Chapter 108: One Finger Transforms into a Peach Forest
The golden pool of water between Lu Yi's eyebrows boiled, his mental power flowed, and he probed into the sword order, sensing the supreme sword intent.
Clang! With a clear sword sound, Lu Yi felt a flash of sword light, and the mighty sword intent with unimaginable powerful aura swept over.
Lu Yi used his own sword intent to resist and was in a stalemate with the sword intent.
This sword intent was different from Lu Yi's sword intent. It was restrained in its edge and suppressed with a majestic aura, without any killing intent.
Lu Yi sensed the mystery in the sword intent and was slightly surprised.
This sword intent seemed to be left behind intentionally by the brilliant old master? Left behind for people to comprehend the sword intent?
The Sword Order issued by the Sword Conference is given to every talented sword practitioner. Sword practitioners can also comprehend the sword intent in the Sword Order. This is a gift from the old master to the entire Eastern Region sword practitioners.
Lu Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and couldn't help but admire the old master.
This old master is so kind and righteous! Lu Yi concentrated his mind and felt the majestic sword intent with all his heart, comparing it with his own sword skills and improving his own shortcomings.
After drinking the enlightenment tea, Lu Yi's comprehension improved greatly in one day. Although it is not as good as a sudden enlightenment, it is also extremely powerful.
At the same time, in Lu Yi's dantian, colorful clouds rolled, colorful lights flashed on the glazed golden elixir, Taoist patterns appeared, and Taoist sounds were singing, which made Lu Yi more in harmony with the Tao and easier to realize the Tao.
Unconsciously, Lu Yi was immersed in this majestic sword intent.
What is the meaning of sword?
Every great swordsman has his own understanding, and the most essential understanding is recognized by everyone.
That is, sword intent, as a kind of artistic conception, is the most obvious expression of the way of heaven and earth. Only by mastering the artistic conception can one comprehend the realm and initially turn heaven and earth into one's own use.
However, based on this basis, everyone's understanding of the meaning of sword is different.
When Lu Yi discussed sword skills with Elder Ming, he also had his own understanding of the way of the sword. Now, he has gained new insights in this vast sword intent.
The person holding the sword is also holding his own state of mind. Practicing sword is also practicing the mind.
'My intention' is 'sword intention', 'my heart' is 'sword heart'.
It was unknown how much time had passed, but the mist in Lu Yi's dantian slowly calmed down, and the Glazed Golden Pill also became quiet.
The sword order in his hand no longer emitted a majestic sword light, and he opened his eyes.
Lu Yi’s black eyes were as clear as spring water, and his mind was pure.
That is a return to nature.
The sword intent is perfect. Every move I make is filled with sword intent. I can send and receive the sword freely, truly achieving the state of letting the sword follow my heart.
Lu Yi had a sudden realization.
This is the only way to comprehend any artistic conception, and it is a process of "control".
Only by truly mastering this artistic conception can you go a step further and control the world around you.
This is the prototype of the "field".
No wonder it is said that perfect artistic conception is the cornerstone of the field.
If you don't fully comprehend the artistic conception, you naturally won't be able to comprehend the realm.
Lu Yi suddenly realized something and at the same time he became more excited about the field.
Unfortunately, even after reaching perfection in sword intent, he still could not see the path to the realm of kendo.
But Lu Yi is not in a hurry at all now, he has plenty of time.
Lu Yi was quite satisfied with himself for having mastered the sword intent to perfection at the Jindan realm.
Anyway, even in the ancient history books, he had never heard of that swordsman having such achievements.
After his sword intent was perfected, Lu Yi put down the sword order and continued to practice.
In the following period of time, Lu Yi's life was very peaceful.
For some reason, Wenjian Villa stayed in Baiyun Sect, as if discussing something with Baiyun Sect.
Jian Ruyu naturally stayed as well.
Jian Ruyu and Liu Ningshuang would practice with each other every day.
Both of them are geniuses at the Nascent Soul stage. Looking at the entire Tianming, they are also the top geniuses with earth-shaking strength.
The two of them were discussing outside the sect. Lu Yi would go to watch from time to time and felt that they had gained a lot of insights.
Later, Lu Yi even brought Donggong Mingyue to watch the two geniuses compete.
This made Donggong Mingyue start to withdraw inwardly. Both Liu Ningshuang and Jian Ruyu were extremely talented. Donggong Mingyue was originally very proud of his rapid improvement in cultivation and started to feel proud.
Now when I look at it, I suddenly feel like a piece of trash.
"Senior sister is so strong! Sister Ruyu is also so strong! I have to work harder too!" Donggong Mingyue's hardworking expression made Lu Yi feel deeply gratified.
"That's right! Practice well and I'll make you something delicious."
