Li Mengzhou glared at Xiao Zhinan with some annoyance, and said angrily: "That is the sword qi of Xie Chunfeng, the chief disciple of the Immortal Mountain Sect, although my realm is low, I am not a waste of firewood, even if this sword has caused me very serious damage, it will not kill me." ”

Xiao Zhinan looked at Li Mengzhou's very unconvinced appearance, and said with a sneer: "You should indeed be proud to be able to immortalize under Xie Chunfeng's sword, but this is not something worth publicizing, waste wood is waste wood after all, obviously you don't have that strength, but you want to provoke someone stronger than yourself, I am really curious about how you have survived until now." ”

Once in the darkest place in Jiang Country, Li Mengzhou struggled to survive with a desire to survive, but it was inevitably mixed with some elements of luck, and like the case in Chaosi Lane, luck also accounted for a large proportion.

But if Li Mengzhou hadn't made a desperate gamble and spawned all the Qi Sea Spirit Yuan, even if he had more luck, he would not be able to survive, and he would not be able to die under Xie Chunfeng's sword, although luck could not be avoided, but it could be regarded as surviving by ability.

Although Xie Chunfeng slashed out a very strong sword, he did not have killing intent, and Li Mengzhou had the supernatural power of "Silkworm Annihilation Volume", and he had a body that had been tempered by a medicinal bath, plus he had to slash out a sword frantically regardless of the depletion of the sea of qi of life and death, consuming Xie Chunfeng's sword qi, and the natal sword itself contained in the sea of qi itself has a very strong sword intent, Li Mengzhou can survive, and it is true that it cannot be purely lucky.

Xiao Zhinan challenged the strong because she was a strong herself, and most of them were just competitions, not life and death duels.

Li Mengzhou is not a strong man, but the enemies he faces are all unimaginably powerful, and many of them are life and death situations, in a sense, he can survive until now, and he really can't escape the element of luck.

He simply sat cross-legged on the ground, and said angrily: "You are so good-looking, why are you so venomous." ”

Xiao Zhinan raised her eyebrows slightly, being praised for this kind of thing, as a girl, no one would feel unhappy, so she automatically ignored the words behind her, looked at the looming sword intent in the sword cliff, and said solemnly: "To be able to maintain the sword intent for so many years, it is worthy of being a famous and promising great sword cultivator in the past generations of the Sword Academy of the Imperial Palace, even though they have fallen, but the sword intent remains in the world, as if they are all alive." ”

Those natal swords in the sword cliff are all owned by the great sword cultivators above the four realms, some sword intent is weaker, some sword intent is so strong that it is terrifying, after the changes of the years, some sword intent has become more and more intense, and some sword intent is also slowly dissipating.

She had been standing at the Sword Cliff for twelve hours, feeling the sword intents that belonged to the Sword Courtyard of the Imperial Palace, and it seemed that she could also see their demeanor from these sword intents.

Li Mengzhou was also observing those sword intents, and the heavy oppressive force made his face suddenly pale a few points, and those sword intents exuded an extremely fierce aura, and it was difficult to ignore Li Mengzhou, who was injured.

"In the past, the Sword Gate Avenue still stood on top of the three sects, and the sword immortals on the thirty-three mountains were rampant, so that hundreds of doors kowtowed, and I also asked the teacher why the Sword Gate was declining, but it seems that even the teacher can't tell the reason. ”

Xiao Zhinan pondered: "But according to my guess, the decline of the Sword Gate must be related to the luck of heaven and earth, it is the Dao Heaven that is afraid of the strength of the Sword Gate, depriving the Sword Cultivator of his luck, and letting the Sword Gate gradually wither." ”

Li Mengzhou looked at Xiao Zhinan with some secret smacks, and couldn't help but say: "Your guess is inevitably too bold, if it is really the will of Dao Heaven to destroy the Sword Gate, then how can the sword cultivation have a future?"

Xiao Zhinan sneered: "The way of cultivation in the world requires the help of the aura of heaven and earth, that is, the will of Dao Tian, but sword cultivation is the most special existence, sword immortals always want to challenge the strong in the world, but when no strong person can be stronger than sword immortals, their eyes will undoubtedly be on Dao Tian." ”

Li Mengzhou frowned and said, "Although it is very inexplicable, your words actually make me feel very reasonable." ”

The Dao Heavenly Will itself is a very ethereal existence, the first breath that appeared in the world, and I don't know how many years ago, someone sensed that breath and gave birth to the first cultivator.

