"Teacher, we are both Seven Sword Immortals, why is there such a big gap?"
"you mean… "
"It's Gou Wuyue and Rao Yaoyao. You can kill Jiang Bansheng with one sword, forcing him to use the half-sage incarnation to survive, but these two people are not like this. They feel... very weak, well, yes Compared to the name 'Seven Swordsmen', it is a bit weak."
"Then you're wrong."
"Impossible. I once saw Gou Wuyue fight with Bazun Shu in the Eighth Palace. He was no match for Bazun. One of the majestic Seven Swordsmen was defeated by a person who didn't even win the title of Seven Swordsmen. The people were defeated!"
"Then you only see the surface."
"Oh? In that case... Li Xiang, what's the situation?"
"Gou Wuyue had a close friendship with Bazun Shu, and his sword Nulan's voice was Bazun's old sword... Can you imagine that after you fell, your hidden pain immediately transferred to someone else? Lord.”
"This is impossible. Hiding suffering will only devour the master."
"But Gou Wuyue did it. After the 'fall' of the eight masters, the swords they used to wear were lost, broken, and lost. Only Gou Wuyue took in Nulanzhi, and Nulanzhi, who was the demon sword, He is willing to recognize his voice as his master, what does this mean?"
"What's going on with the two of them?"
“…”
"Uh, what I mean is, doesn't Gou Wuyue have his own sword? With such a friendship between the two of them, Gou Wuyue still sheathes the demon sword Nulan's voice. After sheathing the sword, he still dares to enter the Holy Temple?"
"At that time, there were no saint slaves yet..."
"I understand, so it was precisely because of such a relationship that Gou Wuyue let go during the battle in the Eight Palaces? He was not willing to kill him?"
"No, because of this relationship, the Holy Temple also wants to see what choice Gou Wuyue will make when facing the Eight Masters alone. Therefore, they will definitely send very little help, just because they want to Force Gou Wuyue to make a choice, a choice that is either one or two."
"Uh, are you asking him to die to prove his ambition? How can Gou Wuyue defeat the Eight Masters? The Eight Masters have called a large number of people over, he is very shady!"
"So Gou Wuyue hesitated... Either he fights the enemy desperately, so no matter what the outcome, nothing will happen to him after he returns; or he leaves the Holy Temple directly, otherwise he will have nothing to do here, and what awaits him must be judgment, no matter he Whether you brought your master back or not...that's two different things."
"No wonder Bazunzun persuaded him to change his ways and leave the Holy Temple. That's it... Gou Wuyue is also stupid. He should understand clearly. What does Hanhu's position mean? Isn't this asking for death? No wonder I also listened later. He said he was punished and has never seen anyone else."
"Do you think Seven Swordsmen are stupid?"
"Uh, I don't dare. What do you mean, Master?"
"Do you think Gou Wuyue can't think of anything you can think of?"
"Well… "
"Do you think that what the Eight Masters advised Gou Wuyue would not have thought of?"
"Well… "
"Then if you think about it again, you can think of it, and Gou Wuyue can also think of it, what is the reason why he still does this?"
"This is what I don't understand, otherwise I wouldn't ask the teacher, hehe~"
"Stupid! Gou Wuyue majors in Mo Swordsmanship. I ask you, what are the two realms of Mo Swordsmanship?"
"I know that, 'Qinghe Sword World' and 'Wuyu Sword', I'm not a newbie in swordsmanship!"
"Has Gou Wuyue mastered the first realm?"
"Hmm~"
"Then has he mastered the second realm?"
"This, I don't know..."
"He didn't, he's still repairing it!"
"Then I don't understand. He is still cultivating the second realm. Does this have anything to do with the choice he made in the Eighth Palace, where he still hesitated and still held his position...?"
"Fool, you have to know that if you are not born with this knowledge, if a person wants to reach the state of 'desireless' and 'unwanted action', he must first have 'desires' and he must have 'cares'. After such experience, , Only then can we cut off our obsessions and achieve the second realm!"
Xu Xiaoshou was silent at that time.
This was a chat he had with his teacher Mei Jiren on the way to the Sin First Hall.
