In the middle of the cang, between the first and second floors

"Are you...... Saint...... Mr. Nakaoka? Gu Jieshuang only felt stunned for a while.

Zhongqiu, there are few people in Yanguo who don't know this name, right...... Holy Master Zhongqiu!

There are very few people who can get here, so I guess...... There shouldn't be duplicate names, right?

"Yes." Nakaqiu smiled and nodded.

Here, although Gu Jieshuang only asked a word, Zhongqiu already knew that the Zhongqiu she was talking about must be herself, not other people with the same name.

It's an induction of your own name.

Gu Xie Shuang finally knew why he felt that this middle-aged man was familiar...... Aren't you familiar, I have seen his statue every day in the Holy Capital for the past two days.

However, most of the images she saw were old men who were dying, and now that she saw the middle-aged version of the Holy Master, she really couldn't recognize it for a while.

Come to think of it, this should be the image of Saint Master Zhongqiu when he came to Fengyue Cangjian.

"Hello." Gu Jieshuang hurriedly withstood the pressure from the sky and wanted to salute Zhongqiu.

But this simply can't be done.

The pressure here was too much, and although Nakaoka's proximity allowed her to barely say a few words, more than that.

Zhongqiu probably saw Gu Jieshuang's difficulty, so he said:

"You don't have to salute, I'm Zhongqiu, not him, your strength should be used in Feng Yue's cang."

"You ......"

"I'm here because I'm curious." Zhongqiu said, "I was in the clouds just now, and I saw you use a sword, which is very exquisite. Although he has not been fully enlightened, he can attract the sword intent of his ancestors...... With such a skill, I wonder if it is convenient to tell us? ”

Gu Jieshuang's card deck was also shattered on the first layer - as the power of the soul card master, the card deck was also counted as part of the soul card master's body.

It's just that the rhythm in the deck is still there, but there is no carrier. When the level is finished, the deck will naturally be repaired as well.

That's when Nakaoka discovered the clue.

Although that sword is only in the same tone as Xie Emei and Gu Jieshuang itself, and does not add sword intent, Gu Jieshuang has already comprehended the sword intent of the cold sky for a long time, and naturally it has a little charm. ‘

What's more, the Star Shift Sword Intent in Gu Jieshuang's card deck was also clearly perceived by Zhong Qiu, and when he saw this picture again, thinking about it, it was not difficult to guess the usage of the Star Shift Sword Intent Soul Card.

"Yes, yes......" Gu Jieshuang wanted to speak, but as she got closer and closer to the second layer of clouds, her consciousness gradually blurred, and it became quite difficult to organize complete words.

"Huh? Star Tier...... What a subtle idea. Zhongqiu was shocked.

In this world, language is the least efficient way to communicate.

Although Gu Jieshuang didn't organize his words well, the thoughts that crossed his heart were no longer bound by his body, and Zhongqiu could already hear them.

A smile of relief appeared on his face.

"It's really the style of the Yan Emperor...... It's a pity that I can't meet this descendant named Yu Cang in person. ”

"The boss will wait...... Will also come......" Gu Jieshuang hurriedly wanted to explain.

But Zhongqiu just shook his head slightly: "I can't see it." ”

"How ......"

Before Gu Xie Shuang could ask, he saw Zhong Qiu stretch out his hand.

"The limit of this second level is the limit of the spirit. In the afterlife, think about it, if the spirit is broken, what else can you rely on to exist? ”

"What do you rely on......" Gu Xie Shuang thought hard.

She didn't have much time to think.

If you don't figure it out before your consciousness goes completely into darkness, you'll never figure it out.

But after the body and spirit are all shattered, what can exist?

Looking at Zhongqiu in front of him, in a trance, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

How did you know about Nakaoka?

Isn't it just that what he has done is too great, and his strength is the best in the world, so it is recorded and praised?

She suddenly remembered a statement she had read before.

It is said that in a person's life, there will be three deaths. The first is a physical death, the second is a funeral social death, and the third time is the real death when the last person forgets you.

