Blind Ghostwriter: Starts with the full level of Nine Yang Magic Skill

Chapter 26 Discussing Martial Arts
The Tang family was in a mess today and suffered heavy losses, but fortunately, the Tang family was not doomed. The sword furnace was attacked by an evil master, and Shen Bai came to help, which greatly mitigated the losses. On the other side, Gu Mo also came to help, and the Tang family successfully survived the crisis of destruction.

However, Tang Tianqi died, the head of the family, Tang Tianhao, was severely poisoned, and a number of senior executives were injured or killed. As a last resort, they forced Tang Buyi, a somewhat careless young man, to step forward and stabilize the situation.

Fortunately, not many people knew about Tang Tianqi's affairs, so the Tang family was not caught in the center of public opinion. From another perspective, the Tang family could be said to have turned a disaster into a blessing, because the news of many evil masters snatching the sword would be publicized soon, adding a rare gimmick to the birth of the Immaculate Sword.

Gu Mo stayed at the Tang family for three days.

The reason for staying for three days was because Shen Bai had to leave in just three days.

During these three days, Gu Mo and Shen Bai slept almost touching each other and were constantly exchanging martial arts. Both of them benefited a lot and were reluctant to leave when they parted. However, Shen Bai had important matters to attend to and could only stay for three days at most.

"Alas, Brother Gu, if I had known I would meet you earlier, I would not have challenged Mo Buyao from Lingyun Villa to a duel."

In a pavilion at the Tang family's residence, Shen Bai said with regret, "What a pity! I had already made an appointment with Mo Buyao to duel. I originally wanted to duel with Mo Buyao in order to find the true meaning of my martial arts. However, competing with Mo Buyao is nothing compared to communicating with you, Brother Gu. What a pity! I can't break my appointment!"

In the past few years, Shen Bai has been challenging martial arts masters everywhere. Recently, he had an appointment to fight with Mo Budao, the young master of Lingyun Villa, one of the leading forces in the martial arts world of Linjiang County. That's why he came to Zhushan County to get the sword for his master.

This matter has been agreed upon long ago. The ultimate credibility in the world is...
Even though Shen Bai was reluctant, he had to leave.

Gu Mo smiled slightly and said, "There's a long way to go. We'll have plenty of opportunities in the future."

"Yes, yes, there's a long way to go."

Gu Mo's martial arts level is higher than Shen Bai's, but not as high as Shen Bai's master. It is only slightly higher than Shen Bai, just at a level that Shen Bai can reach. The guidance that can be obtained from Gu Mo is something that even a master cannot give.

Of course, it’s not that Gu Mo understands martial arts better than Ye Liuyun, but because Ye Liuyun’s level is too high. The things he points out to Shen Bai at this stage are not as down-to-earth as Gu Mo’s.

And Gu Mo also gained a lot from Shen Bai.
Shen Bai was a direct disciple of the Grandmaster of Canglan Sword Sect. The martial arts secrets he knew were things that most people would never be able to access in their lifetime. He mastered the most advanced and complete martial arts knowledge system, which was of great help to Gu Mo, who came from a self-taught background.

In addition, Gu Mo saved Shen Bai's life, and Gu Mo also wanted to make friends with Shen Bai, a promising disciple of the master. They hit it off immediately and quickly established a friendship. The martial arts exchange process went very smoothly. Before leaving, they left each other their contact addresses and agreed to continue communicating through letters.

……

The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly.

On the official road, Gu Mo sat in the carriage, and Gu Chudong was driving, slowly leaving the county seat of Zhushan County. Shen Bai and his junior sister, each riding a horse, left in another direction.

Tang Tianhao and Tang Buyi, father and son, personally escorted them out of the city. The Tang family had originally arranged for someone to escort Gu Mo and his sister, but Gu Mo declined. "Brother, are you going to become famous?"

"Why do you say that?"

"You killed Feilong!" Gu Chudong said.

Gu Mo laughed and said, "Killing a flying dragon is not something that will make you famous. It's not like killing a master of evil ways. However, among the ghostwriters, it should spread some fame. Yan Sanniang will definitely promote it and it will get some attention, but it can't be said to be famous in the martial arts world."

Gu Chudong said, "That will be soon. You will definitely be famous in the martial arts world soon. After all, you are more powerful than Shen Bai. Shen Bai is very famous. You are better than him, so you will definitely be more famous than him soon!"

"Well, you can't say that. Shen Bai is very strong. I have never competed with him, so it's hard to say who is stronger or weaker." Gu Mo said.

"No," Gu Chudong said, "Shen Bai himself said that you are stronger than him, your realm is higher than his, your internal and external skills have reached the highest level, while he is only halfway to the sword intent."

Gu Mo smiled and said, "The directions are different, how can the realms be compared? Moreover, the realm is not directly related to combat effectiveness. The strength of a person's combat effectiveness still depends on the depth of martial arts and their own understanding of the martial arts they practice."

"Hmm... I don't understand."

Gu Mo explained, "There are different stages in martial arts practice. For example, you and I are currently practicing Xuanxu Sword Skills, which is still in the first stage. You need to find a way to practice diligently and cultivate Xuanxu Sword Skills to perfection, which is also called the realm of transformation. When you reach this realm, it means that you have mastered Xuanxu Sword Skills to perfection and can use them as easily as your own arms.

If you don't possess any other more powerful martial arts, you'll have no choice but to continue cultivating the Xuanxu Sword Technique. However, having already mastered it to perfection, where else can you advance? That's the second stage: comprehending your personal will. You'll advance from the basics of learning techniques and moves to a new level, imbuing the sword with your own will. By then, won't your realm be quite high?

But if you think about it carefully, our Xuanxu swordsmanship is at best second-rate in the martial arts world. Even if you practice a certain move to perfection and give it extremely high willpower, it is not necessarily stronger than the first-rate martial artist who has reached the realm of perfection, let alone the top-notch master martial arts.

Shen Bai, on the other hand, practiced the Liuyun Sword Technique, the unique skill of Grandmaster Ye Liuyun. This sword technique emphasizes intention over form. Once the intention is unleashed, its power is unpredictable. Furthermore, Grandmaster martial arts are extremely difficult to cultivate. Generally speaking, the higher the level of martial arts, the more profound and difficult it is to practice. The intention gained through comprehension is also more powerful, and even a mere half-step is difficult to fathom.

Gu Chudong seemed to understand, but she didn't quite understand. She pressed on, "So which is stronger, cultivating internal skills or cultivating the true meaning of martial arts?"

Gu Mo shook his head slightly and said, "There is no distinction between strong and weak. Whether it is a different direction of cultivation or a different martial art, the only way to distinguish between strong and weak is to fight. Whoever wins is the stronger one. Not to mention different directions, even people who practice the same martial art have different comprehension. It is even possible to comprehend multiple cores of a martial art. In addition, there are various methods such as knife skills, sword skills, light skills, hidden weapons, etc. Who can say which one is the strongest?

Generally speaking, there is no strongest martial art, nor the strongest direction of cultivation, only the strongest person! "
