Chapter 788 Commoner Sword

The news about Blue Star made Yu Cang want to go back as soon as possible.

However, the process in Roland Sky Realm still needs to proceed step by step.

The standard completion time for the ascension ceremony is seven days. Due to Di Chang'an's special situation, it may take a little longer, but it shouldn't be too long.

During this period, the trembling sound in Roland's sky realm became heavier and heavier... After staying in it for a long time, it was inevitable to feel dizzy and nauseous.

It's not harmful and not difficult to bear, but it's very difficult to conduct research or study in this state.

So, later on, in order to avoid the noise, Yu Cang simply went directly inside the Star Armory and began to adapt to the various uses of his divine power, no longer caring about the outside world.

However, even though Yu Cang had made sufficient preparations, the time it took Di Chang'an to complete the ascension ceremony still exceeded his expectations.

World Championship... I'm afraid I won't be able to rush back right away.

…

Blue Star

Ning Xingyi's courtyard.

Gu Jieshuang emerged from the ice and snow.

Ever since the birth of Synchro Summoning, she had always been the one to synchronize others, but this was the first time... she had become Synchro Material.

Only the boss can do this.

Gu Jieshuang took a deep breath, and her long, smooth hair spread out in the wind.

Becoming a synchronization material is definitely a very novel experience.

During this process, Gu Jieshuang's understanding of Synchro Summoning was further deepened.

"boss……"

Gu Jieshuang raised her head and looked at the starry sky, a trace of longing flashed in her eyes.

Although they were separated for less than two months, it was the most she had ever missed him.

After all, this time, the place Yu Cang went to was another civilization that had long been destroyed, countless light years away.

There are many dangers there, and even if you are the boss, it is hard to say that you will not encounter any danger.

And if something goes wrong, the distance from there to the Blue Star... I might not be able to reach it in my entire life.

That's why I miss you so much.

At this time.

A voice came from behind.

"Jie Shuang, what are you thinking about?"

Ning Xingyi stood at the door with his hands behind his back, looking at Gu Jieshuang in the courtyard.

Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…

A stone coffee table, carrying tea sets and steaming hot tea, crawled out from behind Ning Xing.

Compared to half a year ago when Yu Cang first came here, this coffee table beast is obviously much more agile... After the Creation Clan's paper was published, Ning Xingyi also updated his spine beasts.

Just like the pond next to it... Half a year ago, the stone crane stood at the bottom of the pond and the stone fish lay on the rockery... Although they could move, they were too stupid.

And now, they all seem alive.

The stone crane learned to test the water's depth, and its movements were quite agile. The stone fish also returned to the pond obediently, swimming around with a lifelike air.

If they didn't appear to be made of stone, others would definitely think they were living creatures.

However, this movable stone tea table is still as slow as it was half a year ago - it's not that it can't move faster, but if it moves faster it can't hold the tea steadily, and the tea often spills out of the cup, which is very wasteful.

Therefore, Ning Xingyi deliberately retained some of the original flavor of the small coffee table.

Hearing this, Gu Jieshuang came back to his senses a little.

She turned around and smiled: "Senior...I was thinking about the boss."

Ning Xingyi was not surprised when he heard Gu Jieshuang's words and sighed softly.

These days, Gu Jieshuang has been uneasy because of Yu Cang. He has seen this many times, but he doesn't know how to comfort her.

He guarded the border in his early years and lived in seclusion in his later years. Without a family around him, he really didn't know how to comfort people.

I could only take out my best tea, hoping to help Gu Jieshuang calm down and concentrate.

However, this time, Gu Jieshuang shook her head: "No, senior... I have contacted the boss this time~"

Ning Xingyi raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

"Boss is safe now, everything is over, and... he should be back before the World Championship!"

"real?"

Ning Xingyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the news: "That's great."

Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually quite worried about this old man Cang.

On the other side, Gu Jieshuang waved her hand to disperse the ice crystals around her, and then walked to the coffee table, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

Ah...delicious.

Although I still can't figure out what's so good about it.

But this is Senior Ning’s tea, so it can’t be bad no matter what.

Gu Jieshuang took a sip of hot tea, and in the steaming hot air, a comfortable expression suddenly appeared on her face, and she was visibly happy.

Seeing this, Ning Xingyi smiled: "Jie Shuang, your progress these past few days... is amazingly fast. When Brother Cang comes back, he will definitely be shocked by you."

When he said this, there was still a hint of shock in Ning Xingyi's eyes.