The will of the Dao Heaven is not so much the Dao Heaven, but the first generation of those cultivators, it is because of the appearance of those cultivators that the Dao Heaven will is given, and whether the Dao Heaven will has life or not is actually denied.

Fallen cultivators will return to Dao Heaven, and naturally they will also become part of Dao Heaven's will, if in other words, the more cultivators in the world fall, the stronger Dao Heaven's will will become.

There are many things that you can't think about deeply, otherwise it's really scary to think about them.

A human monk with a stronger will should be able to gain greater strength, but the truth is quite the opposite.

Because there are only five Qi Luck Holy Lands left, although each dynasty scatters Qi Luck in all corners, but in fact, it is very small, the huge number of cultivators and extremely rare Qi Luck are disproportionate, and it becomes very difficult to get more resources and reach a higher realm.

Although the aura between heaven and earth is endless, the cultivation of higher realms depends on comprehension, and the existence of luck is a great opportunity, and the higher the cultivation, the more the demand for luck.

This is also why young cultivators need to walk in the world to comprehend, while powerful cultivators basically rarely enter the world, Jiang Guo's Qi Luck Holy Land is in the capital, and the capital is also the place where powerful cultivators gather the most, only by staying here and getting close to Qi Luck can they break through to a higher realm.

Naturally, there will be hidden cultivators in the market, who may not be qualified to get close to luck for various reasons, or for other reasons, they choose to practice in a place full of spiritual energy, or find another opportunity to break through the realm through the way of understanding life.

But in the final analysis, there are definitely strong people gathering near the five Qi Luck Holy Lands in the world.

Except for the Thousand Seas Realm placed on the bright side of Jiang Guo and the Sword Mountain of the Western Jin Dynasty, the other Qi Luck Holy Lands were hidden in the quiet places of the mountains and seas, and were controlled by powerful sects.

Dynasties need to compete for luck, and powerful cultivators also need to fight, it is precisely because the five Qi Luck Holy Lands belong to the five dynasties that they can occupy the most territory in the world, if they can unify the world, they will naturally have the absolute right to speak, and if they hold all the five Qi Luck Holy Lands in their hands, they can create a peak and prosperous era and enter a new era.

If the decay of the Sword Gate was deprived of luck by the will of Dao Heaven as Xiao Zhinan guessed, then the existence of the Sword Mountain would be difficult to explain.

There is no doubt that Sword Mountain is a holy land of luck exclusive to sword cultivation, and it is in the hands of the Sword Pavilion of the Western Jin Dynasty, and even the royal family of the Western Jin Dynasty does not have the right to climb the mountain at will, because if it is not for sword cultivation, Sword Mountain is no longer a holy land of luck, but an abyss Jedi, and only sword cultivation is qualified to climb the mountain.

Li Mengzhou has never been to Sword Mountain, and he doesn't know what kind of place Sword Mountain is, if the luck of the Sword Gate was deprived of it, then where does the current luck come from?

The true meaning and luck left by those sword immortals in the sword mountain in the past are completely different existences.

He felt that Xiao Zhinan's speculation had no actual basis, and in fact, it was pointless to explore why the Sword Sect was declining, because he firmly believed that in the current era, there would be a new batch of sword cultivators who would step to the peak and create their own sword world.

......

The night was as deep as ink.

His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Niang stood in front of the palace, looking at the capital under the starry sky, Jiang Guo was thriving, and the people could live and work in peace and contentment, which was already His Majesty the Emperor's greatest long-cherished wish, he did not have so great ambition to unify the world, but Jiang Guo was in a battleground where he would fight, and if he blindly defended, he would only end up perishing.

No ambition does not mean that you are content with the status quo, His Majesty the Emperor has sufficient faith to protect the people of Jiang State, and if Jiang State is threatened, he will also fight back desperately.

There was often friction between the Northern Yan and Jiang states on the border, and sooner or later a war would break out between the two countries.

Liu Feiyu is hidden in the hinterland of Beiyan, if there is any accident in the return plan, the army guarding the border will press on Beiyan, although there will be no large-scale war as a result, but the relationship between the two countries will become more urgent.

