For a cultivator, a hundred days passes in a snap.
On this day, Li Ke was lying on a rock, enjoying the sunbathing. Across dozens of miles of mountains and forests, he looked intently at Xiao Lin, who was meditating on the mysteries of swordsmanship, with a bit of envy and admiration on his face.
He thought about himself, it has been forty years since he started practicing. Although he has advanced to the middle stage of foundation building, as a casual cultivator, it is still very difficult to practice.
Li Ke thought about twenty years ago, when he had just advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refining, and he was so high-spirited that everyone in the world was a common man, and he was a unique immortal in heaven and earth.
At that time, his only goal was to join the Immortal Sword Sect and become a sword cultivator.
It was a pity that after twenty years, he had achieved enlightenment several times, but he still could not understand the meaning of the sword. Naturally, he was rejected by the Immortal Sword Divine Sect. As for the massive number of outer disciples of the Immortal Sword Divine Sect, Li Ke disdained them from the bottom of his heart.
"Hey~~" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
He is over fifty years old, and his cultivation is only at a medium level. How can he go further on the path to immortality? Let alone the combination of physical cultivation, even if he can transform into a Nascent Soul, he may have no hope in this life.
While he was thinking wildly, he suddenly focused his eyes and saw Senior Xiao sitting on the cliff. Dense dark green sword aura suddenly appeared around him. These dark green sword auras came towards him with an extremely astonishing pressure.
Spreading in all directions.
Even Yintian Yijian on the side was alarmed and stood up in shock, with a deep look of horror in his eyes.
As a sword cultivator, his attainments in the way of swordsmanship are not weaker than those of the Bai family that Xiao Lin met in the mortal world. He naturally understands that the person in front of him has already achieved enlightenment and is in the realm of swordsmanship.
, there has been further improvement, otherwise such a phenomenon would not have happened.
Immediately afterwards, a phoenix cry resounded through the sky, and a huge phantom of Qingluan gradually appeared behind Xiao Lin. When the phantom of Qingluan swelled to a size of hundreds of feet, it suddenly flew into the sky and plunged straight into the white clouds in the sky.
It disappeared without a trace, leaving only the sound of phoenixes echoing in the mountains.
Xiao Linwu sat cross-legged, his expression unchanged at all, but ripples began to emit from his side.
I don't know how long it took, but Qingluan, who was above the void and had almost solidified into reality, suddenly broke through the white clouds, fell from the sky, and shot directly into Xiao Lin's body from Baihui.
"Buzz~~" The ripples around it exploded, layer by layer, spreading out in all directions, and wherever this power passed, whether it was ancient trees, flowers, grass, or mountains, rocks, and lakes, everything was struck by extremely sharp
Things look like they have been cut.
Even the lake at the foot of the mountain had dozens of cracks, just like gaps cut by sharp swords.
What's even more strange is that these cracks have not healed. After the ripples spread hundreds of feet away and disappeared without a trace, those smooth cracks still exist.
Qiao Feng on the side watched all this in stunned silence.
After a long time, he murmured to himself: "This...this is the realm of swordsmanship that the master of Jingshen Waterfall could achieve. He...just stayed in seclusion for a hundred days, how could it be?"
At this time, Xiao Lin slowly opened his eyes, revealing his deep eyes. The sharp sword energy on his body had completely disappeared, and was replaced by a gentle and handsome young man, who looked harmless to humans and animals.
.
"Xiao Mou is very grateful to Fellow Daoist Qiao. Being able to comprehend the mysteries of swordsmanship again has greatly benefited Xiao. All of this is due to Fellow Daoist Qiao's previous mercy." Xiao Lin said with a humble hand.
When Qiao Feng heard this, a touch of warmth appeared on his face. He hurriedly returned the greeting and then sighed softly.
"Hey~ Fellow Daoist Xiao is amazingly talented. He is indeed a swordsman genius that is rare in the world. Qiao feels ashamed, ashamed, and ashamed."
"Xiao is just a coincidence. If the Jingshen Waterfall hadn't contained the mysterious principles of the senior swordsman, Xiao wouldn't have been able to break through."
Hearing this, Qiao Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. After waving his hands, he sat cross-legged on the rock and slowly closed his eyes, obviously taking this opportunity to see off his guests.
Xiao Lin was not displeased and still bowed his hand to Qiao Feng. Then with a slight sway, he turned into a bolt of shocking light and shot towards the distant mountains and forests.
"Hugh~~"
In the distant mountain forest, a sword light suddenly rose into the sky. This sword light contained a trace of sharp energy. Wherever it passed, it actually tore the air apart and made a sharp roar.
"Huh?" Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly.
"I didn't expect that this Li Ke is quite qualified. In this short period of time, he actually realized the meaning of the sword."
