Chapter 563: Calculation and counter-calculation, Snow Soul in the Mountains (6K)
As far as Yuan Wu knows, unlike Zheng Xiu's "Spark Fire Comet Tail Sword" which can activate the power of the Big Dipper, the Qinglong Qisu of the East occupies a significantly wider star area. Counting the Zhengxing and Zengxing, there are a total of
335 stars have been recorded by the observatory, and the total number is much higher than the former.
Regardless of the difference in number, in terms of visible brightness, or the intensity of the energy emitted by the stars, the Big Dipper is among the best among the stars in the sky. Except for Tianquan, they can all be ranked among the top 100, so targeting them
The rigid requirements for induction, communication, and cultivation realm are not too high.
Theoretically, if you first enter the Sixth Realm of Life, or even reach the peak of the Fifth Realm of Divine Mind, if you have special elixirs and meteorite iron to help you, are extremely talented, and have specialized sensory skills, it is somewhat possible.
Perceiving the highest jade scale in the Beidou is just like Zheng Xiu when he was eighteen or nineteen years old.
Of course, being able to sense the energy of stars scattered across Beidou, establishing contact with formal communication, and using it to kill enemies are two different things. The latter not only requires deeper sensing and understanding, but also requires more sophisticated control of the energy of stars.
ability.
This usually means at least the cultivation of the seventh realm, as well as a deep understanding and mastery of the vitality of the stars, and because Beidou brings the meaning of death and decay, which is extremely special in the entire starry sky, all the skills known in the world
Dharma can only be realized by cultivating the "Star Fire Sword Sutra" to great perfection.
The Eastern Canglong Qisu is different. Its stars are numerous and widely distributed, and the brightness and vitality intensity are generally not as good as those of the Big Dipper. This requires practitioners to have a wider and keener perception range and be able to capture the power of stars in different directions and distances at the same time.
Compared with Ziwei, Taiwei, Tianshi Sanyuan, and the other twenty-one constellations in the northwest and south, there is nothing unique about Dongfang Qisu. Therefore, it is possible to communicate with these more than 300 stars. If you want to go one step further,
Establishing contact with the more than 3,000 stars in the sky is basically just a matter of time.
According to the ancient records of the Gushan Sword Sect, the ancient cultivating sect that specializes in sensing the stars in the sky usually refers to these extraterrestrial stars as the heavens or small worlds, and uses induction and communication to induce three thousand stars.
The small world is an extremely important threshold. Once it is crossed, it can cause real qualitative changes.
To put it simply, this level of spiritual perception and the ability to activate the energy of the stars must have reached the standards of the Eighth Realm Qitian, and is definitely beyond the reach of the Seventh Realm peak. Three thousand are stored in the sea of consciousness or acupoints.
If the heavens can resonate with each other and exert force simultaneously, it will undoubtedly be an output at the level of the eight realms.
Practitioners who have reached the eighth realm may not be able to connect and mobilize the power of three thousand heavens like this because the "keys" of enlightening the heavens are in different directions. However, those who can do this must be of the same level.
The existence of the eight realms.
According to the annotations of the Gushan Sword Sect, three thousand small worlds can be compared with the lower-grade eight realms, six thousand small worlds can be compared with the middle-grade eight realms, nine thousand small worlds can be compared with the high-grade eight realms, and thirteen thousand and five
The hundreds of small worlds represent that the Eight Realms have reached their peak.
Perception is easy, communication is difficult. For the same practitioner walking on this path, the number of stars that can be sensed is basically four or five times more than the number of stars that can be established through communication. Naturally, the stars that can only barely sense their existence cannot be easily
to be motivated.
Moreover, every time we communicate with other heavens, we need to distinguish among the mixed star energy environment, extract the corresponding thin starlight, slowly attract and gather it, and integrate it with the life energy. The difficulty is getting higher and higher, and it also consumes more energy.
After much time of grinding, a resonant starlight array hub was forged.
