Chapter 600 The news is finally in hand
Seeing Shi Xuan slowly walking towards the sword trial pavilion, Fu Yuanxiao and other disciples were both expecting and fearing. They were expecting Grandmaster Ye or Grandmaster Shen to stand up and defeat Shi Xuan. What they were afraid of was that even if they took action, they would still be defeated. Get out of the battle and make it impossible for yourself and others to retain even a little hope.
But when Shi Xuan walked into the sword trial pavilion without any hindrance and announced that the sword fighting was over, the disappointment in their hearts was much greater than they imagined. Nuo Da, a Baocheng sect, and several ancestors, actually No one dared to step forward to challenge, so a depression arose in the heart, the arrogance dissipated, humiliation rose, and some rebounded. Amid the entanglement of depression, energy emerged, pride suddenly appeared, hoping that one day I would become a heavenly being, and then Defeating Shi Xuan, some whitewashed peace and deepened fear.
…………
Shi Xuan couldn't feel the change in the Baocheng Sect disciple's mood. As soon as he stepped into the sword-testing pavilion, he immediately felt a sense of spatial change. In the blink of an eye, he was on a mountain as tall as a sword and shrouded in clouds. Ahead is a huge palace, not gorgeous but flashing with sharp cold light and possessing the sword intent of Lingyun.
On the pillars on both sides of the palace gate, there are two lines of ancient poems written in handwriting. On the left is "The beginning of the ninefold fate of Yun Tian" and on the right is "Xuan Xiu's sword to control the fairy", implying the name of Ren Yunzong, the founder of the Three Tribulations of the Baocheng Sect.
Seeing this, Shi Xuan knew clearly that this should be the "Lingyun Sword Palace" where Ren Yunzong was located.
"Little friend Shi, why don't you come in and sit for a while?" A voice that sounded old or young came out. It was sharp, restrained, and unusually calm.
Shi Xuan smiled and said: "I don't dare to invite you as I wish." Then he quickly stepped forward and gently opened the palace door.
After entering, Shi Xuan was led by a boy to a main hall. There were various flying swords hanging on the walls, and some were even floating in the air. They were of different colors, including white, gold, red, and purple. Some are long or short, some have ancient shapes, some have strange shapes, some have magic weapons, some spiritual weapons, and even pure Yang magic weapons. They all shine with bright or bright sword light, making the whole hall look like " "Flying Sword Museum" is dizzying.
Among the many flying swords, there was a Taoist priest with gray hair but a young face sitting cross-legged. He looked quite free and easy. From the outside, there was nothing impressive about him. Even the sharp sword intent unique to the sword cultivator was not there. Disappeared, but when Shi Xuan closed his eyes and his immortal consciousness converged, where he sat cross-legged, an ancient flying sword was naturally reflected in his mind. The sword energy soared into the sky, capable of cutting off most laws and forming a world of its own. .
"Junior pays homage to Senior Ren." Shi Xuan saluted.
Ren Yunzong shook his head and said with a smile: "Little friend Shi, your swordsmanship is extraordinary. When I was in your realm, I couldn't reach this level. Only Yi Mo, who was in the realm of ordinary heavenly beings, has a swordsmanship that is almost as different from yours. Haha, After this battle, I am afraid that you will become the source of fear and inner demons in the hearts of most of my Baocheng Sect disciples. Our arrangement to eliminate the arrogance in the hearts of our disciples is self-defeating. "
Seeing that Ren Yunzong was not offended, Shi Xuan apologized: "This junior came at the wrong time. If Fellow Daoist Shen hadn't been in seclusion for a short time, with her current swordsmanship and strength, it would not be difficult to defeat this junior."
More than 800 years ago, Shen Yimo's swordsmanship level after her breakthrough, coupled with her own strength, was much better than Shi Xuan's now. Except for the "Five Virtues Luck Claws", Shi Xuan used all other methods. At most, he can try to escape. After all, he has not been able to cultivate to the peak of the sixth level with the Sancai Destruction Sword, and the Qingsuo Sword is only a little short of being able to fully display due to his own realm.
"It should be Yuan Guixuan Bing Jing who helped you hide the secret of heaven, little friend Shi, and it can be considered as the number of days." Ren Yunzong smiled softly. Regarding the so-called number of days, he said this, but his face was dull, and there seemed to be no respect. . When he reaches the realm of gods and humans, he is a swordsman who pursues cutting off everything. In his heart, the number of gods is probably cut with a sword.
Then he waved his hand: "No need to apologize. If such a large Baocheng sect cannot find a disciple who can wield the sword that cuts away fear and depression, it only means that the way I train disciples is wrong. I can't blame you for the problem. Haha, fortunately, I just made some observations, and there are still a dozen or so disciples who have brewed up a decisive and fierce sword intention in their chests with fear and depression. No wonder it's a blessing in disguise. Misfortunes are the source of blessings.”
Hearing this, Shi Xuan felt relieved and exchanged a few words before asking: "Senior Ren, when will Fellow Daoist Shen be released from seclusion?"
"It won't take long, ranging from three to five days to ten or so. She will just go into seclusion to sort out all the gains from the fighting skills at the previous celebration of the establishment of the sect." Ren Yunzong did not ask Shi Xuan's reason for coming to find Shen Yimo.
Shi Xuan smiled and said: "This junior thought that Fellow Daoist Shen was preparing for the second decline of heaven and man." If it is really the second decline of heaven and man, and he is not afraid of people taking the opportunity to attack, it will not hinder communication, just like Xu Zhenjun before.
