Above the sea of clouds, the clouds churned. Under the cover of the sky, there was a sense of magnificence.
Zhang Yu stood on the outer platform of the Qing Xuan Daoist Palace, his gaze distant. He had just withdrawn his consciousness from the lofty place and was digesting the principles that he had seen.
Although he had seen many things, there were only a few that he could truly understand. It was because he could not understand that there was a sense of emptiness. If he could completely understand it, he would be able to digest and absorb it.
However, after being in contact with it for a long time, no matter how little he had gained, he would still gain some enlightenment. Perhaps it was because of this that Qing Shuo and Bai Qun had also undergone subtle changes. Their Dao techniques seemed to have undergone more changes, which would undoubtedly cause them to spend more time seeking Dao techniques.
However, this was a good thing. It meant that the Dao techniques that they would obtain in the future might be better than before.
At this moment, he raised his hand and lowered his gaze to look at the Cicada Sword in his hand.
Currently, the state of "Absolute Slaying" was still a little bit away from the state that he had expected.
He felt that after two years of training, his swordsmanship had improved a lot. He felt that he was only a hair's breadth away from reaching the state of "Absolute Slaying".
However, it was difficult to cross such a small distance. In fact, he had this feeling for a long time. Now, every time he transmitted his aura, the improvement he received was getting lesser and lesser.
He began to think about the reasons and had a few ideas.
One of them was that "Absolute Slaying" was a spirit that was born from the sword. If one did not understand the swordsmanship thoroughly, they would not be able to drive their aura up.
There was no way to continue on this path. Although he still had a few clones at the lower level, he could not reach the upper level through the sword. This was because once he crossed that boundary, he would return to his original body. There was no way he could reach the upper level through this. This Dao could be used for minor improvements in swordsmanship, but it was impossible to reach the Great Dao through it.
Another idea was that since "Absolute Slaying" was born from the sword, perhaps it was not him who transmitted his aura, but the sword who told him. This could be considered as using the sword to explain Dao.
He stretched out his hand and stroked the body of the Cicada Sword. He could use the Word Seal to vibrate and make the sword hum. He could use it to try to communicate with the lofty place and rely on the existence of the Slash of All Extremes to guide the Qi will.
However, the gains from doing this were not much, because the sword was ultimately one with him, and there might be areas where the two sides overlapped. Therefore, he needed to supplement it from other places.
If Zhen Fa was here, he might only be able to pursue the truth. However, he was Xuanxiu. He could use Xuanxiu's method to solve problems.
He called out in his heart, and the Great Dao appeared in front of him. He looked over and saw that there was a "Sword Seal" there. It contained many of the divine abilities of the sword that he had learned since he started cultivating.
However, there was no 'Beheading All Extremes' here. This technique was a sword that gave birth to the spirit, and could be considered a reflection of his divine aura. Strictly speaking, it was not a real technique, so it would not appear in the royal seal.
However, the swordsmanship seals involved could be improved by strengthening the seals.
Previously, after he had observed some of Chen Baixiao's swordsmanship, he had gained some insights and left them in the royal seal. Although he did not need them, he did not feel comfortable looking at the empty space. Moreover, he had an abundance of Divine Origin, so he had continued to fill it up.
Now, there were still some missing parts on the royal seal. They were the insights of the swordsmanship that those doppelgangers had obtained when they entered the path of swordsmanship. However, not all of the doppelgangers had returned, so he had not used them to fill in the Divine Origin for the time being.
He felt that it would be better to complete this part as well. Perhaps it would be able to push his own swordsmanship a little. Even if it was very small, it would still be an improvement.
After he made up his mind, he channeled his Divine Origin into the royal seal.
To be honest, ever since he had filled in the Six Righteous Seals, he had rarely used his Divine Origin. However, it was not that his Divine Origin was useless, but that he thought that when he entered a higher realm, he might need to use an uncountable amount of Divine Origin. If he did not have enough Divine Origin, he was afraid that he would not be able to push himself further. Thus, he had been accumulating Divine Origin.
At this moment, following his actions, all the small seals related to the Sword Seal lit up one by one. They gathered into a ray of light and shone on his body.
He glanced at the royal seal and saw that all the seals were filled. Looking at them, they were all the same. It was very pleasing to the eye. He could not help but nod. He sensed himself. Indeed, there was a slight improvement that was almost undetectable. However, as long as there was an improvement, it was worth it.
Next, he would try to use the sword to communicate with the lofty place. He raised the sword and instantly sent it into the place where his Divine Origin was entrusted. Then, he used the Word Seal to vibrate the sword and let out a sword cry.
As the sword cry communicated with the lofty place, the spirit of "Slay All Absolutes" seemed to become lively. It was as if it wanted to break through a layer of barrier and go to a wider world. However, for some reason, it was still a little short and could not jump out.
Zhang Yu opened his eyes at this moment. The Sword of Cicada Cry fell into his hand again. At this moment, he already understood the reason.
However, this was because of the sword itself.
