Among the original four artifacts, the Xuanming Sword is independent and the end of the world.

This "ghostly" person is actually more of a "death" word of "life and death", one of the original meanings of "shadow", in short, there is "shadow" but not "bright".

After all, the original Xuanming Sword only represented the end of all things, and was not good at the change of life and death.

But now the situation is different, it is entirely possible for Lingjun to do the word "Youming", yin and yang, life and death, people, ghosts and gods, tangible and invisible, all can be transformed from two to one life, and from two to many, which is the fundamental principle of her kendo.

For mortals, there is always an inexplicable sense of horror in the rise and fall of life and death, and everyone in this cycle cannot break free, but can only use their own lives as a footnote to it, which has to be said to be a kind of sadness.

However, cultivators who should be free from the red dust and transcend the world in the eyes of mortals are actually unable to break free from this reincarnation, the difference is only that they have extended the time scale of this reincarnation, and there is no difference in essence.

How difficult it is to understand the changes of the Shadows!

Lingjun only has this potential, not that she will succeed if she wants to.

Therefore, before the completion of the Great Dao he built, Ling Jun was still in the bureau, so naturally he should develop some "small paths" that can protect his body on the basis of this Dao - maybe this is a little biased, then it will be called "Sword Pole".

Extremely, at the top, she hopes that her sword path, even the branches, can develop to the highest subtle and profound realm.

"The first realm of the sword pole is a moment sword. Lingjun closed his eyes and held the sword, and said to himself in his heart, "Since the rules of my sword path have been determined, I should follow this way, and I am the rule, so it is a regular sword." ”

So how do you "follow me"?

Ling Jun thinks that there are two kinds of "self-rule" in this world:

One is to be self-respecting and do what I want, which is based on my temperament and thoughts, and I don't need to care about secular rules, let alone care about people's words.

The second is to lead by example and practice my way, which is based on my true intention and the way, and even I must obey my own way, which cannot be shaken.

At first glance, the two sound contradictory, the former seems to be more superficial but dashing, and the latter is closer to the core of the truth, but it is inevitably restrained.

In this regard, Lingjun's idea is that only children make choices, and adults certainly want them all!

In fact, one and two are not contradictory – or rather, they are essentially the same meaning.

This is not because things are necessarily the opposite, but because there are too many people in this world who do not understand what their hearts really desire, and what they do is not in line with their own ways.

Another reason is that it is difficult for people to get rid of the influence of the unspoken rules of the general environment, and it is easy for them to put their Tao under the so-called "social rules" - this is understandable in Yan Xixuan's world, but in the world of mountains and seas, this world of cultivators, this world where no one can set rules, everyone only needs to be themselves, whether it is eternal or destroyed, there is no need for another social value judgment, right?

Lingjun suddenly realized, and suddenly understood what his problem was.

Her sword path is Youming, and she has also gone through the cycle of life and death, but this does not mean that she has really followed my path - on the contrary, her strong desire to survive is contrary to it!

If she can't truly break the rejection and fear of death, she can only comprehend the superficial meaning of "Youming" in this life, and it is impossible to truly understand the change of Youming!

Blessed to her heart, Lingjun understood the essence of this test set for her by the Colorful Light Troupe - it was a torture of her heart.

Ink Monster One's ability is infinite rebirth and infinite multiplication, and they cannot be really killed at first, because this test is intended to create a sense of death for her, and only if she forgets her own safety, ignores her own life and death, and fights them with the determination to die, she can only kill them.

But this does not mean that she can really see through life and death, in fact, she is still far away.

Ling Jun had no doubt that if he delayed for a while, when his mental defense was completely defeated by Ink Monster No. 2, Ink Monster No. 1 would make a comeback.

And the Ink Monster No. 2 does not represent her fear of human words, but reflects her inner confusion - human words may not be with you, but if you can't break through your inner confusion, it will always be by your side.

Lingjun's confusion is reflected in all aspects, not knowing the origin is one, not knowing the future is one, and doubting his own avenue and his own character is another.

With so much confusion piled up in her heart, it was already backlogged to a critical point, and it was just a breeze to be detonated by the ghost ghost heart map.

In the future, there may be Ink Monster No. 3 and Ink Monster No. 4...... It was waiting for her, all her fears, her doubts, and her imperfections.

A true monk does not need to have many natural treasures, divine weapons, nor does he have to go through many life and death crises and tests—those are just superficial things, they are external objects that strengthen themselves, and they are the way to recognize themselves.

A true monk only needs to recognize himself and be able to fight for his future and take responsibility for his choices.

