Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 164: Sword World Evil Spirit, Sword Pond Hidden Sword Intent
"This is not in the Sword Realm, but in a strange space similar to the Sword Realm. You have indeed come out of the Sword Realm."

Zhou Ming appeared quietly and said.

Jian Yue ignored him completely, and with a raised hand, sword energy burst out: "Demon King, how dare you tease me! Die!"

"You're a little too irritable!"

Zhou Ming stretched out his hand, and his spatial adjustment ability caused the surrounding space to ripple, blocking all the sword energy: "Besides, I am not the Demon Lord."

"Ahhhh!" Jian Yue didn't listen at all. Sword energy surged throughout his body, like a big river, rushing towards him violently.

Even an ordinary grandmaster would be humiliated when faced with this move.

Unfortunately, he is now in Zhou Ming's personal space.

All the sword energy was easily blocked by Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming knew what the Demon Leader was.

It was a demonic being formed from the evil thoughts of countless swordsmen in the sword world. However, because it was a body of thought, it could only display its power by possessing another person.

Over countless years, the Demon King must have possessed Jian Yue.

But they were all trapped in the sword world and couldn't get out at all. This kind of possession could be said to be meaningless.

At this moment, Jian Yue should have thought that he was influenced by the Demon Lord and fell into an illusion, and mistook Zhou Ming for the Demon Lord.

It has to be said that the years of being imprisoned in the sword world have caused considerable damage to his spirit, otherwise he would not be unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.

"Since you won't listen... then I'll let you calm down."

Zhou Ming's mind moved, and the fluctuating space formed a circle, completely wrapping Jian Yue inside it.

The sword energy emitted by Jian Yue hit the fluctuating space and was directly reflected out, and then hit other spaces around it and was also reflected.

The final result was that all the sword energy fell on him.

Jian Yue's skin was as hard as iron and his bones as hard as steel, but facing the sword energy he emitted, his defense was broken and his body was covered in blood.

He finally sobered up a little: "Mo Kui! What do you want to do now?"

Zhou Mingdao: "I said, I am not the Demon Lord."

"Hmph!" Jian Yue sneered: "Still trying to lie to me? This time, no matter what you say, I won't believe it!"

Zhou Ming: "...Okay then."

He simply locked him aside, opened the space door, and left first.

Sword world.

"This mountain seems to be a fairy from outer space..."

Jinjiu looked carefully at the mountain under his feet, and felt the sword intent that was exactly the same as the Fairy from the Sky, and he had already determined the origin of this mountain.

Get up and fly down the mountain.

The Sword River was flowing, and a sword that looked very similar to the Feixian Sword was inserted into the river.

The river flows by, presenting a series of strange images. It is the childhood of Ye Gucheng, from the first time he held a sword, learned sword, to the time he created Tianwai Feixian and had a decisive battle with Ximen Chuxue on the top of Zijin Mountain. All the scenes can be found in the river.

But that's limited to anything related to swords.

Others, such as the conspiracy of King Nanping, can only be seen in a small part.

"No wonder this place is called the holy land of swordsmen!"

Next to it is Jianshan, where the sword skills of Tianwai Feixian are fully displayed before your eyes.

On one side is the Sword River. Ye Gucheng started learning swordsmanship when he was a child. When he grew up, he condensed the essence of swordsmanship and created his own experience of becoming a fairy from the sky.

Anyone with talent can at least grasp three-quarters of the essence by following the instructions.

There are countless such sword mountains and sword rivers in the entire sword world!

"As long as there's enough time, anyone can learn all the sword techniques in the world here!"

Gin took off into the air, soaring over the entire sword world.

Mountains of swords appeared before his eyes.

Unexplainable Swordsmanship, Holy Spirit Swordsmanship, Tai Chi Swordsmanship, Yue Girl Swordsmanship, Zongheng Swordsmanship, Saint King Swordsmanship, Dragon God Swordsmanship, Xuanyuan Swordsmanship, Chiyou Swordsmanship...

Countless sword techniques that are still being practiced today, or have long been lost, are all recorded in the sword world.

And in the winding river, the life journeys of countless swordsmen are reflected.

Finally, Gin arrived at a vast lake.

"This... should be the Sword Pond, right? But, it's too big..."

Rather than being called a pond, its area is actually several times larger than many large lakes in the real world.

If it weren't for the fact that you could see the Sword Mountain standing tall from the other side, it could even be called the Sea of ​​Swords.

"The sword world has grown and expanded over many years, and I imagine the sword pool is the same..."

