Just when Zhang Ruochen was thinking about whether to tell the old man Xuanji the secret of his opening of the Divine Martial Mark of Time and Space.

The old man Xuanji said again: "Do you know the difference between 'sword cultivation' and 'sword wielder'?"

Is there a difference between a sword cultivator and a sword wielder?

Zhang Ruochen was slightly surprised, immediately stood up, bowed, and said, "The disciple doesn't know, please make it clear to the master." ”

The old man Xuanji looked at Zhang Ruochen meaningfully and said, "Sword cultivation is 'sword', and sword users practice 'sword technique'. ”

"What is the difference between swords and swordsmanship?" Zhang Ruochen asked curiously.

The old man Xuanji said: "In the world, there are so many warriors and monks who use swords as weapons, but there are very few people who can be called sword cultivators. ”

"It is true that some exquisite sword techniques, once successfully cultivated, can indeed burst out with infinite power. However, do you think that cultivating a ghost-level sword technique, or even a king-level sword technique, even if it is a sword cultivator, they are just sword users. ”

"In front of a true sword cultivator, the swordsmanship that the swordsman is proud of is not vulnerable at all. Even if it is a king-level swordsmanship, it can be broken with one move. ”

"King-level swordsmanship can also be broken with one move", if this sentence is said from other people's mouths, Zhang Ruochen will definitely feel that the other party is arrogant.

Even if it is a ghost-level swordsmanship, it is quite mysterious, and it can open the mountain and cut the mountain, and cut off the flow with one sword.

What's more, it's still a king-level swordsmanship?

If there is really a set of king-level swordsmanship, I am afraid that even a saint will snatch it. Even if you can only get one king-level swordsmanship, after successful cultivation, it is enough to be proud of the world's heroes with this sword.

But the person who said this was the "Old Man Xuanji", one of the three great sword saints in the Eastern Regions, so Zhang Ruochen had to reassess the weight of this sentence.

Can sword cultivation really break the king-level sword technique with a single sword?

The old man Xuanji said again: "In the entire Eastern Regions, there are many sages, and there are not a few of them who use swords. Do you know why you can become one of the three great sword saints as a teacher, but not other saints?"

Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment and said, "Could it be because Shizun is a real sword cultivator, and what he cultivates is a sword, not a simple swordsmanship." ”

"That's right. ”

Old Man Xuanji nodded, and said, "Do you know how sword cultivation cultivates swords?"

Zhang Ruochen shook his head.

The old man asked again, "Have you ever heard of the "Wordless Sword Spectrum"?"

Zhang Ruochen's eyes lit up, revealing a look of fascination, and said, "I've heard a little." Legend has it that the "Wordless Sword Book" is the supreme sacred text of Tai Chi Dao, which is stored in the holy land of Kendo, Sword Pavilion. ”

"No one knows the source of the "Wordless Sword Spectrum", only that at the beginning of the establishment of Tai Chi Dao, the "Wordless Sword Spectrum" was stored in the Sword Pavilion. It is said that if someone can understand it thoroughly, they will be invincible in the world. ”

"However, I have heard that only people with extremely high kendo realms can understand the sword tricks on the "Wordless Sword Spectrum". Moreover, every sword trick is quite obscure, and even a half-saint may not be able to understand it. ”

The old man Xuanji nodded and said, "The sword cultivation is the Wordless Sword Spectrum. ”

Zhang Ruochen said: "But ...... "Wordless Sword Spectrum" is not a holy book of Tai Chi Dao, how can it be spread to the outside world?"

Zhang Ruochen really didn't know that the sword cultivator was actually cultivating the "Wordless Sword Spectrum". In the previous life, although he was the son of Emperor Ming, he was well-informed and well-read, but after all, his cultivation was too low, and he had not really come into contact with the category of sword cultivation.

For "Wordless Sword Spectrum", he has only heard of it slightly, and has not seen it with his own eyes.

The old man Xuanji said with a smile: "Of course you won't know, in fact, every hundred years, Tai Chi Dao will hold a 'Sword Conference', inviting people from all over the world to gather in the Sword Pavilion to comprehend the "Wordless Sword Spectrum" and talk about the subtlety of the sword spectrum. Tai Chi Dao wants to use the wisdom of the people of the world to crack all the sword tricks of "Wordless Sword Spectrum". ”

"It's just that only those who use swords above the demi-saint level are eligible to receive an invitation. You juniors, how can you know?"

"It is precisely because of the 'On the Sword Conference' that the sword trick of "Wordless Sword Spectrum" has also been widely spread. ”

Zhang Ruochen asked: "Since the sword recipe of the "Wordless Sword Spectrum" has been circulated, why are there still very few people who can become sword cultivators?"

The old man Xuanji sighed: "Even if there is a sword technique of "Wordless Sword Spectrum", how many people can understand it? Even if they can understand it, how many people can get started?"

"Nowadays, those who use swords are pursuing the power of swordsmanship and the subtlety of swordsmanship, how many people are willing to spend a lot of time to really study the way of the sword itself?"