Therefore, numbers such as three thousand, six thousand, and nine thousand are not directly proportional to the strength gap between the small levels of the Eight Realms. They can only be used to measure a certain correspondence between the perception of spiritual thoughts and the visual star level.
If your thoughts are strengthened ten times as much as before, you can perceive the starlight that is 90% dimmed.
"The direction where the starlight falls should be in Yangshan, Wushan, and Dongting County..." Yuanwu Yun looked far away and thought to himself, basically ruling out the possibility of Qin people's activities there. In other words, this new
The Qitian-level experts who emerged were either Chu or Qi, and they were all enemies of the outer dynasty.
Feeling the vagaries of God's will and fate, he smiled self-deprecatingly, and then his face gradually became solemn, as if he had made some decision. He turned his head slightly, glanced at the palace ministers standing beside him, and said softly: "
Get paper and pen, the best talisman paper and pen and ink."
"promise!"
The man who kept lowering his eyebrows and bowing his head as if he didn't exist responded immediately after hearing the words, and then his body flashed slightly and disappeared in an instant. When he reappeared, he was holding an ebony tray in his hand.
There are talisman paper, a dragon-bearded pen and a small jade dish filled with ink.
Yuanwu took the paper and pen, nodded briefly to show his approval, and then waved away the worshiper, ordering him to retreat ten steps away. He was not allowed to approach without permission.
He unfolded the piece of talisman paper painted with light golden cloud patterns, and it was obvious at a glance that it was worth a lot of money. He pondered for a moment, and then started writing, with the pen moving like a dragon and a snake, iron drawings and silver hooks, each mysterious and obscure ancient secret seal,
It flows out from the tip of the pen and is arranged on the talisman paper in sequence.
As Emperor Yuanwu's writing movements continued, the vitality of the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to be inexplicably attracted, and began to slowly gather together, constantly rotating around the tip of the pen.
The phoenix bird pattern made up of many different seal characters seems to have come to life, shining brightly on the talisman paper, and the aura is looming.
When the last stroke was written, the entire talisman paper lit up layer by layer, as if the heaven and earth were contained within a square inch of bright golden light. Then all the ink marks disappeared, leaving only an empty white vastness. Emperor Yuanwu
He breathed a long sigh of relief, his expression showing a bit of exhaustion.
Obviously, it is not easy for a great practitioner like him who also practices Talismanism to draw the content he wants to express in this talisman and integrate it into the mysterious mysteries of the Eight Realms of Qitian.
Putting the pen back on the jade plate, Emperor Yuanwu picked up the colorful silk paper, which was both a talisman and a painting. He blew it gently and attached a few wisps of his life energy. Then he turned his head again and looked at
The palace minister at the back who had been waiting said quietly:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Who is the person scheduled to join the next sword meeting?"
"It's He Shanjian, one of the elders of the Minshan Sword Sect. His majors are "Seven Apertures and Seven Souls Floating Light Sword" and "Tianxi Nether Secret Art". In these years, he has been handling affairs for the court through Yan Xiang and Her Royal Highness the Queen.
Secretly monitoring the Minshan swordsmen, their true cultivation level should be at the lower level of the Seventh Realm."
The ministers in the blue-shirted palace answered truthfully. They also understood the secrets in the court. After all, sometimes they needed to cooperate. At the same time, they were secretly awe-inspiring in their hearts, knowing that the Holy One must use this person's hand to achieve something.
There is an ulterior purpose.
"A low-ranking seventh-level person...hasn't he mastered the "Nine Forms of Heavenly Light Ice Condensation"?"
Emperor Yuanwu frowned slightly, thinking that only such a master with limited talent would be willing to completely fall to the court and become a chess piece that can be discarded at any time. A true genius of swordsmanship, like that Fang Xiumu, who is not heart-warming
People who are arrogant and careless about their talents are unwilling to succumb to others easily.
