Chapter 268: The True Strength of a Scholar (Part II)
Compared with others, Li Chen's experience at the moment is obviously much calmer, he is in the secret realm based on the dragon boat formation, coupled with the mutual confirmation of the sword prison, after seeing all kinds of horrors in the space channel, he knows that he is still not the peak at the moment, plus the dragon boat formation to make up for it, he did find many defects that he himself could not detect, so in the next few decades, he was almost in a dialogue between himself and another soul, The purpose of this is to make one's own realm or supernatural powers go further.
In terms of the difference between cultivation and strength, Li Chen had made many assumptions, and after seeing more and more people, he found out that such a thing, cultivation and fighting in the same realm are actually two things.
The talent of cultivation is at most based on one's own cultivation realm, and the talent of strength is based on the comprehension and display of supernatural powers and secret arts, which involves too much.
Whenever he thought of this time, Li Chen had to start feeling grateful to the Great Elder who had died, this gratitude was more like a kind of happiness, just because if he hadn't experienced so much hardship, he would definitely not have such a talent now.
It's just that his so-called gratitude now is mostly for himself, and the suffering itself is like a tree growing, blowing and raining every day, so the tree always wants to complete the deep roots, and when time passes, no matter what kind of wind can't affect him, so at this time, should he be grateful to the wind or to himself?
Li Chen used to be grateful for the sincerity of this world in name, but after a long time, he found that the sincerity was too fine, so that this kind of fineness was just like Bai Ruomen's body method, some people first cultivated the skin, some people cultivated the bones first, and even the veins of cultivation were different.
It is precisely because of this complexity that many people even abandon belief in the end, saying that there is never such a thing as sincerity and friendship in the world, but in fact, the final reason is that they have not made refined distinction and belief.
Li Chen also experienced too many repetitions, and finally suddenly told himself one day that he didn't care about the harm at this moment, since there is cause and effect in the world, all behaviors are just going to follow the trend.
As for his own practices, they may not fit these things, but at least he is much more comfortable in his heart.
Therefore, Li Chen often mocked himself, saying that after living for so long, the only thing he learned was to deceive himself like a mirror in his heart.
Therefore, when he faced the mystery of whether the world under his feet was a dream or not, although he had doubts, he did not have to get to the bottom of it like others, when the scholar told part of his past and finally made a request, Li Chen agreed after only a little thought.
He knew that the scholar must have something to hide, but no matter which direction he looked at it, it could not constitute a motive for causing too much turmoil in this world, which of course meant the misery of life.
What he believes is that a person who decides to go to a realm by himself, because he is worried about the severance of the inheritance, must leave what he has learned all his life without hesitation, like such a person, even if he is really selfish, how bad can he be?
The reason for this, just like the fact that he will hand over the inheritance to the royal court, is not only that he believes that the strength of the royal court can go on with the inheritance, but also because he and the royal court are two camps, but to a certain extent, it is precisely because he is an opponent that he understands more and understands that a proud person like the royal court will never disdain to cut off the inheritance, and they cherish each other.
Therefore, Li Chen did not have the slightest selfishness in the matter of the dragon boat, and the joint entry of the dragon boat formation and the sword prison was an unexpected joy.
He always thought he knew himself, but in many ways, in many ways, he really didn't know as well as those around him, just like he had a talent for himself.
For many years, he has always said that his talent is not good, and many times it is just luck, but Hongxue and others are full of confidence in him, so they can say in front of the royal court that when Li Chen is out of the customs, no matter what kind of situation, he will definitely be able to turn around.
In addition, before Wang Ting voluntarily dispersed the true spirit, to a certain extent, he had always regarded Li Chen as the last chance in this world, but he did not believe that he could bring any hope to this world, nor did he think that he could persevere
Decades of time.
This is actually a kind of trust in Li Chen.
