After Sun Jue left, Yang Ji's enlightenment basically came to a halt and no decisive progress was made.
"Hey, it still lacks the artistic conception of thunder and lightning!"
Yang Ji sighed in the palace.
All martial arts have their origins, either imitating animals, imitating beasts, or imitating the world... No martial arts is a waterless source.
If he could see the scripture paintings of this martial art, Yang Ji might have made a breakthrough long ago. But within the sect, Yang Ji seemed to have never heard of "scripture paintings".
In this case, the best way is to understand the thunder of heaven and earth and imitate the "Dian Mu Sword Technique". However, the weather is scorching now, and there is rarely even rain, let alone thunder.
The weather is up.
"We can only wait..."
Yang Ji secretly thought that he could only temporarily put aside his pursuit of enlightenment and instead devote all his efforts to modifying his martial arts.
Yang Ji didn't wait long. In the evening five days later, Yang Ji was practicing in his room when suddenly——
"thunderbolt!"
A loud noise came from outside the house, like a giant ax splitting the sky. Yang Ji's feet trembled, and the entire Tieguan Mountain seemed to be shaking.
"This is--"
Yang Ji's heart moved, and he listened attentively. A pattering of raindrops came from outside the house. The raindrops slapped on the window paper, making a pitter-patter sound.
"It finally rained."
Yang Ji smiled slightly, walked to the window, opened the window, and the strong wind brought a burst of cool raindrops to his face immediately. Looking from the window, he saw outside Tieguan Mountain, under the dim sky, far and near, scurrying.
Beads like broken threads fell from the sky, covering the mountains.
"Crack!"
Another deafening roar came from the sky, this second thunder. Immediately it started to rain heavily. The sky was filled with dark clouds. Although it was still evening, the light was almost as dim as night.
"It's raining!"
A faint exclamation came from the bottom of the mountain. Many disciples covered their heads and hurried to their residences. They were hit by the heavy rain. The incense in the large incense burners also dimmed a lot. After the heavy rain, they must be extinguished.
Yang Ji smiled slightly and was looking at Comfort. Suddenly his arm felt cold and he felt a slimy living creature crawling into his side without knowing when.
"Xiaoji?"
Yang Ji took a look and was a little surprised.
After taking the martial arts examination in Pingchuan County, Yang Ji noticed that "Xiao Ji" had dull eyes and his energy was getting worse day by day. Sometimes when he pinched his body, he felt limp and he didn't like to move.
After arriving at the Iron Crown Sect, "Xiao Ji" didn't like hanging around Yang Ji anymore. Yang Ji simply arranged it in the corner of the palace and built it with stacks of books.
But at this time, "Xiao Ji" suddenly crawled out for some reason, lay down next to Yang Ji, and silently looked at the sky covered with dark clouds in trance.
Yang Ji took a look. "Xiao Ji's" eyes were dark, and he seemed to be more energetic than before.
"Strange? Aren't birds and animals supposed to be afraid of thunder and lightning?"
Yang Ji was secretly surprised.
Regardless of whether it is a ferocious beast or a ferocious beast, it will usually hide in weather with dense thunderclouds and thunder and lightning. But "Xiao Ji"'s expression is very strange. It doesn't look like he is afraid at all, but rather with a hint of...
…Hope?
"thunderbolt!"
There was another thunder, and Yang Ji saw a shining "silver snake" passing over the house. The raindrops that were still pattering at first have now turned into pouring rain, and the sky and the earth are filled with diffuse rain and mist, and pattering raindrops.
The sound was like the cracking of a whip.
Yang Ji quickly recovered from "Xiao Ji", pressed his palm on the window sill, turned over the window with a snap, and landed on the ground outside.
Thousands of raindrops fell from the sky, and Yang Ji was soaked through in just a short time.
"This opportunity cannot be missed. It is rare to encounter such thunderstorm weather. If you miss this time, you don't know how long you will have to wait."
Yang Ji secretly said.
This was the first thunderstorm in more than three months that he remembered. There are many rainy days in the 365 days a year, but there are only a handful of rainy and thundery days.
After missing this opportunity, Yang Ji didn't know how long it would take him to wait for the second time!
There was heavy rain in the sky. Yang Ji raised his head and looked up at the sky, his dark and deep eyes reflecting the motionless dark clouds all over the sky.
The duration of the thunder explosion can be long or short, and no one knows when it will stop. Yang Ji must seize the time to understand the sword intention of the "Dian Mu Sword Technique".
"Crack!"
There was a loud noise, Yang Ji's pupils shrank, and he saw a bright "silver snake" twisting and twisting deep in the thundercloud, passing across the entire sky at an incredible speed.
Under the sky, mountain peaks appeared in the lightning, but only for a moment they fell into darkness again.
Yang Ji remained motionless, and the time was too short. Before he had time to understand what the "silver snake" was, it had already disappeared. However, although the silver snake disappeared, deep in Yang Ji's mind, the tail light of the scurrying silver snake was still there.
Slowly disappear.
"Boom!"
After a long period of silence in the deep darkness of the night, another piercing "silver snake" streaked across the sky.
Yang Ji vaguely felt something in his mind, but it disappeared before he could catch it.
Yang Ji waited quietly.
"Buzz!"
When the third thunder and lightning passed across the sky, Yang Ji's mind suddenly lit up. The "silver snake" passing deep in the sky suddenly merged with a bright light deep in his memory.
Thunder light, sword light...
