Chapter 584: Fairy of Lijiang River

Shen Ping did not answer, but asked, "I wonder what plans Palace Master Yan wants me to make?"

Palace Master Yan said calmly, "This Palace Master naturally hopes that the Marquis of Zhenbei can stay in my Lijiang Academy for a while."

"In a while, there will be a grand sword exchange event between my Lijiang Academy and Wenjian Tower. By then, all the swordsmen in the world will come to Lijiang Academy. Even Emperor Mountain, Tianyin Temple, and Haiyue Cliff will send envoys to participate. I believe that the Marquis of Zhenbei should be interested in such a grand event."

Hearing this.

Shen Ping shook his head, "If it's just a kendo exchange event, I don't have much interest in it."

Palace Master Yan glanced at Shen Ping and saw that he was indeed not interested in this matter. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Does the Marquis of Zhenbei know why the Emperor sent the foreign woman to my Lijiang Academy and asked the Marquis of Zhenbei to come here in person?"

Regarding this.

Shen Ping was indeed very curious, "Please enlighten me, Palace Master Yan."

"Zhenbei Hou, please follow me."

Speaking of.

Palace Master Yan turned and left.

Shen Ping followed closely behind.

The two of them quickly leaped into the air and turned into two streams of light, landing one after the other on the top of the highest mountain of the Lijiang Academy. This mountain was also the place where Shen Ping had watched the most intense sword intent gather before.

Came to an ancient house.

Palace Master Yan pushed it away.

There are many wooden tablets placed in the house, which seem to be tablets for commemorating the deceased.

"The tablets on these tablets are the successive palace masters of my Lijiang Academy."

Palace Master Yan bowed towards the tablet.

Shen Ping was confused and had no idea why the deputy palace master brought him to such a place.

Rumble.

At this time, Palace Master Yan opened a secret room in the house.

This made Shen Ping even more confused.

Is it appropriate for an outsider like him to come to such a confidential place?

The furnishings in the dark room are simple.

There were only a few paintings hanging on the walls.

The painting is a landscape scene.

At first glance, he didn't feel anything, but when Shen Ping looked at it a few more times, his true soul power was suddenly pulled into these paintings. He saw the surging mountains and rivers rolling up layers of waves, and the mountains seemed to come alive and pressed straight towards Shen Ping.

But he just stood there and did nothing.

When the mountains and waters were all covered and submerged, it suddenly changed into the scenery of another painting, with steep cliffs, howling mountain winds, and bursts of sharp breath like the sky. Not long after, it changed again, and there were a total of five paintings.

Until all the paintings are finished.

It took his true soul power to break free.

Palace Master Yan beside him smiled and said, "What does the Zhenbei Marquis think of these paintings?"

Shen Ping said seriously, "Every painting seems to contain a kind of sword meaning. This sword meaning is endless, containing all things and evolving into thousands of things."

As he spoke, he was extremely shocked.

What a state of mind he has.

He even entered the realm of kendo.

Although these paintings were not dangerous and were purely about swordsmanship, he was drawn into them. It was obvious that the person who painted these landscapes surpassed him in the realm of swordsmanship.

Originally he believed that kendo was superior to all other sword arts.

But now I no longer think so. Each sword intent has its own unique features, and the so-called sword path itself is the gathering of infinite sword intents. Even if it is just one sword intent, when it is taken to the extreme, it is still the sword path.

To put it simply.

There is no distinction between high and low in sword intent.

Whether it is the Piaoxue Sword Intent, the Shuihuo Sword Intent, the Mountain Sword, or even the Affectionate Sword and the Ruthless Sword, they are all the same, pursuing the ultimate realm of the sword.

There is always someone better than you.

Shen Ping put away his contempt and disdain.

Palace Master Yan said, "The Marquis of Zhenbei can comprehend the essence of swordsmanship through these paintings. He is truly gifted. To be honest, His Majesty the Emperor asked you to come to the Lijiang Academy for these paintings."

"Except for Emperor Mountain, the other four major forces in the world have a long history, and each force has several paintings, some more and some less. Among them, my Lijiang Academy has the most paintings."

"But Emperor Mountain is the fifth largest force since the establishment of Yuhua Divine Dynasty, so they really want to get these paintings."

At this point, she looked at Shen Ping and continued, "The one who left these paintings was the legendary Ninth Realm expert. It is said that whoever can comprehend the secrets of swordsmanship from the paintings can follow in the footsteps of this expert, break through the Ninth Realm, and become a legend."

"Every once in a while, the four major forces would exchange ideas with each other, and what they would fight for were these paintings. Our Lijiang Academy never keeps anything to itself. As long as there is a talent for swordsmanship, we would bring them here to view the paintings. It's a pity that over the years, including successive palace masters, no one has been able to comprehend anything from the paintings."

