Embers of Sword

Chapter 381 Boundary Breaker

The whole mountain is covered with fallen leaves, rustling and fluttering.

Xie Xuanyi was sitting alone among the fallen leaves on the mountain.

He raised his hands and two balls of fire ignited.

The left hand gives birth, the right hand dies.

"My benefactor..."

Miyun stared at the scene in a daze.

He didn't understand what Xie Zhen meant.

Last night's breakthrough, and today's breakthrough...

Is there any difference?

……

……

"laugh!"

A dead leaf was blown by the wind and floated past Xie Xuanyi, first passing by his right hand.

The dead leaf was burned by the dark fire, and the part that was stained turned into nothingness in an instant.

The principle of destruction has been condensed to 90%.

The last ten percent should have been completed, but it was suppressed by Meng Kejian's Que Wu sword intent...

This is a huge blessing.

Because of the stagnation of the Way of Destruction, the Way of Life has reached an unprecedented level of "perfection" at this moment.

The dead leaf was swept out from the light and fire of the Law of Destruction, and half of it had been burned to nothingness.

Then it fell into Xie Xuanyi's left hand.

The empty branches and leaves began to grow again.

Miyun and Deng Baiyi looked at this scene in disbelief.

The part that was destroyed by the Way of Destruction...is being repaired by the Way of Life!

"Life and death are the most irreversible laws in the world."

Xie Xuanyi looked at the dead leaf and said softly, "Even if you comprehend the 'law of life', you still have to 'follow the will of heaven'... Miyun, do you think this is right?"

"This……"

Miyun was suddenly asked a question.

He thought for a moment and said distressedly: "It should be right?"

Birth, aging, sickness and death are the laws of nature.

No matter how powerful the Way of Life is, it is impossible to bring the dead back to life.

Xie Xuanyi did not answer, but continued to ask: "If it is correct, then why do practitioners practice?"

“The purpose of spiritual practice is naturally to seek longevity, freedom, and liberation.”

Miyun spoke subconsciously, and then realized the problem.

Longevity, freedom, liberation.

Which part of this is allowed by Heaven?

No one is born with immortality, no one is born with freedom, and no one is born with liberation.

"It is better to not practice than to follow the way of heaven."

Xie Xuanyi lowered his eyes and said slowly: "So... no matter which path you practice, you should understand that sooner or later, practitioners will have to stand opposite the Heavenly Dao."

Miyun was confused by what he heard.

He understood this principle.

But he didn't understand, what did this have to do with his benefactor's refusal to condense the realm of life?
"I practice the 'Principle of Life' just to save the people I want to save. As for principles and rules, they have to be put aside. I want to save Zheng Fengsheng, but someone stopped me. That person calculated everything and laid out the overall situation. On the surface, he was considering me and asked me to follow nature."

"But I just don't want to accept this kind of 'fruit'."

Xie Xuanyi had a blank expression on his face and clenched his left hand.

Xie Xuanyi recalled the heavy snow in Pingzhi City that he had seen in his broken memories.

Ten years later.

Lu Yuzhen looked at himself.

He must have calculated that he wanted to use this "fruit" to ascend to the status of a Yin God.

If you accept it.

That sowed a new "cause".

From Lichao City, to Dayue Kingdom, and to the present... Lu Yuzhen has been calculating and planning everywhere.

But this time.

Xie Xuanyi decided to complete the promotion according to his own will.

"Rumble, rumble—"

There were bursts of thunder in the hills.

Blazing light bursts!

Xie Xuanyi slowly put his hands together, and the principles of life and death, as powerful as fire and water, began to produce a violent reaction... This was not the first time he had seen this scene. The Golden Body Tower's fight against the enemy and Qixia Mountain's escape had both involved the use of the principles of life and death. Some things in this world are inherently opposed.

The two words "birth" and "death" are it.

Before, Xie Xuanyi wrapped the principles of life on the outside and circled the principles of destruction inside.

Once released, it will produce enormous power!
But this time, it's different.

Under the pressure of Xie Xuanyi, the black Dao rules and the white Dao rules have condensed into a tiny ball of chaos.

Xie Xuanyi had no intention of letting go. He immersed his spiritual consciousness into it, forcing the two strands of Tao to merge.

"You want to start the state of condensation directly?"

Deng Baiyi widened her beautiful eyes in disbelief.

The ground is covered with fallen leaves, suspended in layers.

A chill emanated from Xie Xuanyi's black shirt.

"You stay away."

Xie Xuanyi said softly: "This place is open, breaking through here... won't hurt others."

Deng Baiyi hugged Miyun and retreated quickly.

She couldn't help but say, "Crazy, just like always... a lunatic!"

"Sister Bai Yi."

Miyun looked at the surging leaves in the distant valley gathering into a sea, and the fallen leaves changing from withering to flourishing at a very fast speed.

He asked in confusion: "Why do you say that the benefactor is a madman?"