Only Li Chen himself has never thought about this matter, this is because his eyes have never fallen on himself, when he was in Luoyuyuan, he faced the biggest crisis in this life, as well as those seemingly invincible predecessors and enemies, he said that he wanted to talk to the world, at that time, he himself did not realize that for such a long time, in so many words, he never mentioned himself, has been talking about this world, talking about all kinds of fates in this world.
Only at that moment, Xiao Qi suddenly burst into tears, he said: Your Highness has never done anything bad in his life, no matter when, the first thing that comes to mind is always someone else, why is this the case in the end?
At that moment, only Yueshuang responded, "Just because he was born like this, the final result can only be like this."
Until now, Li Chen is still like this, so for so many years, his life has always been a little sadder than others.
This kind of sadness naturally does not mean that he has really reached the most difficult point in the world, but because of his character, no matter who stands in his current position and situation, life will at least be happier than his current life.
This kind of pleasure is to be able to get more for yourself with all the resources at your disposal, whether it is for enjoyment or pleasure, whether it is physical or emotional.
However, Li Chen never seemed to think about it like this, he was always on the road, always thinking about whether he could go further, and always thinking about how many people behind him would change because of his own changes.
He and Wang Ting are somewhat similar in this regard, but they are completely different, Wang Ting has always hoped that he can bear this, and feels that he will be able to do it, so he has been pushing himself very nervous, so that when he finds himself farther and farther away from that ultimate goal, he may not be able to pursue it for the rest of his life, so he will finally collapse.
Li Chen is different, he never thought about whether he was capable, never thought about how far away he was, he always just saw the goal, so he had to do it.
He was told by everyone since he was born, saying that you must become the co-master of the world in the future, and at that time he was not able to practice, but he never thought about the possibility of this, he just kept telling himself that that was the goal.
Therefore, on that day, he witnessed the elaborate death of the Great Elder in the ghost, and even if he was in extreme pain, he still had to say in front of the Elder: Since I once said that I would do that, then I will not break my word.
This is not because of conceit, he is just telling the old man who seemed to be dead in front of him at that time: even if I die, I will still be on this road, and I will never turn back because of difficulties or pain.
The progress of the dragon boat has now reached the last step, Li Chen is sure that he wants to perfect it foolproof, but he is suddenly thinking about another thing, just like his sword prison can still complete the power burst at a certain moment through compression after the completion of countless formations, so why can't the dragon boat do it?
In the process of building the dragon boat, Li Chen has been thinking that this object may not be just to defend against those attacks that may appear at any time, for example, when those strange beasts outside the passage appear, just like the various situations mentioned by the scholar, if the sword array in the dragon boat can shoot on its own like a true spirit, wouldn't this be an excellent thing.
It's just that no matter how many ideas he has, he always has to complete them step by step, after all, a full hundred years, according to the current situation, no matter how you look at it, is enough.
During this period, Li Chen never thought about what would happen to the outside world during this time, which was the reason why he was able to go for so many years and improve day by day.
In addition, after a full hundred years, his own secret realm, the world based on the sword, finally began the first change of dynasty.
He had only seen these things in the history books, but he had never thought about them carefully, because he himself was getting farther and farther away from them.
Until now, I have seen with my own eyes that the once wise and martial monarch has finally had an extremely long lifespan after being taught by that sword master, at least surpassing any monarch in the Ghost Cave Heaven World.
But, as people often say
In other words, a person will change, he likes to eat pineapple today, and he may like to eat apple tomorrow.
Now, after a long period of hard work in the kingdom, the king finally felt tired of his life.
"I am obviously the most powerful person in this world, and the person with the highest realm in this world is also my hand, and now that the world is leveling, why can't I enjoy it?"
After that day, the king's personality changed so suddenly, and for such a short time, that the whole kingdom did not realize it at first.
Until, the king began to ask the craftsmen to build him an unprecedented boat, the boat with the void as the river, the sword qi formation as the power, can see its brilliance three thousand miles away.
