(I haven't been to the gym for half a month. I feel old if I go again today.)
The sky was desolate, and the ground was boundless.
This was like a barren world. Only the lake and the weeping willows on the shore were the places of life.
On the small island in the middle of the lake, Chen Zong stood still. The light in his eyes was restrained, and traces of fluorescent light surrounded him.
He had gained a lot from this epiphany.
According to his estimation, the Heart Sword Dao Intent would take at least one to three years to successfully transform from advanced to peak-level, and its power would increase greatly.
But now, it seemed to have shortened the time by one to three years and transformed directly.
For a prodigy like Chen Zong, whether it was three years or one year, there would be obvious changes in his strength. Therefore, the sooner the Heart Sword Dao Intent completed its transformation, the better.
In addition to the great increase in power from the transformation of the Heart Sword Dao Intent to peak-level, the profound meaning of the sword had been strengthened. The accumulation of the Dao of the Sword had been more vigorous, and the power of each sword had been strengthened.
These benefits were not only reflected in the obvious increase in his current strength, but also in the great increase in his future cultivation potential.
In this way, it seemed that the gains from entering the Lingwu Sacred Ground were already very good. His efforts were not in vain.
Turning around, Chen Zong stepped into the straw hut again and opened the 24 Dragons and Snakes Painting.
He looked at the first painting. It was the simplest, but its appearance had changed greatly.
Chen Zong seemed to see two sword lights. One was strong and the other was flexible. One was a Sky Dragon, and the other was an Earth Snake.
From the first to the eighth painting, the dragons and snakes intersected.
In Chen Zong's eyes, the profoundness of the painting seemed to be a sword technique or sword technique.
Then, the dragons and snakes seemed to come alive. They jumped out of the paper and rushed toward Chen Zong's forehead, jumping into his Divine Sea.
The Divine Sea was vast, and it meandered freely.
The dragons and snakes danced and intersected, containing infinite profoundness. It seemed to be enough for him to spend a lifetime studying, comprehending, and cultivating.
When he comprehended the profoundness of the eight simple paintings, he released an indescribable divine light.
"So, this is an opportunity." Chen Zong was enlightened.
What he had comprehended just now was just his own comprehension. But now, the mysteries of the eight Dragon Snake Diagrams had fused into his Divine Sea and into his soul, allowing him to comprehend them on a deeper level.
This was where the true opportunity lay.
Immediately after, a trace of understanding appeared. As long as he was willing, he could immediately leave this place, leave the Lingwu Holy Land, and appear in the outside world.
Does this mean that my trip to the Lingwu Holy Land is over?
The mysteries contained in the eight diagrams of dragons and snakes were unfathomable. Even though Chen Zong had only comprehended a part of it, he still felt that it was amazing. It was enough for him to spend a lot of time and energy to further comprehend it.
That would be of great help to his future cultivation.
In that case, should he stay here and continue comprehending?
Or just leave?
No!
Chen Zong's expression changed slightly. How could he think of leaving?
If it wasn't for his strong soul and tenacious will, he would probably have already made his choice.
Eight Dragon Snake Paintings!
Those were only eight Dragon-Snake Diagrams.
And there were 24 complete Dragon-Snake Diagrams. He had only comprehended one-third of the mysteries. There were still two-thirds.
In an instant, Chen Zong only felt that his mind was clear, as if there was a clear stream flowing through.
He wasn't in a hurry to leave, because there were still two-thirds of the 24 Dragon-Snake Diagrams that he hadn't comprehended.
'If I'm not wrong, the 24 Dragon-Snake Diagrams can be divided into three levels.' Chen Zong's eyes flashed continuously, and he secretly said, 'The first level, which is the level I've comprehended, is the Dragon Snake Tier. Then, the second level, with the addition of water and fire, is the Fire Water Tier. And the third level, with the addition of sun and moon, can be considered the Sun Moon Tier.'
Little did he know that Chen Zong's overall classification was about the same, only the names were different.
This was indeed the opportunity of the first heaven.
The 24 Dragon-Snake Diagrams could indeed be divided into three levels.
And those who entered in the past mostly only comprehended the first level.
There seemed to be a mysterious and unfathomable power. When one comprehended the first level, under the influence of that mysterious power, they would subconsciously ignore the other two levels and focus on the first level. Once they were satisfied, they would choose to leave.
Even after leaving, they wouldn't think too much, and would only focus on comprehending the first level. Moreover, they couldn't record it down, nor could they pass it on. They could only comprehend and cultivate by themselves.
A few people could resist the interference of the mysterious power of the first level and continue to comprehend, but they might not be able to comprehend the second level, because it was even more mysterious.
And a few people could comprehend the second level's mysteries, but they couldn't resist the influence of the mysterious power, and had no chance of comprehending the third level.
Each level was harder to comprehend.
At this moment, Chen Zong was comprehending the second level.
Besides the Dragon-Snake Diagrams, there was also water and fire.
The Dragon-Snake Diagrams danced, and water and fire mixed.
Chen Zong was still not anxious or discouraged. Previously, besides comprehending, he cultivated, and mainly practiced the sword.
This was because Chen Zong found that his Infinite Sword Chain and the Dragon-Snake Diagrams seemed to have a kind of coincidence.
When the Infinite Sword Chain was created, Chen Zong gave it various changes and combinations of forces.
For example, fast and slow, strong and weak, hard and soft, and so on.
