Cultivate the "gods and Buddhas" in one go...
Xiao Kongtong listened happily and knew that this was a joke made by his husband.
How difficult is it to practice the "Sword Art of the Heart"
Among the schools that he practiced came from the school that his teacher Bazun was familiar with, "Heart Sword Technique" was almost placed at the bottom of the list. He had to wait for the ancient swordsmanship to mature before he could start practicing it.

There is no other reason.
Human imagination is limited by "vision" and "cognition".
If you ask a child to practice swordplay from a young age, and the first thing he learns is the "Sword Art of the Heart", what kind of thing can he visualize? I'm afraid it's just some illusory large toys.
But if after cultivating the Sword Immortal, you then visualize your own "gods and Buddhas", then there will be too many "selfs" that can be chosen and modified!
However, there are no absolutes in the world, such as Mr. Jiren.
Even in the last era of swordsmanship, 99% of swordsmen put "Heart Sword Art" in the last order of practice, just like my husband, who first learned "Heart Sword Art".
There is a saying: "The most powerful people can visualize the most powerful 'gods and Buddhas', but the most ignorant people have a chance of visualizing the most powerful 'gods and Buddhas' and 'demons', even without being rigid." in these two forms."
Because the latter's imagination is not limited by "cognition" and "vision", he can completely let himself go.
It's just that the probability is very small.
About the small group of people who are not following the normal path of sword cultivation, which is 99% normal, have a probability of one in a billion that what they visualize is not a "toy".
Mr. Jiren is an example!
It's just that it's the only example...
Xiao Kongtong did not object to Mr. Jiren’s teachings because he knew that Mr. Jiren’s school was different from his own. Once the visualization was completed, it could not be changed, and any breakthrough could only be solved by God.
The old swordsman's "God and Buddha" is divided into multiple stages. At the beginning, you can only visualize "chaos". Later, when the sword is advanced, you can then perfect it, and finally refine it to great success and perfection.
This is the reason why Mei Jiren first learned the "Heart Sword Technique" and even though he didn't know the other eight of the nine major sword techniques, he was still able to condense the "Sword Elephant", a terrifying monster that encompasses all the swordsmanship.
His "Sword Elephant" was gradually perfected as he practiced and later came into contact with the rest of the Nine Swordsmanships. Only today can he be integrated into the Nine Swordsmanships and reach perfection!
in short…
Xiao Kongtong's own "Heart Sword Art" school belongs to the "variant awakening type"; Mr. Ji Ren's belongs to the "self-evolution type".
The two are neither equal nor superior, it all depends on the meaning of "self" presented by the individual's level of realm.
"Now the gods and Buddhas..."
On the other side, Xu Xiaoshou was also excited after hearing this. He originally thought that his husband should proceed step by step and start with the Three Thousand Swordsmanship.
But Xu Xiaoshou felt that the increase in his own combat power was negligible.
The Nine Great Sword Techniques and Eighteen Sword Styles are different. This is a super powerful ability that can be used to fight across levels as soon as one reaches the first level.
However, although he had "sword proficiency" as a basis, Xu Xiaoshou knew that his own understanding was really not very good.
What if everyone's expectations of me were too high, and so was mine, and in the end their expectations were dashed
Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoshou asked somewhat sarcastically: "Mr. Jiren, how should we do this specific 'visualization' method?"
"There is no concrete way to do it."
Mei Jiren held a paper fan in his hand, walked forward, and said decisively:
"The first lesson is the 'Heart Sword Technique', which aims to restrain your 'self' without fixed cognitive limits, so that you can let your imagination run wild and imagine the most impossible and unrealistic 'presents'. Gods and Buddhas'."
"Even if the artistic conception in your visualization is too strong, in the end you can only visualize a 'chaotic form'..."
"But it doesn't matter. Our genre has plenty of time and can be improved in the future."
