The Seven Strokes of Heaven Interception?
Although Ren Qiushui had always been proud of her top-notch inheritance that was not inferior to any martial arts throughout the ages, when she heard the mysterious man mention the Seven Strokes of Heaven Interception in a nonchalant tone, she could not help but feel shocked.
Buddha came from Tathagata, and Dao came from Heaven Interception. These eight words were widely spread, even if there were many exaggerations. For example, the Sambhogakaya cultivation method of Amitabha's lineage and the method of proving Dao in dreams had nothing to do with Tathagata. For example, Taoism still had the inheritance of Yuanshi, Daode, and Lingbao, but it also vividly showed the status of the Buddha's Palm and the Seven Strokes of Heaven Interception.
At least until now, only Gautama Buddha and Heavenly Primogenitor were recognized to have truly transcended and proved the fruit of Dao. Even if their deeds were unverifiable and had not appeared in the world for a long time, making it hard for people to believe, the other bigwigs did not even have any rumors of completely transcending. Comparing the two, the gap was obvious.
In today's world, Buddhism was prosperous. The Buddha's Palm was often heard of, while the Seven Strokes of Heaven Interception had long been lost and had not been seen for tens of thousands of years. But even so, many Taoism and unorthodox martial arts were also inextricably linked to Heaven Interception. For example, the Wuji Sword of Heaven and Earth Sword Sect had always been rumored to be born from Heaven Interception. Of course, it was always limited to rumors, and there was never any direct or indirect evidence to prove it.
If it was not for the green-robed man in front of her revealing the origin and name of her swordplay, making her feel mysterious and unpredictable, she would only think that his "cultivating the Seven Strokes of Heaven Interception" was a casual joke and not take it to heart.
Ren Qiushui clenched and released her right hand. Her eyes flickered a few times before she suddenly revealed a smile and raised her index finger.
"The Seven Strokes of Heaven Interception?" she muttered, and her slender finger slashed out violently.
The void turned into a sword, and its meaning was ethereal. Mengqi suddenly felt that the surrounding scenery was peeling off layer by layer, and everything turned into nothingness. He was the only one left in the world, suffering from the pressure that spread from all directions. If he could not break out of the confinement, he would sooner or later become a pile of mud.
The square table by the window seemed to be isolated from the world. The merriment around them didn't diminish, and the customers came and went, but no one noticed anything unusual. They only felt that the scene of the elegant tomboy and the slightly weathered green-robed man sitting opposite each other against the vast river was beautiful like a painting with a long meaning.
Ren Qiushui slashed out with her finger and displayed the Celestial Slashing Sword Will, making one have nowhere to hide. She saw the green-robed man also raise his index finger and slashed out lightly.
The sword light shone brightly, splitting into two, two into four, and four into eight. In an instant, it filled the void, and each sword light was no stronger or weaker than the one at the beginning.
They seemed to be located in different space-time, unable to directly overlap and increase the power of the sword light by thousands or tens of thousands of times. However, they seemed to be everywhere and could spread throughout the universe.
These sword lights were like dazzling bolts of lightning, bending one after another and striking the same place with astonishing control. There were differences between the front and the back, but they came one after another, like a surging tide!
Thunder!
In the face of these tens of thousands of sword lights, the "void" had no time to recover, nor could it wait for reinforcements. Under the continuous attacks, it collapsed with a loud bang.
The confinement was broken and nothing could be seen. The river flowed and the setting sun dyed the water red. Ren Qiushui's index finger froze in front of her and only retracted it after a long time. Her eyes were bright and she sighed, "It is indeed a peerless swordplay that I have never seen before."
The terror and mystery of this sword could only be understood by those who had experienced it. It was not below her Celestial Slashing Sword and was probably one of the Seven Strokes of Heaven Interception.
Actually, it did not matter whether it was Heaven Interception or not at this stage of the swordplay.
"The Celestial Slashing Sword lives up to its reputation," Mengqi raised his teacup and saluted from afar.
Ren Qiushui raised her teacup and took a sip. Her eyes were in a trance, as if she was still recalling the sword just now. She sighed and said, "Your swordplay can be said to be extremely powerful and your realm is almost the same as mine. Why haven't there been any news of it before?"
She subconsciously asked about Mengqi's background.
After the finger sword sparring just now, Ren Qiushui realized that even if he was not an earth immortal, he was not far from it.
Mengqi shook his head and smiled, "My background is the same as Fairy Ren's."
It was normal for someone to obtain the orthodoxy of the Celestial Slashing Sword to cultivate to Dharmakaya and become famous in the world. However, Ren Qiushui was already a Dharmakaya when she was known to the world. It was impossible to cultivate to Dharmakaya and break through the shackles of celestial and mortal without enough training and experience. Ren Qiushui had never done this before, so Mengqi suspected that she was the successor of some mighty person who came to the world for some purpose and disguised herself as such.
Hearing Mengqi's reply, Ren Qiushui raised her eyebrows and nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder you know about the origin of my swordplay."
