Chapter 503: Heart Reflecting the Spirit

"Although you know a lot of sword techniques, your sword intent is too poor. You are not a sword cultivator at all. You are just using some crooked and unorthodox methods."

"A sword cultivator's heart is the sword. He practices swordsmanship his whole life. He is invincible and unstoppable. With a sword in hand, he is the only one in the world."

"Your work is at best just sword training. I wonder how you managed to comprehend the spiritual realm."

"Sword cultivators rely on four basic methods to defeat the enemy: sword technique, sword energy, sword heart, and sword intent. Hone your sword intent in this sword formation and comprehend your sword heart."

King Taixu's voice seemed to be everywhere, bit by bit penetrating into Zhong Lin's ears, and at this time Zhong Lin was also upset by him.

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

King Taixu was not wrong. Zhong Lin's swordsmanship was obtained through cheating. Although the system panel could be understood as his own talent, he was still not a pure swordsman.

Sword skills, sword energy, sword intention, and sword heart.

Zhong Lin thought he was no less capable than the first three people who passed the system panel, but only Jian Xin...

Zhong Lin didn't consider himself a true swordsman. The sword was just a tool to him, as could be seen from the fact that he forged his life-long weapon into the Donghuang Bell.

In fact, even if King Taixu didn't say it, Zhong Lin had already felt his bottleneck, as if there was an invisible restriction blocking his way to further progress in the swordsmanship. Now it seems that he has not comprehended his "sword heart".

Just as Zhong Lin was thinking, the many swords surrounding him that had been making him run around exhausted suddenly disappeared. Suddenly, a sword energy came to his body, and the sword came silently and chopped off his head.

"Sunset!"

Zhong Lin subconsciously used the first Tianji sword technique he had acquired, the "Sunset Sword Technique". The Qingshuang Sword in his hand was lifted up into the air, and the sword intent burst out, directly shattering the sword energy.

The sword energy shattered, and a flash of spiritual light flooded into Zhong Lin's mind. He became stunned and stood there in silence.

Wow!

The sword formation dissipated, and King Taixu looked at Zhong Lin in surprise. "Good boy, Xi Xuan always said that this young disciple of his had amazing comprehension, and I thought he was exaggerating. I didn't expect it to be an understatement. I only used one sword strike and he realized it. Excellent! Excellent!"

At this moment, Zhong Lin was immersed in an inexplicable feeling. He felt that his mind was empty and spiritual, like a lake. Everything in the world was reflected in his heart, and any fluctuation could cause ripples.

The many sword techniques that he had learned before became extremely clear at this moment.

"system!"

Skill Points: ∞
The system panel, which always contained a long list of data, has now become several times simpler.

In the "Shu" column, all the sword techniques disappeared and finally merged into two short words.

Sword Domain!

Kendo field.

There is no distinction between realms after the Sword Domain as before, but when one reflects the mind into it, one can see that it contains many of the sword techniques that one has practiced.

He understood clearly in his heart that this so-called sword domain was quite similar to alchemy, and could be improved by practicing many sword techniques. It was impossible to directly improve the "sword domain" by creating skill points out of nothing.

Zhong Lin could feel that his understanding of swordsmanship had made another breakthrough.

The sword heart is connected to the essence.

Every breath he took was sword energy; every thought he had was sword intent.

Heaven and earth are my sword! The sky is my sword! The universe is my sword!

"Kenshin... Is this Kenshin?"

Zhong Lin muttered to himself, feeling that his cultivation hadn't improved, but his understanding of the sword was soaring to the sky. He then turned his attention to the "Heart Emptiness Reflecting the Spirit", which was the final transformation of his sword intent.

King Taixu's last sword seemed to be full of murderous intent towards himself, but its purpose was to allow him to comprehend this martial art.

Use your mind to construct a mirror-like field and reflect your own spirit in it.

Zhong Lin also used the spiritual lake to reflect his own spirit, integrating the sword techniques he had learned and comprehending his own sword heart and sword domain.

He slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes were calm, no longer as restless and sharp as before.

He put away the Qingshuang Sword in his hand, bowed deeply to King Taixu and said, "Disciple thanks the elder for his guidance."

clap clap clap!
King Taixu also clapped his hands with a smile on his face, and said with satisfaction: "Very good, very good, it is worth it that Xi Xuan came to me personally to ask me to teach you "The Heart Reflects the Spirit". I really have lived up to his expectations."

Zhong Lin was even more moved by his admiration for his master.

"The Heart Reflects the God" is one of the eight martial arts of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land. Even if you become the Son of God, you can only obtain one. But now my master has personally asked for it for me. This favor is really hard to repay.

"Don't act like a little girl. Now that you've passed the test, as long as you leave your name on the golden tablet, you can become the Sixth Holy Son of our Heavenly Sword Holy Land."

Leave your name on the golden monument!

Only those who leave their names are considered the Sons of God.

"Elder, I've only just passed the third level, how can I..."

Before Zhong Lin finished speaking, King Taixu slightly tilted his body, and an altar slowly rose behind him.

"The Nine-Story Sword Tower is nothing but a formality. You possess the imperial weapon, the Donghuang Bell, and the imperial weapon, the Form God Gate. How can the so-called test stop you? And I am the first to pass the final level. You have passed, so go ahead!"

King Taixu said with a smile on his face.

So Zhong Lin no longer hesitated and stepped onto the altar, and suddenly the altar began to shine.

A flash of light appeared, and Zhong Lin was in a strange state. He heard someone ask, "What's your name?"

I can’t think at all, Zhong Lin blurted out.

"Zhong Lin!"

"Where are you from?"

"Xiahe Village, Heishan County, Tianyang City, Chen State, East Wilderness Black Turtle Continent."

"You are a spy from another holy land. Do you have other purposes for entering the Heavenly Sword Holy Land?"

"No."

"Are you a spy from the Demonic Path?"

"No."

"What is the purpose of your cultivation?"

……

There are ninety-nine questions in total. What Zhong Lin thinks in his mind and what he says cannot be false, and there is no way to lie.

Moreover, he had a feeling that there was an inexplicable force maintaining this place. If the undercover spy had ulterior motives, he would find out by investigating here.

After the question was asked, the strange power disappeared, and Zhong Lin passed the test. Then another ray of light rose and the inspection began.

The light entered the body, as if exploring every inch, examining everything in detail.

This went on for a full half hour before everything was finally over.

King Taixu looked at Zhong Lin with even greater satisfaction and said, "Don't think you're making a big deal out of nothing. Remember the 'Taiwei Heart Observation of the Heavens and Measuring the Earth' that your master gave you in exchange? The Taoist tradition left by Master Taiwei before his ascension was destroyed because a demon ascended to the position of Supreme Master. Since then, all holy places have established and opened the Inquiry Platform to prevent such a thing from happening again. Okay, come down!"