However, this is exactly what he wants. Only chess pieces that are easy to control can be used to perform some shady tasks.
In the blink of an eye, Emperor Yuanwu had already made up his mind. When he spoke again, there was already a hint of unquestionable majesty in his tone:
"Pass on my order to ask He Shanjian to perform well in the sword competition. If you can knock Ye Ce Leng off the high platform, causing the heart of his sword to be covered in dust and the foundation of the sword to be damaged, I will definitely reward him heavily."
"Give him this talisman and tell him not to hesitate to use it at critical moments."
The blue-shirted priest took the "blank" talisman paper that seemed ordinary but cost Emperor Yuanwu a lot of effort. He carefully put it into the secret pocket in his sleeve and said in a deep voice: "Promise!"
Then, the person's figure flashed and turned into an afterimage, disappearing from the place.
Watching the worshiper go away, the smile on Emperor Yuanwu's face gradually faded and became deeper again. He turned his attention to the Bijian Ping again. At this time, "Ye Ce Leng" had already defeated three players in a row.
The challenger is standing with a sword in his hand, with a heroic appearance and an extraordinary bearing.
Although he revealed at the court meeting a few days ago that he might personally participate in the sword duel, the purpose of his move was not to simply gain power and fame, nor to suppress Ye Ce Leng, who did not pose much of a threat.
There is a deeper planning and design.
Therefore, Yuanwu's sudden change of the original plan was undoubtedly closely related to the revelation of the vision in Dongfang Qisu.
To be more precise, he planned to sacrifice an insignificant Ye Ce Leng to show his sincerity of cooperation to Queen Zheng Xiu, so as to jointly deal with the unpredictable crisis that will follow.
The last attack on the Zheng family's fleet in the Weihe River slightly damaged the relationship between the two, but it also allowed Yuanwu to learn about the huge resources and power hidden in Jiaodong County.
Even for him, the Emperor of Qin, it was a force that could not be ignored, enough to affect the success or failure of many things, and it was worth re-weighing the pros and cons.
He even put down part of his body to take the initiative to repair the "ally" relationship between the two parties that seemed to be close but was actually barely maintained.
For a long time, he was probably doubting Ye Ce Leng's loyalty. In order to eliminate the root cause and prevent future troubles, Zheng Xiu always used to find an excuse to deal with her from all aspects.
However, Yuanwu always protected Jiaodong County at critical moments out of checks and balances and to reduce his dependence on the power of Jiaodong County. This revealed to a certain extent that the imperial power would always overwhelm the later power, allowing him to
You can still establish prestige even if you don't take care of government affairs personally.
But now, the situation has changed a lot, forcing Yuanwu to try to change his past strategy.
"It's time to give up this chess piece Ye Ce Leng..."
Emperor Yuanwu thought to himself, with no sadness or joy on his face, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter, and then looked at the entrance of Nie Garden from a distance, as if waiting for the arrival of some important person.
At the same time, on the Jianbi Ping, they had just defeated Zhou Dazhuo, Su Xinjianzhai Murong Xiu, and a certain Hengshan Army general who had come to power with great skill, and the latter two were defeated casually, and he was gaining a lot of envy and awe from all around.
Looking at Zhao Qing, he suddenly felt something.
Pretending to be "Ye Ce Leng", she looked up at the sword viewing platform high up, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something, but the next moment, she withdrew her gaze and her expression became indifferent again.
When I woke up, it seemed as if the moment of confusion just now was just an illusion.
"Who's coming to the next show?"
Zhao Qing looked around and spoke slowly. His cold voice echoed on the Jianbi Ping, causing the originally noisy surroundings to suddenly become silent. Then, it stirred up a new round of ripples.
Ye Ce Leng should be regarded as one of the youngest Seventh Realm Grandmasters in Changling. In other words, the fate of almost every practitioner who has also moved to the Seventh Realm can be said to be "bullying the small with the big".
