The sword is not cultivated under the heavenly spirit, and the sword is not forgotten above the heavenly spirit.

During this time, Mo Tong kept repeating this sentence in his mind. As he read more and more ancient books in the library hall, Mo Tong's understanding of spiritual cultivation deepened, but the more confused he felt about this sentence.

Physical cultivation, constantly strengthening the body is, cultivating the Tao with this, and realizing the Tao with this one.

Sword cultivation, pregnant sword with heart, one sword breaks ten thousand laws, the heart is the way, and the road is the sword.

These are clearly two opposite paths of spiritual cultivation, and the ancient texts do not mention the common denominator of these two spiritual paths, but they focus on the advantages and disadvantages of each other.

And among the ancient books, what interests Mo Tong the most are some of the failures that record some body sword practitioners in history. There are many reasons for their failure, but they all have one thing in common, that is, none of their cultivation has surpassed the realm of heavenly spirits, and the highest is only the nine-star heavenly spirit. For tens of thousands of years, this has been the case, and no one has ever been able to break this law. There seemed to be an impenetrable barrier between sword cultivation and body cultivation, and when they reached the realm of heavenly spirits, they could only choose one or the other.

"Barrier? When you are in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, why does the sword cultivation and physical cultivation have a barrier, and what is the barrier?"

On the bookshelf, there were only less than a hundred jade slips left, and Mo Tong still couldn't find the reason. Mo Tong found that he had thought about the problem too simply, the problem between physical cultivation and sword cultivation, I don't know how many amazing spiritual cultivators have struggled to figure it out in their lifetimes for thousands of years, how could he understand it in such a short period of time?

It's a pity that if you can enter the library hall of the Rain Spirit Academy, the collection of ancient books inside is more comprehensive, and the ancient books are older. Although there are many ancient books in the library hall of Qingzong, most of them are from the past few thousand years, and there are very few ancient books from 10,000 years ago.

However, Mo Tong also understood that the ancient books from 10,000 years ago were extremely precious materials, all of which were treasured by the major sects, and it was difficult for non-core disciples to read them. In his previous life, Mo Tong was dedicated to cultivating his soul, and he didn't pay much attention to some 10,000-year-old ancient books, so he guessed that Qingzong should also have some treasures in this regard. This is most likely hidden on the second floor of the library hall, along with some high-level spiritual skills.

Except for a few elders and core disciples in the library hall on the second floor, ordinary Xuanling disciples are not qualified to go up. Even the core disciples have extremely limited authority to go up, and they can only look through the ancient books and some ordinary spiritual skills on it. If you want to learn the secret book of spiritual skills above the Xuan Rank, you must first obtain the consent of the sect master before you can read it. The spiritual skills on the second floor, Mo Tong is not interested in it for the time being, but the 10,000-year-old ancient books on it make Mo Tong yearn for it.

In the previous life, it took Mo Tong more than thirty years of hard work, and I don't know how much blood and sweat he had to spend before he could become a core disciple and set foot in the second library hall.

The core disciples are the pillars of the Qing Sect in the future, and the future elders and sect masters are all selected from the core disciples. Therefore, if you want to become a core disciple, in addition to being gifted in spiritual cultivation and having great development potential, it is more important to have the guarantee of an elder above the elder level, and pass a specific assessment and be recognized by all the elders and sect masters before you can become a core disciple.

The Xuanling Pagoda trial in two months now is an excellent opportunity. Mo Tong, who had experience in his previous life, knew that the difference between this Xuanling Pagoda trial and the previous ones was to select the Xuanling Disciple Exchange Conference of the Rain Continent two years later. As long as he has the qualifications to participate in the Xuanling Disciple Exchange Conference, he will naturally become the core disciple of Qingzong. At that time, not to mention that you had to look through any ancient books on the second floor, even if you wanted to learn any spiritual skills, it was easy.

And the Xuanling Disciple Exchange Conference is organized by Yumen and other major sects, if you want to perform well at the meeting, what benefits you can get, Mo Tong believes that it will definitely not be bad.

