"Really?" Han Yi smiled and did not speak.

"So in a battle between you and me, I will definitely do my best, and you will make a decision after you think clearly. ”

Hearing this, Han Yi pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Think clearly, it's just a whetstone, and it's not necessarily who is the whetstone, if you lose, don't cry. ”

Kim grinned.

"Hahaha, okay, no matter what the victory or defeat, I, Jin Wusupreme, recognize you as a friend. ”

"Come, drink. ”

Han Yi took the wine glass handed by Jin Wushang and shook his head. Friend, these two words were too heavy for him to carry at all.

He shook his head and drank the wine from his glass.

Half a month later, Han Yi and Jin Wushang stopped in the depths of a certain mountain and began to train in kendo practice.

Han Yi and Jin Wushang sat opposite each other on two large stones, and the cyan bird rested in the open space behind them.

"Brother Han, do you know what the meaning of the existence of the sword soul is?" Jin Wushang spoke first, asking Han Yi a question.

"The meaning of the existence of the sword soul. Han Yi groaned, he had never thought about this question, for him, what weapon to use was just a personal choice, it just depended on his preferences. Sword cultivators use swords for different reasons, and for Han Yi, it is only because of the time he first came into contact with weapons, so he has persevered until now.

Isn't the meaning of the existence of the sword soul to make the power of the sword cultivator stronger?

"The meaning of the existence of the sword soul should be to enhance our strength. Han Yi said uncertainly.

Jin Wushang shook his head.

"Brother Han, what you said is the purpose of our sword cultivation, but it is not the meaning of the existence of the sword soul. ”

"Brother Jin, to be honest, since I have cultivated my sword, I have never thought about why I want to cultivate my sword, let alone what the meaning of the existence of the sword soul is. Han Yi said frankly.

"Yes, in fact, many people are the same, although they use swords to cultivate swords, but in fact, they have not thought about why they want to cultivate swords, let alone understand what the meaning of swordsmanship is. Jin Wusupreme said thoughtfully, "Brother Han, since you have comprehended the realm of transforming the mind and have reached perfection, presumably every time after stimulating the realm of transforming the mind, you can feel that the sword in your hand seems to have life, and you can hear its breathing and heartbeat." ”

"It's true, the first time I entered the state of Mind Transformation, the sword in my hand almost lost control. After that, I thoroughly comprehended the realm of transforming my mind and reached the realm of the unity of man and sword, so that I could control the sword in my hand. ”

"For us, the state of the mind simply gives life to the sword in our hands, giving it the breath and the heartbeat to complement us. But this is not the consummation of the sword, we have given life to the sword, but we are still missing the soul. The soul of the sword is the soul of the sword. ”

"I see. Now that I have sword souls, how do I combine them into one?"

"Brother Han, what you have to do is not to merge them into one. It is the sword wielder who gives life to the sword, and it is the sword wielder who gives them souls, and only we can give life and soul to any sword. So the important thing is not to merge them into one, but to let the sword soul be used by you and become the sword in your hand. We are the leaders, users, and controllers, and we must not let weapons control us at any time. ”

"But I can't even sense the sword soul now. Han Yi was a little helpless.

"It's okay, I have something here that can help you sense the sword soul, and then let you establish a connection, and finally help you completely control the sword soul. Jin Wushang waved his hand and took out a small silver pagoda, "This is the Heavenly Machine Sword Tower, which is divided into nine layers, and each layer is guarded by a puppet who is proficient in swordsmanship. As long as you break through the ninth layer, you will be able to completely control the sword soul. ”

"Heavenly Sword Tower, there is still such a treasure. Han Yi couldn't help but admire, if an ordinary swordsman entered the sword tower and broke through the ninth floor, it didn't mean that he would also be able to condense the sword soul.

"Brother Han, I want to remind you. The puppets in the Heavenly Machine Sword Tower are immortal things, and if you fight them, you must defeat them in terms of sword cultivation, otherwise you will not be able to break through the ninth layer in your life, and you will be trapped in it for the rest of your life. Jin Wusupreme's expression was extremely serious, and he stared at Han Yi's eyes and said.

Han Yi nodded, his eyes a little more solemn.

"Okay, let's get started. ”

Jin Wusupreme waved his hand, and the Heavenly Machine Sword Tower suspended in the palm of his hand flew out, expanding rapidly, until it reached dozens of meters before stopping. The surface of the sword tower is surrounded by translucent lines, which is extremely mysterious. The sword tower is divided into eight corners, and in each corner of the nine floors, there is an illusory small sword levitating and rotating, exuding an incomparably powerful sword intent.

At the top of the sword tower, there was a real long sword standing quietly, and the light patterns on the sword body flowed, as if blood was flowing.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready. Han Yi got up and looked at the Heavenly Machine Sword Tower, as if he could sense that something was summoning him inside.

"Remember, the Heavenly Machine Sword Tower tests the cultivation of the sword, not the cultivation of spiritual power. Jin Wushang reminded again.

Han Yi smiled.

