"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
Seeing this, Emperor Kui Mou at the side immediately asked, "Daoist Fellow Xu Xing, have you found anything?"
After spending some time together, Emperor Kui Mou knew that Yang Qi's strength and methods were not inferior to his, and even his vision and knowledge were much stronger than his. Therefore, Yang Qi discovered the abnormality of the dojo earlier than him, and he was not surprised at all. So after noticing the change in Yang Qi's expression, he asked about it immediately.
“There are indeed some discoveries.”
Yang Qi nodded slightly, and then continued, "Fellow Daoist Kui Mou, I don't know if you have noticed that the closer we are to the stone statue, the more lively it becomes, as if it is coming alive. When we are farther away from the stone statue, this state of the stone statue will weaken accordingly."
"Yes." Emperor Kui Mou nodded slightly. He had discovered this a long time ago. After all, they were getting closer and closer to the stone statue, and both of them were very clear about the process.
Yang Qi looked at Emperor Kui Mou in front of him and said calmly, "Daoyou Kui Mou, are we now at the closest place to the stone statue?"
Um
The closest place to the statue
Hearing Yang Qi's words, Emperor Kui Mou was obviously stunned for a moment, but he soon understood the meaning of Yang Qi's words, and his eyes turned to the stone statue on the platform.
“Daoyou Xuxing, what you mean is…” Emperor Kui Mou’s expression froze.
Yang Qi looked at the high platform not far away and said slowly, "That high platform is the closest place to the stone statue!"
In the entire dojo, the place closest to the platform is not the listening area below the dojo, but the preaching area on the platform. If the closer you get to the stone statue, the more lively it becomes, even as if it comes alive, then what if you go directly to the platform
Will the stone statue undergo other changes and truly come alive
The reason why Yang Qi and the other two had not thought about it in this regard before was very simple. The stone statue appeared on the high platform in the center of the Taoist temple, and they subconsciously regarded the stone statue as the person who was preaching, and they were the practitioners who came to listen to the sermon.
However, the owner of the ruins did not clearly stipulate this point at all. The stone statues on the platform are not necessarily the people who preach, nor are they necessarily the people who listen to the sermon. In this case, they can climb onto the platform.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Almost in an instant, Yang Qi and Emperor Kui Mou flashed and came directly to the platform. At the same time, the stone statue came to life completely and looked at Yang Qi and Emperor Kui Mou.
"Welcome two fellow Taoists. I hope we can both gain something from this discussion." The stone statue said while looking at Yang Qi and the other person in front of it.
Discuss the Tao!
Yang Qi and Emperor Kui Mou looked at each other and immediately understood that the Taoist temple before them was not a place for preaching, but for discussing the Tao. After all, discussing the Tao in a Taoist temple was a very common thing in itself.
It's just that Yang Qi and Emperor Kui Mou subconsciously extended the stone statue to the owner of the ruins. How could a strong man at the third level of the peak of the Martial Emperor discuss the Tao with them? Since it's not a discussion of the Tao, then they can only preach!
It was not until they climbed onto the high platform that they realized that they had thought too much. The stone statue before them was not left for preaching, but for discussing the truth.
If they want to pass the test before them, what they need to do is not to listen to the sermon, but to discuss it!
The stone statue looked at Yang Qi and the other person in front of it, and slowly said, "Tao, the beginning of all things..."
Although they were discussing Dao, the core of the discussion was the stone statue in front of them. What the stone statue talked about was the extremely common sword-way, which just fit Yang Qi. Even Emperor Kui Mou knew something about the sword-way.
Under the guidance of the stone statue, Yang Qi and Emperor Kui Mou shared their understandings of the way of the sword. As the level of their discussion became higher and higher, Emperor Kui Mou, who did not follow the path of the sword, seemed to be struggling in the discussion.
Yang Qi, on the other hand, was still discussing the Dao with the stone statue in front of him. After all, Yang Qi's swordsmanship was originally inherited from Sword Emperor Wu, who was once one of the most powerful swordsmen in the Endless Universe. With Sword Emperor Wu's swordsmanship as a foundation, it was naturally not difficult for Yang Qi to discuss the Dao with the stone statue in front of him.
Emperor Kui Mou looked at Yang Qi who was still discussing the Dao with the stone statue, and was filled with emotion, "As expected of you, Daoist Fellow Xu Xing, you have such understanding and attainments in the Dao of the Sword."
Although Emperor Kui Mou did not follow the path of swordsmanship, due to his bloodline, his attainments in swordsmanship were not bad. However, compared with Yang Qi, there was no comparison at all.
The comprehension of the sword displayed by Yang Qi is probably beyond the reach of ordinary emperor-level practitioners. How could Emperor Kui Mou not admire him
Time passed by minute by minute, and as the content of the discussion became more and more profound, Emperor Kui Mou felt it was difficult to listen. Yang Qi, who could originally have a heated discussion with the stone statue, was now clearly in a subordinate position during the discussion and was dominated by the stone statue.
However, Emperor Kui Mou knew that this was not necessarily a bad thing for Yang Qi. The reason was simple. The stone statue was left by the owner of the ruins. If there was a sword tradition left by a third-level warrior at the peak of the Martial Emperor level as a foundation, the more profound the content involved in the discussion, the more help it would bring to Yang Qi, and he would gain a lot from the discussion.
Emperor Kui Mou's guess was correct. As the content of the discussion became more and more profound, Yang Qi's own understanding made it difficult for him to discuss the Tao on the same level as the stone statue. However, the content of the stone statue's discussion gave him a lot of inspiration.
These inspirations alone are definitely no less than a legacy left by a powerful Martial Emperor at the second level of his peak, and it is also a legacy in the way of the sword. One can imagine how much help they can provide to Yang Qi.
In the following discussion, Yang Qi had less and less time to interrupt, but his gains were increasing. Many of the confusions in his understanding of the swordsmanship were suddenly cleared up, and at the same time, he had many new insights. Once he absorbed and digested these gains, his understanding of the swordsmanship would definitely be greatly improved.
This went on for an unknown amount of time, and Yang Qi was completely unable to participate in the discussion. The stone statue immediately returned to its original appearance, as if it had died in an instant, without a trace of vitality.
Looking at the stone statue in front of him, Yang Qi bowed respectfully and said solemnly, "Thank you, senior."
He gained a lot from this discussion of the Dao. In the beginning it could still be considered a discussion of the Dao, but in the later stages, it was completely the stone statue that was guiding him. Naturally, he was extremely grateful.
Seeing this, Emperor Kui Mou at the side could not help but sigh, "Daoyou Xuxing, it seems that you have gained a lot."
He was completely unable to understand the content involved in the later stage of the discussion, but he could still see that Yang Qi had gained a lot in this discussion, a gain that made him extremely envious.
