Chapter 260 Sword of Time
The difficulty of comprehending the Zhuzi Sword Art is too high.
After obtaining this unique skill, Zhou Heng has tried to comprehend it many times, but he has always gained little, and the increase in proficiency is basically equal to nothing.
According to the current progress, if he wants to learn this unique skill, he may have to continue to comprehend it for thousands of years, and he may not succeed.
Of course, this is based on the fact that his cultivation realm has not increased.
But the increase in the realm of cultivation is not a temporary achievement. With his current martial arts foundation, he is indeed unable to successfully comprehend this level of unique skills under normal circumstances.
Although he has learned other fourth-grade unique skills before, namely "Seven Purple Thunder Strikes", "Three Palms of Overturning the Sky", and "Golden Crow God-Slaying Method", these three unique skills he learned are actually special.
The reason why the Purple Thunder Seven Strikes is that the power and intention of the previous few moves are not very high, so the bonus of low-level martial arts to it is obvious, and it can be learned directly by comprehending.
The Three Palms of Heaven-Flipping is different. This is the foundation of the Heaven-Flipping Seal in the Yuanshi Golden Seal. Both its intention and power are extremely powerful. The first move alone has the power of "the world is overturned", so it is naturally extremely difficult to comprehend.
However, Zhou Heng had an epiphany at the time, so he directly learned the Three Palms of Heaven-Flipping and did not really experience the difficulty of this comprehension.
The difficulty of comprehending the Sword Art of the Word of Execution is even higher than the Three Palms of Heaven-Flipping. This is a unique skill involving the way of time. It is the basic derivative of the Sword of Execution in the Lingbao Jade Book and is very obscure and difficult to understand.
With Zhou Heng's current martial arts foundation, he naturally cannot comprehend it successfully.
He has been worrying about this.
It feels like guarding a treasure mountain in vain, but not being able to enter the door.
But just now, after seeing Li Qiyun's Time Stone and explaining its effect, Zhou Heng felt that his chance might have come.
So, he decisively used an identification card on the Time Stone.
The result was just as he expected-
This stone of time, which contained the rules of time and magic, could not only spy on the time fragments of others' past, but also help people practice time-related martial arts.
Just like when Zhou Heng first learned the Golden Crow God-Slaying Technique.
Because he possessed the treasure of the destiny of the Heavenly Man Cave Heaven, the interweaving law belonged to the way of the sun, and the difficulty of comprehending this martial art was greatly reduced, so he was able to learn it.
The stone of time helped him comprehend the sword art of the word "Zhu".
It was simply a great opportunity tailor-made for him.
However, if he snatched the stone of time directly from Li Qiyun's hands, the danger would be too great.
Although she could not detect Zhou Heng in the invisible state, if Zhou Heng took things from her slowly, he might be caught directly.
After all, this was a great master of the fourth rank, and his speed of attack was definitely many times faster than Zhou Heng.
Therefore, Zhou Heng chose to wait until the Stone of Time was in Feng Shao'e's hands before stealing it. In the end, he took the Stone of Time from Feng Shao'e.
Moreover, the moment Zhou Heng got the Stone of Time, he put it into the Heavenly Man Cave Heaven to block Li Qiyun's perception.
In this way, with Li Qiyun's fourth-grade cultivation, even if she made preparations in advance and made some tracking arrangements, she could not trace the whereabouts of the Stone of Time.
While putting the Stone of Time into the Heavenly Man Cave Heaven, Zhou Heng began to run wildly towards Huangtong Prefecture City, so as to prevent Li Qiyun from getting angry and flying directly into the sky to start "carpet-style" bombing.
However, he did not expect that he took the Stone of Time in the invisible state, and actually scared Li Qiyun, a fourth-grade top grandmaster, and fled on the spot.
He seemed to be regarded as a great man.
However, this is also good, avoiding a lot of trouble and danger.
Zhou Heng returned to Huangtong City very quickly, but he did not enter the city immediately. Instead, he removed his invisibility in a secluded place outside the city and pretended to look around.
He deliberately met some people on the way to ask questions before returning to Huangtong City.
After all, when he went out before, he said he was going to track down Feng Shao'e, so he had to do the whole show.
After returning to Huangtong City, Zhou Heng simply described the process of tracking Feng Shao'e outside the city, looking very sorry that he did not find her.
Lei Xiuyuan, Lin Cang and others were not surprised by this. After all, they all noticed that the white tiger was at the level of the sixth level of the secret, so it was normal that Zhou Heng could not catch up.
And this may not be a bad thing.
Afterwards, Yu He proposed to set up a banquet to welcome Zhou Heng and Cheng Jiangjian. Lin Cang and Lei Xiuyuan naturally agreed, and Zhou Heng and Cheng Jiangjian did not refuse.
