The young disciples who had just entered the gate continued to tour the small building under the guidance of their masters, bowing to them one after another.
They started with the portrait of Zhuo Rusui at the end, followed by Zhao Layue, Guangyuan Zhenren, and then the Dark Phoenix. The Principal Guard of Aoyama had a special status after all.
Jing Jiu was next.
What was noteworthy was that the portrait was of Jing Jiu, instead of the portrait of the real Jingyang being moved to the back.
The portrait of Jingyang was next after passing the portraits of Yuan Qijing and Liu Ci.
It was Nan Wang's request that the two portraits be separated.
The Immortal Chenzhou and the Immortal Daoyuan were next.
At this point, the young disciples were very unfamiliar with the portraits and names, and gradually quickened their pace.
The portraits moved backward quickly.
After a long while, the small building had finally reached the end.
A portrait was placed on the wall alone, and it was much bigger than the others.
The middle-aged man in the portrait had a nonchalant and exceedingly solemn expression.
The disciples knelt down in tandem to bow to him.
In the portrait was the Grandmaster of Aoyama, Shen Aoyama.
After the new disciples left, Ping Yong-Ka and Nan Wang walked out from behind the wall.
Looking at the Grandmaster in the portrait, Jing Jiu remained silent for a long time.
"What?" asked Nan Wang. "Do you want to burn it?"
Ping Yong-Ka said while shaking his head, "If burning the portrait can affect him, it's not a big deal to burn it."
…
…
Nothing could affect Shen Aoyama.
The Sword Formation of the Solar System was disintegrating, but he was still unstoppable.
Those young geniuses had all suffered a crushing defeat, lying on the beach with no chance of fighting back.
It was dawn from night in Chaotian, but it was merely a moment for the people here.
The aged voice of Shen Aoyama rang out on the beach along with the ocean water.
"I've lived on this planet for many years, and I've discovered some interesting things. I like those fairy tales the most. During the true childhood of human civilization, their knowledge of the world was very limited, but they were not bound by knowledge and understanding. Their imagination of the origin of the world was so presumptuous and exaggerated, which was very interesting.
At that time, humans had many imaginations of the Creator. Other than omniscience and omnipotence, there were also many detailed descriptions. For example, a religion said that this world was a dream of God …
The Zen Sect, which was also the Buddhism of the outside world, had similar sayings, such as One Thought One World. I wouldn't be arrogant enough to consider myself as a God, nor would I be as arrogant as Jing Jiu to claim that I was a human. I was just a normal person, but the place I was at had the Aoyama Sword Formation. All the rules of this array are determined by me, so I only need to think about it. "
The meaning of these words was very clear.
Like Jing Jiu in Dayuan City, the Great Grandmaster had already reached the true state of All in One Sword.
In the words of Jian Xilai, the All in One Sword was more like a sword formation.
Jing Jiu suggested that they call it the All Creation Sword Array.
Wherever Shen Aoyama was, there would be the All in One Sword Formation.
In this sword formation, everything could be turned into swords according to his will; it was no different from a god.
Nobody could defeat him in this All in One Sword Formation.
The only person in the universe who had the same Cultivation state as him and also possessed the All in One Sword Formation was a patient with high paraplegia.
That was why he didn't heed the threat of Jing Jiu and agreed to the agreement.
Everything was under his control. He was willing to exchange the Snow Girl for Hua Xi's life.
Looking at Jing Jiu in the wheelchair, Zhao Layue thought that he had come to the end. He said on the battleship that he had a solution … Did he really have one? Or was he just trying to comfort her?
The others looked at him as well, wondering if they should try harder.
Jing Jiu was thinking about something as well.
He was thinking about the Grand Ceremony of the Sect Master that year. His Big Brother came back to Aoyama through Liu Shisui and said something to him on a peak.
"I want to summon the wind and rain, I want to travel ten thousand miles a day …"
Later, he said the same thing when he went to East Sea to save the world and gave himself to Ping Yong-Ka.
Shen Aoyama said that this world was a dream of a god. Did he want to live in a dream?
"I don't want to," he said softly.
The waves suddenly became bigger, rumbling like thunder as they crashed onto the beach.
…
…
After leaving the small building, the new disciples were brought back to the Hall of Sword Washing.
Next, they would officially start learning the kendo of Aoyama. It was very quiet in the room. The young people were a little excited, but they didn't dare to make any noise.
The morning light was getting brighter. It passed through the window and fell on the desk.
A handsome young man took the book given to him by his teacher. He was almost dazzled when he saw the words "Sword Codex" written on it.
He moved his chair back and hid in the shadow. He opened the first page nervously.
On the first page of the Aoyama Sword Codex, there were four words.
"All in One Sword."
The four words were written beautifully. They seemed to have some kind of magic power, as if they would fly in the next moment.
