Chapter 069: Xi Jian
The Sword Washing Cliff is a place where the disciples of the Sword Pavilion have practiced swords, but since the head of the contemporary Sword Pavilion had an epiphany here twenty years ago, it has become a holy place for sword cultivators to comprehend the way of the sword.
Under the sword washing cliff, Zhang Shuo was looking up, and he could vaguely see the missing half of the mountain from the dense fog, which was said to have been cut off by the master's sword.
Speaking of master, Zhang Shuo didn't expect that he would be so easy to worship a great cultivation sect like the Sword Pavilion, and he would also become the head of the family!
Think back to the protagonists in those Xianxia novels, which one didn't go through hardships and hardships to worship the cultivation sect? And after these protagonists entered the cultivation sect, they were either outer disciples or lowly miscellaneous servants, how could there be someone like Zhang Shuo who was the head of the family from the beginning?
The only thing that surprised Zhang Shuo was that after apprenticeship, the head did not let him transfer to other exercises, but let him continue to practice the "Spirit Turtle Swallowing Moon Method".
Whenever Zhang Shuo asked how to solve the problem of insufficient spiritual power, this cheap master always smiled and said nothing, looking like a heavenly opportunity that could not be revealed, which made Zhang Shuo a little inexplicable.
Although the exercises of cultivation have not changed, as a disciple of the Sword Pavilion, the sword must still be learned.
Zhang Shuo now has the power of the Grandmaster realm, but he doesn't have the skills to exert this power, just like an AWM heavy sniper on a tabula rasa, he can only exert his due power after having an eightfold mirror!
Under the sword washing cliff, Zhang Shuo could see the dense sword marks on the cliff wall, these sword marks were disorderly, as if children were slashing indiscriminately, but after careful observation, Zhang Shuo found that these sword marks were of different depths, although they were messy, but there were other mysteries.
Looking at these messy sword marks, Zhang Shuo took out the Clear Sky Sword and waved it in imitation of the trajectory of these sword marks.
Suddenly, just after Zhang Shuo waved the long sword in his hand, a special will came from the sword marks, which seemed to tell Zhang Shuo how this sword should be swung, and Zhang Shuo's body also made a corresponding sword swinging posture very cooperatively!
Seeing this situation, Zhang Shuo's eyes lit up, this situation is very similar to his inheritance, could it be that every sword mark is the inheritance of a sword move?
Then Zhang Shuo looked at another sword mark, and sure enough, just when he wanted to swing the sword, this sword mark also passed on to him a sword move!
However, after learning a few sword moves, Zhang Shuo gave up the idea of continuing to learn, because the sword moves here were too low-level and not suitable for him at all.
Zhang Shuo, who has the strength of a grandmaster, can easily swing his sword twelve times in one second, and even his most basic sword swing can bring out a subtle wind, so ordinary sword moves are not only useless for Zhang Shuo, but a drag.
To Zhang Shuo's level, the speed at which an ordinary person swings his sword is like a snail in his eyes, so the moves that the sword marks passed to him are very uncomfortable to use, as if he is bound to his hands and feet, and he can't even use one-tenth of his strength.
Turning his head, Zhang Shuo looked not far from his side, it was the entrance of a plank road, the plank road was carved into a mountain, in a zigzag shape, leading to the top of the cliff.
Zhang Shuo did not hesitate at all, and walked up step by step on the plank road.
As Zhang Shuo climbed up the steps step by step, the sword marks on the cliff wall became more and more sparse, Zhang Shuo would stop every time he turned a corner, comprehend the moves in the sword marks, and after feeling that the moves were not suitable for him, he would give up his comprehension and continue to move forward.
Finally, after Zhang Shuo turned the fourth corner, some changes occurred in the moves in the sword marks.
After the fourth turn of the plank road, there will be a sword mark on the cliff wall every three or five steps, and when Zhang Shuo comprehended the first sword mark, he found that this sword mark was different.
In Zhang Shuo's opinion, the last sword mark of the third turn is a world of difference compared to the first sword mark of the fourth turn, the former is just an ordinary sword move, while the latter is a complete set of swordsmanship!
That's right, after the fourth turn, just a sword mark allowed Zhang Shuo to comprehend a complete set of swordsmanship!
A complete set of swordsmanship, including two parts of sword moves and body techniques, sword moves are dead, only with body techniques, in order to make the moves ever-changing, the mystery is endless.
This set of swordsmanship is wide open and closed, domineering and unparalleled, every move and style carries the power of a thousand jun, with the body method, it can attack and defend, mellow and free, and can perfectly exert the power of the grandmaster's body.
Zhang Shuo tried to compare, and found that he was a little unsuitable for this kind of wide-open and closed way, he felt that the person who used this set of swordsmanship was better to be a reckless man with muscles, and he still liked to be more dexterous in swordsmanship.
Fortunately, there were seventy or eighty sword marks on the plank road on the fourth floor, and Zhang Shuo tried them one by one, and finally found a set of swordsmanship he liked.
This set of swordsmanship has no name, Zhang Shuo named it "Clear Sky Swordsmanship", that's right, when Zhang Shuo saw this set of swordsmanship for the first time, he felt that this set of swordsmanship and his own Clear Sky Sword were a perfect match!
Light and elegant, this is Zhang Shuo's only impression of this set of swordsmanship, this set of swordsmanship is not so much a swordsmanship, but a sword dance, after Zhang Shuo comprehended this set of swordsmanship, he instantly imagined that his clothes were fluttering, the sword light crossed a beautiful arc, and then elegantly harvested the picture of the head.
Originally, he found a suitable swordsmanship, Zhang Shuo should have stopped here and comprehended it carefully, but everyone would be curious, and Zhang Shuo was no exception.
Obviously found a swordsmanship that suited him, he still looked at the top of the cliff with a curious face, there was such a swordsmanship on the fourth layer of the plank road, so what would be on it?
With curiosity, Zhang Shuo continued to walk up, but when he came to the corner of the fifth floor plank road, he had just taken a step forward, and suddenly felt that the pores around his body seemed to be pricked by needles, and a sharp and cold will rushed into his brain, which immediately made him involuntarily retreat!
Standing on the fourth layer of the plank road, Zhang Shuo's cold sweat had already wet his clothes, with his current body has long been invasive, obviously, what happened on the fifth layer of the plank road just now is the reason for him to sweat.
Zhang Shuo knew what had just happened, on the fifth layer of the plank road, there was a huge spiritual power, this spiritual power was sharp and cold, and its owner was obviously a master who had cultivated to the point of combining God and Qi!
In the entire Sword Pavilion, the only one who has reached this step in cultivation should be Zhang Shuo's master, the head of the Sword Pavilion who has already touched the barrier of heaven and man.
Zhang Shuo understood that before his cultivation reached the unity of God and Qi, he would not be able to go up to this fifth layer plank road, so he could only stay in the fourth layer honestly, practicing the swordsmanship he had just obtained step by step.
