool in the Hidden Sword Pavilion is not as valuable as observing the sword canon of Wanjian Tower - it is to observe the sword canon, not to enter the sword trial building. For the sword cultivators, entering the sword trial building is
It's just a test of one's own sword skills. If you can't use the Sword Testing Tower to view the sword canon, then the value of the Sword Testing Tower is actually not that great. It can even be said that it is far less valuable than entering the Sword Hidden Pavilion once.
Jianchi.
After all, the greatest value of the sword washing pool is that it allows swordsmen in the natal realm to improve the quality of their natal flying swords without damaging their own natal flying swords.
This kind of opportunity is very rare - after all, the sword washing pool is only opened once every two to three hundred years.
Of course, the rare thing is not only that the opening time of the Sword Washing Pool is long, but also because the tempering of the Sword Washing Pool also requires competition.
The entire sword-washing pool is divided into five large parts.
They are Fanchen Pond, Xingchen Pond, Disha Pond, Tiangang Pond and Liangyi Pond, which are progressive in a ring. The closer to the inner ring, the stronger the texture and the better the separation effect. But on the contrary, there are naturally fewer nodes.
, the competition will be greater.
For example, Fanchen Pond, also known as Miscellaneous Pond, White Pond, and Worry Pond, is said to have more than 100,000 spiritual energy nodes. In the Sword Washing Pond, if you want to separate the essence of the material and fuse it with the flying sword, you don't just find one at random.
You can just wait somewhere, but you need to find this kind of special aura node. The aura node of Fanchen Pool can only separate at most 30% of the characteristics of the material itself, and most nodes can only separate 10% or 20%.
So naturally it is not popular.
The star pool further up has a total of more than 360 aura nodes, which alludes to the number of stars in the sky. Up to 50% of the characteristics of the material itself can be separated. It is the main battlefield where the competition among monks in the destiny realm is fiercest.
Disha Pond and Tiangang Pond, as their names suggest, have seventy-two and thirty-six aura nodes respectively, which can separate up to 70% and 90% of the characteristics of the material. However, these two pools are basically the main source of competition among monks in the Soul Condensation Realm.
On the battlefield, especially Tiangang Pond, the level of fighting was extremely brutal.
Going one step further is Liangyi Pond.
This pool has only eighteen aura nodes, in black and white colors of yin and yang. Not only can the characteristics of the material be completely separated, it may even be contaminated with special habits such as the power of yin and yang, the power of life and death during the quenching and fusion process.
.Even some materials that are in opposition to each other can only be completely separated and fused in the Liangyi Pool. If the first four pools are used, it is likely to cause the material to break, and even affect the monk's natal flying sword.
.
Of course, the sword washing pool will not damage the monk's flying sword, but if the monk insists on committing suicide, then it is no wonder that the sword washing pool is used.
But Liangyi Pond, also known as the Inner Abyss, is the most dangerous place in the entire Sword Washing Pond.
It is said that there is a demon inside Liangyi Pond.
They are not belonging to heavenly demons or earthly demons, but formless and formless inner demons.
Therefore, those who are not strong-willed and tenacious will not easily enter the abyss. Even if they know that the efficacy of Liangyi Pond is far greater than the previous four ponds, if they are not forced to a dead end, the efficacy of Tiangang Pond to separate 90% of the material properties will be enough.
Enough.
Huang Zi warned Su Anran that she must not enter the inner realm of the abyss, which is Liangyi Pond.
With Su Anran's strength, it is definitely more than enough to seize a node of Tiangang Pool.
But this time is different from the past. The top combat forces in Taiyi Valley have all left the valley, so Su Anran can only go to Hidden Sword Pavilion alone.
But Su Anran also knows that this is the only way to go.
His senior sisters had protected him for ten years, from the Divine Sea Realm to the current Soul Condensing Realm. It was time to let go and let him take the next step on his own.
On a sunny morning, Su Anran left Taiyi Valley alone.
