Chapter 78 Xu Yan realizes the art of swordsmanship and the sword’s heart becomes clear

Xu Yan was the only one left in the mountain forest.

He stood in the forest and looked around. There were sword marks crisscrossing the trees, and small holes were penetrated one after another in the big trees.

The neatly cut trees fell to the ground and were cut into more than a dozen pieces.

The remnants of swordsmanship and sword moves can be vaguely seen.

The more he looked at Xu Yan, the more he seemed to understand. A mess of sword moves appeared in his mind, all of which the master had used before.

But he forgot.

No!

It can't be said that I forgot, but I forgot the order of the sword moves, which sword was used at which time.

The chaotic sword moves in his mind were verifying each other with the marks around him. Suddenly, a certain move overlapped with a sword mark on the ground.

"This sword mark was caused by this move."

Xu Yan murmured to himself.

"The heart of the sword is clear. The first thing is that the heart of the sword is clear. It is not restricted by sword moves and sword techniques. Then it is transparent..."

Xu Yan felt that he had some insights.

However, it is still too far away from the clarity of the sword's heart.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the small mountain village where he had just started practicing martial arts. He didn't quite understand everything, but he had some insights.

"Forget sword moves, forget sword techniques, don't stick to the situation... The first thing to do is to clear the sword's heart, and for this first step, I should completely forget Master Wu's sword techniques.

"No! Forgetting doesn't mean forgetting, it means forgetting the form, but breaking away from the framework of swordsmanship...

"Then, what I have to do next is to straighten out the traces of swordsmanship and reproduce them one by one, then forget about the framework, pick sword moves and swordsmanship at will, and finally form my own swordsmanship.

"This is the first step. After completing this step, I should not be far away from the sword's heart becoming clear!"

Xu Yan just felt like a sudden flash of inspiration, and he understood how to understand and how to enter the realm of clear sword heart.

He jumped onto a big tree, sat on a horizontal branch, looked at the sword marks below, and silently overlapped and confirmed each other with the sword moves in his mind.

"This sword mark covers the previous sword mark. The previous sword mark is almost invisible. How to verify it...

"Why am I stuck in swordsmanship and sword moves?

"Although that sword mark has been covered, there are still veins... it should be this move."

Xu Yan didn't return to Yunshan County until it got dark.

But all he could think about was sword moves and sword techniques.

When Li Xuan saw his apprentice coming back, he secretly observed it without saying anything and let his apprentice figure it out on his own.

Talking too much will cause interference.

He thought about the scene of how Xu Yan practiced in the small village, but now it was just a matter of going through the enlightenment process all over again.

Li Xuan believed that Xu Yan could understand it.

The swordsmanship he made up was much better than what he had originally made up, and he even personally showed Xu Yan the sword moves.

"The clear heart of the sword is the basis for practicing swordsmanship. The starting point of my swordsmanship has raised the talent requirements a lot.

“Once you step into the way of the sword, your power will naturally be stronger.

"This is a frame. In the future, any sword moves or sword skills can be put into it. When Xu Yan goes to the inner realm, no matter what sword skills he has learned, if he puts them into this frame, it will be his own.

"Moreover, a new swordsmanship emerges from the old skills."

Li Xuan thought silently.

Xu Yan was taught the art of swordsmanship, but Meng Chong was a muscular man whose talent was not in the art of swordsmanship.

But on the path of swords!

It's time for me to compile some information about the art of swordsmanship, and then I can pass it on to Meng Chong.

"Xu Yan remembered my swordsmanship after just one look, which shows that he has a very strong memory. This is also the basis for the sword's clear heart. With this foundation, it should be much easier for him to comprehend."

Li Xuan also sighed in his heart, Xu Yan's memory is really good.

Read it once and remember it.

The speed of his gestures was not slow.

In the following days, Xu Yan studied the way of swordsmanship every day, trying to make his sword heart clear.

Get up early and go to the mountains and forests for inspiration.

I didn’t come back until dark.

Meng Chong was stimulated by Xue Wuxin, and he practiced harder and harder, and the progress of tempering the golden bones was accelerating.

Shi Er has also refined his skin, and the progress is pretty good.

There are still no changes in Qi State.

In the capital, Qi King Guo Rongshan is still the number one among the ministers.

The third prince came to pay his respects every day.

The eldest prince has already gone out to look for the master.

The rest of the ministers and disciples also continued to look for the master.

Although the son of the Minister of War and others turned into mummies, and the reason was unknown, Xu Yan did not give an answer, and no one dared to ask.

Everyone is speculating that he died because he encountered an unknown monster.

When entering the endless mountains to explore, they were cautious and did not dare to go too deep.

There are countless peaks in the endless mountains. One after another, you don’t know how long it will take to search for the past. Team after team is shuttling through the mountains.

But most of them had a tacit understanding and avoided exploring the direction of the Minister of War and his party.

It's too dangerous there.

