Chapter 190: A cultivator should not be bound by the past
"Sister Qing, what do the immortal sects say?"
"Don't worry, Young Master. We will certainly complete the tasks you have assigned us. We have received the news and will ensure that a Yuanying-stage elder will come during the college entrance examination."
"But there are some things I must say. Even if the Black Lotus Cult really does attack your friend during the college entrance examination, our first priority is to ensure your safety."
"So we will only deal with those remnants of the Black Lotus Sect who 'might' come over when you are not in danger."
Jiang Qing emphasized the word "maybe".
Because up to now, Mu Xiaoye has not produced any evidence that the Black Lotus Sect will definitely appear in the Qingzhou college entrance examination.
In other words, Mu Xiaoye has a special identity.
Otherwise, Wanye Xianmen would not let their Nascent Soul stage elders mobilize so many troops just because of a mere "possibility".
After all, the Immortal Alliance is so large that there are too many possible things.
If every 'possibility' is treated as something that is bound to happen.
The cultivators in the Immortal Alliance no longer need to practice, they can just hurry on their way.
Facing Jiang Qing's somewhat resentful tone, Mu Xiaoye also knew that he had abused his power for personal gain this time.
So Ma Qian immediately took Jiang Qing's arm and said flatteringly: "Oh, I knew that Sister Qing, you are the best."
"Don't worry, when I become the sect leader in the future, you will be the deputy sect leader!"
Looking at Mu Xiaoye who was showing off, Jiang Qing smiled helplessly.
After all, although Jiang Qing looks like she is only in her early thirties, she is actually over a hundred years old.
He is a cultivator of the same generation as Yu Tianqi and others.
The fact that she was able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage at this age was not only because of her outstanding talent.
Also because she came from a famous immortal cultivation family in Lizhou.
Otherwise, do you really think that anyone can be sent to be Mu Xiaoye's protector?
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You've been through enough training during this period, and it's time to consolidate your skills. I'll take you back to Luo City."
"OK."
On the other side, in a dojo in a city in Qingzhou.
"Huh... Senior Jiang, are you sure that classmate Lu's current strength has reached such a terrifying level?"
Bian Shouyi was lying on the ground, thinking back to the sparring session between him and Jiang Dongliu. There were only two words to describe it: despair, complete despair.
Just now, Jiang Dongliu did not use his body-protecting Dan Qi.
But relying on his own golden elixir cultivation, he created a special small domain.
In that small area, there was no room for Bian Shouyi to display his unyielding sword intent, which he was so proud of.
How can you fight if you can’t even attack?
That was why he didn't dare to believe whether Lu Chen, who was only in the Foundation Establishment Stage, could really achieve this level.
You should know that during this period of time he has killed many monsters and demons comparable to those of Foundation Establishment cultivators.
But none of them could reach the height that Jiang Dongliu simulated not long ago.
In response to Bian Shouyi's question, Jiang Dongliu thought for a moment and said, "It will only be stronger than what I show, not weaker."
“Is that so…”
After receiving a positive answer, Bian Shouyi forced himself to stand up from the dojo floor despite his weak body.
Then, in Jiang Dongliu's surprised eyes, Bian Shouyi seemed to have no intention of resting at all, and continued to practice his sword intent.
He was seen standing in an open space in the dojo, swinging his sword over and over again.
Not only was there no trace of frustration in his eyes, but they were even full of fighting spirit.
It seemed as if their previous competition had not had any impact on Bian Shouyi.
After seeing this scene, Jiang Dongliu had to admit that Bian Shouyi was the one with the most steadfast Taoism faith among his peers he had ever met.
The last person with such a firm devotion to Taoism was Wei Heshan from Xuanshui Taoist Academy.
He is also one of the few geniuses recognized by Jiang Dongliu.
If Bian Shouyi could keep practicing with this kind of Tao heart and not die halfway.
His future achievements will definitely not be low.
Thinking of this, Jiang Dongliu suddenly began to look forward to next year's Taoist Academy Competition.
