Chapter 7: The First Sun
The process of inducing qi into the body is difficult to say, but it is simple and indeed simple.
As a sign that mortals have embarked on the path of immortals, the introduction of qi into the body naturally has its special significance, but after all, it is only the first step on the path of cultivation, and if you really want to talk about the difficulty, it is not as great as imagined.
There was no earth-shattering, no ghost crying, a wisp of aura and the true qi in the body slowly combined, although the true qi followed the circulation of the aura when exhaling, and gradually traveled all over the body.
Chu He, who had been sitting cross-legged, finally showed a smile at this time.
By this time, the true qi in his body was completely different from before. To put it bluntly, what was in Chu He's body before was only the acquired qi, but at this time, it was the innate qi.
The entire process of advancing to the Qi Refining Period seemed to be uneventful, and it was completely a feeling of natural progress. In fact, the accumulation in Chu He's body has indeed reached the extreme, and there is only one opportunity left for him to have an epiphany and comprehend the trick of guiding aura into his body.
However, before Chu He could rejoice, he was shocked, and the sword code in the sea of consciousness suddenly erupted with a suction force, completely sucking his consciousness into it.
If someone observes Chu He from the outside at this time, they will find that his current state is like the legendary deep epiphany, that is, he can't wake up no matter how he cuts with a knife. Of course, Chu He didn't enter any epiphany, his consciousness was forcibly dragged into the picture scroll, and he couldn't find a way out of it for the time being.
The surroundings were dark, as if he was in the deepest chaos, and under his feet was the sword book engraved with countless dark gold flow patterns, allowing Chu He to successfully enter the Qi refining period.
There are always some flaws in the observation of Zhihai in the state of internal vision, at least Chu He has never observed the Sword Book so closely and without dead ends. It was precisely because of it that Chu He really saw the magical structure of this picture.
Needless to say, the two mysterious and quaint characters in the center, but the phantoms of the swords around them made Chu He see their true colors clearly.
What a sword phantom! This is clearly a myriad of swords that have been imprinted on the scroll, and then form strange patterns!
Earlier, he also looked down from top to bottom, but due to the extreme distance, Chu He always thought that those sword shadows were suspended in the air, and it was only now that he understood that these were two-dimensional existences.
In the very center of the Sword Codex, there was already a flying sword that really stood up, it was the Chuyang Sword Soul - Chu He had never known whether the thing in front of him could be called a sword spirit, so he could only call it a sword soul.
However, the bright part was only a small piece near the First Yang Sword Soul, and the rest of the picture scroll was gray. Chu He suddenly had a glimmer of realization in his heart, I am afraid that the carrying capacity of the Sword Code is not unlimited, at least at present, it is absolutely impossible to absorb the sword soul infinitely.
After staring at the aura around the Chuyang Sword Soul for a long time, Chu He finally determined one thing, that is, in the current state of the Sword Codex, he could also absorb a sword that was not weaker than the Chuyang Sword.
After having this cognition, Chu He suddenly realized that the endurance of the Sword Code was related to something. Don't forget, the first sword that the Sword Code absorbs is not Chu Yang, but the standard flying sword!
Of course, the standard flying sword has not been warmed by the monks, so it will not contain the aura of activating the sword codex, which is the reason why there is only the Chuyang sword in the sword codex.
Chu He could imagine that if the Sword Code was not fully opened, I am afraid that its effect would be limited to extracting the sword soul, and it would be impossible to develop towards the sword soul again.
If this is the case, the value of the sword code will be greatly reduced. After years of exploration, martial arts practice has long been a system of its own, and the transformation of the soldier spirit is only the first step, and then there is the differentiation of the soldier spirit, the integration of the Dan spirit, and so on.
Straight to the point. Since the first one to be extracted was the Flying Sword Soul, then why wasn't it in the Sword Codex? The best explanation is that when the Sword Book was first opened, it didn't have the ability to absorb two flying swords.
So what changes have happened to Chu He during this period of time? The most significant change is undoubtedly the introduction of qi into the body and the successful breakthrough of the qi refining period!
In other words, since the Sword Book already existed in Chu He's body, its ability to absorb the sword was likely to be related to Chu He's own cultivation.
The thought had not yet stalled, perhaps it was affected by the thoughts in Chu He's heart, and the sword soul of the flying sword actually flew over slowly, intending to seize the remaining vacant seat in the sword codex.
This discovery almost made Chu He jump in shock. Who knows if the empty space in the Dao Sword Book can be replaced with other swords after it is occupied. If he couldn't, how could Chu He let a garbage flying sword come in and waste resources?
So Chu He hurriedly took two steps forward, waved his hand to block the dangling flying sword, and then stood in place again, quietly waiting for the sword codex's reaction.
He was already vaguely aware that it was probably not for nothing that Jian Dian dragged his consciousness here.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, the sword phantom on the sword code began to emit bursts of light, and the First Yang Sword Soul also began to vibrate according to a special frequency.
Under Chu He's strange gaze, the Chuyang Sword Soul turned out to be more and more red, and finally began to change its form, turning into a sword-wielding man dressed in a fiery red robe.
