Chapter 117: Understanding Sword Skills, Green Lotus Sword Technique
The Moonlight Sword Intention, this is what Shangguan Yunmeng naturally understood after practicing the "Moonlight Sword Skills" learned from the fairy sister in the dream to a deep level.
In fact, Shangguan Yunmeng didn’t know what sword intent was at first.
Because she was just following the Fairy Sister's instructions.
Then, as she continued to study, she finally mastered the Mingyue Sword Intent.
If it weren’t for Yuxushan instilling in her the concept of sword intent later.
She couldn't tell and thought she had only done something insignificant.
After all, in her opinion, the "Sword Technique Under the Moon" is more like a sword dance than a sword technique.
When she first learned this, she didn't think about learning sword.
I just learn this as a dance.
Perhaps it was because of her pure and innocent nature.
Instead, it allowed her to make rapid progress when she learned the Moonlight Sword Technique.
On the Taoist platform, Shangguan Yunmeng displayed his sword intent.
The day and night were reversed, and the beautiful night scene with the bright moon hanging high in the sky appeared before everyone's eyes.
For some reason, when the full moon appeared, there was nothing else in everyone's eyes except it.
It was as if I was trapped in some kind of illusion.
The people who were more than 20 meters away from the Taotai felt this way, and Yi Hanqing on the Taotai felt it even more deeply.
The peach blossoms around Yi Hanqing seemed to be suppressed by the moonlight.
Not only were the petals covered with crystal dewdrops, but Yi Hanqing himself also felt an inexplicable chill.
Yi Hanqing was very clear that the coldness he felt at the moment was not because the surroundings had really become colder.
But it was because he was influenced by Shangguan Yunmeng's sword intent.
At this moment, the full moon was hanging in the sky above his head.
It's a feeling that can make people feel cold all over.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, Yi Hanqing knew that his Peach Blossom Sword Intent was suppressed by Shangguan Yunmeng's Bright Moon Sword Intent.
However, this not only did not make him feel frustrated, but instead he looked excited.
After all, he is more eager for a worthy opponent than a crushing victory!
Because only in this way can his swordsmanship improve!
Thinking of this, Yi Hanqing smiled, then raised the wine gourd in his hand and drank it in one gulp.
The next second, the peach blossoms around him moved without wind.
A breath of spring began to spread around him, offsetting the chill brought by Shangguan Yunmeng's bright moon sword intent.
At the same time, the ground on the platform, which was originally covered with ice crystals, began to melt slowly, giving a feeling of spring returning to the earth.
"suspect?"
Shangguan Yunmeng looked at the ground where flowers were blooming and glanced at Yi Hanqing in surprise.
Then she thought of something and raised her hand.
Not long after, a special ancient and white spiritual sword immediately appeared in her hand.
Looking at Shangguan Yunmeng holding the Xubai Ling Sword, the surrounding Qingyun Sect disciples did not react.
But the elders of Qingyun Sect were standing on the clouds watching this discussion.
However, they all looked at Yuxu Mountain's leader, the Nascent Soul cultivator Luo Anshan, in surprise.
In the crowd, Jing Gong couldn't help but say, "Fellow Daoist Luo, you from Yuxu Mountain actually gave the Yuxu Sword to this girl. Are you planning to train her as the next generation of the headmaster?"
Hearing Jing Gong's words, Luo Anshan smiled and said, "She is truly an immortal. If she can really become the headmaster of our sect... then it will be a blessing for our sect."
Jing Gong was stunned, because he didn't expect Luo Anshan to have such a high opinion of Shangguan Yunmeng.
You have to know that the four words "true immortal's appearance" are not something that can be said casually.
Throughout history, there are only a few people who are worthy of these four words.
Among them were the six ancient geniuses who had inherited the true immortal heritage.
And what Luo Anshan said now undoubtedly put Shangguan Yunmeng in the same position as those six people.
I feel that Shangguan Yunmeng’s future achievements will at least be on par with those six people.
But... is this girl really that powerful? Jing Gong remained skeptical.
Because throughout history, there have not been many people who can master the sword intent during the Qi training period.
But looking back over tens of thousands of years in Zhongzhou, there have been quite a few of them.
Some of these people are gifted, and some are just lucky.
However, mastering the sword intent during the Qi training period does not mean that you will be able to enter the Hedao realm or Huadao realm in the future.
After all, in the history of Zhongzhou, there have been many cases where people entered the realm of Taoism during the Qi training period, but ended up being indistinguishable from the crowd.
Therefore, Jing Gong felt that Shangguan Yunmeng could be called "a true immortal" by Luo Anshan.
It’s definitely not just because she mastered the sword intent during the Qi training period.
There must be some other reason.
Jing Gong was very curious about what the other reason was.
