He advanced again and again, only to be defeated again and again. No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to move the last obstacle in his way.
"He's too strong. He's not on the same level at all. I feel that his sword is very ordinary, but it's that mysterious sword intent that broke my sword intent," Lu Xuan mumbled to himself as he looked at the warrior in front of him after he was defeated again.
After clashing several times, Lu Xuan finally recognized the gap between the two of them. It was a difference of cultivation levels. It was not a difference of cultivation levels, but a difference of understanding of the Great Path.
The feeling Lu Xuan felt when he fought against Zhang Qing in the inner sect competition of Wind Sword School. He used the peak of the intermediate sword intent to crush the entry-level sword intent. However, Lu Xuan was now in Zhang Qing's position.
At this moment, Bing Ling's voice sounded, "You've really impressed me by reaching this step in such a short time with the strength of the second tier of the Spirit Cultivation Realm. Although this level is not a competition of cultivation level, the stronger your cultivation is, the wider your vision will be and the easier it will be to deal with it. The path you've taken is the reason why Master designed this level."
"I'm sure you've realized that your entry level sword intent is enough for you to reach the eighteenth step. The intermediate level sword intent allows you to reach the thirty-sixth step, and the advanced level sword intent allows you to reach the eighty-first step. After that, you comprehended the mystery of the peak level sword intent in a short time and reached the ninety-ninth step directly."
After a pause, Bing Ling spoke again, "The reason why you're stuck here is the same as before. It means that your comprehension of the Sword Principle is not enough. You just need to make another breakthrough and you'll be able to pass the hundredth step easily."
A hint of helplessness flashed across Lu Xuan's face when he heard that. How could he not know what Bing Ling had said? The cultivator at the 100th step before him had completely suppressed him in terms of Tao. If he could successfully break through, he would naturally be able to pass.
However, how could it be so easy to comprehend the Sword Principle? Although Lu Xuan had been inspired by the ninth level of Heaven Sword, his previous accumulations were also very important for him to be able to break through to the pinnacle of sword intent.
And now, he had just broken through to the pinnacle of sword intent. If he wanted to improve in a short period of time, the chances were extremely small. But it was not impossible. As long as Lu Xuan kept fighting with the people in front of him, he would be able to comprehend and accumulate more knowledge. Over time, he would naturally break through. But now, he did not have that much time.
After thinking for a while, Lu Xuan said seriously, "Senior Ice Spirit, I have just broken through to the Peak Sword Intent, and I know nothing about the realms after the Peak Sword Intent. I wonder if you can give me some advice?"
Lu Xuan wasn't sure if the ice spirit would teach him, but since the ice spirit had spoken several times before, the chances of it teaching him were very high.
Sure enough, Bing Ling only pondered for a moment before she spoke again.
"Breaking through a hundred martial skills is only to help you comprehend the Sword Principle. Now that you have reached the pinnacle of sword intent, there is only one last step in front of you. Tell me, what is the next step after reaching the pinnacle of sword intent?"
Bing Ling didn't say it out loud. Instead, she used hints to let Lu Xuan think for himself. On the path of martial arts, no one could help you. Only by comprehending it yourself could you truly comprehend it.
Comprehending the Sword Principle … Pinnacle of sword intent … The last step …
These words kept appearing in Lu Xuan's mind. Then, he suddenly said in shock, "Could it be that after the pinnacle of sword intent is the Sword Principle?"
Since his sword intent had reached the pinnacle, it was naturally impossible for it to be any higher. Therefore, he naturally had to seek another breakthrough. Since the Breaking through a hundred martial skills was to help him comprehend the Sword Principle, and now that he had reached the last step, there was no doubt that as long as he could break through the last step, he would truly comprehend the Sword Principle!
"You are promising. Not bad. After you have reached the pinnacle of sword intent, you will no longer be searching for sword intent, but the real Sword Principle that belongs to you!" Bing Ling's satisfied voice was heard. One could imagine that there was a beautiful smile on her face.
"The Sword Principle is endless and there are many kinds of it. Although it is the same Sword Principle, everyone will comprehend it differently. Everyone will have their own unique Sword Principle. Some people walk on the Emotionless Sword Principle, some walk on the Emotional Sword Principle, some walk on the Slaughter Sword Principle, and some walk on the Guardian Sword Principle. As for which Sword Principle to walk on, you don't need to think about it, because your heart will help you make the best choice."
Listening to Bing Ling's words, Lu Xuan couldn't help but secretly nod. It turned out that after the Sword Principle was the Sword Principle. Moreover, there were so many kinds of Sword Principles. It seemed that the Sword Principle was also divided into different levels like the Sword Principle. Some people's comprehension of the Sword Principle was deeper, so its power would naturally be stronger.
No wonder I didn't have the slightest strength to resist when facing the one hundredth warrior, and felt that he was being suppressed in every way. It must be the Sword Principle that he was using. For a moment, Lu Xuan figured out all these things.
However, it was useless even if he figured it out. Lu Xuan thought that even if he was really a genius, it was impossible for him to comprehend the Sword Principle in such a short period of time. It was already shocking to comprehend the pinnacle of sword intent in the Second Lv of Spirit Cultivation. If he could successfully step into the Sword Principle Realm, then he wouldn't be a human.