So, the banquet was set up in the restaurant of Yu He's family. All delicious dishes were provided free of charge, and fine wines were unlimited.
In the end, Yu He, Lei Xiuyuan, and Lin Cang were all drunk.
Zhou Heng and Cheng Jiangjian had deep internal energy cultivation, and their skills were far superior to ordinary ones. Even at the end, they were not drunk. After settling Yu He and the other three, they returned home.
…
The rental house in the far suburbs of Huangtong City was as usual.
The landlord had gone to bed early, and there was no light in the yard. Zhou Heng and Cheng Jiangjian jumped over the wall very skillfully and returned to this familiar yard.
Zhou Heng opened the door and was immediately hit by a gust of dust. After all, he had not been back for more than two months, and it was normal for the house to accumulate dust.
However, this bit of dust could not hit Zhou Heng now. His inner energy showed slightly and directly enveloped the dust and transferred it to the yard.
Immediately, the two walked into the house, still looking familiar before.
"I had to thank the young master at the beginning, otherwise I would have been injured by the ghost spirit, and I was afraid that good or bad luck would have been unpredictable." Cheng Jiangjian looked at the repaired roof and chuckled: "Speaking of which, do I still owe the young master a roof?" ?”
When no one was around, she still used to call him Young Master Zhou Heng instead of Junior Uncle.
"What, Jiang Jian will give me a roof over my head?" Zhou Heng said with a smile.
"Well, it should have been included in the rent I gave you, Master." Cheng Jiangjian blinked her eyes with a smile and said, "The rent at that time was really not low."
"Ah..." Zhou Hengqian laughed twice and changed the subject, "Speaking of which, what are our arrangements for tonight? Just like before?"
He was referring to the situation when Cheng Jiangjian was injured by ghost energy and unable to move, so she had to stay here for the night.
That is to say, Cheng Jiangjian was on the bed and he was sitting on the chair.
"That's not necessary." Cheng Jiangjian shook his head gently and said with a smile: "You and I can now meditate instead of sleeping, and the young master can also sit on this bed."
"Indeed." Zhou Heng looked at his bed. Although he usually sleeps alone, if he just sits cross-legged and meditates, it is definitely enough for two people and it is very spacious.
So, it was settled like this.
Zhou Heng and Cheng Jiangjian meditated instead of sleeping, and spent the night quietly on this bed.
This is just a very normal thing.
…
In the next few days, Zhou Heng and Cheng Jiangjian often went to Chunyang Martial Arts School.
After all, the main reason Cheng Jiangjian came to Huangtong Fucheng this time was to see what the Chunyang Martial Arts School here looked like and the qualifications of the apprentices.
It is possible for these apprentices to truly become disciples of Chunyang Palace in the future.
Occasionally, the two of them would see some good talents and give them personal guidance. The apprentices who received the guidance would make rapid progress in martial arts and become the envy of others.
In addition to going to the martial arts gym, Zhou Heng also took Cheng Jiangjian to the sealed-off Wang family and stayed for a while on the road in front of the Wang family's mansion.
This is where Zhou Heng and Cheng Jiangjian met for the first time.
In the following days, Zhou Heng took Cheng Jiangjian through some places in Huangtong Fucheng.
Both of them are very handsome, standing side by side, like a couple of gods and gods, making many people envious.
On the ninth day of January, on a snowy day, Cheng Jiangjian bid farewell to Zhou Heng and left Huangtong Fucheng. She had to prepare for the next Zhou Tianxunjie Secretary gathering and the Chaoyang cocktail party.
And according to her, life in Huangtong Fucheng was too comfortable and peaceful. If she stayed too long, she would be immersed in this comfort.
So, he chose to leave.
Zhou Heng understands this very well.
Not to mention Cheng Jiangjian, even he himself sometimes had the idea that it would be good to live comfortably in Huangtong Fucheng like this.
However, the occasional thought was just a thought. Zhou Heng had already made it clear in his heart what he was going to do next and what his true purpose was.
After Cheng Jiangjian left, he also began to gather his thoughts and thoughts, and tied his mind to the horse. On the tenth day of the first lunar month, he began to use the Time Stone as an aid to comprehend the "Zhuzi Sword Technique".
Of course, he did not meditate in the rented house to avoid any visions that would have any impact on the house and the landlord after he succeeded in meditating.
The place Zhou Heng chose for enlightenment was a mountain peak outside Huangtongfu City. From it, you can overlook the entire Huangtongfu City and have a broad view.
You can also see the woods where he used to practice palm thunder.
