Tao and Heaven

Chapter 117 The Power of the Immortal Sword!

The origin of Kendo is the true explanation of Kendo.

Among the thirty-six methods of becoming an immortal, the true solution of the sword and the foundation of the Jade Purity Dao are the easiest to obtain. As long as there is an elder above the Mahayana stage, the first three levels of the former Buddha, Dao, and Demon Sword can be obtained. For example, the first three levels of the Jade Purity Sword Art are the basic skills of the Jade Purity School disciples, and the other Buddha and Demon Swords are similar.

The latter, Jade Purity Taoist foundation, is easier. The Three Purities Taoist sect allows outsiders to learn openly. Although they do not spread the secrets themselves widely, as long as one has enough talent to go to the Three Purities Mountain, the Three Purities Taoist sect will not be stingy in teaching.

But just like most methods of becoming an immortal, very few people have been able to master it over the past thousands of years.

The higher the level of the method, the less strict the secrecy. Just because the difficulty is too high, the sects that have it have reached the point of publicly teaching it in order to find practitioners.

Gu Wen embarked on the sword path, every step seemed to be crossing mountains and rivers, and every step was like climbing a cliff.

His mind was completely immersed in it. He didn't dare to be distracted in any way, and there was no room for him to be distracted.

Below, the mummy behind Jun Yan was muttering crazily:

"The origin of swordsmanship, all methods return to one, the best sword in the world. It's impossible, there is no way anyone can master it."

There is no shortage of crazy people like this in the Zangyuan.

Relying on burial qi to extend lifespan, maybe a few hundred years is fine, but many people are often buried for thousands or tens of thousands of years. At this point, the consumption of lifespan is negligible, and burial qi will bring them to appreciate the meaning of immortality and know what time is.

Time will ruthlessly crush these ants who lie on the dragon and try to glimpse immortality.

The body, cultivation, soul, and will will all decay.

“As a supreme being, how can I allow others to walk with me? How can I allow a mere mortal like you to walk with me! Ahhhhhh!”

Jun Yan grabbed a handful of flesh and blood, revealing a bit of facial bones. The celestial corpse fell off his body, and he finally regained some of his sanity.

But he also knew that everything seemed to be too late. Gu Wen climbed the sword path step by step, and none of them had got the scabbard yet.

Turning his head to look at the others, Xiao Yunyi was staring at the magical sword in a daze, the Jade Sword Buddha was looking at Gu Wen, and Chi Yuzi also had a dull look and uncontrollable despair on his face.

Pride is useless at this moment, and Jun Yan also feels an indescribable bitterness.

They couldn’t reach the ninth level without a scabbard, but Gu Wen could reach the top without a scabbard.

They also practiced the three swords, Xiao Yunyi became obsessed with them, but only Gu Wen succeeded.

It’s not that they don’t have the confidence to compete with Gu Wen, but no matter how strong their pride is, it will be broken in the face of the Immortal Sword. The Immortal Sword chose Gu Wen, who could be a waste or a genius that surpasses them.

This gap is enough to make the geniuses at the level of the descendants of the three religions despair.

Just because of one word, fairy!

Immortality is an insurmountable gap, an existence that cannot be reached by relying on talent. Even a powerful person like the Celestial Lord is just a mayfly between the breaths of an immortal. Even a person as eternal as the sun and the moon can be plucked by an immortal, and even a person as vast as the stars can be disturbed by an immortal.

What qualifications do they have to question Xianjian’s choice?

"You don't dare to fight anymore, right?"

A voice resounded throughout the cave, and Akabane, with golden light on his body, strode towards the scabbard in the center.

Her voice woke up the others. She could have taken the scabbard quietly, but her loud voice attracted the attention of others.

It is both upright and courageous.

Her steps became a little chaotic and her breathing became heavy. Akabane knew that she might be going against the will of a supreme being, but she had no choice.