Because next year's Taoist Academy Competition will be the enrollment time for Lu Chen, Mu Xiaoye, Bian Shouyi and other students.
Although the Taoist Academy Competition is generally an event that only sophomore and above Taoist Academy students are eligible to participate in.
Even many students who have studied in the Taoist academy for several years are not selected to participate in the competition.
But there are exceptions to everything.
As long as Bian Shouyi can reach the foundation-building stage, with his own level of sword intent, it should not be a big problem for him to be selected for the Qinghe Taoist Academy's competition list.
As for Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye, there is no need to mention them.
Neither of them can be described as geniuses, but rather as prodigies.
With these two, Lihuo Taoist Academy might be able to break the curse of the top four in next year's competition.
Thinking of this, Jiang Dongliu looked forward to the Taoist Academy Competition in a year even more.
He had a hunch that this competition... would definitely be extraordinary.
Looking at Bian Shouyi who was still practicing sword, Jiang Dongliu said on a whim: "Okay, junior, stop practicing for now and come with me to Luocheng No. 1 Middle School."
Hearing this, Bian Shouyi looked at Jiang Dongliu in confusion.
It seems that they don't understand what they are doing at Los Angeles No. 1 Middle School now.
"Aren't you very curious about Junior Brother Lu's current strength? It just so happens that I also want to spar with Junior Brother Lu, so I can watch from the side and face up to the gap between myself and the top swordsmen of my age."
Hearing this, Bian Shouyi's eyes lit up instantly, then he quickly put away his sword and walked to Jiang Dongliu.
Although he didn't say a word, Jiang Dongliu could see the intense excitement from his expression.
This made Jiang Dongliu unable to help but complain: "No, Xiaobian, I am a little scared of you. You are not interested in drinking with girls, but you get excited when I talk about watching other sword practitioners fencing. You are not planning to be accompanied by swords for the rest of your life, are you?"
Bian Shouyi looked at Jiang Dongliu in confusion and said frankly, "Isn't it good for a sword cultivator to focus on practicing swordsmanship all his life?"
“…”
Jiang Dongliu covered his forehead with his hands, looking as if he had lost all hope in life.
No wonder some people always say that sincerity is the ultimate skill.
If someone else said this, Jiang Dongliu might think they were being mysterious.
But when these words came out of Bian Shou's mouth, they were absolutely true, just one look at Ding Zhen.
But there was nothing wrong with what he said.
It is indeed a good thing for a sword cultivator to focus on practicing sword all his life!
But Jiang Dongliu doesn't want to live like this.
If you can't experience all kinds of life, what's the difference between being alive and being dead? The life of a swordsman shouldn't just be about swords, but also about romance! In terms of personality, Jiang Dongliu and Bian Shouyi are two extremes.
One has a casual personality, the other has a tough personality.
But the strange thing is that these two people have completely different, even opposite personalities.
They get along surprisingly well with each other.
At least Jiang Dongliu still likes his junior Bian Shouyi.
Otherwise, how could he, a young master of the Jiang family, have the mood to be a protector for a junior fellow student?
It's nothing, it's just pleasing to the eye! Jiang Dongliu adjusted his sunglasses, put his arm around Bian Shouyi's shoulders and said, "Yes, yes, you are right, junior brother."
"But I hope you'll say the same thing when you meet a girl you like in the future, instead of saying that a swordsman should always keep his sword company! Hahaha!"
Although Bian Shouyi had a low emotional intelligence, he could also hear that Jiang Dongliu was teasing him at this time.
But he was not angry about it.
Because he could feel that Jiang Dongliu had no ill intentions.
But not being angry doesn't mean that Bian Shouyi won't fight back.
"Senior, if you continue to indulge yourself like this, you may not be able to hold the sword steadily in the future."
The smile on Jiang Dongliu's face froze instantly and finally slowly disappeared.
But according to the law of conservation of smile, the smile will not disappear, it will only transfer from one person's face to another.