"How can one go straight to the realm of condensation without completing the Dao principles?"

Deng Baiyi gritted his teeth and said, "The Dao of a cave cultivator has not yet been condensed to perfection, so how can he achieve a cave heaven... Moreover, he is cultivating dual Dao rules. If he is not careful when condensing into a Dao, he could die!"

"So dangerous?"

A faint golden light ignited on Miyun's forehead.

He was stunned for a moment and subconsciously wiped his forehead.

The Law of Karma was summoned at this moment and flew out on its own! The surging "Sea of Life and Death Leaves" in the distance actually aroused the interest of the Law of Karma!

“I’ve never seen such a crazy promotion.”

Deng Baiyi stopped a mile away.

She looked nervous and couldn't help sighing, "Being able to comprehend the two principles of life and death is a rare blessing in a thousand years. Logically speaking, anyone should seek progress in a steady manner and cultivate the principles to perfection...but he insists on being so 'radical'."

"My benefactor has always been this kind of person."

Miyun murmured softly: "What he cultivates is always more than just birth and death."

……

……

Xie Xuanyi cultivates a sword heart.

In the first life, this sword heart could not stand the injustice in the world.

So he developed the "Principle of Destruction".

In the second life, this sword heart became more perfect and more compassionate.

Thus, there came into being this "principle of life".

But in the final analysis, the two principles of life and death are all in the hands of Xie Xuanyi. Even if there is luck and opportunity, it is Xie Xuanyi who comprehends it personally.

There was no way he could accept Lu Yuzhen’s condescending “karma charity”.

"Who said that without concentrating on the Dao principles, one cannot achieve a state?"

Xie Xuanyi looked at the black and white ball of light in his palm and said to himself, "Since I can condense the state of extinction with one thought, I can also condense the state of life with one thought."

Enlightenment, enlightenment.

Once you fully understand the great truth, breaking through the realm will be as easy as drinking water.

For Xie Xuanyi, condensing the state of destruction is just a matter of a flick of his hand.

The reason why the habitat is stagnant.

It's because he hasn't fully understood this.

But now...it's different.

Lu Yuzhen designed Zheng Fengsheng's death so that he could gain the final glimmer of perfect understanding of the "Way of Life".

This ray of insight was rejected by Xie Xuanyi.

Today, he will condense the state in his own way.

Close your eyes.

The divine mind sank to the bottom.

In an instant, Xie Xuanyi arrived at his own Purple Mansion. He saw the old friend who had been hiding in the wind and frost for decades, and also saw the old road he had walked. The way of life and the way of death were entangled, turning into a black and white sun, hanging in the sky, illuminating the Purple Mansion brightly for a moment, and plunging it into darkness the next moment.

Xie Xuanyi walked forward.

He saw the patients who were saved in Taoyuan in the past few days. These people were the ones he saved with the "Principle of Life". Yuanzhou was suffering from famine and the people were suffering.

After saving these people, Xie Xuanyi never thought about promotion.

Go forward again.

Xie Xuanyi saw the monks from the Fanyin Temple delegation. When the delegation was crossing the river, he rescued these monks...just like the people of Yuanzhou.

The moment of attack.

Xie Xuanyi had never thought of using this to condense the state of Tao.

In his opinion, this is not practice.

And then... he saw Li Mei from the Dayue Kingdom who suffered from sacrifice. That catastrophe allowed him to condense the principles of life.

After that.

Most of them are memories of the first life.

In the Yin Mountains in southern Xinjiang, he went in and out seven times with his sword and killed his junior fellow apprentice in the Yin Shen realm who grew up with Bai Gui.

All the evil practitioners were brought to justice!
Mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

The border of Chu State, the snow-capped mountains in the north.

In his previous life, he wielded a sword to kill monsters and evil spirits, and killed countless monsters and evil spirits!

In his previous life, Xie Xuanyi only regarded these people as nourishment for his "Principle of Destruction".

But this moment.

A sentence that Deng Baiyi had said unintentionally a few days ago echoed in his heart.

"Killing is also protecting life."

Kill the demons, eliminate the evil spirits, and let the people of Da Chu live in peace!

Isn't killing them a redemption for the suffering people?

Xie Xuanyi walked alone on the long road of cultivation in these two lives. The ball of light symbolizing the "Way of Life" became clearer and clearer.

"I have no compassionate heart, no helping hand."

"I am destined not to be a benevolent doctor in this life, and I am destined not to be able to save the world with my medicine."

Junshan Zhenren said that if you want to comprehend the principles of life, you need to be like a Zen master, gather good connections and save many people.

Xie Xuanyi originally wanted to give it a try.

But now he has given up the idea.

"My hands can only hold a sword tightly."

He slowly stood still, looking at the scenes reflected in the Purple Palace.

"There are millions of avenues in this world."

"There are many ways for all living beings to live."

"Who said that the principles of life can only be practiced in one way?"

“This is my way of life.”