"No matter if it's destiny or fate, I'm determined to get this sword! You said it as if I'm obeying you. Even if I'm a fairy, I'll go against it!"

Jun Yan subconsciously drove the Great Demon Virtual Image to interfere, but this time a Yaksha had just approached Chiyuzi a hundred steps, and punched out a golden light column as thick as a bucket, which instantly annihilated the virtual image and left a deep pit with a fist mark in front of the wall of the cave.

The cave sky trembled.

Chi Yuzi turned his head slightly and said coldly: "Jun Yan, you have not disobeyed the will of the immortal, so don't embarrass yourself in front of me."

"."

Jun Yan's eyes were as dark as water, and his hand bones were creaking as he clenched his fists.

Are you crazy? Are you going to fight to the death even if there is no hope?
The others looked at Akabaneko silently, looking at this disabled person with only one soul and one spirit standing in front of the scabbard. Wisps of sword energy from the true sword art were already blocking her and suppressing the oppression of the inferior sword art.

In front of it, Akabaneko's sword-wielding skills are inferior, and she needs to bow her head in submission.

However, the scabbard is not a fairy sword after all, nor is it the sword master of the past. Chiyuzi walked up to it step by step, reached out and grabbed it without hesitation.

Zheng!
The sound of sword echoed throughout the cave, and dazzling sword light flew out from Chiyuzi's palm, bringing up pieces of flesh and blood.

The indestructible body of Vajra, protected by the magical power of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, turned out to be like a mortal body at this moment.

Bang!
Chiyuzi's figure flew backwards, Jun Yan and Xiao Yunyi remained silent, and even the Jade Sword Buddha lowered his head and chanted "Amitabha".

Then a golden light returned to the front of the scabbard in half a breath, and Akabane grabbed the scabbard again without hesitation.

The voice is loud and clear:

"The Mysterious Sect of Heaven and Earth, the root of all Qi. Within and outside the Three Realms, only Tao reigns supreme."

The eyes within the golden cracks on his face were full of energy, as if there was a fire burning, and then spread across his body like a prairie fire. A red-gold glow draped over his body, like a hundred-meter-long cloak fluttering in the wind.

The method of burning blood and life.

"There is a golden light covering my body. I cannot see it, and I cannot hear it."

The scabbard was filled with sword energy again, and the golden light pressed it down. However, the scabbard seemed to be as heavy as ten thousand pounds, and could not be lifted up no matter what.

Jun Yan and others noticed that the aura of the scabbard was connected to the entire cave, just like an array formation penetrated into the earth veins, using the environment to stabilize itself.

Generally, it is impossible to pick it up directly in this situation, and specific means are required to deal with it, which involves formations.

Akabane didn't seem to know how to form a formation, nor did she seem to intend to use any unconventional methods. She just kept exerting herself to increase her strength. Blood began to ooze out of her arm, and it looked particularly bright under the golden light.

She smiled grimly and said:

"Encompassing the heaven and earth, nurturing all living things. Recite it ten thousand times, and your body will be filled with light, so start up!!!"

The scabbard swayed slightly, one inch, one foot, one meter. Akabane held up the dark black scabbard high. Everyone around was stunned. Even Yu Hua couldn't remain calm at this moment.

With the strength of a mortal, he lifted high the scabbard of the immortal sword.

Akabane turned around and turned into a golden light and escaped to the front of the sword path. Holding the scabbard, he took the first step, the second step, and the third step.

The sword path under her feet was like spiked lava, and the scabbard in her hand was like an ancient sacred mountain. Akabane's eyelids were half drooped and could close at any time. She could only grit her teeth and bit her tongue without realizing it.

"The three realms are guarded, the five emperors are in charge of welcoming, the gods are in worship, the thunder is used to scare ghosts and monsters, and the spirits and monsters are killed."

She walked towards Gu Wen step by step, trying her best to follow his back, her hands unconsciously stretching forward.

