Chapter 19: The Way of the Twin Lives

After all, Yao Xiang is the granddaughter of the Beitian Sword Saint, and what she has learned is far better than others who specialize in her life, Yao Xiang's achievements in the way of the sword are not low, but Shi Sheng and the two elders of the Beitian are both single sword schools of cultivation, and Yao Xiang is the double sword school of cultivation.

The dual sword is more flexible than the single sword and has more variations, so the core of Yao Xiang's swordsmanship lies in the word change, which is the cultivation direction formulated by the Northern Heaven Sword Saint according to Yao Xiang's qualifications, in Shi Sheng's opinion, Yao Xiang is indeed very suitable for using dual swords.

If you want to make Yao Xiang reach the strength of the monarch level in a year or two, Shi Sheng roughly thought of two methods, the first is the longitudinal method, when Xiao Lanyu told Shi Sheng about the magic energy crystal, by the way, he told Shi Sheng about the cultivation method of improving the quality of the magic energy crystal, so Shi Sheng bought five hundred magic energy crystals from Qu Yousheng, and planned to give two hundred of them to Yao Xiang, so that she could complete the first level of cultivation of the longitudinal method.

The second method is the exclusive source energy technique, Shi Sheng's exclusive source energy technique, which is the dragon appearance technique, which greatly improves his strength, if Yao Xiang can practice his own exclusive source energy technique, he will not be able to reach the monarch-level strength at the beginning.

Yao Xiang's cultivation talent, the highest is control, followed by easy qi, and the refining of the body is at the bottom, but Yao Xiang has taken the ambergris fruit, the I Ching cut the marrow, and the refining talent is already at the level of demons, and he is fast in his efforts, and he believes that he will soon be able to reach the level of consummation of the Xuan Realm.

The exclusive source energy technique created with the talent of refining the body is usually broken by force, straight to the point, and there is not too much fantasy and weirdness, but Yao Xiang's original talent is better to control and easy qi, which is a combination of the two. The source energy techniques created are usually very peculiar, with all kinds of strange characteristics, and once practiced, they can definitely make the strength of the martial artist suddenly increase a lot.

Therefore, Shi Sheng's cultivation plan for Yao Xiang is the cultivation of the vertical method and the creation of exclusive source energy techniques, and creating one's own exclusive source energy techniques cannot be achieved overnight. It should match the character of the warrior. In order to bring the talent of the martial artist to the extreme.

Shi Sheng told Yao Xiang in detail about his experience when he created the Void Tribulation, bit by bit. Hopefully she'll find some inspiration from it. In order to create your own exclusive Source Energy Technique. Yao Xiang listened, and soon thought of a source energy technique that was very consistent with his own characteristics. Immediately couldn't wait to start cultivating, Shi Sheng asked what the source energy technique was, but Yao Xiang smiled and said nothing, claiming that she would keep it secret before she practiced, and Shi Sheng could only let her go.

In the days that followed, Shi Sheng and Yao Xiang lived in the Zhong family's land, cultivating with peace of mind, Shi Sheng's sword heart had reached the third level of perfection, while participating in the "Nameless Sword Codex", while improving his sword-casting skills, and making rapid progress, in just three months, Shi Sheng's sword-casting skills were upgraded from the early stage of the third level to the third-level perfection, and the two-life sword was also successfully promoted to the level of the king-level upper grade!

Shi Sheng was surprised to find that the appearance of the two-life sword, which had reached the top grade of the king level, was exactly the same as the sword of the heart on the lake of life in Shi Sheng's body, without the slightest difference! This made Shi Sheng very surprised, and he couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, so he just asked for it.

At this point, Shi Sheng's sword-casting skills encountered a bottleneck for the first time, that is, from the third-level consummation to the fourth-level swordsmith, which is a very large span, after all, in the entire history of the southern corner, there are only a handful of swordsmithing skills that can reach the fourth level.

If you want to become a fourth-level swordsmith, first of all, the sword heart has to reach the fourth level of the sword heart origin, this is a very difficult thing, among the contemporary characters in the southern corner, only the Northern Heaven Sword Saint has reached the realm of the sword heart origin, after a hundred years old, even further, the sword heart has been raised to the fifth level!

It is not so much that Shi Sheng's sword-casting technique has encountered a bottleneck, but that his sword heart cultivation has encountered a bottleneck, after all, from the sword heart to the sword heart origin, this is a qualitative leap, just like the realm of the Xuan Realm and the realm of the end, it is a completely different concept of the realm!

Martial arts cultivation, do not rush for quick success, Shi Sheng encountered a bottleneck in the cultivation of the sword heart, so he simply put the cultivation of the sword heart aside, and first comprehended the inheritance left by the Northern Heaven Sword Saint, after all, the sword heart and the sword path complement each other, the higher the achievement in the sword path, the faster the cultivation of the sword heart will be.

In the blink of an eye, another three months passed, Shi Sheng took a large amount of spirit grass every day, step by step, and finally raised the longitudinal method to the third level, Shi Sheng's breath was so condensed and thick that he felt incredible!

The vertical method is a part of the body of the source, and the body of the source is the foundation of the use of the source, Shi Sheng raised the vertical method to the third level, and the power of the use of the source is naturally greatly improved, no matter whether it is the dragon fire seal, or the ash flame armor, or the dragon manifestation technique, etc., are not the same as a few months ago.

