Chapter 789: Divine Pivot

Ning Xingyi's momentum surged, and his body floated towards the sky under the support of some unknown force!

He came into contact with Emperor Wu's sword too early, and he saw the end of the sword path too early, so he accepted everything from Emperor Wu early on!

Wu Tianzi's arrangement of the three swords is also his inner arrangement.

Feng once said that if one comes into contact with an insurmountable teacher too early, the way of kendo will only be fixed and one will not be able to develop one's own ideas.

Ning Xingyi is a true portrayal of this sentence.

After seeing the majestic and powerful Emperor Wu conquering a land of three thousand miles, who would still be willing to be just a commoner?

Therefore, for the rest of his life, Ning Xingyi's mind was full of the Emperor's Sword. He believed that only by truly witnessing the charm of the Emperor's Sword could his swordsmanship be further improved.

This sentence is wrong.

The way of the sword cannot be verified by external evidence.

Just as Gu Jieshuang's intuition predicted, if Ning Xingyi, who had always had a strange pursuit for the Emperor's Sword, had really gone to see the Emperor's Seal of Wu Emperor and witnessed the true sword intent of Emperor Wu, then the shackles of the "Emperor's Sword" would have been stuck in the lock core and could never be opened.

If there is no life-or-death crisis that forces him to break down and then stand up again, then he will never see his own... the most powerful commoner sword.

Ning Xingyi's condition was quite abnormal. Feng had already noticed this when they were fighting, but he did not point it out, but just mentioned it in a tactful way.

Firstly, Feng and Ning Xingyi were not familiar with each other, so there was no need for him to rush to help him. If he could give any advice, it was out of consideration for Yu Cang.

Secondly, an old guy like Ning Xingyi has long been a stubborn person with unmatched self-confidence. Even if Feng pointed it out, Ning Xingyi might not listen, and it might even affect him.

It would be better to let him figure it out on his own, so that he won’t lose confidence and can let nature take its course.

Obviously, now is the time for a breakthrough!

The Star-Shifting Sword Intent transforms into a myth!

However, this does not mean that Ning Xingyi can break through and become a legend.

The sword's intent is the sword's intent, and the person is the person.

Sword intent is an ultimate combat skill, and its quality cannot directly create a true legend.

Just like Yu Cang… His “divine knowledge” and “Emperor’s Heart” and so on can all be considered skills of mythical quality, or even far beyond that. But obviously, Yu Cang cannot rely on them alone to ascend to the sky and become a myth… It can only be said that the path to becoming a myth is a little easier.

The same goes for Ning Xingyi.

Throughout history, there must have been many gifted individuals who comprehended the mythical sword intent, but they all failed to create their own mythical soul cards at the last step, resulting in them dying of old age as guardians of the country.

It was after Wu Tianzi comprehended the meaning of the sword and combined it with his own talent to forge the Emperor Wu Sword that he finally broke through the myth.

In the past, the drawing of mythical soul cards required the right time, right place, and right people to be satisfied simultaneously, and also required the soul card artist to possess a talent that was strong enough to evolve into a magical power... That was the condition for ascension to the godhood through the upper summons.

But now, Ning Xingyi does not meet this condition - he does not have the so-called "talent".

But, fortunately, there is another way in front of him now.

Pendulum summon!

During this time, Gu Jieshuang and Ren Zheng's sharing had already made Ning Xingyi understand the key to the pendulum becoming a god.

The "I" summoned by the pendulum is the "true self", which represents the instinct of the soul card master.

However, instinct and talent are two sides of the same coin.

Therefore, what the true self truly represents is everything about oneself, the limit of learning, and the sum of skills.

When summoning the true self, you need to use a blank soul card to summon the "inner side". That is when a person is born, everything is blank and there is no infection.

And when you reach the point of becoming a myth, when you have experienced everything, when your instincts and talents have developed abilities that can be called "supernatural"...

It is also the time when the mythical road appears!

Buzz!

Ning Xingyi raised his hand, and a blank soul card appeared in front of him. His peak sword intent immediately descended, and layers of sharp edges blurred on the soul card, outlining the shape of the ultimate will in the world, and then -

Summon the inner side!

For a soul card that represents one's lifelong skills, summoning the inner side is the pendulum's way to become a god!

Buzz!

There was a gleam in Ning Xingyi's eyes. At this moment, he understood everything.

At a certain moment, he spoke softly, his voice as powerful as heaven.

