Tao and Heaven

Chapter 99: The First Sword Technique in the World
After one stick of incense, the atmosphere returned to its usual calm.

Without giving Gu Wen time to distract himself, Yu Hua pulled him aside and asked him to write down the poem "Goddess of Luo River" he had just composed.

Half a year later, Gu Wen's handwriting was still not very pleasing to the eye, but with the help of his cultivation, it had at least escaped the category of "dog-scratched handwriting".

The sloppy writing has a bit of the flavor of guns and swords, which is quite unique.

While the red sleeves added fragrance, the fragrance of books and ink showed, the conversation returned to the original topic.

Yu Hua said: "The integration of the three swords of Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism is the true solution to the sword art. The reason behind this is very far-reaching. You only need to know that the founder of Zhejian Mountain, Jianzun, first went from Taoism to Buddhism, and then from Buddhism to Demonism. He secretly learned the methods of the three schools and realized the Dao with the sword to break through the Dao realm."

Gu Wen paused for a moment and asked in surprise, "How could anyone take him in after he betrayed two religions?"

This is not learning, but stealing and betraying the teachings.

"The bald donkey likes to steal other people's disciples the most, and the demon sect doesn't care about one's background the most." Yu Hua replied: "As long as one's talent is high enough and one is strong enough, it is not impossible to return to the Taoist sect even if one becomes a demon."

"."

Gu Wen was silent. It turned out that even cultivators were still human. No matter how powerful one was, one could not become an immortal.

As long as there are a large number of people at the same level as you, you will inevitably have to make some compromises and will always be tainted with vulgarity. This is a good thing for you, at least those who practice cultivation use normal logic to think.

"and after?"

"He was scolded as a slave of the three religions. Later, he entered the realm of Taoism and established the Daoist tradition of Zhejian Mountain. He became the Sword Master, and all the great men of the three religions came to recognize him as their relative."

"Then why doesn't this method exist in Zhejian Mountain?"

"There are two theories. One is that this was an agreement between the three religions and the Sword Master. There are very few people in the world who have attained the Dao realm, but there are still many old monsters in the three religions. The second theory is that the true solution to the Dao of Sword is not a specific method, but is close to the Dao. Leaving behind the method will only mislead the disciples."

Yu Hua turned his head slightly and looked at the green mountain outside the window, and said: "If you keep looking at the green mountain while walking, can you reach the top of the mountain? If future generations have the ability, they will naturally go to look for the three swords of Buddha, Taoism and Demon."

Gu Wen immediately understood that the level of his true sword skills was too high, and if he stayed, he would probably only cause chaos in the sect.

As for warnings or any other means, during the tens of thousands of years that a cultivator has been traveling, all warnings and backup plans will become ineffective.

Yu Hua said meaningfully: "Someone has indeed found it."

Gu Wen was already intelligent, and after five years of training at Dragon Bridge, he had become quite a shrewd person. He guessed, "Xiao Yunyi?"

Yu Hua nodded and said, "That's right. Zhe Jianshan spent a lot of effort to get him the three swords of Buddha, Taoism and Demon. Maybe the last three levels of the Demon Sword are not available yet. Before that, he was stronger than the Jade Sword Buddha. Until today, he is already a point weaker than you."

"If you want to hold the greatest sword in the world, you must bear its weight."

The combination of the three swords of Buddhism, Taoism and Demon is one of the thirty-six ways to become an immortal, and it is also the most powerful means of attack in the world. However, if an ordinary person can practice one of them, he is already a heavenly master. Gu Wen already has the foundation of Yuqing Dao at this time, so Yu Hua does not recommend Gu Wen to pursue the true meaning of swordsmanship.

Even Xiao Yunyi, the most talented swordsman in Zhejian Mountain, had to stop before the true solution to the sword. If he had just practiced the Zhejian Dao and not sought the true solution to the sword, he would not be ranked seventh on the list.

But Yu Hua would not say it clearly, everything should be decided by Gu Wen. He has the qualifications to practice the true meaning of swordsmanship, but he does not have the time at the moment.

