The morning light was faint, and the sea of clouds was rolling, as if something huge was stirring in the clouds, causing the clouds and mist to boil.
But all this is just a change in the senses and vision.
Sword cultivators who are in the secret realm of the Sword-washing Pond, the Tiangang Pond, all know that this secret realm is modeled on the topographic pattern of the celestial celestial body, so only the Sword-Xining Pond can be divided into Tiangang, Earthly Demons, and Stars. And the theory of Liangyi and mortal world.
, it's not very clear - of course, for today's sword cultivators, there is no need to pursue it in depth.
In a mountainous forest, a man in gray clothes was walking back and forth anxiously.
Not far around him, there were about thirty men and women standing or sitting. Although they seemed to be taking a breather and taking a nap, there were also a few quiet conversations, but in fact almost everyone's attention was focused on this man in gray.
on men.
However, due to the status of the man in gray, these men and women did not dare to come forward and ask.
However, that's not all.
A man in green clothes stood up from the crowd and walked towards the man in gray clothes.
"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" The man in gray said, although his voice was not loud, but it was not concealed at all, which naturally attracted the attention of everyone around him, "We have discovered two 'Spirit Buds', separated by
It's not far away, and we can form a formation to protect it with our own hands, but why are you still frowning?...Shouldn't we be happy?"
On the ground not far in front of the man in gray, there was a small bump on the ground, revealing a small stone tip.
The tip of this stone is smooth and flat, and when you touch it with your hands, it feels as cold and smooth as touching the ice surface, and there is a faint aura emanating from it.
When this group of sword cultivators first met, this stone tip had just popped up. If you didn't look closely, you would have been ignored in the forest. Afterwards, everyone took a rest here, but in just a quarter of an hour, the stone tip was already there.
After it was lifted up by an inch, everyone knew that it must be a "spiritual bud".
The so-called "spiritual buds" are just a joke of the predecessors who were lucky enough to enter the sword-washing pool, because judging the spiritual energy nodes in various areas relies on the "sword pillar" to make judgments - usually the spiritual energy nodes will only be born about ten times around the sword pillar.
Within a meter range, as long as a sword pillar is found, there must be a spiritual energy node nearby for sword practitioners to practice flying swords. The emergence of the sword pillar is like this, gradually protruding from the ground, like a bud growing,
That’s why it was nicknamed “Spirit Bud” by predecessors.
This group of sword cultivators has occupied two "spiritual buds", which means that as long as they can hold on, they will already have two of the thirty-six spiritual energy nodes in Tiangang Pool in their hands. This is indeed like a man in green.
It is a matter of joy.
As for whether it can be defended?
No one present doubted this idea.
After all, they also came from the Beihai Sword Sect, one of the four major sword cultivating holy places. Although they can only be ranked at the bottom of the four major sword cultivating holy places, they are far better than the Thirty-six Sects and the Seventy-two Sects. Of course, they are the most popular.
The important thing is that they are not like Ziyun Sword Pavilion and Tianxuan Sect who are prone to overturning, because now there are three of them in this group who are the geniuses of swordsmanship cultivated by Beihai Sword Sect for hundreds of years.
Entering the secret realm of the Sword Washing Pond this time, the other disciples from the same sect came to protect these three people. For these disciples, although they were not able to practice in the Sword Washing Pond, going out this time could not only increase their experience and knowledge, but also increase their experience and knowledge.
There are sect points and other benefits to be gained, so naturally they will not be unwilling to accept the arrangement of the trip. Why did they have poor performance in the sect before?
In addition, the person leading the team from the sect this time is one of their senior brothers who is in the soul-condensing realm.
For those who have condensed the Dharma, their natal flying sword has naturally condensed with the Dharma. Therefore, the gain from practicing in the Sword Washing Pond is not much, or even close to nothing. Therefore, there has always been no condensed soul in the Sword Washing Pond.
The sword cultivator of the Realm Transformation Phase enters.
But it does not mean that monks above the soul-condensing stage cannot enter the sword-washing pool.
This is just a subconscious tacit understanding among many kendo sects in the Xuan Realm. After all, the monks in the soul-condensing realm are also very busy. They come here to do nothing during this time, to understand the world and the world that need to be transformed in the future.
Is the foundation not good?
But what kind of sect is Beihai Sword Sect?
