Chapter 359: The Secret of the Sky River, Life-Saving Grace

Yan Wushuang felt a little regretful.

Zheng Fa, Sister Zhang and others formed a circle and left a space for them. He then stood on the space in the circle, looking just like the street performers he had seen.

What's more, he was selling the sect's most precious secret technique.

He took a deep breath, put aside all the random thoughts in his mind, pointed his finger at the broadsword, and said, "This is the sword energy thunder sound!"

Zheng Fa used his Dongxu Spirit Eye, with silver light flickering in his pupils. He concentrated even more on Yan Wushuang's words, watching him demonstrate the awe-inspiring Tianhe swordsmanship.

Yan Wushuang's natal flying sword was touched by him, and the sword body made a slight buzzing sound, and suddenly disappeared in front of everyone! In an instant, without a sound or a trace!

Even with the help of the Dongxu Spirit Eye, Zheng Fa could only see a fleeting trace of spiritual energy.

"boom!"

A thunderous sound rang out in the sky, and everyone looked up. Yan Wushuang's flying sword had already crossed the sky, leaving a long white trail behind the hilt.

At the end of the track is a magnificent mushroom cloud.

There were many exclamations heard from the nine islands of Tiangong.

"this……"

This looks familiar! Normally, he calls this a missile.

Zheng Fa watched the broadsword fall into Yan Wushuang's hands and was surprised: Xuanwei black technology - recyclable missiles? He put aside all his guesses and looked at Xiao Yuying who seemed to know what he was going to ask: "There are traces of thunder magic, so the thunder should have the ability to kill evil."

Senior Sister Zhang's eyes also glowed with silver light, and she added: "It also contains certain fire magic."

Uncle Pang nodded slowly: "It's a bit like a combination of several spells."

He has been studying immortal formations with the old man, and has also done a deep study on the method of connecting talismans. When he said this, his expression was very determined.

"In that case, our previous guess was too superficial." Zheng Fa pondered slowly and said, "Tianhe Sword Dao is more complicated than we imagined."

Senior Sister Zhang nodded slightly, as if in agreement, and added: "After all, he is Venerable Tianhe."

Yes, he is Venerable Tianhe after all.

They had had many speculations about the sword energy and thunder sound before.

For example, like the Thunder Stone, it is the Five Elements Symbols that produce particle flows and vibrate the air.

For example, if the flying sword is too fast, it will produce a sonic boom.

Or maybe it's a kind of thunder magic performed with a magic sword.

But Yan Wushuang's demonstration made them understand what Tianhe Venerable did. He wanted it all! Under Yan Wushuang's demonstration, the sword energy and thunder sound were clearly divided into three stages: the first was the flight of the flying sword itself, which was already extremely fast and was absolutely difficult to guard against.

The second part is the changes inside the flying sword, probably due to the effect of the Five Elements Symbols. The particle structure inside it transforms rapidly, which in turn produces a rapid particle flow: the power of this explosion combined with the speed of the flying sword makes it even more difficult to defend against, and the lethality can be imagined.

The third part is the sound produced by the explosion, which is the so-called thunder sound.

"Venerable Tianhe is a frugal person." Uncle Pang sighed, "He doesn't waste any spiritual energy."

That's true.

Yan Wushuang's sword energy and thunder sound actually made no sound at the beginning, which means that Venerable Tianhe had a way to cover up the sound.

The subsequent thunder sounds are actually used to intimidate the enemy or even kill demons.

In other words, the sword energy and thunder sound of Venerable Tianhe was created by creating an explosion through the rapid particle flow, and he also combined the explosion sound with the thunder method, recycling it for reuse, giving the sword method an additional layer of deterrent power.

In the case of modern missiles, even the sonic boom has to have some special effects.

It is really very economical, or rather, it shows the ingenuity of this method.

Seeing Yan Wushuang coming over, Zheng Fa said, "Frugality is a good thing. This sword energy thunder sound uses the least amount of spiritual power to produce the greatest lethality."

"Venerable Tianhe's design is indeed close to perfection."

Yan Wushuang couldn't help but reveal some pride on his face.

Even performing arts has become more exciting!

"This is sword energy turning into rainbow!"

He shouted loudly, put in all his effort, and became one with the sword, and a sword rainbow shot out into the distance.

The sword rainbow traveled a thousand miles in an instant and headed straight for a piece of...turtle shell that everyone had prepared long ago.

