Chapter 513 The Purpose of Comprehending the Way of the Sword
"Your sword moves are so powerful, so you must have a preliminary understanding of the way of the sword. If you want to better understand and comprehend the way of the sword, you must understand the essence of the way of the sword."
"The so-called sword way is the great principles contained in the sword."
"As for the truth contained in the sword, we will talk about it later."
"Have you ever thought about why your spiritual root is called the sword spiritual root? Since you have a sword spiritual root, do you have a knife spiritual root, a gun spiritual root, a stick spiritual root, or simply put, do you have a weapon spiritual root?"
Lu Yang shook his head. He had never really thought about this question. He just felt that practicing sword skills was easy, as if he was born with a knack for swords.
"The sword spirit root mutated from the gold spirit root. The characteristics of the gold spirit root are that it controls minerals and is extremely aggressive. The sword spirit root abandons the characteristic of controlling minerals and mutates its aggressiveness to the extreme."
"The so-called sword spirit root does not mean that you are born with a affinity for swords, but that you have mastered the most powerful means of attack, and the most powerful means of attack is a weapon, and the best carrier of weapons is a sword."
"Only by using a sword can the characteristics of the spiritual root be brought into full play."
Lu Yang was a little confused: "But when I cast a spell, the power is almost the same as when I use a sword."
If the sword spirit root can bring its aggressiveness to its full potential, then the sword art should be the most powerful.
Taoist Bu Yu looked at Lu Yang's puzzled expression and pondered for a moment: "This is in line with an old saying."
"What old saying?"
“Genius is unreasonable.”
“Experience is summed up by predecessors, but predecessors have not seen everything. For example, predecessors have never seen you.”
"And to say that the sword spirit root is the strongest is not entirely true. Look at the four ancient immortals, which one used a sword? If the sword spirit root is the strongest, why didn't anyone become an immortal?"
Lu Yang thought that there was actually a possibility of becoming an immortal, but he used the unity of man and sword too well and killed himself on the way to becoming an immortal.
During the Tribulation Period, he was called a "strong enemy" by the Immortal Fairy, which shows how powerful the opponent is.
The last person the fairy called a strong enemy was a peerless genius who had turned his words into a passive skill.
It’s not that there are no immortals who use swords. The Qilin Immortal often uses swords. Lu Yang’s Mingyue Sword was reshaped from the Qilin Immortal’s sword.
"To comprehend the Way of the Sword, one must have a clear purpose. Xiaoyang, let me ask you, what is your purpose in comprehending the Way of the Sword?"
When asked this question, Lu Yang was silent for a long time. Since he started practicing and using sword, he had never thought about what his purpose was.
He just went with the flow and practiced aimlessly.
He slowly closed his eyes, as if he was in a sea of memories, recalling what had happened since he started practicing: when he first entered the sect, he made many friends. Although they often cheated each other, it was just a joke among friends. When he encountered problems, he asked his senior brothers and sisters for help, and they were all happy to lend a hand and answer his questions. The eldest sister taught him and laid a solid foundation for him. Although the eldest sister was taciturn, Lu Yang could feel her care for him...
Lu Yang opened his eyes, looked directly into the eyes of the silent Taoist, and spoke the answer in his heart with a firm gaze.
"To comprehend the way of the sword is to protect!"
He wants to protect all these beautiful things! Taoist Buyu hit Lu Yang on the head.
"Guardian, who needs you to protect? Is it the master or Xiaoyun?"
Lu Yang: “…”
When he thought about it, he realized that this was indeed the case. Meng Jingzhou and the others were all extraordinary geniuses, and his senior brothers and sisters had unique skills and were even better than himself. Whenever he went out, he relied on his senior brothers and sisters to support him, not to mention his senior sister.
And what about the master? The master’s enemies are no match for him, so he doesn’t need to protect him?
"Thinking about these nonsense all day long, what I just said is all in vain. The sword is the most offensive weapon. The purpose of comprehending the way of the sword is of course to pursue the ultimate attack!"
Lu Yang nodded honestly, admitting that he had overthought.
"Sword cultivation must be pure. The purer the pursuit, the better the comprehension of the sword will be!"
"As the saying goes, one sword can break all laws, which is exactly the way to comprehend the way of swordsmanship!"
"And why is the Breaking Word Technique you used the most powerful among all the Word Techniques? Isn't it because the word Breaking represents the pursuit of the sword way?"
Lu Yang recalled the process of his comprehension of the sword, and it was indeed true. When he was comprehending the sword, he did not think about anything else but how to become stronger by relying on the sword.
Instead, it unexpectedly fits with the way seen through the highest level of comprehension.
Although it was said to be an accident, Lu Yang had actually expected it. This could be seen from the reaction of the Immortal Fairy. When he was comprehending the way of the sword, the Immortal Fairy did not point out his mistakes or correct his way of comprehending. This showed that his behavior was correct.
What Lu Yang didn’t know was that while he was listening attentively to the class, the Immortal Fairy was also listening attentively in the spiritual space, nodding frequently, and gaining a lot.
“So this is what the way of the sword is all about.” The Immortal Fairy suddenly realized that there were very few sword practitioners in ancient times. Apart from the Master Qin Jian, she had never come into contact with other sword practitioners.
The Immortal Fairy felt that it was great that she had a golden finger. Since her resurrection, she had been resting and doing nothing all day. With the help of the golden finger, she could see all kinds of interesting things in the current world of immortal cultivation. The golden finger could not only help her do things, but more importantly, when he got an opportunity, she could also get the opportunity.
It's a win-win situation.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
After receiving guidance from his master, Lu Yang suddenly became enlightened. His previous practice seemed to be shrouded by a veil, but today it was removed by Taoist Buyu, and his mind suddenly became bright.
He sat cross-legged and tried to comprehend the way of the sword according to the teachings of the Taoist Master Bu Yu.
"Pursuing the ultimate attack..."
Taoist Buyu sensed the sword-fighting aura generated by Lu Yang's meditation and nodded slightly. He thought that his little disciple's ability to comprehension the sword-fighting was truly astonishing.
In that case, it's time for me to leave.
He was originally passing by the sect on his way home to visit. His path of cultivation was in the outside world, in the mortal world. Since he had already taught Lu Yang the most essential part of the swordsmanship, this trip could be considered a success.
He swept away the dust and walked out of the sect.
The moment he walked out of the sect, he saw countless marriage proposal teams blocking the mountain gate. When the marriage proposal teams saw Taoist Buyu, strange and excited smiles appeared on their faces.
"The intelligence is correct, this bastard really went back to the Taoist sect!"
"You old thief Bu Yu finally came out!"
The silent Taoist's hair trembled, and then countless attacks came upon him.
"Bodhi Begging Palm!" A huge emerald green palm fell from the sky. It was bigger than a mountain and its weight was immeasurable.
"The Great Method of Disintegrating the Heavenly Demon!" There was a cultivator with black air lingering around his body, his momentum increased dramatically, and he was full of fighting spirit.
"All martial arts are solved!"
"The Creation Formation!"
"Lei Hong!"
Boom—boom—boom—
Various dazzling attacks continued, causing the earth to shake and the space to tremble.
The Taoist Master Bu Yu returned to the sect silently.
He was not in a hurry to go out and practice.
The second update will be at 11 o'clock