For some reason, His Majesty the Emperor had some uneasy feelings in his heart.

The queen mother looked at the side face of His Majesty the Emperor, and said with some worry: "Why is Your Majesty worried?"

His Majesty the Emperor sighed lightly and said: "Most of the territory of Northern Yan has a harsh environment, they have been trying to advance south, there are mad gods who will guard the northern border, the Northern Yan army often has temptations, but they don't dare to really start a war, and the western realm is a big country of sword cultivation, as long as that sword immortal is there, no force dares to offend, if Beiyan tries to go out, in addition to crossing the snow field and bordering the eastern border, there is only one way for me Jiang Guo to go." ”

"The snow field is a dangerous place that coexists with the abandoned wasteland, if Beiyan wants to attack the eastern border, the snowfield is a great obstacle, and it is likely that the whole army will be wiped out there, and only by contacting my Jiang country is the only way for Beiyan to get out, the outbreak of this war seems to be getting closer and closer. ”

The queen said: "Miss Xiao in the sword house of Beiyan is in the capital at the moment, if she has other intentions, it is likely that the inside and outside should be together, it will be a lot of trouble." ”

His Majesty the Emperor said: "Although Xiao Zhinan is a kendo wizard and a strong cultivator who can stand side by side with Shen Qiubai and Beizangfeng, she is still outside the threshold of the Five Realms after all, and it is impossible to make any trouble in the capital of our country. ”

"Although I have a hunch in my heart, the day of the Northern Yan Suppression Realm will not be too far away, but it can't happen so soon, Xiao Zhinan is just entering the WTO to practice and challenging the strong in the world, so it should have nothing to do with the Northern Yan royal family. ”

Even if Xiao Zhinan appeared in the territory of Jiang Guo and was a pawn planted by the Northern Yan side in advance, Xiao Zhinan was only one person after all, and she was not strong enough to shake the peace of the capital.

So instead of thinking that Xiao Zhinan's purpose is impure, it is better to really believe that she is just entering the world to practice, and things are not so complicated.

Xiao Zhinan is a sword cultivator after all, and sword cultivators are used to being alone, even if they are in a group, they are also in the same sect, and the sword master of the sword house will not necessarily take the Beiyan royal family in his eyes, and naturally there is no need to let his only personal disciple come to Jiang Country to take risks.

It's not a good thing to worry too much, anyway, Xiao Zhinan is moving under her nose, whether she really has other purposes, the Heavenly Council will be the first to notice.

Since the incident of the monks outside the mountain, the secret agents of the Heavenly Council have been significantly more cautious in their actions everywhere, putting their moves very bright, and closely monitoring all the winds and grasses in the capital.

And a character like Xiao Zhinan is naturally taken care of by the secret agents of the Heavenly Academy.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at the direction where the Sword Courtyard of the Imperial Palace was located, squinted his eyes slightly, and muttered: "Dean Xue's permission for Xiao Zhinan to climb the Sword Cliff also means that he thinks Xiao Zhinan has no problem......

The queen mother said softly: "Dean Xue's eyes are still very accurate, but Li Mengzhou's little guy seems to be also in Sword Cliff?"

......

The crescent moon is like a hook, the night breeze gently blows the branches and leaves, and the sword cliff seems very quiet.

Li Mengzhou lay on the meadow, looked at the sea of stars in the sky, and whispered, "The scenery tonight is very beautiful." ”

Xiao Zhinan didn't say anything, was silent for a moment, and said, "I'm going to try to go to the peak to have a look." ”

Li Mengzhou looked at her sideways and said, "The Sword Cliff is a holy place for leaving the palace, although the teacher allows you to climb the cliff, but you don't want to treat this place as your home, and you must not fight these swords." ”

He had reason to doubt Xiao Zhinan's purpose of ascending the Sword Cliff, he was afraid that it was very likely to devour the sword intent on the Sword Cliff, although devouring the sword intent was in great danger, but it was indeed a shortcut to improve cultivation, but the benefits obtained were far less than the danger.