For example, Jiang Dongliu couldn't laugh at this time, but Bian Shouyi rarely laughed.
"It's boring. What does a single guy like you know? Just laugh. Sooner or later, there will be a time when you can't laugh anymore."
As he spoke, Jiang Dongliu put his hand on Bian Shouyi's shoulder and walked straight out of the dojo.
Luocheng No. 1 Middle School, in the Tianzi training room.
Because Lu Chen had not shown any talent before, he was not qualified to practice in the Tianzi Training Room of Luocheng No. 1 Middle School.
But during this period of time, Lu Chen fully demonstrated his "talent".
Naturally, Luocheng No. 1 Middle School gave him the green light, whether it was the treasure house of Luocheng No. 1 Middle School or other training resources.
Basically, whatever Lu Chen wants, the school can provide it to him free of charge.
However, at Lu Chen's current level, ordinary magic skills are hardly taken seriously by him.
Only some magical skills with special effects might arouse some interest in him.
But compared to magic and supernatural powers, what Lu Chen cares most about is his own swordsmanship.
However, since the end of the special copy, the Sword Formation Ruins, Lu Chen’s swordsmanship level has not improved for a long time.
Because his four sword intents, the Green Lotus Sword Intention, the Blood Sea Sword Intention, the True Dragon Sword Intention, and the Destroying Law Sword Intention have all reached the state of Hedao.
For Lu Chen at this stage, the Hedao realm seems to be the limit of what he can achieve now.
No matter what he did, he couldn't find a way to break through.
This made Lu Chen feel a little distressed, which was unusual for him.
Transformation into Dao, transformation into Dao, what exactly should he do to achieve the level of transformation into Dao? Is there any special condition that must be met in order to enter the state of transformation into Dao? Lu Chen still hasn't found the answer to this question.
Because he had once asked the leader Gu Liqing in Qingyun Sect.
I want to know what a cultivator should do in order to embark on the path of transformation.
Gu Liqing couldn't explain why.
Because each great master has a different way of achieving enlightenment, there is not much reference value.
However, in response to Lu Chen's question, Gu Liqing still shared his experience as a person who had experienced it.
The method is also very simple, which is to let Lu Chen use more of his Hedao realm sword intent.
It is said that if you read a book a hundred times, its meaning will become clear.
The same is true for kendo in this regard.
As long as you practice more, one day you will find a way to break through the bottleneck.
In this regard, Lu Chen had no choice but to calm down and concentrate on studying his current sword intent.
In the process, he actually gained a lot of experience.
For example, when he unfolded the sword domain before, he must have spread the sword domain out without reservation.
But now he was able to only partially expand the sword domain.
Of course, there are benefits to doing this, which is that it can reduce Lu Chen's consumption of spiritual energy.
When he was dealing with the female ghost in the Ghost Dan period on the pedestrian street, he had deployed a small domain.
The range of the field was limited to five meters between himself and the female ghost.
This is also the reason why Shen Feiyang and others did not see Lu Chen’s sword intent at that time.
All he saw was a female ghost in the Ghost Pill Stage suddenly standing still, and then she was killed by Lu Chen’s sword without any struggle.
However, for Lu Chen, who was used to honing his swordsmanship in battle.
The effect of this closed-door approach is indeed a bit poor.
After all, he still prefers to improve his swordsmanship through battle.
"It would be great if there was a top swordsman who could spar with me. This way, I might be able to find a way to enter the Dao of Transformation more quickly."
Lu Chen sighed, then ended his meditation and stood up.
He picked up his cell phone and looked at the time on it. After confirming that it was almost the time he and Xiao Ye had agreed on, he left the Tianzi training room and walked towards Yu Tianqi's Ping'an Noodle House.
Ping An Noodle House.
"Uncle Tian, hello!"
"I haven't seen you for half a month. Did you miss me?"
Yu Tianqi, who was kneading dough, raised his head and saw the quirky Mu Xiaoye outside the noodle shop.
