In a flash, another ten years passed. The Shenglong Sword in Long Junhai's hand had been opened to the seal of two thousand dragon forces. If he wanted to continue to open the seal, he could now at least open it to five thousand dragon forces. However, this increase in weight would have no effect at all in defeating the wooden puppet in front of him.
Long Junhai also realized that his understanding of swordsmanship was still not as good as that of this wooden puppet, because he had only been practicing for a hundred years, while the other party had existed in this ancient relic for at least hundreds of millions of years. This gap was simply impossible to make up.
So Long Junhai is now only thinking about how to improve his defense. As long as he can withstand three moves from the opponent without being defeated, then even if he wins, the opponent's current strength level is the same as Long Junhai's, so Long Junhai is still confident that he can withstand it.
In the past, Long Junhai was always thinking about how to attack and how to improve his attack power. Now, for the first time, he is thinking about how to defend and how to make his defense more effective!
It is said that the best defense is offense, so the best offense is also defense. Long Junhai was focused, he felt that as long as he integrated all his sword energy, sword intent and other things into his swordsmanship, then everything would be possible to succeed!
But how to transform one's own sword energy, sword intent, and other things into swordsmanship to form defense? This has become an insurmountable problem.
"Hey, you've been sitting there thinking for several years. When can you continue to fight with me?" The wooden puppet would ask this question several times a day. He seemed to be very depressed in this dark secret room and really needed someone to talk to him and relieve his depression.
But Long Junhai was busy with his own affairs all day and had no time or energy to talk to this wooden puppet.
Just like that, hundreds of years passed in this dark secret room, and Long Junhai still showed no signs of opening his eyes, as if he was dead!
"Hey, hey, hey, you are such a fool. It's okay if we don't meet each other normally, but why do you choose to go into seclusion now when there are people around? Is cultivation really that important? It's useless for you to sit like this for another ten thousand years. You can't even block three of my moves. Why can't you save some time and chat with me?" The wooden man asked unhappily.
When Long Junhai heard this, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "I still have a lot of things to do, so I have to get out as soon as possible!"
"If you want to get out, you will definitely have to withstand my three attacks. However, the power of these three attacks is controlled by me. You might as well please me. Maybe I will show mercy and let you out!" said the wooden puppet with a cheerful smile.
Long Junhai snorted coldly, then said: "Am I deceiving myself? Or are you deceiving yourself? You are a puppet, so you must abide by the rules set by the owner of this secret room. It is impossible to break the rules, otherwise you will die!"
"Haha, you are indeed very smart, but what you don't know is that I don't even have the strength to die! I can only watch others die in front of me, but I can't do anything. It has been countless years, and I have been trapped in this place. No one has ever been able to get out, but I've had enough. I want to see the outside world, I want to go out for a walk, why can't you give me a chance!" The wooden puppet couldn't help but roared at this time.
Long Junhai smiled and said, "If I can get out, I will take you away with me. What do you think?"
"Are you trying to lie to me? Impossible, you can't lie to me at all, because I know I can never walk out of this secret room. I am bound by the laws of nature, I can't die, I can't get out, I can only accompany you to practice sword, it's really troublesome!" said the wooden puppet helplessly.
"The constraints of the Heavenly Dao? Even if the Heavenly Dao constrains you, you can still break it. Why can't you use your own swordsmanship to fight against the Heavenly Dao? The Dao is your own. If you are constrained all day long, how can you walk your own path and cultivate your own Dao?" Long Junhai asked with a smile.
"My swordsmanship is not my swordsmanship, but something injected into my body by others. The reason I am alive is that I am governed by various rules. I will always be a puppet, a wooden man." The wooden puppet had a bitter face and felt very helpless.
Long Junhai smiled and shook his head, then said, "Some humans, even if they have an empty shell, have become puppets. So, whether they are puppets or not does not depend on their appearance, but on their heart. If you want to follow your own choice, then do it. Why hesitate?"
"Hmph! If I could follow my heart, I would kill you first!" said the wooden puppet fiercely.
"Haha, why not? Swords are used to kill people. There's nothing wrong with you killing me. But I don't think you have the ability to kill me now." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Haha, well said. In that case, it depends on whether you can block my sword!" After the wooden puppet finished speaking, it slashed with a sword. The power of this sword was much stronger than before. Long Junhai was beaten so hard that he spurted blood and fell directly to the ground unconscious.
The wooden puppet looked at Long Junhai and snorted coldly, "Hmph, you dare to teach me with this kind of strength? You have your own swordsmanship, but can you fight against the heavens? You can't fight against anything, you can't even fight against me. You are just a guy who knows how to talk big."
When Long Junhai woke up, more than a year had passed. He opened his eyes and looked at the surroundings, recalling the previous attack by the wooden puppet. He knew that he was seriously injured this time. Fortunately, he resisted with all his strength, otherwise he would be in real trouble.
"Oh, you're awake. How do you feel? Do you want to try again? I can let you sleep for another hundred years!" said the wooden puppet happily.
Long Junhai smiled and said, "You are truly quite pathetic. Even if you possess unrivaled power, what good does it do? You are always a puppet at the mercy of others. If you don't resist, you will never escape from this sea of suffering."
"You are laughing at me again! If you have the guts, pick up your sword! This time I will make you sleep for ten thousand years! No! One hundred thousand years! Let you sleep forever!" The wooden puppet roared loudly.
Long Junhai laughed heartily and said, "You should kill me. Killing me would make me sleep forever! It's a pity you don't dare to do it. You don't even dare to try. You are really too funny!"
"Shut up! Shut up!" The wooden puppet roared again, because he felt that Long Junhai was mocking him and looking down on him, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
