In a world of immortals and swordsmen, a young Taoist named Mu Shao'ai loves flying swords, raising poison insects, drawing talismans, and refining pills. Isn't it delightful to live a care...
Bai Cang hates two types of people the most.
One type is the hypocrite, like Yu Duxiu.
Despite relying heavily on supernatural powers, he kept saying things like "I am the only one, only the sword" and "One sword can perform all kinds of magic".
He even forbade Bai Cang from using any means other than swordsmanship.
Another type is people who don't want him to be a "good Samaritan" with double standards!
Humans are inherently hypocritical; otherwise, what kind of human would they be?
Even the sages of ancient times could not surpass this.
Being strict with oneself and lenient with others is the mark of a gentleman; being lenient with oneself and strict with others is an act of personification.
Bai Cang felt he didn't have the ability to kill Yu Duxiu on the spot.
After all, this guy is already close to attaining the Dao and becoming a Primordial Spirit. Even if he is not as good as "Old Man Tianhe", he is still a being of a similar level.
Bai Cang wasn't that arrogant, thinking he could even defeat a Nascent Soul Dao Lord.
However, if planned properly, it might not be impossible to make him suffer in silence and severely humiliate Yu Duxiu.
Death is death anyway, no problem!
Even for someone like Yu Duxiu, who has a "self-centered" personality.
The death of a social figure might be more painful than being killed!
With this in mind, Bai Cang pointed his sword into the air and drew the character "Gen", then drew the character "Kun".
"Gen" represents the mountain trigram, symbolizing majestic and imposing peaks; "Kun" represents the earth trigram, symbolizing vast and boundless land.
The two hexagrams intertwine and merge, like a vast and boundless land, with towering mountains rising like blunt swords, shattering the frost-like winds, and then perfectly embracing and supporting them.
At the same time, Bai Cang drew another character, "干" (gān), with his sword pointing outwards.
"Qian" represents the Heavenly Trigram, which is ethereal and lofty, manifesting as the majestic blue sky, like the clouds of the ninth heaven, extremely ethereal and lofty.
"brush!"
The sword's momentum rises like a curtain in the sky, its light as vast as the heavens.
Behind the sword light were Bai Cang's phoenix eyes and dragon pupils, as white as cold stars.
His black hair flew wildly, and behind him a magnificent heavenly gate was opening.
From the magnificent heavenly gate adorned with golden jade, an immense, powerful, and supreme invisible force amplified the sword energy canopy and swept towards Yu Duxiu.
"What a magnificent display of sword energy manifesting itself, reflecting celestial phenomena, and encompassing all things! The skill has approached the Dao, and is now close to it!"
Upon seeing this, Yu Duxiu was not surprised but delighted, his eyes full of admiration. "If one can follow this method to improve, the sword intent will take form in no time."
"The sword possesses a spirit; it is not without hope!"
Amidst the exclamations of praise, Yu Duxiu neither dodged nor yielded, and all the myriad sword techniques converged into one.
"boom!"
The next moment.
Two sword lights shot out from his eyes, like two dragons emerging from the water, rising and falling, following an unseen trajectory, forcefully cleaving open the sky of sword energy.
In an instant, the jade pot shone brightly, and dragons and phoenixes danced.
The sword light concealed its true power within its illusion, and revealed its illusion within its true power, thus avoiding a direct collision with the sword energy curtain.
But it also cleaved open the sky, causing the sword energy to surge and the wind and clouds to rise.
He wasn't tall, but he seemed to control and dominate everything.
As he spoke, Yu Duxiu suddenly grasped the void, revealing an elegant sword weapon capable of destroying heaven and earth.
Then, holding it in your hand, you make a powerful downward slash.
With a single slash of sword energy, the magnificent heavenly gate was cleaved open, extending outwards into the distance.
The biting frost wind, like a sword, swept across the sky, making it seem as if the heavens had already collapsed.
A flaw exists in the northwest, giving rise to a catastrophe!
In a mere instant, the sword of "Qian Gua Ru Tian" was severed at its crucial point, causing the sword energy curtain to shatter and the magnificent heavenly gate to be annihilated.
That truly showcases the style of a sword immortal, demonstrating the power to shatter all laws with a single sword strike!