Naturally, except for Zhou Dazhuo, who had previously been secretly instructed by Yuan Wu, few people were willing to bear this "notoriety".
What's more, everyone saw the process of "Ye Ce Leng" cleanly defeating Murong Xiu and the Hengshan Army general just now. They knew that with the strength of the chief of the Supervisory Sky Division, he could also suppress six people.
Under the conditions of the peak realm, there are very few people who can match it.
"If I don't go on stage to challenge now, won't it mean that I won't have a chance until I recover the real energy I just consumed?"
"Everyone, you missed the opportunity in vain and hesitated to fight. It is not a wise move. It can also be said that you have buried the blood in the hearts of the people of Qin. Likewise, you have also given up the opportunity to show your talents in front of the Holy Emperor."
"If you don't come now, when will you wait?"
Seeing everyone's hesitation, Zhao Qing added a few words lightly, and there was a hint of irritation in her words. The reason why she did this was naturally because she wanted to see more of the dazzling sword scriptures in Changling and find out more about them.
Intelligence information on many potential "customers".
Yes, "clients", this is the label she puts on these practitioners who may come to the stage to challenge her.
For example, when Zhou Dazhuo of the Qishan Sword Sect had a sword test with Zhao Qing, she secretly intercepted a trace amount of his life energy, which could be used for future sensing, positioning, and tracking, and he also contributed the "Leixiao Grinding Inkstone"
In addition to the mystery of "Sword Art", it also reveals a lot of problems in practice.
During the not-so-long battle, Zhao Qing carefully observed every minute detail of the opponent's sword movement and martial arts. Through various real-time feedbacks, he quickly established a model of the opponent's physical condition, and analyzed the opponent's physical condition during the training process.
The defects and hidden dangers that arise have a clear understanding.
They include but are not limited to: 12 imperceptible cracks are hidden deep in the bones at the end of Zhou Dazhuo's left forearm. There is a very faint killing sword intent left in them, which has caused serious damage to the meridians and muscles in this area.
The lack of pressure is obviously a hidden injury left behind when he encountered powerful opponents in the past;
At the same time, there is a slight deformity in the bones of the little finger of his right hand. Whenever the yin and yang qualities of the true energy alternate, there will be a dull pain, which interferes with the nearby Houxi point, thus affecting the range of movement and flexibility of the shoulder. It should be
Old problems that arise during sword practice;
In addition, the cornea in Zhou Dazhuo's eyes was burned for a long time by the dazzling lightning produced when practicing the secret sword. It has not healed for a long time, and has left a stubborn disease. This not only affects his vision, but may also cause damage to his sword sense and reaction speed.
long-term negative effects;
In addition, Zhou Dazhuo's released true energy moves faster in the direction of Fu Gua, and the density is uneven. This may be because he was often trained in this direction by his teachers when he was young, so that he formed a certain subconscious inertia.
Leaving a hole in defense;
In addition, from the discordant noises in his breathing, it can be seen that this person should have tried to practice the "Thunder Sound Prison Technique" of Wei Dynasty, but the result was not ideal. Not only did he fail to succeed, but he also caused
A slight tear in my heart...
These secrets hidden deep in Zhou Dazhuo's body, not to mention his Qishan Sword Sect, even he himself may not be able to know all of them. However, with Zhao Qing's insight and deduction, there is nothing to hide.
were analyzed one by one.
For these difficult and complicated diseases, she has already listed a complete set of solutions in her mind, including fine-tuning Zhou Dazhuo's original skills, several key nodes of the Sword Sutra, and practicing a few new ones to help make up for the gaps and warm up the skills.
The secret method of nourishing dark wounds, as well as taking several special elixirs regularly.
Zhao Qing can even provide some design drawings on the "Thunder-inducing Needle Array" so that the opponent can have a safer and more efficient auxiliary environment to draw down thunder and lightning while practicing the Thunder Sword Art and realizing the power of thunder.
The frequency can also be significantly increased, thereby accelerating the progress of spiritual practice.