Xu Xiaoshou has actually asked other people similar questions, but no one has given him such an answer.
Mr. Jiren is different. He was the first to clearly point out the problem, get to the root of it, go straight to the core, and give people a enlightening solution.
Xu Xiaoshou once again refreshed his understanding of the world's boss.
He finally understood why Gou Wuyue continued to stay in the Holy Temple despite being so aggrieved.
It is because there is pressure from inside and outside in the Holy Temple. Once it cannot hold on, the sword will collapse; but if you can resist it, you can get through it.
Canonization is just around the corner!
So Xu Xiaoshou put down Gou Wuyue's question and asked about another sword immortal he was confused about.
There are eight people in the Seven Sword Immortals, and he feels that these two are the weakest. Now after answering questions, Gou Wuyue's plan has increased, and his strength has soared, leaving only the last weak one.
"Where's Rao Yaoyao? She doesn't even feel as good as Gou Wuyue... How could she get to this point?"
"Xu Xiaoshou, are there any fools among the Seven Swordsmen?"
"Uh, teacher, you've already asked me this question..."
"Then what do you want to say?"
"I want to say that at the Forest of Miracles, before you came, Rao Yaoyao also came. Her surname is Rao, and there is someone behind her. If she is not weak, how can she just sit back and watch Teng Shanhai die, and treat Jiang Bansheng's What if the behavior turns a deaf ear?”
"Is the relationship between Rao Yaoyao and Teng Shanhai similar to that of Gou Wuyue and Bazun?"
"Probably not. Judging from their appearance, I guess they are just wartime companions. They are just acquaintances who have no common language."
"Yes, Gou had an old friendship with Ba. He gave up a desperate fight when he knew he was losing. Ba Neng tried to persuade Gou to choose another way. This was because they had a friendship... But Rao and Teng were not like that. She knew Jiang Bansheng killed Teng no longer because Teng insulted the saint, but because of the 'power of the devil'. If she saved Teng, it would be equivalent to forcing Jiang Bansheng to die in the future. Therefore, she stood aside and protected herself at that time. This was very smart. Decide."
"But she can't even catch Jiang Bansheng's move... She even has the Xuan Cang Divine Sword, and her surname is Rao. If she wants to save people, there must be a way to solve the subsequent troubles... You said Seven Swords Immortal City She’s very strong, so she can’t hide it?”
"What if she really can't beat him?"
"ah?"
"Does Jiang Bansheng have a good relationship with Rao Yaoyao? If it were you, someone asked you to cut off the grass and leave the root, and asked you to dedicate your head to this root in the future. How would you choose?"
"I'll kill them all together. If I can't defeat them... I'll choose a trap to kill them!"
"So Rao Yaoyao has to go. She really can't defeat the Half-Saint at the moment. Resistance will only lead to death. For Jiang Bansheng, who has no way out at the moment."
"Then I finally understand. The Seven Swordsmen do have weak ones, and Rao Yaoyao is the only one. She is the real deal!"
"You idiot, you are wrong again."
"Well?"
"Rao Yaoyao is going to be canonized!"
"???"
At that moment, Xu Xiaoshou once again felt that his thinking could not keep up with Mr. Jiren's, and he could not recall the shock in his heart when he heard these words.
"How to say?"
"I once met Rao Yaoyao on the first floor of the sky and had a conversation with her."
"I know this." Xu Xiaoshou overheard.
"At that time, I didn't know why the person in charge of Dongtian King City was this little girl. She can be regarded as the one I watched grow up. I know her character clearly."
"So, why..."
"It wasn't until the night battle started in the royal city, many incidents occurred in the Yunlun Mountains, and the island in the void, and you and everyone else came here, that I understood that this was all a plan, someone's plan!"
"who?"
"Xu Xiaoshou, do you know which of the nine swordsmanships are strong and which are weak?" Mr. Jiren did not answer directly, but changed the subject.
"Are there any differences among the nine swordsmanships? This is the first time I've heard of this, teacher, tell me."
"Huan Jiuwan, Mo Wuxin, Gui Zangqing... It is said that the Sword God was the nine swordsmanship created in this order. I don't know the specific situation, but one thing is certain, the love swordsmanship was created last. .”