The young man was lost in thought when he saw the four words, wondering what they meant.
…
…
The sound of the waves was very loud. Jing Jiu's voice was a little weak, so it was difficult to hear him clearly.
The crowd fixed their eyes on his face.
The sunlight shone on him like rain falling on a lotus leaf. It was very beautiful. It seemed to have some kind of magic power, as if he would stand up in the next moment.
"What did you say?" Shen Yunmai shouted.
"I said I …" Jing Jiu repeated the word in a low voice, "I don't want to."
As the two words came out, the waves suddenly quieted down and turned back to the blue glaze.
The coconut grove also quieted down. The water marks on the beach were no longer changing.
The Sword Formation between Heaven and Earth suddenly loosened.
Peng Lang took a deep breath and took a few steps back, standing next to Liu Shisui.
Zhuo Rusui didn't feel sleepy at all. He rolled and crawled to hide behind the shabby robot.
The expression on Tong Yan's face improved a bit.
Zhao Layue was the only one who kept staring at Jing Jiu's face. It was unclear if she was wondering what method he was going to use.
Only the All in Things could control all in the world.
Jing Jiu was the only one in the world who could use the All in Things Sword Formation to resist Shen Aoyama's All in Things Sword Formation.
"The Thoughtless Sword just doesn't want to."
Jing Jiu went on, "I've been taught by others to think of this idea."
Shen Aoyama said, "You want me to not want to. That's also thinking. It's just a bit of consciousness that leaked out, which could at most change the surroundings. It can't even affect this small island, so how can it change the overall situation? "
If Jing Jiu really didn't want to think of anything, how could he build his own sword formation?
"Yes," Jing Jiu said.
Shen Aoyama looked at the red sword rope on Jing Jiu's neck and said, "If you untie it, maybe you can give it a try."
Shen Yunmai yelled in the distance, "Don't listen to him!"
Shen Aoyama said, "Look, even that unfilial son knows it can't work; how can he not know it?"
It was true. Everybody knew that the sword rope couldn't be untied.
It had nothing to do with courage, but with the simplest logic. It was a fundamental problem that couldn't be solved.
If Zhao Layue untied the sword rope, Jing Jiu would regain his freedom, both physically and mentally. But before he could deploy the All in Things Sword Formation, his spirit would be crushed by the Inherited Heaven Sword, and his body would be controlled by Shen Aoyama.
"Besides the myths, there are other stories on this planet. It's said that all dogs were wolves in the beginning. Those wolves were ferocious. They traveled thousands of miles to eat meat; they would never eat sh * t. Later, these wolves were captured by humans and beaten with sticks until they didn't dare to fight back. Then, they were chained and fed meat. That was how they were domesticated into dogs. When they got used to being dogs, they didn't dare to run away even if the chains were untied. Even if humans gave them sh * t, they could only eat it. "
Shen Aoyama pointed at Jing Jiu's neck and said, "Don't you think this is like a dog's collar?"
"It's a good story, but it can't be used here."
Jing Jiu went on, "This sword rope is like a breathing machine for me. It can support me to come here while I'm conscious."
"Is it important to be conscious?" Shen Aoyama asked.
"Only when you are conscious can you think clearly," Jing Jiu said.
"Will you come to see me after thinking clearly?" Shen Aoyama pressed.
"Yes," Jing Jiu answered.
"And then?" Shen Aoyama pressed.
"I'll kill them, of course," Jing Jiu said.
This sentence did not make sense at all.
It didn't make sense.
Yet, the beach was in a deathly silence.
It happened that the ocean waves had stopped, and so were the trees.
He had said on that battleship that he had thought of a way to deal with the Great Grandmaster a long time ago, even before his ascension.
Zhao Layue didn't believe it, or she was well aware that it would be extremely dangerous for him if there was indeed such a way. As such, she pretended that she didn't know anything about it. It wasn't until he revealed it himself.
What was the way then?
"Why did you watch these juniors get injured?"
Shen Aoyama said, "It means that they might die in that way."
"It's possible. That's why I need time to think, "said Jing Jiu." It's because I'm not a sage, a Buddha, or a god; I'm merely a life. I have to think more when encountering such a situation, and I'm also a bit greedy. What if these guys suddenly become powerful and kill me, or die of old age at this very moment? Wouldn't it save me a lot of trouble? "
Shen Aoyama suddenly asked, "Do you want to learn from Nan Qü?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Layue and the others were startled. Many years after Jing Jiu left Chaotian, the forbidding formation on the Foggy Island in the South Ocean was broken. Liu Shisui led them there and obtained the inheritance of Nan Qü's sword work with the token left by Jian Xilai and his own sword. Later, they went to the snowland and consulted with the Snow Girl and Peng Lang for many years. Eventually, they created the Ghost Sword of a new generation.
Hearing what the Great Grandmaster said, they had guessed what Jing Jiu intended to do.