Cultivating the sword is also cultivating the mind.
In order for "clients" to truly transform and benefit a lot, not only must they allocate their external skills and resources, but also pay attention to their inner psychological state, properly channel their accumulated negative emotions, or deepen or weaken the sword.
The connection between the person and the thing that is difficult to let go of.
The reason why people like Zhou Dazhuo were so easily moved by the hints of the officials of the Bureau of Ceremonies is because in recent years, Changling, the capital of Qin, has been siphoning off cultivation resources and talents from surrounding areas, which has led to the decline of poor sword sects like Qishan.
The leader of a faction has a heavy burden on his shoulders and has to find a way out.
Therefore, such "customers" with good cultivation and long-term needs are the high-quality development targets in Zhao Qing's mind. He can secretly deliver the "Lingxi Jade Talisman" and draw them into his own business system to participate in mutual assistance.
Through the exchanges on the forum, she gradually became her fan and contributed more strength.
If you give the most and the best, then all the swords in the world can be used by me.
Just as her thoughts were racing, thinking about how to build a new social network, a clear voice suddenly sounded from the outside of the crowd and clearly reached everyone's ears:
"In the lower Minshan Sword Sect, in Heshan Mountain, I just saw Ye Shou's amazing swordsmanship, and I feel itchy. I came here to ask for some tips!"
With the sound of strange footsteps that sounded like stepping on empty space, a vitality bridge that was completely transparent and slightly distorted in light naturally formed in the sky above the path from the audience area to the center of Bijianping, and eventually spanned hundreds of feet.
A middle-aged man wearing a sapphire-colored robe, with a face as clean and delicate as white jade, floated in the air like a fleeting image. In the blink of an eye, he landed on the Dui Gua pillar on the 100-foot square platform. After standing still,
He cupped his hands and bowed to Zhao Qing at the Sword Observation Platform and Qian Gua Pillar.
"It turns out to be a senior from Minshan. I'm disrespectful."
Seeing that someone finally came up to the stage to challenge, and the momentum displayed was extraordinary, Zhao Qing also returned the gift and said calmly: "The world-recognized strongest sword-cultivating sect must have its own uniqueness. Today I can see the master of Minshan."
Swordsmanship is also a blessing."
He Shanjian smiled slightly, with a hint of arrogance in his expression: "Sir Ye, I'm so honored. Although Minshan established his sect with swordsmanship, he is not the strongest. The world is huge, and there are many strange people and strange people."
There are so many people out there, who dares to pretend to be the first?"
"On the other hand, Chief Ye is a woman and has cultivated to such a level at a young age. I am deeply impressed by this, and I know that I am extremely talented. Although He is a few years older, he has not accumulated too many years of cultivation.
If Zhan can't show some real skills, I'm afraid he will make a fool of himself."
"Senior is so complimentary."
The two exchanged a few words of business talk, and after the scene was over, He Shanjian finally got to the point. He looked serious and solemnly said: "Sir Ye, please come!"
Before he finished speaking, he pointed his fingers together like a sword and lightly slashed towards the void in front of him.
In an instant, a loud sword chant was heard, as if a hidden dragon emerged from the abyss, and a snow-white beam of light that was extremely bright, almost as good as the scorching sun in the sky, immediately rose into the sky, reflected in the sky, and rose straight to an altitude of more than a thousand feet.
, and then gradually dissipated.
And with the appearance of this sword light, an extremely cold but sharp killing intent instantly filled the entire Bijianping, and even spread to the vast world outside Nie Garden, and...
The stone floor near the Dui Gua Pillar was stained with a light frosty white color.
Many spectators with weaker cultivation shuddered unconsciously under the influence of this sword intent, and hurriedly used their skills to resist. They felt a sense of respect for the Minshan Sword Sect, secretly thinking that this was indeed the Great Qin Dynasty.
One of the two strongest sects.