"I will create."

Buzz!

The light gathered beside Ning Xingyi. At a certain moment, the light converged and a human figure stood beside him.

I am the divine hub!

call!

Ning Xingyi let out a long breath.

Then, it slowly fell back to the ground from the sky.

At this moment, on a small hill in Yan Country, a legend was born quietly.

There was only one witness, Gu Jieshuang.

At this moment, Gu Jieshuang looked at Ning Xingyi and her eyes widened involuntarily.

This, this, this...has he become a god?

"Huh... thaw."

Ning Xingyi looked at Gu Jieshuang and couldn't help but smile.

Although he was a swordsman, Gu Jieshuang felt that... after becoming a god, Ning Xingyi, who had originally been a bit sharp, had restrained everything and become more gentle.

It's like it has merged into one with something.

Moreover, quietly, the wrinkles on Ning Xingyi's face faded away silently, and he looked like he was decades younger!

Except for his still gray hair, Ning Xingyi now looks like a young man.

He looked at Gu Jieshuang and said with a smile, "This time...thank you for your advice, little sister."

"Ah? Me?" Gu Jieshuang pointed at herself, looking confused.

She? How could she be qualified to guide others to become gods?

Although her purpose in coming here was to help Ning Xingyi find his own path to becoming a god, she was only responsible for conveying the results of Yu Cang and Ren Zheng. It was impossible for her to give any suggestions because she herself didn't even know how to become a god!

However, Ning Xingyi was quite serious: "Jie Shuang, it is indeed because of you. It really is... a word that woke me up from my dream."

He paused, his expression somewhat emotional.

"Sadly, Ning has practiced swordsmanship all his life, and thought he was quite open-minded about sword techniques. Back then, in order to improve his martial arts, he learned every sword technique in the world. But he never expected that Ning was the one...who was the most stubborn.

"Today, if it weren't for your advice, little sister, even if the path to godhood was completely laid out before me, I wouldn't have the ability to grasp it."

This is true.

Looking back after becoming a god, Yu Cang was truly a brilliant man, and he was very kind to him.

Feng has already given guidance on how to further improve his swordsmanship, and has also given the answer on how to walk the path to becoming a god. It was even because of Yu Cang that he was able to participate in the war of gods at the border and observe the Creator's "Stars Like Rain" up close, which helped him improve his realm.

It can be said that the road was paved for him by Yu Cang, but he still did not live up to the expectations and failed to seize the opportunity.

In the end, he still needed advice from a junior like Gu Jieshuang...and Gu Jieshuang was even Yu Cang's girlfriend!

This is really... the person has been sent to grandma's house.

but.

The smile on Ning Xingyi's face grew even wider.

No matter what, becoming a god is a win!

Although his previous obsession with becoming a god was no longer as strong, he just wanted to take a glimpse of the brilliance of Wu Tianzi's mythical sword intent.

But who wouldn’t be happy to become a god?

This person is one of the strongest in the entire history of mankind! Moreover, he can live for another 900 years!

Thinking of this, Ning Xingyi said sincerely: "From now on, your affairs are my affairs. When I see Brother Cang in the future, I will definitely thank him in person."

"Ah, this... hehe, then... let's not talk about this for now."

Gu Jieshuang felt a little embarrassed.

She felt unworthy of it. After all, she was just acting on her intuition and didn't really do anything. If anyone was capable, it was Wu Qu.

So she quickly ended the topic and said, "After Principal Ren Zheng became a god, he got a 'Divine Self' card. What about you, Senior Ning? You should also have a corresponding soul card, right?"

Ning Xingyi smiled softly: "That's natural."

Logically speaking, this kind of soul-becoming card must be a top secret of the Yan Country Association and cannot be shown to others easily, but for Gu Jieshuang, there are obviously not so many restrictions.

Ning Xingyi was originally happy to share with Gu Jieshuang, not to mention that she was Yu Cang's girlfriend, so what was there that she couldn't bear to see?

Immediately, he reached out and took out a soul card and handed it to Gu Jieshuang.

"This is the key to the Pendulum Summoning God."

Gu Jieshuang fixed his eyes on it, and then raised his brows slightly.

…

Soul Card Name: Divine Pivot I

Category: Summon Card

Star level: 21

Attribute: Earth

Race: God

ability:

[Entrance]: This card's actual Star Rank is related to Ning Xingyi's understanding of the Xingyi Sword Intent. After activation, this Soul Card can be used as a Summon Card, Equipment Card, Spell Card, or Field Card, each with its own abilities.

