ninety thousand miles

Chapter 433 Small success
Elder Mi escorted them out of Sword Island. When they walked out of the corridor, he took out two talismans and gave them to Li Chuan and Mu Ling respectively, saying, "If you want to come to Sword Island in the future, just come directly."

He said to Li Chuan, "Take this, the sword on the Sword Island. If you don't provoke it, it won't embarrass you."

Li Chuan quickly put away the talisman.

"Uncle Master, are you going out?" Mu Ling asked.

Elder Mi shook his head and said, "A lot of people have come to Tianju Mountain recently, and some things cannot be avoided."

Li Chuan guessed that what Elder Mi was talking about was the disciples of the Tianyu Sect and Xuanyue Sect coming to the Four Gods Palace.

The two of them thanked Elder Mi again and left.

In the next few days, Li Chuan often went to Jiandao for walks.

Every time he went there, he would run into Mu Ling. After Mu Ling finished his practice, he would ask him some questions. Although Mu Ling thought Li Chuan's questions were all very strange, he tried his best to answer them. Occasionally, Elder Mi would come, and Li Chuan would ask Elder Mi questions that Mu Ling couldn't answer. After thinking for a while, Elder Mi did not answer directly, but asked directly: "Are you going to integrate the sword formation into the magic weapon?"

"No," Li Chuan denied it first, then he felt that Elder Mi's summary was quite correct, so he changed the subject and said, "It does mean that, but it's not a sword formation. It's something that looks a bit like a sword formation. It was originally inside a device, and I want to refine it."

Elder Mi said, "Then it's not a sword formation."

"It's indeed not." Li Chuan said.

Elder Mi said: "What drives the sword formation is not just strength, but the heart."

"Then how can we be attentive?" Li Chuan asked.

"Look more and think more," said Elder Mi.

Li Chuan agreed.

After Elder Mi left, Mu Ling noticed that Li Chuan looked disappointed, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Li Chuan said: "I just don't have much confidence in my own understanding."

"Then how did you comprehend the "Texture Sutra"? " Mu Ling was very curious.

Li Chuan was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Finally, he said, "Just look at it more, try to remember it, and then guess various things. You will always get it right a few times."

“Isn’t this enlightenment?” Mu Ling said.

"Is this it?" Li Chuan was still very skeptical.

"It's all the same." Mu Ling said, "I practice sword formations every day, trying my best to get closer to the scenes I saw in Ganyu Canyon."

Li Chuan was relieved and said, "So my understanding is okay?"

"Of course, why do you think it's not possible?" Mu Ling asked.

"Maybe..." Li Chuan thought for a while, "Maybe because I can't write poetry?" He originally wanted to say that he couldn't study, but he was a scholar after all, so it was not appropriate to say that.

"Which serious monk would write poetry for nothing?" Mu Ling suddenly thought of something and said, "Didn't you say that you can enter a mysterious state?"

"That's right." Li Chuan said.

"What does my sword formation look like to you in this state?" Mu Ling asked.

Li Chuan replied: "It will be decomposed into some structures and show some rules..."

He tried his best to describe it. "Then you can help me take a look." Mu Ling said, "I always feel that there is something I have overlooked. Uncle Mi just wants me to understand. Looking at it from a different perspective may give me some inspiration."

Li Chuan agreed and said, "Okay, I'll try." He sat down and said, "Go ahead, I'll tell you if I see anything."

"Okay, I'll show you how Ten Thousand Swords Open the Sky Gate again." Mu Ling was very excited.

"Are you feeling better?" Li Chuan asked.

"Okay, I'm well now." Mu Ling said as he began to practice his Qigong.

"Try to go slowly." After Li Chuan finished speaking, he also concentrated his mind and entered a mysterious state.

After wandering around the Sword Island for so long, Li Chuan had figured out some tricks. This time, when he looked at Mu Ling's sword formation, he was no longer confused by the ever-changing arrangement, but found the center of the formation. Then, he took the center of the formation and moved outwards little by little.

"Stop for a moment." Li Chuan said, and then he came out of the state.

Mu Ling stopped the sword formation in mid-air as instructed.

Li Chuan asked: "Does this sword formation have five basic variations?"

"How did you know that?" Mu Ling was stunned for a moment, then he asked, "Did you see what my problem is?"

"I don't know. I just feel that there is a change that is not complete. It's like..." Li Chuan organized his words and said, "It's like it was supposed to turn, but you didn't give it the power, so it was carried over by other changes. So the overall power is not enough."

Mu Ling thought for a moment and said, "I think I understand. Wait a minute, I'll try again."

Then, Li Chuan saw the sword array falling on the Sword Island again and again. At first, he was interested in counting the number of times it fell, but when the number exceeded three digits, he gave up. He looked at the sky and planned to persuade Mu Ling that there was still a long time to come and not to worry about one day or one moment.

After looking at the sky for a while, he vaguely felt something. He turned around and found that Elder Mi had stood behind them at some point.

Li Chuan was about to speak, but Elder Mi waved his hand to signal him not to speak. He understood that Mu Ling was almost done. So he continued to look at the falling sword.

Finally, when the last ray of skylight dissipated, the twenty-seven swords shone together, and the sword formation formed rushed up into the sky.

Is it done?
Li Chuan looked at Mu Ling. Mu Ling was standing straight with a sullen face, bulging eyes, red eyeballs, staring straight ahead, but his hands were moving slowly and firmly.

The beam of light fell again. This time the sword formation did not disperse, but continued upwards towards the light and rushed out of it, like a meteor streaking through the night sky.

"I did it!" Mu Ling shouted loudly, and the next moment he rushed towards Li Chuan, "Li Chuan, I did it!" He saw the elder and rushed over in two steps, "Uncle Mi, I did it, I really did it!"

Elder Mi also showed a smile on his face, "You should go and thank Li Chuan. Without his advice, it would probably take at least a year and a half for you to realize what you have today."

"Yes, yes, yes." Mu Ling jumped to Li Chuan again, stood firmly, and then bowed politely.

Li Chuan accepted it with an open mind, and then asked: "Have you reached a minor level of success in the sword formation now?"

Mu Ling said, "I have officially embarked on the path of sword formation. How much I can achieve in the future depends on my own understanding and efforts. Brother Li, do you still need to see the sword formation for the one you want to refine? I will demonstrate it to you. What kind do you want to see?"

"Let's do it another day," Li Chuan said, "It's late today. I'll come to see you another day. I really need to take a closer look."

Mu Ling finally realized that it was already night, and he said, "Come on, I'll treat you to a big meal. Let's go roast a spiritual beast. Uncle Mi, let's go together?"

Li Chuan was naturally happy to do so, and to his surprise, Elder Mi actually agreed. So the three of them left Jian Island together and went to the foot of Tianju Mountain.
