Chapter 5: The Unity of Heaven and Man

Early the next morning, Gu Chen first meditated and practiced for a while.

What Gu Chen practiced was the Gu family's superior exercise "Kun Yuan Decision", the grade was the lower grade of the ground level, which was the Gu family town gate exercise, and matched with the lower grade martial art "Kun Yuan Palm".

Generally speaking, the exercises are used to refine the aura of heaven and earth and transform it into the yuan force in the monk's body, when the yuan force accumulates to a certain extent, it can impact the next realm, and the more advanced the exercise, the more effective it can be to refine the aura of heaven and earth and store more yuan power.

Martial arts are a technique that uses Yuan Force, and different martial arts can be converted into various attacks to fight.

Of course, there are also body martial arts, which use yuan force to increase speed, with specific footwork, so that the user's body shape is varied, making the enemy unpredictable.

Two hours later, Gu Chen got up.

Normally, he would still have to practice martial arts after this, but today he was going to go to the library to find another sword martial art, so he simply packed up and went out.

After a while, Gu Chen came to a quaint pavilion, only to see that its plaque had three big characters written on it.

At this time, the library was very deserted, and there was no figure in it except for rows of bookshelves.

It wasn't the first time Gu Chen had come here, so he naturally knew that the Library Pavilion was guarded, and it was usually guarded by the second, third, and fourth elders in turn.

"It's Gu Chen, why did you come to the Library Pavilion so early" Sure enough, a voice came from the corner at this time.

When Gu Chen heard the prestige, he saw that it was an old man in black, about seventy years old, with gray hair and a relatively thin body.

The old man was sitting on a futon in front of a bookshelf, and Gu Chen hadn't noticed it before.

"I've seen the second grandfather, it turns out that today is your guard in the library pavilion, hey, I got a spirit weapon sword yesterday, so I want to come and find a suitable sword technique" Gu Chen said to the old man after saluting.

The old man is the second elder of the Gu family, the second elder is the younger brother of Gu Chen's grandfather, the father of the fourth uncle Gu Qinghe, and the grandfather of Gu Wen and Gu Wu. is usually very close to Gu Chen, so in private, Gu Chen calls him the second grandfather.

"Oh, spirit weapon, that's really congratulations, tell me what type of sword skill you want to find, I'll help you find it," the second elder said with a smile.

"Then thank you Second Grandpa, that's the case, my sword has the effect of increasing the power of sword skills. However, the sword body is more fragile than ordinary low-grade spirit weapons, so it is best to find a sword skill that can attack from a distance," Gu Chen said to the second elder.

"Hmm... Long-distance attack sword skills, the high-grade wind sword is a copy, and the power is also very good. But you seem to already know how to, and it's just a trick... Oh, there you have it, then pick it."

The second elder pondered for a while, and then seemed to suddenly think of something and then said.

After that, he got up and walked to the second floor.

After a while, the second elder took a martial arts cheatbook and handed it to Gu Chen, and then said, "This 'Kun Yuan Sword Gang' should be very suitable for you."

"Is there any connection between Kun Yuan Jian Gang and the body protection qi recorded in Kun Yuan's decision?" Gu Chen asked suspiciously after hearing this.

What he cultivates is Kun Yuan Jue, Kun Yuan Jue is the most famous exercise of the Gu family, and after cultivating to the Ground Rank Thousand Change Realm, he can cultivate the Protective Body Gang Qi to protect himself, and he is enough to deal with the ordinary lower-grade martial arts.

"Naturally, there is a connection, but the difference is that the body protection is guarding, and this Kun Yuan Gang is attacking. ”

"My Gu family has practiced Kun Yuan Jue and Kun Yuan Palm for generations, and eighty years ago, a senior in the clan named Gu Shengyun combined a part of Kun Yuan Jue's body protection Gang Qi with a part of the essence of Kun Yuan Palm's hand to create a martial art that can cover Gang Qi on weapons.

"The weapon will increase its strength with the blessing of Gang Qi, and it can easily break the opponent's body protection true qi, although it is not a long-range attack martial art, but this should be what you want," the second elder explained to Gu Chen.

"The martial art that increases the strength of the weapon? It's really amazing, that senior is really talented. I don't know what grade this Kunyuan Sword Gang can be regarded as?" Gu Chen couldn't help asking.

I really admire that senior's ability to combine martial arts with the essence of the exercises to create new martial arts.

"Kun Yuan Jian Gang is a martial art that belongs to the auxiliary type. The grade should be around the human level, the exercise you are cultivating is Kun Yuan Jue, and it shouldn't be too difficult to cultivate Kun Yuan Sword Gang," the second elder touched his beard and said.

"That's great, but you have to find another sword skill, otherwise you may not be able to win the competition with the Huang family with just a sword of the wind."

Gu Chen was happy at first, and then said with a serious face.