If Jing Jiu could separate the sword ghost from his body like Nan Qü had done back then, he would be able to ignore the fact that his body was controlled by the Inherited Heaven Sword. As long as his sword ghost could kill the Great Grandmaster, he would be able to overcome the predicament.
"The problem is that we can't learn from Nan Qü; it's because there is no sword ghost."
Shen Aoyama went on calmly, "The sword ghost is the product of the spiritual soul of the Cultivation practitioners and the flying sword. It is the product of Jingyang's spiritual soul and the All in One Sword. There is only one sword ghost; how can we create another one?"
"I'm not surprised that you have thought of this," said Jing Jiu.
Shen Qingshan said: "I've read that book." (Remembering that the Origin of Earth had read Prable's book.)
Jing Jiu hadn't encountered any difficulties in Cultivation during the hundreds of years after he was reincarnated and cultivated in Aoyama, except that he encountered a problem when he was in the Undefeated State.
To solve this problem, he went to the Demonic Prison in Zhaoge City and found the former King Of The Underworld to learn how to control the soul-fires. The two outstanding swordsmen had spent many years creating the Underworld Fairy Sword.
It was a serious problem that they had spent so much time and energy to solve. The problem was that he couldn't nurture his own sword ghost, so he couldn't separate the sword ghost from his body like Nan Qü had done.
The spiritual soul of the Immortal Jingyang merged with the All in One Sword to become Jing Jiu.
It was a whole entity that couldn't be cut or separated.
It was like the color and fragrance of a bunch of fresh flowers.
This perfect body had brought him innumerable benefits, but it had brought him an unsolvable problem in the end.
Shen Aoyama was fully aware of this, so he was certain that the Inherited Heaven Sword could control him completely.
"His spiritual soul has been to the Green Sky Mirror," said Zhao Layue.
Shen Aoyama said, "It's merely an extension of his perception."
It was deathly quiet on the beach.
The ocean waves were as still as the glass.
The coconut grove looked like a painting, the kind of painting that didn't move.
"Now that I want to kill him, I have a way to solve this problem."
Jing Jiu raised his right hand.
A few surprised screams broke out on the beach.
Everybody fixed their gazes on his hand.
They saw that hand grab the blanket slowly, lift it up with some effort, and put it on the beach by the wheelchair.
Zhao Layue was startled as well.
The Thoughtless Sword had controlled most of his awareness by using the lethal intent as the particles.
He had been a paraplegic for the last few days; he couldn't even move his fingers.
Why could he suddenly move his fingers?
Jing Jiu's right hand continued moving up toward his neck.
The red rope of the sword looked like a good-looking collar.
Zhao Layue guessed what he was going to do, her expression changing slightly.
"Calm down!" Shen Yunmai yelled.
Zhuo Rusui also yelled something that was out of character, "Don't joke around!"
Standing in the ocean water, Liu Shisui and Peng Lang wondered what was going on, feeling bewildered.
Tong Yan stared at his fingertip without blinking her eyes.
The atmosphere became exceedingly tense, making it hard for them to breathe.
It was then that Hua Xi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke, "… Have you really made up your mind?"
Jing Jiu looked at her in Silence. He uttered "hmm"; it was unclear if he recalled the days in the 720 Building.
Hua Xi turned around and walked toward the beach. She came to the edge of the pool and sat on a small stool.
… …
… …
Jing Jiu's fingertip touched the sword rope around his neck.
His finger trembled a bit, probably because the sword rope was a bit cold.
Even though he was a weak patient, it was still hard to believe that such a thing had happened to him and his hand.
The fingertip squeezed into the sword rope with some difficulty, and then slowly pulled it out.
The surprised exclamations and the shouts of Shen Yunmai and Zhuo Rusui rang out again on the beach.
If the sword rope was opened, his consciousness would return to normal, and the program would come to life immediately. It would control his body, just like how the sheath of the Inherited Heaven Sword was put into the All in One Sword.
What would happen then?
Shen Aoyama watched all this in Silence, doing nothing.
The All in All in Sword Formation was extremely powerful, but it was difficult to destroy Jing Jiu's body.
He was willing to wait and see what would happen.
Zhao Layue had guessed Jing Jiu's intention earlier than anybody else. "I won't help you," she said with a pale face.
"This is my sword," Jing Jiu said earnestly.
"Young Master …" Liu Shisui had finally come to his senses. He tried to stop Jing Jiu, but said in a trembling voice.
"It's also my sword," Jing Jiu said.
Having said that, Jing Jiu tightened his fingers.
There was a crisp sound of "pah!"
Then came the clanging and clanging.
The blood-red sword rope broke into dozens of pieces.
The broken pieces collided with each other, making a celebratory sound, splashing in all directions.
They looked like drops of water leaping into the sky, shining brilliantly under the sunlight.