This tortoise shell was left behind by the previous incarnation of the god. It is extremely hard. Although the spiritual power in it has disappeared after his death, it is still impossible for an ordinary cultivator to break it.

Madam Xuanhua has always coveted this thing, and seems to be planning to use it to practice a defensive magic weapon.

Yan Wushuang's sword lightly passed over it, and a shallow white gap appeared on the extremely hard tortoise shell.

Madam Xuanhua flew over quickly, reached out and touched the turtle shell, with a look of heartache on her face.

Zheng Fa and others also stepped forward to look at the scars on the tortoise shell and were all very surprised - no matter how powerful this incarnation of the spirit remains, its defensive power is definitely comparable to that of an ordinary Nascent Soul magic weapon.

It is truly amazing that Yan Wushuang, a golden elixir, can leave a mark with just one sword.

"The sword energy has a thunderous sound, and the sword energy turns into a rainbow of subtlety."

Senior Sister Zhang directly expressed Zheng Fa’s thoughts.

Xiao Yuying added: "This move is closer to thunder magic, very similar to the thing you mentioned before...laser."

Zheng Fa pondered in his heart. Compared with the Sword Qi Thunder Sound which looked very powerful, the Sword Qi Turning into Rainbow was another style - silent and without any trace, but the power was concentrated at one point, and it even had a bit of the meaning of high-energy laser cutting.

Its killing power is actually greater than that of Sword Qi and Thunder Sound.

"Not only that." Uncle Pang said, "This flying sword seems to have turned into an air shield, wrapping Yan Wushuang, not only can it carry him flying, but also protect him from magic damage."

Yan Wushuang also flew back. After hearing this, he said half boastfully and half affirmatively: "Sword Qi Transforming into Rainbow is the most popular flying method in our sect."

"The sword is extremely sharp and has the ability to protect you. No one can stop it."

After saying that, he looked at Zheng Fa expectantly: "How is it, did you figure out anything?"

Zheng Fa frowned and said softly, "The only thing that can be seen is that when Venerable Tianhe designed these methods, he thought very carefully."

Whether it is the use of Leiyin or relying on the sword rainbow's ability to kill the enemy to protect himself, these methods of Venerable Tianhe can be said to be perfect.

Before, Zheng Fa was thinking that this method also had sound and light effects, was it because Venerable Tianhe wanted to show off...

Now it seems that it is quite classy, ​​but also very practical.

"In fact, one thing has been confirmed." Senior Sister Zhang said: "This method involves the transformation of the spiritual weapon's form."

Zheng Fa also nodded. Although there was not much that could be seen, this was very obvious - whether it was the final explosion and recovery of the sword energy and thunder sound, or the gas shield in the sword energy turning into a rainbow, they were all changes in form visible to the naked eye.

Yan Wushuang's demonstration now actually partially verified their previous ideas. What they didn't expect was that the sword technique designed by Venerable Tianhe was so meticulous.

After all, what you learn from books is always superficial.

Seeing it for themselves, or experimenting, would refine their ideas.

"Fairy Xiao, do you remember the changes in the thunder technique just now?"

Xiao Yuying nodded.

Zheng Fa looked at Uncle Pang again, and Uncle Pang nodded and said, "I also wrote down the changes in the spiritual energy."

After they sorted out the data, they all looked at Yan Wushuang.

Yan Wushuang gritted his teeth, held the broadsword in his right hand and stretched it forward, saying, "You want to take my Wushuang sword... it won't hurt anything, right?"

Wushuang Sword? From this name, Zheng Fa could sense Yan Wushuang's ambition.

Seeing his uneasy expression, Zheng Fa smiled and explained, "Brother Yan, don't worry. I won't touch your Wushuang Sword, so you just hold it."

Yan Wushuang smiled brightly upon hearing this, and said happily, "Is this okay?"

“It doesn’t matter.”

"That would be best, that would be best... huh?"

As he spoke, a ray of five-element spiritual light burst out from Zheng Fa's hand and landed on the Wushuang Sword.

The Wushuang Sword jumped, and Yan Wushuang hurriedly grasped his own flying sword. He looked at Zheng Fa, his eyes slowly fell on the Wushuang Sword, and the smile on the corner of his mouth slowly disappeared bit by bit.

"...Brother Yan?"

Seeing that his face was becoming increasingly sad, Zheng Fa asked with concern and curiosity.