"Poor Dao Chu Yang, I have seen Taoist friends. The Taoist looked at Chu He and said with a smile.
The corners of Chu He's mouth twitched slightly, confirming one thing again, that is, this picture is indeed from the earth, and it will not be the original product of this continent.
After the flourishing of martial arts, under the influence of the martial arts ethos, the names of the monks to each other also changed. In addition to Zhongzhou Xuanmen, "Daoyou" has become a relatively formal title, and generally does not speak like this in private.
Chu He also did the same, and made a joke to say hello to the other party, but this Chuyang Daoist ignored Chu He and danced his sword by himself.
At first, Chu He didn't feel anything, but as time passed, he faintly felt that something was wrong. That scholar has followed Fourth Young Master Chu for many years, and he still has some vision, and he has also seen the nameless swordsman make a move.
At this time, I looked at it again, but I found that the swordsmanship used by the Chuyang Dao people was quite similar to the nameless swordsman at the beginning, and it was ...... It seems even more subtle!
An incredible thought arose in Chu He's heart: Could it be that this sword soul has become a Taoist can show himself the sword technique suitable for this sword?
Without waiting for Chu He to react, the Chuyang Daoist who was still dancing the sword had already opened his mouth and chanted: "The Chuyang Sword Technique is divided into nine styles, one style and nine swords. If you can integrate the nine-style sword moves, and the ninety-nine-eighty-one swords are combined, you can trigger the fire of the heart and directly incinerate the opponent's divine sense. ”
While speaking, the movements in the hands of the Chuyang Daoist did not pause, but slowed down their movements and began to show Chu He every sword move of the Chuyang Sword Technique.
Chu He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and there was only one thought in his heart: this time it was really ......
I don't know how long it took to say that Chu He, who had been sitting cross-legged in the room, suddenly jumped up, but then his body shook violently, as if he was about to lose his footing.
Holding on to the table a little speechlessly, Chu He knew that this was the result of overdraft, and observing the swordsmanship in the consciousness space, it seemed that the consumption of spiritual consciousness was particularly obvious.
Chu He looked up at the sundial in the room, and not much time had passed. He was sure that he had been practicing his sword for far more than that, not to mention the process of inducing qi into his body before.
It seems that in the space of consciousness, time is completely still.
This is definitely good news for Chu He. Not because it saves time, but because he knows very well how dangerous it is for a monk to completely escape his consciousness into his body.
It's better to say in a safe environment, but what if it's surrounded by strong enemies?
But if you can learn swordsmanship in an instant, it's completely different.
Chu He quickly weighed the pros and cons in his heart, but at the same time, he sat down again weakly. Although he was very tired now, so tired that he wanted to get a good night's sleep, Chu He knew that if he could cultivate in this state, it would be very beneficial to the cultivation of divine consciousness.
Although the true divine consciousness will not appear until the Jindan period, this does not prevent the monks from theoretically researching and discovering the means of exercising the divine consciousness during the foundation building period or even the qi refining period.
This cultivation was a few hours later, and by the time Chu He woke up again, the sky had completely darkened.
"It's time. Chu He looked at the dark night outside the house, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and his figure flickered, and disappeared from the house without a trace.
Half an hour later, on a small hill a few miles away from Tianji Peak.
"Thousand Grave Mountain, Phantom Forest, really lives up to its name. ”
Chu He stood on the high hill, his eyes fell on the deep and lonely mountain forest in front of him, and it was difficult to move away for a long time. The cold mountain breeze passed through, revealing a seeping atmosphere.
The Phantom Forest on the Thousand Tombs Mountain is exactly the place set up within the Qianyang Martial Sect for the disciples in the sect to hone themselves or kill spirit beasts in exchange for spirit stone cultivation.
If there is no Sword Codex, I'm afraid Chu He also needs to come here and use the crisis to hone himself in order to find an opportunity to break through.
Of course, Chu He's intention is not like this now, he is just here to practice swords.
The passage of time could not be felt in the consciousness space, but Chu He knew that the time he spent in it was no more than a cup of tea, and his mastery of the Chuyang Sword Technique could only be said to be superficial.
There are a total of nine styles of the Chuyang Sword Technique, and Chu He has just practiced the first style, and he is not even a small one. If you don't consolidate it immediately in reality, I'm afraid you'll forget it all later.
And Chu He was reluctant to try his sword on Tianji Peak, naturally because he was worried that the aura fluctuations when he came out of the sword would attract the attention of others, and only Thousand Tombs Mountain was the best choice.
The Phantom Forest is a suitable place for mortal realm and Qi refining period cultivators, but most of the monks only enter it during the day, and at most they will come out in the evening.
Because at night, the danger in the Phantom Forest will increase greatly, and even the Phantom Leopard will appear during the foundation building period, and this is where the name of the Phantom Forest comes from.
So trying the sword here, Chu He was not worried that too many people would pay attention to him.
As for the safety issue, the Thousand Grave Mountain is so big, only the central circle is the Shadow Forest, and Chu He didn't run into it, where would there be any danger.
After all, this is still within the sect, even if the accidental casualties are counted, if the disciples can die in vain, the Qianyang Martial Sect is not worthy of being called the three major sects in the south.
