The third floor of the Dean's Tower, in Room 5. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The armless old man sat cross-legged with his back to Ye Xingchen, Ye Xingchen was also sitting cross-legged at the moment, and in the empty room, only the old man's faint voice was echoing.

"That kid Li Chongshan pointed you here, did you tell you something about me?" the armless old man asked lightly.

Ye Xingchen shook his head and said, "No, Senior Li didn't say much, but the junior heard about it from a friend." ”

"Oh, I didn't think anyone would know about me now?" said the armless old man.

"Senior, my friend's grandfather's name is Fang Zhanyuan, and he is also the vice president of Haotian Academy. Ye Xingchen hurriedly said.

"It turned out to be Fang Zhanyuan's kid's grandson, hehe, time flies so fast, I think when this kid first entered the inner courtyard, I also pointed him out, and in a blink of an eye, his grandson entered the inner courtyard. The armless old man sighed.

Ye Xingchen's heart was full of shock.

Fang Zhanyuan was older than Li Chongshan, he was already over one hundred and forty years old, and when he first entered the inner courtyard of Haotian Academy, it was more than one hundred and ten years ago.

The armless old man in front of him was already a powerhouse above the seven-star battle king more than one hundred and ten years ago, which is incredible.

Just when Ye Xingchen was shocked, the armless old man in front of him spoke: "Since the little guy of the Fang family has reminded you, you still dare to come here to ask me about kendo, aren't you afraid of going crazy like those people before?"

Ye Xingchen said with a smile when he heard this: "The junior just wants to ask the senior to guide me in the way of the sword, and I don't want to learn the way of the senior, besides, if others learn the way of the predecessor and go crazy, it doesn't mean that the junior is the same." ”

"It is worthy of being the first golden-robed student of my Haotian Academy in hundreds of years, you are very confident. Of course, with your talent, you do deserve to have this confidence. The armless old man said lightly.

Ye Xingchen hurriedly said: "The seniors have won the award." ”

The armless old man shook his head and said, "Less than twenty years old, you have the strength you have today, and you don't need anyone to praise you for your talent." But ......"

The armless old man's tone changed suddenly, and he said: "Although you are highly talented, but my kendo is a bit special, you may not be able to learn it, if you force it to learn, I am afraid that you will be like those people before, and you will eventually go crazy and become a demon." ”

Ye Xingchen was curious when he heard this: "What is the sword path of the seniors, why did those people in the past suddenly go crazy, the younger generations have seen a lot of martial arts and combat techniques, but they have not seen any combat skills that make people crazy." ”

"The world is so big, there are no wonders!"

The armless old man sighed with emotion, and then said: "The sword path I am walking is the heart sword, this kind of sword path is very rare, I have been to the mainland for more than two hundred years, but I have not seen the second person who walked the heart sword path except for me." ”

"Heart Sword Dao?" Ye Xingchen showed a puzzled look, this is the first time he has heard of this kind of sword way.

Kendo is broad, there are fast kendo, heavy kendo, overlord kendo, etc., but he has never heard of this heart kendo.

I heard the armless old man continue: "Although I haven't seen the second person who walks the Heart Sword Dao, this Heart Sword Dao is not created by me, but I got it from a ruin a hundred years ago. ”

"It turned out to be left by the ancient predecessors, but since the predecessors also cultivated this heart sword dao, why didn't the predecessors go crazy, but others went crazy when they cultivated?" Ye Xingchen wondered.

The armless old man said: "The heart sword is different from other sword ways, this kind of sword path attaches great importance to mind cultivation, the higher the state of mind, the more powerful the cultivation of this sword path will be, and vice versa. In addition, we kendo cultivators are all known for their strong attack power, so the murderous aura is also very strong. If the murderous spirit is great, there will be demons. And our heart sword path is to make our heart a sword, so once there is a heart demon, the heart demon is also very terrifying. ”

Hearing this, Ye Xingchen understood a little, and he guessed: "Could it be that those people went crazy because they couldn't resist the demons in their hearts?"

The armless old man nodded, and then sighed: "Those people I pointed out, after cultivating the Heart Sword Dao, their strength has improved by leaps and bounds. However, I also told them about the disadvantages of heart kendo, so that they should pay attention to mind cultivation and not be controlled by heart demons. But they were all confused by the powerful power, and they didn't take my words seriously at all, and after seeing the powerful power of the Heart Sword Dao, they cultivated desperately, and finally were slowly invaded by the heart demons, and became the demon who only knew how to kill. ”

"I don't think anyone can resist the temptation of a powerful force!" Ye Xingchen sighed.

The armless old man said: "I am lucky, I practiced the Heart Sword Dao when I was in my nineties, and at that time my cultivation had already reached the realm of the Seven-Star War King, and my state of mind was also very high, reaching the first level of the state of mind 'Heart is like stopping water' realm. In addition, I am old, have experienced a lot, and have a strong will, so I can resist the inner demons that come with cultivating the Heart Sword Dao, so that my strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and I can even defeat the one-star War Emperor when I am in the realm of the Nine-Star War King. ”

"In this way, if you want to cultivate this sword path, you must at least raise your state of mind to the first level of realm. Ye Xingchen was suddenly a little disappointed.