"Why?"
"After creating the Eight Great Sword Skills, the Sword God traveled around the world of mortals while hiding his sword, and finally broke through to become a god. What prompted him to take this step was the sword of love."
"Affection… "
"Well, you should have thought that the rest of the nine swordsmanships only have two realms, except for the last two swordsmanships. Hidden Swordsmanship only has one realm, while Love Swordsmanship has three realms."
"The Red Dust Sword, the Forgetting Sword, and the Immortal Sword?"
"Yes, other swordsmanship has been cultivated to the extreme, and the two realms each only show one 'move' that is like a spiritual skill, but only the love swordsmanship is different. Its three realms are all about the perception of the Tao, and each corresponds to the 'person' , 'earth', 'heaven'."
"So, love swordsmanship is the strongest? This... uh, it's a bit beyond my imagination!"
"It can be understood this way... When you practice the 'Xiang' of the Red Dust Sword, you start to enter the mortal world. The most important aspect is the 'Xiang of all living beings'; when you practice the 'Ping' of the Forgetting Sword, you enter the mortal world without being stained by it, just like the mountains, rivers and seas." Eternal life is eternal and motionless, this is the most important thing, and it is called the "mountain and sea pressure"; the immortal sword repairs the "door" and leaps out of the world; if you don't enter the Tao, you can knock on the door to the outside of the sky, which is called the "mysterious door" … If these three are really accomplished, no other sword skills are needed to ascend to the Holy Emperor and step into the divine realm."
"Fuck... Teacher, if you put it like that, why have I only seen one person practice Love Sword Technique? Why don't you practice it?"
"I can't cultivate it. Love swordsmanship is too difficult. A poor man can't get out of the first realm in his lifetime. Just cultivating a small phase can take him a lifetime."
"Small appearance? Are there other appearances? What is the teacher cultivating, other than the 'appearance of all living beings'?"
"No, what I am cultivating is just the 'teacher-student phase', which is one of the 'sentient beings' phase. Just like that, it is very difficult to achieve."
"That Rao Yaoyao..."
"What she has cultivated is the most orthodox path of love swordsmanship that the Sword God has ever taken. It is the 'Phase of All Living Beings'. Once she has mastered this phase, she will be able to become a saint soon."
"You don't even dare to cultivate this 'image of living beings', how dare she..."
"Spare."
"Oh, I understand, what about her 'appearance of all beings'?"
"It's not done yet, but it's almost done. It's just a matter of time."
At that time, Mr. Jiren looked sad and filled with emotion. He sighed and said:
"The Rao family's sweet daughter of heaven has had a smooth journey and has never encountered any setbacks. However, she encountered such setbacks in Dongtianwang City, Yunlun Mountains, and even Void Island."
"Either sink in ruins, or rise in destruction... I thought, the next time Rao Yaoyao encounters an enemy, it will be the time for her to achieve perfection in all living beings, and it will also be the time for her to be canonized!"
The certainty of this statement is shocking.
But Xu Xiaoshou knew that Rao Yaoyao did not have such talent to arrange for herself to reach this point, otherwise she would not have been teased all the way from Dongtian King City to Void Island.
Therefore, Xu Xiaoshou suddenly understood why Mr. Jiren mentioned another person in his previous words.
Mr. Jiren seemed to have the same idea as him.
After the old swordsman finished chatting, he looked into the distance and looked at the endless sea of clouds. He felt that they were like waves, one wave higher than the other, and there was only admiration on his face.
"Calculating all the secrets of heaven and leaving nothing out, the gods and ghosts are unpredictable..."
…
"The appearance of all living beings!"
"This thing is like a ghost. It's not an illusion or phantom swordsmanship. It's the 'appearance of living beings' that Mr. Jiren mentioned!"
Under the ruins of the Unforgiveness Hall, Xu Xiaoshou huddled in the blind corner of the fallen rocks, and then used the "disappearance technique" to hide his body. Feeling the power of disaster that suddenly spread here, memories rolled in his mind, and he felt his scalp tingling. numb.