After the longitudinal method reached the third level, Shi Sheng didn't even need to unlock the Zhenlong Seal, he already had emperor-level strength! Compared to the main song of the Mountain and Sea Pavilion, it was not much worse! However, Shi Sheng knew very well in his heart that only the emperor-level strength was still very insufficient to fight with the Tomb Shadow Society, so Shi Sheng did not relax at all, and still practiced with all his might.

In the past six months, Shi Sheng will participate in the inheritance left by the Northern Heavenly Sword Saint every day, the famous skill of the Northern Heavenly Sword Saint is the Tiangang Eight Style, Shi Sheng originally thought that in the inheritance of the Northern Heaven Sword Saint, the cultivation method of the Tiangang Eight Style will be recorded, but there is no such thing at all, the inheritance of the Northern Heaven Sword Saint is divided into two parts, the upper half is the cultivation method of the sword heart, subtle and mysterious, compared to the "Heart Nourishment Formula" passed to Shi Sheng by Uncle Xi Qi at the beginning, I don't know how many times it is smarter, cultivate according to the law, step by step, and even cultivate the sword heart to the fifth level!

As for the second half, it is purely a perception, a perception of the way of the sword, a perception of the way of heaven, without any moves, any method, not so much that it is a secret book of martial arts, but that it is a scripture of the Tao, without any substantive content, although so, Shi Sheng understands very well in his heart that these scriptures are the true inheritance of the Northern Heavenly Sword Saint, and the fundamental reason why the Northern Heavenly Sword Saint is so powerful!

All things in heaven and earth are born in existence, there are born in nothing, all things in the world are of the same origin and the same ancestry, and kendo is no exception, the inheritance left by the Northern Heaven Sword Saint directly points to the origin of swordsmanship, and its original intention is not to teach future generations kendo, but to inspire future generations and help future generations find their own kendo.

People are different, so what they are good at, the pursuit of the sword, are different, the way is born from the heart, only with their own heart as the foundation, the way of the sword, is the most suitable for their own sword, and finally can be the best, this is the essence of the inheritance of the Northern Heaven Sword Saint!

It is precisely because of this that the Northern Heavenly Sword Saint did not leave the cultivation method of the Tiangang Eight Style, because the Eight Styles of Tiangang originated from the Tiangang Sword Dao of the Northern Heaven Sword Saint, and the Tiangang Sword Dao was the sword path that he realized from the heart of the Northern Heaven Sword Saint, and it was not necessarily suitable for his successor.

Shi Sheng finally understood why the Northern Heaven Sword Saint didn't leave the inheritance to Yao Xiang, because Yao Xiang's perception of the sword path was still too far away, and if he came into contact with the profound theory of the Northern Heaven Sword Saint too early, he would definitely fall into a tangled cycle, which would cause great harm but no benefit.

Shi Sheng according to the inheritance of the Northern Heaven Sword Saint, sorted out his own enlightenment in the way of the sword, every day to spend a lot of time to meditate, the perception of his own sword, in the process of meditation, Shi Sheng will be from childhood to adulthood, all the experience of learning the sword, one by one, bit by bit accumulation, like a grit dust-like feeling, no distractions, the whole body is devoted to it, sometimes a sitting is ten days and a half months, no food, no drink, no sleep, like a statue, motionless.

After months of accumulation of perceptions, this day, Shi Sheng's transformation in kendo has finally come.

Shi Sheng's "my way" is a god and martial arts do not kill, his sword is born from this, the sword is a killing weapon, and the anger is extremely heavy, but if the sword people are merciful and cannot save people from the beginning, then what kind of sword is the sword that saves people? What kind of sword is the sword of the world? Shi Sheng's heart, finally to the sword, the sword itself, has a unique cognition that only belongs to himself, this is his Shi Sheng's sword!

Shi Sheng found his own way of swords, he was on the way to the sword, he can be regarded as a real entry, no matter what kind of swordsmanship he learns again, it will only be like, not godlike, because the most fundamental meaning has been replaced by his Shi Sheng's swordsmanship! Even if Shi Sheng learns the Tiangang Eight Styles, it will be very different from the Tiangang Eight Styles of the Northern Heavenly Sword Saint.

However, since Shi Sheng already has his own kendo, why should he learn other people's swordsmanship? No matter what swordsmanship, Shi Sheng only needs to remove its dross, take its essence, and add these essences to his own kendo, so as to improve and enhance his own kendo, just like a dress and embellishment, no matter how it changes, it will never change from its original form, and its core concept will never change.

After that, Shi Sheng rewrote "The Sword of the Two Lives" according to his own kendo, and named his own sword path "The Way of the Two Lives".

Shi Sheng's "clumsy sword" was originally just a "clumsy" application skills, and after he realized the two-life sword, he completely transformed and perfected the "clumsy sword" with the two-life sword, and created his first original swordsmanship - Beitian style, after all, drinking water and thinking of the source, Shi Sheng was named after "Beitian", naturally to commemorate the Beitian Sword Saint.

After creating the Beitian style, Shi Sheng turned back to cultivate the sword heart, his perception of the sword path, by leaps and bounds, compared to a few months ago, it can be said that the sky is the same as the earth, not the same day, from a high vantage point, and then to cultivate the sword heart, naturally it is to improve the speed, break through the bottleneck in one fell swoop, and raise the sword heart to the fourth level - the origin of the sword heart!