Therefore, what can continue to exist after the collapse of the spirit is to write books and speak? Is it eternal? Be......

Many thoughts passed before her eyes, but her consciousness was drowsy, and she couldn't come up with an answer. She wanted to speak, but she couldn't say a word. Soon, she's going to reach her limit.

At this time, a voice came in, and there seemed to be some kind of power in it, which could make Gu Jieshuang clearly understand the meaning.

"It's your name."

"My name...... Look at...... Solution, frost ......"

Airplanes!

As Gu Xie Shuang muttered, a golden light suddenly lit up in her dark perception!

As if breaking through the water, Gu Jieshuang's eyes suddenly regained color, and when she suddenly woke up, she was already standing on the clouds.

Here it is, the second floor.

Compared to the first layer of the sea of clouds, the clouds here are flowing and messy, as if the sea surface is constantly changing.

Gu Jieshuang stood in place in a daze for a long time before she recovered from the suffocating sense of despair just now, she lowered her head and looked at her current "body".

Your own spirit, your will, your soul...... and all other intangible things have been compressed into their current appearance in the process of rising just now—exactly the same as their own flesh, but they seem to be a little more illusory out of thin air.

Outside the body, there is also a dress - the same texture that seems to be unreal.

There are clothes, there is nothing strange, after all, shame is also a part of the consciousness that makes up a person, and it is natural to be reflected here.

But at this moment, both the body and the clothes are already covered with dense cracks - just like the first layer, it has become a fragile porcelain doll.

It's just that this time the light that burst out from the crack was golden, and through it, Gu Jieshuang seemed to be able to faintly see a golden name - his own name.

Suddenly, there was a strange sound in the clouds, Gu Jieshuang hurriedly looked over, and saw that the clouds there were constantly rising, as if they were about to condense into something.

"Are you coming......" Gu Jieshuang's expression was solemn.

However, before the cloud had fully surfaced, the word "scatter" was suddenly heard.

The voice was not loud, and there was a smile, but it seemed to carry great power, and the surging clouds seemed to be blown away by the wind and disappeared without a trace.

A figure, standing behind the dissipating stratus clouds, dressed in ancient robes and carrying a sword with a sheath at his waist. With a smile on his face, he looked at Gu Jieshuang.

"Mr. Nakaoka?" Gu Jieshuang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly saluted, "Thank you Holy Master for your kindness!" ”

She knew in her heart that if it weren't for the Holy Master's teaching, she wouldn't have come here at all.

Even, even if the Holy Master taught, if it weren't for his power to give her more time to think, she wouldn't have thought of it.

The Holy Master Shi Ran received a salute, and then said: "In the future, you are willing to learn the sword." ”

Gu Xie Shuang was stunned: "I'...... Naturally, I would like to. ”

"Then take the sword." Zhongqiu said, "If you defeat me, you can leave." ”

"Huh? …… My opponent on this level, is that you......"

How does this work......

Even if the other party is not the Holy Master himself, it is impossible to beat it, right?

Zhongqiu shook his head: "Definitely." It's just that I suddenly wanted to take action myself, so I took the place of the barrier set by this side of the world—he would not refuse me. ”

Gu Xie Shuang raised his head: "But how can I beat you......"

"Don't think too hard about me." Zhongqiu said, "I'm just a touch of sword intent and a little will left by him - you don't need to defeat me, use your star rank, learn my sword, just go." ”

“…… Good. Gu Xie Shuang took a deep breath.

On the other side, Zhong Qiu untied the sword at his waist, but did not draw the sword, but just looked at Gu Jieshuang.

She was stunned: "Don't you draw your sword?" ”

"I've drawn my sword." Zhongqiu laughed.

"Huh?" Gu Jieshuang's eyes shrank, and then his face became solemn.

With a wave of her hand, she summoned the Dusty Sacred Sword and covered it with Sword Intent Cold Sky Snow Waterfall.

But with the Dusty Sword in her hand, she sensed that something was wrong.

This sword ...... Can't swing it!