All living things!
Holy calamity!
Mr. Jiren is right, Rao Yaoyao really chose to overcome the tribulation when facing the Half-Saint Lord Han. She wants to make the Half-Saint right here!
Depends on it, she may have just achieved the perfect "image of all living beings"!
Looking at the aura of calamity here, it is tens of thousands of times greater than the vigil under the deep sea to overcome the calamity.
At that time, Xu Xiaoshou dared to go in and chat with Vigil while carrying the Nine-Death Thunder Tribulation. Now he just felt that if he didn't escape from this place quickly, even the disappearing technique might not be able to withstand the aftermath of the Semi-Saint Tribulation.
"It's over, I have to find a chance to run away. I can't stay here for long!"
The Hall of Unforgiveness has become a ruin, and the Weasel of Cold Sky destroyed this place in one fell swoop, but he was still frightened by the disaster of the Semi-Saint. After landing, he looked at the sky in fear, and then searched around, trying to find an escape route.
As for Rao Yaoyao, who was frozen in the Ganges River, she never said a word from the beginning to the end, but after the "human beings" appeared around her, even the power of the Ganges River could no longer seal her.
"Kaka, kaka..."
The sound of cracking ice is endless.
Not long after, a melodious sword light rose into the sky, but it was Rao Yaoyao who broke through the Ganges seal with his sword and jumped into the sky.
The appearance of all living beings is how Rao Yaoyao can withstand the full blow of the Half Saint!
The power of belief in all living beings is as if it has been cultivated through the world of mortals. After being guided by the Xuan Cang Divine Sword and the power of luck being concentrated, the defense power is simply terrifyingly high.
Rao Shi Hantian's Weasel knocked Ye Xiao out of sight with one blow, and half of Xu Xiaoshou's body was frozen to pieces. Surrounded by "all living beings", Rao Yaoyao was not even hurt at all.
The ice and cold froze the ghosts of mutual life to death, but not all of them could be wiped out.
Just like a semi-saint can slaughter an entire world, but one strike cannot destroy hundreds of millions of sentient beings in the five regions of the continent.
And as long as all living beings are immortal, the Rao Yaoyao who has cultivated the "Sentient Form" can continuously draw strength from it and use it to compete with the power of the semi-saint.
Rao Yaoyao, who was standing high in the sky, had no mercy in her eyes. She only focused on the sword in her hand. She closed her eyes slightly, as if waiting for something. Then she opened her eyes coldly and stared at the sky.
"boom!"
On the Void Island, the calamity clouds finally gathered and formed, covering the entire kingdom of giants.
The sky was completely dark, and thunder was rolling, as if the end of the world was coming.
Suddenly, a thick thunder struck down and penetrated the Sin Palace.
The ancient hall that could trap even a semi-saint should be full of ingenuity. However, the countless formations inside failed to withstand this holy calamity and were directly blasted through.
The Holy Tribulation passed through the Hall of Sin and blasted the ancient and modern Wangyou Tower into existence. A scholar was so thunderous that his hair was blackened and black, and he rolled out in a panic. He looked dumbfounded at everything that happened around him, and he didn't know why.
All the confused people in the labyrinth of Sin Palace were frightened and frightened. They wanted to stay away from this ghost place, but there was no way to avoid it.
Even a semi-saint would not dare to taste the holy calamity again.
This is also the reason why Jiang Buyi was temporarily influenced by the Five Declines of Heaven and Man.
Because the holy calamity ignores the hierarchical realm, those who cannot survive it will die, and those who help will also die. Those who are involved in it, and those who are actively or passively involved without knowing it, will also die.
Even if the Holy Emperor comes, it will only make the Semi-Saint's calamity rage and intensify, turning it into the Holy Emperor's calamity, and it will be impossible to push back this calamity.
The thunder passed through the Hall of Sin, accurately targeted the person who was overcoming the tribulation in the maze, and hit the high-altitude figure in the ruins of the Hall of Unforgiveness.
"boom!"
At this moment, Xu Xiaoshou felt deaf.
