Chapter 270 Heart Sword Inheritance and Qi Sword Inheritance
Shushan world is a small world.
Just like the Ming Dynasty now has several small worlds, Liaozhai World also has an extremely large number of small worlds.
Even compared to the Ming Dynasty, there are more small worlds here, and the largest ones are even as huge as the earth that once had no spiritual energy recovery.
For example, the devil world and the ghost world are such small worlds.
One of these two small worlds is filled with evil energy and ordinary creatures cannot survive. The temperature is extremely low for a period and remains around zero all year round. It is also not suitable for ordinary people to live.
But there are also small worlds that are suitable for ordinary creatures to survive.
This is the Buddhist world, the Shushan world that Zhu Biao is now preparing to enter.
Zhu Biao has never been to the Buddhist world, and since Buddhism has never revealed to the outside world what is going on in the Buddhist world, Zhu Biao does not know what is going on there.
But now after entering the Shushan world, he was really shocked.
The spiritual energy here is at least a hundred times richer than the outside world. A huge waterfall in the distance falls directly from the sky. When he got closer, Zhu Biao discovered that the waterfall flowing down was not water at all, but spiritual energy.
liquid.
"Brother Qin, you Shushan are really rich!"
Zhu Biao couldn't help but asked with emotion: "Brother Qin, can you tell me how you turned the spiritual energy into such spiritual liquid?"
"And why is the spiritual energy in the Shushan world so much richer than the outside world?"
"Haha, I don't know much about this. Shushan has always been maintained by the elders in the sect, but I know that the Shushan world was actually a part of the human world. Later, several of us Sword Immortals from Shushan used their methods to follow the human world.
separated from the world.”
"Furthermore, it seems that there has always been a spirit-gathering array operating day and night in Shushan, constantly absorbing spiritual energy from the human world. Over time, it has become what it is now."
Speaking of this, Qin Yong couldn't help but explain: "In fact, it's not just us in Shushan, but also many large sects and small worlds. The one that absorbs the human world's spiritual energy the most is actually the fairy world, and 70% of the human world's spiritual energy is absorbed.
It was sucked away by the fairy world."
Zhu Biao nodded after hearing this.
He had discovered this a long time ago.
After all, the spiritual energy of the human world is not even as rich as the Ming Dynasty today, but this world is a mature, high-level extraordinary world.
If only the spiritual energy of the Ming Dynasty was as strong as it is now, it would be impossible for so many immortals to appear.
Apparently the spiritual energy was gathered by the immortals using the spirit gathering array and sent to some cave heaven paradise.
In fact, the same is true for Nanjing City in the Lingwu Daming plane, which is also gathering the spiritual energy of the entire Ming Dynasty, and even the entire world.
However, this is not the spirit gathering array arranged by Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao, but the dragon vein running through half of the world under Nanjing City is at work.
This dragon vein is equivalent to a natural large-scale spirit gathering array, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy all the time and gathering it towards Nanjing City.
However, time is still very short now. In another hundred years, the spiritual energy in Nanjing City may be as rich as Shushan today.
After crossing this spiritual liquid waterfall, you will find the real gate of Shushan Sword Sect behind it.
Although Shushan is called Shushan, it is not just one mountain. It is composed of 72 peaks of various sizes.
What opened Zhu Biao's eyes even more was that all these seventy-two mountains were floating in mid-air, and all of them were covered by magic circles.
Seen from a distance, the seventy-two peaks are shrouded in layers of clouds and mist, and from time to time there are cranes passing through the clouds and mist, which looks extremely beautiful.
To be honest, the appearance here is at least 80% similar to the fairyland in Zhu Biao's fantasy.
"This is my Seventy-Two Peaks of Shu Mountain!"
"The main body of these seventy-two peaks is actually seventy-two swords. These swords together form the mountain-protecting formation of Shu Mountain, the Killing Immortal Sword Formation."
"This sword formation was set up by my sixth-generation ancestor of Shu Mountain at the cost of his own life before he died. With this great formation protecting Shu Mountain, if its power is fully activated, even if all the immortals in the world come,
Attacking Shushan can also protect Shushan from danger." Qin Yong spoke with a tone full of glory.
"Has this formation ever been fully activated?" Xiao Qing next to him asked curiously.
"No!"
Qin Yong chuckled and said: "We in Shushan have always kept aloof from the world, so no matter whether it is Buddhism, Taoism, ghost world or demon world, no one will come to attack us in Shushan."
"After all, no matter who dares to come, we and the sword cultivators will definitely make them pay the price."