Gu Jieshuang's hand tightly grasped the hilt of the Dusty Holy Sword, and the most exquisite sword moves she had ever learned before flashed in her mind one by one, facing Zhongqiu, she naturally had to show one hundred percent strength.

But at this moment, with the sword in his hand, there is an irreversible force that restricts his body, so that he can't swing this sword no matter what!

It happened...... What?

Gu Xie Shuang raised his head and looked at Zhong Qiu, the man was still just standing there, holding an unsheathed sword with a kind expression.

Did the Holy Master do it?

But what did he do......

Gu Jieshuang was suddenly a little overwhelmed.

Saint Master Zhongqiu didn't even move at all, and he actually let himself lose the ability to swing his sword?

What exactly is this......

Gu Xie Shuang forcibly calmed himself down.

She knew that Zhongqiu had not moved at this time, she was giving herself a chance to feel, otherwise, as long as he tried his best, he would have no way to live.

That......

A little bit of starlight suddenly appeared in Gu Jieshuang's hazy eyes, and at this moment, the world slowed down in her eyes.

However, it is not much slower, and it is too far from the realm where even the light can be seen clearly when the gods are in the capital.

She used the star ladder to perceive her surroundings, but everywhere she could reach was chaos, and there was nothing that could respond to her star level.

How so......

Gu Jieshuang was a little anxious.

The opportunity to let Zhongqiu guide was only this once, and she didn't want to delay time because she couldn't enter the door late.

…… By the way, isn't this ability to make yourself unable to swing the sword also a negative state?

That...... Relieve your eyebrows!

Gu Xie Shuang stretched out her hand and made a move, and the long sword composed of ice crystals fell into her hand, and suddenly, she was light, and she seemed to have lost a lot of restraints, but ...... Still can't swing the sword!

She hurriedly looked at the sword in her hand.

Wrong! Zhongqiu "controlled" not only himself, but also the sword in his hand!

As soon as she thought of this, the world in her eyes suddenly changed, and she saw that the invisible "sword intent" spread out from the ordinary standing figure in front of her, and the sword intent enveloped a considerable area, and everything was affected.

Gu Xie Shuang gasped.

Isn't this range too exaggerated......

At this moment, although she clearly sensed the existence of the other party's sword intent, so that she couldn't even see the other party's haunting and attacking, what she saw still made her confused.

She still couldn't read it.

Zhong Qiu's sword intent was too strong, and its strength level was much higher than Ning Xingyi's!

own sword...... Was it suppressed by sword intent......

No, no matter what, no matter whether you can understand it or not, this sword must be cut out!

Since you can't comprehend it, let's try to break it with strength.

Gu Xie Shuang took a deep breath, and then with a movement of his mind, the sword intent behind him and the Cold Sky Snow Waterfall turned into a green aura and fell on top of the Dusty Holy Sword.

Homology!

It seemed that the Broken Seal Cold Sky composed of snow suddenly appeared in Gu Jieshuang's hands.

On the other side, Zhongqiu nodded: "Not bad...... Your comprehension of this sword intent is already very thorough, and you have not tasted it superficially, and you have not wasted your talent. ”

Airplanes......

The Broken Seal Cold Sky in his hand kept trembling, but he still couldn't swing his sword.

Not enough!

So......

Boom!

Breaking the Seal, Cold Sky also suddenly turned into a green aura, and all of them were thrown into Xie E's eyebrows in his left hand.

Dark Tone: Magic Sword: Chill and Silence!

Click!

The ice burst open in an instant, and the Demon Sword Cold Silence still wanted to spread the ice layer on his arm like before, but at this time, Gu Jieshuang was in a mental state and had no substance, so the ice layer that spread up lost its bearing after freezing, and broke and fell from the air, so as to keep circulating.

On the other side, Zhongqiu's eyebrows raised slightly, and his face moved for the first time.

"Is it a gentleman's duty to indulge evil thoughts...... No, instead of being controlled by evil thoughts, you use them for your own use...... Do what you want without exceeding the rules, wonderful! His expression changed quietly, "This ...... Is that also the idea of Yu Cangzhi? …… Hahaha, it is really a blessing for my generation to have this pride in the future! ”

Collapse!