"That's it, I picked it for you just now, and I'm guaranteed to be even happier after reading this one. ”

"This sword skill grade is a low-level grade, and it is the only earth-level sword skill of the Gu family. This sword technique is more difficult to cultivate, focusing on sword strength, and others will not be able to appreciate its essence for a year or two, but I believe that you are different from others."

The second elder said with a smile, and at the same time took out a copy of the "Canghai Sword Technique".

"Ground-level martial arts! This should be difficult to practice, but there is still a month to compete with the Huang family, second grandfather, you can really look up to me"

Gu Chen smiled bitterly, he hadn't practiced ground-level martial arts before.

"This is not confident, you are the first person in the Gu family to practice the Blue Shadow Streamer Body Method, you won't be stumped by the low-grade martial arts. Besides, it's not that you need to practice to a small or even a big success in a month, as long as you practice the Canghai swordsmanship to the level of a little peeking at the door, it is enough to deal with that kid of the Huang family. Don't worry, take it to practice, if you don't understand, come and ask me," the second elder said with a teasing expression.

That's right, I have even practiced the mid-grade martial arts of the heavenly rank, and I am afraid that the low-grade martial arts of the lower level will not be successful, Gu Chen is instantly full of confidence.

Gu Chen took the Canghai Sword Technique, thanked the Second Elder, and then went back with the two cheats.

The direct children of the Gu family do not need to exchange contribution points for martial arts, which is a privilege given to them by the family.

Back in the small courtyard, Gu Chen couldn't wait to open Kunyuan Jiangang and study, and didn't stop until noon when someone brought a meal.

Smelling the smell of food, Gu Chen felt a little hungry, he only ate something casually on the way when he came back from the Chamber of Commerce last night, and he didn't eat this morning, thinking that he missed the food delivery when he went to the library pavilion.

Breakfast is still on the table, and when I came back, I was so focused on my newfound martial arts that I hadn't eaten.

Gu Chen asked his subordinates to take away the breakfast, then opened the noon meal and devoured it.

After eating lunch, Gu Chen cultivated against the Kun Yuan Jiangang cheats.

According to the cheats, the first step is to transform Yuan Li into Gang Qi.

Gu Chen came to the courtyard and raised his right hand to stretch out his index finger and middle finger, using Yuan Force to condense it on his two fingers.

Silently used the method on the cheats to try to transform the Yuan Force, but there was no change.

But Gu Chen was not discouraged, this was also a part of the ground-level exercises and martial arts, how could he practice so quickly, so he practiced it over and over again.

It wasn't until the evening that Gu Chen finally succeeded in transforming Yuan Li into Gang Qi, although it was only a trace of...

But this is a good beginning, as the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, is it easy to spend a short time at the beginning, and then Gu Chen only needs to condense more Gang Qi, and then he can try to cover it on the weapon.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, Gu Chen opened the courtyard door, and saw that it was Steward Fu.

"I've seen Young Master Gu Chen," Steward Fu bowed.

"Butler Fu is exempt from courtesy, I don't know what is important," Gu Chen asked.

"The head of the family and the elders have decided to hold a meeting tomorrow morning, and the venue is the martial arts arena in the outer courtyard, and the old slave has come to inform the young master," Steward Fu said.

"Okay, I see," Gu Chen nodded in response.

Steward Fu took his leave and left.

Gu Chen thought to himself: At this time, I think the meeting was held to compete with the Huang family, but why was the meeting held in the outer courtyard, didn't it be necessary for the children of the side family to participate in the past? It's really strange, is there something else important? No matter what, I will naturally know when the time comes.

After dinner, Gu Chen continued to practice Kun Yuan Jiangang for a while before stopping.

Because his fingers were already faintly painful, it seemed that his cultivation had been overdone today.

Gang Qi has to be accumulated slowly, and he still understands the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it.

Now that he's got the hang of it, he just has to stick to it, and it won't take long to get it done.

Seeing that it was still early at this time, he took out the secret book of the Canghai Sword Technique and studied it, and after a while, he had his own experience.

The Canghai Sword Technique is aimed at the word "potential".

When attacking, you can use your own momentum, sword after sword, sword after sword, sword after sword, and overwhelm the enemy with the momentum of destroying withering and decaying.

When the main defense is to take advantage of the enemy's momentum, borrow the strength to fight, the enemy decreases and we increase, and then counterattacks with a surprise momentum.

After comprehending the main point, Gu Chen no longer hesitated, picked up the Flowing Firefly Sword and danced in the courtyard.

As Gu Chen's first sword stabbed out, he entered a magical realm, as if he was one with heaven and earth.

He felt like he was no longer in the courtyard, but in the middle of the ocean.

With the flow of the sea, he waved the long sword in his hand, and the long sword stirred up waves with a swing.

Another sword turned into a whirlpool, and the swordsmanship was sword after sword, without any gaps, and the sword moves were becoming more and more mature.

In the courtyard, I saw Gu Chen waving his long sword over and over again as if he was enchanted, but his eyes were closed.

Things in the courtyard were in shambles under the wielding of his long sword, but his sword skills were indeed sharper.

