Chapter 494 Missing, Killing Needle

Xu Yuanchang laughed and floated to the ground, saying, "Look carefully."

He drew out his stick sword and pretended to stab a protruding rock on the opposite mountain. His slow movements contained the mystery of the great Dao, and the process of the stick sword becoming virtual and then becoming real was like a set of slow-motion movements.

The stick sword pierced the rock several miles away, and "puff", leaving a fist-sized hole.

"Stretching out the sword is 'real', stabbing it out and gathering strength is 'virtual', and hitting the target is 'real' again. The two transformation processes in between can be understood as passing through a 'gate'. Even if the target is a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand miles away, it only takes one strike to reach the target..."

Xu Yuanchang copied the original teachings of Mr. Wu and carefully explained the key to "seeing through the heaven and earth, and realizing that nothingness is the one".

He did not avoid his nephew and niece-in-law. They were all family members, and Old Wu did not ask him not to spread the news.

It is not easy to understand the theory that "Dongxu" is a door and the two transformation processes between virtual and real. He is proficient in the way of "emptiness and tranquility", and has also comprehended the "nothingness" and "image" in the inner illusion technique. There are similarities between them, so he can find the trick of learning.

Yu Fengwu placed his left index and middle fingers on his forehead, closed his eyes and thought, with tiny sword energies jumping around his body.

Gu Yunzhu slowly walked into the side hall, trying to figure out the mystery of the sect master's sword move just now. She did not learn swordsmanship, but the virtual and real process of that sword move touched her, and it was in line with the way of the stars that she mastered.

Xu Shengtian smiled and shook his head. He didn't want to learn any magical power that looked troublesome.

He was currently concentrating on protecting and irrigating the important tree seedlings and could not be distracted, so he turned around and walked towards the back mountain.

At dusk, Yu Fengwu woke up from his thoughts and walked to the courtyard halfway up the mountain. Seeing the sect master drinking tea and reading a book, he asked, "Now that the matter here is over, are you going to the Sinking and Floating Domain next, or are you going back to the sect to rest for a while?"

Xu Yuanchang poured a cup of tea for the man opposite him and said, "I'm going to go to the Great Wilderness Mountain Region first to talk with Master Tongyuan. What about you? Is there any good place to go?"

Yu Fengwu took a sip of tea and apologized, "I originally wanted to go to the Sinking and Floating Domain with you for adventure, but time is running out. I have to go to a sword cave that my master has set up in the Jade Ruins Domain to train for at least sixty years. I can't let you fall too far behind."

She suffered a setback, realized her own shortcomings, and was eager to improve.

Her master, a great swordsman of the tenth floor, arranged secret sword caves of different difficulties for her future training.

The two of them missed each other several times and could not walk in the same direction, so they both followed the path of their respective masters.

Xu Yuanchang understood the other party's pride as a sword cultivator, and said: "After returning to the sect, I will go to the Miaowang Sect in Liulitian of the Shenfu Domain, and may stay there for decades."

He touched the edge of the path of transformation.

You need to go to more dangerous places to gain experience and see different cultivation scenery.

There are nine realms in the Sinking and Floating Domain, namely Liuli Heaven, Xuyan Heaven, Nanli Heaven, Jiran Heaven, Beiyou Heaven, Yingsheng Heaven, Kuruo Heaven, Taixiao Heaven and Lingxu Heaven. One needs to travel through the void to reach each realm.

The top three heavens, Kurong Heaven, Taixiao Heaven and Lingxu Heaven, are often visited by cultivators from other upper realms.

For example, high-level Black Spirit monks are frequent visitors to the upper three days, and fighting with local monks is commonplace.

"When I come out of the sword cave, if you haven't returned to the sect, I will go to Miaowang Sect to find you."

"Okay. How well have you comprehended the 'Empty Sword'?"

Seeing that Yu Fengwu refused to mention anything about learning sword, Xu Yuanchang took the initiative to ask.

Yu Fengwu smiled and said, "I have learned it. It may take another three or two months to master it. Don't you believe me? I will show you how to do it."