"Thanks to Brother Yu's guidance, I have gained some understanding."
"This sword is called the Eight Swords of the Primordial Heaven. Please enlighten me!"
Despite his sword technique being broken, Bai Cang felt an indescribable joy.
This was not flattery, but rather a genuine understanding of the mystery of "sword intent taking form" gained from this battle, from which he had received ample nourishment.
Although Yu Duxiu himself did not use the "Sword Intent Transformation" technique.
However, his very existence is like a sword taking form.
His "extreme pressure" teaching method fully and without delay demonstrated the strength of sword cultivators and the fighting style that sword cultivators should have.
If it were someone else, they might be too busy dealing with it to have the time or energy to figure anything out.
However, Bai Cang still had some reservations and accepted Yu Duxiu's "kindness".
This is because he already possessed sufficient foundational knowledge, reaching the threshold of "skill approaching the Dao".
It's just that he lacked guidance and hadn't specifically cultivated the path of swordsmanship, so he couldn't take that final step.
Now, under Yu Duxiu's "guidance," Bai Cang has finally transformed the "Eight Scenes" into the "Eight Swords," integrated "Mind Change" into sword techniques, and forged his own unique path of swordsmanship.
The sword intent has taken form, and it has been accomplished naturally!
"Excellent! Then I'll have to go all out from here!"
Yu Duxiu's voice pierced through the thunderous roar of the sword, as if erasing space and prolonging time. His words were like swords, slashing towards Bai Cang's spiritual sea.
His assertiveness remained unchanged, but with a touch more caution and excitement.
Yu Duxiu's thought process is completely different from others.
His impression of Bai Cang was like that of an old farmer looking at the chives he had planted.
The "careful guidance" just now was not only to satisfy his own vanity, but also to fertilize and water him so that Bai Cang could "grow strong" and become a qualified "sharpening stone".
Now that the chives have grown strong, it's time for him to harvest them!
"boom!"
In an instant, Yu Duxiu unleashed his full power, as if a sword immortal had descended to the mortal realm.
Bai Cang suddenly realized that the being he was facing was not a specific person.
It is not a grandeur, but a vastness, a sea of swords that overwhelms the heavens, the descent of the sword realm!
But Bai Cang became increasingly excited, weaving and outlining the void, and in an instant, eight trigrams appeared: Qian, Kun, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui, and Zhen. According to the principles of Yi Jing and numerology, they intertwined the eight innate scenes, giving rise to all things in heaven and earth, and all phenomena of wind and clouds.
In a mere instant, the sword light surged like a sea, and the chaotic void seemed to fill the sky.
One sword can unleash myriad techniques; one sword can cleave the heavens and earth!
Within the chaotic universe lies the supreme power of creation, which intertwines various principles and concepts such as "opening up," "sharpness," and "differentiation."
This sword strike can be described as Bai Cang's masterpiece, and also the ultimate sublimation of his profound foundation!
"Mind-Bound Divination", "Eight Primordial Scenes", "Imperial Ultimate Governance", "Sword Intent of Immortal Slaying", "Aura of Destruction", "The Principle of Creation", "Manipulating Creation"...
All these earth-shattering foundations merged into the Eight Innate Swords, unleashing the most powerful sword technique in history!
While it cannot be said that he has integrated all his life's learning and fully explored his terrifying potential.
However, it can also be said that Bai Cang's greatest achievement in the path of swordsmanship was the culmination of his accumulated experience.
I have a sword that can split the heavens, cleave the earth, and evolve the world. Please try it!
"Well done! That's the style you should have!"
Even Yu Duxiu couldn't help but feel excited at the sight of the hunt, trembling with excitement.
Only with such an opponent can his painstaking efforts and dedicated cultivation be truly worthwhile.
If he could kill this kid, how joyful and exhilarating would his swordsmanship be?
Between life and death, there is great terror, but also great opportunity.
If we can squeeze the child's potential to its limit under the threat of life and death.
What amazing sparks will be ignited, and what incredible inspiration will be generated?
Good brother, I will integrate all your life's learning, foundation, and life into my swordsmanship.
As your elder brother, I wish you immortality, that your spirit may be eternal!