"Ruochen, your talent is very high, and your comprehension is also excellent, so you are the best candidate for practicing kendo. As a teacher, I also hope that the next sword conference will take you to the Sword Pavilion to show your talent in front of the sword users in the world. Just like the peerless Sword Emperor at the beginning, Xue Hongchen. If you don't make a sound, it's a blockbuster. ”

"Therefore, you must not go astray, do not deliberately pursue one move and one style of swordsmanship, and forget the root of swordsmanship. ”

Zhang Ruochen finally understood why the old man Xuanji asked him to practice "Instant Without a Trace" before.

What kind of identity is the old man Xuanji, one of the three great sword saints in the Eastern Regions, what kind of exquisite swordsmanship has he not seen? Does he really want to see Zhang Ruochen's swordsmanship?

Apparently not.

He was just worried that Zhang Ruochen was too deliberately pursuing one-move-one-style swordsmanship, and went astray, going farther and farther away from the root of swordsmanship.

The old man Xuanji looked at Zhang Ruochen's thoughtful expression, and nodded.

He knew that Zhang Ruochen was a smart person, and he only needed a little reminder to wake up.

However, Zhang Ruochen is just a young man after all, and he has just reached the supreme extreme realm of the Heavenly Extreme Realm, so it can be said that overnight, he became famous all over the world.

Any young person who has achieved such results will inevitably be complacent.

Therefore, the old man Xuanji decided to beat Zhang Ruochen, so he said: "Ruochen, you are twenty-one years old this year, right?

Zhang Ruochen thought that the old man Xuanji would immediately pass him the "Wordless Sword Spectrum", but he didn't expect that he would suddenly ask such a question.

Zhang Ruochen said truthfully: "There is still a long way to go between a disciple and a true powerhouse, and I just want to continue to cultivate hard and seek the path of the Holy Path with a pious heart. ”

In the last life, Zhang Ruochen reached the first place in "Heavenly List" at the age of sixteen, and he had already become famous once.

Therefore, now that he is famous again, he really does not have any distractions in his heart.

The old man Xuanji said eloquently: "Eight hundred years ago, the young Empress Chi Yao stepped on the battlefield of the ruin realm alone, and with her own strength, she slaughtered almost all the living beings in a ruin realm, piling up corpses like mountains, bleeding into the sea, and accumulating 90 million military merit points, far exceeding the amount of military merit value of the supreme extreme realm of the heavenly extreme realm. ”

She was only sixteen years old that year. ”

"So, your current achievements still seem insignificant in front of her. You must follow the example of the Empress, and remember not to be arrogant, not to be manic. ”

Zhang Ruochen was quite disdainful, gritted his teeth, and said coldly: "At the age of sixteen, she is so murderous, and she doesn't know how much innocent blood is stained with her hands. If I follow her example, what difference will I have from the murderer?"

The old man's eyes were cold, and he reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense, the empress's merits can be passed on for thousands of years, and you can't slander it." ”

Then, the old man Xuanji's eyes softened a little, and he said seriously: "Young man, it's just too reckless, in this case, in the future, you must not say it again." If you give it to outsiders, you will die. ”

Zhang Ruochen gradually suppressed his emotions.

After a long time, Zhang Ruochen regained his composure.

The old man Xuanji shook his head, stopped talking about Empress Chi Yao with Zhang Ruochen, took out a half-foot-long book from his sleeve, and handed it over.

Zhang Ruochen took the book, held it in his hand, and saw two words written on the cover.

"Kenichi!"

Zhang Ruochen slowly opened the pages of the book, looked at it intently, and was immediately attracted by the content of the book.

After reading it for about an hour, he went through the above content completely.

Zhang Ruochen closed his dry eyes, closed the book, raised his head, and asked, "What a mysterious sword path, it is simply broad and profound, which is amazing." Master, could it be that this is the sword trick on the "Wordless Sword Spectrum"?"

The old man Xuanji nodded and said, "It is indeed the sword technique on the "Wordless Sword Spectrum", but the content in it is only the personal experience of the teacher. The real sword trick is more mysterious than what is recorded in the book. ”

"You can take a look at it at will, but don't completely follow the experience of being a teacher, otherwise, it will be difficult for you to successfully cultivate Sword One. ”

Zhang Ruochen said: "There is a lot of content in "Sword One", and the disciples can't understand it yet, I hope the master can give me some pointers. ”

Old Man Xuanji smiled and asked, "How profound Sword One is, it's normal for you to not understand it." As a teacher, I want to know, how much do you understand?"

Zhang Ruochen frowned and sighed deeply.

When the old man Xuanji saw Zhang Ruochen's expression, he knew that this proud disciple had been stumped by "Sword One".

"Sword One" is the real way of the sword, and it is also the threshold of sword cultivation.

Even a half-saint, when he flipped through "Sword One" for the first time, it was like reading a book from heaven, and he couldn't understand it at all.

The cultivation of a fish dragon for the first time, if you can understand a few of them, it is already quite remarkable.

The old man Xuanji passed "Sword One" to Zhang Ruochen, and he just wanted him to read it at any time to prepare for embarking on the road of sword cultivation in the future, and he didn't expect Zhang Ruochen to understand it now.

Of course, the old man Xuanji originally wanted to borrow "Sword One" to suppress Zhang Ruochen's arrogance, so as not to make him proud and complacent and ruin his good future.

It is clear that his purpose has been achieved.
