A paranoid heart.
"Spirit and sword as one?" Xia Qingcheng was completely confused. She looked at Chu Xingyun with her beautiful eyes, which were filled with the desire for knowledge.
"The unity of man and sword that you speak of is the fusion between man and sword. The sword is like a part of the human body that can be controlled at will." Chu Xingyun's voice was very calm, but in Xia Qingcheng's ears, it was like a supreme truth.
Lifting something heavy as if it were light, lifting something light as if it were heavy, and having no weight or lightness. These three were the essence of becoming one with the sword.
According to what Chu Xingyun said, Xia Qingcheng's realm was only at the level of lifting something heavy as if it were light, which was the foundation of the foundation.
"As for the so-called unification of spirit and sword, it is the fusion of Wu Ling and the sword. With the sword as the carrier and Wu Ling as the medium, they can communicate with this vast world and use the supreme power of the world."
Chu Xingyun did not stop talking. He continued, "What is Dao? Heaven and Earth are Dao. Only by controlling heaven and earth with the sword can it be called the true Sword Dao. The Unity of Man and Sword is merely using the strength of the human body. It can only be regarded as the foundation."
"Since you were able to easily break open the sword stele, does that mean that you've already stepped into the true Sword Dao?" Xia Qingcheng's eyes lit up. Chu Xingyun's words were so profound. It was completely different from her understanding of the Way of the Sword.
"The current me has yet to step into the true Sword Dao."
Chu Xingyun shook his head and replied, "Not only does the fusion of spirit and sword require profound understanding, but it also requires the baptism of the power of heaven and earth. This process is extremely difficult. Moreover, as your cultivation level increases, the heaven and earth you come into contact with will also be different."
At this point, Chu Xingyun looked a little disappointed.
In his previous life, he had long since comprehended the true essence of the Sword Dao. Even the heavens and earth would tremble when he swung his sword.
Although he still knew the true essence of Sword Dao after his rebirth, his strength was too weak, and he was unable to withstand the massive amount of Heaven and Earth Energy. Otherwise, the mysterious Spirit Sword Unification was just a matter of flicking his finger.
"Then is the unification of spirit and sword the pinnacle of the way of the sword?" Xia Qingcheng asked again.
"In my opinion, there is no peak or end to the path of the sword." When Chu Xingyun said this, he raised his head and stared at the sky. His heart was filled with pride, as if he wanted to soar above the Nine Heavens.
Xia Qingcheng felt a sense of resonance in her heart when she saw the look in Qin Wentian's eyes.
The Way of the Sword had no peak and no end.
This was the truth that she had always been pursuing. And Chu Xingyun's appearance not only opened a door for her, but also gave her a deeper understanding of the way of the sword!
After a while, Xia Qingcheng regained her senses and changed the topic. She said with some realization, "According to what you said just now, the Sword Stele should be related to the Spirit Sword Unification. Even if I know this, my realm is far from enough and it is useless, right?"
"Simply put, that is indeed the case." Chu Xingyun's expression was a little awkward.
The Sword Stele was Xia Qingcheng's possession.
His appearance caused the Sword Stele to shatter, and the sword tip in the Sword Stele also merged into his Spirit Sea and could no longer be separated.
No matter how one looked at it, Chu Xingyun owed Xia Qingcheng a favor.
"I see. My realm is too low and I can't study the secrets of the Sword Stele." Just as Chu Xingyun was thinking about how to make it up to Xia Qingcheng, she suddenly turned her head and smiled at Chu Xingyun.
Seeing this, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but be stunned. A trace of realization floated in his heart.
He finally knew why Xia Qingcheng was called the number one beauty of the Great Xia Dynasty.
This smile was so beautiful that it seemed to be able to melt an iceberg and make the bright moon in the night sky lose its color.
Xia Qingcheng noticed the change in Chu Xingyun's expression, and a trace of joy appeared in her heart.
She stood up and said to Chu Xingyun, "It is getting late. I will go back to my room to rest. This is my palace and without my permission, no one is allowed to enter. During this period, if you don't mind, you can stay here temporarily."
After she finished speaking, she didn't give Chu Xingyun a chance to reply. With light steps, she quickly left the place like a fairy in the night.