If this guy doesn't work hard, how can he be promoted to the Golden Core Realm and how can he get more rewards? On this day, Lu Yi was practicing.
Suddenly, Yun Xi's voice came from outside the door: "Brother Lu Yi, Yun Xi is here to visit, please come out and see her."
Lu Yi opened his eyes and was a little surprised. Why did Yun Xi come?
He left the cave, opened the door and walked out, and saw Yun Xi standing outside the door in a purple dress. She had a pretty face, skin as white as jade, and a faint glow in her crystal clear skin.
Lu Yi chuckled and said, "Yun Xi, why are you here?"
Yun Xi smiled and said, "My grandmother is here too. She said that Wenjian Villa is planning to unite with our three sects and they have something important to discuss. I missed you a little, so I begged my grandmother to bring me along."
Looking at Yun Xi's smile, Lu Yi's mouth twitched.
It was the first time he heard a female cultivator say that she missed him.
However, only Yun Xi would say this, and this is how she has always done it.
Lu Yi smiled and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. Come in and let's have a good chat."
He was also very happy in his heart as he could practice with Yun Xi again.
However, he was also a little shocked.
No wonder Senior Sister Ruyu and the others haven’t left recently. It turns out that Wenjian Villa is already planning to join the Three Sects Alliance?
This is indeed a good thing.
These days, Lu Yi had also heard that the battle among the seven sects was fierce, the whole Qingzhou was in turmoil, and many small sects were even affected.
The disciples of the three sects have always been at a disadvantage in front of the coalition forces of the four sects of the Blood Spirit Sect.
Now that Wenjian Villa has joined, it will be a powerful reinforcement for the three sects of Baiyun Sect.
However, the original seven top sects had been wavering, but now that Wenjian Villa has made a choice and broken the deadlock, the situation in Qingzhou will probably become even more chaotic in the future.
Lu Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He shook his head. After all, he was just an ordinary Jindan cultivator. Even if his combat power was a little stronger, it would not change the overall situation. It was better for him to practice peacefully.
Not long after the monks from the Wanhua Sect arrived, the head of the Handong Valley also arrived and brought Han Yu with him.
For Lu Yi, it is naturally a good thing.
Every day when he has free time, he would practice with Yun Xi and Han Yu to acquire the Hundred Years Spirit Essence and enhance his natural and ice artistic conception.
Now that Lu Yi's sword intent has reached perfection, it may be difficult to improve it in a short period of time. What he can do now is to improve other artistic conceptions first.
It's a pity that because of the current melee among the seven sects, Senior Brother Jiang Fan, along with Senior Brother Tie Man and Senior Brother Bai Yulong, are out there every day, and rarely return to the sect, otherwise his own water state of mind would have been improved.
I have to say that Senior Brother Jiang Fan is worthy of being a cultivator of the Fan generation and has considerable luck.
In such chaos, he managed to make a great reputation with Tieman, Bai Yulong and the other two.
When Lu Yi went to the market to run errands for his master, he would often hear some of his senior brothers and sisters talking about the war situation outside, among whom he would occasionally hear news about his three senior brothers.
During this period, Senior Brother Jiang Fan's cultivation level has actually improved to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. Even Senior Brothers Tie Man and Bai Yulong have improved to the eighth level of Foundation Establishment. They must have obtained some opportunity and their strength has been greatly improved.
The three of them are quite famous among the foundation-building monks of the three sects.
The three of them joined forces and killed several cultivators at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.
Moreover, the small bottle that Senior Brother Jiang Fan obtained was extremely powerful. It once helped him escape from a Jindan cultivator of the Blood Spirit Sect with Tie Man and Bai Yulong.
The three of them fought and fled all the way, and became stronger and stronger.
Lu Yi even began to doubt whether Senior Brother Jiang Fan was a natural warmonger who became stronger the more he fought.
However, these three people are Lu Yi's friends, and Lu Yi is very happy that their strength has improved so quickly.
I just hope the three of them don’t die in vain.
Next time when Senior Brother Jiang Fan and the others come back, I can give them some more advanced magical weapons.
Lu Yi has been going to the Trial Tower for trials these days, and has obtained more magical weapons through tasks.
Especially, the rewards would be increased every time he passed ten levels. Now, he received many high-quality magic weapons as rewards, and some of them were even top-quality magic weapons.
It's a pity that he himself uses a treasure and has no use for these magical instruments. He can give them to others when the time comes.
The heads of Wanhua Sect, Handong Valley and Wenjian Villa stayed in Baiyun Sect for more than a month, and Lu Yi was very happy.
During this month, Lu Yi practiced with Yun Xi and Han Yu every day, and obtained more than four thousand drops of the Hundred Years Spirit Essence.