Things went up and down in Yang Ji's mind...
"Boom!"
After the third thunder, there was a sudden burst of dense thunder. The sky and the earth were uncertain. How many lightnings exploded deep in the dark clouds, and the void was filled with majestic thunder that destroyed the world.
The breath is so explosive that it makes people's hair stand on end.
The frightening and destructive thunder seems to be able to strike down at any time. In such an environment, everyone is insignificant.
This is the power from nature and the power of thunder!
Yang Jida opened his eyes and stood in the pouring rain, looking up at the sky. Not only was he not afraid, but he simply relaxed his mind and was completely immersed in this thunderous explosion.
There was a violent storm outside, lightning and thunder, but Yang Ji felt silent in his heart. In his mind, with the piercing thunder and lightning, they moved faster and faster...
The thunder and lightning were still thousands of miles away at first, but when I looked back, they had already passed through the sky and disappeared into the sky. - Isn't this the speed that the "Dian Mu Sword Technique" pursues?
A streak of thunder is a sword technique. Slowly, the "Dian Mu Sword Technique" that has been studied day and night for more than thirty days slowly merged with the thunder and lightning in the sky.
The trajectory of the sword technique and the trajectory of thunder and lightning were slowly approaching. Gradually, one after another, the contents on the forty-two drawings seemed to turn into solid lightning, echoing with the thunder and lightning in the sky.
Boom!
It was like a thunderbolt exploded in his mind, and Yang Ji's heart was filled with clarity. Under the influence of an invisible force, Yang Ji's mental strength increased. Countless thoughts, thousands of them, were scattered in an instant.
Go out and merge into the space between heaven and earth...
Swift, mighty, destructive... It erupts in silence, causing mountains to collapse and the ground to crack. It is unstoppable! By the time you hear the sound in your ears and notice the movement, it's already done. It's too late to regret, everything is already over...
Thoughts passed through his mind one after another. Yang Ji quietly looked at the thunder and lightning in the sky. For thirty days, some bottlenecks and obstacles that he had been unable to comprehend were suddenly solved and he was able to escape thousands of miles away.
At this moment, Yang Ji's understanding of "Dian Mu Sword Technique" suddenly reached a whole new level.
Gradually, the "silver snakes" all over the sky suddenly turned into thick and colorful strokes, painting brand new pictures in Yang Ji's mind...
Just like a moment, or like countless long centuries, Yang Ji finally came back to his senses. At some point, the thunderstorms had stopped, and there was only a drizzle of light rain left in the sky.
Moreover, Yang Ji's mental power has also dramatically increased to twice its original level, and even his mental speed has become much faster, becoming clearer and more organized.
"Successful."
Yang Ji smiled slightly in his heart.
Although this study was purely for Lin Qingyan, Yang Ji himself was not strong enough to practice the "Dian Mu Sword Technique". But this time he studied the advanced sword technique, Yang Ji got no less benefits than Lin Qingyan.
Not only did he gain valuable experience in advanced swordsmanship, but his mental power surged to twice its original level. Moreover, Yang Ji also learned a new move based on the sword theory of "Dian Mu Swordsmanship" and the characteristics of "Immortal Sword".
Unique knowledge.
"While your thoughts are still clear, draw these insights first."
Yang Ji thought about it and immediately walked under the eaves of the palace. When he passed by the window, Yang Ji was startled. He saw "Xiao Ji" holding his head high and poking into the void, as if he was swallowing in all directions.
"Xiaoji?!"
Yang Ji was startled. In the surrounding void, there seemed to be countless small amounts of free energy constantly integrating into "Xiao Ji"'s body from all directions.
Different from the normal absorption of the vitality of heaven and earth by warriors, Yang Ji suddenly felt a faint breath of thunder from the free energy beside Xiao Ji.
"Has Xiaoji been absorbing Thunder's energy?"
Yang Ji was in disbelief.
Shouldn't this energy be something that birds and beasts fear? And even "warriors" would find it difficult to absorb the power of thunder, right?
Yang Ji's heart went up and down, "Xiao Ji" closed his eyes tightly, wandering around, motionless, still swallowing the remaining energy of the thunder in the void.
Yang Ji didn't want to disturb it at this time. With a thought, he climbed over the window lightly and nimbly and got into the hall.
"boom!"
Yang Ji's whole body exploded with blood, and the strong blood energy evaporated the wet blue cloth on his body in an instant.
Yang Ji did not dare to be distracted, so he took the pen from the pen holder, dipped it in ink, spread the paper, and then the pen moved like a dragon and snake, integrating the thunderous artistic conception he had just realized into his pen, and turning it into brand new pictures.
Different from the previous forty-two pictures, this time every hook, fold, press, press, and stroke in Yang Ji's pen are integrated into a thunderous artistic conception. The brushwork is fierce and wild, just like streaks grazing on the paper.
Passed by thunder.
After about a stick of incense, Yang Ji finally completed the final comprehension of the "Dian Mu Sword Technique". The "forty-two" drawings were reduced to twenty-four brand-new drawings, which were stacked on the table.
"Finally, I can report to Senior Sister Lin."
Yang Ji raised his head and said secretly.
This was a mutually beneficial move. Lin Qingyan gained a lot, and Yang Ji gained a lot as well. Especially his understanding of kendo improved by leaps and bounds.
If there were a few more transactions like this, Yang Ji would even be sure to defeat any strong young man of his generation in the world in an instant - no matter how evil a genius he was!