Shen Ping suddenly realized, "So, Palace Master Yan wants me to give it a try and see if I can understand something?"

Palace Master Yan nodded, "The way of swordsmanship is about communication and learning. Although I despise the ruthless swordsmanship, the ruthless swordsmanship also has its own unique features. Only by making progress together can we pursue the ultimate swordsmanship."

These words made Shen Ping stand in awe.

"Okay, I'll stay for a while."

He did develop an interest in these paintings, and there were not many things nowadays that could make him feel inferior.

The two left the dark room.

Palace Master Yan said again, "Marquis Zhenbei, please take those foreign women out of the academy and arrange for them to live in Lijiang City. As for here, you can come and watch at any time."

As she spoke, she handed Shen Ping the key to the dark room.

Shen Ping couldn't help but wonder, "Palace Master Yan, aren't you afraid that I will take those paintings away and give them to His Majesty the Emperor?"

Palace Master Yan laughed, "Those paintings are actually not important. What's important is the inheritance of sword spirit."

Wait for them to leave.

It took Shen Ping a long while to come back to his senses.

All right.

Those paintings really don't matter.

The entire mountain range is filled with the power of swords, and there is even a special condensation of sword intent. If those paintings are taken away, I am afraid that the effect will be lost.

No wonder Palace Master Yan wasn't afraid at all.

Return to Kefeng.

He immediately took the ten foreign women and left the Lijiang Academy and came to Lijiang City.

"Could it be that those paintings are the secrets of the world of the giant red palace?

Shen Ping couldn't help but think about it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. After all, this is a palace world. Even if there are really brilliant people, they will inevitably be restricted by the world.

But soon he shook his head again.

What if there is a genius in swordsmanship with extraordinary talent? I can't really underestimate him.

"The prince of the West Sea wants to see the Fairy Lijiang!"

Stayed for five days.

Shen Ping happened to encounter the excitement. There were eight kings in the entire Yuhua Divine Dynasty, namely King of Dongchang, King of Langya, King of Nanchu, King of Xihai, King of Zhonghuai... and other kings and princes. They were all members of the royal family. For example, King of Dongchang had different political views with Marquis Zhenbei, and they almost fought in the imperial capital over some trivial matters.

The prince of the West Sea King is an out-and-out playboy, but because of his bloodline, he has good talent. Now he is already a sixth-mirror warrior, and he is only one step away from entering the realm of immortals on earth. Therefore, he is very much loved by the King of the West Sea.

It is said that this is the fifth time that he has sought to see the Lijiang Fairy, but unfortunately the Lijiang Fairy has never shown up.

Arrived at Wangjiang Tower.

You can stand on the fifth floor and see the entire meeting scenery. At this time, you can see huge warships arrayed on the river. In the front, there is a man in a gorgeous robe, who is asking to see the Lijiang Fairy.

There were people all around watching the fun.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Shen Ping asked, "What kind of charm does this Lijiang Fairy have that makes a prince pester her like this?"

Someone glanced at Shen Ping, and that look was like looking at a country bumpkin, "Lijiang Fairy is the most beautiful woman in the world, with a beautiful body like ice and jade, like a fairy descending to the earth. Not to mention a prince, even a prince would be eager to have her."

"Moreover, this Lijiang Fairy is ranked in the top three of the Qiankun Ranking. She is only one step away from reaching the realm of immortals. The West Sea Prince has been asking for an audience several times, which is nothing but a humiliation for himself."

The rest of the spectators echoed.

Shen Ping did not argue with them, but continued to watch the scene in front of him with interest. The entire Lijiang Academy could not escape his perception. As for the Lijiang Fairy, she was indeed stunningly beautiful, but to him, she was just pretty and had some temperament.

Still practicing till now.

He has seen all kinds of beauties.

"If Fairy Lijiang doesn't come out, I will have my warships attack the Lijiang Academy. If there are casualties in the academy, it will be your fault, Fairy!"

have to.

No one else can be so shameless as this.

However, after coming to ask for a meeting again and again, he didn't even see a sleeve. No wonder the Prince of the West Sea came directly with the navy warships this time.

"I have no objection to you, go back."

Threats are still somewhat useful.

The Lijiang fairy replied through the sword intent, and at the same time, the voice condensed into a sword light that separated from the water in front of the warship, stirring up thousands of waves.

Looking at this sword intent.

Shen Ping figured out the meaning of water in the five landscape paintings. Apparently, this Lijiang fairy had also seen those five paintings and comprehended some sword meaning from them.

"Lijiang Fairy, if you don't come out to see me, I will massacre the entire Lijiang Academy!"

The Prince of West Sea shouted at the top of his voice.

whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Suddenly, a large number of academy disciples rushed out and floated above the river. The leader, a man in white, pointed his sword directly at the prince of the West Sea and said in a cold voice: "Your Highness, please be careful with your words. Our Lijiang Academy is the holy place of academies in the world. We have more than a million students. This is not a place for you to do whatever you want!"

