Chapter 87 The True Intentions of Azure Waves

No wonder that in the later stages of cultivation, even external practitioners can't help but switch to internal cultivation and take the path of unifying internal and external cultivation.

The reason is that the comprehensiveness of inner cultivation is difficult to match by outer cultivation.

Even if the cultivation speed is a bit slow and the requirements for comprehension are too high, who could give up this seemingly infinitely bright path to heaven?

Feeling his inner strength rapidly increasing, Lu Wubing felt joy and also gained some insight.

Changes in one's state of mind are actually closely related to the cultivation of inner strength.

Just like the principle I had told Senior Sister Shen Xinzhu.

Emotions not only affect the treatment of diseases and are closely related to human health, but they can even affect human evolution.

This topic was too profound. Lu Wubing knew his own limitations and had no intention of delving into it, nor could he.

He was simply curious whether Gu Dongting, as the leader of a sect, might possess any treasures or secret manuals...

He touched Gu Dongting's arms; he hadn't returned empty-handed.

In addition to some gold notes, there was also a booklet containing silver taels and their corresponding codes.

After taking a closer look, Lu Wubing guessed that this booklet was a record of the amount of tribute received by the East Sea Sect Leader from within his jurisdiction.

"I didn't expect Gu Dongting to keep this so close to his body; he must value his valuables quite a bit. No wonder he always carries five thousand taels of gold notes with him..."

This thing really means nothing to Lu Wubing.

Significantly, in addition to these items, there was also a silk painting.

Above, there is a watercolor painting, with the sea and sky blending into one color and waves blooming.

At first glance

Lu Wubing thought it was a love token given to him by Gu Dongting's old flame, and was about to throw it away along with the booklet when he took another look and his heart suddenly trembled.

Those few waves seemed to come alive, crashing into my mind, and illusions appeared before my eyes.

He no longer seemed to be standing in this mountain forest, but in the sea, where countless waves surged and roared, and immense hidden forces surged, wanting to tear him to pieces.

It was as if there were countless sharp swords, each following a different trajectory, creating a thousand layers of sword shadows.

"This...it's actually the Azure Wave Sword Technique."

Lu Wubing had just asked Wu Zhongxiong about the sword techniques and cultivation methods of the Bibo Swordplay, and had pondered them for a while, so he had a general idea of ​​what it was all about.

Upon seeing the surging waves of the sea, a sense of familiarity immediately arose in my heart.

Unable to resist following this trend, I drew my sword.

Get into it.

"call……"

Lu Wubing flung the silk painting aside, then carefully folded it again, the image of sword light still swirling endlessly in his mind...

Although the area between my eyebrows was slightly swollen, I felt a little dizzy.

He wasn't unhappy at all; in just a short while, he had become extremely proficient with this set of Azure Sword moves.

"So that was their true intention."

Lu Wubing felt his swordsmanship improve rapidly in a short period of time and roughly understood what this silk painting was.

As he traveled south, listening to his senior sister Xiaolan tell stories, he heard about the concept of "true intention."

Legend has it that superior martial arts, once mastered to perfection and breaking through the innate level, will generate a profound artistic conception.

If it's swordsmanship, what emerges is sword intent.

Those who cultivate to the ninth rank of martial arts, when confronting innate martial intent, mostly lack the courage to even draw their swords and are directly crushed by the martial intent.

Senior Sister Xiaolan also mentioned that the Tianxing Sect has an innate sword intent inheritance.

Unfortunately, his disciples were not skilled enough to observe and learn from him. Otherwise, it would have been heartbreaking, so most of the time he could only keep it on a shelf.

Nowadays, only a handful of people in the Heavenly Star Sect can comprehend the true meaning without getting injured.

It only meant avoiding injury; the gains from it were minimal.

It's easy to imagine just how high-end this thing is.

Unexpectedly, the East Sea Sword Sect also had one.

It's still the Azure Wave Sword Intent.

Or perhaps it was passed down from the ancestors of the Donghai School.

Or perhaps it was drawn by Gu Qingyun, the previous leader of the East Sea Sword Sect.

"...This man's swordsmanship and martial arts skills are so high, and judging from his last words, he still has a father who is not dead."

Butler Gui's face showed a mixture of joy and worry, and he was filled with trepidation.

