Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 491 Six Meridians Sword and Lonely Sword

With Bai Nian Gu acting as a guarantor, Lu Ping and the other two became guests of Tianlong Temple.

That night, under the strange gaze of the receptionist, the three were arranged to rest in the guest rooms of Tianlong Temple. They became neighbors with One Hundred Years of Solitude and were spared the sin of being blown by the cold wind on the top of the tower all night.

But they still didn't see any light.

According to the monk who hosted him, he was currently in emergency retreat with several monks of the same generation in Tianlong Temple, practicing the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

Among all the Dali emperors in the past, Yideng was an extremely special one. What made him special was that, unlike other emperors, he did not choose to become a monk in Tianlong Temple, but started a new life and practiced in a secret place.

Therefore, the Buddhist name he took after becoming a monk was naturally not arranged according to the seniority of Tianlong Temple.

However, even though Yideng did not choose to become a monk in Tianlong Temple, he was a member of the royal family after all, and his martial arts were also outstanding, so he was also qualified to practice Six Meridians Divine Sword.

Six Meridians Divine Sword is the supreme martial art of the Dali Duan royal family. It is much more powerful than One Finger Zen, but the threshold for practitioners is also higher.

The first is the requirement for internal strength, and secondly, the prerequisite martial arts One Yang Finger needs to be practiced to a very high level.

Normally, if one wants to master the Six Meridians Divine Sword, one must first practice the One Yang Finger to at least the fourth level, and this is only possible for one meridian.

There is no fixed order for practicing Six Meridians Divine Sword, but this martial art becomes more difficult the further you practice it.

This is mainly because the principle of using the Six Meridians Divine Sword is to allow the internal force to circulate along six different routes in the body, condensing sword energy and launching it out.

Most ordinary people can only circulate one meridian in their body at the same time. If one wants to circulate six swords at the same time and release them at will, the user's internal strength must be sufficient to circulate six meridian routes at the same time.

But life is only a hundred years or so, where is the time to accumulate inner strength?
"...According to the old bald donkey, it takes about thirty years to master each form."

While chatting in the evening, Lu Ping learned another piece of news from Hundred Years of Solitude that he had never known before.

"But although there is a saying that 'one style takes thirty years', the first thirty years of martial arts training are completely different from each of the subsequent thirty years."

Lu Ping nodded, showing his understanding: "The higher the martial arts realm, the faster the internal force is accumulated. Being able to maintain the efficiency of 'one style for thirty years' is enough to show how difficult it is to practice."

According to this theory, if one can master any one of these moves, he would be considered a natural talent and be called a master; and if one can master two of them, he would be considered one of the best in the martial arts world.

Bai Nian Gu Ji added: "Among the current Duan family members, only the old bald donkey Ku Rong has mastered all the six meridians of the divine sword."

Lu Ping was a little surprised when he heard this: "So Master Ku Rong... can use the Six Meridians Divine Sword?"

No wonder it was able to tie with One Hundred Years of Solitude. Now it all makes sense.

But is his inner strength really that high?
As if seeing the doubt in Lu Ping's heart, Hundred Years of Solitude explained: "Old Baldy has outstanding natural resources, plus he had another adventure when he was young, so it doesn't take thirty years."

"I vaguely remember that he had already mastered all the Six Meridians Divine Sword ten years ago."

"It's just that he has learned all the moves, but his internal energy cannot be released at the same time. So when fighting, he can only release sword energy one by one."

"If you think about it carefully, the power hasn't changed, but the means are a little more shady."

"In order to make up for this shortcoming, he has devoted himself to the practice of the Withered Glory Technique over the years, hoping to further improve his internal strength."

The Withering and Flourishing Technique is the top internal martial arts technique that has been passed down in Tianlong Temple for many years. It is said that there are four levels in total, namely 'neither withering nor flourishing', 'half withering and half flourishing', 'neither withering nor flourishing', and 'both withering and flourishing'.

If one can practice it to the final level, the internal strength will be far better than practicing the Yi Jin Jing and Xi Sui Jing of Shaolin Temple.

"It turns out that the old bald donkey's decision was a wise one."

"In this martial arts competition, he was able to wield two swords at the same time, and his strength increased greatly. However, he is still slightly inferior to me, so he only won three out of seven games."

