Chapter 137: Observing the Sword Diagram and Concentrating the Sword Intention
"Disciple is willing, thank you Master." Li Yi said very excitedly. In fact, he came today just to learn the art of sword control. In his mind now, there is still the scene when Dongfang Bai defeated the middle-aged man in blood in front of the secret realm. , such powerful sword-control skills left a deep impression on him.
"Get up! No need to be polite. I will explain some basic essentials of sword control to you first. You should listen carefully." Dongfang Bai said very seriously.
"The sword-controlling technique in my hand was obtained in an ancient monk's cave. It was founded by an ancient swordsman. When ancient people practiced sword-controlling skills, most of them focused on breaking through all kinds of magic with one sword and taking heads with flying swords thousands of miles away.
But the sword-controlling technique I am practicing is a deviant approach to swordsmanship. I need to practice ten thousand swords. Although it is said that one sword can defeat ten thousand swords, if I cannot kill the enemy with one sword, I will probably die, so I need to practice a lot. In fact, it is not necessary to cultivate 10,000 flying swords. If there are really 10,000 flying swords, we simply do not have that much mana and spiritual power to drive them.
The more flying swords the sword control technique can control, the more powerful they will be. Therefore, according to the number of flying swords that can be driven, sword control is divided into five levels. The first level is able to control one flying sword, the second level is able to control ten flying swords, and so on, and the fifth level is able to control Thousands of flying swords. But the difference is also very big. For example, on the first level, the power of commanding one flying sword is different from that of commanding nine flying swords. On the second level, controlling ten flying swords is also different from controlling ninety-nine flying swords.
In addition, to practice this sword control skill, you also need to understand the sword intention. If you don't understand the sword intention, then the sword control skill will not be very powerful. At most, you can control a few flying swords to kill randomly. In the end, it depends on your mana. The strength of the true energy, generally speaking, if the mana is weak, controlling multiple flying swords will not last long. Dongfang Bai said, and Li Yi was listening carefully.
"Master, I see that the flying sword you practice seems to have a sword formation, and it seems to be very powerful. What is going on?" Li Yi asked curiously.
After listening to Li Yi's inquiry, Dongfang Bai showed a look of pride on his face and said: "Sword formation, I improved it based on the sword control technique, because no matter in the foundation building stage or the golden elixir stage, we can There is a limit to the number of flying swords that can be driven. For example, in the foundation building stage, the most people who can practice sword control are the first level. Only a few monks can practice to the second level, but in the golden elixir stage, very few can practice to the third level. , most of them have reached the second level. If the dozens or hundreds of flying swords are attacked together, the attack power will naturally be weakened. Therefore, I combined the formation method with the sword control technique to create a sword formation. The power of magical power and sword control can rise to several levels at once. Generally speaking, the stronger your formation is, the more flying swords you have, the stronger it will be. But if you want to combine sword control with formation, you still have to do it. It’s very difficult, and there are still many problems. I have some initial insights, but they are not perfect. I can give you some of my own insights, and you may have to figure it out yourself later. "
"Oh, so that's it. So how do I understand the sword's intention?" Li Yi asked.
"It's simple. I have a sword picture. As long as you only need to look at the sword picture and let your soul feel the sword's meaning in it, that's it. The effect is very fast, but the process is definitely quite painful. Your soul must endure it. The more times you experience the strangulation of the sword intention in the picture, you will naturally be able to gather your own sword intention. Of course, you can also understand it by yourself. You can also feel it by learning some sword techniques. If you use it more, you will naturally be able to feel the sword intention. , but that will take a lot of time, which one should you choose?" After Dongfang Bai finished speaking, he looked at Li Yi with a malicious expression.
After listening to Dongfang Bai's words, Li Yi's expression was obviously a little stunned. He always felt that there was something wrong with it, especially when he heard that he had to withstand the strangulation of the sword, he felt a chill in his heart, but Li Yi didn't have time. Go and study the classics of swordsmanship.
Finally, Li Yi gritted his teeth and said, "I choose to watch the sword drawings and condense the sword's intention."
"Yes, you have perseverance. Looking at the sword pictures is the fastest way to understand the meaning of the sword, but you can't rush the process." After saying that, Dongfang Bai took out a picture scroll from the storage bag and hung it on the wall. Li Yi fixed his eyes. At first glance, he saw that the picture was full of swords. Swords of various shapes, long and short, were densely packed. Li Yi was a little confused when he looked at it, because he saw from the picture that apart from the swords, there were no other swords. thing, and didn’t feel any sword intent.
As if seeing Li Yi's doubts, Dongfang Bai spoke again: "This picture can't be seen with your eyes. Use your soul to slowly wrap this picture, and then infiltrate it with your spiritual thoughts one by one." Go in and feel every sword in the picture.”
After listening to the other party's words, Li Yi finally radiated his soul and slowly penetrated into the picture. However, as soon as Li Yi penetrated in, Li Yi seemed to see a sharp sword slashing towards him. With just one sword strike, Li Yi's soul was chopped into pieces. Li Yi quickly withdrew from his spiritual thoughts, groaned, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"It hurts," Li Yi felt very painful, as if someone was cutting his own flesh with a knife.
"Don't stop, feel your shattered soul, mixed with a trace of sword intent. You have to make this sword intent your own. If you wait for the sword intent to dissipate, your chopped soul this time will be in vain. Damn it." Dongfang said quickly.
In this way, Li Yi began his ecstatic practice. His daily work was to use his mind to feel the sword picture, and then be shattered by the sword intent, and condense that wisp of sword intent.
After a full month, Li Yi finally stopped his practice. Although he was very tired at this time, his eyes were shining, because there was a very illusory sword shadow floating in front of him, only three inches long, with an extremely sharp sword intent, as if it could pierce everything. This illusory sword shadow was completely composed of Li Yi's mind. This was only a part of his soul, and it was the mind that was shattered by the sword in the picture.
Looking at this sword shadow, Dongfang Bai swallowed his saliva and asked in disbelief: "Your sword intent has been condensed, how did you do it?"
"Well, is this the sword intent? As long as you let your soul be chopped by the sword intent in the picture tens of thousands of times, you should be able to condense the sword intent." Li Yi said lightly.
But Dongfang Bai took a deep breath after hearing this. After being struck by the sword for tens of thousands of times within a month, the soul of a cultivator in the foundation-building stage would have been shattered long ago, and he would be dead beyond death.
"Mad man." Dongfang Bai cursed in a low voice. At this moment, he felt that something was wrong.