He had used up nearly a thousand of the spiritual essence that he had cultivated for a hundred years, and now it was finally replenished. It was enough for him to cultivate to the peak of the Golden Core, and might even allow him to break one or two levels of the Heavenly Dao restrictions.
The artistic conception of ice and nature has also been greatly improved, both increased to about 50%, much stronger than before, and is almost the same as the artistic conception of water.
The only thing that gave Lu Yi a headache was that whenever Yun Xi came over, Donggong Mingyue would be like a cat with its fur standing on end every time she met her, and the two would quarrel whenever they met.
In other words, there is a big gap in strength between Yun Xi and Donggong Mingyue, otherwise they would have to fight every day.
More than a month later, the three sect leaders left, taking their geniuses with them.
Even Jian Ruyu followed him away.
"Junior brother, don't forget the Kendo tournament. I will be returning to the Divine Sword Sect soon. See you at the Kendo tournament then."
Before leaving, Jian Ruyu gave Lu Yi some special instructions, fearing that Lu Yi had forgotten.
Naturally, Lu Yi would not forget it. This was related to whether his sword skills could quickly reach the sword realm, and also related to whether he should change his practice method.
After the three sects left, several of Lu Yi's friends also left. Naturally, Lu Yi had some peaceful time and continued to resume his peaceful life of cultivation.
Time flies, and three years have passed in a flash.
During these three years, Lu Yi's cultivation had greatly improved, reaching the eighth level of the Golden Core. Compared with the Foundation Establishment stage, the improvement of his cultivation was a bit slower, but after all, the Golden Core and the Foundation Establishment were different.
For an average Jindan cultivator, it may not be possible to advance to a higher level even after forty or fifty years.
It only took Lu Yi four years to advance from the first level to the eighth level, which was already an astonishing thing.
One day, Lu Yi came out of the cave and came to the outside of Liu Ningshuang's cave. A clear voice rang out: "Senior Sister, I'm here."
Soon, the door of Liu Ningshuang's cave opened, and Liu Ningshuang, wearing a white dress and as cool as the moon, walked out.
Lu Yi chuckled and said, "There are only two months left until the Kendo Tournament. We should set off now."
Liu Ningshuang nodded slightly and chuckled, "Well, I'm ready and can leave at any time."
"That's fine, let's go find Master Ming."
"No need, I'm here." Elder Ming appeared silently on a tree branch not far from the cave, with his hands behind his back, floating like an immortal.
"Now that everything is ready, let's set off. The Divine Sword Sect's sword competition... I was there in the past. Calculating the time, thousands of years have passed." Elder Ming took a step forward and came to Lu Yi and the other man, reminiscing with a distant look in his eyes.
Lu Yi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master Ming, the sect war is in full swing right now. As a strong man in the Void Realm, if you leave, will it have some impact on the Baiyun Sect?"
Although Elder Ming said that he would protect Lu Yi and that he would be going on a long journey, Elder Ming wanted to follow him, but the situation was unusual now and Lu Yi was still a little worried about the sect.
Even if Elder Ming didn't follow, he now had many means at his disposal and wouldn't be in any danger.
Elder Ming chuckled and said indifferently: "No, we in the Baiyun Sect still have a trump card. Besides, the war is stable now, and there will be no major changes."
Seeing that Master Ming said so, Lu Yi naturally nodded without saying anything.
"Let's go."
A group of three people turned into streams of light and flew out of the sect.
They did not take any flying magic weapon and traveled very low-key to avoid attracting attention.
After all, the sect war is very fierce now. Naturally, there are spies from the four sects of the Blood Spirit Sect watching outside the Baiyun Sect. Even inside, there may be traitors.
As an immortal, if Lu Yi were to be noticed, he would probably be ambushed by powerful men from the four sects.
The three of them moved very quickly, turning into rainbow light and soon flew out of the Baiyun Sect mountain range.
After a while, Lu Yi suddenly felt that the scenery in front of him looked familiar.
Soon, he found out where he was.
Lu Yi had been here before when he was on a mission with Jiang Fan and Bai Yulong. This place was within the borders of Mohe State.
Looking from afar, Lu Yi saw many mortals in ragged clothes, moving forward with difficulty. Further away, Lu Yi saw the capital of Mohe Kingdom.
The once prosperous capital now looked much more desolate. One side of the originally solid city wall had collapsed, and the other three sides also had many signs of damage.
Lu Yi frowned and asked in confusion: "What happened here?"
Liu Ningshuang took a look and said softly, "Some time ago, a spy from the Sky Snake Sect was investigating near the sect. He was discovered by the sect's strong men and was chased here. The two sides fought a fierce battle, and the aftermath spread to the capital of Mohe State."