So he looked at Shangguan Yunmeng on the platform seriously, wanting to see how she would break Yi Hanqing's peach blossom sword power that had incorporated some of the 'spring spirit'.
That’s right, Yi Hanqing’s Peach Blossom Sword Intent at this time is no longer a simple kind of sword intent.
Instead, he has already begun to move towards the Hedao realm.
However, his current fusion of sword intent is still relatively superficial, and it is a very simple fusion.
It is still a long way from the true Dao.
But even so, this kind of fusion of sword intent is not something that ordinary people can match.
Especially for Shangguan Yunmeng, who is still in the Qi training stage.
If she didn't use some special methods, then in this debate... she would definitely lose.
Shangguan Yunmeng's response was to take the Yuxu sword in his hand and start dancing with the sword.
Under the hazy moonlight, Shangguan Yunmeng looked like the Guanghan Fairy who walked out of a painting.
Using the moon as her dress and the sword as her dance, it makes people intoxicated.
And as she danced, the originally calm moon hanging in the sky also underwent some changes.
I saw a figure whose face seemed to have appeared on the full moon.
What’s even more surprising is that what Fairy on the Moon did... was exactly the same as what Shangguan Yunmeng did under the Moon.
Not long after, Yi Hanqing's Peach Blossom Sword Intent, which had originally suppressed Shangguan Yunmeng's 'Bright Moon Sword Intent', actually showed signs of collapsing.
Because just after Shangguan Yunmeng began to dance, the originally empty platform was replaced by a calm surface of water.
The huge full moon was reflected on the calm lake, forming a beautiful yet dangerous double moon scene.
However, Shangguan Yunmeng seemed to be immersed in some kind of perception, dancing on the moon without paying any attention to the changes around her.
Faced with such beautiful scenery, most of the monks from Yuxu Mountain and Qingyun Sect were attracted by the charming scenery, with misty eyes.
However, among these disciples, some of them were not immersed in the beauty of "beautiful woman dancing under the moon", but instead looked serious.
Without exception, these people have mastered the realm of Tao.
Because only they understood how shocking what was happening to Shangguan Yunmeng at this moment was.
King Wu Miao looked at Shangguan Yunmeng's increasingly smooth dance and said seriously, "Double sword intent, is this girl really only in the Qi training stage? She has almost stepped half a foot into the Hedao realm!"
"If she can go one step further, wouldn't she have to master the art of harmony in the Qi training stage?"
"No, was this girl so powerful back then?"
The elders of Qingyun Sect in the clouds also discovered this.
The pupils of a Jindan-stage elder from Cangjian Peak constricted, and the goatee on his chin even stood up.
"Half a step to the Dao, how did this child cultivate? Is she really not the reincarnation of an immortal?!"
Another Qingyun Sect elder at the Jindan stage also said in a complicated tone: "To be able to achieve such an accomplishment at the Qi training stage, it's no exaggeration to say that he is a true immortal."
"And this sword intent is secondary. Don't you realize that this child has the legendary Immortal Body?"
The Jindan-stage elders around were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Shangguan Yunmeng's bones carefully.
This sight almost shocked them to the point of them falling off the clouds.
"She has a body of ice crystal jade, and her aura is like that of orchid. She is spotless and flawless. This child actually has a pure immortal body!"
"Doesn't this mean that as long as she builds her foundation, she will at best be a third-grade Heavenly Dao figure? If she's lucky, she might even be able to achieve a first-grade Dao Immortal Foundation!"
"I don't even dare to imagine what kind of innate magical power she will awaken by then."
Hearing this, Jing Gong also had a complicated expression and said, "Third-grade Heavenly Dao foundation building can gain the blessing of Heavenly Dao. Not only will your potential be further improved, but if you have already awakened your innate magical power, then this innate magical power can be further improved."
"And the higher the level of the Heavenly Dao Foundation, the stronger the blessing effect obtained."
"Among the six people who had the appearance of a true immortal, two of them were first-grade great Dao immortals."
"One person has obtained a supreme immortal body, and his cultivation, physique, and magic power are far superior to ordinary people of the same level."
"One person obtains the Heavenly Dao Jade Bone, and can perform the Dao method across levels at a very low cost."
"From this we can also see the horror of the first-grade Dao Immortal Base."
"No wonder, no wonder you guys at Yuxu Mountain want to give the Yuxu Sword to her. Everything is really as you said. If we can let her become the headmaster of your Yuxu Mountain, it will not be a blessing for her, but a blessing for your Yuxu Mountain!"
But Jing Gong said to Luo Anshan, a Yuanying stage cultivator from Yuxu Mountain beside him, in a complicated tone: "It's just that immortals have three tribulations. Are you from Yuxu Mountain really sure that you can survive those three tribulations with her?"