All kinds of completely different and even opposite forces intertwined and merged under the sword, and then the essence and mystery of the Infinite Sword Chain was deduced.
However, since the creation of the Infinite Sword Chain, Chen Zong also knew very well that this swordsmanship was still at a superficial level, even if he continued to comprehend.
And the more he comprehended, the more Chen Zong found that this swordsmanship he created seemed to have amazing potential, surpassing everything else.
Now that he had comprehended the eight Dragon-Snake Diagrams and obtained a trace of its mystery, he integrated it into his swordsmanship and the Infinite Sword Chain. Immediately, Chen Zong felt the improvement of his swordsmanship, a kind of transformation that was close to the essence.
Practice the sword!
Forget everything, keep practicing the sword, integrate all the mysteries he had into it, and deduce the ultimate mystery.
Practicing the sword instead of meditating, the effect was unexpectedly better.
Chen Zong had never expected that the Infinite Sword Chain that he had created would actually be compatible with the Dragon-Snake Diagram, achieving the same result through different means.
Integrating the hard and soft forces of the Dragon-Snake Diagrams into the swordsmanship actually made the swordsmanship more perfect and powerful.
Once he started practicing, there was no end to it. Countless sword lights spread out in all directions.
Imperceptibly, the mystery of the Infinite Sword Chain became more perfect and clear.
The sword lights stopped, and the long sword returned to its scabbard. Chen Zong slowly exhaled a breath, and the breath was as sharp as a sword, piercing through the air. The breath was endless and full of power, and it had amazing power, penetrating the sky and hitting the lake.
"The Infinite Sword Chain can be divided into three levels and three realms."
"The first realm is the chain, the second realm is the Infinite, and the third realm is the Infinite."
Even more insights emerged, causing Chen Zong to vaguely grasp something, but he was unable to grasp it for a moment.
Chain!
Infinite!
Infinite!
The Dragon-Snake Realm!
"Water is endless, and can nourish and destroy all things. Fire is fierce and violent, and can burn everything into ashes, and can also breed life from the ashes …"
Practicing the sword, using the sword to comprehend everything.
Chen Zong had a deeper understanding of the first realm, the Dragon-Snake Realm, and vaguely grasped the mystery of the second realm, the Water and Fire Realm.
As soon as he learned the basics, even more insights emerged.
The sword was unsheathed again, and the sword light turned into a dancing dragon and snake. Immediately, with the dragon, a blazing breath spread out, like the heat of fire and the fury of fire.
When the sword was a snake, it was accompanied by a trace of coolness, like the gurgling of water, and also like a torrent.
Countless mysteries were deduced from the sword.
Water and fire, snake and dragon intertwined and mingled endlessly.
Gradually, the breath of water merged into the snake, and the breath of fire merged into the dragon.
The fusion of hardness and softness, and hardness and softness combined.
The fusion of heat and coolness, the fusion of water and fire.
A sword technique was displayed, and it was even more shocking, and its power was even more terrifying.
The endless mysteries were all in the sword. After the demonstration, the sword returned to its sheath, and Chen Zong stepped into the straw hut again and opened the 24 Dragon-Snake Paintings.
Suddenly, the Dragon-Snake, Water and Fire from the ninth to the sixteenth paintings leaped out and turned into rays of light, rushing into Chen Zong's Spirit Sea, and the mysteries penetrated his soul.
An indescribable sense of satisfaction filled his heart and mind, and it made Chen Zong feel that the gains from this trip were unexpectedly shocking, and it was time to leave.
Indeed.
Top-grade Dao Insight!
His attainments in sword techniques were even more brilliant!
The cultivation of the Infinite Chain Sword was even clearer and more perfect!
The sixteen Dragon-Snake Paintings were endless!
Such gains were very shocking.
He felt satisfied, and it was normal.
Then, it was time to leave.
But for some reason, there was always a trace of unwillingness lingering in the depths of his heart, and it made Chen Zong hesitate, and he did not make a choice for a long time.
His eyes were filled with confusion, and he was hesitant to advance or retreat. Chen Zong rarely appeared in such a situation.
When practicing the sword, one could not hesitate or hesitate, or the sword would be unstable and inaccurate.
Chen Zong's current state was not what a qualified sword cultivator should have.
But it just so happened.
He was hesitating, hesitating, and struggling.
Then, an extremely sharp light flashed in Chen Zong's eyes, and it was like the edge of a sword that cut through everything. The confusion was torn apart and dispersed, and it disappeared. What replaced it was an unparalleled firmness, a firmness that was not confused or affected by anything.
"16 Dragon-Snake Paintings, but not 24." Chen Zong smiled slightly.
He had almost given up the chance to continue comprehending.
Fortunately, his Heart Sword Dao Insight had evolved to top-grade, and it had imperceptibly strengthened his mind and willpower.
If it were other sword intents, they would not have such an effect. After all, the Heart Sword Dao Insight originated from the heart.
Since that was the case, he began to comprehend the last eight paintings, which he named the last level of the Sun Moon Tier.
The Dragon-Snake Paintings were clearer and more agile, and the Water and Fire Paintings were more obvious. Besides, from the 17th painting onwards, a large sun and a dim moon appeared. They looked very weak and faint, and one could vaguely catch a trace of their outline. If it were not for the charm contained in them, Chen Zong would only think that they were scribbles.
And in the next painting, the large sun and the dim moon were clearer, more agile, and more realistic.