“Just now, the Wushuang Sword… even though it was in my hand, but…” Yan Wushuang raised his head, his eyes full of resentment and confusion, “I know that it doesn’t recognize me. Not only does it not recognize me, it also wants to pounce on you…”

“…”

Zheng Fa was speechless.

"It's better not to let me have it. That way, I won't know..."

Yan Wushuang's tone was so sad that Zheng Fa couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

When he turned around, he saw Uncle Pang and the others quietly walked two steps away, and the expressions they looked at him were indescribable.

The Blood River Patriarch nodded continuously. He glanced at the flying sword under his feet and felt that he and Yan Wushuang had the same feelings - that day, he was hiding well, and his natal flying sword, which had accompanied him day and night and entrusted his life to him, just kicked him out.

That feeling... He had never felt so wronged in all his years in the Demon Sect! "Hey... This is all for research!"

Yan Wushuang raised his head suddenly, as if unwilling to give up, and asked him: "What did you find?"

"I discovered..." Zheng Fa sighed and said, "I discovered that I am a fool!"

Zheng Fa's words made everyone look over, wondering why he said that.

"I have been wondering why multiple Five Elements Symbols and atoms can combine, but I have never figured out how they can combine. I did not expect that multiple Five Elements Symbols can combine in the first place!"

Senior Sister Zhang was startled, and a look of sudden realization appeared on her face: "Five Elements Ring?"

Zheng Fa nodded slightly. He looked at the Feixian Sword and explained, "In Brother Yan's flying sword, I found a composite symbol. It is composed of the Fire Symbol, the Earth Symbol, and the Gold Symbol."

“…”

"Fire creates earth, earth creates gold... this is the order in which the five elements combine!"

Except for Yan Wushuang, everyone else understood at this time - everyone in the Nine Mountains Realm had studied "The Foundation Building Method of the Way of Talismans", and the perfected "The Foundation Building Method of the Way of Talismans" included the concept of the Five Elements Sub-Talisman Rings.

“你是说，五行子符，是结合在一起，环绕着原子的？”

章师姐有点懵。

“是，天河尊者的思路大概是如此。他的结合方式和我们不同，但原理应该差不多。”

郑法铸就道基的时候，五行子符环是一种莫比乌斯双面镜的结构。

章师姐就简单些，就是个头环模样。

天河尊者似乎又不同。

从郑法得到了天赋神通来说，郑法的五行环结构是最完美的。

“《符道筑基法》……”庞师叔忽然叹息道，“章师侄，当年怕是我错了。你完善的这个法门，居然真直指大道！”

章师姐还在发呆，似乎也没想到，兜来兜去，居然兜回了这一门功法。

庞师叔还在赞叹：“只此一门功法，章师侄，你的名字日后恐怕能千古流芳。”

章师姐猛地清醒，转头看着郑法笑道：“不，符道筑基法的理念是祖师提出来的，我完善了最基础的，郑法才是将其推至大成的人。”

“千古流芳的，是九山，郑法和章无衣。”

庞师叔点点头，觉得这么说也不错，可下一刻就觉得有些不对——九山郑法和章无衣……这三个人的名字，怎么被章师侄念出了两个人的感觉？“燕兄，你们天河派的人炼制本命飞剑，是不是分为三步？”

郑法忽然对燕无双问道。

燕无双一呆，轻轻点头。

“第一步……是练出真火？”

“……”

燕无双的表情有点吓到了，他瞪着眼睛，看着郑法，一个字都没说，但所有人都知道——郑法说得对。

“第一步，是将火行子符和粒子结合？”章师姐也听明白了。

最⊥新⊥小⊥说⊥在⊥六⊥9⊥⊥书⊥⊥吧⊥⊥首⊥发！

“对，从五行相生来说，火行子符，土行子符，最后才是金行子符。”郑法又问道，“要想有土行子符，除了功法之外，还能……采集些灵矿？燕兄，你们第二步是不是要用真火炼灵矿？”

燕无双深深吸了两口气，表情崩溃：“祖师在上，我一个字都没说！”

他像是放弃了，颓然开口道：“天河派练剑，先是采集天地灵火入体，然后再采集灵矿，最后炼出一口本命飞剑。”

轩华夫人皱眉道：“这不就是玄微炼器的过程么？”