If he were to be advised not to practice at this time, it might affect his morale, because Yu Hua knew that Gu Wen was a person who knew how to restrain himself, and if necessary, he could endure it like drinking water.

Forbearance is not a good thing.

But she didn't expect Gu Wen to ask her, "Can I practice?"

Yu Hua replied: "It's not about whether you can do it or not, but whether you want to do it or not. You will naturally succeed if you practice. It's just a matter of time."

He knows when to show off his talents and when to remain humble. He is smart enough to not need any instructions, and sometimes when facing risks, he prefers to be cautious.

Although it has begun to show its potential, it has not yet fully grown up, and is still that little loach.

"The incident at Tianquan Mountain."

"There is no limit on the number of places. If you can't go up, I will take you up. Don't you still need to refine the jade pendant?"

“It may take some time, but the Dharma image should be fine.”

Gu Wen shook his head. He estimated that the amount of Heavenly Marrow he could obtain at present was enough to condense the sword form, and the remaining Heavenly Marrow could be used to practice the two swords of Buddha and Demon.

At present, his problem is no longer about his cultivation, but that his method is not perfect enough. He needs an external skill that can compete with the geniuses of the three religions like Jade Sword Buddha.

The three swords of Buddhism, Taoism and Demon are difficult to practice, but they are not difficult for Tiansui.

Yu Hua just smiled and said nothing more, and it was unclear whether he believed it or not.

Then Gu Wen handed the letter from the heir of the Demon Sect to Yu Hua. She just glanced at it and threw it on the table.

"The heir of the Demon Sect and Xiao Yunyi are planning to set up a plan to join forces with me and the Jade Sword Buddha to block those old monsters outside. But he has a bad relationship with the nun, so he wants me to act as a go-between."

"Once the sword pool is opened, the sword formation will still be activated, leaving only the Ten Thousand Swords Path."

Gu Wen also took a look at the letter.

The content of the letter roughly stated that the heir of the Demon Sect and Xiao Yunyi felt that too many old monsters were attracted, which might affect their chances of obtaining Tianquan Mountain, but the two of them alone could not compete with everyone.

So he wanted to win over Yu Hua and Jade Sword Buddha as helpers, saying that if the heir of the Demon Sect, Jade Sword Buddha, and Xiao Yunyi joined forces, even the Heavenly Lord would be afraid, and no one could resist Yu Hua. Yu Hua asked, "How is it?"

Gu Wen nodded and said, "If we activate the sword formation after we go in, it will indeed be beneficial to us, but don't they want the immortality potion?"

"Young and talented, they generally won't rush into a flame." Yu Hua picked up the Luoshen Fu that Gu Wen had just finished writing, frowned slightly, and said, "If you think it's okay, then I will go to participate in this so-called Buddhist, Taoist, Demonic and Sword-asking Conference."

One month later, the Buddhist, Taoist and Demonic Sword Contest.

Two months later, Tianquan Mountain Sword Pool.

At this time, Gu Wen was only at the 43rd level of Dao Foundation and the fifth level of Jade Purity Sword Technique, not enough to compete with the geniuses of the three religions.

But knowing one’s shortcomings and striving to catch up, learning as if one cannot catch up, one is still afraid of losing them.

What he learned from the Jade Sword Buddha was not only his shortcomings, but also the complement of his own practice. If they had not appeared and these defects still existed, Gu Wen would be afraid that they would not appear.

The purpose of practicing is to become an immortal.
-
The next day.

Gu Wen went out specially to meet He Qing and He Huan. While confirming that they were fine, he also asked about the successor of the Demon Sect.

The origin of Jun Yan, the successor of the Demon Sect, is unknown. All we know is that his status as the successor has been recognized by the giants of the various sects of the Demon Sect in the Four Abysses and Eight Caves. It is rumored that there may be a retired Demon Lord behind him.

