Chapter 10: The Boy on the Sword Cliff and the Swords
Jiang Guodu, Langya City.
The south gate slope is more than ten miles away from the palace sword courtyard.
The morning sun swayed the earth.
After the big exam, the eight people who entered the inner courtyard to practice followed the teachings of the Four Realms and came to a mountain cliff.
This is the inner courtyard.
This cliff is called Sword Cliff, and it is a place where the famous sword left behind by the fall of the ancestors is stored.
Li Mengzhou didn't inherit the sword here, but he still appeared here.
The drizzle covering most of the entire Jiang country has stopped, but the sky is still foggy and full of humidity.
There is a long clear spring stream under the sword cliff, and the green mountains that glow with green spirit present the most magnificent and life-rich appearance.
Eight people stood on the bank of the stream.
In the distance, there were many inner courtyard disciples watching.
The Four Realms Sect Cultivator looked at the eight new disciples in front of him, and said with relief: "From now on, you are the disciples of the inner courtyard of the palace, if you perform well, maybe you can become a senior disciple under the dean's disciples, and become the fifth and sixth gentlemen in the sword courtyard, this is the goal that needs you to move forward." ”
In addition to He Zhengrong and Li Mengzhou, the other six people, including Shen Jiyue, were very excited, the gentleman in the Sword Academy, the dean's senior apprentice, that was the person who really stood on the peak, and he was a young man who was respected in the entire Jiang Kingdom.
The Four Realms Sect Xi smiled slightly, and said: "The mountain in front of you, called Sword Cliff, has countless natal swords left by the ancestors of the Sword Academy since the halfway up the mountain, and there are many famous swords brought back by the ancestors from outside, although it cannot be compared with the holy land of Sword Mountain in the Western Jin Dynasty, the Sword Cliff in my Sword Courtyard is also the place with the most famous swords in addition to Sword Mountain. ”
"There is a prohibition on the sword cliff, not deliberately left, but the sword intent of those swords that have lost their owners has been dispersed independently, and after a long period of accumulation, the sword formation has been formed. ”
"With your cultivation of the artistic conception, your life will not be in danger, unless you deliberately die, but don't have a fluke mentality. The sword intent on the sword cliff is very familiar with the aura of our Sword Academy disciples, so as long as there is no accident, the sword intent will not take the initiative to attack you. ”
"But if you want to pull out the sword from the cliff, it will not be easy. Therefore, you must be prepared to stay in Sword Cliff for a long time, and perhaps some of you will be lucky enough to find a sword that truly matches you and be recognized by these famous swords. ”
The Four Realms Sect Xi paused for a moment and continued: "But the reason why famous swords are famous swords is, of course, because they have a certain spirituality, and they are natal swords that have been through a hundred battles with their previous masters. It is definitely not an easy task to get the approval of these swords, and I estimate that you may have to stay in the Sword Cliff for half a month, or even a month, or even longer. ”
"However, I naturally hope that you can all climb the Sword Cliff soon and come back with the sword soon, I will explain to you in detail one by one the things that should be paid attention to, after all, the Sword Academy does not want you to have any accidents in the Sword Cliff, although there are few special cases of accidents in the past, but you should also pay special attention. ”
The Four Realms Sect looked at the young people who were already faintly gearing up, and said with a smile: "I look forward to you being able to find your own natal sword and truly turn it into your own natal sword, although the sword array on the sword cliff is blocking your steps to climb the mountain, but if you are lucky, you can comprehend the sword intent on the mountain, and it is not impossible to break through the realm." ”
......
The Four Realms taught in detail the places that need to be paid attention to, and the teenagers began to climb the mountain to get their swords.
Li Mengzhou did not climb the mountain.
The Four Realms Sect knew that Li Mengzhou had found his natal sword, but he still suggested: "Although you don't need to pull out the sword on the sword cliff, you can also follow them to climb the mountain, you have just broken into the Chengyi Upper Realm, even if the possibility of wanting to break through the realm again is not great, but if you can understand the sword intent left by your ancestors, maybe it will also be beneficial to your cultivation, at least it can enhance your sword intent." ”
Li Mengzhou was quite moved.
Originally, in his mind, since he didn't plan to inherit the sword on the Sword Cliff, then mountaineering was just a waste of time, and as the Four Realms taught and said, even if he couldn't break through the realm, he could increase his speed close to breaking through the realm and improve his sword intent.
The sword intent of each sword is different, mostly inherited from the character of the sword owner, but the sword intent can devour each other, the powerful sword intent can devour the weak sword intent, and the weak sword intent will only be countered if it wants to devour the stronger sword intent, and it will be completely dissipated in the human world.
But Li Mengzhou felt that the Drunken Dream Sword was not an ordinary sword, and the cultivation of the "Silkworm Annihilation Scroll" could enhance and replenish the mental power he consumed, perhaps even if he encountered a strong sword intent, he would not have no chance to swallow it.
Although this is just a very imperfect idea, Li Mengzhou wants to gamble.
And since the idea appeared, it has become stronger and stronger, lingering in my mind.