A month has passed.

Meng Chong's golden bone is almost perfect, and it is about to hit the bottleneck of the golden bone and cannot continue to temper it.

Shi Er has completed skin refining.

With his strength as a top master in the world, it took him so long to complete the skin refining. In the end, his qualifications were far behind those of Xu Yan and Meng Chong.

Moreover, Li Xuan discovered that after Shi Er completed the skin refining, his skin refining strength and Qi and blood strength were not as good as those of Xu Yan and Meng Chong.

The skin refining is also completed, but there is a big gap in the strength of the skin membrane.

"Skin refining is also divided into levels. It doesn't matter who completes the skin refining."

This is caused by the gap in martial arts qualifications.

After completing the skin refining, Shi Er's strength has increased.

Li Xuan then taught him the method of bone refining.

According to Xu Yan, his father had already started refining bones, and his mother had just completed refining skin, which also made him see the gap in martial arts qualifications, and there would be a gap in the gains from training.

Pharmacist Pan has also entered the bone refining stage.

Of the rest of the confidant guards, a small part entered the bone refining process and a part completed the skin refining process.

This is because Pan Pharmacist took nourishing medicine to assist his cultivation.

As for Guo Rongshan, due to his old age and weakened energy and blood, he missed the best stage of cultivation. He relied on the accumulation of precious medicines and reluctantly entered skin refining.

Guo Yunkai is more talented. He has completed skin refining and is about to refining bones.

Of his two cousins, one finished refining skin and the other started refining bone.

"It's still too far away from getting started in martial arts. It's impossible to verify it in a short period of time and get any feedback."

Li Xuan sighed in his heart.

Among these people, there should be some who are stuck at the entry level of martial arts.

He noticed that Pharmacist Pan's medicine to nourish qi and blood had a very good effect in assisting cultivation.

"Should we get some elixirs? How to make elixirs? I don't understand."

Li Xuan fell into deep thought.

"The little girl taught by Heavenly Mother has superb medical skills. Maybe we can start with her and see if we can gain any insights?"

Li Xuan thought again of the little girl who was the contemporary Heavenly Mother of the Heavenly Mother Sect.

The evil people she persuaded never did evil again, which was really a good trick.

Last time I asked Shi Er to send a message to the little Tianmu girl to come, but she was still in Wu State and had not come to Qi State yet.

"Don't worry, Meng Chong hasn't started yet. The third disciple will investigate again."

Li Xuan put this matter aside for the time being.

After Xu Yan went out yesterday, he didn't come back at night. It seemed that he had gained something, and he should soon realize that the sword's heart is clear!

He was full of expectations.

Outside Yunshan County, on a hillside.

Xu Yan sat cross-legged and looked at the sunset in the sky silently.

He no longer looked at those sword marks in the forest. Instead, he destroyed all the sword marks.

At this moment, he looked at the sunset in the sky, his heart was clear, and the sword moves in his mind were constantly evolving at this moment.

He had long forgotten all the swordsmanship taught by his master.

Now, in his mind, a new sword technique is about to take shape.

His state of mind became clearer and clearer, as if he had become aware of all sword techniques and sword moves.

At a certain moment, an idea seemed to flash in my mind.

The evolved swordsmanship is complete!

At this moment, he entered a mysterious state.

A heart that is clear and transparent.

Buzz!

The sword lying across his knees actually started to tremble at this moment.

It's as if the desire is about to leave the sheath.

The sword's heart is clear!

Xu Yanming realized that the sword's heart was clear!

The moment he realized that the sword's heart was clear, the door to the sword had been opened.

In his mind, he already had a swordsmanship and traces of the way of swordsmanship.

Already freed from the shackles of swordsmanship.

Even the Dragon Subduing Palm gained a new understanding and was improved as a result.

The second level of Dragon Subduing Palm is completed!

Xu Yan opened his eyes, placed his hand on the sword across his knees, and with a clang, the sword was unsheathed.

Holding his hand, he raised his hand and slashed out with his sword.

The sword light was like a rainbow, streaking through the air and striking a hundred feet away.

The sword light fell to the ground silently.

If you take a closer look, you will see a thin gap on the ground, extending for dozens of feet, no one knows how deep it is!

"Today, I, Xu Yanjian, have a clear mind and have finally started to learn the art of swordsmanship. You can call me Clear Sword!"

Xu Yanshi stroked the sword with two fingers and said.

Transparent Sword!

This was his first sword, and it was also the sword that witnessed him stepping into the door of kendo!

"My sword heart has become clear, and I have stepped into the gate of swordsmanship. Next, my energy and blood will be perfect, and I will break through the innate realm!"

Xu Yan looked excited.

If he had already enlightened his sword heart and entered the way of swordsmanship, how could Xue Wuxin be his opponent?

"Inner Domain!"

Xu Yan looked towards the direction of the endless mountains.

