The old monk thought for a while and said, "In the past, it was easy for you to become the world's sword leader, but now it is difficult to become the world's sword leader."
Ding Ning nodded, he could understand what the old monk meant.
However, the old monk was afraid that Ding Ning might misunderstand his meaning, and said: "It's not that you need to regain your cultivation now, but many practitioners are ahead of you. The key is that you have truly created an era. You and Ba Shanjian This field has greatly advanced the realm of the entire world of practitioners."
The old monk's reasoning is great, but the reality is very simple.
Just like a sect, there are practitioners of four realms and five realms among them. There are almost no practitioners of six realms and seven realms, but suddenly a group of masters of seven realms appears. The overall realm of this sect includes five realms and six realms. There will naturally be many more practitioners in the next period.
The fact is that several outstanding masters can often affect the rise and fall of an era.
Wang Jingmeng and Bashan Sword Field rose strongly when the world of practitioners was in decline. At that time, the number of practitioners above the sixth and seventh realms was indeed very small, but now Ding Ning is in the era after Bashan Sword Field. Many sects Rise, just like Ye Celeng's generation, many people who were deeply influenced by the Bashan sword field at that time have become masters.
If there is a battle like that many years later, facing more masters, and there may even be new eight-level practitioners in addition to Yuan Wu, then what kind of cultivation is needed to truly win and become the leader at this moment? The true invincibility that Ding Ning said
This was a question that the old monk was very interested in, so he thought about it again, and asked very respectfully: "Have you reached the realm of Yuanwu?"
"In Changling in the past, I was between the seventh and eighth realms. I had some doubts about some things. I didn't fully understand them, so I stayed between crossing and not crossing. The realm of cultivation is only slightly ahead of you now." Ding Ning looked at the old monk and said calmly: "After more than ten years in Changling, I repeated some of the paths I traveled, and even corrected some of the mistakes I made in my previous practice. Those are actually very simple and do not require any brains. , thinking about the problem between the seventh realm and the eighth realm, when it comes to the realm at this time, it is naturally several steps higher than Yuanwu."
The old monk was stunned, but laughed at himself, "I'm so confused, I still ask such a question, you were far ahead of Yuan Wu in the past, even if you let him practice for several years, these ten years, In terms of realm, it is naturally far beyond him."
Ding Ning looked at him and said earnestly, "It's not enough to have realm alone."
The old monk thought about the purpose of coming to this mountain, looked at the wooden stick in his hand, and came to his senses, saying: "There are still body and utensils, the accumulation of time."
Ding Ning also looked at the wooden stick in the old monk's hand.
The wooden staff had been washed much by blood, and now the blunt luster like sludge on the surface disappeared a lot, but a layer of amber-like bone luster was revealed inside.
Then he nodded and said nothing more.
"I want to serve by your side."
The old monk bowed slightly, saluted Ding Ning with Changling etiquette, and said solemnly: "Only you in the world can have the possibility of becoming the sword leader in the world."
His skin was purple and black as lacquer, but when he said this, the skin on his body shone with a faint golden light against the sunlight.
Although the energy of heaven and earth in this whole sky was extremely weak, it also changed naturally. From time to time, there were holy beams of light falling from the sky.
In the ice cave in the distance, standing like a ghost, the general who watched the old monk quietly from a distance also showed a shocked look in his pupils for the first time.
The distance was too far, so he naturally couldn't hear the conversation between the old monk and Ding Ning and others, and he didn't know who Ding Ning and grandson Qianxue were.
However, it was obvious that after the old monk killed the Xueji cavalry army, he had a conversation with the young man.
With just a few words of dialogue, the old monk had an inexplicable enlightenment, and he faintly wanted to break through the realm successfully, and he would take the last half step and truly enter the eighth realm.
This general naturally understands that practitioners can change their appearance and even body posture. Looking young is not necessarily true youth. A powerful help for monks to break through
…
Ding Ning looked at the old monk calmly.
Many of his enemies before hated his calmness, but they didn't know where his bearing came from.
The old monk had said something similar to serving before he set off, but he understood that the old monk meant something very different at this time.
The old monk is convinced that only he can truly surpass all practitioners in the world and be truly invincible.
So at this time, his words are an oath.
He wants to serve left and right until Ding Ning reaches that state.
Such an oath means that the meaning of his next life is to protect Ding Ning to reach that state.
That was a realm that he couldn't reach, but wanted to see.
This is not difficult for the eldest grandson Qianxue to understand.
The old monk pursued his whole life, just wanting to see a higher state, no matter he reached it, or he could witness it reached by others.
This old monk is a true practice idiot.
He was only worried that Ding Ning would not need him to serve him in the future.
