Chapter 581 Sword Pendulum
There have been precedents before, and in some cases, the destiny star is not fixed... or even necessary.
None of the spiritual beasts in the Tianmen world have a destiny star; Taichu, as the Emperor Star Chosen, does not have an Emperor Star as his destiny star; Xingchen’s brother the king even created an artificial destiny star using spirit particles.
It can be seen that although the destiny star is something we are born with, it is not indispensable.
It might even be a burden.
Under this premise, it is indeed possible that Gu Jieshuang's fate star could be changed by herself when she awakens...
Yu Cang carefully recalled Gu Jieshuang's awakening process.
In the Divine Capital, Yu Cang was teleported into the ruins by the princess through the Starry Sky Vision. Gu Jieshuang wanted to go to Yu Cang through the Starry Sky Vision, but she did not have the talent to enter the Starry Sky Vision. After repeatedly trying to use the Destiny Star and the Other World Channel without success, she awakened the skill of sensing the star level.
She sensed the star rank of her destiny star, and through this technique, she entered the starry sky vision field as a non-scholar!
This is unprecedented.
And until now, there has not been another non-scholar who has entered the starry sky field of vision in this way.
Later, when awakening the shape of the destiny star, everyone relied on soul cards to find their names, but Gu Jieshuang was the only one who found the shape of his destiny star through his name.
There is no doubt that she is special.
The power of the star rank can transcend space and time. Before, Yu Cang only thought that Wu Qu, like other stars, must exist somewhere in the starry sky and exist under the same starry sky as them, but now it seems that this may not be the case.
"Wu Qu...actually comes from the stars of the past or future?"
La nodded: "If not for this, Gu Jieshuang's condition just now would have been enough to attract His attention... just like the previous two times."
The two previous times naturally refer to Duan Zai and Saran.
The summoning process, in La's opinion, was actually very simple... it was just a matter of finding some method to attract the attention of a specific evil god, and then creating an environment where his vision could be unobstructed, and success would be achieved.
The latter is relatively simple. Zixu Lake can be used, and the cloudless sky at night in the God-Condemned Wasteland can also be used - even if the cloudless environment is artificially created.
The former is more difficult...it's not so easy to attract the attention of the evil god.
The thoughts and consciousness of those gods who turned into celestial bodies have become a chaos. Although they can feel it when their names are mentioned by others, the starry sky is so vast that it is difficult to attract the attention of such a large area.
Normally, if you chant the name of a god, you are the only one who will suffer, and it cannot be used as a means of attack.
Only by finding a specific method for a specific celestial body can one attract attention - and in any case, Gu Jieshuang's previous attempt to "replace" Wu Qu was enough to attract attention.
If the distance is far enough, the longevity tent may be able to block the gaze, but it is absolutely impossible for La to be unaware.
Therefore, there is probably only one possibility - Wu Qu does not exist in this starry sky.
Yu Cang rubbed his chin: "Then what does this... mean?"
La: "First of all, she doesn't need to worry about whether Dixing will harm her all the time like you do."
"..." Yu Cang laughed, "Actually, there's no need to worry about normal fate stars..."
The Emperor Star is special after all...and even if it is the Emperor Star, if Yu Cang is willing to follow the path of the Emperor Star, there will probably be no problem.
It’s just that Yu Cang wanted more, so he didn’t dare to fully trust Di Xing.
"Secondly... just like now, with this ownerless power, Gu Jieshuang can borrow more and more easily, and even... eventually become a martial music."
Yu Cang frowned: "Then... won't this cause any problems?"
"This depends on the situation," La said. "If Wu Qu comes from the past, then Jie Shuang's seizure of its power could be a revival of Wu Qu, but it could also be a simple inheritance of power. And if Wu Qu comes from the future...
"Then, it is very likely... the 'Wu Qu' that transcends mythology and becomes a celestial body is Gu Jie Shuang himself!"
"Eh?" Gu Jieshuang's eyes widened. She pointed at herself, "Surpassing mythology? Me?"
I can barely even become a legend...
La nodded gently: "You have to believe in yourself... In my opinion, whether you are strong or not in the end depends only on your own awareness, and has nothing to do with talent."
He came from the Roland Sky Realm, a world where knowledge could accomplish everything, and so-called physical talent was, to some extent, just a burden.