…
In the valley, Lin Yiyi looked at Su Anran's leaving figure and curled her lips: "What a heartless person. He didn't even say hello to us when he left."
Xu Xinhui didn't take it seriously: "It seems like you greet us every time you leave."
"That's different." Lin Yiyi's voice was a little higher, "If I don't take the opportunity to run away, can Senior Sister let me go?"
"Now that Senior Sister is gone, why don't you leave?" Xu Xinhui argued.
"Isn't that the old man here?" Lin Yiyi looked depressed.
It has been more than a year since she returned to Taiyi Valley. In addition to helping with sewing and repairing the mountain guard formation in Taiyi Valley, and taking care of the situation at Lao Jiu, she usually has nothing to do, so she is inevitably thinking about something.
Li Gu went out to blackmail. Logically speaking, if Lin Yiyi wanted to leave, there really wouldn't be a few big formations that could trap her, but as soon as she left, Huang Zi caught her back.
Lin Yiyi knew that Huang Zi, an old man, would definitely not let her go, so she simply stopped Li Gu's thoughts.
"Junior brother is right not to say hello to us." Wei Ying glanced at the two people in the argument, and then said slowly, "Master and junior brother didn't say it clearly, but this time it was obviously a disaster for junior brother.
We don't have much support for our junior fellow apprentice, so instead of telling us and then causing our disciples more troubles, it's better for him to bear it himself, which is also a kind of experience for our junior junior fellow apprentice."
At the end, Wei Ying added: "Don't forget how the other senior sisters got out."
After being silent for a while, Lin Yiyi curled her lips again: "I just complained that he didn't even say hello to us. It made me seem like a sinner."
"Do I need to deliberately come to you to talk about this kind of thing?" Wei Ying raised her eyebrows, "The opening date of the Sword Washing Pond has been made very clear. Junior brother must arrive at the Tibetan Sword Pavilion in Xizhou before the opening.
Just calculate the date and you'll know...according to me, I should have left yesterday, but ended up staying in the valley for one more day, just to spend one more day talking to a fool like you."
Lin Yiyi looked at Wei Ying angrily, but after seeing the little red on Wei Ying's shoulder, she shut up rationally.
Among the nine Taiyi girls (Lin Yiyi calls herself), she is the most resourceful, but the sky is also the fairest. It has given her enough intelligence, so naturally it will not give her too much force. So if you can know something in advance
If prepared, Lin Yiyi believed that she could even beat the other eight...seven people by herself - the senior sister was not included - but with no time to prepare like this, Lin Yiyi felt that she was too resourceful to bother with these people.
Idiots care.
Wei Ying had some understanding of the temperament of this idiot, so she didn't bother to talk to her anymore. She just glanced at Su Anran's back again, who was already drifting away. She twitched the corner of her mouth, showed a smile, and thought silently in her heart.
After saying "peace", he turned around and left.
Her current cultivation level is not much better than Su Anran's, but she believes that it won't be long before she can condense the Dharma form, and then cross the transformation stage in one fell swoop and achieve the Suppression Stage. After all, she took advantage of this time to recuperate and take care of the beast.
I have the opportunity to achieve a mental connection with the "Four Saints". After the injuries of these four beasts are completely healed, I can make a preliminary attempt to merge and transform.
With Wei Ying leaving, Xu Xinhui and Lin Yiyi had nothing in common to talk about. After all, their research fields were different, so they quickly dispersed.
For a time, Taiyi Valley returned to its former tranquility.
However, this does not include the small courtyard where Huang Zi lives.
The God of Medicine looked at Huang Zi solemnly, and his tone was cold and full of dissatisfaction: "You just left Qianwen in the Oriental Family?"
"I have made arrangements. The Dongfang family does not dare to retaliate." Huang Zi looked at his nominal senior sister with some tiredness, "Qianwen has grown up, and the other disciples in the valley have also gradually grown up.
I can no longer protect you like I used to."
"What do you mean?!" Medicine God's pretty face turned cold.
"Do you know what Xiaoyu said to me?"