It was as if the sound of a heavy glacier breaking came from Gu Jieshuang's sword, only to see her slowly raise the cold silence, and the phantom of the soul card around her body continued to emerge and disillusion, with this process, the momentum on the long sword became more and more vigorous!

Now Gu Jieshuang has no physical limitations, his soul energy is almost infinite, and he can use all the soul cards in a very short time, and the cold silence can just transform all these soul cards into cold qi!

This sword will be the strongest blow that Gu Jieshuang can wield!

After using so many soul cards, Gu Jieshuang only felt that his body suddenly sank, and there were more and more cracks on his body, and even the unsturdy parts had fallen off and dissipated into powder.

At a certain moment, Gu Jieshuang's eyes froze.

This sword can finally be swung!

"-Chill Silence!"

The long sword swung down, and a monstrous cold air rolled up above the surging sea of clouds, and a sword slashed out obliquely, as if a huge wave had been rolled!

To this, Zhongqiu nodded slightly.

"Good."

Then, extend your finger and tap it lightly.

Airplanes!

An arc-shaped ripple spread out in the direction of his fingers, as if something invisible, extremely fast, swept across the sea of clouds, startling countless ripples in the clouds!

The ripples passed by the "cold silence", and suddenly, the cold air collapsed, and the huge waves, which seemed to be monstrous, were easily cut off, and the upper part was scattered into the sky as clouds and mist, and the lower part was submerged into the sea of clouds.

Seeing this, Gu Jieshuang was stunned.

What......?

With all his strength, he was ...... so easily Cracked?

After this sword, what other means do you have......

She tried to think about how to fight next, but at this time, she saw Nakaoka in front of her gently put his hand on the hilt of the sword.

"Housheng, look carefully, I'm going to draw my sword."

A fluttering sentence came, Gu Jieshuang was like a great enemy, and hurriedly raised the magic sword to be silent, wanting to defend first.

Zhongqiu said: "No need to resist, feel it." ”

Zheng!

The sound of the sword roared, the metal touch reverberated deafeningly, and an invisible sword qi came across the sea of clouds!

Gu Jieshuang's spirit was highly concentrated, and the cracks on his body quietly became a little more.

Seem...... Can you hide?

- No, you can't hide from it.

As soon as Gu Jieshuang wanted to dodge, her intuition told her that it was useless, and she couldn't dodge.

Isn't this sword intent too bad...... I can't beat you, I can't hide if you hit me!

Well, if you can't hide, then don't hide!

Gu Xie Shuang gritted his teeth, and layers of starlight immediately appeared in his eyes.

The world slowed down again, this time, Gu Xie Shuang concentrated all her energy, and the effect was even more significant, that sword qi swept through the sea of clouds at a speed like a walk, and she could even see the layers of ripples stirred up under the sword qi.

Is that...... Gu Jieshuang's eyes widened, and in his mind, he suddenly remembered some of the circulating works of Saint Master Zhongqiu that he had read before.

At this moment, she suddenly realized.

Call......

Time suddenly accelerated, and the sword qi swept past Gu Jieshuang's side, but it turned into a cloud of smoke and dissipated.

With this blow, Zhongqiu did not hurt Gu Jieshuang.

He looked at Gu Jieshuang, who was standing in place with a somewhat stunned expression, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Good—the afterlife, you have already started."

Gu Xie Shuang seemed to have come back to her senses at this time, she blinked, and hurriedly saluted Zhongqiu again: "Thank you Holy Master for the sword!" ”

Nakaoka just chuckled and didn't say anything.

Raising his head, Gu Jieshuang wanted to ask something, but suddenly found some clues.

Nakagaoka's body...... Why is there a rift? Looks like it's going to crumble?

Zhong Qiu seemed to sense Gu Jieshuang's doubts, and said, "I was just a trace of his sword intent, and when I used my sword intent, it was naturally when I dissipated. ”

"Huh?" Gu Xie Shuang suddenly became a little anxious, "Is there any remedy......

