After casually wandering around the outer sect for a while, he returned to the Sword Washing Pavilion.

Tie Li watched Yan Hongchen come back and said, "Little junior brother, you didn't bully people in the outer sect today, right?"

Yan Hongchen was stunned, this senior brother's way of caring about people is really special, not that he was worried about being bullied, but asked if he had bullied others.

Yan Hongchen said: "Senior brother, senior brother just walked around the outer sect at will today, and there was nothing special about it. ”

Tie Li laughed and said: "But I heard that the junior brother defeated the top ten Niu Lie of the outer sect with one sword, and also took off the clothes of the pearl in the palm of the Light Sword Pavilion." ”

Yan Hongchen coughed dryly and said embarrassedly: "Senior brother, this ......"

Tie Li stood up, patted Yan Hongchen on the shoulder, and said, "Don't shy away from it, senior brother is also from here, but you can't be so rude next time, if you like that woman, next time senior brother will call the master to tell you to match." ”

Seeing Tie Li's serious appearance, Yan Hongchen wanted to say more, but was stopped by Tie Li, and said, "Little junior brother, the master explained, if you come back, I will take you to the sword washing pool to cultivate." It is necessary to step up the cultivation of the sword path and improve it a little more, so that in half a month later, the new disciples of the sect will compete in the skills of the others, and help us wash the sword pavilion to fight for face, and the first thing is to enter the inner courtyard This place you must also take. ”

Yan Hongchen said seriously: "Senior brother should do his best to not disgrace the Sword Pavilion." ”

Tie Li pressed on the corner of the first floor, and a secret passage appeared on the floor, and there was a basement at the bottom of this sword tower?

Following Tie Li down the basement, inside was a circular space, and there was a pool in the middle, but the water in the pool was a shiny liquid, this liquid was silver, and there was a sharp sword intent like a cultivator, which faintly emanated, which made Yan Hongchen curious.

Tie Li said: "This is the foundation of the Sword Washing Pavilion, this is the sword intent rules spirit liquid washing sword pool, entering the pool to cultivate and absorb the sword intent rules, there are endless benefits, and it can also make your sword path cultivation level improve quickly." Remember, if you can't bear it and can't keep it, it's good to wash the sword pool, but it's also easy to hurt yourself and lose more than you gain. ”

Yan Hongchen nodded and said, "Senior brother, remember!"

After speaking, Tie Li left the basement, saying that he was picking up Yan Hongchen after half a month.

Bloodthirsty halberd, said: "The spiritual liquid formed by the rules of the sword way, this is a good thing, every drop is amazingly precious in the outside world, this Sword Washing Pavilion master is willing to let you absorb it." ”

Yan Hongchen asked, "You also know this thing, I have never understood what the rules of kendo are. ”

Bloodthirsty halberd, said: "The meaning of the rules of kendo is very simple, that is, a sword hilt and a sword body are indispensable. To put it another way, if you are a sword that has not opened its peak, then the rules of the sword are polishing stones, and the comprehension rules can help you open the edge step by step, until your sword is completely opened, and you will become a sword in the real sense, but the sword pool eliminates the comprehension process and directly absorbs and refines. ”

Hearing this, Yan Hongchen jumped directly into the sword washing pool, and a cold sword intent drilled directly into his body from the pores, constantly refining the sword intent in his body, and the hundreds of limbs and bones suffered from extremely painful washing.

Yan Hongchen sat in the pool, his mind turned into an ethereal level, the pain gradually disappeared, and he felt the baptism of the rules of kendo with his heart.

In my mind, a voice was asking myself, and then, many voices sounded, and many questions kept emerging, why did I cultivate a sword, what is a sword, what is a sword, why do I want to become stronger, why do I work so hard to cultivate a sword......

These questions, all kinds of voices exploded in Yan Hongchen's mind, making it difficult for him to control his calmness.

Bloodthirsty halberd, said: "Stabilize your mind, don't let the sword washing pool kendo rules, the sound conjured up disturb yourself."

Faced with all kinds of sudden questions in his heart, Yan Hongchen was a little difficult to answer, his mind tried to calm down as much as possible, and those voices suddenly stopped, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

In his mind, Yan Hongchen saw a person, this person looked exactly like himself, except for his dull expression and empty eyes, almost this was himself.

He opened his mouth and said, "Yan Hongchen, why are you cultivating?"

Yan Hongchen thought for a while, blurted out, and said, "Because I want to become stronger." ”

He asked again, "Why do you want to become stronger? Is it really that important to become stronger? Isn't it good to live a comfortable life? Isn't it good to go back to the Shenqi Continent and be with that beautiful lady of yours?"

