"There are four realms of swordsmanship: Thunderous Sword Qi, Brilliant Sword Heart, Sword Light Division, and Sword Intent Formation! These are the realms of swordsmanship passed down from Emperor Xuanyuan! It can only be understood! It can only be passed down by word of mouth among cultivators and not in ancient books!
Thunderous Sword Qi, its speed is like sound. The sword is like lightning, and the sound of thunder vibrates. When facing an enemy, it can shock the enemy's mind, confuse the enemy's body, and disturb the enemy's form. It is a milestone in the speed of flying swords. Below Yuanying, without thunderous sound, it can't be said to have powerful battle prowess. In a confrontation with Dharma Meridians, it will lose its attack speed! "
Apart from creating the Five Elements Sword Pagoda, Daoist Rui changed from his usual stingy self. He would often talk to his three disciples about the strange happenings in the cultivation world, the evaluation of martial arts, and the gains and losses of swordsmanship. These little secrets from his mouth were not something that could be found on the market. These were real things that could only be known after reaching a certain realm. It was extremely important for broadening a cultivator's horizons.
The Five Elements Sword Pagoda was not in a hurry. Moreover, the three disciples' understanding of the five elements was limited, especially Lou Xiaoyi. Therefore, their ideas were basically meaningless to the creation of the sword pagoda. However, Daoist Rui did not mind. He did not speak of his own ideas. He only asked them to read this book today and read another ancient book tomorrow. How was this building a pagoda? It was simply guiding them into the basics of the five elements!
In his free time, he would chat about the vast sea and sky. However, his idle chatter fascinated the three Jin Dan. This was much more interesting than the lectures of a so-called master. How could a big pot of rice be compared to a small stove?
The three of them still had a long way to go in the five elements. However, the path of swordsmanship was right in front of them. Therefore, they listened with great interest. Some things that were originally vague gradually became clear under Daoist Rui's meticulous explanation!
Therefore, they asked, "Martial Uncle! Disciple has a speed-type flying sword. Relying on the speed of the sword formation and the sword spirit, I can barely reach the state of Thunderous Sword Qi! Then, is this considered to have passed this realm? "
Daoist Rui nodded. "Good question! Your current state can only be said to have touched the edge of Thunderous Sword Qi, but it can't be said to have completely reached the level of Thunderous Sword Qi! This is because your speed is achieved by the accumulation of the sword formation and other things. If you change to a flying sword, it will not have such an effect! It was incomplete!
The true realm of Sword Qi Thunderclap is when any flying sword, even if it is a new flying sword, as long as it is in the hands of a cultivator, it will be able to produce the effect of Sword Qi Thunderclap. This is perfection! "
Lou Xiaoyi nodded in acknowledgment. Daoist Rui continued, "Brightly lit Sword Heart! It referred to a state. A person in this state had clear ears and eyes, untainted by filth and evil. Even if the sky collapsed in front of him, not a speck of dust would rise. His sword heart was clear and bright.
Especially when facing enemies, his perception is sharp, his judgment is intuition, he uses his heart to control his sword, he does not doubt external objects, he fights for a single line, his sword comes out naturally.
For a Swordsman who had reached this realm, the sword was the man, and the man was the sword. Even if he only used half of his strength, he would still be able to unleash seventy percent of his power. This was why the old man called it the 'Heart of the Sword'.
There is no standard to judge this realm. It depends on the person. If you feel that you have achieved it, then you have achieved it. Gains and losses exist in a single thought. We mentioned this saying to remind a Swordsman that he must pay attention to the cultivation of his own mental state. He must have a temperament that does not change even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him. He must have the temperament of disregarding life and death and not be affected by external changes. If he can achieve this, then he is the Heart of the Sword! "
The three of them reflected on each other, but it was useless. This thing was not something they could judge. It was too vague and fleeting …
Daoist Rui smiled. "Sword intent forming force! This is the easiest of the four realms! Even the current outstanding Foundation Establishment cultivators often comprehend it!
But in the Distant Past, comprehending force was very difficult. It completely depended on a cultivator's flash of inspiration and the gift of Heaven's Will. Now, all kinds of methods, objects with force, environments with force … While spreading force, it also lowers the level of force!
So you must pay attention. Those so-called forces of yours, are they real forces? Or are they fake?
Although there isn't a precise division here, but the Force of the ancient cultivators was truly earth-shattering. In terms of battle, once the Force is released, the power is usually five times stronger. If your Force doesn't reach this standard, then it must be incomplete. It must be incomplete … "
The three of them looked at each other. To be honest, if it was based on the five times standard, none of them could achieve it. He was not sure about the other two senior martial brothers, but for Lou Xiaoyi, when he used the force of stars, the power of his sword was two times stronger, but definitely not three times stronger. It was still a bit far from this standard.
Looking at the three disciples' expressions, Daoist Rui understood what was going on. However, after beating them with a stick, he still had to give them some carrots. He could not really beat them until they lost their confidence. That would lose the meaning of educating them.
"I've been practicing the sword for eight hundred years, and my current power is only five or six times the normal power. Even so, I'm already one of the best in the Nascent Soul Stage. So, your current situation is perfectly normal. There's no need to be discouraged!
Force is a multiplier! How can it be so easy to practice? The Swordsman has to raise his cultivation and find the materials to carve the sword formation. After working hard for dozens of years, he only managed to increase the power of his sword by a few percent. Once your force is released, it will be several times stronger!
Therefore, the path of force has a bright future. The most important thing is to deepen your understanding of the natural laws and the realm of the Great Dao. If you do not do this, you will not be able to improve!
You may have entered the door now, but it is only the door. There is still a long way to go. Don't be complacent because of this little achievement. You are still far from success! "
Daoist Rui was very straightforward and went straight to the point!
Force was not omnipotent! If you shout 'Force of Mountains and Rivers', you will definitely have the Force of Mountains and Rivers! If you have the Force of Might, your opponent will definitely tremble!
The prerequisite to fully unleashing Force was that the cultivator had to make full use of the surrounding environment!
Where was it standing? High or low? Where was the wind? North or south? Where did the light come from? Facing the light? The direction of the mountain? The direction of the spiritual veins? How could the surging river ripple? The accumulation of killing intent, the cultivation of battle intent! Standing between heaven and earth, how could one dominate?
There were too many things that a cultivator needed to learn and explore. Furthermore, they needed to find the best opportunity in battle!
Everyone understood the Force of Mountains, but different people in the same place could unleash a completely different amount of Force! This was an all-encompassing grasp of the overall Force of Mountains and Rivers, a complete and detailed understanding of nature!
The same was true for other Forces, including Lou Xiaoyi's Force of Stars!
Between the stars, there was also mutual attraction and mutual rejection. It was impossible for hundreds of stars to work together for you once you unleashed the Force of Stars!
You had to find the most suitable point to unleash your sword within the intricate relationships between the stars, the different geological structures of each star, the different blooming halos, and the rotation of the stars!
This was the true Force!
It was not something that would really come just by shouting Force. It was not your son. Even if it was your son, there would be a day when he would throw a tantrum!