The king's idea was simple, "This world has been born for so many years, and there have been countless kingdoms in the world, and now they are all one in my hands, and for thousands of years, only I have done this, and now that the four seas are peaceful, and hundreds of people can live their lives because of me, why can't I use them?".
However, it was extremely difficult for him to implement this idea, and since then, the country has been plunged into unprecedented turmoil and hardship.
Because it was necessary to recruit craftsmen from all over the country, at the beginning, craftsmen from all around the imperial capital enthusiastically signed up, all thanks to the king's past wisdom.
But soon, people discovered that this king had changed dramatically, and some people said that this king loved his people like a son, and he himself said that he regarded every one of his people as his own, and now the world ridicules this king as a son who eats food.
In just 20 years, the prosperous era that he once spent most of his life doing has become a mess.
A courtier once admonished him with death, but was blocked by the king's words, "I have worked all my life for this country, and now I can't rest for a few days?"
In any case, this ship, which has never been seen before in this world, has finally been built.
As a result, this monarch began an unprecedented inspection, and his best friend all along, Nie Feng, who also pioneered the world's earliest Seven Realms exercises, was always by his side to protect his safety.
Maybe it was because this king finally heard some rumors about the world's complaints about himself during this time, or maybe it was just to let his good friend, share the prosperity of this excessive moment with him, in short, the two of them rode on the highest floor of the boat, and then through the reflection of the formation, everyone knew and saw it for three thousand miles.
It's just that he still underestimates the extent to which public grievances have accumulated in the past few decades.
Because he wanted his inspection to be visible everywhere in the world, as early as three years ago, he had all the courtyards or mansions set up formations, and there was no other effect, just so that before the ship was about to come, the whole city would be brightly lit, and the people of the whole city would see that our majestic and unprecedented king was coming.
But the king did not know that at his feet, many people were scolding, saying that if this king had died thirty years ago, then he would have left his name in history and would have no stain.
In addition, during his rounds, someone exclaimed, "The husband should be like this."
Li Chen saw all this, but he didn't make any prompts or participate.
······
······
The scholar and the Heavenly Dao were passing through another realm from the secret realm at this moment.
Although Hongxue and the others were unwilling, they also knew that it would be useless for them to join now, so they could only wait and see what happened.
The two stared at each other, their momentum constantly rising, and around their bodies, energy fluctuations were stirring, rippling like water waves, and the space was shaken with a slight ripple.
Finally, Heavenly Dao was the first to attack, and he turned into a golden light with his own condensed hazy body, and rushed towards the scholar. Above his fist, a powerful energy was condensed, as dazzling as the golden sun.
The scholar's eyes were cold, and he did not back down at all. As soon as he stepped on his footsteps, he instantly turned into a black streamer and met the attack of the Heavenly Dao. On the palm of his hand, there is also a powerful force, as if it can devour all light.
Two powerful forces collided in the air, causing an earth-shattering explosion. The energy rippled in all directions, and cracks appeared in the surrounding space. Both of their bodies were shaken back by a powerful force, but they quickly stabilized their bodies again and confronted each other.
Heavenly Dao did not stop, and another punch was blasted out. With this punch, the entire space seemed to tremble, and the golden energy surged out like a rushing river. The scholar's eyes were solemn, and he also punched out. The black energy erupted like a torrent of darkness, colliding with the attack of the Heavenly Dao, once again triggering an earth-shattering explosion.
The bodies of both were shaken back again, but both quickly stabilized their figures. They all had some scars on their bodies, the traces of a duel of power, but their eyes were still steadfast, showing no sign of flinching.
The scholar took a deep breath, and a fierce color flashed in his black eyes. He clasped his hands together, and the black energy condensed between his hands into a black ball of energy, spinning like a dark vortex. He pushed suddenly, and the ball of energy slashed through the air like a meteor, heading straight for the Heavenly Dao.