“是……”郑法此时又感叹道，“大家都是这么炼器的，但唯独天河尊者，更进一步，从中推出了三子符结合的法门，后来更是有了九转金丹法。”

“你的意思是，天河尊者是从炼器中，先弄出了如今的天河宗炼器之法，后来才完善成九转金丹法？”

庞师叔愣道。

郑法摇头道：“我只是觉得有这种可能，一门法门自然不是凭空出现的。”

“现在再回想炼剑成丝，剑化万千。炼剑成丝且不说，剑化万千的难点其实在于……木行子符应该是这个顺序中最后一个结合的子符。”

章师姐缓缓点头：“金生水，水才能生木。因此不领悟九转金丹法，就不可能炼成剑化万千。”

郑法心悦诚服地说道：“能创造出这种功法，天河尊者……不愧是天纵奇才，一世最强。”

按照他的推测，天河尊者从炼器之法从是领悟了如今天河派的炼剑之法，这一门功法的威力如何，看天河派如今的地位就知道了。

不止如此，天河尊者又创造了天河剑道，从剑气雷音，剑气化虹的完善度来看，这一门剑道也极尽大成。

更不用说后续的九转金丹法了，这可以说是最强的金丹法门。

从这三门相辅相成的秘法中，郑法就能看到天河尊者那极致的天赋。

燕无双在他们身边，听郑法赞扬自家祖师，脸色却又很复杂。

郑法看他如此，不由望着他，就听他喃喃地说道：“再厉害，你不也一下子就想明白了？”

“我天河派这么多年都失传的秘法，你这么短时间就能弄明白……”他轻轻抚摸着无双剑，脸上竟有些释然，“这……也值了。”

“……”

“创造和复现是不同的……”郑法摇着头，心中明白逆向研发本就简单许多，他又道，“而且现在只能说是确定了原理……之后，就是按照《金丹工程》的思路，继续实验了。”

他看着轩华夫人，毕竟这玩意其实可以说是金丹工程的延伸。

轩华夫人轻轻点头，脸色又是振奋，又是为难。

振奋的是，他们如今正在复现天河尊者最强的功法！

为难的是，这其中的实验怎么做，她还只是隐隐有点头绪。

……

郑法他们忙于研究天河剑道和九转金丹法，不自觉就将其他人忘在了脑后。

但九山宗能忘了别人，别人可忘不了他们。

郑法在天宫岛上接待着来访的成空上人，有些疑惑，问道：“上人此来何意？”

成空上人先是看了眼郑法身旁的几人，目光在血河老祖和蛟无忌脸上停了片刻，脸上有些讶异——他一直在疑惑，九山宗到底有什么隐藏手段，是怎么能杀了两个妖族化神的。

但如今来九山界才意识到，不论九山宗的隐藏手段是什么，他们表面的实力，也绝不同于往日！章无衣，郑法，血河老祖还有蛟无忌，几乎相当于四个化神。

和大自在魔教一战下来，九山宗的实力起码翻了一倍！虽然依旧比不上他们玄微五宗，但玄微五宗之下，九山宗如今绝对是独占鳌头，甚至可以直接叫玄微第六宗了！

他深吸一口气，脸上浮现出笑意，朝着郑法拱手道：“我是来道谢的。”

郑法一愣，没明白怎么回事。

成空上人就讲起了那七龙瀚海大阵之事，又说道：“若非九山宗，我等怕是只能等死，九山宗对我有救命之恩……”

他表情真挚，话中的意思也清楚：

第一次，郑法虽有传信之功，但主力还是成空上人。

第二次六路进攻陈郡，郑法又有夺旗之功，但也能说是多方合作。

既然都出了力，无非是功劳大小的问题。

唯独这一次，他们其实毫无作为，反而是九山宗一手挽天倾，这便不是功劳，而是恩，救命之恩！

他从储物袋中拿出一堆玉瓶说道：“救命之恩无以言表，这里有些太上道丹药，除了我多年积攒的，还有明德首座给的……虽不足九山宗恩情万一，但也能聊表心意。”

一旁，庞师叔看着他手中的玉瓶，心中却有些感慨。

之前，成空上人在通明山大殿中的战利品分配，那其实是论功行赏，既然是功赏，成空上人心态上还是将自己放在高位的。

但如今亲自上门送丹药，这就是道谢的礼节了。

从俯视到平视，哪种更有诚意，哪种方式更对九山宗尊敬些，谁都看得明白。

庞师叔不由挺了挺腰杆，脸上泛起些笑意。

郑法看了眼那些丹瓶，思考了半天，似乎有些欲言又止。

成空上人只觉得这表情他见过，一回想就想起来了：“你又想换？”