Clear mind.

Condensed state.

Enlightenment.

With every step you take, the dim principles of life will become brighter.

Memories of two lives flooded back.

The moment the heart of Tao became clear, the purple palace also became clear, with colorful light shining brightly, as bright as day!

Xie Xuanyi saw the scene in front of him clearly.

At the end of the heart lake.

There stood a figure as pure white as snow and as thin as paper.

It is said that those with unstable minds will definitely see their "inner demons" when they break through.

In his previous life, Xie Xuanyi swept away all his enemies.

He had not seen any inner demons.

The promotion process was extremely smooth.

But in the second life, something unexpected happened.

Previously in the southern border area, when he was promoted to the cave heaven, the inner demon that Xie Xuanyi saw was "himself".

My previous life!

He strangled "himself" under the ice of the lake in his heart.

now……

After being promoted to Yin God, he saw the second "inner demon".

This time, the inner demon that breaks through the realm is no longer "myself".

"Lu Yuzhen."

Xie Xuanyi stared at the figure and said coldly: "It's you."

"Xie Xuanyi, you are more powerful than I thought."

Lu Yuzhen in the Purple Mansion slowly turned around.

He put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Without this 'cause and effect', you can achieve the state of concentration so quickly... But is it worth it? You ignore the great way and insist on being smart. Is this your way? Do you know how many people have been killed because of this stubbornness?"

"It's no use talking more."

Xie Xuanyi knew that this inner demon appeared at this moment for only one purpose.

Shake your own concentrated state of mind.

He summoned a flying sword and killed Lu Yuzhen directly!

After all, Lu Yuzhen in front of him was just a demon in his heart. He did not retreat and turned into white paper like before.

Instead of retreating, he advanced and fought with Xie Xuanyi!
The flying sword splattered blood, and the white paper penetrated into the bones.

Xie Xuanyi used the Great Way of Life and Death to continuously kill Lu Yuzhen, while the latter continued to repair himself with the "Paper Man Way".

This fierce battle lasted for a very long time.

There is no time within the Purple Mansion Divine Sea.

The whole world was about to be torn apart by the two of them.

finally.

Xie Xuanyi cut off Lu Yuzhen's head.

He used the "Way of Destruction" to grind the inner demon into ashes, and then used the "Way of Life" to slowly repair his own injuries.

The divine sea covering dozens of miles was affected and could not calm down for a long time.

"Crash..."

Xie Xuanyi held Lu Yuzhen's head, looking at the flying white papers with cold eyes.

This battle is more difficult than I imagined.

Compared to "myself" in the Cave Heaven Realm, "Lu Yuzhen" in the Yin Shen Realm is obviously stronger.

This inner demon has been laying the groundwork for too long and is Xie Xuanyi's biggest concern in his second life!

but.

This battle was easier than he had imagined.

Last night, the principles of life were able to condense, and Xie Xuanyi chose to actively interrupt——

It’s not that I don’t want to be promoted.

But you can't get promoted.

He vaguely felt that if the Yin Spirit broke through, there would be disaster.

There is a high probability that a demon will appear in your heart.

Given his personality, if he were to forcibly accept the consequences of this kindness against his will, the inner demon "Lu Yuzhen" that had appeared would probably be even more difficult to deal with than it is now!
"Phew, it's finally over."

Xie Xuanyi threw away Lu Yuzhen's head, feeling the rare clarity in his heart.

After killing the inner demon——

The last remaining flaw in the way of life has been completed!
At this moment, the two principles were completely promoted to perfection!
Previously, Xie Xuanyi condensed and compressed the two principles of "birth and death" into a ball of light.

At this moment, the "light ball" that was compressed to the extreme turned into a tiny human embryo.

This is a small statue of "Xie Xuanyi".

Above the Purple Mansion Divine Sea, a divine fetus suddenly appeared.

The world turned upside down!

The cave heaven realm that had been condensed for a long time was shattered at this moment.

When a single principle is condensed into a state, the cave can be opened up and perfected, turning it into a small world!

now.

Both paths were condensed into a state and successfully formed into a divine fetus!
In front of Xie Xuanyi, the sea of ​​gods was raging, and a vast world suddenly spread out. The "divine fetus" that condensed became the only god in charge of suppressing this chaotic world.

Xie Xuanyi raised his head and looked at the divine fetus.

The divine fetus slowly opened its eyes and looked at Xie Xuanyi.

"town."

Xie Xuanyi uttered a word softly, then he stretched out a hand, turned his palm over, and slowly faced downwards.

"town."

The divine fetus also uttered this word.

The divine fetus of life and death that had just been condensed made exactly the same move as Xie Xuanyi, also stretching out his palm with his palm facing downwards.

Take charge of this divine sea.

As the word "Zhen" came out, thunder roared!
In the vast purple palace with an unknown radius of countless miles, the raging waves on the sea were instantly smoothed out, and the chaotic sky suddenly became clear.