In La's opinion, talent only needs to be enough for you to embark on the true path, and the rest of the journey can be completed through enlightenment.
And Gu Jieshuang definitely has this kind of awareness.
"Wait, doesn't that mean..." Yu Cang blinked, "Gu Jieshuang's life star is herself? Is that even possible? Then isn't Jie Emei the power she borrowed from her future self?"
"That's just a possibility," La said. "We also need to be wary of the possibility that Wu Qu comes from the past."
"Hmm." Gu Jieshuang looked a little overwhelmed. "Is it so troublesome... If I had known, I wouldn't have chosen Jie Emei as the carrier..."
Yu Cang looked over and asked, "Can I choose for myself?"
"That's right... Senior Taichu specifically told me in the illusion to choose something closely connected to me as the carrier of the prototype of the sword intent... It would be great if I had a soul card like Duan Feng, made by myself, but I'm not a card maker, so I can only choose Jie Emei."
"Then don't think about it for now. As for the matter of the destiny star... I will study it carefully later."
Yu Cang's eyes flashed with curiosity. "What is your sword intent? How did you summon so many swords at once?"
When asked this question, Gu Jieshuang chuckled.
"My sword intent... Hey, Boss, why aren't you surprised? This is sword intent. Aren't you surprised that I actually comprehended sword intent?"
When Gu Jieshuang said the words "sword intent", he still felt it was a little unreal.
This is the sword intent!
Along the way, she has witnessed countless people's sword intent, some arrogant, some elegant, but no matter which one, it is a powerful force that is natural and has been cultivated through skills.
She had always thought that the word "sword intent" was still far away from her, and she didn't know how long it would take for her to possess her own sword intent...but she didn't expect that after just spending a short while with Senior Tai Chu, she would actually comprehend it directly.
All this is fake, like a dream.
Seeing Gu Jieshuang's eyes full of expectation and as if she wanted to praise him, Yu Cang was silent for a moment.
Still couldn't help it and burst out laughing.
“…”
Gu Jieshuang puffed out her cheeks.
"What are you doing... Boss, why do you have that expression?"
"Hahaha, it's okay, Jie Shuang, you're so cute." Yu Cang waved his hand, "Do you know... as early as when you were in Tianmen, you had already comprehended the sword intent. Maybe... you are the only one who doesn't know it yet."
"Eh?" Gu Jieshuang was stunned. "Really?!"
There is such a thing!
She understood the sword intent so early...but why doesn't she know it herself?
"It's normal. This is a necessary process for understanding the sword's will."
A strange AI synthesized sound came from behind, and Tai Hin had come closer without knowing when.
"You already possess the rudiments of sword intent at your age... Even with abundant resources, it can be said to be rare in ancient and modern times. Don't waste your talent."
Under the hood, Tai Chu looked at Gu Jieshuang with a slightly complicated look in his eyes.
Sword intent is the ultimate in swordsmanship. Any swordsman who knows of the existence of sword intent will regard it as his lifelong pursuit.
And... I heard that in this era, two people have already comprehended the rudiments of sword intent... and they are both young people.
Times have really changed.
She couldn't help but wonder, if she had been able to learn the five sword intents one after another like Gu Jieshuang when she was young, and had teachers like her and Feng to guide her, would she be able to comprehend the sword intent at this age?
...It's hard to say.
Tai Chu's eyes swept across Gu Jieshuang and the cold look on her shoulder.
That talent called "Return to the Origin" is truly terrifying.
Use your body to record the sword intent... plus this miraculous method of sensing the star level.
All of this made Tai Chu have a feeling - perhaps, after Gu Jieshuang, the path ahead for those who came after them to learn the sword would no longer be so illusory.
Instead, there is a practical and feasible path that can draw on the experience of predecessors!
Although the requirements for understanding are still high, they are no longer out of reach.
From being high and mighty to having hope for everyone.
Is this the new era?
Tai Chu's eyes moved and finally fell on Yu Cang.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the era opened up by this young generation.
Emperor Chang'an, ah, Emperor Chang'an.
Asking her to personally escort Yu Cang, was he showing off to her... She seemed to have seen Di Changan's smug expression.
Look! This is the young generation of Yan Country!
The protagonist of the next era!
Tai Hina's emotions were a bit complicated, but no one could see it from under the hood.
But after hearing her words, Gu Jieshuang's expression became serious and he bowed seriously: "Disciple will follow the teacher's teachings."