[God Can Do Nothing]: This soul card can be set as the inside face at any time from the field.

——

Li Xingjie:? ?

Ability:

[Ascend to God]: When you successfully set this Soul Card to the inner side for the first time, the Soul Card Master's level will be permanently upgraded to the ninth level of myth.

[God Will Create]: Upon successfully setting this Soul Card to its inner side for the first time, the Soul Card Master will remove all influences on themselves. If any part of the Soul Card Master falls below the Mythic Realm for any reason at any time, it can return to the Mythic Realm and be considered to have triggered [God Will Create].

[Divine Skill]: When this Soul Card is placed at one end of a Pendulum Bridge, damage and effects taken by the Soul Card Master are borne first by the inner side. The target summoned by this Pendulum Bridge has [Star Shift].

[God's Instinct]: After activating, perform a Pendulum Summon. This ability allows you to summon targets from different sources based on the inner side of the Pendulum Bridge. If there is no inner side at the other end of the Pendulum Bridge when activated, any target can be treated as an inner side with a star level of 0 and placed at the other end of the Pendulum Bridge.

[God is invincible]: This soul card can be summoned to the field from the inside out at any time.

…

I am the divine hub!

While Gu Jieshuang was watching the Soul Card introduction, Ning Xingyi introduced:

"As long as a Soul Card Master possesses a skill that can be called 'divine,' there's a chance they can transform this skill into a corresponding Divine Pivot Self... From this perspective, once this path matures, perhaps even legends like the 'God of Cooking' and the 'God of Painting' will be born."

When it comes to skills, there are so many paths to choose from.

Combat skills can be considered skills, and other skills are certainly considered skills as well!

However, if it is not a combat skill, then the upper limit of this skill may not necessarily be "mythical"... But it also depends on the person. Maybe there really is a person with natural talent who can become a legend just by cooking?

In that case...

Gu Jieshuang blinked and couldn't help but think of Yu Cang.

The boss can cook with spirits and rhythm!

If someone like the boss wanted to, he could definitely become a god by cooking, right?

After all, from the creator to the insect master, there is no one who doesn't like the boss's noodles! They are all super addictive!

The legendary noodle maker is absolutely worthy of his reputation!

Ahem…

Gu Jieshuang coughed lightly, stopping her wild thoughts.

Well, seriously speaking, if one wants to become a god through minor paths like painting and singing that cannot directly mobilize power, then it is inevitable that one will involve the Starry Sky Vision... In other words, it still has to be related to card making.

Thinking about it this way, it becomes even more difficult.

But no matter what, this is one more path and one more possibility of becoming a god!

As for the latter——

Gu Jieshuang looked at the [God will create].

He had also seen Ren Zheng's God's Presence panel before, and knew that God's Presence had a similar [God Will Remember].

Why do I feel... that this [God Will Remember] is a bit weak in comparison?

As if knowing what Gu Jieshuang was thinking, Ning Xingyi explained:

"Becoming a god through the spirit pendulum isn't as grand as connecting... but it's still pretty good. [God Will Create] removed all influences from me, even... including my life star."

"Eh?" Gu Jieshuang blinked, "Destiny Star?"

"That's right." Ning Xingyi said, "I—lost my life star, but I gained more. From now on, I am just myself, and I will not be influenced by anyone."

Has even the influence of the destiny star been removed?

I see... He's really strong! But this strength... is a bit strange.

The probability of being possessed by the destiny star is extremely small, but it is definitely not zero.

That's what they say, but even Ra and Stardust have never seen it, so it's obvious... it can be assumed that it won't happen.

If that's the case, then Senior Ning's sudden rejuvenation must be due to this... Eliminating aging? That's not bad.

However, it seems to have advantages.

The second half of this ability has an advantageous range.

The link summoned [God Will Remember] prevents the Soul Card Master from dropping from the Mythical Realm for any reason. And [God Will Create]... no matter what the reason, if the realm drops, you can rely on your own strength to cultivate it back!

They all have similar abilities, but the differences are quite large.

[God Will Create] is self-reliant, and every time you return to the myth, you can trigger [God Will Create] to clear the influence on yourself!

You can even actively fall back to a lower realm and then practice again to purify some negative effects that are difficult to clean up!

This is a wonderful use.

And then...

Gu Jieshuang blinked: "I don't understand the ability behind it."