Mengqi actually wanted to continue asking about this because other than the Immortals, only the Biyue Sword Sect had the four sword scriptures of the Tongtian Hierarch, who was also Lord Lingbao, and it seemed to be the complete version. So he had long wanted to find out where the Celestial Slashing Sword Scripture came from. Maybe he could find out the whereabouts of Lord Lingbao from it and solve the ancient mystery. However, he did not know Ren Qiushui well enough to talk about it now. If he asked rashly, he might cause a lot of trouble. So he changed the topic and smiled,
"Fairy Ren is not someone who likes the study of the heart and has not reached the stage where you can challenge the Heart Saint. Why did you come to Luocheng?"
And she even stopped here!
Ren Qiushui's eyes wandered and she suddenly smiled, "There's no harm in telling you about this, I'm not afraid that the news will leak anyway."
"What is it?" seeing Ren Qiushui's attitude, Mengqi was instantly interested.
Ren Qiushui played with the teacup and said smilingly, "Have you heard of the Taishang Demon Wu Daoming?"
"This is related to him?" Mengqi asked rhetorically to show that he knew about the Taishang Demon's reputation.
What realm is this fifth generation successor of Claws Of The Devil at now?
Ren Qiushui smiled, "Wu Daoming first learned from the Saint of Benevolence and then listened to the Heart Saint, but his thinking became more and more extreme and gradually fell into heterodoxy, gaining the approval of Claws Of The Devil."
When mentioning the Claws Of The Devil, her expression subconsciously became solemn.
"The Claws Of The Devil is an unparalleled godly weapon. Every time they appear, there will be bloodshed and endless killings. After Wu Daoming became its successor, he comprehended the Nine Transformations of the Devil Emperor, destroyed his body and rebuilt his Hidden Latch. After that, every ten years, he will return to his youth and turn into a fetus. It will take him forty-nine days to grow and so will his strength. Every time he returns to his youth, he will advance by leaps and bounds and break through the barriers. But correspondingly, the decline of his strength within forty-nine days will also put him in great danger," Ren Qiushui knew that Mengqi understood Wu Daoming, but she still couldn't help but say a few more words.
Mengqi was quick-witted and instantly understood, "The Taishang Demon returned to his youth again?"
"Yes, if he succeeds in his transformation this time, he will step into the Celestial Realm and no one in the world will be able to control him. Sooner or later, there will be a devil's calamity," Ren Qiushui said. "Fortunately, his integration of the Demon Sect left a hidden danger. A heterodoxy demon betrayed him and told his hiding place to the Saint of Benevolence. After a big battle, three out of the four Skyscraping Demons around Wu Daoming died, and only one escaped with him, who was still a child. It is very likely that they are hiding in Luocheng. In another eighteen days, he will finish his transformation. If we can't stop it, things will be troublesome."
"No wonder the Heart Saint suddenly came to Luocheng to give a lecture." Mengqi nodded slightly and finally understood that he was indeed a troublemaker. He had just arrived and he had already encountered such a thing.
But it seemed to be very interesting!
Seeing the hidden worry in Ren Qiushui's expression, Mengqi's heart moved and he asked, "Fairy Ren seems to be very worried about the Taishang Demon? Perhaps his destruction to the world today is not as great as others, such as The Conqueror? "
Ren Qiushui opened her mouth in amusement but forcefully held it back. After calming her emotions, she then said, "The Conqueror is indeed a rare talent. He does things casually, is domineering, and is vengeful. He has offended many people and some of his ideas are also very extreme. But most of them belong to the category of the outstanding tree in the forest, which will be destroyed by the wind. Those who do things that are higher than the shore will be criticized by the masses. He can't be considered as a heterodoxy demon. Although his realm is higher than the Taishang Demon and similar to the Heart Saint, Claws Of The Devil is a relic of the Ancient Demon Emperor and the weapon of the Demon Lord during the Mythological Era. How can his Invincible Blade compare to it? If it's not restrained, it will lead to a disaster sooner or later."
Clang!
The sound of a blade suddenly rang in Mengqi's ears. A proud blade expressed its displeasure.
The Conqueror's Invincible Blade is still by my side? Meng Qi was stunned for a moment before he suddenly understood something.
The Conqueror's Invincible Blade was indeed the only one in the past and future, but it could also be everywhere in time and space. Being by The Conqueror's side didn't hinder him from following him. If he really wanted to use it, he could totally draw the blade. However, if The Conqueror noticed it and brought about a change in the world line, the convergence and correction power of heaven and earth would affect the Invincible Blade and make it return to the River of Time in advance. Moreover, he would also suffer from the backlash of this power and might be thrown back to the future without any protection, which was extremely dangerous.
The Nirvana Realm's past, present, and future could only be traced back to the past, occupied the future, and connected all of these into a line. The Conqueror's Invincible Blade at this moment was equal to the Conqueror's Invincible Blade in the past, and also equal to the Conqueror's Invincible Blade in the future. Looking down at the passage of time and all kinds of changes, he could completely recognize himself and choose how to suffer the correction power of the world line.
If he wanted to change history, he would have to bear the corresponding convergence power. The smaller the change, the smaller the convergence power. In other words, as long as he didn't get involved in anything that would change the general trend, he could still resist it for the time being.
Mengqi's mood became more relaxed. Ren Qiushui's words also showed that The Conqueror had not achieved the Legendary realm and had not reached the stage where he was the enemy of the whole world.
Now Luocheng was probably full of powerhouses, which was really interesting.