The world is full of idiots.
The difference is all kinds of idiots.
Looking at the faint golden light that naturally glowed on the old monk's skin, feeling that it was not the glow from the old monk's body, but the light from countless thin heaven and earth energy coming together and colliding with the surface of his body, Changsun Qianxue took a deep breath. Taking a breath, he turned his head to look at Ding Ning: "So the key to breaking the realm from the seventh to the eighth realm is the same as the practice at the beginning. It is not about absorbing, but about letting go?"
This is a rare opportunity, not only related to the practice of the old monk alone, but even for Ding Ning, it is an opportunity that has never been experienced before. After all, in his practice experience, the seventh and eighth realms are broken The last step of the situation, but because of his doubts, he did not really take it.
At this time, the old monk's state of being close to breaking the boundary is just a kind of proof.
So Ding Ning was also very dignified, and said slowly: "It's about letting go, and it's about not being fixed on yourself, not breaking or standing."
These words are very mysterious to ordinary practitioners, but even the eldest grandson Qianxue is not far from the eighth realm, so she understands it.
"San Gong?" She frowned, and said two words very simply.
"The seventh realm will eventually reach the eighth realm. I'm afraid that's the case. Breaking away all cultivation and emptying the mind and body will naturally lead to a new world, which can't be broken or established." Ding Ning looked at her and the old monk, and said bitterly: " One thing I didn't figure out in the past was that I was worried that this would be a cycle. After all, although there were practitioners of the eight realms in the classics, and there were even mentions of the nine realms, but in our era, no one could really enter the eight realms. Even the previous generation of practitioners did not have it, and no one has really witnessed it with their own eyes. So I doubt that this is like birth, old age, sickness and death. It is the natural cycle of practice to the end. Many stories are also deceptive. There is still a point of doubt, that the true energy can be dissipated, the body can be emptied, but how can the spirit and will be emptied?"
The eldest grandson Qianxue listened carefully, she had no doubts.
Because she knew very well that Wang Jingmeng was able to far surpass the current practitioners because he was too good at questioning and creating his own way. Facts have proved that the cultivation methods in many classics are not the best, and many truths and stories are indeed deceiving.
Ding Ning raised his head slightly, took another deep breath, and said slowly: "Later, I figured it out, the so-called release of spiritual will...is the deepest obsession. Intangible things are just like tangible things. This is the deepest obsession, on the contrary, it seems that the mind is not open enough, and the spiritual will seems to shrink and condense at one point. Just like if the true energy in our body is condensed at one point, the meridians in the body will be empty."
"So the stories in many classics are indeed deceptive."
The eldest grandson Qianxue understood thoroughly, and looked at Ding Ning, whose eyebrows were full of sadness and emotion, "So it's not the kind of practitioner who is particularly open-minded and cares about the common people in the world. Only a little cultivator can truly break through the Seventh Realm and enter the Eighth Realm, even for extremely narrow-minded villains."
"It's very simple. This is the ultimate truth." Ding Ning smiled wryly. "Who can achieve the true ultimate benevolence and selflessness? But it is easier to achieve the ultimate stinginess, selfishness, and greed." .”
"There are no truly benevolent people in the world, but there are truly idiots, no matter what they are obsessed with." Ding Ning added while looking at her.
"Let's go."
Changsun Qianxue stopped talking, she nodded, and then said, "I will lead the way next."
Ding Ning gave her a surprised look.
Changsun Qianxue said: "The glaciers here have never melted. There will naturally be traces where practitioners pass by. Some traces are new and some traces are old."
Ding Ning immediately felt relieved.
The Nine Nether Nether King Sword and the extremely cold vitality between heaven and earth have a natural induction. Even though the traces of the former great master of Lingxu Sword Sect have been covered by wind and snow and time, but Changsun Qianxue said that if she can find it, then she will definitely be able to find it. Feel it.
Neither he nor Changsun Qianxue were worried about the inexplicably existing army here.
Regardless of whether the opponent's target is the old monk or the sword, whether the opponent goes first or they go first will not change the strangulation itself.
The three set off.
The wooden stick was still in Ding Ning's hands.
The old monk was still at the forefront.
Although his most powerful perception is in the body, not between these ice and snow, but his cultivation base has reached the edge of breaking the seventh and eighth realms, and the whole person is in an indescribable state, as if You can even sense Changsun Qianxue's eyes and intentions.
So it seems that he is still leading the way.
Changsun Qianxue was able to understand the barriers of the seventh and eighth realms, and when the cultivation base of true energy reached the final breakthrough, all he needed to find was the obsession to break through the barriers like an opportunity, and for him, there was no There are absolutely good people and bad people, only people with various purposes for themselves.