At the top of this mountain peak, Zhou Heng retracted his gaze from Huangtong Fucheng and took out the crescent-shaped crystal stone from the Tianren Cave.
Time stone.
At this time, this Time Stone is absolutely safe.
There is a reason why it took several days for Zhou Heng to begin to understand the Killing Sword Art.
On the one hand, it was indeed inconvenient for Cheng Jiangjian to be there, and on the other hand, it was also because he was using the power of the cave to purify the Time Stone these days to prevent Li Qiyun's tracking arrangements from remaining on it.
After all, Zhou Heng cannot yet personally enter the cave world. If he wants to use the Time Stone to assist in comprehending the sword art, he must take the Time Stone out of the cave world.
Although it was impossible for Li Qiyun to track the Time Stone when it was in the cave world, as long as it was taken out, it would most likely attract Li Qiyun.
This was not the result Zhou Heng wanted to see.
Fortunately, after he broke through to the peak of the seventh level, his control over the cave world has slightly improved, and he can use some cave power to purify certain things.
In this way, all possible arrangements on the Time Stone can be washed away, making it a truly auxiliary treasure, rather than a disaster that can cause death.
Zhou Heng sat cross-legged on a large bluestone, holding the Stone of Time in his palm, closing his eyes slightly, collecting his spiritual thoughts, and began to meditate on the "Zhu Zi Sword Technique".
Sure enough, meditating with the help of the Time Stone feels completely different from before.
"You are studying the martial arts "Zhuzi Sword Technique" [Fourth Grade]. Because you are holding a treasure that contains the legal rules of time, the difficulty of studying it is greatly reduced, and the proficiency level is +0.02."
…
"You continue to meditate on the martial arts "Zhuzi Sword Technique" [Fourth Grade], triggering the effect of 'Heaven Rewards Diligence', and receiving the assistance of time treasures, you suddenly have an epiphany in your heart, and your proficiency level +0.8."
"Congratulations! Your proficiency in the martial arts "Zhu Zi Jian Jue" [Fourth Level] has reached 1, and you have officially acquired this martial arts!"
…
"Congratulations! Since you have a foundation in swordsmanship before, your understanding of the martial arts "Zhuzi Sword Technique" [Jue 4th Grade] has deepened, and your proficiency is +3000."
"Congratulations! Because you have learned the martial arts "Zhu Zi Jian Jue" [Jue 4th Grade], your understanding of similar types of martial arts and Taoism has deepened.
"...Martial arts "Xiantian Wuxiang Sword Finger" [Secret Sixth Grade], Taoist "Sword Controlling Technique" [Secret Sixth Grade], proficiency +3000.
"The Taoist method "The True Art of Divine Sword Controlling Thunder" [Level 5], proficiency +1000."
As the number of reward tips increased, Zhou Heng felt as if he had glimpsed a mighty bright silver river, flowing in an unknown place.
The water in the long river is sparkling. In addition to the bright silver, it also has an indescribable brilliance, as if it contains everything in the world and connects the past, present and future.
This seems to be...a long river of time!
Immediately afterwards, he suddenly "saw" that the long river of time began to condense and change, gradually shrinking from the original vastness, and finally formed a light cyan light.
The light green light was no more than three feet away, but it was full of true killing intent.
This is a sword light!
The killing sword light!
In this sword light, Zhou Heng felt the flow of time.
Everything in the world cannot remain permanent and will eventually change under the erosion of time.
This is the first form of the Zhuzi Sword Technique, "The Impermanence of Time."
Immediately, Zhou Heng felt something come to his mind again. The light blue sword light he saw in his "eyes" seemed to contain other mysterious true meanings.
The originally flowing time seemed to be forcibly stopped by this sword light. It no longer flowed forward and could not go backwards. It seemed that it would stay at this moment fixed by the sword light forever.
This is the second form of the Zhu Zi Sword Jue, "Times will last forever".
Zhou Heng was enlightened in a state of concentration, and he did not know the years in the state of concentration.
Therefore, he sat on the bluestone on the top of the mountain for seven days and seven nights. In the early morning of January 17th, he slowly opened his eyes and woke up in a calm state.
Zhou Heng spread his palms and found that the brilliance on the Time Stone had become slightly dim, but his heart was filled with infinite joy and his eyes were sparkling.
…
【Fourth Grade】Zhuzi Sword Technique: Third Level (1/3000)
…
The word-killing sword technique is finally completed! !
This coding software is a bit rubbish. I didn’t synchronize it when I was out. I actually lost a 1,500-word manuscript. I updated it so late. I’m sorry~
Hey, I just realized that the chapter seems to be displayed with a delay of 50 minutes. This is too unlucky...