Perhaps the original Sword Pond was really just a pond.

However, with the development of kendo, it has now become such a big lake.

The gin slowly fell.

The lake water rippled.

Countless evil auras emanated from the lake, constantly provoking Gin's emotions.

If an ordinary person with weak will walk on this lake, he will probably be influenced by the evil thoughts in it and become a wanton villain.

Sword Pond.

It is the final destination of countless swordsmen's thoughts!
No matter how much praise and praise people in this world have for swords and kendo, it cannot change one fact.

The sword is a weapon!

The way of the sword is the way of killing and injuring!
No matter what the reason is, when the sword is drawn, it is with the intention of hurting others.

What's more, the vast majority of swordsmen in the world wield swords for fame, fortune and wealth.

Furthermore, there is great terror between life and death.

No matter how high-spirited a person is when he is young, he will inevitably become foolish when he is old, and will pursue a longer life, thus going astray.

The Sword Pond, the final destination formed by the thoughts of countless swordsmen, contains far more evil than righteous energy.

That's why two evil creatures were created from it.

Demon leader!

Xuanyin Su Sword!

Jinjiu could already sense that deep within the sword pool, an evil thought had locked onto him.

It’s probably the Demon King.

"In the sword world, there have only been Mo Kui and Jian Yue for so many years. This guy is probably just like Jian Yue, eager to get out.

In that case, I'll go fishing again!"

Gin opened a golden portal and turned to step into it.

At this moment, a monster with green skin, red hair, a face like a devil, a mouth like a monkey, and protruding sharp teeth rushed out from the sword pool. It aimed at Jinjiu's body and crashed directly into him.

This collision also knocked Gin into the portal.

"I'm finally out!"

Mo Kui was just like Jian Yue before, feeling ecstatic.

Then he found that his situation was not right.

What was behind the portal was not the beautiful world he knew from Jian Yue’s memory, but a strange space.

At this moment, he was inside a sphere formed by spatial fluctuations. The body he was attached to also turned into nothingness at this moment, revealing the true form of the Demon Lord.

Zhou Ming laughed and said, "Who says I can't fish? My fishing skills are unmatched by anyone in the world!"

"Who are you? Where is this?" the Demon King asked in panic.

"Instead of worrying about where this place is, why not worry about your own situation first?"

"I?"

The Demon King was stunned, and then his expression changed drastically.

"My strength... is fading!"

This was an experience he had never had before. As a creature born from the countless evil thoughts in the Sword Realm, his power had been increasing with the strength of the Sword Realm and had never diminished.

"What's going on? Is it you? Are you up to something?"

"Hehe..." Zhou Ming sneered, "Demon King, you're a little unclear about your own identity. You were born from the Sword Realm, yet you've always wanted to leave it... Do you really think it's that easy to leave?"

The Demon King was not stupid either, and he immediately understood the reason from Zhou Ming's words.

"how so……"

The Demon King found it difficult to accept this fact and was stunned for a moment.

Zhou Ming ignored him and condensed another projection, sent it into the sword world, and continued exploring.

In the sword world, there are only two living beings.

One is Jian Yue who accidentally stumbled into it.

One is the demon leader born from countless evil thoughts.

Once these two ran away, there was no longer any living thing in the sword world.

Jinjiu no longer had any fear and jumped directly into the sword pool. His third eye opened and his powerful spiritual power spread out, permeating the entire sword pool.

At the same time, Zhou Ming directly used a perfect energy to restore his soul state to the state of having no desires, sensing the heaven and earth, and suddenly realizing the emptiness.

In this state, the projected Jinjiu could easily sense the more than ten sword intentions in the sword pool...

Huh?
More than ten?!

Zhou Ming was taken aback.

How come there are more than ten?
In the original plot, weren’t there only twelve Xuanyin Su swords?

These twelve Xuanyin swords are also called the Twelve Xuanyin Swords.

As a sword technique formed by countless evil thoughts in the sword pool, it can be regarded as the most advanced martial arts in the sword world.

However, these twelve sword techniques and sword intent are more evil than countless magic skills in the world. Anyone who wants to learn the Twelve Xuanyin Swords will be affected by the evil intent within the sword intent.

And the more you learn, the stronger the demonic power becomes.

One must possess an extremely strong will and the power to resist these sword intentions in order to suppress them.

If you fail, at best you will be affected by the devil, and at worst you will become a sword slave.

However, this is ultimately just a sword technique, a sword intent, and not everyone can learn it.