Cultivating the mind is very difficult.

Ye Xingchen's cultivation of the soul determination, coupled with the inheritance of the master without regrets, has obtained the ascetic's mind cultivation method, and now he is still a long way from the first layer of the state of mind.

"Heart Kendo doesn't have this requirement!"

Hearing this, the armless old man shook his head and said, "The state of mind is strong, and it is good to cultivate the Heart Sword Dao, but there is no such mandatory restriction. The key is to care about yourself, if you are strong-willed, if you can restrain your own heart, and not be tempted by great forces, then it will be fine. ”

"And ......"

Speaking of this, the armless old man looked at his severed arms and sighed, "Moreover, I can't stop the invasion of demons in the end......"

"What!"

Ye Xingchen's face changed, and he was shocked: "Even seniors, you can't stop that demon?"

The armless old man nodded and said with a wry smile: "With my strength, do you think there is anyone else in this continent who can cut off my arms? ”

"Senior, why are you doing this?" Ye Xingchen said in shock.

The armless old man raised his head, looked at the opposite wall and was silent, and after a long time, he sighed: "Back then, I successfully cultivated the Heart Sword Dao, and I had the strength to defeat the One-Star War Emperor in the Nine-Star War King realm, so I was high-spirited, so I went to challenge the Yanlong Human Emperor, who had just been promoted to the War Emperor, and finally almost killed him. ”

Ye Xingchen listened with admiration on his face, the War King defeated the War Emperor, which definitely created a miracle.

"Because of this battle, the Yanlong Emperor was discredited, and I became famous all over the world......," the armless old man recalled.

Immediately, his face showed pain: "Because of this battle, I have formed a mortal enmity with the Yanlong Human Emperor, of course, I am not afraid of him." Because, at that time, I was already sure to step into the realm of the War Emperor. When the time comes, with the power of my heart sword, there is no war emperor on this continent who will be my opponent. ”

"But I didn't expect him to deal with my family!"

The armless old man gritted his teeth and said: "He is a one-man emperor, and he actually dealt with my family regardless of his face, and killed all my family, all of them, and did not let any of them go." ”

Ye Xingchen was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect the famous Yanlong Human Emperor to be so ruthless.

"Anger, regret...... When I got the news, my whole body was overwhelmed with anger. Originally, my state of mind could still resist the inner demons generated by cultivating the Heart Sword Dao, but after this incident, the power of my inner demons suddenly skyrocketed a lot, and I almost took control of my body. Fortunately, I have always focused on cultivating my mind, and in the end, I was able to hold on for a while, and I was not suddenly seized of control of my body by that inner demon. It was this moment that made me make a decision, and I immediately cut off my arms. ”

The armless old man said coldly: "This heart sword dao also has to be performed with both hands, and I cut off my hands, almost making my strength retreat." In the same way, my demons have weakened and there is no longer a threat to me. It's just that without my arms, my strength has been greatly reduced, but I am not the opponent of the Yanlong Human Emperor. When I went to seek revenge on the Yanlong Emperor again, I was severely injured by him, and although I finally escaped, my body was left with a dark illness, and I could no longer step into the realm of the War Emperor. All these years, I was just waiting for death. ”

The armless old man was a little lonely.

Ye Xingchen sighed secretly, this senior originally had a bright future, but in the end he ended up like this.

It can only be said that fate creates man.

"Okay, I've already told you about the Heart Sword Dao, you decide for yourself whether you want to learn it or not. To be honest, although I don't want you to learn this kendo, I also don't want this kendo to be lost with me, so it's a bit contradictory. The armless old man said.

It was precisely because of this contradiction that when Ye Xingchen came to visit him for the first time, he did not meet Ye Xingchen.

It wasn't until Ye Xingchen visited him for a month that he decided to meet Ye Xingchen and let Ye Xingchen decide for himself.

"Senior, I want to take a look at this heart sword, as for whether to learn or not, I will do what I can. Ye Xingchen groaned.

The armless old man nodded and said in appreciation: "You have such a heart, I am also a lot relieved, this is the kendo secret book I got from that ruin, you can take it." ”

With that, the armless old man threw a book at Ye Xingchen.

Ye Xingchen hurriedly caught it, stunned, as if he didn't expect the armless old man to hand over this powerful secret book to him so quickly.

I only heard the armless old man say with a smile: "I'm over one hundred and ninety years old, and it's already the limit for the War King to be able to return to my age." My body I know that in no more than a year at most, I will die. This secret book is the only precious thing I have, I don't want to keep it for me to bury, if you can succeed in cultivation, it's best, if you can't succeed, then you can dispose of it. ”

"The juniors understand. Ye Xingchen nodded, and then put away the cheatbook.

The armless old man still turned his back to Ye Xingchen and said, "Let me remind you one last time, if you want to cultivate this secret book, then you must remember: no matter how powerful the sword is, it must be held in someone's hand!"

"Obey the teachings of your predecessors!" Ye Xingchen remembered this sentence and then exited room five. (To be continued.) )