He Zhengrong and Shen Jiyue and the others had already climbed to the foot of the mountain, their speed was very slow, they were suppressed by the sword array, making it difficult for them to move an inch, and the higher they went, the stronger the sword intent became, if there was not enough mental support, when the body could not hold on, the spirit would also collapse and become sluggish.
Therefore, the pace of mountaineering should be steady rather than fast, the higher the cultivation, the stronger the mental power, the more relaxed it will naturally be, He Zhengrong is the first to bear the brunt, followed by the two sword cultivators and Shen Jiyue who have entered the upper realm of Chengyi.
Li Mengzhou was about to climb the mountain, when he suddenly remembered something, paused at his feet, looked back at the Four Realms Teacher, and said, "If I devour the sword intent of those swords on the Sword Cliff, it will not be considered as destroying the property of the Sword Academy." ”
Once the ethereal sword intent is devoured, it will naturally disappear into this world, but if the sword itself of the sword intent carrier still exists, and the sword intent is forcibly extracted, the famous sword will easily become scrap metal, and it will take more time to recondense the sword intent at the least, or it will collapse directly.
Many of the swords on the sword cliff were left behind by the ancestors in the sword courtyard when they fell, and they naturally belonged to the precious wealth of the sword courtyard, if there was no sword in the sword courtyard, it must be a very serious matter.
Li Mengzhou didn't care about the life or death of these swords, but he was a little concerned about the Leaving Palace Sword Academy.
The Four Realms Sect looked at Li Mengzhou in surprise.
He didn't expect Li Mengzhou to have the idea of wanting to devour these sword intents.
The sword intent condensed by sword cultivation and the sword qi cut out by ordinary cultivators are two completely different things, from the subtlety of swordsmanship to the gathering of sword momentum is the basis of sword cultivation, only when the sword intent is condensed and the vision is manifested, is a qualified sword cultivator.
Most of today's sword cultivation is in this realm, and then the upper Yuncheng sword heart, but only a very few people in the world can do it, of course, the girl in the Sword Pavilion of the Western Jin Dynasty who was born to reach the realm of sword heart is a special case.
Sword cultivators who are generally in the realm of sword intent manifestation can naturally devour the sword intent left behind between heaven and earth, but it will be accompanied by great danger, if there is no absolute confidence, no sword cultivator will do this easily, even if they really want to devour, they will choose a sword intent that is more suitable for their character.
If you forcibly devour all kinds of sword intent, the mental disorder is small, and the worst thing is that you will fall into the devil and explode and die.
Devouring Sword Intent is the fastest way to improve one's sword intent, but it is also the easiest way to bury oneself.
Unless it is a sword heart, this danger can be greatly avoided.
But looking at this piece of heaven and earth, the existence of cultivating a sword heart, all hands can be counted, and there is only one sword immortal. In the era when sword cultivation was still prosperous, not too many people dared to do this, let alone a period when sword cultivation was withering and even sword hearts were rare.
In addition to these, most of the existences that can devour the sword intent have at least entered the peak of the Wuzhang Realm, otherwise there is no strong strength as a foundation, and absorbing other people's sword intent is purely an act of looking for death.
Li Mengzhou is only a mere commitment to the upper realm, and he is still far away from the Wuzhang realm, not to mention the peak of the four realms.
The teacher shook his head and said, "At what stage, don't do anything that is beyond your ability, unless you are forced to do it. Devouring Sword Intent will make you stronger for a short period of time, but I don't recommend it. Of course, I wouldn't have any opinion if you think it is feasible for yourself, but only if you can only devour a maximum of three swords. ”
It's not that the Four Realms Sect is looking forward to Li Mengzhou's death, but he doesn't think it's impossible at all, if Li Mengzhou really wants to devour the sword intent, he can also know it as soon as possible, enough to save people, if he can't let him know the danger of doing this, I believe it will be difficult for Li Mengzhou to give up this idea.
At the same time, we must also teach by example, and the rest is for the disciples to comprehend.
Li Mengzhou got the answer, so he turned around and climbed the mountain very decisively.
He naturally knew the danger of devouring the sword intent, not to mention that those swords in the Sword Cliff were all natal swords left over from the ancestors, when these ancestors fell, the lowest cultivation was also in the realm of no manifestation, and there was even no lack of power in the five realms.
But he was still determined to give it a try.
Looking at Li Mengzhou's back, the Four Realms Sect slowly shook his head, ready to save people at any time.
According to the reaction, it was not difficult for him to guess Li Mengzhou's thoughts at the moment.
Among the disciples in the outer courtyard of the palace, Li Mengzhou is definitely a leader, and originally this Four Realms Sect still admires this young man.
But obviously, in his current opinion, Li Mengzhou's mind still needs to be honed, and his ideas are a little too unrealistic.
Li Mengzhou didn't know that this Four Realms Sect had changed his mind, standing at the foot of the mountain, looking at the young people climbing the mountain in front of him, He Zhengrong was already approaching halfway up the mountain, and his speed had slowed down significantly.
And the two Chengyi Upper Realm Senior Brothers who followed closely behind had already had a big distance from He Zhengrong, Shen Jiyue was even more backward, and the rest of them were half a catty and eight taels, compared to Shen Jiyue, there was still a gap of more than ten steps.