He was shamelessly calling me senior a month ago, and changed his attitude to call me fellow Taoist half a month ago, but now he seems so distant.

".Golden light appears quickly, protecting my body! You bastard, stop right there!!!"

Akabane took several steps up very quickly. She felt that she had reached her limit and tried her best to grab the corner of Gu Wen's clothes. In the last grab, she pinched the corner with obvious burn marks, and then the fabric tore.

Gu Wen took another step forward, but this insignificant step seemed to make a world of difference.

Snapped!
Akabane's face hit the sword, and her hands could only tightly grasp a piece of burnt cloth. Her eyes dimmed at this moment, and her body could no longer stand up. "Akabane-senpai."

A gentle voice was heard, and Gu Wen came to his senses and turned around to see Akabane lying on the sword path. He then took a step back, and the two were only one step apart.

Just this one step shattered the last fantasy in Akabane's heart.

He still had the energy to turn back.

Gu Wen not only mastered the true meaning of the sword, but also pushed it to the third level. Here, only the sword is important.

"You should go down. Your level is only this level, but it is enough to be proud of. As for the immortal sword, as long as you don't want to monopolize it, I can lend it to you if I can get it."

Using the power of non-swords to resist the pressure of the immortal sword and walk up fifty steps is equivalent to walking half the distance. Akabane has only one soul and one spirit, and the pressure he has to bear is also greater than Gu Wen.

She is not much worse than Gu Wen, but she just doesn't have a true understanding of swordsmanship.

Akabane did not answer and buried her head. It was a bit cruel to ask her to speak at this moment, but it was enough to confirm that her life was not in danger.

And this one sentence of comfort was enough to save her life. Just like Lan Yongning, sometimes it takes a little external force and reason to pull back from the brink.

Gu Wen has other plans for these geniuses who seem like enemies but also friends, but he has to wait until everything is settled. Now he has not got the Immortal Sword, and it is not certain that he will get it.
-
Gu Wen climbed all the way to the top of the Ninth Heaven Quanshan Cave Heaven, and there was only frost and snow-like space around him.

Gu Wen was only ten steps away from the immortal sword. He approached step by step and finally stood in front of the only immortal sword in the world.

The sword is like flying snow, pure as ice.

He stretched out his hand and his palm went straight through the magic sword, and then the magic sword disappeared.

"Ok?"

Before Gu Wen could understand what was happening, his sight was suddenly pulled back, and in an instant he was plunged into a pure white and extremely vast world.

An old Taoist priest was sitting cross-legged in the distance, his hair was as white as snow, his body was thin, and his face was like a sword sculpture with endless sharpness.

The old Taoist opened his eyes and glanced at Gu Wen indifferently. In an instant, it seemed as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing!

Gu Wen suddenly came back to his senses, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and he didn't know when a black scabbard appeared in his hand. The aura of the true sword in his sea of ​​​​qi was intertwined with it, forming a certain connection.

He refined the scabbard, but the sword seemed to be gone? Is the Taoist's sword gone?

Looking inward at his Qi Sea, Gu Wen's agitated emotions subsided by half, and the invisible and intangible sword-fighting truth in his Qi Sea took shape.

The sword is like snow, cold as ice, and has a word "Xian" engraved on the hilt.

Emperor Jiang reacted slightly, and strands of information fell.

[The remnants of the Immortal Sword, the remnants of the Immortal Sword’s enlightenment, the Emperor’s Lava can give birth to and materialize it]

Gu Wen's eyes widened slightly, his mind was filled with thoughts, countless ideas and known information flashed through his mind.
There is currently a good news and a bad news. The bad news is that the magic sword is no longer there, and only a remnant of it remains here.

The good news is that the Emperor's juice can be reborn, but I don't know whether it will give birth to a new immortal sword or an immortal sword intent.

And there is a lot of imperial juice in the sword pool below.

