All the disciples left Dongtian Pavilion.
Yan Jin was dragged away by his fifth brother ‘Xue Feng’, while Liu Qiyue was going to practice with her other master.
The Venerable Master is the common master of all Yuanchu Mountain disciples for the past three hundred years. He simply gave some guidance to the disciples during the ceremony. The disciples still have to explore the real practice on their own! And if you are lucky, you can become a disciple of other gods and demons. For example, there are many people who worship the gods and demons as princes or gods and demons as kings in Yuanchu Mountain.
Liu Qiyue’s other master is the Fenghou God and Demon ‘Tianxinghou’. His archery skills are enough to threaten the Fengwang God and Demon. It was the master specially arranged for Liu Qiyue by Yuanchu Mountain.
......
Meng Chuan went to the Book Cave to read books for most of an hour before returning to Dongtian Pavilion.
At this moment, night has fallen, the cold wind is blowing, the surroundings of Dongtian Pavilion are deserted, and no one can be seen for a long time.
"Huh?" Meng Chuan walked to the door of Dongtian Pavilion, only to find a person walking from a distance inside Dongtian Pavilion. He was an old man in gray robe. He bowed slightly and said: "Master Meng Chuan, Please follow me."
Meng Chuan nodded and walked into Dongtian Pavilion.
The road was winding and winding. After walking for a while, I saw a small pavilion in the garden. A long-haired man was sitting there leisurely. A pot of wine was warming. He drank and turned over the wine. Looking at a file.
The old man in gray robe bowed and retreated.
Meng Chuan walked closer and said respectfully: "Master."
"Meng Chuan has been interested in painting since he was a child. He has invited painters from Dongning Prefecture for ten years. He painted "Horse" at the age of three, and his painting skills are so superb that he is already a first-class painter in the world. In addition to practicing, he also paints for at least an hour every day." The long-haired man looked at Meng Chuan with a smile, "Am I right? ”
Meng Chuan was shocked.
The picture of the horse has indeed been seen by many people, including his father, clan elders, Liu Qiyue, Yun Qingping and many others.
“It is extremely rare to be born with a soul. As far as I know, there are only three cases in the history of the human race where babies are born with souls. One of their fathers or mothers must have reached the realm of creation. , and even more deliberately condensed part of his strength to pass on to his children, so that the baby could be born with soul." The long-haired man smiled, "And your parents are very weak, and they are too far away from the realm of creation, so it is obviously impossible to pass it on from your parents. The power is given to you."
"There is only one possibility. Your painting skills are so extraordinary that you have been able to 'enter the Tao and ask the mind'. Lost the soul."
The long-haired man looked at Meng Chuan with a smile, "Am I right?"
Meng Chuan was shocked.
Before he said anything, the other party guessed that he had condensed his soul with the help of painting.
"Master has a wise eye." Meng Chuan said respectfully.
"You're not really a wise person. I guessed it right away when I saw your innate soul." The long-haired man smiled and said, "In the history of the human race, there are no souls in the world except that one."The three babies relied on the power inherited from their parents, and the others were all due to the help of outsiders. "
"He is good at piano art, painting, calligraphy, and even a blacksmith... Anyone who reaches the ultimate level of skill can enter the Tao and ask the mind. Every time you inquire about your true heart, your soul will transform and your soul will undergo a transformation. "The long-haired man said, "However, it is too difficult and too rare for these heretical skills to reach the state of 'entering the Tao and asking the mind'. ”
“We tried to cultivate. ”
“It’s useless! A truly peerless painter cannot be cultivated. Even if you become a peerless painter in your seventies or eighties, it will still be too late. "The long-haired man said, "And wasting too much time on layman skills will also have an impact on swordsmanship and swordsmanship practice. "
"The most important thing is... after reaching the 'realm of Tao' with swordsmanship and swordsmanship, you can also use swordsmanship and swordsmanship to question your heart, and you can also 'enter the Tao and ask your heart'. "The long-haired man said, "Since swordsmanship, swordsmanship and other skills can also inquire into one's true heart. There is no need for geniuses to waste their time on external skills. ”
Meng Chuan understands.
The skills are all the same.
Painting is a skill, and swordsmanship and swordsmanship are also skills. When swordsmanship and swordsmanship reach a high enough level, Able to inquire into one's own heart.
Painting is a skill that expresses one's inner emotions. Swordsmanship is originally for killing enemies. To achieve the goal of "entering the Tao and asking the mind," sword skills must reach the "realm of the Tao."
The first level of swordsmanship and swordsmanship is the 'realm of unity', the second level is the 'realm of power', the third level is the 'realm of meaning', the fourth level is the 'realm of soul', and the fifth level 'The Realm of the Dao'. It is difficult to ask the mind with swordsmanship until you reach the 'Dao of Swordsmanship'.
"You are considered a genius in swordsmanship. "The long-haired man said, "In terms of painting, he is a peerless genius. The painting skills alone are enough to be handed down for thousands of years. "
"Master is too praiseworthy. "Meng Chuan was a little embarrassed by the praise.
Of course, his most proud works, "Looks of All Living Things" and "Toward the Rising Sun", have never been made public. He asked himself and some of the most famous painters in history. Compared with the famous works, it is not bad at all. What the Venerable said has been handed down for thousands of years is indeed not a lie.
To be able to enter the Tao and ask the mind is to reach the extreme, and even a painting can affect the mood of others. .