Devouring the sword intent does not allow the sword cultivation to break through the realm, but the sword intent is enhanced, and it is also the cultivation enhancement, which may indeed increase the success of the breakthrough, but the accompanying danger is also extremely terrifying, and if you are not careful, you will be eaten by the sword intent, either become a walking corpse, or be directly torn to pieces by the sword intent.

Unless it was an extremely crazy person, very few sword cultivators would choose to devour sword intent to enhance their cultivation.

But if he is strong enough to devour some weak sword intent, there will be no danger, but weak sword intent can't enhance too much cultivation, but there are thousands of natal swords in the sword cliff, with Xiao Zhinan's cultivation, I'm afraid that most of the swords will not pose a fatal threat to her, and if she devours all those weak sword intents, there will also be significant changes.

Even if he was thinking about devouring these swords all the time, Li Mengzhou didn't believe that Xiao Zhinan didn't have the slightest idea.

Xiao Zhinan could naturally hear what Li Mengzhou wanted to express, and said calmly: "Although there are many extremely powerful sword intents in the Sword Cliff, only the sword intent of the Sword Immortal can arouse my interest, so you don't have to worry about what I will do with these swords." ”

Li Mengzhou pouted and said: "Anyway, the teacher allowed you to come up, I don't care what you want to do, although you are very strong, I don't think you can climb to the peak, if there is really a sword immortal's natal sword there, the difficulty of climbing the mountain must be terrible." ”

Xiao Zhinan ignored him and walked silently towards the mountain.

Li Mengzhou lay quietly on the meadow, put his hands behind his head, tilted his head slightly, looked at Xiao Zhinan's back gradually moving away, and snorted inexplicably in his mouth.

Cultivation has never been a simple matter, just the stage of the initial realm of Amaterasu's visualization completely separates the practitioner from the ordinary person, and since then, there are bottlenecks in each realm that hinder the practitioner, except for the Amaterasu baptism, which is a high mountain that blocks all ordinary people who have no cultivation qualifications, and the threshold of the four realms is the iron wall that blocks the path of the practitioner.

Before crossing the threshold of the Five Realms, the lifespan of a cultivator is no different from that of ordinary people, but the appearance looks relatively young, and the qualifications are insufficient, and it is simply impossible to rely on the years to cross the threshold of the Four Realms.

Because it doesn't make sense, even after decades of passing the threshold, you are still facing the despair of dying soon, and all the hard work you have done is in vain, which is a really desperate thing.

Therefore, the cultivation qualification can clearly determine how far a practitioner can go and where he will stop, although it is very sad, but there is no way to avoid it.

And even if a person with very good cultivation qualifications is not strong enough, there is a high possibility that he will stagnate outside the threshold of the Four Realms.

Before today, Li Mengzhou had even crossed the threshold of the Four Realms with half a foot, and he could faintly feel it, but now this feeling was gone, as if he was extremely far away from the threshold of the Four Realms.

This is something that makes Li Mengzhou very distressed.

His gaze was on the natal swords that had been inserted into the stones, these were all swords left over from the fall of the great sword cultivators above the four realms of the palace sword academy in the past dynasties, and he didn't know if he could find the way to the threshold of the four realms again if he devoured these sword intents.

But he clearly understood that according to his current state of serious injury, even the weakest sword in the Sword Cliff was enough to kill him, so this thought did not come to his mind for long, and he was quickly expelled.

In fact, he also knew very well in his heart that the teacher had asked him to think about it in the sword cliff, not to let him devour these sword intents, but to let him comprehend the sword intent, although the process would be much slower, but it was also much safer, and it was obvious which was better to comprehend and forcibly devour the foreign sword intent by himself.

The sword intent that he chooses to devour should also be in line with his own sword intent, if they are mutually exclusive, then it is not a benefit, but it may damage the foundation of cultivation, and the gains outweigh the losses, but how many swords on the sword cliff are in line with his sword intent?

There is no shortcut to practice, and even if there is, it is not the right way, and it is still oneself who gets the evil result in the end, just like the monks outside the mountain who practice the method of forcibly plundering the Qi Sea Spirit Yuan, although they can become very strong in a short period of time, many monks who are not strong enough can easily become idiots, and their intelligence plummets.

Even if the monks outside the mountain who crossed the threshold of the Five Realms were no different from normal people, Li Mengzhou was extremely disgusted by the barbaric and bloodthirsty path to becoming stronger.