First, the heir of the Demon Sect is not called He Junyan, but Junyan. Second, he is not He Qing's brother. Third, he is not Lu Chan's brother, but he is her "senior sister".

He disguised himself as a woman and entered the Qianfeng Sect, secretly learning the secrets of the Qianfeng Sect, which made his transformation more vivid. During this period, he took good care of Lu Chan, who had just joined the sect, and they kept in touch after that.

Jun Yan's elixir came from Lu Chan.

He and Jade Sword Buddha were mortal enemies, and the two had been fighting for many years. Once, in order to hunt down Jun Yan, Jade Sword Buddha broke into the Demon Sect alone and defeated two abysses and four caves with one sword, killing hundreds of thousands of demon monks, thousands of geniuses, and dozens of prodigies, just to find Jun Yan who was hiding among them.

Although the premise of such a feat is that the old man does not intervene when the younger ones fight, it is enough to show the unrivaled strength of Jade Sword Buddha among his peers.

As for why the two became enemies, no one knows. All they know is that as long as Jun Yan appears, Jade Sword Buddha will kill him with one sword.

Gu Wen asked, "How do you recognize the art of transformation?"

He Huan replied, "You should ask the dead nun. She is the only one who can find me every time."

"."

Gu Wen and He Qing were speechless. They looked at He Huan and could hardly detect anything unusual, from the aura of his martial arts to his facial expressions and temperament.

This feeling of having the people around you being replaced without you noticing is creepy.

Jun Yan, who was disguised as He Huan, smiled and said, "You don't have to put on that expression. I rarely kill people. On the contrary, the more strong people I can imitate, the better. I hope they are alive, so that I can have more identities."

"There's no need to be afraid. I came here to express my gratitude. I didn't expect you to be able to invite that goddess."

He threw a small bag of pills to Gu Wen, and then in the blink of an eye he turned into a palm-sized paper man.

Gu Wen took a look at the bag. Inside were the same ten high-quality medicinal pills from yesterday, about seven years old.

But he couldn't be happy. This feeling of being helpless was what he hated the most, as if he was back to five years ago when he faced Zhao Feng.

Or your cultivation is not high enough!
Afterwards, Gu Wenwen and He Qing went to confirm He Huan's safety, came to the other party's mansion, and asked the servants to inform him.

"Brother Hongchen, Brother He, why are you here?"

He Huan came out in a disheveled state, followed by nearly 20 women of all shapes and sizes, some fat, some thin, some beautiful, some ugly, and some disabled. He Huan was not picky, the only thing he picked was whether their situation was miserable.

It was the first time that He Qing saw such a scene and he did not understand He Huan's orientation. Then the two started fighting again.

Farther away there was another group of people fighting, and the waves along the river were surging seven or eight meters high.

It was another peaceful day in Luodu.
-
After making a fuss for a long time, Gu Wen was finally able to return to his room to practice.

After taking the second batch of pills and Jun Yan's thanks, he gained a total of fifty-seven years of Tiansui.

Then he went to Jiu Zhenjun to get three jars of spiritual wine. He drank them all in one breath and felt a little dizzy. His Celestial Marrow reached 60 years. Adding the original 30 years of Celestial Marrow, his Celestial Marrow reached 90 years.

The sixth level of Jade Purity Sword Art is to enter the spirit from the mind. The Jade Purity Sword God needs eighty years of heavenly marrow.

After eighty years of celestial marrow transformation, the Jade Sword was refined within it for ten days, and the sword emerged as a god-like being.

Compared with Zhaolie Dharmakāya, its hardness suddenly increased from fifty to one hundred, and its power was already 70% of Zhaolie Spear.

【Ten years of Tiansui.】

[Buddha Sword, derived from the great power of heaven and earth, can create three thousand worlds with the sword, one level requires forty-five heavenly marrows]

[The magic sword, taking the dark energy of the sky and the turbid energy of the earth, condenses into a sword body of ten thousand feet, splits the sky and shatters the earth. One level requires forty-five years of heavenly marrow]

The remaining two swords require the celestial marrow to descend again.