It is obviously a holy land for sword cultivation, but it has been doing business like a businessman chasing profits. If it were not for the previous fallout with the Demon Alliance due to the secret realm of the Dragon Palace ruins, and the geographical location is very important, it has received the full support of many human sects in the Xuan Realm.
, they had long been annexed by the Beizhou Demon League.
Therefore, it is really difficult to expect this sect to abide by the rules.
Of course, they still want to save face.
Therefore, the Beihai Sword Sect sent a person with the worst reputation known to everyone in the Xuan world. If anything happens in the future, we can blame him. Anyway, we, the Beihai Sword Sect, don’t know anything. This should be the case.
The disciple who went to Xijianchi for training the first time was hired privately. What does it have to do with our Beihai Sword Sect?
And this disciple of the Beihai Sword Sect, who has a very bad reputation from the outside world, is none other than Zhu Yuan.
The sect elder personally explained it. Before Zhu Yuan had time to say no, his system was more eager than him and directly formed a punishing task. Can he refuse?
Zhu Yuan said in his heart that he was also very distressed.
It's just that this kind of suffering cannot be explained to outsiders.
The man in gray who was addressed as senior by the man in green was none other than Zhu Yuan.
In name, he will naturally not be the leader of this team, but the man in green in front of him.
Huangfu Song.
He is the winner of the Beihai Sword Sect's natal competition. He majors in "Tianqing Sword Formation" - this is one of the five most unique sword formations of Beihai Sword Sect, but it is different from Zhu Yuan's "Youyu Yin".
The "Scale Sword Formation" is the last of the five great sword formations. The situation is different. The "Tianqing Sword Formation" is the second-ranked sword formation among the five great sword formations, second only to the "Four Ultimate Sword Formations".
The Beihai Sword Sect generally does not grant its disciples the "Four Ultimate Sword Formations", "Heaven-Qing Sword Formation", "Earth-Covering Sword Formation" and other three secret sword formations easily, because these three are extremely powerful and can cause serious injuries after being used.
Tianhe, if he becomes obsessed with the power of the sword formation, he will easily go on an evil path. Therefore, if he wants to learn these three sword formations, he not only needs to be recognized by the sect for his qualifications, but also needs to go through a series of observations and screenings.
, until the character of mind is confirmed.
The fact that Huangfu Song was granted the qualification to learn the "Tian Qing Sword Formation" proves that the Beihai Sword Sect attaches more importance to him than Han Buyang could.
If there are no accidents, he should be the spokesperson promoted by Beihai Sword Sect in the next five hundred years.
Therefore, even though Zhu Yuan's cultivation level was much higher than his, his attitude towards him was quite polite. This was the reason why Huangfu Song dared to come up and ask.
"Senior brother, I don't know either." Zhu Yuan shook his head, "But my eyebrows are swollen and my heart is anxious."
"Are your eyebrows swollen?" Huangfu Song looked at this senior brother with a very bad reputation with a strange expression.
Zhu Yuan's reputation is not only extremely bad in the Beihai Sword Sect, but also in the Xuan Realm. Almost everyone feels that this late-blooming Beihai Sword Sect disciple is a sinister villain who does unscrupulous means. But in fact,
People who really have contact with Zhu Yuan don't think so. Although Zhu Yuan sometimes does things that are really stupid, he actually has a very careful side, and he treats his fellow disciples, or those who experience and perform tasks together, very seriously.
Very caring.
In Huangfusong's view, Senior Brother Zhu Yuan is simply a person who doesn't know how to adapt, and is a bit stubborn.
Sometimes, the sect would ask Zhu Yuan to go somewhere to seize something.
In fact, what the sect wanted was just this item. As for the method used to get it back, the sect didn't care. But Zhu Yuan really "seized" the item directly from the opponent's hand.
Because of this, Zhu Yuan's reputation is extremely poor, because sometimes the other party doesn't particularly care about the item and can obtain it through negotiation, and does not necessarily have to take it by force.
But Zhu Yuan must take it from the opponent's hands just because the sect said the word "seize".
Every time Huangfusong saw something like this happen, he felt quite speechless.
So in his opinion, his senior brother is very strict in doing things, and he is not like the kind of person who can say strange things - because his eyebrows are swollen and his heart is anxious, these are very typical characteristics of whim, and he is still biased towards disaster.
That kind of.
"Senior brother, maybe you are too tired."