Mei Jiren stopped and looked over, then said with a smile: "So, don't be bound by reality, don't be limited by your cognition, just try your best to visualize, how strong your heart is, how much talent you have in swordsmanship, from You can get a glimpse of old age in your 'objects of visualization'."
This is all nonsense...
Xu Xiaoshou felt very guilty when he heard this, and thought to himself, Mr. Jiren, have you forgotten that I am really a beginner in ancient sword cultivation. In the past, I was just copying a cat and imitating a tiger. You have to give something more realistic. Come on, or you won't understand at all.
"What about the steps to practice?" Xu Xiaoshou hesitated and asked again.
Practice steps
Mei Jiren was stunned for a moment, took a breath, thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "How do you practice in daily life? Is it possible to follow that method? Are you still using Lao Chan to teach you?"
The problem is that I don't practice on weekdays. I practice on my own by sleeping and breathing... Xu Xiaoshou felt a toothache and shook his head seriously: "Definitely not."
"Why not?"
"There's no reason, but it's definitely not possible."
“…”
Mei Jixin thought, I am a serious ancient sword cultivator, but I still want to teach you, a half spiritual master and half ancient sword cultivator... the method of spiritual refining and cultivation
But looking at the serious look on Xu Xiaoshou's face, Mei Jiren could only regard it as the ancient sword cultivation method that the other party wanted to complete.
There is no such thing as old age... Mei Ji felt distressed, paused, his eyes became a little wandering, and then tried his best to describe it: "Close your eyes, meditate, let everything go, start imagining... End of imagining, open your eyes?"
"puff!"
Laughing Kongtong beside him couldn't help but burst into laughter.
You have to say that the art of swordsmanship is superb, it is indeed! Because the things we play with are all ethereal and mysterious.
But if you want to say it is very common, it is true! Because the method of practicing the Heart Sword Art is as simple and unpretentious as Mr. Jiren described.
After completing this process, if you can manifest the "visualization", it is a success; if you cannot, it is equivalent to "daydreaming", and it is still the kind of dream that is very shameful to say and will make people laugh out loud!
Xu Xiaoshou is too difficult to teach... Xiao Kongtong couldn't help but shake his head.
How can something as abstract as "Heart Sword Art" be described in concrete language
How could he ask his husband to explain these things that could only be understood but not expressed in words using simple words
Even I feel embarrassed for Mr. Jiren... As I was thinking this, I saw Meijiren glaring at me from the side, and the sword elephant behind him also turned his head.
"Harmful!" Xiao Kongtong was so frightened that he immediately restrained his emotions and returned to his calm expression, looking like a good student in class.
"That's all?" Xu Xiaoshou waited for a long time, but there was no further comment.
"That's all!" Mei Jiren couldn't help but her tone became more serious.
what else
I have just cut you with a sword, giving you the greatest life and death experience, so that you can take advantage of this "upper limit" and go higher.
Now adding these "descriptions" is not enough? What more do you want!
At a certain moment, Mei Jiren even wondered if Xu Xiaoshou was teasing her...
"Slandered, passive value, +2."
"Condemned, passive value, +2."
"That's too simple!" Xu Xiaoshou never thought that these descriptions were fantasy, shame, and indescribable. He just didn't know how to start.
Now with these simple explanations from Mr. Jiren, he immediately knew what to do.
The normal process of closing your eyes and practicing... nothing more than that!
The practice of "Heart Sword Art" can be said to be very simple, but it is also very difficult. Xu Xiaoshou will certainly not be stupid enough to regard the above simple "cultivation process" as the entirety of "Heart Sword Art".
He knew that the most important thing was the realization of "meaning", not the few actions of closing and opening eyes.
And when it comes to "meaning"...
Although Xu Xiaoshou has never really tried this level of practice before, it is not that he has never been exposed to it.
The practice of "Ten Stages of Sword Finger" is the combination of body, mind and mind; the countless times of "Qi Swallowing Mountains and Rivers" are also the condensation of "momentum" and "intention".