Seeing her, Yu Tianqi immediately smiled and said, "Xiao Ye, you shouldn't say this to me, but to Xiao Lu, right?"
"ah!"
Being teased by Yu Tianqi like this, Mu Xiaoye immediately rolled her eyes at him.
Then she led Jiang Qing into the noodle shop.
As soon as he entered the noodle shop, Jiang Qing looked up and down at Yu Tianqi, who already looked old, and couldn't help but said, "Tianqi, why haven't you broken through to the Nascent Soul stage yet?"
Hearing this, Yu Tianqi said indifferently: "There is nothing I can do, Sister Qing. I am a bit stupid and have never been able to cross that threshold. I am sorry to disappoint you."
After hearing this answer, Jiang Qing was silent for a moment and then said, "You still can't let go of what happened back then?"
"You are you, and your senior brother is your senior brother. You don't need to keep yourself trapped in the same place because of his affairs."
In response to this, Yu Tianqi did not give a direct answer, but silently kneaded the dough in his hands.
It was obvious that he was avoiding Jiang Qing's words.
If it were someone else, Jiang Qing might not say anything.
But the Yu Tianqi in front of her is a cultivator of the same period as her.
Although the two of them don't say that their relationship is very good, they still know a lot about each other's affairs.
Seeing Yu Tianqi like this, she was somewhat touched.
After all, during Jiang Qing's time, Yu Tianqi and his senior brother Luo Changming were the two most dazzling figures in Shangqing Taoist Palace.
But who could have thought that one of them betrayed his master, degenerated into joining the Black Lotus Sect, and became the current deputy leader of the Black Lotus Sect.
The other one also developed an obsession because of this incident, and has been unable to cross the threshold in his heart, and has stopped at the Golden Elixir stage.
Perhaps because he didn't want to let the former genius fall into such a state, Jiang Qing walked up to him, snatched the dough he was still kneading, and put it aside.
Although from the outside, Yu Tianqi could be Jiang Qing's father or grandfather.
But Yu Tianqi didn't dare to blame Jiang Qing at all.
In terms of age and cultivation, Jiang Qing is actually superior to him.
Jiang Qing looked at Yu Tianqi and said in a rare stern tone: "It is indeed regrettable what happened to your senior brother Luo Changming, but you don't have to take the blame for his mistakes on yourself."
"I know that the reason you have been tracking down the Black Lotus Sect all these years is that you want to persuade your senior brother Luo Changming to come back."
"But everyone must be responsible for their own decisions. From the moment your senior brother Luo Changming decided to join the Black Lotus Sect, he was destined to stand on the opposite side of the Immortal Alliance."
"Not to mention that you are only in the Jindan stage, how can you persuade Luo Changming, who has entered the Daohua realm and has great supernatural powers?"
"Even if you can persuade him, do you think the Immortal Alliance will forgive Luo Changming for what he has done over the years?"
"Although I don't know much about the Black Lotus Cult, I have heard about the evil things they did in the Immortal Alliance several times."
"Based on all of their crimes, if any one of them were taken separately, it would not be excessive to kill the Black Lotus Sect ten times."
"Yu Tianqi, wake up. A cultivator should not be bound by his past, and should not force others' mistakes on himself."
After hearing Jiang Qing's words, Yu Tianqi was silent for a moment, then replied: "Sister Qing, it's not that I can't get over the past, I just want an answer."
"I just want to ask my senior brother why he didn't come back when the master asked him to."
"I also want to ask him what could have made him give up the friendship he had with his fellow disciples for so many years and join the Black Lotus Sect despite everyone's opposition."
"I don't believe that my senior brother is the kind of person who can't see the truth. He must have his own difficulties."
"I just want to know what the hardship is, and I just want to know what this is."
"For this, I can do whatever it takes."
After saying that, Yu Tianqi raised his head and looked at Jiang Qing, his eyes firm as he said, "Answer, after so many years, I... just want an answer, I want my senior brother to tell me why in person."