Listening to Qin Yong bragging about the history of Shushan, Zhu Biao stood aside and nodded in agreement, but in his heart he was very clear-minded.
Qin Yong's words can only be heard. The real history of Shushan is not so glorious, and it may even involve more humiliation and compromise.
I'm afraid even Qin Yong himself doesn't know about these things, but Zhu Biao knows a little better about the secrets of Shushan because of Jin Yiwei's continuous investigation.
If nothing else,
Qin Yong's statement that Shushan has never been attacked is completely nonsense.
Not to mention the distant past, just seven thousand years ago, Shushan almost suffered a disaster that destroyed the sect.
At that time, Shushan was far from what it is now. At that time, Shushan was still known as the branch of the Demon Realm, and the sword cultivators in it were called Demon Zaizi, who were the pioneers and thugs of the Demon Realm that invaded the human world.
That era was the last glory of the devil, and both Taoism and Buddhism could only take a defensive stance.
And Shushan, with its back to the demon world, is naturally even more unscrupulous.
At that time, the reputation of Shushan Sword Cultivator was widely spread throughout the world, and even had the intention of suppressing Buddhism and Taoism.
But the backlash soon came. Buddhism and Taoism, together with the imperial family of the Song Dynasty, suddenly launched a war to attack Shushan.
The details of that battle are completely unknown to this day, but according to the clues obtained by Jinyiwei's investigation, the gate of Shushan Mountain was breached at that time.
It was also at the beginning of that battle that the demon world began to completely switch from offense to defense. The demons who had been active in the human world for the next seven thousand years had long been completely forgotten by mortals.
The final result of this battle was that Shushan completely distanced itself from the demon world and shrank its own power, leaving only Cangcheng in the human world for communication purposes.
In Zhu Biao's view, this was an alliance under the city.
The history of the following seven thousand years also fully illustrates this point. In the extremely long years that followed, Shushan almost became the dog of Taoism and Buddhism. In turn, it began to resist the demon world and the ghost world, and became a pioneer of chivalry and righteousness.
This is also the origin of their title of Sword Madman.
In Zhu Biao's view, Shushan Sword Cultivator looks a bit taller, but in fact the inner history is just the growth history of a young man in his teens.
Of course, Shushan will never talk about these things himself.
"Junior, look at your expression, do you not believe what my disciple says?" Suddenly a voice suddenly sounded in Zhu Biao's mind.
Zhu Biao couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this.
He raised his head and looked around, but found nothing. Even Qin Yong and Xiao Qing next to him did not hear the voice that suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Sword Immortal?" Zhu Biao couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart, and instantly understood the identity of the other party.
If he wasn't the Sword Immortal, this person would never be able to do it so unnoticed if he wanted to transmit messages to him through the air.
"Huh!" Suddenly Zhu Biao felt a trance in front of his eyes, and the next moment he suddenly appeared in a hall.
A figure sat cross-legged in the hall, with white eyebrows, white hair, and white clothes. He looked very old, as if a weak gust of wind could blow him over.
But Zhu Biao did not dare to underestimate him at all.
In the supernatural world, the older a person is, the more dangerous they are, especially an existence like this that seems to be about to die in the next moment, which is even more frightening.
Because he might suddenly jump out at the next moment and chop down a mountain with one sword.
"I've met senior!" Zhu Biao saluted the old man respectfully.
"Zhu Biao...!"
"I know you."
The old man looked at Zhu Biao with great interest: "Listen to my disciple, do you want to join Shushan?"
"Yes!" Zhu Biao bowed respectfully again and spoke firmly at the same time.
No matter what he thinks in his heart, at this time, he will naturally agree without hesitation.
And to be honest, he really yearns for Shushan. Regardless of how much dark history it has, when it comes to playing swordsmanship, even ten Ming Dynasties can't beat Shushan.
The Shushan Sword Sect has been studying the way of swordsmanship for 100,000 years.
As for the Ming Dynasty, it only took a mere hundred years for it to advance to the extraordinary level.
There is absolutely no comparison between the two.
For Zhu Biao, who had a fairy sword hidden in his body, he naturally wanted to learn Shushan's swordsmanship to enhance his own strength.
"Yes, I can make the decision now and let you join Shushan and become an outer disciple."
I can even tell you a top-secret news, the exact location of Fairy Sword Yaoguang in the Sword Tomb, and its preferences. When the sword tomb is tested, I can also give you a talisman sword with my Shushan on it.
The laws and regulations can reduce the test set by Xianjian Yaoguang by 70%."
"It can be said that with my help, as long as you are not too stupid, your chances of getting the sword and recognizing it as its master will increase to 80%."