She had always been very quick at learning sword skills, but this time it took her almost a whole day, which was considered slow.

He stood up and walked to the yard, holding the sword in his hand, closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes and stabbed diagonally upwards. "Puff", a horizontal branch of an ancient tree with a thickness of two arms and a hug about thirty feet away from the courtyard wall was pierced off.

Yu Fengwu performed a very handsome sword move, sheathed the sword, and turned his head to look at the sect leader with a smile in his eyes.

Xu Yuanchang was beaten to a mess in the dusk. Although the swordsmanship displayed by Yu Fengwu was somewhat different from his, this evildoer learned it too quickly.

He spent ten years on it and considered himself a genius.

"You go, you go."

"Hehe, the Patriarch taught well. The explanation was detailed and easy to understand. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to find the secret of that sword."

"No, you must teach me a sword technique that is simple, easy to learn, and extremely powerful."

"This is difficult for me. It's easy for me to learn. Ha, I didn't mean you're stupid... Don't go. I'll make up a sword technique suitable for you to practice. It's simple and crude. Combined with your previous 'sword moves', you should be able to learn it."

Yu Fengwu deliberately attacked and quickly grabbed the sect leader who was about to leave.

Everyone has their own talents. She learned too much too quickly and dabbled in a wide range of sword techniques. As a result, she was not as good as the sect leader who was the early bird that caught the worm and worked hard to perfect those few moves every day.

For example, the sect master has been practicing the basic Dahuo Luodoushu for a long time, trying to integrate it with various escape techniques and body movements, while maintaining the essence of Luodoushu, and displaying it into a new and unpredictable great magical power.

She was greatly inspired and decided to change her mindset.

After learning from the strengths of others, one should focus on the perception of the state of mind, simplify things and explore the true meaning of swordsmanship.

At midnight that day, Xu Yuanchang said goodbye and left. He traveled through the Dexianzhou Peninsula in the Great Wilderness Mountain Area. It was just when the sun was rising. From a distance, he could see the snow-capped mountain that stood out from the crowd, with a thin mist surrounding the top of the mountain.

When they landed at the foot of the mountain, Xu Yuanchang clasped his fists and saluted: "Master Tongyuan, Xu Yuanchang comes here with gifts to express his gratitude. I beg to see you."

After waiting for a long time, the cold wind was howling, but there was no reply. He used his spiritual sense to scan the top of the mountain. There was a stone house in the snow, the door was half open, and ice crystals condensed on the ground. The old monk was nowhere to be found. He walked up the mountain as if he had lost something.

I climbed to the top of the mountain, walked to the stone house built against the huge rock, and knocked on the half-open stone door.

Then he pushed open the heavy, cold stone door, stepped over the threshold and walked into the dim room.

After three steps, Xu Yuanchang suddenly saw several figures of different shapes standing in the corners, frozen like ice sculptures, standing motionless. It was too late for him to get out of the stone house, as countless transparent needles shot towards him from all directions.

The surrounding environment changed drastically, and he was in a boundless world of ice and snow.

Xu Yuanchang cursed inwardly. The weird old monk had gone, but he left behind a deceptive magical trap.

Blazing flames surged from his body, his phantom armor shone with colorful light, and the Windless Sword whistled and circled, destroying the ice crystal needles one by one. What made him feel troubled was that he could not feel the blessed land of Qiyuntai.

The sounds of "bang bang bang" continued incessantly, and the shattered ice crystals turned into a cold mist around him.

He didn't dare to move, as he couldn't figure out whether he was in an illusion or was being dragged into a secret place without anyone noticing.
However, endless needles kept shooting at it. After a long time, a layer of ice crystals covered the surface of the Windless Sword, which could not be shaken off. The sword's speed gradually decreased. More and more cold needles penetrated the sword curtain, fighting against the flames. Occasionally, a few of them hit the surface of the phantom armor and disintegrated into ice powder.

Xu Yuanchang observed and quickly thought of a way to break the deadlock.

The old monk could not guess based on common sense, he must have used his supernatural powers to predict that he would come to thank him.