It turns out that the fierce sword energy was sent by Li Ke. He also practiced swordsmanship. In order to join the inner sect of the Immortal Sword Sect, he went to the Twelve Sword Tombs several times to understand the sword intention, but unfortunately he never did so.
.
It is precisely because of this that even though he has advanced to the middle stage of foundation building, he is still a casual cultivator.
But at the moment when Xiao Lin broke through, the hidden meaning of the sword also burst out at the same time. Li Ke actually understood the essence of the sword and condensed the sword intention in one fell swoop. It must be said that it was a blessing from heaven.
Xiao Lin did not disturb Li Ke who was in seclusion, but quietly floated down to a rock dozens of feet away and stood quietly.
Xiao Lin's eyes are extremely sharp now. He has already seen that Li Ke is also practicing swordsmanship. Being able to condense the sword intention today is a matter of course, and it is not a sudden enlightenment.
In fact, the same is true for Xiao Lin. He has been practicing the World Killing Sword Art for hundreds of years. He has been stuck on the Nine-Character Mantra and has been unable to make any further progress for hundreds of years.
Now, after spending a hundred days in front of the shocking waterfall, he realized the indomitable momentum. The sword, with its sharp edge exposed, moved forward indomitably. He controlled the sword with Qi, concentrated the momentum with spirit, and united the sword momentum, thus bursting out with earth-shattering power.
After understanding this, Xiao Lin's realm of swordsmanship, which he had not been able to break through for a long time, was finally like a dam bursting out of control.
Xiao Lin deliberately restrained his momentum, otherwise the surrounding area of a hundred miles would be reduced to a mess.
It's just that Xiao Lin didn't expect that this Li Ke would also be blessed with the blessing of condensing sword intent. This would undoubtedly be an important turning point for his future path to immortality.
Xiao Lin understood that after he had just condensed his sword intention, he still needed to consolidate his realm and bring his sword intention to his soul. Only in this way could the sword spirit be unified and a solid foundation be laid.
So Xiao Lin waited quietly, which was regarded as protecting the law for him.
A few days later, Li Ke, who was sitting cross-legged, finally opened his eyes, and two rays of golden light shot out from his eyes and disappeared in a flash.
Seeing the golden light emanating from Li Ke's eyes, Xiao Lin's heart suddenly moved, and a thoughtful light appeared in his eyes.
"Li Ke, thank you, senior." Li Ke, who had understood the meaning of the sword, came to Xiao Lin with an excited expression, knelt directly on the ground, and kowtowed respectfully.
"No need to be polite. This is also due to your luck. It is the result of your hard work day and night, accumulated over time." After Xiao Linsheng bowed to him, he waved his sleeves and robe, and Li Ke suddenly felt an astonishing force pulling him.
He stood up.
"If it weren't for senior, even if I gave Li Ke another thirty years, I'm afraid he still wouldn't be able to condense the sword intention." Li Ke knew that he couldn't continue to kneel down, so he could only bow his hands and express his respect for the senior Xiao in front of him.
"Where is the sword ladder you mentioned earlier? When will it open?" Xiao Lin said after thinking for a while.
According to what Li Ke said before, this thousand-story sword ladder is the most holy place in the entire Jianyuan Mountain, and it is also the best place to learn the mysteries of swordsmanship. Xiao Lin has now understood the Shizi Jue and is thinking of striking while the iron is hot. If he can enter
If you gain some understanding on this thousand-level sword ladder, you may be able to reach a higher level, but that's not necessarily the case.
But Li Ke's answer immediately silenced Xiao Lin.
It turns out that the Thousand Layer Sword Ladder can only be opened once every thousand years. The next time it is opened, it will take more than a hundred years. At that time, several elders of the Immortal Sword Sect will join forces to open the entrance of the Thousand Layer Sword Ladder.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin temporarily put aside the idea of going to the Thousand Layer Sword Staircase.
At this time, Xiao Lin saw Li Ke standing aside, showing a funny look that was hesitant to speak.
"If you have something to say, it's okay to say it." Xiao Lin said calmly.
"Uh~" Li Ke quickly saluted and said: "Back to senior, southwest of Jianyuan Mountain, thousands of miles away, there is a thatched cottage, which was the holy land of Jianlu Sect thousands of years ago. Unfortunately, Jianlu has long since declined.
, there are not many disciples left, and some time ago, Li Ke heard in Wanjian City that Jianlu Sect was recruiting successors. As long as someone can enter the Jianlu Nine Palaces Sword Formation, they can understand the meaning of Jianlu back then.
The old man can become the successor of the contemporary Sword House and the real master of the Sword House by practicing the Nine Palaces Heavenly Nian Sword Art."