During these two short months, he was deeply shocked.

Jie Shuang, this little guy... although he is only level seven, but when he is in extreme condition, the attacks he launches are so severe that even I have to use all my strength to block them.

This is monstrous!

Moreover, she has also comprehended the sword intent and is even qualified to guide him!

This made him sigh.

Sometimes, you really can’t help but accept that you’re getting old.

However, upon hearing this, Gu Jieshuang, who was holding the teacup, curled her lips.

What rapid progress... Although she acted indifferent when chatting with the boss just now, she couldn't help feeling unhappy after learning about the existence of Wu Qu.

She had made so much progress in the past few days and even comprehended the sword's essence! She was quite happy and had already thought of how to show off when they met next time.

But now, all these joys have been dispersed by Wu Qu!

Humph...but never mind.

She raised her head and looked at Ning Xingyi: "Senior...how about you? How's the progress?"

Hearing this, Ning Xingyi coughed dryly and felt a little guilty.

In front of Gu Jieshuang, I, an old guy, really pale in comparison.

Ren Zheng passed on his experience in becoming a god to him, and Gu Jieshuang also taught him the method of summoning the pendulum in detail. They also exchanged a lot of experience in using and advancing sword intent. It can be said that Ning Xingyi was greatly shocked.

He was a great warrior who defended the country, but in front of Gu Jieshuang, he was just a rookie and didn't know many things.

Even the sword intent that made him famous was quite primitive in comparison. Look at others, they have almost mastered the sword intent, and it is obvious that they have already developed a mature system.

It can be seen that Gu Jieshuang had very high expectations for himself when he was teaching him.

She even said that Yu Cang was the only person who could be summoned to become a god through a pendulum... But now, she was still stuck here.

If this continues, Ning Xingyi suspects that Gu Jieshuang will be ahead of him and become a god through synchronization!

"Uh..." Ning Xingyi said, "To be honest, I feel like I'm still at a bottleneck..."

Gu Jieshuang didn't say anything, but just asked: "Which aspect has a bottleneck? Pendulum summoning?"

"No, no, no." Ning Xingyi shook his head. "You've explained it very clearly... In fact, I think I've figured out how the pendulum becomes a god."

"Oh?" Gu Jieshuang's eyes lit up. "Then why haven't you become a god yet... What went wrong?"

Ning Xingyi hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said, "It's my own problem... My sword intent hasn't found the opportunity to reach a higher level yet. No one can help me with this."

His Star-Shifting Sword Intent is a sword intent of the legendary level.

Originally, this sword intent was the basis for his invincibility at the same level. After so many years, he had used it quite smoothly... Because the road to mythology was too ethereal, he did not have a strong desire to break through.

Now, under the selfless teaching of Gu Jieshuang and Ren Zheng, he has seen the road to mythology. At this time, he wants to move forward with his sword intent, but finds that he can't find the way.

I am the one who is holding myself back.

This made him feel guilty.

However, Gu Jieshuang did not show any extra expression.

She understood Ning Xingyi very well, and she was not unfamiliar with Ning Xingyi's current state.

The Star-Shifting Sword Intent is already a complete sword intent, not just a prototype of the sword intent, but it is very likely not the "true sword intent".

Just like her own sword Jie Tianxin.

Gu Jieshuang thought for a moment, then said, "Senior... do you have any concerns?"

"Heart knot?"

"Yes, it's the thing I keep clinging to and can't let go of."

Hearing this, Ning Xingyi looked a little strange.

This...how is it possible?

His life was almost over. He had no children and no partner. He spent the first half of his life fighting fiercely, and the second half of his life in seclusion as a mythical guardian of the country, undisturbed by anyone.

He lives a very carefree life. In this situation, where does the knot in his heart come from?

Before he understood the path to godhood, he had no regrets about even breaking through.

Ning Xingyi was about to speak, but suddenly stopped.

Wait, if we talk about heart knots...

He frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "The only thing that can be considered a knot in my heart is probably that I haven't seen the 'Emperor Sword' move..."

Gu Jieshuang was stunned and looked confused.

Seeing her like this, Ning Xingyi explained: "My mythical soul card comes from Emperor Wu, and is called Emperor Wu's Sword. You also know this... and this Emperor Sword has three abilities, namely the Commoner Sword, the Prince Sword, and the Emperor Sword.