These days, there has been a sword cultivator and a body cultivator arguing in Mo Tong's mind, and Mo Tong did not stand on the side of any faction, quietly listening, silently remembering the advantages and disadvantages of each of them.

It seems to be enlightened, but it seems to be unclear, and people fall into a state of chaos. Others seem to have a dull aura everywhere between their demeanor.

The treasure digging experts of the Purple Garden were stupid when they turned over the jade slips in the library hall! This news began to spread from the library hall when there were only two months left before the Xuanling Pagoda trial.

Ma Xingkong, who had just broken through the two-star Xuanling, heard the news, and rushed to the library hall to secretly take a look at Mo Tong, and found that Mo Tong was indeed no different from the rumored dementia. However, the difference is that at this time, Mo Tong was not flipping through the messy ancient books, but walked to the book shelves with low-level spiritual skills, picked up a jade slip with spiritual skills, and stood for a long time without moving.

Ma Xingkong found that Mo Tong's cultivation had not grown at all in the past few months, and from a long distance, he still recognized that the jade slip in Mo Tong's hand was a low-level "Square Fist" engraved with the Yellow Rank of Spiritual Technique, and he stood in front of the bookshelf for most of the day, and closed his eyes and pondered. Seeing this, Ma Xingkong sneered in his heart: It's too late to start working hard now! It takes so long for such a simple low-level "Fang Fist" of the Yellow Order to be enlightened, and even if you are so perceptive, you dare to learn spiritual skills? It's really ridiculous! Bai Linggen is really Bai Linggen, no matter how hard you try, it's in vain! Mo Tong, you were better than me before. But now, I'm afraid it's hard to say!

In the past three months, Ma Xingkong has been cultivating day and night, cultivating to a higher level, becoming the first among spiritual cultivators of the same age, and has also learned several Xuan-level spiritual techniques from the master and other senior brothers and sisters. At this time, seeing that Mo Tong was so sluggish, far from his own spiritual cultivation speed, Ma Xingkong once again saw his chances of winning in the Xuanling Pagoda trial.

Recently, Ma Xingkong also got news from Master Dongmen Fan that this Xuanling Pagoda trial is still an excellent opportunity to become a core disciple of Qingzong. Therefore, in the competition, his unrestrained performance must be overwhelming all cultivators of the same age, especially Mo Tong, who has always made him jealous, must be overpowered.

Ma Xingkong would never know that in terms of diligence, the three of them combined were less than half of Mo Tong's. In his previous life, Mo Tong used his ordinary qualifications to catch up with and surpass a number of cultivators whose talents were much higher than his own, and he successfully broke through to the Xuan Ling in just fifty years, becoming the only earth spirit in Qingzong. The amount of effort required in this is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

In this life, Mo Tong has his own way of spiritual cultivation. With one hundred and fifty years of spiritual cultivation experience in his previous life, diligence is no longer suitable for Mo Tong. If you want to make a bigger breakthrough, you need to spend more time on the word 'enlightenment' in this life!

Mo Tong knew that his comprehension was actually not high, but he had the experience of cultivating spirits in the previous life, and his starting point was not comparable to that of ordinary disciples.

After reading all the ancient books, although Mo Tong has not yet found a way suitable for his future spiritual cultivation, he has a faint direction, and feels that the sentence 'If you don't cultivate the sword under the heavenly spirit, you won't forget the sword above the heavenly spirit.' Most likely, it's true.

Before reaching the realm of the heavenly spirit, he temporarily focused on physical cultivation, and after he reached the realm of the heavenly spirit, he began to try to start the dual cultivation of the body and sword. Above the Heavenly Spirit Realm, Mo Tong still knows nothing. But judging from the experience of his previous life, the physical cultivation below the Heavenly Spirit was indeed stronger than the sword cultivation. In his previous life, if he had been an individual cultivator, he was afraid that he would have been able to break through the Nine Star Earth Spirit earlier.