"Impossible." Zhu Yuan shook his head, "I know what you are thinking. Senior brother, I am not that kind of pedantic and rigid person who doesn't know how to adapt. Besides, my generation of monks are going against the will of nature, so I will be able to react on a whim.
It's normal, how could I ignore this."
Huangfusong thought about it and felt that his senior brother's words were reasonable.
Even if their swordsmen don't believe in fate, they usually don't really ignore this characteristic reaction to whims.
"In my opinion, senior brother... it has something to do with this 'spiritual bud'?"
"Alas." Zhu Yuan sighed heavily, "I just don't know, so I'm uneasy."
He turned around and looked at the stone pillar that had been raised an inch higher in just a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "This battle for the secret realm of the Sword Washing Pond is more intense than what I have heard before. In the past, the Hidden Sword Pavilion was not
People will be arranged to enter the sword washing pool. After all, they have their own internal digestion quota; and Lingjian Villa is a sect that focuses on sword energy methods and is not very dependent on the flying sword itself, so it often rarely participates.
.”
The Sword Washing Pond is a private secret realm controlled by the Hidden Sword Pavilion, and its value is very clear to all sword cultivators in the Xuan Realm.
Although this external declaration will only be opened once every two to three hundred years, in fact, all the sects in the Xuanjie also know that the so-called opening of the Hidden Sword Pavilion is a natural opening without external force. But in fact, if the Hidden Sword Pavilion is
If they are willing, they can also open the sword washing pool in advance through some special methods so that their disciples can enter it to practice flying swords.
In fact, Hidden Sword Pavilion has always done this.
However, it is only opened once every fifty years, so the internal sect competition in Hidden Sword Pavilion has always been very fierce, because the winning ranking determines whether they can enter the Sword Washing Pool, and which Sword Washing Pool they can enter.
The area is used to refine the flying sword.
This is also the reason why every time the secret realm of Sword Washing Pond is opened, only a few disciples of Hidden Sword Pavilion will enter.
"But this time not only Hidden Sword Pavilion sent a large number of people to enter, Lingjian Villa also came to join in the fun, and even Tianxuan, Ziyun, Youyun and other three sects also came. On the contrary, not a single disciple of Sancai Sword Pavilion was seen. It should be noted that in the past,
When the secret realm of Sword Pool is opened, only the Earth Sword lineage of Sancai Sword Pavilion and members of Yujian Sect will come."
Although Tianxuanmen, Ziyun Sword Pavilion, and Youyun Villa all have dabbles in sword control, they are not based on this.
Unlike the Sword Controlling Sect, which is named after "Sword Controlling", nor is it like the branch of the Earth Line in Sancai Sword Pavilion, which uses sword control as its main training method.
"What do you think, senior brother?" Huangfu Song said.
"I'm afraid it has something to do with the guy from Taiyi Valley." Zhu Yuan sighed softly, "Ever since the incident in Nanzhou, Su Anran has been rumored to have sword energy that can lead to the gods. Everyone who sees it praises him. We sword cultivators are all high-minded.
Arrogant people, especially those headed by Lingjian Villa
They have worked hard for thousands of years, but they still make people think that the sword energy is just a path of swordsmanship. However, after the incident in Nanzhou, the sword energy was faintly transcendent, even surpassing the sword control skills, so Su Anran and others
If you offend both parties at the same time."
Sword cultivators despise Lian Li and have always believed that swordsmanship is higher than sword skills. After all, the former is a set of self-contained sword cultivating methods, while the latter is just one or two unique kendo martial arts. And sword skills are higher.
As for sword control, after all, in the eyes of a swordsman who specializes in sword skills, no matter how exquisite your sword control is, I can break it with one sword. Even if you step into the attack range of my sword skills, I will kill you.
It's as easy as flipping a finger.
In fact, if it weren't for the rise of Wanjian Tower, in the eyes of the mainstream sword cultivators in the Xuan Realm, sword skills would be far superior to swordsmanship.
But after the rise of Wanshilou, it was said that swordsmanship is superior to swordsmanship.
The specific thing involved is that sword skills are born out of sword tactics, and sword tactics can only be called sword skills after they are formed. Therefore, there is a more mainstream view: a set of sword tactics can be formed by supplementing and perfecting sword skills, with sword tactics as the basis.
By creating a foundation and supporting cultivation methods and general outline, a complete sword training method can be achieved.