Tiandao's eyes were deep, and he didn't panic at all. He grabbed the void with both hands, and the golden energy instantly condensed into a huge golden palm print, meeting the scholar's attack. The two powerful forces collided again, and an earth-shattering sound erupted.
The scholar and the Heavenly Dao were shocked back by the powerful force at the same time, but they did not stop. They all know that this is a decisive battle that will determine their fate, and only one of them will survive. Their eyes were full of determination and determination, constantly increasing their momentum and strength, ready to launch a final attack.
On this barren Gobi, the collision of wills between the two continues. Their strength, momentum and determination are constantly being sublimated.
The scholar took a deep breath, mobilized the internal force of his body, and sent an astonishing attack towards the will of the Heavenly Dao.
The wind was raging, and the scholar's figure swayed in the wind, looking a little difficult. He understood that the battle was far more difficult than he had imagined.
The Heavenly Dao Will attacked again, and countless energy arrows shot towards the scholar like a torrential rain. The scholar instantly rose into the air, skillfully dodging the attack. At the same time, he turned his internal force into a huge wall of energy, trying to trap the Heavenly Dao Will in it.
The will of the Heavenly Dao exploded instantly, and the energy arrows pierced the energy wall like flames. The scholar urgently dodged in the air, narrowly dodging the attack, but immediately after, he swung his sword and shot fast, the sword light was like a dragon, breaking through the air and roaring, and the unparalleled strength of the carrier rushed towards the will of the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao Will didn't care about this thunderous blow, it flicked its hands lightly, and an invisible force instantly shot the sword light back.
The scholar had already prepared, and his body jumped back in an instant, like a swallow soaring in the air, skillfully avoiding the counterattack. The battle intent in his eyes was even worse, and he knew that this was just a trick to test the waters. At the same time, he began to urge the power in his body, and his muscles were like active strings, playing a passionate battle song.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Dao Will turned into countless shadow claws and pounced on the scholar out of thin air. The shadow claw broke through the air, with a cold killing intent, as if it was about to tear the scholar into tens of thousands of pieces. The scholar gritted his teeth, his long sword danced, and sword qi sprinkled down like a waterfall, weaving a defensive shield.
The sound of thumping and thumping was endless, and the clash of sword qi and shadow claws pierced the silent sky, blooming with brilliant light. The duel between the scholar and the will of the Heavenly Dao was like a storm, lightning and thunder, and every move was enough to shake the earth, which was terrifying.
The scholar gradually felt a lot of pressure, and he understood that this was an uphill battle. However, there was not the slightest fear in his eyes.
He condensed the faith in his heart into a stronger force and injected it into the long sword in his hand. The long sword hummed, as if calling for a long-lost splendor. The scholar rose into the air again, swung his sword down, and a sword aura that destroyed the heavens and the earth pointed directly at the will of the Heavenly Dao.
At this moment, the Heavenly Dao Will suddenly turned into countless illusory shadows, instantly blending into the surrounding land, as if blending into the air. Although the scholar's sword aura was amazing, he couldn't find a specific target.
The scholar did not stop because of this, but accelerated the swing of the sword qi. He turned his sword qi into a huge whirlwind that enveloped the entire battlefield.
The opponent had obviously figured out the scholar's path now, and suddenly several shadows on the ground jumped from the ground into the void, and he couldn't see the reality.
The scholar didn't make any emotional changes, his body was like lightning in an instant, and there was also the chaos of reincarnation, which was a means that even the Heavenly Dao could not figure out, and it was he who finally mastered the slightest means after many times in the space channel!
The lightning turned into thunder, and several figures were annihilated in an instant, leaving only the last shadow to become more and more condensed.
At this moment, time seemed to freeze, the wind stopped, and the earth trembled slightly. They stared at each other, not giving in to each other, like two towering mountains competing with each other's firmness.
Finally, the battle broke out! The scholar's sturdy figure jumped up in the air, rushing towards the Heavenly Dao Will as quickly as a cheetah. He waved his fist, and a storm of spiritual power gathered set off in front of him, like a thunderous blow that tore through space.
