The black sword stele stands between heaven and earth, exuding an extremely powerful momentum that suppresses the atmosphere of heaven and earth.
Ji Tianxing saw that the black sword monument was covered with traces of wind, frost and time etching, making it look very ancient.
I don’t know how long this sword stele has gone through. It seems to have existed as long as heaven and earth and has existed forever.
He looked up at the sword stele thousands of feet high and saw four large mottled characters engraved on it.
Each word has complex strokes and appears vigorous and powerful, as if it contains an unparalleled sword intent that is about to come out from the monument and tear the sky apart.
Ji Tianxing only took a few more glances before he was suppressed by the sword intent contained in the four characters, and he felt deep awe in his heart.
Those four characters were very mysterious and ancient. They were not from this era at all. He had never seen them before.
But strangely, a vague feeling came into his mind and he recognized those four words.
Tomb of the Sword God!
"The Tomb of the Sword God? Is this a cemetery?"
Ji Tianxing was confused and thought to himself: "No wonder it looks so desolate and gray, and full of the aura of death."
"However, I have only heard of some strong men calling themselves sword masters. The number one swordsman in Qingyun Kingdom only dares to call himself a sword master."
"Someone is actually called the Sword God? Then what level of strength is he?"
Ji Tianxing couldn't figure out what level of strength the Sword God was called.
But he could guess that the Sword God's tomb was so majestic, and he must have been a top powerhouse beyond his imagination during his lifetime!
He retracted his gaze from looking up at the sword monument and continued to drift towards the sword monument.
After a while, he came to the bottom of the sword monument and looked at the surrounding wasteland.
I saw more than a dozen black tombstones standing in a row on the wasteland to the left and right of the sword monument.
Ji Tianxing counted the tombstones and found that there were eighteen tombstones in total, nine on each side.
He walked to the row of tombstones on the left and found ancient words engraved on each tombstone.
Some tablets have more words, as many as hundreds.
Some tablets have less text, only one or two sentences or more than 20 words.
To Ji Tianxing, these ancient and mysterious words should be unfamiliar.
But he stared at the first tombstone for a while, and a hazy feeling came into his mind, and he actually recognized those complicated and obscure words.
Looking at those ancient words, he couldn't help but read silently in his heart.
"The first level of swordsmanship, the heart of the sword."
"The so-called sword heart is to temper the sword body and condense the sword heart. This is the ultimate way, which can reach the state where there is no sword in the hand and the sword is in the heart..."
Seeing this, Ji Tianxing couldn't help but stop, his heart filled with shock and disbelief.
These two sentences were something he had never heard of before, and they were completely inconsistent with his cultivation experience and knowledge, and were even subversive!
He has practiced the Ten Mysterious Sword Techniques inherited from his family since he was a child. From the first day of sword training, he practiced with a sword in his hand.
Not only him, but also the swordsmanship masters in Qingyun country need to use a sword to perform their swordsmanship.
Even Master Jian Zong, the strongest swordsman in Qingyun Kingdom, never leaves his hand with his sword and practices hard day and night.
But the words on this tombstone say that the first step in practicing swordsmanship is the realm of sword heart. After practicing it, you can achieve the effect of having no sword in your hand and the sword in your heart.
Isn't this nonsense?
How can you practice swordsmanship if you don’t have a sword in your hand? How can you perform swordsmanship?
Ji Tianxing thought subconsciously: "The words on this tombstone are probably crazy and whimsical, and they are completely inconsistent with the common sense of martial arts practice!"
But then he thought about it, this was the tomb of the Sword God, and the words on the tombstone were most likely left by the Sword God during his lifetime.
Even if not, it must be related to the Sword God.
So, with an attitude of doubt and curiosity, he continued to read.
"The first level of the Way of the Sword Heart is self-destruction Dantian. It uses one's own essence as the root, supplemented by the vitality of heaven and earth, to condense the sword energy and breed the sword fetus in the body."
Ji Tianxing was a little dumbfounded. He just felt that these words had opened his eyes. His knowledge and outlook on things for more than ten years had been subverted.
"Oh my God! What kind of evil technique is this sword heart method? If you want to practice sword heart, you must first destroy the Dantian?"
"The dantian is the foundation of a warrior's cultivation, more important than the lifeblood. Who would destroy his dantian to practice such evil skills? Unless he is crazy!"
Thinking of this, Ji Tianxing was stunned for a moment, and a strange idea came to his mind.
"Hey! Ordinary warriors can't destroy their dantian to practice their sword heart. I'm different!"
"My Dantian has disappeared. It is impossible for me to reach the True Yuan Realm in this life. I will only be a waste in the Body Refining Realm in this life... Maybe I can try to practice?"
Ji Tianxing always felt that the way of sword heart was contrary to common sense and inconsistent with the common sense of martial arts, and it was most likely an evil practice.
But he has been forced into a desperate situation. He wants to regain his strength and take revenge on Ling Yunfei, so he refuses to let go of any opportunity to become stronger.
Next, he carefully read the words on the first tombstone, and after pondering for a while, he roughly understood it.
"If I want to practice the way of sword heart, I have to refine my body and transform it into qi, use my own essence to cooperate with the vitality of heaven and earth, condense it into sword qi, and then use the sword qi to give birth to a sword fetus in my body."
Ji Tianxing thought about it and felt that this cultivation method was very novel and unusual, and it might be possible to succeed.
He memorized the words on the first tombstone and looked at the second tombstone.
There is less text on this tombstone, only about 20 words, which records a meditation and exercise route.
He memorized more than 20 words of cultivation instructions, and then looked at the third, fourth and fifth tombstones.
As a result, he discovered that the words on the next few tombstones were getting more and more profound.
Even though he could recognize the words on the tombstone, he couldn't understand what those words meant.
He reluctantly took a few more glances, then felt exhausted and his thinking became confused.
Ji Tianxing knew that his level of strength was too low and he had not yet begun to practice the art of sword heart.
If you force yourself to watch profound and profound cultivation methods, you may lose your reason and become obsessed and become a lunatic.
So, he quickly withdrew his gaze and no longer looked at those tombstones.
"You can't chew off more than you can chew. No matter whether the way of the sword is an evil skill or not, you must practice and understand it step by step."
"I'll leave here first and try the first-level cultivation method of the Way of the Sword Heart first."
As soon as Ji Tianxing had the idea of leaving, the mysterious space and the eighteen ancient tombstones immediately became illusory and blurry.
The next moment, Ji Tianxing's mind returned to normal and he woke up.
He sat up from the bed, opened his eyes and looked around, finding that he was still in the room.
Night has fallen outside the window, and lights are on.
He picked up the tea cup on the head of the bed and took a sip of tea. He rubbed his brows tiredly and murmured in a low voice: "Why do I feel like I'm asleep and dreaming?"
"I don't know whether the tomb of the Sword God and the eighteen tombstones are real or a dream?"
Ji Tianxing frowned and recalled it, and the words on the first and second tablets came to his mind clearly again.
He hesitated and thought for a while, then decided to take a risk and try to practice the way of sword heart.
