Chapter 1190 The Incomplete Sword Ball
Although the sword ball is in the form of a sword, its essence is the art of practicing Qi, a method of absorbing the Qi of heaven and earth for one's own use.
Qigong practitioners in ancient times sought to strengthen themselves through practicing Qi in order to achieve the elusive state of immortality.
Although I have never heard of any Qigong practitioner truly reaching the realm of immortality, they continue the human belief in pursuing life.
Zhou culture regards qi as sword. It is not so much about practicing swordsmanship as it is about transforming one's own beliefs into a sword.
"I think of the sword, one thought brings life, one thought brings death. I only hope that my thoughts in this life will be clear. What does my past life or future life have to do with me?" Zhou Wen carved the sword ball over and over again, trying to make it look like a sword.
At this time, what Zhou Wen was carving was no longer the shape of the sword, but his own belief. The sword is like the man, the sword is like his heart, and the stronger the heart, the stronger the sword's edge.
“It is better to take it from the straight than to seek it from the crooked.” The sword carved by Zhou Wen is upright and peaceful, with a straight blade. It is the most traditional sword style in the East District. The sword is like the person, and this sword is a portrayal of Zhou Wen himself.
However, the sword engraved on the Wheel of Fortune was unable to help Jianwan advance to the Fear Level.
"What's missing? What's missing?" Zhou Wen reflected on himself. He had been meditating for a hundred years, but the time he had spent on practicing Qigong and sword pills was relatively small.
It’s not because Zhou Wen doesn’t like using a sword, but because the Qigong technique is too monotonous. The words “practice” and “understand” have already summarized the essence of this Qigong technique.
However, with his body trapped, Zhou Wen could only think about it but not practice. Without the practice link, he lacked the most basic link and it was difficult to make further progress. Therefore, Zhou Wen did not spend too much time on practicing Qigong.
Zhou Wen slashed down with sword after sword, carving the sword ball over and over again. Each time the sword ball he drew was a little different, but not once could it be firmly fixed on the wheel of fate. It was obvious that he had not yet truly found his sword heart.
"What exactly is my sword heart? Killing? Guarding? Acting recklessly? It seems none of them." Zhou Wen found that he seemed to have not yet been able to understand his own heart.
Zhou Wen hadn't failed like this for a long time. The successful transformation of several Yuan Qi Jue into terror made him feel a little proud, and he felt that it was only a matter of time before the remaining several Yuan Qi Jue became terror.
"Still not working?" The sword ball engraved on the Wheel of Fortune disappeared again, making Zhou Wen a little disappointed.
Sometimes the hardest person to understand is not your opponent, but yourself, because people can see others but cannot see themselves.
Before the invention of mirrors, no one knew what they looked like. It can be said that one is the most familiar stranger.
"Using a mirror as a mirror, you can see your appearance; using people as a mirror, you can see your own heart. I haven't met the person who can let me see myself yet, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to condense a true sword heart..." Zhou Wen's mind was in turmoil.
He knew his shortcomings, but he had no intention of giving up and wanted to find another way.
"Since I still haven't been able to understand my own heart, can I replace it with other methods?" Zhou Wen thought of the Immortal-Slaying Sword.
When he killed Emperor Tian with one sword, he personally felt the terrifying sword intent of the Sword of Immortal Slaying. No one understood the artistic conception and belief of the sword better than him.
Zhou Wen continued to carve on the Wheel of Destiny while recalling the Immortal-Slaying Sword.
Lu Bushun and others saw that Zhou Wen had slashed countless times with his sword on the Three Lives Stone, but none of them could leave any marks on the stone. Instead, the swords condensed in his hands broke again and again, and they all felt that there was no hope.
"General, can we find a way to cross the Wangchuan River directly without going through the Naihe Bridge?" Lu Bushun said as he looked at the Wangchuan River.
An Sheng shook his head and said, "Legend has it that the Wangchuan River is the boundary between the Yin and Yang worlds. Traveling from the Yang world to the Yin world is no longer a matter of distance. If one could cross it without walking on the Naihe Bridge, there wouldn't be so many vengeful spirits trapped in the Wangchuan River."
"But this is not a solution. Even though Young Master Wen's swordsmanship is so powerful, he can't leave any mark on the Three Lives Stone. I'm afraid this road is blocked." Lu Bushun sighed.
"General, how about I go over and take a look first?" An Sheng suggested, wanting to cross the Naihe Bridge by himself to find the whereabouts of Ouyang Lan and others.
"Wait a little longer." An Tianzuo said, looking in the direction of Naihe Bridge.
Lu Dashun and others were a little surprised. They didn't know what An Tianzuo was waiting for, but what An Tianzuo said was a military order. They didn't dare to ask more and could only continue to wait.
On the other side, the sword transformed from the sword ball in Zhou Wen's hand looked more and more like the Immortal-Slaying Sword.
The more the sword ball resembles the Immortal-Slaying Sword, the more unreal it looks to outsiders, appearing and disappearing as if it is about to disappear.
when!
An unusual sword sound startled Lu Bushun and the others who were talking. Everyone turned around and saw Zhou Wen standing in front of the Three Lives Stone with his bare hands. There was actually a foot-long sword mark on the indestructible Three Lives Stone.
Next, they only saw Zhou Wen's palm waving in the air, as if holding an invisible and invisible sword.
As Zhou Wen waved his hand, gravel flew from the Three Lives Stone, and sword marks appeared one after another. Soon, the word Zhou Wen was carved out.
The strokes of those two characters were like sword edges, and each and every one of them was filled with terrifying sword intent. Just looking at those two characters made Lu Bushun and the others feel a chill down their spines, and they subconsciously took half a step back.
"What a terrifying sword intent!" After waking up, everyone realized that it was just the sword intent contained in the words.
The two words "Zhou Wen" were forcibly carved on the San Sheng Stone and did not disappear like An Sheng and Ya'er's names. It is unknown whether the names carved in this way are valid.
"Asheng, I'll go across the bridge with you to take a look." Zhou Wen retracted the frightened sword ball and secretly glanced at the information in his mobile phone.
Terrorization: Incomplete Sword Ball (S-rank).
Although the name has some problems, it is also expected. After all, this is the Fear Sword Pill he made by imitating the Sword of Immortal Slaughter, not his own sword heart.
If Zhou Wen didn't have no time to wait, he wouldn't have chosen this path. It would be safer to advance his sword heart to the level of terror.
"General, how about Young Master Wen and I go over and take a look first?" An Sheng asked An Tianzuo again.
"Does a name engraved like this count?" An Tianzuo did not answer An Sheng's words, but asked the white-haired grandmother.
"Just leave your name." The white-haired grandmother said calmly.
After hearing this, An Tianzuo turned around and walked towards the Three Lives Stone. As he walked towards the Three Lives Stone, a strange figure appeared behind him.
It was a white humanoid armored creature, floating behind An Tianzuo. There was a device similar to a rocket jet propulsion on its back. One hand held a sword and the other held a Gatling-like weapon. It looked like a modern individual robot.