Tai Hina: "...Call me teacher? Seriously?"
However, only one of her apprentices has survived so far.
Gu Jieshuang blinked: "The one who taught me the way of swordsmanship must be Jieshuang's teacher."
Looking at her confused eyes, Tai Chu knew that she didn't understand what he meant.
She shook her head and smiled.
"Well, then I'll just accept your call of teacher."
"Hey, thank you, teacher!"
"Okay, tell me about your sword skills."
"Okay!" Gu Jieshuang nodded and said, "My sword intent is called: 'Heaven's Heart Like Snow'! The pendulum summon I just performed was a special summon in which I used my sword intent to infect the pendulum bridge. I call it - Sword Intent Pendulum!
“Actually, achieving the Sword Intent Pendulum is quite demanding… I placed the Sword Intent on Jie Emei, and was able to set it as the inner side. In this case, not every Soul Card is qualified to be placed at the other end of the Pendulum Bridge… Fortunately, I have Leng Jue.
"Leng Jue's magical power is derived from my talent. It can carry the sword intent. It is precisely this characteristic that allows him to successfully build a spiritual pendulum bridge with my Jie Emei."
On Gu Jieshuang's shoulder, Leng Jue raised his little head and looked at Yu Cang with a smile, as if he wanted to get a compliment.
But Yu Cang didn't even look at her - mainly because he didn't dare, and besides, it was not his turn to praise this matter.
Sure enough, Gu Jieshuang reached out and touched Leng Jue's little head: "Thank you, Leng Jue... I am very lucky to be your comrade-in-arms."
Leng Jue still wanted to continue looking at Yu Cang, but Gu Jieshuang's big hand seemed to have an irresistible force, and she forcibly turned the little fox's head in front of her face. No matter how Leng Jue struggled, he could only stick close to Gu Jieshuang and could not see Yu Cang.
"This sword-intention pendulum allows me to summon soul cards from my deck using the 'Weapon Binding' technique... no matter what type or position the soul cards are in! However, once these soul cards pass through the pendulum bridge, they can only exist in the form of 'swords'."
Yu Cang hissed softly, "This... is a bit strong."
Normally, in order to use the soul card, it is necessary to establish a deep connection and a shallow connection with the soul energy well. The soul card master also controls the soul card through these two connections.
Equipment cards have another connection method - device knot.
The equipment summoned by Gu Jieshuang can also be equipped to Yu Cang or Yu Cang's summoned beast. At this time, there are no two connection relationships between this equipment card and Yu Cang, but there is an equipment knot, so Yu Cang can also use the ability of the equipment card through the equipment knot.
According to Gu Jieshuang, the soul cards summoned by the sword pendulum will be transformed into swords, and then connected to Gu Jieshuang through a weapon knot... In other words, it doesn't matter what the previous state was, or whether there was a shallow or even deep connection.
Even if the soul card has been disconnected, as long as it is in the card box, it can be summoned using the sword pendulum!
It can be placed anywhere, that is, on death cooldown, on the field, in the deck, and in the extra deck, all can be summoned at once!
The weapon knot does not produce mental pressure, so the number of swords that can be summoned this time depends only on the thickness of Gu Jieshuang's deck... and her ability to control the equipment cards.
"Any soul card that passes through the sword spirit pendulum...will it turn into a sword?"
"That's right." Gu Jieshuang nodded. "Whether it's a spell card, a summon card, or even a field card, they will all be presented in the form of swords...but their original abilities will be preserved as much as possible."
"What happened after the summons?" Yu Cang suddenly asked, "I just saw you put those swords back into the Pendulum Bridge?"
"Hmm... This is also the characteristic of the Sword Pendulum," Gu Jieshuang explained. "These summoned swords cannot be used as materials... When they leave the field, they return to the deck, and they return to the same place they came from."
Those who were previously disconnected will be disconnected again. Those who were originally in the death cooldown will not be able to escape after returning.
This characteristic...is not a disadvantage, it's just not an advantage.
With the sword pendulum, Gu Jieshuang can always unleash another wave of outbursts no matter when the battle ends. As long as he still has sword intent, he will never reach the point of exhaustion!
"However, the cooling time of the Sword Intention Pendulum is quite long... Maybe I'm not familiar with my own Sword Intention yet. Once I become more proficient, it might be much better."
