At noon on this day, I came to the villa to discuss the final plan of action with my father, and prepared to leave for Fengmen Mountain in the evening.

Knowing my son, my father seemed to have seen that I had something on my mind, and then walked out, sat down beside me, and asked, "Son, what are you thinking?"

I smiled and said, nothing, and my eyes unconsciously fell on the Xuanyuan Sword in my hand.

The father smiled slightly and said, "It seems that something is wrong with your partner!"

These days, I have tried to use the Xuanyuan Sword many times, using forty percent of the true qi, but I can't exert half of the original strength, and I am more and more distressed about these, but I really can't find a solution.

Originally, I wanted to ask my father and get some guidance from him, but since my father woke up, I felt that I had become less independent and always wanted to rely on him like a child, which would have a negative impact on my future development and growth, so many times, I wanted to stop talking and did not express the doubts in my heart.

"Son, there is nothing you can't say to your relatives, just like you can open your heart to your good friend and talk about everything, now treat me as a good friend, and say it from the bottom of your heart!" said the father leisurely, and his warm eyes made me feel very warm.

He is too smart to read a person's mind without asking too much, just by his expressions, which is a skill that others do not have.

I thought about it for a while and said: "Last time on the cruise ship, my Xuanyuan Sword had a problem, and I couldn't play my original strength, and recently I have exhausted all kinds of methods, it seems that there is a gap between me and this divine sword, and I can't get back the feeling I had before, what is the reason?"

"Hehe, I see, maybe I can help you and your little friend get back together!" the father laughed, and then asked carefully about the events of that day.

I went into as much detail as I could, and my father, after listening to it, pondered for a moment, got up and asked me to go with him to a place.

We drove all the way to the top of the fragrant mountain not far away.

In the autumn season, all the sounds are lonely, the red leaves of Xiangshan are the beautiful time, the forest is dyed, today's temperature is not high, so there are few tourists, my father drove the car to the side of a cliff, reached out and took my Xuanyuan sword.

"Weapons are divided into mortal iron, spiritual weapons, treasures and artifacts, my weapon is called the Golden Feather Sword, the treasure is advanced, it is the treasure of the town faction of the ghost doctor, since you have the golden feather, the sword does not leave the body, even in the face of life and death, and your Xuanyuan Sword is a rare artifact in the world, the sharpness is far more than the golden feather, but your strength is still shallow, you can't play its might, listen to what you say, on the cruise ship it suddenly failed, almost harmed you, what does this kind of thing do on the body, it's just a vain name, a harmful object, throw it away!" As he spoke, his father threw the Xuanyuan Sword straight out of the cliff with a wave of his hand.

My heart trembled violently, and the golden light of the Xuanyuan Sword flickered slightly in the air, fleeting.

And I didn't want to, my legs were in a hurry, almost subconsciously jumped out of the cliff, grabbed the Xuanyuan Sword, my body did not have any point of strength, the rapid fall, the true qi in the body was secretly surging, the Xuanyuan Sword flashed with golden light, but the power was still incomparable to before.

I stabbed my sword to the side of the cliff, and the speed of my body gradually slowed down, and I went down more than ten meters before I stopped, and a layer of cold sweat had appeared on my forehead.

At this moment, my father's figure appeared on the edge of the cliff, looking at me condescendingly, with a smile on his face that I couldn't understand.

I quickly climbed up, looked at my father with some annoyance, and said, "Dad, what did you throw my sword for?"

Instead of answering my question directly, my father asked, "Why do you keep it since it left you at the moment of life and death and can't play a role?"

"Because it's a treasure, I risked my life to get it, and I can't lose it!"

"Is that all there is to it?"

I was stunned, licked my lips, and said, "It's my friend when I'm alone!"

"What do you need between friends?" asked the father.

"Affection, respect, life and death!" replied without thinking about it.

My father nodded with satisfaction, pointed to the sword in my hand and said, "Feel it with your heart, and you can try your luck again." ”

I didn't know why, but I did it anyway, and the true qi slowly transported out of my body and into the Xuanyuan Sword, producing a familiar burning sensation, although not as strong as it was at first, it was much better than before.

"It seems to have recovered somewhat?" I said, delighted.

"On the cruise ship, you regarded the Xuanyuan Sword as your foil, saying that if it regarded you as the master, it would save you again, but son, have you ever thought that such an immortal weapon like the Xuanyuan Sword, who can control it and be worthy of being its master?"

I was stunned, and my father's simple words seemed to let me find the root of all problems.

"The golden feather in my hand, the high-grade treasure has begun to take on spirituality, over the years, we get along day and night, share weal and woe, its body has long flowed with my blood, I don't die, it is immortal, life and life, never abandon, therefore, I can move at will, play all its strength, and even complement each other, sometimes hit the power of critical hits, this is the tacit cooperation between friends and partners, can play a miraculous effect!"

"If you only regard the Xuanyuan Sword as an object, you will never deserve to have such a divine object, and it is natural that it does not play a role, remember, the treasure of the artifact level is no longer as simple as having spirituality, and it has spiritual sense, these are too profound, and when you reach my level and perceive the heaven and earth, you can slowly understand, if you want to give full play to the strength of the Xuanyuan Sword, you must not only treat it as a partner, but also understand it, it has its own strengths, its own character and temper, it is not a cold weapon, but a flesh-and-blood partner!," the father sighed.

I touched the Xuanyuan Sword in my hand, and for the first time I had an extraordinary feeling, my father's words woke up the dreamer, yes, it was indeed not a weapon, but my friend.

"Son, do you know that you are also in the middle stage of the innate realm, why are you stronger than ordinary people?" said my father again, wanting to teach me something profound.

I shook my head, expecting what he had to say.

"People in the martial arts, most of them only know strength, exercises and weapons, throw away your exercises and weapons don't count, if you talk about fists and feet alone, I'm afraid you may not be much stronger than others, but if you can improve your Dao realm, even if you don't use external forces in the future, you can reach the level of invincibility in the same realm, the word Dao realm, few people know in today's martial arts!"

What is this, I've never heard of it, I'm very curious.

"When we practice the exercises, at first we used our bodies to communicate with heaven and earth, but the cycle between heaven and earth is endless, the sun sets and the moon rises, which is called orbit from a scientific point of view, and in the eyes of our cultivators, it is the Tao, and the Tao starts from the Tianyuan, and only by raising the cultivator's perception of the Tao to a certain level can it be regarded as entering the Tao with skills, and it can be regarded as the first realm of small success!"

"And then, with the continuous improvement of strength, the cultivator has reached the level of comprehending heaven and earth from perceiving nature, perceiving the transient changes of the universe, thunder, lightning, wind and rain, which is the second level of the Dao realm, emptiness, mirrors, flowers, water and moon, everything is empty, breaking the original cognition, and re-perceiving everything around him. ”

"After that, breaking through nature, breaking through heaven and earth, is a thought-provoking perception of oneself, at this time, you will enter the third level of the Dao realm, wonderful, vacuum is wonderful, if your Dao realm can reach this height, even if you meet a strong person like me, it may not be a dead end, there is always a chance to survive, so don't blindly pursue the improvement of strength, even if you can reach the late congenital realm now, meet a person with a very high Dao realm, you may not be able to get much benefit!" said his father with a smile.

I muttered to myself, entering the Tao with skills, emptiness, vacuum is wonderful, and the Tao realm is threefold.

My father's words made me understand why some people can jump over the level and kill masters who are stronger than themselves, while others are killed by people who are weaker.

The Dao Realm is another manifestation that is different from strength, and it is equally important.