"It seems that I owe her more and more."
Chu Xingyun smiled bitterly. Although Xia Qingcheng looked cold, she was extremely kind. More importantly, she had a stubborn heart towards the Way of the Sword.
In this aspect, she was very similar to Chu Xingyun.
Xia Qingcheng's courtyard was huge and there were many empty rooms. Chu Xingyun randomly found a secret cultivation room and stepped in.
In the secret cultivation room, Chu Xingyun sat cross-legged.
His spiritual sea was filled with sword-shaped spiritual energy, which whistled like the wind and released waves of sword cries. The tip of the sword in the center also began to tremble, as if it had formed some kind of resonance with the sword.
"Green Lotus Sword Body, condense!"
Following Chu Xingyun's low shout, the Green Lotus Spirit Sea suddenly trembled. The lotus petals slowly opened and the Spiritual Energy wrapped around the sword tip like gossamer and even absorbed it into the Spirit Sea.
Buzz!
The sword tip trembled more and more rapidly. When it reached its limit, the entire sword tip burst out with a huge amount of Power of Heaven and Earth. Like a wild beast, it instantly broke free from the shackles of the Green Lotus Spirit Sea.
This sudden scene stunned Chu Xingyun. After a moment, his eyes slightly froze. The Green Lotus Spirit Sea closed and the endless sword-shaped Spiritual Energy also slowly dissipated, no longer surging towards the sword tip.
At the same time, the sword tip also stopped moving. The wild Power of Heaven and Earth was withdrawn and slowly fell from the void. It instantly returned to calmness.
"Fortunately, I withdrew the Spiritual Energy in time. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable." Chu Xingyun stared at the sword tip. When the Spirit Sea no longer had any abnormalities, he let out a long sigh of relief.
The Power of Heaven and Earth just now was so huge, almost thousands of times stronger than the Azure Sky Cauldron. It was so wild and ferocious that it was impossible to control it.
"This sword tip came from the Sword Stele and is incomplete. If I'm not mistaken, it should have a great connection with the legendary ancient sword. As for the other half of the sword tip, I don't know where it is."
"If I can control such a huge amount of Power of Heaven and Earth at will, I should be able to baptize the Spiritual Sword and enter the Realm of Spirit-Sword Unification. But how to control the Power of Heaven and Earth is a problem …"
Chu Xingyun murmured in his heart. His eyes stared at the sword tip, faintly revealing a trace of contemplation.
The next morning.
Chu Xingyun left the secret cultivation room and walked towards Xia Qingcheng's room.
Before he took a few steps, a few sword sounds rang out in front of him.
He looked towards the direction of the sound and saw Xia Qingcheng, who was dressed in martial arts attire, stabbing at the wooden target in front of her with a cold gleam in her sword.
Her sword was not fast and exuded a strong aura. But it felt like weightless cotton, very light and soft. It was even difficult to feel the existence of the sword tip.
Seeing this scene, Chu Xingyun smiled and clapped his hands. "Your understanding of lifting something heavy as if it were light has been completely stabilized. To be able to improve so much in just one night, it's really not bad."
Hearing Chu Xingyun's praise, Xia Qingcheng's cheeks flushed. She sheathed her sword and said softly, "Last night, you performed so meticulously and even gave me a new perspective on swordsmanship. If you didn't improve, wouldn't your efforts have been wasted?"
Hearing this, Chu Xingyun did not reply, but the smile on his face deepened.
"There's still over ten days before the start of the trial. After yesterday's incident, you've already become the target of public criticism. If you're not careful, you might encounter danger. For safety's sake, you'd better travel with me." Xia Qingcheng said somewhat worriedly.
She knew that Chu Xingyun's talent in swordsmanship was very high, but the Sword Cleansing Trial not only tested one's talent in swordsmanship, it also tested one's cultivation and strength.
Chu Xingyun's cultivation was only at the fifth level of the Earth Spirit Realm, which was at the middle level. Once he was surrounded, it was impossible for him to survive.
"Don't worry, I have my own plans." Chu Xingyun shrugged his shoulders, not taking this matter to heart.