The Heavenly Dao Will did not flinch, he stared at the scholar, and a mysterious power gathered in his palm. In an instant, a brilliant light burst out from his hand, like the first rays of sunlight at dawn, illuminating the entire land. This light quickly shot towards the scholar, accompanied by endless coercion, as if it was about to devour him.
The scholar rolled in the air, deftly avoiding the fatal blow. The ground beneath his feet was instantly cut by the light, as if telling the terrifying power of this force. He didn't dare to be careless, and quickly adjusted his posture to prepare for the next attack.
The Heavenly Dao Will seemed to be surprised by the scholar's nimble dodge. He didn't stop, his hands were folded, and more light poured out from his body, instantly forming a huge wall of light. The wall of light shines like a star, exuding a formidable majesty.
A trace of solemnity flashed in the scholar's eyes, and he took a deep breath, and the spiritual power in his body burned like a lit flame. He pushed it out with both hands, and a majestic pillar of spiritual power light burst out of his body and soared into the sky. The pillar of light collided with the wall of light of the Heavenly Dao's will, shaking the surrounding sand and dust, and the momentum was amazing.
The power of the two set off a storm of energy. The storm spread around them, leaving deep traces in its path. The surrounding grains of sand tumbled in the storm, turned into dust, and disappeared into the endless air.
The battle between the scholar and the will of the Heavenly Dao became more and more intense, and their figures shuttled through the air, their fists and feet intersected, and they erupted into a continuous sound. Each blow was enough to change the color of heaven and earth, and every collision seemed to test each other's limits.
The scholar felt the boiling spiritual power in his body, and he had no intention of retreating. The Heavenly Dao Will responded with a more aggressive attack, and his light became more and more brilliant, as if he wanted to illuminate the entire world.
The eyes of the two met, stirring up a strong energy, making the wind and clouds change, and the sun and the moon faded.
On the Gobi, sand and gravel are splashing, and the scholar's body is like the wind, extremely fast. His gaze was firm, like a sharp sword, pointing straight at the Heavenly Dao. And the Heavenly Dao was quietly suspended in mid-air, exuding a mysterious power on his body, as bright as a star. His gaze is as deep as the sea, as if he can see everything.
The scholar waved the long sword in his hand, and the sword light flickered, like a meteor piercing the sky. He jumped into the air and collided with the Heavenly Dao. Suddenly, an earth-shattering force erupted, causing the surrounding sand and gravel to splash everywhere. At the same time, a golden light appeared in Tiandao's hand, like a visitor from outside the sky, instantly crossing the sky and directly grabbing the scholar's throat.
The scholar turned around, skillfully dodging the golden light. He backhanded a sword, and the sword qi roared like a dragon's roar, approaching the Heavenly Dao. Tian Dao smiled slightly, and his figure instantly disappeared in place, appearing several miles away. He clasped his hands together, and an invisible force descended from the sky, like a huge golden palm, tightly binding the scholar.
The scholar gritted his teeth and insisted, the muscles on his body as hard as steel, resisting this powerful restraint. There was a sparkle of determination in his eyes, as if to declare unyielding determination.
At this moment, the scholar's long sword suddenly shone brightly. He shook hard, and the sword qi burst out like a rushing river, breaking the shackles of the Heavenly Dao. He leapt into the air again, wielding his sword like a fluttering butterfly wing, beautiful and deadly. One after another, sword qi crossed the sky like meteors, forcing towards the Heavenly Dao.
With a slight wave of his hand, an invisible force instantly dispersed the sword qi. He disappeared again and appeared behind the scholar. He clenched his hands into fists, and a powerful energy gathered in his fists, like a huge golden meteor, instantly smashing towards the scholar.
The scholar turned his head,
There was a decisive glint in his eyes. He took a deep breath, his body tense like a bowstring, and then leaped sharply, dodging the powerful attack.
