(This is an update to the previous red barn door, it’s a bit late, sorry)
The brilliance of the sword light at this moment is indescribable. The quiet and cold mood is permeated in the endless sword light. Occasionally, there is a murderous atmosphere mixed in, like a clear flood. It does not have such surging momentum, but the overflowing water surface, Still thrilling.
The giant palm condensed most of Chao Xiaoyu's spiritual power, and in the sea of spiritual consciousness, it would be impossible for anyone else to resist such a shocking spiritual power unless he was an expert who was just one step away from breaking through the madness.
Chao Xiaoyu sat firmly on the lotus platform, looking at the Dharma body at ease, watching calmly as the sword light attacked him. Her expression showed neither sadness nor joy, which seemed to indicate that she had already secured victory.
Shen Lian intended to meet her on a narrow road with a palm that condensed most of her spiritual power, and was really arrogant.
But then the calm expression changed slightly, revealing a hint of astonishment.
The sword light, which is silent and hides a sinister experience, has an otherworldly charm. It seems to restrain all living beings in the world and deserve to be killed by it. Chao Xiaoyu's "no life" does not have the true meaning of "no life". She still exists. Since there is life, it should be destroyed. The highest meaning of non-birth is that it does not originate by itself and does not exist.
Chao Xiaoyu only got its form, but she has not yet truly understood the true meaning of "no life". In other words, she knows it, but she still can't do it, even in the spiritual world.
There are some things that you know, but you can't imagine, or your imagination is wrong because there is no reference.
The endless gray air flow swirled around the giant palm, with a supreme vastness, but in the face of the quiet and cold killing intent in the sword light, there was no resistance, just like ice and snow melting directly when encountering the warm sun, without any resistance.
The gray air flow also dispersed like smoke and dust, and the giant palm was shattered like an illusion.
The space is like a still water surface, being mercilessly crushed by the light of a sword. Time is stagnant in an instant, or in other words, it has temporarily lost its original meaning.
After piercing the giant palm, it was disillusioned, and the sword light did not stop and headed towards Xiaoyu Jue.
The piercing thorns, the brilliant power of heaven, and the ruthless indifference that has existed since ancient times sent a chill through the entire world of Consciousness Sea.
Although Chao Xiaoyu was shocked in her heart, she did not lose the courage to resist.
At this time, she sat down on the lotus platform and flew out of the nine-petal lotus. One petal after another, it resisted the sword light, causing its speed to slow down. However, it could not stop the sword light. The nine-petal lotus only resisted for a moment, and then was stabbed by the sword light. And broken.
The lotus flower was stabbed and split into many small petals, sparsely scattered, like a beautiful picture scroll, but the sword light still did not stop, and finally fell on Chao Xiaoyu.
Chao Xiaoyu only felt that her consciousness continued to weaken and became blurry.
In the end, only the long sword chant was left in her heart, which was like the first time she saw the thousand-foot waterfall on the mountain of her teacher's gate, like the Milky Way hanging upside down. The moving music was something she would never forget.
Suddenly, the sword light disappeared, the pain stopped, and she returned to reality. A trace of blood seeped out of the corner of Xiaoyu's mouth. The lotus knife across the void in front of her was much darker, just like her jade face, which was quite pale.
Shen Lian's Taoist clothes were moving with the wind, and the sword aura in front of him had disappeared. He was looking at her calmly and calmly. There was no longer that fierce sword aura, and he looked calm and gentle. His eyes were warm and jade-like. The luster is independent from the world.
Chao Xiaoyu now feels that Shen Lian's temperament is just like the new rain on an empty mountain, clean and dusty. A sentence suddenly rang in his heart: "People can dirty water, but water does not dirty people. It flows back and forth, but its quality is dust-free."
The ferocious murderous sword intent blends into Shen Lian's spiritual consciousness, just like impurities falling into the water, washed away by the water, ultimately unable to change the clear nature of the water.
Shen Lian is now taking a different path from Chen Jianmei. Chen Jianmei saw the teachings of the Yuanqing Patriarch and was inspired. He got the Dharma and forgot the Dharma, just like Buddha holding flowers and Kasyapa smiling. Even though they are of the same origin, who can say, What Kasyapa obtained was completely what the Buddha intended.
This cannot be explained, cannot be explained clearly, and the way is unclear. Only Kassapa knows it in his heart.
It is with this that Chen Jianmei created his own Dharma intention. If Qing is better than Lan, although he does not know whether he can be better than Lan, it is already plausible. It means yes, it means no.
But he will no longer be limited to the path of the Yuan and Qing Patriarchs. He can only follow the Yuan and Qing Patriarchs, but cannot surpass them and become a craftsman who follows his example.
Shen Lian did not have the kind of enlightenment that "obtains the Dharma but forgets it" like Chen Jianmei, but he combined the sword intention with his nature. He did not actively integrate the sword intention into the sword intention and understood the true meaning of killing. Instead, he made the sword intention merge with his nature. A trace of anger combined with it.
Just as water has thousands of forms, it can be as majestic as a torrential flood, or as peaceful as a trickle or trickle, so the sword's will cannot control him, it has just become a form of his original 'Tao'.
Chao Xiaoyu was not killed in the end because of his ability to control the murderous aura within him. Indulgence does not mean wantonness. The freedom of a cultivator is not that he can have no taboos, but that he can restrain himself from being dominated by certain emotions and doing things that go against his own nature.
Shen Lian finally realized the last step to the perfection of the alchemy path. Just as the sword is full, if you grasp the fullness but not the fullness, and let yourself move freely, you will not overturn, but will fail.
Shen Lian looked at Chao Xiaoyu and smiled lightly, put his hands on his back, and calmly flew past Chao Xiaoyu. The lotus sword seemed to be frightened and moved a little farther away.
Chao Xiaoyu watched Shen Lian go away. It was the first time in his life that he received such a heavy blow. This was not due to the gap in strength, but because he had doubts about his own path.
Why is she so eager to seek enlightenment and her energy is so fast, but she is still inferior to Shen Lian.
When they first met Shen Lian, she would have been at least 70% sure of victory if he were in a life-and-death fight. Later, in the battle in the imperial city, even though Shen Lian broke through and she was seriously injured, she still only thought that Shen Lian was a powerful opponent at best, and the two of them There is no real dispute between them, so the conflict is not serious.
This was also the reason why she felt that she could persuade Shen Lian to borrow the merit weapon. After all, Shen Lian had made a breakthrough that day without any damage.
This time, firstly, Chao Xiaoyu did not expect that a person like Shen Lian would still remember what happened that time and would not give her a chance to negotiate terms. Secondly, during the life and death fight, Shen Lian did not take her to heart. He still dared to hone himself between life and death, and at the same time showed that Shen Lian's true intention was not to take revenge, but to use her as a whetstone.
In the end, he sent and received messages from the heart, defeating her and planting a shadow in her heart, which was regarded as a small counterattack against the previous incident, and then left calmly, saying that he had nothing to do with her.
This also vividly demonstrated his methods, aspirations and different customs, and at the same time made Chao Xiaoyu even more elusive about Shen Lian.