Hearing this, Lu Yi was speechless for a moment.
Elder Ming had a calm expression. He had lived for nearly ten thousand years and had witnessed many dynasties changing. He had even experienced several major wars in the world of immortals and had long seen through everything.
He looked at the ragged mortals and said, "The monks fought each other, and countless monks died and were injured, but the mortal world was not immune. There are many dynasties in the territories of the major sects. When the territories change, the dynasties will also attack the nearby hostile dynasties, and there will even be chaos within. It's really like people are like grass, and there are dry bones everywhere."
Lu Yi felt a little complicated, and sighed: "When gods fight, mortals suffer."
He casually pointed his finger, and the natural scene flowed. Suddenly, sprouts appeared in the barren desert. The sprouts grew and soon became big trees.
Those were peach trees, full of ripe peaches.
The refugees who were walking were stunned when they saw this.
After a panic, they all looked up at the sky at the same time. After seeing Lu Yi and the other two, they quickly knelt down to express their gratitude and shouted continuously.
"Thank you, Immortal Master!"
"Thank you, Master!"
“…”
Lu Yi said softly: "Let's go eat something."
There is chaos everywhere now, and these are all he can do, to help whoever he sees to the best of his ability.
The refugees rushed towards the peach forest.
Elder Ming and Liu Ningshuang were both stunned when they saw Lu Yi create a peach forest with just a wave of his finger.
Elder Ming was shocked and said, "This is... the way of nature?! Boy Lu, you... have realized the artistic conception of nature?!"
Liu Ningshuang, who was standing beside her, also had a look of surprise on her pretty face: "Junior brother, when did you realize the natural state of mind?"
Lu Yi smiled embarrassedly: "Yun Xi is a spirit of thousands of flowers, and she is well versed in the ways of nature. After studying with her, I felt something, and I unknowingly comprehended the artistic conception of nature."
Elder Ming and Liu Ningshuang were both speechless.
After a moment of silence, Elder Ming said speechlessly: "You kid... are really a monster."
There was a gleam in Liu Ningshuang's cold eyes, and she sighed softly, "Junior Brother Lu is truly an immortal."
Lu Yi smiled helplessly: "Let's go quickly."
The two nodded, and then the three of them continued to transform into streams of light and headed off into the distance.
Along the way, Lu Yi saw a lot of suffering.
We saw people not picking up the dead bones on the roadside, people exchanging their children for food, etc.
There was a great war in the world of immortals, and the lives of mortals were extremely miserable.
Lu Yi was touched, but he did not have enough power to quell the chaos in Qingzhou, so he could only help to the best of his ability.
Soon, they passed through the territory of Baiyun Sect and arrived at the Wanhua Sect area.
Lu Yi and the other two did not inform the monks from the Wanhua Sect and acted in a low profile. They even rarely entered cities, so as not to attract the attention of the strong men from the four sects of the Blood Spirit Sect.
A few days later, they passed through the territory of Wanhua Sect, and the expressions of the three men became serious.
Elder Ming said, "From here on, it is the territory of the Heavenly Snake Sect. We should be careful to avoid being discovered by the Heavenly Snake Sect monks."
Lu Yi and Liu Ningshuang both nodded.
Although the Tianshe Sect does not have Dongxu monks, their alliance does, and it would still be dangerous if they were discovered.
The three of them were more careful as they traveled through the deserted mountains.
Two days later, Lu Yi and the other two were resting beside a mountain stream.
Lu Yi was grilling the meat, which was golden brown, dripping with fat and exuding a rich aroma.
Elder Ming beside him couldn't help swallowing his saliva, drank a mouthful of Jade Wine happily, and praised: "Lu boy, your cooking skills are getting better and better. I'm afraid that after some time, even Yulan will not be as good as you."
Lu Yi chuckled and said, "Ming Lao, you are too kind. The master of Yulan Peak has reached the pinnacle of spiritual food cooking and spiritual wine brewing. I am still far behind."
After all, to be honest, Lu Yi even had difficulty processing spiritual food for the Nascent Soul Realm, let alone the spiritual food for the God Transformation Realm, even if he had a recipe now.
Elder Ming chuckled and said, "It is just that very few people can taste your cooking skills. If that girl Yulan knew that you have such a talent, Ling Luofeng would be in trouble with her."
Lu Yi smiled helplessly: "Mr. Ming, you are exaggerating too much."
Liu Ningshuang beside her took a sip of wine and said nothing.
At this moment, a long laugh sounded: "Old Ming, you came to our territory, why didn't you say hello to us?"
Afterwards, an extremely terrifying aura emerged. Under the spiritual pressure, the surrounding mountains were dead silent, and even the chirping of insects stopped.