“Ask your heart, you can find it but you can’t ask for it. Therefore, it is very difficult to improve the soul. "The long-haired man said, "The soul is related to the gods and demons of the Dark Star Realm, the gods and demons of the Infinite Realm, and the cultivation of the Creation Realm. Yuanshen represents your potential. Therefore, the secret of condensing your soul must be kept secret. If the demon clan knows that you have condensed your soul in the mortal world...the demon kings will definitely come to assassinate you. ”
“Disciple understands. "Meng Chuan said respectfully.
There are also demon kings lurking in the world.
For example, if some city gates are breached, demon kings will come in. Many even lurk in the human world. Even if the human race retakes the city gate, it will be difficult to find the demon kings who are hiding.
The unstable entrance to the world will also make the demon kings difficult to find.They sneak in.
How was the Heavenly Demon Sect formed? It was the demon kings who sneaked in to lure the human traitors, and finally formed the Heavenly Demon Sect.
These lurking demon kings are always looking for critical moments to attack, posing a great threat.
"You don't have to worry." The long-haired man smiled, "As long as you don't use the power of the soul, unless you are in the realm of creation, you will not be able to see that you have condensed the soul."
"Using the power of the soul, the level of the lords, gods, demons, and kings may be discovered, but as long as you are more than a hundred feet away from them, they will not be able to discover you." The long-haired man said.
Meng Chuan was convinced.
Got it.
There is no need to worry about using the power of the soul even if the distance between the king, gods and demons is more than a hundred feet.
"Actually, when you become a god and demon in the Great Sun Realm, you no longer need to hide the power of your soul." The long-haired man smiled and said, "With your talent, I believe you will be able to achieve success within fifteen years." "The gods and demons of the Great Sun Realm."
Meng Chuan nodded and listened. Among the gods and demons of the Great Sun Realm, there are those who have successfully condensed their souls.
"Of course, the most important aspects of the cultivation of gods and demons are the three aspects, the physical body, the soul, and the realm of your sword skills. Your soul has advantages, but if you can't reach the threshold in other aspects, you still can't reach the dark level. Star realm gods and demons." The long-haired man said, "The most important of the three aspects is the realm of swordsmanship. You haven't even condensed your 'sword intent' yet, and you still have a long way to go."
< p> "Disciple understands." Meng Chuan said respectfully. He also admitted that his love for swordsmanship was indeed not as good as painting."The realm of swordsmanship is more important than the physical soul, so you need to choose a suitable swordsmanship to practice." The long-haired man said, "I have a lot of inheritance of swordsmanship in Yuanchu Mountain. In this way, you Use your best sword skills now and let me see which sword skills are suitable for you."
"Yes."
Meng Chuan immediately walked to the open space in the garden next to him.
The true energy of Meng Chuan's physical body was condensed into one, and his body flashed. When his body passed more than ten feet, a water knife light silently cut through the sky without causing a trace of wind.
This is the move he has practiced for the longest time in so many years - the sword-drawing stance!
"Yes." The long-haired man nodded slightly, and he was quite satisfied with Meng Chuan's drawing of the sword.
The sword drawing style was performed three times in a row.
He then used ‘Shake the Falling Moon’ again!
Use the protective sword technique again!
Finally, he used the remaining move of the Thunder World-Destroying Sword's "Five Thunders Come to the World". The first two moves were the "Five Thunders Come to the World" and the third move was "Shaking the Moon."
"This disciple is good at these moves." Meng Chuan put away his sword and said respectfully.
"Haha." The long-haired man laughed, "I was shocked when I saw you cast the Five Thunders to Come to the World. How could you possibly cast the complete Five Thunders to Come to the World at your level? It turned out to be just a disabled person. The move was combined with another sword move."
Meng Chuan also immediately said: "The disciple received the fragment of the Thunder World Destroying Sword, and his consciousness accepted the inheritance, but he couldn't bear it after only accepting part of it.. "
"After all, you are a mortal body, and your soul is too weak. "The long-haired man said, "The physical body is like a vessel, and the soul is like the water in the vessel. Your mortal body is like a glass of water, with naturally little water in it. If you reach the level of gods and demons in the Great Sun Realm, your physical body will be like a large water tank that can hold much more water. ”
“Your physical body limits your soul. "The long-haired man said.
"Disciple understands. Meng Chuan suddenly realized.
It is said that in the Great Sun Realm, after condensing the soul, one can receive the complete inheritance of the Black Iron Book. But his own soul could not even accept a complete fragment of the Black Iron Book. It turned out that they were from each other. Yuan Shen, there is a huge difference.
"Your Yuan Shen quality is quite high, but it is too small. "The long-haired man said, "When you become a god and demon, your soul will naturally become much larger. When the day comes when your soul is strong enough to bear the inheritance of the Black Iron Heavenly Book, I will let you accept the inheritance. "
"Thank you, Master. "Meng Chuan continued.
"Looking at your sword skills, it is obvious that you are good at sharp swordsmanship. "The long-haired man said, "I have nine books in total of the Black Iron Book of Sword Techniques in Yuanchu Mountain. Among them, there are three quick ones. They are the "Thunder World-Destroying Sword", "Xinyi Sword" and "Heaven and Earth Wandering Dragon Sword" you just used. "
The long-haired man continued: "But of these three sword techniques, the "Thunder World-Destroying Sword" is only 30% compatible with you! Because this sword technique was created by the 'Venerable Thunder God' more than 30,000 years ago, this sword technique pays more attention to 'dominance' than speed. It is extremely fast and extremely domineering. Your sword skills are not very overbearing, so the compatibility with you is only 30%. But this sword technique is very suitable for the Thunder World-Destroying Demonic Body. "
""Heaven and Earth Wandering Dragon Sword" is extremely fast and extremely cunning. It is 50% suitable for you. "
""Xinyi Knife" is a more pure quick knife, and it is 90% compatible with you. ”