Although he knew that the person in front of him was not Zhongqiu, even if it was only a part, she didn't want him to dissipate like this...... Not to mention anything else, if he stayed in the Feng Yue Cang, then with the talent of the boss, maybe sooner or later he would be able to create the means of the resurrection saint master!

How can it be dissipated for her sake?

But Zhongqiu just waved his hand lightly: "Housheng, don't be anxious - next, there is another sword." ”

"And ......?"

"My strength is limited, I can only give you two swords, don't do it, don't do it as evil."

Zhong Qiu stretched out his hand, and a shimmering light lit up on the long sword, Gu Xie Shuang looked over, and those glimmers were glowing small characters.

I saw him say softly:

"The sword and pen are engraved, and the nations are books;"

Zhongqiu's body slowly floated, raising his sword, countless words swept over the sword body and disappeared into the void, although the light was faint, it made people feel solemn and shocked in their hearts.

"Jade is a stone - spring and autumn are like obscurity!"

Boom!

The sound of gold and iron!

In an instant, Gu Jieshuang only felt that countless vicissitudes of life were coming from in front of her, and she seemed to be in the torrent of history, and in just one moment, she had been submerged in it, speechless.

I don't know how long it took.

Gu Xie Shuang woke up on the clouds again.

She looked at the sky, and for a moment, she only felt that this place was no longer Feng Yue, and the pressure in her brain was almost inaudible.

"You're awake, the afterlife."

Gu Xie Shuang turned his head, and Zhong Qiu was standing beside him.

At this moment, he suddenly seemed to be much older, his face had a lot of wrinkles, even the sword at his waist had disappeared, and his body was covered with golden cracks, and he looked on the verge of collapse.

"Holy Master? You're ......"

"I'm leaving." Nakaoka still had a friendly smile on his face.

"It's because I...... But you don't need to, when a young man named Yu Cang passes by here, he will definitely find a way to get you out of here......"

Only then did Gu Xie Shuang understand why when she mentioned her boss, he would say "I can't see it".

Could it be that from the first time he saw himself, he decided to teach him the sword intent...... At the cost of dissipation?

Hearing this, Zhongqiu laughed out loud, and at the end, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Who said that I was trapped here." ”

"Then you ......"

"Zhongqiu, Zhongqiu, in his life, he has taught everything he has learned." Countless fragments slowly fell off the figure's body, and the golden light became more and more intense, "But only I can't teach others sword intent." The only disciple who was expected to comprehend was still dead in the war. ”

The figure looked at the sky, his gaze was very calm: "Sword intent...... He searched all over the countries, but he couldn't find anything that could carry the sword intent, and he couldn't even leave the sword intent for future generations to crack - the only place where the sword intent could be preserved was this Yue Cangjian.

"What about learning from the world? The knowledge that cannot be passed on is only water without a source after all. ”

Gu Jieshuang looked at Zhongqiu, who was constantly dissipating, and wanted to speak.

Truly...... It is difficult for sword intent to find a suitable carrier. Even today, when the soul card science has developed extremely maturely, Ning Xingyi is still inspired by Yu Cang and consumed a lot of precious materials to make the sword intent soul card.

In Zhongqiu's time, the totem had just been improved into a book, and it was too normal for him to find a suitable carrier.

And Feng Yue Cangjian has special rules, between the first layer and the second layer, countless wills have left traces here, and sword intent can also stay in it.

"So." The figure turned his head and looked at Gu Jieshuang, "Now that I have found a descendant who can learn, and this descendant happens to be willing to learn, how can I not teach him?" You don't have to regret it, if you are Yu Canglai, he may not be able to learn my two swords. ”

Gu Jieshuang was slightly silent.

Indeed, it is a fact that the boss does not know how to use a sword...... But she always felt that the boss must have a way.

"Okay, that's all for gossip first." The figure shook his head slightly, "Now you are only a beginner with two swords, and you don't have a soul card in your hand...... That's fine, I don't think he would mind helping me make two Sword Intent Soul Cards. ”

He is constantly learning, since Gu Jieshuang came to Fengyue Cangjian with that sword intent soul card, and has used it so many times, he must have probably learned it, and it is not difficult to make a soul card.