Although it has various shortcomings, the Twelve Xuanyin Swords is indeed the most advanced martial art, extremely mysterious and magical.

Among the twelve kinds of sword intent, many can be directly used by Zhou Ming as the Seven Swordsmanship.

Xuanyin's second sword, 'Heavenly Thunder Guides My Sword', can harness heavenly thunder and is a perfect match for the Benlei Sword.

Xuanyin's third sword, 'All Things Become My Sword', can control the whirlwind and form a violent tornado, which can be used as a whirlwind sword technique.

Xuanyin's fourth sword, 'Qian Kun Ren Wo Xing', can achieve the goal of both mind and body, which fits Zhou Ming's definition of Qingguang Sword.

Moreover, the Twelve Xuanyin Swords are of the same body and can work together to fight the enemy, unleashing even greater power.

Thinking about it this way, Zhou Ming felt that the Twelve Xuanyin Swords were simply created for his own Seven Swords setting!
But the current situation is a little wrong.

There are far more than twelve kinds of sword intent in the sword pool, there should be fifteen!
He could feel that twelve of them carried deep demonic intent, like swimming fish, actively coming towards him.

As long as he stood still and waited for the twelve sword intents to arrive, he would be able to learn these twelve sword intents naturally.

I think these twelve kinds of sword intent are the Xuanyin Su Sword.

The other three, however, were hidden deep within the sword pool and were not moved at all.

I'm afraid Zhou Ming will have to take the initiative to look for it before he can learn it.

Moreover, unlike the Xuanyin Su Sword which is full of demonic intent, the three sword intents are full of light and righteousness.

"Everything has its yin and yang, and the human heart has its evil and righteousness! Although the vast majority of people in the world hold swords, it is to kill, is for fame and fortune.

But in this world, there are still some people who draw their swords for the justice between heaven and earth and for protection!
Therefore, within this sword pool, there are not only the twelve evil Xuanyin swords, but also the three righteous swords... Since they correspond to Xuanyin, why not call them the Three Xuanyang Swords! "

Zhou Ming could feel that although the number of these three Xuanyang swords was small, their power was almost comparable to the twelve Xuanyin swords, or even slightly better.

Because in this world, good will never prevail over evil!

Evil can never defeat justice, this is the truth of this world.

In a real world, evil may triumph over justice.

But in the world of a story, it is always the protagonist who represents justice and defeats the evil villain.

Huo Qing, Jin Jiuling, Bai Xiaosheng, Lin Xianer, Shi Zhixuan, Yin Zhong, Pang Ban, Yu Wenhuaji, Xiong Ba...

The villains in the world appear one after another and make every effort to achieve their goals.

But they will always face another protagonist and be defeated by justice.

Therefore, after Zhou Ming discovered that there were still the Three Xuanyang Swords in the sword pool, he immediately went to the depths of the sword pool, wanting to obtain the Three Xuanyang Swords.

As he went deeper, the three sword intentions became clearer in his perception.

But unlike the Twelve Xuanyin Swords that came forward to meet the attack, these three sword intentions remained as steady as a rock and did not move at all.

When Zhou Ming expressed his desire to comprehend the three sword intentions, the three sword intentions immediately emitted a sense of resistance.

"..."

Zhou Ming was speechless.

Obviously, these three sword intentions, like the twelve Xuanyin Su swords, also have their own wills.

Now, they rejected Zhou Ming with their own will.

To be more precise, Zhou Ming does not conform to the sword spirit they represent.

"No, why don't I qualify?"

Zhou Ming was dissatisfied, but when he saw the three sword intentions, he was speechless.

These three sword intentions are the Sword of Righteousness born for the justice of heaven and earth, the Sword of All Living Things born for all the people in the world, and the Sword of Protection born for protection rather than harming others.

To be honest, Zhou Ming's style of doing things over the years is really completely incompatible with these three types of sword intent.

For fun, he orchestrated countless incidents, created the Black Organization, and played tricks on the people of the world.

The emergence of Huangliang Dan caused turmoil in the world.

I recently brought up the Seven Swords incident again, just to satisfy my own playful desire.

If all these actions could be recognized by these three sword intentions, that would be incredible.

"I just don't believe it! No matter how mysterious it is, it's just three sword techniques!"

Zhou Ming was rebellious and decided to fight to the death with the Three Xuanyang Swords for the time being.

For this reason, he did not even accept the Twelve Xuanyin Swords that came to him actively, but instead emitted a powerful spiritual force to drive them away.

"Don't come over, I'm afraid Xuan Yang will misunderstand..."