Hearing this, the smile on Luo Anshan's face gradually disappeared, and then he looked at Shangguan Yunmeng on the platform with a serious face, and said seriously: "If you can help her survive these three disasters, then my Yuxu Mountain will be able to prosper for another ten thousand years."
"If we can't make it, it's not her fault, but it's our destiny in Yuxu Mountain to have these three disasters."
Jing Gong nodded and said, "I see. It seems that you have thought it through. It was me who said too much."
The three tribulations of an immortal is a saying that has been circulating in the world of immortal cultivation for a long time, but the details are unknown.
But this saying has continued to this day.
It means that every person with the qualities of a true immortal will encounter three disasters in his life that are almost impossible to overcome on his own.
They need others to help them deal with the disaster.
As to whether this statement is correct or not, there is actually no definite conclusion in the world of immortal cultivation.
After all, let alone a true immortal, even an ordinary cultivator’s life cannot be smooth sailing and he will always encounter some life-and-death disasters.
However, compared with the three tribulations of immortals that can almost destroy a sect or a family, the tribulations of ordinary cultivators are really nothing.
Among the six True Immortals who had inherited the True Immortal heritage, even two of them were independent cultivators without any sect or school.
It also brought devastating disasters to the holy places of the sects with which they were friendly.
The only true immortal who died was because the sect he was in at the time was caught in the front line of the battle between good and evil, which led to the destruction of the entire sect.
Although the other five people survived the three calamities of immortals.
However, the foundations of three people were damaged and they remained at the Mahayana stage for the rest of their lives.
Only two people survived the three disasters safely and ascended to the immortal world.
The horror of the three calamities of immortals can be seen.
But risks and opportunities coexist. The sects behind the two true immortals who ascended to the fairyland have gained huge benefits as a result.
One of them is Qingyun Sect.
Because one of those six people back then was the founder of Qingyun Sect... the Immortal Qingyun.
Although Yi Hanqing didn't know so many secrets of the world of immortal cultivation.
But he could also feel the strength of Shangguan Yunmeng's sword intent at this moment.
"The bright moon shines on the clear pond, and the peach blossoms bathe in the spring breeze. My sword power is inferior to theirs...it seems to be more than one level lower."
Yi Hanqing watched the spring peach blossoms around him being eroded by the cold moonlight, and realized that he could not go on like this.
He put down the wine jug in his hand, and a green spirit sword fell into his hand.
"rise!"
Under Yi Hanqing's control, the peach blossoms around him began to gather, and in a very short time formed a peach blossom tide, crushing towards Shangguan Yunmeng.
The pink peach blossoms are wrapped in the spring breeze. Beneath the seemingly gentle scenery, there is hidden danger.
Because each peach blossom is equivalent to a flying sword, and anyone who touches it will die.
In response to this, Shangguan Yunmeng, who was originally immersed in her own world, seemed to finally come to her senses.
She looked at the overwhelming tide of peach blossoms and swung her sword.
The next second, a sword energy as bright as moonlight broke through the waves.
If you look closely, you will even find that the sword energy is like a silver-white crescent moon.
As the silver crescent moon meets Yi Hanqing's peach blossom tide.
The silver crescent moon immediately broke through the tide of peach blossoms in the sky like a hot knife through butter.
Afterwards, the silver-white crescent moon, with its remaining power, violently slashed across Yi Hanqing's body.
Snap! When a sound similar to breaking glass sounded, the sword intent around Yi Hanqing immediately dissipated.
He even took three steps back before finally stopping.
The disciples of Qingyun Sect and Yuxu Mountain who were around also woke up from their dreams at this moment, and looked at the two people on the platform with dazed eyes.
It was as if they didn't quite understand what had just happened.
Looking at Shangguan Yunmeng, who had put away his sword and had a calm expression.
Yi Hanqing smiled bitterly and said, "...I lost."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Because even the people in Yuxu Mountain did not expect that Shangguan Yunmeng would actually beat Yi Hanqing, the current chief of Qingyun Sect's Cangjian Peak, in a pure sword competition.
What is this? This is a big win! Because Yi Hanqing has completed the foundation building stage, Shangguan Yunmeng has only completed the Qi training stage.
The difference in cultivation between the two sides is not a little bit.
Although they also knew that if it were a real fight, Yi Hanqing would definitely be able to defeat Shangguan Yunmeng easily.
But discussing the Tao is not a battle of wits.
Because discussing the Dao does not involve comparing the cultivation levels of both parties!
Win, win so much! The Yuxu Mountain monks shouted excitedly, and some of the Yuxu Mountain monks with eccentric personalities even bared their teeth at the Qingyun Sect monks not far away, showing their full anger.