The power of "Slay All Absolutes" was too great. If it was pushed by the mysterious "Heaven", the sword itself would not be able to bear it. If it was forcefully pushed, it might cause the sword to collapse. It was also because of this that the sword instinctively protected itself and could not continue to advance.
Now that he knew the reason, it was easy to handle. He just needed to continue training in the lofty place until it was able to integrate with a higher power. Then, he would proceed to the next step.
With this thought clear, he felt that the sword had become much more transparent in an instant. It was as if the dust on it had been wiped away and it became clear.
He returned to the hall and sat down, continuing to polish the sword. In the blink of an eye, a few months had passed.
On this day, he held the hilt of the Sword of Cicada Cry and raised his finger to draw a line on the sword's spine. Suddenly, a long sword cry was heard. He turned his wrist slightly and in an instant, a sword light pierced through the clouds and flashed through the Qing Xuan Daoist Palace.
He nodded unconsciously. At this moment, the sword was enough to bear the power. The sword spirit had been pushed to the point where it could not be improved anymore. However, it was still a little short.
At this moment, his eyes flashed and in an instant, he pushed the mysterious "Heaven". Then, he raised the sword in his sleeve and slashed at the world outside!
The world seemed to be bright and dark for a moment, and he was slightly absent-minded. At this moment, when he looked again, he realized that his Sword of Cicada Cry was still horizontally across his knees. It was as if his action just now did not exist.
He turned his head and looked. When he was performing the sword ceremony just now, the flow of time seemed to be missing a moment because of this.
Not only that, but the world seemed to be missing something because of this. However, he soon realized that the missing part of the upper layer was made up. The gap between missing something and being repaired was extremely short, but it did exist. If it was not for his cultivation here, he would not have noticed it at all.
He raised the sword and stared at the sword body. The strike just now should be the real "Absolute Slash"! As the saying goes, "Everything can be cut". If one really mastered this Dao, he could even cut through the obstacles of the Dao path!
This technique could be said to be on the same level as the original Dao method. To some extent, it even surpassed it. For cultivators who mastered the Art of Spirit Creation on the Sword, this technique was their own fundamental Dao method.
The main power of this technique was the ability to "Slash Qi is Slash Spirit". As long as one's Qi was slashed, it was equivalent to slashing one's body. It could be said that the true meaning of "Absolute Slash" was displayed to the extreme!
What he did not know was that the moment he slashed out "Absolute Slash", all the cultivators of Yuanxia who had been defeated by his sword suddenly felt a jolt in their hearts, but they did not know where the source was.
Somewhere in the Lower Hall, the Minister of Communication would definitely stay in the hall after he returned. He was also thinking about what kind of Dao method he should use the next time he faced Zhang Yu.
However, at this moment, his mind suddenly trembled a few times. This feeling came without warning. He thought about it, but he did not understand what the problem was.
Cultivators would not have a feeling for no reason, and it was even more so for people of his level. Therefore, he attached great importance to this. After thinking about it, he left the Lower Hall and found a minister in charge of divination in the Upper Hall of Communication.
This minister hid behind the curtain treasure and used magic to conceal himself, only revealing a faint Qi movement. This was because people like him were not welcomed in Yuanxia, so he was used to hiding his existence. Moreover, if he revealed the secrets of heaven, he would sometimes be seized by the secrets of heaven. Therefore, he had to protect himself well.
When he saw the Minister of Communication, he said, "Minister of Communication, why are you here?"
The Minister of Communication said, "I'm looking for you to divine something." As he spoke, he explained what he felt just now and asked for the reason.
The minister said, "My divination is not as good as the Dao Guarding Treasure's divination. Why do you need to find me?"
The Minister of Communication shook his head and said, "This is my personal matter. It's not good to disturb the treasure."
This was only a reason. In fact, it was because the treasure belonged to the Upper Hall of Communication. If he went to ask for it, he would definitely have to deal with the people of the Upper Hall. When he was defeated last time, he did not want to be criticized, so he had been in seclusion. Naturally, he would not take the initiative to show himself now.
The minister said, "If that's the case, I'll divine it for you."
First, he tried to cast a spell, then he manipulated the Dharma Artifact. After fiddling with it for a long time, he said, "The mysteries of heaven are unpredictable and difficult to predict. In this situation, the inference came from Tian Xia because only Tian Xia is something we cannot predict."
"Tianxia …" The Minister of Communication thought, "Just now, I was thinking about how to deal with Taoist Zhang. Could it be that my senses warned me to be careful of this person?" He thought for a while and asked, "Could this be related to an opponent?"
That councilor said, "It is hard for me to know the specifics. My cultivation is only up to this point. If you want to know more, then …" He paused. "Maybe you have to ask Councilor Mu."
When the Minister of Communication heard him mention this person, he frowned and seemed to be reluctant.
This Minister Mu was a retired minister. He was good at divination, but the Minister of Communication did not want to see this person because he always felt that he had no secrets in front of this person.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head and thought, "Forget it. Since it's about Tianxia, there are many possibilities. Knowing too much will become a worry. I have an external body going there. I just have to be more careful. "