It can be said that this kind of training foundation has been engraved in Xu Xiaoshou's bones with the emergence of the passive skill "Qi Swallowing Mountains and Rivers".
Not to mention, he is "proficient in swordsmanship" and has mastered the knowledge of "Sword Art of the Heart", but he just doesn't know how to use and release this knowledge.
"I'm starting."
Under the gaze of Mr. Jiren, under the pressure of the sword elephant, and under the expectation of Xiao Kongtong, Xu Xiaoshou sat down cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes.
"Get rid of distracting thoughts and enter meditation."
Mei Jiren said he didn't care, but at the beginning, Xu Xiaoshou's voice seemed to be the sound of the great road, helping Xu Xiaoshou quickly enter concentration and eliminate distracting thoughts in a very gentle way.
"Heart, mind, sword..."
Under the influence of external forces, Xu Xiaoshou quickly entered a state of emptiness and transparency, and felt that everything in the world began to fade and finally disappear.
Everything ceases to exist, and there is only one self left in the world. It has no entity, and is all false.
"Swordsmanship has a name, it's called the heart, the way of the heart, there is no god, no Buddha, no law."
Inexplicably, the sound of the previous sword teaching broke into his mind, and Xu Xiaoshou's heart rippled, knowing that this was the seed that Mr. Jiren had planted for him in advance, and it was beginning to take root.
There is no god, no Buddha, lawlessness...
It can be said that these eight words truly and vividly explain the true meaning of "Sword Art of the Heart".
Xu Xiaoshou entered samadhi under the sword image of Mei Jiren. He also saw the eight gods and Buddhas that had appeared in the Eighth Palace.
He is different from most ancient sword cultivators who are new to the "Heart Sword Technique" and are still ignorant.
Because no matter how ignorant he is, he still has vision and knowledge.
Except for the so-called leader of the Seven Sword Immortals, Mr. Yutu, whose mind sword skills may bring surprises, the other sword immortals must not major in mind sword skills.
But Mr. Yutu's whereabouts are unknown many years ago, and he may have even died...
Therefore, even if he has never seen the "Gods and Buddhas" of other sword immortals, Xu Xiaoshou also knows that the "Heart Sword Technique" he has seen before may be the strongest in the world!
And what he has to do now is to surpass this strongest and become stronger!
What is stronger
In a chaotic world, on the left are the eight familiar gods and Buddhas, and on the right is Mr. Ji's superb sword elephant. It is almost difficult for Xu Xiaoshou to imagine anything stronger than these two.
But just because it is impossible to imagine, it is even more necessary to imagine.
"Even… "
"What is 'more'?"
Two huge mountains were pressing in front of him, making Xu Xiaoshou almost breathless. The pressure gave him a splitting headache, and he seemed to die suddenly on the spot.
However, at this moment, the sky-holding giant that he had seen in the illusion of "swallowing mountains and rivers" appeared in the distance and settled down in one step.
"boom!"
Xu Xiaoshou felt that his spiritual world was about to be trampled to pieces, causing heavy ripples.
This kick directly shattered the chaotic environment he was currently in, just like Pangu opened the world. The pure ones rose and the turbid ones sank.
Light pours in from a distance.
The light, carrying the figure of the illusory giant on its back, passed through the gap between the mountains formed by the two kendo seniors on the left and right in front of him, and fell on the face of Xu Xiaoshou's "self".
"At present... gods and Buddhas..."
Xu Xiaoshou suddenly opened his eyes and saw clearly the two mountains in front of him.
He suddenly realized that these were the "gods" and "buddhas" in his mind. They were existences that he could never surpass in his current state!
It comes from the eight acquaintances, it comes from my own people!
But the true meaning of "Heart Sword Art" is to transcend current cognition, crush the gods and Buddhas in the heart, and achieve a truly "lawless" state!