"For thousands of years, all holders of the Emperor's Sword have been able to wield only the Commoner's Sword. As for me... I am not very talented, but relying on my sword will and coordinating with the army, I can wield the Prince's Sword. But I still cannot wield the final Emperor's Sword."

The emperor's sword raises mountains and rivers with great power, the princes' swords collect the four fiefdoms in their possession, and the common people's swords... in comparison, are a bit mediocre.

Although it is useful, no matter what, it is not as majestic as the first two.

The Commoner Sword is just a status-adding ability, and is considered very weak in mythology. It is not even worthy of being placed among the Emperor's Swords and on par with the other two.

However, it is a myth after all, and it can still crush the legendary ones.

Ning Xingyi obtained the Emperor Wu's Sword in his early years. He was constantly exposed to the elusive power in this soul card and was certain that Emperor Wu absolutely mastered the sword intent. He believed that as long as he used the Emperor Wu's Sword, he would be able to get a glimpse of the full picture of Emperor Wu's sword intent.

By then, his swordsmanship might also improve.

This thought... to be honest, it had indeed been lingering in his mind for a long time.

"The Emperor's Sword..."

Gu Jieshuang stretched out her finger and gently touched her lips, her eyes full of thought.

It has long been confirmed that Emperor Wu has the sword intention.

At the beginning, Emperor Chang'an said that within Wu Chen's body, within the seal of Emperor Wu in the Bloodline Empire, there was a ray of Emperor Wu's sword intent.

However, due to various reasons, I did not realize it.

Yeah... Is it true that if I just take Senior Ning to see the Emperor's Seal, I can resolve my worries?

Thinking of this, Gu Jieshuang's eyes lit up. She opened her mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly at this moment, she felt something in her heart.

No... Why? Her intuition told her... Once he saw Wu Tianzi's sword intent, then Senior Ning... would not be able to make any progress...

She frowned.

Why did she have such an intuition?

Logically speaking, her realm is not high enough, and her intuition about Ning Xingyi, the guardian of the country, should be inaccurate.

However, I have learned from my boss that my talent was bestowed by Wu Qu... That is Wu Qu, the god whose name contains the word "Wu"!

Could it be that my intuition is a hint from Wu Qu?

but why……

Gu Jieshuang was puzzled, but decided to follow her intuition.

After thinking for a moment, she changed her words and said, "Well...but I think Wu Tianzi's sword intent may not be suitable for you..."

"……Um?"

This ordinary sentence suddenly made Ning Xingyi stunned.

He seemed to suddenly perk up, moving closer and asking seriously, "Tell me...why do you think so?"

"Yeah?" Gu Jieshuang blinked.

She just said it casually to change the subject, but she didn't expect Ning Xingyi to be so serious.

"That's right, that's right..." Gu Jieshuang hesitated for a long time, unable to think of how to smooth things over, so she just made up a story, "That's right, Emperor Wu is the emperor, and you don't have the temperament of an emperor, so you definitely can't use the emperor's sword intent."

Gu Jieshuang said some illogical words.

But when Ning Xingyi heard it, he was suddenly stunned.

Is this... is this so? It's actually like this?!

At this moment, countless memories flashed through his mind, and then froze at a certain moment.

That... was when I just met Yu Cang.

He and a mysterious swordsman behind Yu Cang had a duel in the Starry Sky Vision.

That swordsman is really strong.

There is no need to say much about the outcome, but in the end, the swordsman asked Yu Cang to bring a message to himself.

"Remember, you are a swordsman."

This sentence seemed a little confusing at the time, but now it is like thunder in my ears... Yes, swordsman.

He is not an emperor, but a swordsman!

Swordsman, why are you so obsessed with the Emperor's Sword?

Ning Xingyi lowered his head in a daze. He raised his hand and a plain soul card appeared in his palm.

That is the soul card that seals the "Emperor Wu's Sword".

"So... So, this is what Feng meant..."

The three abilities of Emperor Wu's Sword actually have no difference in level.

Otherwise, why would Emperor Wu have added the seemingly much weaker Commoner Sword to this Soul Card? This would simply be a reduction in strength.

There is no difference in strength among the three of them, except that Emperor Wu is the Emperor, so the Emperor's Sword is the strongest.

And myself.

In his hand, the strongest sword.

It was the "Commoner Sword" that he had always ignored...

That's why Feng asked him to remember his identity as a swordsman... Had he been lost all this time without realizing it?

Buzz!

The soul card in his hand trembled slightly, as if resonating with something.

However, Ning Xingyi's aura suddenly changed!