The scabbard trembled slightly, and a feeling similar to a whim made Gu Wen vaguely feel that there was something in the southeast, in a very distant place where the location could not be determined.

This is the second good news. It seems that the magic sword is still connected to the scabbard.

[The remnant of the Immortal Sword enters the body, the fourth level of the true swordsmanship]

[Buddha Sword enters the fourth level naturally]

[The Devil Sword enters the fourth level naturally]

This is the third good news. There are at least one hundred Heavenly Marrows left. The power of the fourth level has reached twenty times, and the consumption has risen to another level.

Gu Wen suspected that if he continued like this, he might not be able to use the true meaning of the sword.

Returning to the ninth-level entrance of Tianquan Mountain, Gu Wen looked down at the people in the sword pool below. A streak of white appeared in his right hand, and the remnant of the immortal sword appeared in his hand, with the sword's force overwhelming him.

It seems that at my current level, there is no difference between the residual appearance and the original body of the immortal sword, and the latter may not recognize me.

Good things are those that can be held in your hands.

Everyone except Yu Hua was facing a great enemy. Even a calm little nun showed some emotion. Now the offense and defense had changed.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, do you still want to take this sword?"

Gu Wen cast his gaze towards Xiao Yunyi, who understood what he meant and stepped forward, standing with sword in hand, his eyes filled with awe and excitement.

The awe of the magical sword and the excitement of facing the supreme master of swordsmanship.

Gu Wen still remembered the previous agreement, but the situation was a little different now.

He said sincerely: "If I strike you with this sword, you might die if you don't have any means to protect yourself besides the sword."

It's not that Gu Wen has completely surpassed Xiao Yunyi, but the true understanding of the way of the sword has an overwhelming advantage over everything related to the sword, and all sword techniques are useless in front of it.

If Xiao Yunyi used his sword to block the sword, it would be like sticking his head out for Gu Wen to chop. No matter how big the gap in strength was, he couldn't stick his head out for others to chop, not to mention that Gu Wen was the main attack and had high attack.

Xiao Yunyi answered without hesitation: "If I die for the sword, I will have no regrets."

He is truly a sword fanatic.

Gu Wen swung his sword, but he aimed at the arm.

He would only use the concept of trying his best to show respect for his opponents on his enemies. As for those who are not enemies, Gu Wen is still very tactful.

At most, you can cut off an arm and reattach it immediately.

The sword energy, as white as frost, fell down, seemingly slow but actually fast. Xiao Yunyi swung his sword with all his strength towards the sword light. For a moment, he could clearly feel his sword hesitate.

The sword energy that should have been a dead object actually began to evade. The sword heart that should have been as solid as a rock actually began to fear.

puff!
An arm flew high up, Xiao Yunyi's face was stunned, his aura began to rise slowly, and his Tao foundation reached the seventh and sixth levels.

There was dead silence all around, no one paid attention to his insignificant breakthrough, and everyone was thinking about the sword just now.

No one could tell why the sword just now won. Just a little breath made their sword intent weaken, and the sword energy they swung was like paper.

At this time, Gu Wen supported Chi Yuzi and walked down. Seeing that Xiao Yunyi had made a breakthrough, he curled his lips, not knowing how to answer.

This Xiao Mutou really used swordsmanship to counter the true swordsmanship, and he even made a breakthrough.

Jun Yan suddenly emitted black air from all his orifices, as if endless demonic shadows were about to emerge. He approached Gu Wen and shouted, "Hit me with your sword, hit me with your sword quickly!"

Before Gu Wen could react, Akabane's body temperature rose as if he were on fire, and he let out a painful wail.

"Give me some wine, I want some wine!"

The purity in Jade Sword Buddha's eyes returned to normal. He found a corner, squatted down and hugged his knees, and fell into autism again.

Not far away, Xiao Yunyi was salvaging his severed arm. He sniffed the remaining scent from the cut and laughed.

It is still a gathering of outstanding people as always.