Unbridled, unruly, arrogant, dominating the world...
"Give me, get out of here—"
Xu Xiaoshou felt so proud that he rose up from the sky.
He is not an ignorant, fearless, ignorant beginner, he already has a sufficient foundation.
You don’t even need to use other forces, when the “intention” and “momentum” in your heart perfectly match the state of “swallowing mountains and rivers with anger”...
Without even a moment's delay, Xu Xiaoshou stood up angrily, like an ant under the face of a saint, but he dared to stand up and face the god directly!
Bang, bang!
The two mountains in front of him, "God Buddha" and "Sword Elephant", were suddenly forced back in Xu Xiaoshou's spiritual world, crumbling, and seemed unable to withstand the crushing momentum of the Lord of the World.
Xu Xiaoshou moved forward step by step, taking advantage of every inch, and stepped forward heavily to meet the footsteps of the backlit giant in the distance.
"Give me, get down on your knees—"
boom!
The giant steps in the distance, the bright moon rises in the sky, the day and the sun reincarnate, everything in the world begins to evolve, and the world gradually becomes clearer.
The two big mountains in front of the tiny ant also became the best stepping stones at this time.
When Xu Xiaoshou responded and moved forward, the two of them could no longer withstand the order of the Lord of the World. They suddenly hit their knees on the ground, lifted Xu Xiaoshou's spiritual body up to the sky, and worshiped.
"That's what it feels like!"
"Happy grudges, unrestrained!"
The pleasure of looking down on the world in the spiritual world can almost release all the pressure Xu Xiaoshou has encountered along the way.
He started facing the throne from the day after tomorrow and the day before, from the grandmaster and swordsmanship throne, he started to face Taixu, and even the semi-saint.
When the real world is still unable to resist and can only be controlled by others, everyone wants to fight for freedom for themselves.
But now, this desire for "freedom" has actually become an excellent help when practicing the "Heart Sword Art"!
What is "No Ji Tai Lai"
This is called "No Ji Tai Lai"!
Singing loudly and moving forward, Xu Xiaoshou crossed the two mountains and was finally about to meet the backlit giant.
He felt that as long as he smashed this giant in the illusion, he might be able to usher in a state of "no gods, no Buddhas" and "lawlessness".
Yes!
Xu Xiaoshou not only had to crush the two mountains of kendo, he also had to take shape in his inner swordsmanship and pass the level that was not part of kendo.
Everything must be suppressed!
A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.
Xu Xiaoshou has great ambitions. Since he wants to practice the "Sword Art of the Heart", he must condense the strongest "God and Buddha".
Not only must he be the strongest in his own cognition, but also be the strongest beyond his cognition, but he must also be so powerful that any sword cultivator in the world, even a spiritual refiner, will be frightened by hearing it, and his soul will be destroyed by the sight of it. !
But at this moment, when he was galloping through the spiritual world, all the way was unobstructed, his "power" and "intention" had reached their peak, and he was about to break through all the shackles and reach the first realm.
The information bar jumped, and something was out of place. It did not belong to this world at all and should not appear in this world. However, Xu Xiaoshou's self-awareness strongly defined that as long as he appeared, no matter where he was or what environment he was in, he must immediately Be vigilant, put it first, and even use the Holy Emperor Dragon Scales to remind yourself of the message, appeared...
"Being watched, passive value, +2."
boom!
At this moment, the spiritual world began to become chaotic, and "perception" transmitted two ecstatic faces in the real world.
Xu Xiaoshou, who was supposed to eliminate distracting thoughts and practice meditation without being affected by anything, saw these two unexpected faces, and their information flashed through his mind instantly.
"Evil old man? Ghost woman?"
"These are the killers from the Central Territory. They are watching and want to kill me?"
Tsk~
The thoughts just passed by, and the demonic energy invaded and burst out from the mental body. It was like... a sign of interference from distracting thoughts and obsession!