"Not to mention you, even if it was your father, the King of the West Sea himself, he wouldn't dare to say such shameless words!"

The Prince of West Sea wanted to lose his temper but was stopped by his subordinates.

Not long after, they drove away in their warships in disgrace, but they did not go too far. The entire Li River is under the control of the West Sea water veins, so it is not considered a violation of regulations for the navy warships to cruise on the surface of the Li River.

Moreover, even if they violated the imperial laws, I am afraid that the emperor would not punish them. At most, he would reprimand them. After all, the emperor would be very happy to see the Lijiang Academy suffer a setback.

"Lijiang Academy is indeed a holy place in the world. This prince of the West Sea doesn't even know who he is and dares to say that he will slaughter all the people in the academy. It's simply ridiculous."

"It is already known that this prince has a mental problem."

"By the way, I heard that the Marquis of Zhenbei is coming to the Lijiang Academy. Do you think he would also like to see the Fairy of Lijiang?"

"Who knows? If it's the Marquis of Zhenbei, I think there's a chance that he'll see the Fairy of Lijiang."

"Marquis Zhenbei guards the Northern Territory. Some time ago, he even killed 100,000 demon soldiers and protected the safety of our Yuhua Divine Dynasty. If he can marry Fairy Lijiang, it will be a wonderful story."

On the navy warship.

The Prince of West Sea was so angry that he gnashed his teeth, but his father's personal guards held him tightly, so he could only retreat. In fact, he knew that it was impossible for him to really attack the Lijiang Academy, and he said those words just because he wanted to see the Lijiang Fairy.

Hearing the discussion on the river bank, he could not help but get angry. "He is a Zhenbei Marquis, but he is nothing. I am the King of the West Sea, and I am also responsible for guarding the borders. I have made the Western Regions dare not step into my territory. Humph, he just killed 100,000 demon soldiers. What is there to brag about? He even wants to marry the Fairy Lijiang. I haven't even met her yet."

He was still not satisfied, "Go, seal off the surface of the Li River. If you see the Zhenbei Marquis, report it immediately. I want to see if the Zhenbei Marquis has three heads and six arms!"

The guard beside him couldn't help but whispered, "Prince, don't be angry. The Marquis of Zhenbei is a land immortal. It is a fact that he killed 100,000 demon soldiers. Don't be reckless. The Fairy Lijiang doesn't show any favor to anyone. I believe she is the same to the Marquis of Zhenbei."

Shen Ping didn't know that the Prince of West Sea held a grudge against him, but even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart.

Now I return to the house I bought in the city.

Ten beautiful foreign ladies immediately served tea and water, and then danced to liven up the atmosphere.

Leaning back on the recliner.

He ate fruits, drank wine and enjoyed foreign dances.

The cool exotic clothing has a unique flavor.

Especially the twisting of the willow-like waist makes people's blood boil.

Next, he went to the dark room on the highest peak of the Lijiang Academy every day to admire the landscape paintings. After only one month, he comprehended the three major sword techniques: the Water-Dividing Sword, the Mysterious Wood Sword, and the Fire-Lining Sword.

The three major sword techniques are mainly sword intent condensed from the three great principles of heaven and earth: water, fire and wood.

Shen Ping himself had a deep understanding in this area. When he first entered the sword path, it was because of the ability to learn by analogy. Now, when he comprehended these great principles of heaven and earth from the sword intent, he felt like he was revisiting the past to learn new things.

But he knew clearly that these three sword intents should only be the superficial essence of swordsmanship in the landscape paintings. The other two paintings were also interpretations of the great Dao of heaven and earth, but there was a gap in the middle and they were not continuous. He guessed that the other paintings following water, wood, and fire were in the three major forces of Wenjian Tower, Tianyin Temple, and Haiyue Cliff.

If you want to comprehend the true essence of swordsmanship in the paintings, you must gather all the paintings, or comprehend the swordsmanship in each one.

"Lijiang Fairy has met the Marquis of Zhenbei."

Just walked out of the dark room.

I saw the Lijiang Fairy wearing a white veil coming towards me.

Shen Ping was not surprised at all. His true soul power had already sensed it, "Did the fairy come here specially to wait for me?"

Fairy Lijiang bowed and said, "I heard that the Marquis of Zhenbei is proficient in swordsmanship. I am not talented, but I would like to learn swordsmanship from him. Do you have time?"

Shen Ping looked at the stunningly beautiful Fairy from the Li River. He could indeed sense a kind of continuous and gentle sword intent from her, and it was much more mellow than before. It was obvious that she had made some progress in her comprehension, but was still a little short of the mark, so she wanted to compete with him.

"Fairy, what do you think of the five paintings in the dark room?"