It seemed that it was extremely difficult to pass the one hundredth step … Lu Xuan frowned.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Xuan consulted Bing Ling cautiously, "Senior Bing Ling, may I ask if I only need to pass the one hundred steps, no matter what method I use?"
Bing Ling was slightly stunned, then she smiled and shook her head, "Judging from your tone, it seems that you're not going to walk the right path, but the wrong path. You're right. As long as you can pass the one hundred steps, it doesn't matter what method you use. If you can really break the one hundredth martial skill with your swordsmanship, then it means that you're very talented in the Sword Principle. Even if you can't comprehend the Sword Principle now, it's only a matter of time in the future."
"I see. Then I'm relieved." A relieved smile appeared on Lu Xuan's face. Who knew how long it would take to pass the one hundredth step by comprehending the Sword Principle. Not to mention that Lu Xuan's Nether Blood Curse was about to break out, there were only two months left before the Profound Ice Secret Realm closed. Who would dare to say that they could comprehend the Sword Principle in two months?
"You're not really going to break it with your swordsmanship, are you?" Bing Ling exclaimed in surprise. She had thought that Lu Xuan was just asking casually. She did not expect him to be serious.
Lu Xuan avoided answering and said, "Senior Bing Ling, just wait and see."
Lu Xuan straightened his clothes and walked forward slowly. He was not in a hurry to take the one hundredth step. Instead, he stopped in front of Bing Ling and took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Seeing Lu Xuan's reaction, a trace of doubt flashed across Bing Ling's face. After thinking for a while, a helpless smile flashed across her face, "This kid, I'm afraid he'll really pass this time."
Obviously, Bing Ling had already guessed how Lu Xuan was going to pass the stage.
It was true that Lu Xuan had not comprehended the Sword Principle, but who said that he had to comprehend the Sword Principle to break the martial skill before him? That was because Lu Xuan had something more advanced than the Sword Principle, which was the Oneness of Heaven and Human Beings Realm!
If he could break through the last step with the help of the Sword Principle, then the Oneness of Heaven and Human Beings Realm, which was more advanced than the Sword Principle, could naturally do the same!
Although Lu Xuan could only achieve the Oneness of Heaven and Human Beings Realm by using the First Move of the Nine Heavenly Sword Layers, and he could only use it twice at most, it was enough, because there was only one obstacle in front of him, right?
As Lu Xuan's state of mind calmed down, his eyes became more and more profound, like an endless starry sky. His eyes contained the world.
Human, sword, and heaven, instantly became one!
This was the moment!
Lu Xuan stepped forward in an instant, his clothes fluttering in the wind, and his long sword struck!
"Oneness of Heaven and Human Beings!" As Lu Xuan growled in a low voice, an extremely simple yet incredibly stunning sword attack was instantly unleashed!
The martial artist in front of him reacted very quickly. Almost at the moment when Lu Xuan struck, he also struck. It was still the same sword that he had used to block Lu Xuan, a sword that contained the Sword Principle.
However, at this moment, the sword that had rendered Lu Xuan powerless was so powerless. The Shattered Ice Sword pierced straight through and directly shattered the sword into pieces!
The Oneness of Heaven and Human Beings Realm triggered the Heavenly Dao! How could a mere Sword Principle compare to the Heavenly Dao?
If one were to say that Lu Xuan's pinnacle sword will was like an ordinary person encountering a martial artist in the face of swordsmanship, then that martial artist's sword was like a three-year-old child encountering a true martial artist in the face of the oneness of heaven and man.
After receiving the power of the sword, the body of the hundredth martial artist quickly dissipated. The hundredth sword technique, broken!
Although the last step was taken by Lu Xuan, the hundreds of martial techniques that were blocking him were all broken.
Seeing that there were no more obstacles in front of him, and the stone door leading to the fifth stage was clearly presented in front of him, Lu Xuan couldn't help but laugh out loud. The fourth stage, passed!
It was only now that Lu Xuan had truly broken the record of the first Pavilion Master of Xuan Ice Pavilion. If he was unable to break through this last step, there would be no difference between 99 steps and 1 step, as both would mean that he had failed the fourth test.
However, Lu Xuan had succeeded and successfully obtained the reward of the fourth stage, a drop of Ice Phoenix essence, and the first six stages of the Ice Heart Sutra!
The first Pavilion Master of Xuan Bing Pavilion only relied on the first three stages of the Ice Heart Sutra to establish the huge Xuan Bing Pavilion and dominate a region. Now that Lu Xuan was about to obtain the first six stages of the Ice Heart Sutra, it was extremely valuable. If Lu Xuan gave this cultivation technique to Xuan Bing Pavilion, Xuan Bing Pavilion would instantly have the potential to become a fifth-grade sect!
Of course, Lu Xuan wasn't that stupid. How could he give such a valuable thing to Xuan Bing Pavilion so easily? This was a Heaven class cultivation technique. Although there were only the first six scrolls, Bing Ling had just said that even the first six scrolls, according to the Heaven Domain's classification, would be a top Earth class cultivation technique. In the Sky Sword Continent, it would definitely be a Heaven class cultivation technique!
However, although he wouldn't give it to Xuan Bing Pavilion for free, he would give it to Zhao Binger to cultivate. She would definitely be very happy. Lu Xuan thought happily. Now, he could almost see Zhao Binger's happy expression when she received this cultivation technique. Yes, it would definitely be very beautiful.