Although each soul card master can only get one soul card when he enters Feng Yue Cangjian, there are always exceptions, and he Zhongqiu still has the face.

"Okay." Gu Jieshuang took a deep breath, then took the disciple salute and bowed slightly, "Disciple Gu Jieshuang, thank you for the sword!" ”

“…… I'm not him. The figure looked at the sky, half of its body had completely dissipated, "Alright, continue your path to the sky." ”

"Ascend to the sky...... Holy Master, can I ask you one more question? Gu Jieshuang hurriedly asked, "What do I need to pay attention to when I go to the third layer?" ”

"The third layer...... I do not know. ”

"Huh?" Gu Xie Shuang was stunned.

"Because, he has only reached the second layer."

"How could it be ......" Gu Xie Shuang gasped.

Could it be that he is as powerful as Saint Master Zhongqiu, and he can't touch the third layer...... However, doesn't it mean that myths can reach the third level......

"No, he doesn't want to." The figure said slowly, "The last of the triple limits is the limit of existence, and those who pass this level will return with all beings chanting their names!" And he...... Oh, he doesn't want to listen to sentient beings chanting names, he only wants to see everyone like a dragon. ”

Call......

The figure completely dissipated, turned into fragments, and disappeared into the sea of clouds.

……

"Sentient beings chanting names?" Yu Cang blinked.

"That's right." Jiang Shan nodded, his expression solemn, "When it reaches the third limit, the body and spirit are all dissolved, and there is only one name left, even if it is Fengyue Cangjian itself, it can't be repaired directly, so I want all beings to recite the name." ”

Zhong Sheng continued, "As long as you pass the third limit, a round of golden light will immediately burst out from above Zun Yue, shining in all directions. Anyone who is illuminated by the golden light will know your name as soon as possible, and will call out your name consciously or unconsciously.

"When the time comes, you will return to the world with the sound of your true name being recited. And those people will also know that there will be another myth of the future in the world. ”

Yu Cang sighed: "Sounds ...... It's pompous indeed. ”

"That's right, so when Ye Yan was about to break through the third level, he gave up directly. He said that he would be embarrassed to be called by so many people. ”

“…… I'm embarrassed to change me. Yu Cang could only say that.

Jiang Shan was still looking at the sky, and his eyes showed surprise: "Defrost her...... Still up? The second layer is not her limit? Do I want to witness the birth of a future myth today......"

Jiang Shan's eyes showed expectation, but before he could say anything more, he saw a sound like a twilight drum and morning bell coming from the sky!

In an instant, the clouds that filled the sky revealed a hollow, in which the glow of the sky was full of light, and the sound of the sky was endless, shocking and at the same time with a certain melody, as if the sky was playing music!

The second half of Jiang Shan's sentence was suddenly swallowed back into his mouth.

"Heaven seals the order...... It seems that the defrosting is the second layer, but unfortunately ......"

"What are you sorry for?" Zhong Sheng glared, "You only passed the first layer, and it's a pity for others...... No matter what you say, people are better than you! ”

"Good, good." Jiang Shan nodded hurriedly.

At this time, a ray of light fell from the sky and landed on the towering top, and suddenly the light collapsed like stardust, and Gu Jieshuang's figure appeared in it.

Her eyes were closed, and her clothes had not changed since she entered the Feng Yue Cang room—her clothes had also been repaired.

The contours of the facial features are still the same as before, but I don't know if it's an illusion, Yu Cang always feels that it is much more harmonious than before, and the dead skin and calluses on his hands have all disappeared, and the skin is as soft as a baby.

Just standing there with his eyes closed, a breath of dust was generated out of thin air, like a fairy in the sky.

Suddenly, Gu Jieshuang opened her eyes, and the little starlight gradually disappeared in the pupils, and her eyes found Yu Cang for the first time.

Then, a smile appeared on his face.

"Boss, I'm back!"
