Chapter 99: True Thunder Sword Technique (4,000 words)
Xu Beixuan felt a little inexplicably angry. This was probably because he grew up in the Five Thunder Sword Temple and was deeply influenced by his master, the Five Thunder Immortal, and the Five Thunder Sword Technique. The faith in his heart was also precipitated and strengthened over time, slowly taking shape and eventually growing into the towering tree it is today.
He has been practicing the Five Thunder Sword Technique diligently for more than twenty years, and he is naturally proud of it. Who in the Taoist temples all over the world does not know the great reputation of the Five Thunder Sword Technique?
Now, a young man with an unclear background stood up and said that the Five Thunder Sword Technique was a heresy, and the same was true for the Five Thunder Sword Temple. This was no less than destroying the faith in Xu Beixuan's heart, and the cognition that had been nurtured for more than 20 years was being questioned.
This was something that completely overturned all three perspectives. Even though Xu Beixuan had a pure heart, he couldn't help but get angry. "You know that my Five Thunder Sword Temple is a prestigious sect in this world. I consider your words as provocation and slander. Even if you are Uncle Qingxuan's subordinate, I can still teach you a lesson."
Zhang Ling saw this and shook his head. "Cultivation is not an easy path. The challenges and setbacks you encounter along the way will overturn your old perceptions. You have to restructure your perceptions through repeated overturns and adjust to your optimal state. This is not only about cultivation, but also about life."
After saying that, he stretched out a finger and touched Xu Beixuan's eyebrows, then turned and left.
Seeing that Xu Beixuan had a pure heart for Taoism and excellent aptitude, Zhang Ling could not bear to see him heading towards a dead end, so he showed him the way and gave him enlightenment, so as to leave a spark for this world.
He understood from Xu Beixuan's words that the strongest person in this world was probably only at the first or second level of Earthly Immortal, and there was probably no one above that.
But it makes sense when you think about it. The resources in this small world are very scarce. Even if a celestial being is about to reach perfection, it will consume thousands of years of lifespan to enter this small world. This is really shocking.
Ordinary people in the celestial immortal realm would not squander their lifespan just to enter this world. From another perspective, such behavior is undoubtedly seeking death and destroying one's own lifespan.
Zhang Ling suddenly seemed to understand. This god of good and evil had to patrol the mysterious worlds, and every time he crossed a small world, he would consume a huge amount of lifespan. If it were any other god, it would be absolutely difficult to maintain. Only he, with the support of the Land of Eternal Life, had the capital and strength to complete the journey.
Thinking about this, Zhang Ling checked his lifespan again.
[Name: Zhang Ling]
Age: 1110
[Remaining life span: 1000]
[Immortal Position: Unclassed God of Good and Evil]
[Realm: Nine Realms of Celestial Immortal]
[Magic Powers: Knowing Time, Knowing the Land, Opening Walls, Summoning People, Walking on Earth, Marrying Dreams, Invisibility, Carrying Mountains, Great Strength, Rock Leaping, Creating Mist, Flying Swords, Yellow and White, Talisman Water, Five Thunders Method]
[Perfect Great Divine Power: Zhu Xian, Zhu Xian Sword Formation]
[Longevity Blessings: Spiritual Field (mu), Spiritual Pond (mu), Spiritual Mountain (mu)]
After thinking about it, he realized that his lifespan was only a thousand years. If he were to patrol another small world next time, it would probably be difficult to maintain. He was afraid that his lifespan would be directly reset to zero and he would suffer the five decays of immortality.
He then took out ten fairy dates from his sleeve and put them into his mouth like eating fried sugar beans to calm his nerves.
One immortal date can increase your lifespan by 200 years, and ten dates can directly increase your lifespan by 2,000 years.
[Name: Zhang Ling]
Age: 1110
[Remaining life span: 3000]
…
Zhang Ling felt a little relieved to see that his life span had increased to three thousand years, but he also turned left and right along the road to the Taoist temple and walked towards Huangyuan.
Inside the Five Thunder Hall on the other side.
Xu Beixuan had just received guidance from the immortal Zhang Ling. It was like a revelation, and his heart was enlightened. It seemed that he also had a sudden enlightenment about the doubts and confusions about Taoism in the past.
The Five Thunder Sword Technique that he had always believed in now revealed countless loopholes in his eyes. It was as clumsy as a sieve and difficult to repair. He was afraid that this path of cultivation would really reach a dead end, and his cultivation level would never surpass that of his master for the rest of his life.
The more Xu Beixuan thought about it, the more frightened he became. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He was stunned and fell to his knees with a thud. He looked at the tall statue of the Five Thunder Immortal with a bitter mouth.
At this moment, the Five Thunder Sword Technique that he believed in was no longer as flawless as it once was. His Dao heart was also broken and reconstructed here, but he was in a dilemma with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
On one side was the opportunity that brought him sudden enlightenment, and on the other side was the Five Thunder Sword Temple that had nurtured him for more than twenty years. He didn't know how to choose.
Should he now go to the headmaster and explain the flaws of the Five Thunder Sword Technique? And teach him to abandon the Taoist principles of the Five Thunder Sword Technique?
The master took over the position of the head of the sect from the master's grandfather. He worked diligently all his life, continued the dispute over the orthodoxy of the Five Thunder Sword Temple, and continued to have no contact with the old man of the North Pavilion, but it was all for the Tao in his heart!
The Five Thunder Sword Technique is what my master is proud of and has believed in all his life. If I were to subvert his understanding, I'm afraid he would find it difficult to accept and his faith would collapse in an instant.
Xu Beixuan sighed. His master was old and could no longer be as young as himself. There was still a chance for him to reorganize his Dao heart and restart his cultivation path.
My master has said many times that he would pass the position of the head of the sect to me and teach me to carry forward the Five Thunder Sword Temple and let the glory of the Five Thunder Sword Technique shine in every corner of the world.
However, now, as the chief disciple of the Five Thunder Sword Temple and a candidate for the next leader, he seems unable to complete the task entrusted to him by his master.
The more Xu Beixuan thought about it, the more helpless he felt, and his heart was dejected. Then he remembered Zhang Ling's words just now, and the fairy mist that was gushing out, like a guiding light.
The words still echo in my ears: "Cultivation is not an easy path. The challenges and setbacks you encounter along the way will overturn your old cognition. You can only reorganize your cognition through repeated overturns and adjust to the best state. This is not only the practice, but also life."