"The second decline of heaven and man is not so easy. It is the most difficult decline besides the decline of Taoist heart. Yimo will have to spend at least another thousand years to understand the meaning of creation and brew a breath of creation before he can have a certain degree of confidence in overcoming it. However, Xiaoyou Shi, even if it is a fake aura of creation, it shows that you have a deep understanding of the meaning of creation, which will save you a lot of time when you reach the peak of calamity. "
Ren Yunzong sighed softly. In the hundred thousand years since the Baocheng Sect was established, there have been many heavenly kings, but only three of them have survived the second decline of heavenly beings, and he is one of them.
Shi Xuan nodded slightly, and understood it in his heart. The "Baolu" also talked about this in detail. The second decline of the heavenly man is the decline of the magic power. Under the backlash of the Great Dao, the state of unity of spirit and energy was broken, and the magic power was separated from the soul and declined. The soul lost the support of magic power and would also age and decay rapidly, just like having a new life span, so it was almost a double decline, which was extremely difficult.
And using the Tai Chi diagram to determine the earth, fire, and feng shui, and to comprehend the meaning of creation, is the premise of one of the secret techniques of overcoming the tribulation in the "Baolu". It was only mentioned in the Yuanshen Volume, but Shi Xuan accidentally completed it before the golden elixir. It was not what Shi Xuan had thought before, but an ordinary and ordinary thing. The "Baolu" disdained to record it.
"Okay, you will stay in my Lingyun Sword Palace for a few days, so as not to scare the disciples and the flowers and plants when you go out." Ren Yunzong joked.
…………
Six days later, in Shen Yimo's simple cave.
"I watched your swordsmanship competition with Zhao Zhenjun and Xuan Zhenjun before, and you have made great progress. If I don't use my full strength, it will be difficult to defeat you." Shen Yimo, wearing a loose white robe, said directly, "But you haven't passed the first decline of heaven and man, so it's difficult to fight you on equal terms. Let's fight you again in the future." Shi Xuan guessed that Shen Yimo had also received an invitation from Taixu Temple, and smiled and said, "I hope we can have a fight in Taixu Temple." Sure enough, Shen Yimo nodded without any doubt, and then she said with a little doubt: "Aren't you coming to compete with me? , but why did you come here? "
Shi Xuan had already thought of a pretext: "I had fought with Fellow Daoist Shen twice in Hanjing Tianjun Cave Heaven before, especially the last time. Your delicate balance of light and darkness made me feel something. I hope to use it to make another breakthrough in Zhoutian Xingdou Swordsmanship, so that the sun, the moon, and the purple star can reach a balance. Moreover, I'll forgive Shi for being frank, but it is the hint of this yin-yang state that does not belong to the "Taiyi Light and Dark Cave True Swordsmanship". "
Things must be made clear, otherwise it would be a taboo in the world of cultivation to spy on other people's true teachings.
"You have a good eye." Shen Yimo said with a hint of surprise, "Except for Master Ren, other Tianjuns in our sect have been immersed in the "Taiyi Light and Dark Cave True Swordsmanship" for many years, and they are completely unaware of it. "If it weren't for this other hint of the true meaning of the yin and yang, his swordsmanship would not have been able to break through hundreds of years ago, at least until now.
Shi Xuan smiled without explanation. It was impossible for him to say that it was because they came from the same sect. "Please tell me the origin of it, Mr. Shen. I will reward you handsomely."
Shen Yimo did not ask about this matter, because there were many strange secret methods and secret arts, and Shi Xuan was a person with extraordinary swordsmanship. He could brew a trace of empty shell creation. It was not too difficult to accept that he had a higher vision.
She shook her head slightly and said, "No need to give a big reward, it's not a secret."
"After I became a celestial being, I traveled to other realms. When I was in the Chongxuan realm, I had a dispute with a celestial monarch and fought with him. I learned something from his Liangyi swordsmanship."
It turned out that he went to other realms, and it was the Chongxuan realm that was far away. No wonder Fuyou Trading Company didn't have it in its skills. Shi Xuan cut off his anxious emotions and asked calmly, "Does Fellow Daoist Shen know which world, which family or which sect it is?"
"The Sanyuan Sect of the Qingyuan World. To be honest, I saw that the true meaning of Liangyi was very beneficial to my swordsmanship at that time. I also tried to ask for permission and secretly learn from him, but unfortunately it was not very successful." Shen Yimo was a little embarrassed. After all, this is a taboo in the world of cultivation.
Shi Xuan also planned to go directly to the door to ask for permission: "What obstacles?"
"The Sanyuan Sect has been passed down for millions of years, and there are three disasters in the sect to suppress it. It is said that when the founder of the sect was young, a black and white light flew from the sky and fell directly into his arms. It contained the true meaning of the two yin and yang. With this as a support, he created a powerful true method step by step. However, the true meaning of the two yin and yang transformed by the light seems to be ever-changing and incomplete. After seeing it, each cultivator has different temperaments and experiences, and their comprehension is different, and the true meaning is also different. Therefore, if you want to really steal it, you can only observe this black and white light in person."
"And this black and white light is now placed in the main hall of the Sanyuan Sect as a sect-guarding object. Those above the Yuanshen level can watch it at will. Only those disciples below the Yuanshen level who have perfect spirits and souls and are expected to have a high-grade golden elixir can get a chance. They are a super large sect, and they have everything that our sect can offer. Naturally, they will not let me watch this sect-guarding object, even if the founder Ren himself came out later. "
"So I can only challenge the many Tianjuns of Sanyuan Sect and slightly comprehend a trace of the true meaning from the battle."
Shen Yimo explained his origins and reasons.
Shi Xuan felt that this matter was a bit tricky, but before leaving, he still took out a secret technique of the second decline of the heavenly man to thank Shen Yimo for speaking frankly.