If you think positively, the old monk set up this game to sharpen his spirit and body? Or let him learn something from it? But the old monk had already repaid him in an alternative way last time, so it was impossible for him to benefit him again for no reason.

The old monk who could cultivate to this level has no worldly compassion.

If you think in the worst case scenario, the old monk would just set up a trap to trap him to death after returning the favor, but... Buddhism talks about cause and effect.

He had no grudge against the old monk and his motive was not valid.

The Wufeng Sword could not bear the weight, so Xu Yuanchang waved his hand and put it into space.

Soon the flame consumption could not keep up, and he had to let the fire spirit emerge from his body to fight against the strange needle.

He continued to speculate in his mind, combining what Mu Xiaoxiao and Lin Sanren said about the old monk's past. He boldly assumed that the old monk set up this trap to give him benefits, but the reason was unknown.

With a change of mind, he entered the mindset of the observer by keeping quiet, and used his spiritual eyes and consciousness to observe the ice needles that were shot at him in an irregular manner.

The needles, each as thin as a hair, seemed three points slower in his eyes.

The acupuncture needles melted in the flame with a "hiss", taking away a tiny trace of energy. The fire spirit became a little busy as the densely packed acupuncture needles kept consuming energy.

Occasionally, a few needles would pass through the gaps in the flames and hit the surface of the phantom armor that was flowing like a curtain of light, causing tiny ripples.

Xu Yuanchang suddenly noticed something strange. The acupuncture needles consumed the power of rules. It seemed weak and insignificant, but it could not withstand the huge amount of continuous consumption. He suddenly felt that he had found the point to break the deadlock.

He took out the Heavenly Stele and with a "bang", the huge stele fell to the ground.

He leaned his back against the stele, without any worries.

Mobilizing the Yin and Yang flames, he used his profound powers to condense the Yin and Yang fire into needles, which collided head-on with the incoming ice needles.

The success rate at the beginning was terrible, but as he kept adjusting the refining method and adding the power of fire and ice rules, he was gradually able to destroy the ice needles.

When he mastered this technique and could hit half of the needles, he suddenly returned from the world of ice and snow to the dark stone house.

A piece of paper fluttered down from the roof above.

"You helped me to achieve perfection, and I will repay you with a killing needle."

Xu Yuanchang took the piece of paper with a smile on his face. The old monk was still as deceptive as ever.

Countless images flashed before his eyes. The old monk taught the complete method of killing needle through paper. It was able to draw on the rules of heaven and earth and launch endless attacks.

Xu Yuanchang guessed that if he couldn't discover the secret of the ice needle, he might not be able to learn this secret technique.

He stood there thinking for nearly an hour, and when he opened his eyes again, he had completely learned the magical power of utilizing the power of rules.

The piece of paper in his hand turned to ashes without him knowing when. He clapped his hands, looked around the simple and empty stone chamber, and walked to an ice sculpture at the side. He found that the ice sculpture was still alive and blinked at him.

He waved his hand and used Yin Fire to remove the ice crystals covering the bodies of several monks.

After a while, the five monks, who had recovered a little, bowed and expressed their gratitude. According to the rules of the Great Wilderness Mountain Area, each of them took out a magic weapon to express their gratitude for saving their lives.

Xu Yuanchang waved his hand and asked several sixth-floor monks to leave. He accepted the treasures as thank-you gifts, pinched his fingers to activate the ring and returned to the blessed land.

After three months of meditation on the Wuxin Platform in the blessed land, Xu Yuanchang reviewed his fight with Nan Yuhe and summed up his experience. Then he returned to Dengxian Temple and heard from Liu Xianfeng that Yu Fengwu had gone to Yuxu Territory for training.

I made a special trip to Lintianmen to thank Mu Xiaoxiao and ask her some questions about the Chenfu Domain and Liulitian.

Half a year later, Xu Yuanchang took the cross-border teleportation array and first arrived at the Shenmu Ancient City in the Yuxu Domain, and then teleported to Liulitian in the Chenfu Domain.