"Is this still allowed? Isn't this naked cheating?" Zhu Biao was vomiting in his heart, but his face was filled with ecstasy.
"Very good!"
"Thank you, senior, for your cultivation." He bowed and saluted the old man.
"Don't be too happy first. If you want me to do this, there are conditions." The old man said with a smile.
"Sure enough!" Zhu Biao narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that there would be no such thing as a pie in the sky.
"What conditions?" he asked.
"Wusheng Pavilion was merged into Shushan and became a subordinate sect of Shushan. The martial arts geniuses selected during the period must be sent to Shushan regularly to learn swordsmanship."
"this……!"
"Didn't Shushan stop being born a long time ago?" Zhu Biao asked doubtfully.
"That was before, and this situation will soon change!"
The old man suddenly stood up and drew out a sword beside him. He took one step forward and appeared directly in front of Zhu Biao, slashing at Zhu Biao with his sword.
"Dang!" Zhu Biao thought, and a round shield suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Senior, what do you mean by this?" Zhu Biao asked doubtfully.
He didn't feel murderous intent from the old man, but this sudden move still left Zhu Biao a little confused.
"Use your martial arts skills!" The old man did not answer Zhu Biao but was suddenly shocked, knocking Zhu Biao back three or four steps.
At the same time, he stretched out his hand, and the long sword in his hand suddenly filled with cold air, and then slashed towards Zhu Biao with another sword.
"Boom!" Zhu Biao's whole body was filled with the energy of the true phoenix, and his figure suddenly turned into an afterimage. He jumped behind the old man and punched out.
The most powerful means of martial arts are close combat and perfect control of the body.
Coupled with the powerful attack power, it can be said that as long as a warrior approaches, even a higher-level immortal cultivator will not be able to gain any benefit.
"laugh……!"
The old man's reaction was extremely quick. He swung the long sword in his hand and struck it directly between Zhu Biao's eyebrows.
If Zhu Biao insists on punching, he will definitely be stabbed between the eyebrows by the long sword first.
Facing the sword in the hands of the Sword Immortal, Zhu Biao did not dare to exaggerate at all. Even though he knew that the Sword Immortal had no killing intent, he was still unwilling to take risks.
With one foot firmly on the ground, he quickly moved sideways to the old man's side, and then punched out again.
The old man still used his sword, and he still struck last and struck first.
Both of them were extremely fast. Zhu Biao's figure could no longer be seen. All he could see was a series of afterimages surrounding the old man, constantly trying to attack. However, the sword net around the old man was dancing airtight, no matter what Zhu Biao did.
Even if you attack, you can't touch even a single strand of his clothes.
"We in Shushan actually have two kendo inheritances!"
"The method of the Heart Sword focuses on cultivating the mind. This is an invincible path. Although it is powerful, it is not suitable for the general public. It belongs to the top inheritance of Shushan and is the only inheritance of our Shushan now."
"There is another type of swordsmanship that cultivates the Qi Sword. To put it simply, it is to condense the sword energy in one's body, and then let this sword energy continuously absorb the spiritual energy, gradually grow stronger, and eventually feed back to oneself and enhance the strength."
"The method of Qi Sword is a universal method. This swordsmanship inheritance can be practiced by anyone with or without spiritual roots. This inheritance was created by an amazingly talented ancestor from Shushan three thousand years ago. However, from the creation of this inheritance to the present,
We, Shushan, have never disclosed it to the public, let alone allowed any disciples to practice it."
While fighting Zhu Biao, the old man spoke normally.
Zhu Biao didn't have any reaction when he heard about the Heart Sword method, because Qin Yong practiced the Heart Sword. Although Qin Yong had not disclosed the inheritance of the Heart Sword in Shushan before, he also explained the basic logic of the Heart Sword to Zhu Biao a little bit.
But the method of Qi Sword made Zhu Biao a little surprised.
Because this so-called Qi Sword inheritance sounds like a martial arts inheritance.
It's just changing the true energy into sword energy.
"That's it!" Zhu Biao suddenly realized that he finally understood what the old man meant.
Wusheng Pavilion's martial arts inheritance and Shushan's Qi Sword inheritance are very similar. It can even be said that they are both based on the method of Dantian cultivation. No wonder Shushan would like Wusheng Pavilion and want to take over Wusheng Pavilion as its own.
Nowadays, the Wusheng Pavilion has been spread throughout the Song Empire. If the entire Song Dynasty takes refuge in Shushan, and Shushan continues to spread the method of Qi Sword, then Shushan will probably be able to have millions more sword cultivators immediately.