The eyes of those warriors who came from major cultivation sects or had military positions in the army lit up, and their faces showed a bit of solemnity and expectation. They knew that this elder of the Minshan Sword Sect was not just going on stage to go through the motions.
Ordinary people who add to the effectiveness of the program.
"It's actually one of Minshan's true secret scriptures. The starting position of "Seven Lights Nurturing Sword" is light cold and shining water. It's such a strong sword power!"
"You have such an aura just from the start. Elder He's swordsmanship and cultivation level are probably higher than expected. Maybe he can really force the full power of Chief Ye, which will be an eye-opener for us."
"Minshan swordsmanship is well-deserved..."
"I heard that those who can directly enter the Minshan Sword Sect and the Lingxu Sword Sect can be described as monsters. Compared with them, most geniuses can simply be described as useless... But this one
Elder He can stand out among many true legends. This..."
"Zhao Zhan, the seventh disciple of Zhao Jianlu, was killed by the leader of the Night Division a month ago. Logically speaking, the elders of the Minshan Sword Sect should not be weaker than the remnants of the Zhao Kingdom. It seems that this is probably a real fight between dragons and tigers.
."
"Why is this person's name not on the roster of Hongyang Academy? Could it be that he intervened to participate in the Sword Club on a temporary basis?"
"This is going to be a great show. I wonder if the Chief of the Night Division can continue his previous winning streak and win another victory?"
Amidst the whispers all around, Zhao Qing, who was standing on the Qian Gua Pillar, also raised his eyebrows slightly. He noticed the majestic true energy and sharpness contained in the opponent's sword, and his face showed
With a serious look on his face, he looked carefully at the natal sword held by the opponent.
It was a three-foot-long sword that seemed to be made of ice and snow. It had quickly condensed into shape in He Shanjian's hand. The crystal clear sword body exuded a faint cold air. One look at it and it was clear that it was extraordinary.
"This sword is called 'Mountain Snow Soul'. It is taken from the eternal ice and snow on the top of Minshan Mountain. It was made using the unique sword-making secret method of our Minshan Sword Sect. It took thirty-three months to make it. The sword is now complete."
On that day, there were celestial phenomena, wind and snow, and cold air, so he was given this name."
He Shanjian stroked the blade of the sword, his eyes showing deep attachment and pride, as if he was introducing his most cherished child. Then, he looked up at Zhao Qing and said in a loud voice:
"Chief Ye, you must have lost your true energy due to your sword fights just now. He is not talented, but he doesn't want to take advantage of you."
"That's it, I will start with the Minshan Sword Sect's first sword, the "Seven Light Nourishing Sword", and learn a few moves with you. This sword technique is as gentle as water, has the effect of nourishing Qi, calming the mind, and restoring vitality.
How about I let you take the opportunity to adjust your breathing a little and adjust your condition to the best?"
The first sword for beginners? Minshan True Disciples can only practice preliminary practice after entering the Five Realms of Divine Mind, and there will be many changes and advanced techniques in the future. The "Seven Lights Cultivation Sword" was actually called the entry-level swordsmanship by him.
, it really gave "Ye Ce Leng" enough face.
Of course, anyone who understands will know that this is nothing more than superficial politeness and false humility.
The real purpose of this elder of the Minshan Sword Sect is to show the strength of the sect through this method, and at the same time, to show his broad mind and respect for the other side of the competition.
After all, if "Ye Ce Leng" really loses in the sword competition, people will only remember that the master surnamed He of the Minshan Sword Sect gave the chief of the Supervisory Heaven Division time and opportunity to adjust his breath and recover.
It was "Ye Ce Leng" who failed to grasp it that led to this defeat.
"In that case, I would like to thank you, Senior He, for your understanding."
Zhao Qing couldn't tell what the other party was thinking, but he didn't take it seriously. After bowing his hands and thanking him, he summoned the water sword, placed it horizontally on his chest, and put on a defensive posture, waiting for He Shanjian's official move.
