Chapter 104 Sword Intention and Sword Cultivation(1/2)
The jade slips Zhou Mubai left for him were said to be some insights from his experiences.
But when Chen Daoxuan took a closer look, he discovered that Zhou Mubai's analysis of kendo was quite detailed, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is a kendo inheritance.
The opening chapter of this jade slip introduces the history of Wan Xinghai's swordsmanship.
Actually.
A thousand years ago, the Qianyuan Sword Sect had not yet risen to rule the Ten Thousand Stars Sea period.
The magical weapons used by Wan Xinghai monks are diverse.
Some use spiritual rulers, some use seals, some use whips, and some even use hammers.
There are many types of magic weapons.
But now the magic weapons used by Wan Xinghai monks are highly unified. More than 90% of the offensive magic weapons are flying swords.
To say that he was influenced by the Qianyuan Sword Sect, it is better to say that he was afraid of being beaten by the Qianyuan Sword Sect back then.
It is human instinct to learn from the strong, and monks are no exception.
After countless battles during the Qianyuan Sword Sect's rule over Wan Xinghai.
Monk Wan Xinghai fully understood the horror of sword cultivators. Sword cultivators ranked first in attack at the same level, and he was called out from that period.
And the Qianyuan Sword Sect.
There is a strict standard for dividing the realm of kendo.
This classification standard is sword intent.
in short.
Those who understand the meaning of the sword are sword cultivators.
On the contrary, it is not.
However, for both monks who have comprehended the sword's intention, there are naturally different differences between those who comprehend the sword's intention during the Foundation Establishment stage and those who comprehend the sword's intention during the Zifu stage.
This is related to the problem of tempering the true essence and magic power with sword intention.
Why is the sword cultivator called the number one in his class?
It relies on the true energy and mana that have been tempered by the sword and are more powerful than those of monks of the same level.
If I have to make an analogy, it's a bit like the bonus of attribute skills to the power of true energy after a monk reaches the foundation building stage.
But there is a big difference.
Because the true essence and mana that have been tempered by the sword can also be used to practice attribute techniques.
This means that the sword cultivator's true energy and magical power will always be one level stronger than those of the same level of cultivators.
The basic true energy magic power is stronger, and the sword cultivator naturally stands at a height where monks of the same level look up to him.
Not to mention his unparalleled swordsmanship.
The power of various sword techniques is astonishing.
This is also the reason why Zhou Mubai, who was only on the first level of Zifu, seriously injured the leader of the late Zifu of the Shark Clan.
Become an ordinary monk instead.
Not to mention the first-level monks of Zifu who are the opponents of the later-stage monks of Zifu, it is good if they can save their lives in the opponent's hands.
The further a monk reaches the later stage of practice, the greater the gap between the early stage and the later stage.
For example, Chen Daoxuan was able to take advantage of the right time and place in the later stage of Qi refining to kill the monks in the early stage of foundation building.
But there are very few monks who can surpass the rank and kill the Zi Mansion during the foundation stage.
Not to mention the subsequent cross-border kills.
It's almost impossible to do.
Even killing enemies across small realms is extremely difficult.
Generally speaking, being able to remain undefeated across small realms means that your actual combat ability far exceeds that of fellow cultivators.
It can be seen from this.
How terrible Zhou Mubai's record was back then.
If the leader of the Shark Clan had run slower, perhaps Zhou Mubai would have insisted on chasing him regardless of his own injuries.
Luo Li's father is probably in tragedy.
In the courtyard.
Chen Daoxuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the Wenyu futon, then looked down.
Sword intent tempering usually starts from the foundation building stage.
Temper the true essence into sword essence.
Jian Yuan is actually a special name given by sword cultivators to those who have tempered their sword intention and refined their true essence.
Zhou Mubai also mentioned it in his jade slips.
Legend has it that if a monk has an extraordinary understanding and swordsmanship talent, and can comprehend the sword's intention during the Qi refining period, then he will have one more opportunity to refine than other sword cultivators.
However, even if a monk really has such a heaven-defying talent, Zhou Mubai would not advise him to do this.
Because during the Qi refining period, if monks want to build a foundation, one of the biggest difficulties is to expand the Qi sea.
In order to expand the Qi sea, a monk in the Qi refining stage must ensure that his Qi is extremely peaceful.
Even practicing attribute techniques will reduce the success rate of foundation building, let alone the tempered Qi.
When monks build foundations, they take Foundation Establishment Pills to make the transformed true energy less violent.
If there is any cultivator in the Qi refining stage who is extremely talented and uses sword intent to temper his true energy during the Qi refining stage, when his special true energy transforms into true essence, his level of violence will be almost as violent as that of a foundation-building sword cultivator.
The tempered true essence.
I would like to ask, how can the Dantian Qi sea of a monk in the Qi refining stage be able to withstand this kind of pressure?
The only ending is.
Before the violent zhenqi could completely transform into real essence, the sea of qi in the dantian was directly exploded.
Expanding the Qi Sea has become a joke.
Jade slips.
Zhou Mubai just sighed a little with the existence of this kind of sword cultivator.
After all, Zhou Mubai himself is also a swordsman, and he has no ambition at all for the theoretical perfection that swordsmanship can achieve.
It must be a liar.
Don't talk about Zhou Mubai.
When Chen Daoxuan saw his introduction, he couldn't help but admire this kind of swordsmanship.
Over the past two years.
The way in which Chen Daoxuan spent the most number of epiphanies was in the art of swordsmanship.
It can be said that he has made it clear that he will embark on the path of sword cultivation in the future.
At least the path of sword cultivation will be his most important path in the future.
As for other branch paths, they can at best be regarded as products of his leisurely and elegant life.
In addition, he now has half a foot on the threshold of understanding the meaning of the sword.
It's only one step away from comprehending the sword's meaning.
It is entirely possible for him to do what Zhou Mubai said and comprehend the sword's intention during the Qi refining period.
However, if you want to become such a legendary sword cultivator, understanding the sword intention during the Qi refining period is only the most basic step.
Then the foundation building is the biggest difficulty.
certainly.
Building a foundation is difficult, but the benefits obtained after building a foundation are also great.
Once this kind of monk successfully builds the foundation, it means that he can use his sword intent to temper his true energy and true essence once during the Qi refining stage and the foundation building stage.
The foundation is more solid than other sword cultivators. No one at the same level can match him in terms of true energy and mana.
To know.
The monk's pursuit of strength is not just about showing off his courage and fighting ruthlessly.
But it has practical significance.
This practical significance is reflected when the monks break through the golden elixir stage.
Why are there rumors in the outside world that Zhou Mubai is more certain of breaking through to the Golden Elixir Stage than Patriarch Zhou, a perfection monk from the Purple Mansion?
The reason lies in strength!