The medicine god didn't answer.
"She said that the time has come." Huang Zi exhaled, "Before leaving this time, I also asked Qianwen, and she said that she still had something to resolve, so she didn't plan to come back with me for the time being... You
When had she ever said this to me? So when I heard Xiaoyu, who had become a rule, say that the time has come, I understood that it was time to let them go their own way."
"The time...has it really come?"
"Yes." Huang Zi nodded, "This game of chess should actually have started a long time ago, but I just delayed it for five hundred years."
"Why?"
"Five hundred years ago, if I had made a mistake, I would have lost. If I had made a mistake three hundred years ago, I would have lost a lot. If I had made a mistake a hundred years ago, it would have only been five or five." Huang Zi sighed softly, "But now it is no longer possible.
When I make a move, I have a good chance of winning... The right way is to make a move without regrets, so when to make a move and where the first move should be, you need to be very careful."
The Medicine God looked at Huang Zi silently, but his eyes became increasingly unkind.
Five hundred years ago, Huang Zi accepted Fang Qianwen as his disciple.
Three hundred years ago, there were Shangguan Xin, Tang Shiyun, Ye Jinxuan, Wang Yuanji and Wei Ying in Taiyi Valley.
A hundred years ago, Taiyi Valley added Xu Xinhui, Lin Yiyi, and Song Nana.
"I didn't expect you to be such a person."
"You don't understand." Huang Zi shook his head, "Secrets cannot be revealed lightly...how do you know that you and I are not chess pieces?"
The Medicine God remained silent.
After a while, Huang Zicai sighed: "Don't worry, even if I die, these evil disciples of mine will not die either... I didn't bring Qianwen back this time, just because Qianwen rarely found something she likes to do.
It’s something I want to do, so I’ve made arrangements so that if there is any trouble, someone will protect her and keep her safe.”
After thinking for a while, Huang Zi added in his mind: "...Probably. Qing Jue still has some sense of propriety in doing things."
…
On the other side, after leaving Taiyi Valley, Su Anran is now quite experienced in traveling.
He went all the way to the west, passing through the teleportation formations of several sects. It took him less than a week to reach the seaport in the far west of Zhongzhou, and then took a spiritual boat out to sea.
Along the way, the further west he travels, the easier it is for him to see sword cultivators.
Because the Sword Washing Pond is a secret realm that only monks below the Earthly Immortal Realm can enter, he did not see any sword cultivators above the Earthly Immortal Realm or even the Sword Cultivators at the Suppressing Realm level along the way. After all, he did not see any sword cultivators at the Suppressing Realm level.
The monks have mastered the abilities of the field, and the natal flying sword has been combined with the law to form the Dinghai Shenhai that suppresses the field. It is waiting to become the cornerstone of the small world. If you think about improving the quality of the natal flying sword,
It's somewhat too late.
Therefore, according to past rules, monks in the Soul Condensing Realm Suppression Stage will basically not enter the secret realm of the Sword Washing Pond.
But it does not include people who have other ideas.
Su Anran already knew the dangers of this trip, so his imaginary enemies were naturally these sword cultivators.
It's a pity that this trip took less than a month to complete, but Su Anran didn't see any monks at the Soul Condensing Realm Suppression Stage. Instead, he saw a few sword energy rushers.
Sword cultivation in the phase of transformation.
Even Shi Lezhi's comments on these people were mostly praising them, which made Su Anran realize that the spiritual energy nodes in Tiangang Pool were not easy to grab.
But in the blink of an eye, Su Anran became more motivated again.
This time, after all, is his second time traveling out of the valley alone after the secret realm of the Illusion Divine Sea - it can even be said that it is the first time he goes out alone in the true sense, because the last time he participated in the experience of the Illusion Divine Sea, he was in the Illusion Divine Sea.
We went there together under the protection of the Great Sun Tathagata Sect.
That's why Su Anran's mood became even more excited this time.
"I hope this time goes well, and don't destroy the sword washing pool again."