His heart was filled with excitement, there were warriors in the inner realm, and he had longed for the martial arts world in the inner realm.

I have long wanted to enter the martial arts world.

"Wait a minute, after the Xiantian realm, go to the inner realm!"

His parents' strength hasn't improved yet, and he hasn't broken through to the Xiantian realm yet.

Therefore, I can only suppress the excitement in my heart.

In the small courtyard.

Li Xuan sat on the chair as usual, but he was sorting out the martial arts he had made up in his mind.

Especially how to compile and perfect the subsequent martial arts methods.

He has already determined the realm after the innate realm.

The direction of cultivation has been determined, but the future realm of martial arts and the direction of cultivation must also have an outline.

"My martial arts is stronger than the martial arts in this world from the beginning, so the martial arts realm in the future must also become stronger and stronger.

"There must be a good connection between realms. If there is a gap and the theory cannot be connected, it will definitely not be understood."

After these days of repeated thinking and pondering, Li Xuan has basically straightened out the direction of his subsequent martial arts training.

However, it still needs to be done step by step.

Only when you have successfully cultivated it can you be sure that it is feasible and can you continue to perfect the next realm.

"Meng Chong's golden bone has been perfected. It is stuck in the golden bone perfection and cannot temper the diamond glazed bone. It is time to try and help the second disciple to successfully temper the diamond glazed bone."

Li Xuan glanced at Meng Chong, who was still immersed in cultivation.

Once the Vajra Glaze Bone is completed, he can break through and step into the Qi and Blood Realm.

After all, his cultivation was a three-in-one process of skin refining, bone refining, and organ refining.

Suddenly, golden light appeared.

"Your disciple Xu Yan has understood that the sword's heart is clear and he has stepped into the door of the sword. Your sword's heart is clear and you have achieved great success in the way of swordsmanship!"

At this moment, Li Xuan only felt that the heart of the sword was clear and transparent, and the insights of the sword were constantly emerging.

A great achievement in the way of kendo, but it can only be regarded as a great achievement in the basics of kendo!

Li Xuan was overjoyed.

"My disciple has the appearance of a sword god, and my master was right about him!"

Well done to Xu Yan, he really understood that the sword's heart is clear and stepped into the door of swordsmanship.

The improvement of swordsmanship in the future will depend on him.

However, Li Xuan believed that when Xu Yan went to the inner realm, he would not worry about improving his swordsmanship.

As the apprentice's sword skills improved, his sword skills improved even more!

"It's time to pass on the artistic conception of the sword after the sword heart becomes clear to Xu Yan, so that he can realize the sword's intention as soon as possible!"

Li Xuan thought happily.

"My disciple Xu Yan has achieved the second level of the Dragon Subduing Palm. You have perfected the second level of the Dragon Subduing Palm!"

Another gain.

The second level of Dragon Subduing Palm has been completed.

Xu Yanming understood that the sword's heart was clear, and his understanding of the Dragon Subduing Palm also improved accordingly.

This makes sense.

This shows that Xu Yan's talent and understanding have improved with the clarity of the sword's heart.

Li Xuan raised his finger, and a sword energy emerged.

With a click of a finger, the sword energy flew into the air silently, and the sharp edge was not even noticeable.

In mid-air, sword energy criss-crossed.

"The swordsmanship I made up is really powerful."

Li Xuan was excited.

"It should be much more powerful than the swordsmanship in the inner realm, right?"

In the inner martial arts world, it is still unknown how strong the swordsmanship is.

However, it can be roughly inferred that he is still in the stage of powerful swordsmanship and has not yet touched the level of swordsmanship, so naturally he cannot compare with the swordsmanship he made up.

In the eyes of those with a clear sword mind, the swordsmanship of the warriors in the inner domain can be seen through at a glance, including flaws and reality, and they can easily pick out their sword moves for their own use.

"With my current strength, I can kill the Grand Master with one sword!"

Li Xuan flicked his fingers, and the sword energy disappeared in mid-air.

His strength has been greatly improved again, and the Grand Master of the Inner Domain will no longer be his opponent.

This time, it was completely stable.

Don't worry about the powerful people in the inner domain posing a threat to you.

"Master, I'm back!"

Xu Yan came back excitedly.

"Okay! Okay! Okay!"

Li Xuan was overjoyed and said: "My disciple has the appearance of a sword god, and he really did not disappoint his master!"

When Xu Yan heard this, he suddenly became energetic, and his whole body seemed to have transformed.

"Master said I have the appearance of a sword god!"

He patted his chest and said: "Master, I will definitely carry forward your swordsmanship. I will not let you down. I will definitely become a swordsman!"

"Okay! My disciple has this ambition, and I believe you can do it!"

Li Xuan was overjoyed. His apprentice would become a swordsman in the future, and he... he could wear the hat of the ancestor of swordsmanship in advance!

I also want to write more, but I really can’t write o(╥﹏╥)o