The good news is that the young master is exceptionally intelligent and resourceful. Through various schemes, he finally eliminated the Lu family's mortal enemy.

The sharp blade hanging overhead was removed.

These days, forced by the East Sea Sword Sect, I've been constantly on the run, not a single day has been peaceful for me.

Now, I can finally relax.

What's worrying is that if Gu Dongting, the leader of the East Sea Sword Sect, is so powerful, then how powerful must his father, who is still alive and was the previous leader of the East Sea Sword Sect, be?
if……

Lu Wubing shook his head: "Don't worry, even if Gu Qingyun is not dead, he was defeated by my grandfather's sword in three moves back then, so he probably isn't anyone special."

Even if he were to enter seclusion in seclusion and achieve his goal, I would handle the situation then.

At this time, you must not scare yourself.

My parents are already living in constant fear. If they knew that there were still hidden dangers in this matter, they would definitely not be able to eat or sleep well. So why bother?

"That's right. Young Master, at the tender age of 18, has already managed to kill the leader of the East Sea Sword Sect after a month of diligently practicing superior swordsmanship."

Given time, and with each advancement in skill, even if Gu Qingyun or Gu Baiyun come to attack, it won't be a problem."

Upon hearing Tang Qi's words, Wang Zhong and Wang Tietou nodded emphatically.

"Yes, yes, young master's cultivation is indeed rapid. Once he learns the profound martial arts of the Heavenly Star Sect, who knows how strong he will become."

"Our strength is currently insufficient, but we will cultivate diligently day and night so that we can be of help when the time comes."

Wang Tietou didn't know how to write the word "fear".

Although Gu Dongting's roar had left him feeling weak and aching, his spirit remained undiminished; on the contrary, he was full of fighting spirit.

Upon hearing this, Lu Wubing was both amused and exasperated.

These people must have so much faith in themselves; they actually believed a few of their boasts.

However, he has never been mentally drained by things that have never happened.

Suppress the matter and stop thinking about it.

From that silk painting, we can tell that Gu Qingyun is most likely a master of the Innate Realm, and there's no way to rush him.

Of course, the chances of dying in a secluded retreat are slim, so there's no need to be overly cautious; just be vigilant.

Why did they guess that Gu Qingyun was a powerful expert at the Innate Realm who had comprehended sword intent?

The reason is very simple.

The true meaning of martial arts is extremely important for those who have not yet grasped its essence. It is best to keep it with you and study it constantly.

Since Gu Qingyun gave this to his son, he obviously didn't need it himself.

Gu Qingyun, who was at the Innate Realm level, couldn't even last three moves against his grandfather. Perhaps, those were just three casual moves his grandfather made without using his full strength...

So, how strong was my grandfather back then?

Lu Wubing thought of the [Yuanling Sword Manual] and pondered for a moment. Seeing that the sun was setting, he instructed, "Don't worry about this place. Uncle Gui, you take the valuables back and distribute them. I'll go back to Tianxing Peak first."

This whole affair was largely thanks to Jin Yutang's efforts. Although we don't know how they contacted the Taiping Army outside the city, or what secrets they had, since they were the main force, it wouldn't be right for them to keep all the spoils for themselves.

Whether they want it or not is another matter; whether I send it or not is another matter.

My parents have settled in Mingyang and need someone to take care of them, so it's most important for both sides to maintain a good relationship.

Thinking of the zither music he heard while chasing the enemy late at night, and then of how he secretly sent a message that led to the destruction of Shuofang Pavilion in one battle, Lu Wubing weighed the situation and couldn't say who owed whom more.

Let's keep in touch more often in the future.

As for Tianxing Peak, sending treasures was actually a way to make up for the lack of formal apprenticeship.

If we're talking about the three branches of the Heavenly Star Sect, which one is the poorest? Of course, it's the Wangtian Cliff branch.

With a leader like the sect leader who values ​​face and manners, one can only treat gold and silver as a gentleman's love of wealth, acquiring it in a righteous way.

If the disciples do not make offerings, life on the mountain will be extremely austere...

Not to mention the large amount of medicine needed for cultivation, even meat cannot be guaranteed at every meal.

In this situation, how can we help everyone become stronger?
"The Tianxing Sect has become stronger, which means I have become stronger."

Lu Wubing laughed heartily, turned and headed east, heading straight for Tianxing Peak.