Faced with this question, Yan Hongchen suddenly became a little speechless, and at this moment, Ye Chengcheng's appearance appeared next to him, and said, "Husband, isn't it good to come back to the Shenqi Continent to spend time with me?"

Since ancient times, if you want to continue to improve the Xuanjie Washing Sword, you need to ask your heart repeatedly and hone it repeatedly.

It's like the Yellow Rank, it is a kind of firm belief in the way of the sword, so continuing to cultivate after reaching the Xuan Rank Sword is to smooth out all the edges and corners of one's own infirmity to the way of the sword.

At this point, the bloodthirsty halberd knew that it could not help Yan Hongchen, so he simply fell silent and watched how he answered his heart.

Facing Ye Chengcheng, Yan Hongchen always had a gentle tone, and said: "I don't think it's bad to be with you in the Shenqi Continent, my mission in this life has not been completed, and now my father has not found it, the avenue has not been completed, and it is not enough to resurrect my mother." Even if I really return to the Shenqi Continent and live a happy life with you peacefully, I think that's just deceiving my heart, and it's not really happy. ”

When Yan Hongchen finished speaking, after this inner sentence. Kendo's will and mind calmed down from trance again.

His own sword path also became a little firmer, and in the sword pool, a clear stream melted into his body and integrated into his own sword path, making the sword in his heart more sharp and tough.

Immediately, Ye Chengcheng's phantom disappeared, but the self was still there, and he continued to speak: "What is a sword? What is your sword path?"

This question asked Yan Hongchen, and the sword intent in his body suddenly fell silent at this moment, as if he had fallen into the abyss, and his mind became dim in a trance.

What is a sword and what is my kendo?

Yan Hongchen couldn't answer, he didn't know why he was cultivating, was it just because he got the inheritance of the Red Lotus Sword Emperor?

No, this is not a reason why I want to cultivate my sword.

In the abyss, Yan Hongchen suddenly thought of something, opened his eyes and said: "The sword is just a weapon, but the way of the sword is not, the way of the sword is my own, my own self, for the sake of those who look forward to the eyes and those who are waiting, I can only work hard to become stronger, my sword path should be happy and revenge, and leave no regrets." ”

Yan Hong replied firmly, word by word.

All the confusion in those minds is gradually becoming clear at this moment, and their own kendo is constantly sublimating.

Those uncertainties of the past, those edges and corners are gradually smoothing out, and the sword heart is constantly firm.

Yan Hongchen's heart at this moment emitted a faint red light, and the original flesh and blood heart gradually became clear and exquisite, like a transparent heart.

Time flies by day by day, and Yan Hongchen, who is sitting in the sword pool, keeps absorbing the rules of the sword.

From the outside world, Yan Hongchen's entire body slowly seemed to be separated from heaven and earth, and gradually fit between heaven and earth.

It's a feeling of jumping out of the grip of heaven and earth, as if he is no longer himself in this world, and he is just an energy floating body assimilated.

At this moment, all kinds of confusion in the past have also become clear and clear, and many emotions have turned into a calm and peaceful normal.

The sword qi surrounding him was no longer a sharp edge, but a silent air flow.

Yan Hongchen closed his eyes tightly and was silent in the way of sharpening his sword......

The bloodthirsty ring suddenly flew out of his hand, and the red light was bright, and he could vaguely see that there was a heroic man in the red light.

He muttered to himself, "Reaching the Sacred Heart Realm so quickly, your talent, even in the Continent of the Gods back then, was an existence that could be watched by everyone. ”

He jerked his palm up and gestured to slap it down.

It turned out that in the process of smoothing the edges and corners of the sword, Yan Hongchen actually cut off his own bonds, and his cultivation also successfully stepped into the realm of the Sacred Heart.

Yan Hongchen, who stepped into the holy state of mind, was no longer the original state of mind with strong blood, and some were just ordinary minds.

Whether it is his view of the world, or his emotions, he has reached a point where there are no waves in the world, as if nothing in the world can ripple in his heart.

Yan Hongchen's voice was calm, and he said, "If you want this body, take it." I have all this from you, and I have no complaints, and I have been with me all the way, I have already had a premonition that many things will happen, and I have regarded you as my only teacher. ”

This figure sighed deeply and said, "Alas, that's it, it's been waiting for so many years." ”

This figure also disappeared, turned into the original bloodthirsty ring, and returned to Yan Hongchen's hands.

The cultivation did not stop, Yan Hongchen frantically absorbed the liquid of the sword washing pool.

Because I have crossed into the state of the Sacred Heart, I have been firm in many cognitions, doubts, and confusions, and there is no longer the confusion of the past.

The domineering sword qi of the Xuan-rank Sword Dao was replaced by the sword qi of the Invisible Heaven and Earth.

Yan Hongchen's kendo level has also successfully stepped into the ground grade level.