This is also the reason why from the mainstream swordsmanship perspective, the power of swordsmanship must be stronger than sword skills alone.
Especially in the past five hundred years, after the emergence of Tang Shiyun and Ye Jinxuan, mainstream swordsmen almost believed in this view.
Because Tang Shiyun majored in swordsmanship and Ye Jinxuan majored in swordsmanship, and Tang Shiyun was stronger than Ye Jinxuan, so swordsmanship was stronger than swordsmanship.
Regardless of whether they are swordsmen who major in swordsmanship, sword skills, or even sword control, they all despise sword energy.
It is believed that the power of sword energy is small, it is difficult to achieve elegance, and those who study this way will achieve very little.
Therefore, regardless of whether sword energy is tangible or invisible, in the eyes of other sword cultivators, it can only be practiced as a minor and not as a major.
Even though the Beihai Sword Sect practices sword formation, they still focus on sword control or sword skills, supplemented by sword energy.
The reason why Lingjian Villa can become one of the four major sword cultivation holy places is that many "Qi Zong Sword Cultivators" who major in sword energy have high hopes for it. And they are able to overwhelm the Beihai Sword Sect purely because of the Beihai Sword Clan.
If the sect does not engage in human affairs, it would be like a businessman. Otherwise, it would be difficult to tell who is the last among the four great sword cultivators in the Holy Land.
But since the Nanzhou Demon Rebellion, Su Anran has become famous for his ability to use sword energy to reach the gods, which naturally makes many people dissatisfied.
Lingjian Villa just thinks: I have worked hard and diligently for thousands of years, why can't I change the impression of the Xuanjie monks? How can you, Su Anran, be so virtuous and capable?
The sword-controlling school thinks: Although we, the sword-controlling school, have always been despised by the swordsmanship and swordsmanship schools, you actually want to get on top of me with just swordsmanship? What a dream!
So this time I heard that Su Anran would also come to wash the sword pool, and he happened to meet the competition conditions for the next five hundred years of luck rotation, so naturally there will be people who want to come for a while, or who want to become famous by stepping on Su Anran.
Maybe Lingjian Villa can really stop there, after all, they were taken care of by Taiyigu this time in Nanzhou.
Others, however, may not be so polite.
"I heard, senior brother, that you once had a relationship with this person."
Zhu Yuan nodded and said, "We did have a chance encounter."
Huangfu Song's face clearly showed excitement: "Brother, what kind of person is this? Please tell me quickly."
"This man..." Zhu Yuan's face was a little complicated, "He has a eloquent mouth. In my opinion, his speaking skills are better than his swordsmanship. And..."
As if he thought of something, Zhu Yuan's face instantly turned ugly.
"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" Huangfu Song was startled.
"The center of my eyebrow... doesn't hurt anymore."
"Isn't that a good thing?" Huangfu Song was stunned and didn't understand why the senior brother who was so worried before suddenly looked ugly again.
"What a good thing! This is a bad thing! What a huge bad thing!" Zhu Yuan was anxious, "I mentioned Su An many times just now, and then the swelling and pain between my eyebrows stopped, so my sudden warning must be the same as Su Anran is related to this son!... No, I can't see him, otherwise I will definitely be involved in trouble. I have to leave first! Yes! Leave here first, and then..."
"Senior Brother Zhu!" A voice full of surprise and enthusiasm suddenly sounded, "I didn't expect to see you here! It's so great!"
The moment he heard this, Zhu Yuan's body suddenly stiffened.
Then he turned his head slowly with a pale face and looked at the young man who was holding the sword down.
Although the other party smiled brightly, for some reason, in Zhu Yuan's eyes, he looked particularly ferocious and terrifying. An inexplicable aura of terror suddenly fell, so much so that he didn't even dare to breathe.
The person whose sword fell was none other than Su Anran, who had been searching for Zhu Yuan before.
The two people following Su Anran were Nayue and Helianwei, who looked helpless.
Nai Yue rarely showed up, so it was normal for the disciples of the Beihai Sword Sect not to know his identity. However, He Lianwei was the well-known brand of Wan Jian Tower, so his identity was naturally recognized immediately. And Cong He If Lian Wei's identity is scrutinized, then even if no one knows who she is, Niyue at least already knows her identity.
Zhu Yuan watched Su Anran and two Wanjianlou disciples fall in front of him. At this moment, he had only one thought: I'm finished.