Even in the disappearing state and immune to frontal attacks, he only felt the aura of the Holy Tribulation affecting him. His whole body was numb, his inner demons were rolling over, his Taoist heart was scattered, and he was on the verge of collapse.
Qiang Xinxin's swordsmanship subsided for a while, and after coming back to his senses, Xu Xiaoshou found that his body was broken and dripping with blood.
The power of calamity surged around the wound, and even the major passive skills could not be recovered temporarily. It was unknown how long it would take.
"Damn it, what happened to me was an unreasonable disaster!"
Turning his eyes tremblingly, Xu Xiaoshou watched helplessly as the Weasel of Han Tian was trapped in the space of the ruins of the Unforgiveness Hall like himself, unable to escape.
In the aftermath of the Holy Tribulation, Master Han, like a little cat, was blasted into a lake of flesh and blood, and was blasted into the space debris flow. He hurriedly escaped with serious injuries.
The majestic semi-holy ghost beast Hantian Weasel was now reduced to the size of a palm, but he only dared to resist the holy calamity attack with his physical body, and then looked at Jiutian in awe, not daring to use or reveal his own Half-holy power, half-holy aura.
Because this will lead to the evolution of the semi-holy catastrophe, and everyone here will die!
"embarrassed-"
A shrill scream sounded.
Xu Xiaoshou turned around again and saw a figure covered in blood and flesh and blood in the dark place.
Her face and body were covered with dark red blood, and her whole body twitched and twitched, numbing her to death. Finally, she turned into many three-legged black owls and dispersed, returning to an unknown place.
"Night Owl..."
This one is really miserable!
Without the disappearing spell, he was forced to an unknown location by the Ganges attack, and then was blown out of his body by the Holy Tribulation. The next step was life or death, it all depended on God's will.
"grumble-"
Master Han has no intention of looking for Chen Tan again.
Even if that guy mentioned "The Three Ancestors of White Veins" when he was throwing dirty water, he wouldn't dare to stay and find someone to take him away.
The holy calamity has no way, but the way of heaven has feelings.
Under such a brutal attack, the space of the Hall of Sin was once again chaotic, and the ruins of the Hall of Unforgiveness were finally no longer closed.
The chaotic maze passages were blasted out of control by the Holy Tribulation.
There is such a collapsed passage in it, just like when Rao Yaoyao came before, it is lying in the mid-air here, as if it wants to lead everyone away, but the space is very unstable, and it gradually becomes unstable. crack.
"Is this the Sword Immortal..."
Xu Xiaoshou glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, looking deeply at Rao Yaoyao, who was guarded by all living beings in the void to survive the disaster safely, and couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart.
He would no longer think that one or two of the Seven Swordsmen were parallel imports.
Maybe Rao Yao Yao is not smart enough, but when she finds her own path, when the Sword Immortal becomes the Sword Saint, there will be another giant in this world.
When a general doesn't take charge and only cares about charging, even God has to show courtesy to her!
"It's terrible."
Seeing Rao Yaoyao being canonized in front of his eyes, Xu Xiaoshou felt that he was seeing not only the person in front of him, but also the mastermind behind the canonization of Rao Yaoyao at this moment.
A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org
Just like the illusion he encountered when he obtained "Textile Mastery", Xu Xiaoshou saw a hand that was beyond the network of heaven's rules.
This hand led to Rao Yaoyao's setbacks, arranged her growth, and now pushed her to the high position of a semi-saint.
Without Mr. Jiren's guidance, Xu Xiaoshou might have really thought that this moment was a coincidence.
But now, he knew it wasn't.
"This move is too long to play and too far-reaching to see!"
For the first time, Xu Xiaoshou felt afraid of someone he had never met.
This is a chess player of his generation that even the eight acquaintances must treat with caution. He is a rising star that even his own husband praises when he mentions it, but his name is kept secret.
The sky!
"Chess, you guys play slowly, I have no orders to accompany you, so I'm going to leave first..."
Not daring to think about it anymore, taking advantage of the gap before the Holy Tribulation reunited and fell for the second time, Xu Xiaoshou aimed at the space passage that was inserted horizontally due to space chaos, and swiped past.
