In the battle with Gu Fengli, Gu Zheng gained a lot, not the so-called top ten in the mainland, nor in the massive wealth and resources in Gu Fengli's bone ring, his biggest gain was the animal skin scroll printed with the words 'Extreme Sword Dao'.

The evolution of the sword path totem, Gu Zheng only listened to people's words in the past, and he didn't know what it was, until he fought with Gu Fengli this time, he was vaguely aware of the changes on the totem.

And this method of change, Gu Zheng believes, must be related to this animal skin scroll.

Unlike Ji Minggu, who was so excited that he couldn't wait to immediately announce the world, when he returned to Xuelong Island that day, Gu Zheng did not preside over the island's chores anymore, and successively picked the two major culprits of the Xinghuo Sword Mansion and the Gu Clan's Sword Mansion, and he believed that Bai Feng and the others could handle the next endgame.

Gu Zheng returned directly to the Jingyue Ancient Mansion, sat cross-legged on the futon, and after calming down, he took out the wrench-shaped bone ring.

Taking out the most precious animal skin scroll from the bone ring, as well as a jade slip placed together with the animal skin scroll, Gu Zheng certainly recognized that this was a jade slip that passed on the merits.

But this jade slip and this animal skin scroll are put together, I am afraid that there is also some connection between the two, so Gu Zheng will take one out together.

Cautiously opened the animal skin scroll, Gu Zheng looked at it, and there were only sixteen words full of ancient meaning on it-

The road is simple, tracing back to the roots. Hide the edge in the sword, accumulate thick and thin.

These sixteen words, each word Gu Zheng recognized, and it is not obscure when they are connected together. However, Gu Zheng was still confused, and it was difficult to connect with the evolution method above the kendo totem.

"The road is simple, tracing back to the source? Could it be that my previous understanding is wrong? After the kendo totem, it is not to integrate the changes of the heavenly phenomena, but to do the opposite, and deduce and simplify?" Gu Zheng calmed down and began to carefully scrutinize the deep meaning between the lines, wanting to find the mystery.

"If what I think is right, then what I say later, hidden in the sword, thick and thin, how to understand it? Could it be that it is a kind of hidden clumsy wonderland......" Gu Zheng vaguely felt that his deliberation had not deviated.

But even if his understanding is really not wrong. However, how to start cultivating this so-called tracing back to the roots and hiding the edge in the sword?

On this point, there is no mention of it on the animal skin scroll, and the meaning of the words on it only expresses the state after the totem, and does not specify how to achieve that state.

The avenue is difficult and dangerous, if Gu Zheng has a wrong thought and makes a mistake in cultivation, I am afraid that it will not only be embarrassing to get twice the result with half the effort, but it will also cause him to fall short or even go mad.

Therefore, even if Gu Zheng had some guesses, he didn't dare to try them at will, so he could only continue to think about them in order to find a perfect way.

"By the way, look at that jade slip. After a long time, Gu Zheng suddenly thought of the jade slip that was placed with the animal skin scroll.

Crushing the jade slip, there is no swordsmanship inheritance, and some are just a message from Gu Fengli, which entered Gu Zheng's mind.

"I am Gu Fengli, the nineteenth lord of the Gu Clan's Sword Mansion, and I have been ...... since I became the lord of the mansion."

This is a self-description of Gu Fengli, talking about his great achievements after breaking through the earth in middle age and serving as the master of the Gu Clan's Sword Mansion. In this paragraph, Gu Zheng ignored it by himself, and was not interested in Gu Fengli's boasting.

"After the war of gods and demons, the Sword Yuan Continent is in ruins, the inheritance of swordsmanship is nine out of ten, and the evolution of the sword totem is even more difficult to see.

My Gu Clan's Sword Mansion has a long history, and although I don't know its roots, I have the secrets of inheritance that are difficult for others to reach.

The world only knows that there are more profound changes in the kendo totem, but they don't know the truth. The sixteen-character mantra passed down by the Gu clan is the real totem evolution extreme.

It's just that in the past two thousand years, more than ten generations of Gu clan ancestors have not been able to understand the method of reaching the extreme realm of totem evolution. Only I, Gu Fengli, cultivated a sword, was not afraid of life and death, and finally realized.

The road is simple, tracing back to the roots. Hide the edge in the sword, accumulate thick and thin. What does it mean? Is it to deduce and refine the totem sword qi, hide it in the Xuanjian, and wait for the opportunity to move?

Yes! but no!

Someone in the Gu clan really did this, and the final result was that many seniors went crazy.

The predecessors were stupid, and after several failures, they thought that the sixteen characters were lies, and discarded them as if they were shoehorny, and even strictly forbade future generations to look at them.

How could I, Gu Fengli, be willing to cut off the path of the sword? So, after thinking and meditating, I finally found a glimmer of mystery.

In the world, the Xuan Sword Master uses the soul to control the sword, controls the qi with the sword, vaporizes the celestial phenomena, and enters the realm of the Daoda totem by means of the celestial phenomena.

Now, the predecessors have comprehended the sixteen-character mantra and want to hide the totem and celestial phenomena in a sword, which is tantamount to swallowing an elephant in a snake's mouth, and being greedy and excessive.

Therefore, I think that in the sixteen characters, tracing back to the root is the fundamental method of totem evolution.

Since it is impossible to swallow the elephant in one bite, it is better to practice the sword from the beginning, start from the introductory swordsmanship, and gradually cultivate the hidden blade and melt it into the Xuanjian.

With this in mind, I will pass on this method to the living ancestor of the Gu clan, hoping that he will join me in enlightenment.

Fortunately, this method is indeed feasible, but when the ancestor first became a god, he tried in vain to monopolize the fruits, kill me, and was finally killed by me.

Rejoice, sorrow!

The mystery of this method should not be passed on, otherwise it will be a disaster. ”

After reading Gu Fengli's abrupt explanation, Gu Zheng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Gu Fengli didn't do his best, he deliberately hid the so-called Hidden Edge Sword, but he just secretly used a few totemic changes. Through Gu Fengli's message, Gu Zheng knew that the other party must have cultivated the method of totem evolution.

If Gu Fengli had used it resolutely at the time of the battle at that time, regardless of the exposure, Gu Zheng would probably have had no chance to come up with a way to deal with it.

"Also, what Gu Fengli said later, I'm afraid it's also a little difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Gu Zheng thought of the Gu Ancestor who was killed by Gu Fengli, and couldn't help but secretly chill.

According to Gu Zheng's thoughts, Gu Fengli himself discovered the method of evolution on the totem, but he should not dare to try it himself, so he took the initiative to find the ancestor of the Gu family and wanted the other party to test the poison.

In the end, the Gu Clan Ancestor succeeded, but Gu Fengli wanted to swallow the fruit alone, or wanted to be the only one in the world to know this secret, so he plotted to kill the Gu Clan's Ancestor.

This point, from the last Gu Fengli's statement that 'it is not suitable to be passed on', can be verified to some extent.

If this law really spreads, how can it leave an endless legacy of misfortune? It should be for the benefit of all generations.

But no matter what, Gu Zheng now has to thank this Gu clan lord who is inconsistent with his words and deeds.

If it weren't for Gu Fengli's words, Gu Zheng would probably have to follow the old path of many predecessors of the Gu clan, and it would be difficult to say that he would eventually fall into the devil.

As for now, Gu Zheng has finally spied on the extreme realm of kendo and its cultivation method, according to Gu Fengli's words, he is 'very lucky'.