"Rest assured. When I come out, I'll fight you for 300 rounds. ”

After he finished speaking, his feet swept away, his body flashed sharply, and he rushed towards the Heavenly Machine Sword Tower. Hum, the light curtain on the surface of the sword tower flickered slightly, and Han Yi was swallowed into it.

Da, Han Yi's figure fell and stepped on the ground. He looked curiously, and the sight was boundless. At this moment, he was in the center of a square, surrounded by huge stone pillars, the surface of which was covered with various sword marks. Many of the stone pillars have broken and turned into ruins.

"Welcome, you will be the one hundred and third challenger of the Heavenly Machine Sword Tower, of the previous one hundred and two challengers, only sixteen of them successfully broke through the ninth floor, and the others have stayed in the Sword Tower forever, are you sure you want to start the challenge?"

Silver light shone in the sky, condensing into the appearance of a young girl, but her expression was indifferent, not human.

Han Yi looked at the girl curiously.

"Identify the challenges. ”

"Very well, I wish you success. The girl finished speaking without a trace of emotion, and with a wave of her hand, nine puppets wearing bronze masks appeared in the square, one color of the ancient robe, and the blue and black satin embroidered with silver sword patterns.

Nine golems hold long swords in their hands, each in a completely different starting position. The long sword in his hand vibrated slightly, as if it had life in an instant.

"The state of mind, the beginning. ”

Han Yi was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect that he would start from the realm of transforming his mind at the beginning. According to his speculation about the nine-story sword tower, the first layer should start from the Imperial Soldier Realm, and it will progress layer by layer, the entrance to the Imperial Soldier Realm, Xiaocheng, Dacheng, and Consummation, and then the entry to the Realm of Transformation of the Heart, Xiaocheng, Dacheng, and Consummation, until the ninth layer of the Imperial Xuan Realm.

"It seems like it's jumping a little bit too much. ”

His brow furrowed, but there was not the slightest fear in his heart.

"I have a question before I start, is it possible that if I defeat you, I can enter the next layer?" Han Yi remembered that Jin Wushang didn't seem to tell him, what kind of conditions can be achieved to be able to enter the next layer.

However, the nine puppets did not answer him at all, and as soon as their bodies moved, they all swept over, their long swords overflowing with cold light, and their sword moves were extremely exquisite. In an instant, the nine puppets formed an encirclement of Han Yi.

Han Yi smiled helplessly, raised his hand and led it falsely, and the Wheel Killing Sword appeared.

"In that case, then I'll also use the introductory mind realm to fight you. ”

As he spoke, the realm of transforming his mind had already been stimulated, and the Wheel Killing Sword vibrated slightly, as if his heart was beating and he began to breathe.

He took the initiative to attack, stomped on his feet, and shot out, his gaze instantly became extremely sharp.

"Dang, dangdang—"

The three puppets that came in front of them flew out uncontrollably, whirring, and the sound of the long sword tearing through the air suddenly came from behind them. At the moment when he attacked, six puppets from other directions shot at the same time, aiming at his vital points.

Their speed was also terrifyingly fast, Han Yi's heart jumped, and he suddenly exerted his strength, soaring into the air, his body reversed, and a sword stabbed down, hitting a puppet's Heavenly Spirit Gai.

The puppet dissipated with a bang, and before Han Yi could land, the remaining eight puppets attacked again. Different directions and different sword moves blocked all of Han Yi's retreats.

These puppets grasped the timing of the battlefield so accurately, and they didn't drag the slightest bit of mud and water when they shot.

Han Yi's mind turned sharply, and the long sword slashed to the left, and when the huge force caused the puppet to fall to the ground. He himself used the power of the shock to quickly twist his body in the air, dodging the attack of the three puppets on the left.

The remaining puppet sword moves changed again, changing from stabbing to flirting, sneering - the clothes behind Han Yi left four sword marks.

He fell to the ground, secretly annoyed.

"Careless. "If it weren't for the fact that he was physically strong, there would have been four wounds added to his back.

Han Yi was about to make a move, when suddenly a silver light flashed in the square, and the puppet that had been defeated by him actually reappeared. He couldn't help but be stunned, and his face was full of incomprehension.

"What's going on?"

However, the puppets apparently wouldn't explain to him, and they attacked again. Han Yi could only continue to attack, and the two sides fought together again.

Countless exquisite sword moves were used from the hands of the puppets, compared to Han Yi's sword moves were a little dwarfed, although his killing moves were simple and effective, but the number of puppets was quite large, and the cooperation with each other was tacit, giving him a chance to kill at all.

Han Yi was defeated by the siege of the nine puppets, and he had almost retreated to the edge of the square.

When he blocked with a sword, he knocked one golem back, and the other eight golems attacked from different directions. The angles of each sword are extremely tricky, like a poisonous snake slaughtering.

Han Yi didn't have time to block the attack from eight directions, and in a hurry, his spiritual power surged, and his long sword drew a circle. The eight long swords that stabbed were sucked into it by the sword circle, and eight sword lights flew out, directly piercing the heads of the puppets.