In the end, the clouds and water that have been practiced are as smooth as water, when they are fast, they are like a storm, and when they are slow, they seem to be as immobile as a mountain.

As Gu Chen once again used the Canghai Sword Technique from beginning to end, this time the Sword Technique was already natural, and there was no trace of deliberateness.

Then Gu Chen's hands and feet weakened and he knelt on the ground. At this time, he woke up from a dream and stopped, as if he was in a dream.

"What the hell is going on, is everything that just happened true, I have practiced the Canghai Sword Technique? Am I dreaming?... It hurts, is it true, no matter what, don't you know if you practice again?"

Gu Chen muttered to himself suspiciously, only to see him suddenly twist his thigh hard.

Just do it, just after doing the Canghai Sword Technique, Gu Chen continued to practice like instinct.

The swordsmanship is still natural, it is actually the image of the swordsmanship, even the swordsmanship of the second elder is only to this extent.

Gu Chen accepted the invitation and stood up, ecstatic.

Could it be that he has just inadvertently entered the realm of the unity of heaven and man that the monk dreamed of!

This state is unattainable, and when the state of unity between heaven and man is one, one can see through the essence of all things, so that the ability to learn and comprehend is greatly improved.

Many people may not be able to enter this state in their entire lives, but they didn't expect Gu Chen to enter the realm of the unity of heaven and man in the soul casting realm.

Then Gu Chen found that the harvest of the unity of heaven and man this time was not only to practice the Canghai Sword Technique, but also to feel that his soul seemed to have been sublimated, and his soul power had skyrocketed by about fifty percent compared to before, and his facial features were also a lot more sensitive.

But the strange thing is that the realm has not increased at all, it stands to reason that the soul casting realm is mainly about soul power, followed by yuan power.

The enhancement of soul power should be accompanied by the improvement of the realm, but he is still a cultivator in the early stage of the soul casting realm, could it be that the accumulation of yuan power is not enough?

It seems that tomorrow I will have to ask the Great Elder, who is well-informed and may be able to understand the mystery.

"Awake?" At this moment, a deep voice came from a corner of the wall of the small courtyard.

"Who is it!" Gu Chen was suddenly startled.

"Hehe, Chen'er, don't be nervous. You practiced too much last night, so I came over to take a look, but I didn't expect to let me see the legendary realm of the unity of heaven and man, so I set up an enchantment to protect the Dharma for you so that no one would disturb you" A figure jumped down from the wall.

The man who came was dressed in a purple robe, and looked like he was in his forties. has an outstanding temperament, distinct facial features, and gives people a feeling of not being angry and self-assured, and his appearance is somewhat similar to Gu Qianjiang.

"It turned out to be an uncle, it scared me, but... Last night, uh, it's dawn..."

Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was his uncle, that is, Gu Sihai, the head of the Gu family, and then found that the night had passed unconsciously, and the sky had been slightly lit up at this time.

"So the uncle has seen it all?" Gu Chen asked Gu Sihai.

"Yes, it is worthy of the realm of the unity of heaven and man. It actually allowed you to practice a low-grade martial art to the fullest overnight, and others may not be able to achieve such an achievement in ten years or decades," Gu Sihai nodded and sighed, with a hint of envy in his words.

"Good luck, haha, by the way, is the uncle the only one who found the abnormality?" Gu Chen smiled and looked around strangely.

"I was close to you at the time, so I found out in time, and later used Yuan Li to arrange an enchantment to block this place. In the Gu family, unless the Great Elder deliberately investigates, he can only detect it, and others can't find it. Gu Sihai said confidently.

Gu Chen thought about it, Uncle was a powerhouse in the Third Realm of the Thousand Changes. The enchantment arranged in the Thousand Changing Realm is difficult for monks with low realms to detect. Except for the Great Elder of the same realm, but the Great Elder lives far away, so it is naturally difficult to find out.

Gu Chen then thought of the fact that his soul power had skyrocketed, but his realm had not improved in the slightest, and asked Gu Sihai.

"Oh, the soul power has increased by as much as fifty percent, this is the biggest gain, although it can't be reflected for the time being, but when your realm is high, you will understand its effect."

As for the fact that the realm has not been improved at the same time, there is no need to care, because this increase in soul power is a benefit brought about by the unity of heaven and man, not a cultivation gain. Therefore, it is natural that the realm has not been improved, you just need to know that your soul power will far exceed that of the same level in the future. Gu Sihai said slowly after a deep groan.

"I see" Gu Chen nodded, already having a rough idea of what the situation was.

"Chen'er, you have gained a lot this time, and your strength has been improved again and again in a short period of time recently, but your mood must also keep up. ”

"I won't say much else, I'm sure you're tired of hearing from your father and the elders. If you haven't slept all night, hurry up and rest, you don't have to attend the conference today, I think someone will come to you after the conference."

After Gu Sihai finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Thank you uncle for your teachings and concern, Gu Chen will definitely live up to the expectations of the elders," Gu Chen hurriedly bowed and bowed.
