Chapter 314: The road is long and long
Even those most powerful swordsmen in history, such as the Sword Saint Pei Xu, or Mu Chenyi among the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, must have greatly reduced their strength when they lose their swords, let alone Gu Zhixing?
The portable sword is originally a part of the swordsman's body, and a swordsman without a sword can still be called a swordsman?
Therefore, in this quarterfinals, Gu Zhixing lost without surprise.
But on Murong's late face, there was no joy of victory.
Because he didn't expect that this kendo martial idiot, who was not yet twenty years old, would be able to force himself to this point!
In a sense, Murong also lost when he returned later.
Because at the moment when he stretched out his finger and shattered Gu Zhixing's sword, he exposed one of his most powerful hole cards.
This hole card was originally prepared by him for Zhao Chen.
The reason why the hole cards are called hole cards is that they need to be hidden until the last moment in order to give the enemy the greatest surprise.
It's a pity that Murong Wangui didn't be able to wait until that time.
The people watching the battle in Sunset Valley today were all geniuses with names and surnames in the cultivation world, they might not be able to see through Mo Yuan's small tricks, but it was impossible for them not to know what Murong Wangui had done at that moment just now.
The reason why Murong Wangui was able to decide the outcome of this battle in an instant, and completely killed Gu Zhixing's hope of further progress with a devastating force at the last moment, was not due to the strength of his spiritual power.
In other words, it has nothing to do with the two spirits in him.
He used pure physical power!
The people who had seen Mo Yuan's two consecutive rounds of amazing performances a moment ago had just connected Mo Yuan with Wang Wu among the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest in the past, but it was only at this moment that they realized that they were wrong.
Couldn't be more wrong.
The reason why Mo Yuan can be compared to Wang Wu. is because he, like Wang Wu, experienced a long period of silence before becoming famous in World War I.
Before that, no one in the world could know you.
After this battle, who in the world dares not to know you?
The difference is that Wang Wu followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the world before he did so. After more than sixty years of unknown nationality, Mo Yuan has only been silent for more than ten years.
But after Murong Wangui downplayed the earthquake and shattered Gu Zhixing's portable sword, people knew that it turned out that Murong Wangui was more like Wang Wu five hundred years ago!
Because he followed Wang Wu's way of cultivation!
One of the most important iron laws in the cultivation world is that before the imperial rank, within the same realm, martial cultivation is stronger than spiritual cultivation, and after the imperial rank. Spiritual cultivation is stronger than martial cultivation.
From a certain point of view, the threshold of martial arts is lower and the results are higher, but if you want to stand at a higher level and aspire to become the leading powerhouse in the cultivation world, then stepping into the spiritual path is the most correct choice.
How to balance the two depends on each person's choice and goal.
But now it seems that Murong Wangui has found a more suitable path for himself.
At the same time as learning the spiritual way, he boiled the flesh!
Benefits of doing so: Not only can he have enough confidence to deal with the martial cultivation in the same realm before the imperial rank, but he can also make up for the biggest shortcoming of spiritual cultivation.
It is the weakness of the spirit itself after the spirit thing leaves the body!
Murong Wangui was not the first to do so. Looking back at the 500-year history of the Dajin Dynasty, in fact, there have been many cultivators who have seen this broad road.
From another point of view, in fact, this is similar to the dual cultivation of spirit and martial arts, except that they have given up the practice of martial arts techniques, do not control the Dao, and only focus on boiling the physical body.
The advantage of this is that it saves a lot of time in practice. Focus more on the development of the spiritual path, and avoid the possibility of stopping at the holy level because the two spiritual and martial paths are parallel.
But why are there so few spiritual practitioners today who do this?
Naturally, this is because there are inherent drawbacks in this approach.
In the long history of human cultivation, the reason why Wang Wu is the only legendary powerhouse who has been sanctified in the flesh is because the development potential of the qi sea and spiritual aperture in the human body is almost unlimited. But the space for physical enhancement is limited.
Even Wang Wu actually failed to break through the limit of human physical strength, because if he really broke through, then he would inevitably explode and die.
Moreover, for Wang Wu, achieving the Holy Rank was already the end of the cultivation path that he could touch, and until the last moment before his death, he could not break through the Holy Rank and be reborn at dawn.
So if you look at it from this point of view, in fact, the result of boiling the physical body is not as good as the dual cultivation of spiritual martial arts!
If a cultivator wants to break through to the Holy Rank, or even a higher level than the Holy Rank, he must not make this choice!
Because of this, Murong Wangui had previously crushed Gu Zhixing with his pure physical strength, which surprised the world so much.
Could it be that Murong Wangui gave up his pursuit of the Holy Dao?
Did he take the initiative to block his hope of sanctification for the sake of temporary strength?
As the heir of the Murong family, the leading genius boy in the Heavenly Star Academy within a hundred years, his vision should never be so short-sighted!
So the only possible ......
Could it be that Murong Wangui found a way to break through the limits of his physical body?
The rise of this thought made many of the cultivators present tremble, because if their guess was true, I am afraid that Murong Wangui would create a new Spirit Dao Dynasty!
For a moment, the eyes of the people who looked at Murong Wan's return were all shocked, even more intense than when they had witnessed Mo Yuan taming the ten spirit leopards before.
Because the achievements of the two are not at the same level at all!
In this regard, Murong Wangui did not leave half an explanation, because there was no need, he just shook his head helplessly, and then walked down from the battle platform and set his eyes on the second battle platform where Zhao Chen was.
Before the start of this Spring Festival, after Pei Yuanji fell to Buju Mountain, everyone in the world thought that the only person who could prevent Murong from returning late to gain the leader of the personal battle must be Zhao Chen.
But in fact, Murong Wangui knew very well that if he really relied on the strength of both sides, Zhao Chen was not his opponent at all.
Not to mention that Zhao Chen has never been in the top five on the Jinyun list, in terms of the performance of these two games alone, Zhao Chen is far away from the former Pei Yuanji, not to mention Murong's late return?
But Murong didn't dare to take it lightly at all.
Not because of Zhao Chen's strength, but because of his identity.
Because he is His Royal Highness King Ning, he is the dignified Nine Emperors.
If in the next competition, he Murong Wangui dared to hurt Zhao Chen's life, of course, there would be no problem in the rules of Chunqiu, but in the world, this is a big trouble!
Not only will it bring trouble to itself, but it will also bring trouble to the Murong family and the Heavenly Star Academy!
Therefore, Murong Wangui specially prepared this hole card for Zhao Chen, hoping to capture Zhao Chen by surprise when the two were fighting, and not even give the other party a chance to fight.
It's a pity that Murong's plan to return late was invalidated because of Gu Zhixing's appearance.
Well, then, things get a little tricky......
Thinking of this, Murong Wangui subconsciously rubbed his fingers, and then very vaguely cast a meaningful glance at the young man who was unfortunately defeated in the top 16 battle not far away.