At this point, One Hundred Years of Solitude couldn't help but feel proud.

Lu Ping looked like a little boy who had just beaten his best friend in a 'who can pee farther' competition.

After the two were silent for a while, Lu Ping brought up another topic.

"I heard that you passed on the Lonely Sword Technique to Guan Qi?" Upon hearing this, Bai Nian Gu Ji chuckled and said, "That's another fate."

"When I was cultivating in the mountains in the past, I ran into that kid by chance. I found that he had extraordinary aptitude and excellent comprehension. He also had a characteristic that was essential for a martial arts expert - madness!"

"If I could achieve enlightenment one day, I would definitely be the most suitable swordsman for my 'Lonely Sword Technique'!"

Lu Ping nodded, thinking that the old man had amazing eyesight.

Guan Qi is indeed the most suitable successor to the "Lonely Sword Technique", and the development of the original work has confirmed this.

It’s a pity that the ‘Lonely Sword Technique’ is not the most suitable martial art for Guan Qi!
"People and martial arts complement each other, just like Xiao Qiushui and the Heavenly Book of Forgetfulness, Yan Kuangtu and the Mysterious Heaven Black Gold Palm, Li Chenzhou and the Thirty-Six Wonders of the World..."

"When people in Jianghu mention Guan Qi, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely the 'Innate Formless Finger Sword' and the 'Body-Breaking Invisible Sword Qi', and definitely not the 'Lonely Sword Technique'."

"Do you plan to find another successor?"

This topic completely silenced One Hundred Years of Solitude.

After a long while, he sighed deeply and said, "In fact, I have been secretly observing Guan Qi over the years, but the conclusion I get every time is the same. He is still too far away from 'enlightenment'!"

"I have thought about finding another successor, but in such a huge world with tens of millions of people, how can it be that easy to find someone who is compatible with the Lonely Sword Technique?"

One Hundred Years of Solitude said this, and glanced at Lu Ping indifferently: "Even if it's you, it won't work!"

The Lonely Sword Technique is a martial art that pursues the limits of sword skills and integrates the lonely sword intent.

Therefore, if one wants to bring out the essence of this sword technique, the swordsman must first have an exquisite mind and a body with outstanding talent for swordsmanship, that is, his comprehension and foundation must be full.

Finally, one needs to "enlighten", that is, understand the spirit of "loneliness".

Because of past experiences, the only possible path that One Hundred Years of Solitude can think of is to suffer emotional trauma.

And he could tell at a glance that although Lu Ping in front of him had enough talent in swordsmanship, he was unlikely to suffer emotional trauma, so he said that he was not suitable for the lonely swordsmanship.

Lu Ping was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he laughed and gossiped: "Old man, what kind of emotional injury did you suffer back then?"

"You youngsters, please don't ask about the old man's affairs."

"What's the matter? Just tell me about it..."

After some struggle, One Hundred Years of Solitude finally spoke out about his past emotional pain.

In fact, the process is very simple. When he and Ku Rong were wandering around the world, they met a woman who was extremely beautiful, kind-hearted, and talented.

Unfortunately, he already has someone else in his heart.

The two old men suffered broken hearts one after another, and then one was forced to go home to marry and have children, while the other became a bachelor from then on, and by the way, he learned the Lonely Sword Technique.

"My condolences, my condolences..."

"What's the big deal? I don't take it to heart at all!"

Hundred Years of Loneliness wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and pretended to be strong and said: "Compared with that old bald donkey Ku Rong, I am much stronger! You know, that old bald donkey is a member of the royal family and has never been free to marry, unlike me..."

"You are free to marry, but you haven't found a beautiful woman... Wait a minute!"

Lu Ping noticed it instantly and blurted out in surprise: "So you like the same woman? What kind of woman is so awesome?"

When they were in the carriage that day, Hundred Years of Solitude only said that he and Ku Rong were both hurt by love, but he did not elaborate on the cause of the injury.

One Hundred Years of Solitude looked up at the dark night sky, and his gaze seemed to be illuminated by the stars, crossing the long river of memory, traveling through time and space, and falling on the beautiful figure of the old friend.

"Her name is Li Canghai."