"Jianlu Sect?" Xiao Lin is a little unfamiliar with this name, but this is not surprising. There are no fewer than hundreds of Sword Dao sects in Jianyuan Mountain, not even including those sects that have declined and have no one to inherit the inheritance.
The so-called Jianlu Sect is roughly one of this kind.
Xiao Lin didn't want to be a heir to Jianlu, he had no interest in it.
Li Ke seemed to have noticed Xiao Lin's thoughts, and said hurriedly: "Jianlu Old Man's Jiugong Tian Nian Sword Art is one of the few magical sword art of the mind sword in the world of immortal cultivation. According to rumors, as long as you can practice it, you can get started.
, not only can it greatly strengthen one's own sword intention, allowing one to go further in the way of swordsmanship, but it can also greatly strengthen the spiritual mind of the immortal cultivator. Once you practice the Nine Palaces Tian Nian Sword Art, even if you are just getting started, its spiritual power will be great.
The power of consciousness far exceeds that of monks of the same level, and even the Immortal Sword Sect had coveted this sword art for a long time."
"Oh? The Immortal Sword Sect is known as the first of the ten major sects. There are as many techniques in the sect as there are stars in the vast sky. How can it covet the techniques of a declining sect?" Xiao Lin asked strangely.
"Senior, I don't know. The several sect-suppressing sword techniques of the Immortal Sword Sect are naturally no less powerful than the Nine Palaces Tian Nian Sword Techniques. However, the Nine Palaces Tian Nian Sword Techniques focus on strengthening the sword intent of the immortal cultivator, and the sword intent is
The strength and weakness of a sword cultivator is also the foundation of a sword cultivator. It is this characteristic that makes Jianlu famous far and wide. Unfortunately, for countless years, there have been many cultivators who have entered the Nine Palaces Sword Formation, but no one can understand the Nine Palaces.
Tian Nian Sword Technique, senior is extremely talented and the realm of swordsmanship is unfathomable, why not try your luck, after all, if you can understand even part of the Nine Palaces Tian Nian Sword Technique, you will benefit a lot."
When Xiao Lin heard this, he glanced at Li Ke in surprise. This guy was not in a high level, but he had unique views on the problem.
Once you start practicing Jiugong Tiannian Sword Technique, you can greatly improve your sword intention and spiritual consciousness. This effect really surprised Xiao Lin, because the effect of this sword technique is somewhat similar to the Heaven-Building Sutra.
The Tian Mending Sutra technique that Xiao Lin is practicing now is just a fragment, with only the first to seventh levels of heart techniques. Of course, Xiao Lin has only practiced to the fifth level, and there is still a long way to go before he can reach the seventh level.
, but the incompleteness of the technique has always been a worry for Xiao Lin.
The world of cultivating immortals is vast and boundless, and there are as many races as there are sands in the Ganges River. It is unknown how many there are. Finding the remaining techniques of the Mending Heaven Sutra is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Now that we are planning to travel around the vast Jianyuan Mountain, there is no harm in joining in the excitement.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin immediately made a decision and asked Li Ke to point out the direction. Then Xiao Lin waved his sleeves and a large dark green aura instantly enveloped Li Ke. A dark green rainbow rose into the sky, reaching a thousand feet high and then wavered slightly.
It folded, shot towards the distance, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
...
Jianlu
It is located on an island in the middle of a lake that is dozens of miles in size. This island in the middle of the lake is only a few miles in size. In the center of the island is a small mountain that is only a few hundred feet high.
The entire island is covered by lush, towering ancient trees, presenting a thriving scene.
On the top of the hill, there is a square of one hundred feet in size. Near the side of the cliff, stands a simple thatched cottage.
In front of the thatched cottage, in an open space several feet in size, there are two long swords, one on the left and one on the right, each in gold and silver colors.
The sharp sword shines.
At this moment, there are no less than a thousand people standing around the square. Among these people, those with the lowest realm are all at the Nascent Soul stage.
At this moment, a shocking dark green rainbow fell from the sky. When the light dissipated, two figures were revealed, it was Xiao Lin and Li Ke.
People who were close to Xiao Lin couldn't help but distance themselves after sensing the terrifying aura on him that was like a vast abyss, leaving a few feet of space for Xiao Lin.
"That is the mind sword space. I heard that immortal cultivators can enter it through the power of spiritual consciousness, and inside is the Jiugong Sword Formation. At the same time, the mental formulas of the Jiugong Tian Nian Sword Art are also in this mind space."
Li Ke explained from the sidelines.
Xiao Lin nodded. The founder of this Jianlu was the old man Jianlu. Being able to create a space of thoughts showed that his realm had reached an extremely high level. He was at least a sword cultivator above the integration stage.
Xiao Lin is well aware of the terrifying nature of swordsmanship. The explosion of fighting power that Bai Xingge and Bai Chongzun showed far beyond their level is still fresh in his memory.
