Of course Dugu Wutian doesn't care about the survival of the two kingdoms in the Central Region and other sects. For Qi Ying, it doesn't matter whether these forces are alive or dead. The best thing to do now is to increase their strength as much as possible.
For a long time, Qi Ying practiced the "Sword of Immortality" in the Linsen tribe, and Dugu Wutian gave him some pointers from time to time to help him progress faster.
With diligent practice, Qi Ying has mastered the "Sword of Immortality" to the twenty-seventh position.
As for the remaining nine postures, each posture is more difficult and obscure than the previous one.
There are also tips for practicing sword skills.
Dugu Wutian began to teach: "If you want to truly master the sword art, you must not only be familiar with its moves and power control, but also improve your mental strength. Only in this way can you form a 'sword domain'."
"Isn't the 'Sword Domain' produced by the 'Sword Intent'?"
Qi Ying was confused.
"That's not the case." Dugu Wutian shook his head, "When a person's practice of swordsmanship and understanding of heaven and earth reach a sufficiently profound level, he can naturally produce a 'sword domain'. However, if one can practice swordsmanship to the point of producing a 'sword domain' Warriors at the domain level generally possess the 'Sword Intent'."
"oh?"
"You possess the 'True Meaning of the Sword', and your swordsmanship training is definitely sufficient. Your understanding of the world and your connection with it are actually similar, but your consciousness is not strong enough to control the power of the world around you."
"Divine consciousness?"
"Spiritual consciousness is a person's spiritual power. Divine consciousness cannot only be wide, it must be strong, so that it can detect every movement around it and control the power of heaven and earth. In the first stage, when a trace of wind or a grain of sand, When all of them will arouse your attention and alertness, the 'Sword Domain' is created, which does not require high mental strength. In the second stage, control the 'Sword Domain', increase your sword attack, and oppress yourself. The enemies in the 'Sword Domain' are the ones who truly utilize the Sword Domain, and the mental power it requires is terrifying. Generally, those who can use the Sword Domain are at least in the Tianwu realm - but it is not absolute. Control of the Sword Domain is not absolute. Strength depends on mental strength.”
Qi Ying almost understood.
Like Chu Yi in the past, Sun Jiansan, Lian Shanyi and others he met later were all in the first stage. They mainly used the sword field to increase their perception, and the direct power improvement was not that big.
But Lin Ping can use his "Invincible Sword Domain" to increase his offensive methods, because Lin Ping is in the Tianwu realm, has strong mental strength, and has a high degree of control over the sword domain.
"How can we increase the strength of our spiritual consciousness?"
Qi Ying asked.
"For normal people, to improve the intensity of their spiritual consciousness, one is to improve their cultivation. As the state goes up, the intensity of their spiritual consciousness can be improved accordingly; the other is to meditate, meditate, and continuously consume and recover spiritual power, which can also increase spiritual power. Improved." Dugu Wutian smiled slightly, "But, I have different ways."
"In what way?"
"Study the formation!"
Formation!
Qiying is no stranger to the game.
He obtained a batch of formation books from the mysterious cave left by Qi Yiwu, and learned many principles of formations from them. His attainments in formations were actually not far behind those of ordinary formation masters.
But the accumulation is limited. At best, it is to arrange some necessary formations according to the records in the classics.
In terms of formation, it is in the learning and simple application stage.
And what Dugu Wutian said was "researching" the formation!
Dugu Wutian waved his hand, and a large number of stone plates, jade talismans, jade slips and other formations appeared in front of him, as well as a set of tools for carving inscriptions, as well as some jade slips and classics inscribed with a large number of formations: "Learn martial arts, Sword techniques can actually improve mental power. However, formations are much more complicated than them. A person's practice has his own body as the basis. The use of martial arts and sword techniques is relatively simple, while formations are rooted in nothingness. On the basis of it, the formation master created it alone... When you can create your own earth-level formation, you will definitely gain the mental power to control the 'Sword Domain'!"
"Starting today, the time you spend practicing the "Eternal Life Sword Art" every day will be reduced by half. The remaining time will be used to study formations and rest and sleep! It's okay if you can't create your own formations. At least your mental strength will be greatly improved."
"By the time you complete the practice of "The Sword of Immortality", it is estimated that the strength of your spiritual consciousness has reached the required level. At that time, then... Humph, I won't say more. As long as you practice according to the steps I arranged, when you succeed, you will Everyone will be surprised by the change in their own strength!"
Dugu Wutian arranged a large number of training tasks for Qi Ying.
Qi Ying naturally accepted them all, but made another request to Dugu Wutian: "Teacher, I want to take Brother Liu into the Jiuyou Mountains! I want to practice in the Jiuyou Mountains for a while."
"It's okay." Dugu Wutian looked relaxed, "With your strength, not many people in the world can threaten you! Experiencing more combat experience can also improve your mastery of sword techniques."
same day.
Qi Ying took Brother Liu away from the Linsen tribe and went straight to the depths of the Jiuyou Mountains!
Dugu Wutian stayed in the Linsen tribe and chatted with Priest Dawson for a long time every day. They often talked for half a day. Sometimes he would look in the direction of the Jiuyou Mountains or the Tianjian Sect, with a little sadness in his eyes. .
…
Deep in the Jiuyou Mountains.
Boom boom!
On a hillside, a violent explosion occurred, startling countless monsters and beasts.
A plume of black smoke rose from the hillside. Qi Ying wiped the sweat from his head and muttered: "It's really difficult to master the 'Explosive Flame Formation' on this level, but once it is successfully burned and made into a 'formation talisman', I will then Throwing one 'array talisman' can cause a full blow equivalent to that of a ninth-level Earth Martial Realm warrior. Throw a hundred of them... Even those in the Divine Martial Realm have to hide and go! Hehe!"
With the in-depth study of formations, Qi Ying finally understood why studying formations would greatly increase the intensity of his spiritual consciousness.
If an array mage wants to engrave a complete array, he must first understand the principles of the array, and then inscribe runes on the array. Every rune must not be wrong, the order of the runes must be arranged, and the array must be A slack must be assembled in a specific way, and if something goes wrong, the array will be defective or not usable at all.
For Qi Ying, it is not difficult at all to carve runes and control the formation... The only thing that requires a lot of effort is to figure out the principles of the formation!
And pondering the principles of the formation is precisely the biggest step in improving mental strength.
Most formation masters, even if they are not formation masters, can become proficient in the details of inscribing runes, but formation masters who are not at the master level have to study the operation of formations, the relationship with heaven and earth, etc....
"Hey, I've only reached the thirtieth position of the "Eternal Life Sword Technique". There's still a long way to go!"
Qi Ying glanced at Brother Liu who was biting the corpse of a monster not far away: "Unknowingly, it's been half a month since I left the Linsen tribe! I don't know what's going on in the Central Territory."