“……嗯？”

“……清静竹没了。”

“没了？没了的话，那扶桑木呢？”

成空上人手一抖，心中只觉离谱。

“我太上道没扶桑木……”他叹口气道，“甚至，我就没听说过谁有这种顶级的天地灵根。”

他原本以为听了这话郑法会失望，结果没想到郑法一听没人有扶桑木，脸上的笑容止都止不住。

“上人误会了，我就是想问问，你可听说过，这世界上可有和扶桑木有关的灵根么？”

清静竹培养出来了。

但郑法还是有点惦记扶桑木。

最重要的是，一棵天地灵根不够保险，再加一棵试试……

这玩意又不嫌多！更何况，清静竹还和自己不亲近。

“有关？”成空上人神色一动，还真就想到了什么，“我知道有种灵根，叫昊日桑……传闻和扶桑木有点关系。”

“昊日桑……”

“对，这是昊日山独有灵根，昊日山功法特殊，擅长箭道。听说昊日桑枝干做成的长弓，别有威能……”

听着这话，郑法也明白这事困难了。

昊日山那位化神和他打的交道不多，或者说，除了长空上人外，连谢晴雪都没有来过九山界——玄微五宗大概还是和其他宗门有壁的。

这就有点难办了。

“你想要昊日桑？”

“嗯……借用一段时间也好，额，树枝都行。”

郑法坦诚道。

“这……不大容易，他们将昊日桑看得极重，从不外流。就是昊日山弟子，也不敢外借。”

成空上人摇摇头，似也无奈。

毕竟郑法虽然救下了那个昊日山化神，但对方认不认这份情都说不好。

就是认，他一个弟子，也拿不出昊日桑相酬。

……

回通明山的时候，成空上人还在想郑法的话，昊日桑比他说的更特殊——他听说灵气衰微，昊日桑如今也难以长成，甚至有些昊日山弟子想要练宝，都拿不到这种灵材。

“怎么了？”

明德首座见他一脸沉思的回来，好奇问道。

"Zheng Fa... he wants the Hao Ri Sang, no, I think he's thinking about the Fu Sang tree." Master Cheng Kong sighed, "It's understandable. Although the Great Free Demon Ancestor cannot come, the situation will get worse day by day. He is also doing this to protect himself."

The head monk Mingde asked, "You mean, he first borrowed the Qingjing Bamboo and then took the Haori Mulberry, for the sake of the Nine Mountains Realm?"

"Master, you also know that once you have a spiritual root of heaven and earth, the cave world will be able to grow on its own and will be more difficult to invade."

"He borrowed the Qingjing Bamboo before, but probably didn't get anything in return. Unexpectedly, he didn't give up and put his mind on the Hao Ri Mulberry..." The more he talked, the more regretful Master Chengkong felt. "Although he was desperate and tried all kinds of methods, this is the helplessness of the leader of a small force."

When he said this, Master Chengkong felt a little sympathy for Zheng Fa, but he also couldn't help feeling a little proud of being a disciple of the Supreme Dao.

After listening to this, Master Mingde remained silent and said nothing.

…

A few days later, Master Mingde suddenly walked into Master Chengkong's room and placed a box on the table.

Master Cheng Kong was stunned. He opened the box and saw a mulberry branch inside. The branch was inserted in a flowerpot. There were all kinds of spiritual objects and prohibitions at the bottom of the flowerpot, as if to prevent the branch from withering.

The branch was completely red, and the mulberry leaves on the branch were shaped like flames, emitting gusts of hot wind that slapped Cheng Kong Shangren's face.

"First Seat? Is this...Haori Sang?"

Although he had never seen Hao Risang, he had heard of the appearance of this spiritual root.

"First Master, you are..."

"I changed it!" A trace of pain flashed across Mingde's face, and he cursed again, "The head of Haori Mountain is so shameless. I told him that Zheng Fa saved the lives of the disciples of Haori Mountain, and he said that Haori Sang was his life!"

“…”

"First Master, this...Hao Ri Mountain requires a lot, right?"

The head of Mingde snorted coldly: "He has no shame, but I have dignity! My life is valuable!"