Faced with the close-range attack of the Yuxu Mountain monks, the Qingyun Sect monks could only choose to lower their heads and act like ostriches.
There was no way out. Even Yi Hanqing, who they were sure to win, lost.
They really lost all their face and dignity in this discussion.
Unlike the dejected disciples of Qingyun Sect, Yi Hanqing himself was very free and easy.
Because just as he had said to Xue Youqing of Wanfu Peak before, when it comes to Taoism, it is normal to have wins and losses, so don't take it too seriously.
After all, the point of discussing Taoism is not winning or losing, but whether you can gain something.
Although he lost to Shangguan Yunmeng in this discussion.
But he felt that he had gained a lot.
Not only did he discover many weaknesses in his Peach Blossom Sword Intent and Spring Breeze Sword Intent.
I also vaguely found the direction to perfectly integrate these two sword intentions.
Knowing the direction and being able to do it are two completely different things.
But Yi Hanqing still felt that this discussion was very valuable to him.
Thinking of this, he did not care about Shangguan Yunmeng's junior status, and said sincerely: "Thank you for your guidance, Brother Shangguan. I have benefited a lot from this."
"ah?"
Shangguan Yunmeng looked at Yi Hanqing blankly, as if she didn't understand what he had gained.
I was clearly just following the movements of the fairy sister in my dream and performing the Moonlight Sword Dance.
Yi Hanqing was able to gain something from it, could it be the sword dance?
He also wants to learn sword dance?! Thinking of this, Shangguan Yunmeng couldn't help but think of the scene of Yi Hanqing wearing cloud clothes and dancing with a sword.
As soon as this scene appeared, she couldn't help but gasp.
Then she quickly shook her head, trying to get rid of this awkward picture from her mind.
After all, that scene... is too weird!
Perhaps because of the resistance to the image in her mind, Shangguan Yunmeng looked at the polite Yi Hanqing not far away, and subconsciously took half a step back, moving a little further away from him.
Because she was afraid that Yi Hanqing would ask her to teach him the sword dance the next second.
Given her character of not being good at rejecting others, she really wouldn't know what to say when the time comes.
She didn't want the weird scene in her mind to become reality.
Yi Hanqing didn't think much about it when he saw her action.
Because at this time he was already immersed in his own world, constantly replaying the scene of the discussion just now, and walked down the stage with his head down.
Soon, Shangguan Yunmeng was the only one left on the huge platform.
Shangguan Yunmeng waited on the stage for a while, and when she found that no one had come up yet, she turned around and looked in the direction of Li Xueke behind her.
Li Xueke immediately understood that this was her junior sister asking her if she could go down.
After all, Shangguan Yunmeng's somewhat reserved personality made her difficult to adapt to such public scenes and she seemed very nervous.
Not long after, just when Li Xueke was about to let Shangguan Yunmeng come down, a man walked up to the platform.
"I wonder, is it you?"
Looking at Lu Chen who appeared on the platform, Shangguan Yunmeng immediately showed curiosity.
She didn't expect Lu Chen to come out at this time.
You know, she thought she had some friendship with Lu Chen, as he was the first friend she met in Qingyun Sect.
So she actually didn't really want to discuss Taoism with Lu Chen.
Because she was afraid that she would hurt him accidentally.
After all, no matter how confused Shangguan Yunmeng is, it is only about some common sense in life.
This was caused by her being locked up in the palace for many years.
But in other aspects, Shangguan Yunmeng seemed much more normal.
For example, in terms of cultivation, and also in terms of sword intent.
If possible, she didn't want to hurt her friends.
In response, Lu Chen said seriously: "I am Lu Chen, an inner sect disciple of Danyang Peak. Please give me some advice, fellow Taoist."
"ah?!"
I heard that Lu Chen wanted to have a real fight with me.
Shangguan Yunmeng immediately showed a bitter face.
Somewhat reluctantly.
But now that things have come to this, she seems to have no choice.
So she looked at Lu Chen, frowned, and said seriously: "Okay, okay, then I will try my best not to hurt you."
As he spoke, Shangguan Yunmeng unfolded his sword intent.
In response to this, Lu Chen not only did not rush to display his sword intent, but instead looked at it again.
The lotus-shaped pupil began to rotate continuously, as if recording something.
The reason why he was not in a hurry to show his sword intent was related to the skills he had learned when he watched Shangguan Yunmeng and Yi Hanqing's sword intent competition.
The main theme of Yi Hanqing's sword is peach blossom, supplemented by spring breeze.
The main theme of Shangguan Yunmeng's sword intention is the bright moon, supplemented by the clear pond.
While observing, Lu Chen not only gained insights from them, but also combined his own situation to comprehend a new skill.
[You watched a sword competition, you gained some insights from it, and you learned a skill... Green Lotus Sword Technique]