Regardless of their status in the mundane sense, noble or corrupt character, if they have achieved this, they are already very great—this is the established rule of the cultivation realm.

After realizing this, Lingjun was still in the mysterious realm of examining herself, but the Ink Monster No. 2 that surrounded her was like ice and snow in the sun, gradually melting, but in a moment, the group of monsters with no end in sight was already three-quarters less, and it was still decreasing.

Ink Monster Two struggles in fear, but they don't have the ability to attack directly, and can only influence Lingjun's state of mind by cursing - but Lingjun is no longer what it used to be, and even if you can hear their vicious curses, they will no longer be affected.

"The second realm of the sword pole, my name is the oath sword. There are rules, and the oath is not violated. ”

Lingjun was immersed in the perfection of his own kendo system, and he did not know what time it was, "In the future, every sword of mine should practice my way, and not violate the oath of my heart—if there is any violation, it is a broken oath, and those who break the oath will be punished by heaven." ”

In the dark, she felt that the sword oath she had made had been recognized by the Heavenly Dao, but she did not regret setting this constraint for herself.

The sword oath is to her, just like the grand wish is to the Buddha's cultivation, although once it is violated or cannot be achieved, she will be punished extremely severely by the Heavenly Dao, but there is also an advantage - if you keep walking on the right path, not only will there be no punishment, but the cultivation speed will be higher to a higher level.

"If one day I break my oath of the sword, it will be my fall. Lingjun muttered, "Since you are depraved, you naturally deserve to be damned." ”

Moreover, when the time comes, her Dao heart will be shaken, and the consequences will be unimaginable, and it makes no difference whether she is punished by God or not.

"The Third Realm of the Sword Pole...... When it is a hidden sword. The sword is my soul, let it be hidden, so that it is like an antelope hanging on its horns, unpredictable. ”

Ling Jun is good at using the sword, but in the past, for various reasons, she always used the sword as a weapon to protect herself and kill people - perhaps this is a very common thing for some sword cultivators, but she gradually understands that this is not a reasonable and normal phenomenon.

Can anyone who can use a sword be called a sword cultivator?

No, sword cultivation is not enough to make a sword, nor is it enough to have a natal flying sword, it is enough to claim that you are following the XX sword path, but to truly regard yourself and the sword as one.

The sword of sword cultivation is spiritual, and it is an extension of the soul of sword cultivation.

If you only use the sword to kill people, and only use it as a tool, and separate yourself from the sword, then what kind of sword cultivation is it? Isn't it the same if you use a knife or a gun?

But there are too many sword cultivators in this world who can't do this, even if it's Lingjun, the sword spirit whose essence is a sword, hasn't he realized this until now?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel ashamed, feeling that she had really lowered the tone of the word by calling herself a sword cultivator in the past.

It was precisely by thinking about this that Ling Jun woke up to the fact that sword cultivation did not need to deliberately distinguish himself from other monks, he did not need to practice his sword for eleven and a half hours a day for twelve hours, and he did not need to deliberately behave arrogantly, murderously, persistently, and look down on monks who had all kinds of leisure and leisure.

Sword cultivation only needs to be himself.

Hiding the sword does not mean that the sword will not be used in the future, or that the sword will only be used at critical moments, but that it will not be used all the time, but it will not be discovered by outsiders.

It's not a ploy to hide people's eyes, it's just a norm as it should be.

Go with the flow, Lingjun also understood how the next realm should be-

"The fourth realm of the sword pole is regarded as the sword guts of the piano heart. ”

This seems to be a rotten word today, but how many people can really do it?

At the very least, in Ling Jun's opinion, if someone can't comprehend the true meaning of the hidden sword in the third realm of the sword pole, it is impossible to understand what the real "Qin Heart Sword Guts" are.

It is not that cultivating a few so-called elegant hobbies such as playing the piano and plucking the strings and playing the flute will have the heart of the piano, nor is it that the ability to pull out the mountains and have the courage of the sword, it is a state of mind, which refers to both fun and courage.

Lingjun can't do this yet, because ...... For her, the word "fun" is so far away that it seems to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and it is really difficult for a survival machine.

But fortunately, she has recognized her own shortcomings, just like an artificial intelligence that has sprouted self-consciousness - she thinks that she really needs to recapture the Xuanming Sword and survive in the treacherous mountains and seas, but at the same time, she also has to enjoy life, to discover the beauty and cruelty of this world, and after clearly recognizing all this, she can still have the courage to pursue the road and never stop on the path she has chosen.

Ling Jun said silently, "I will do it sooner or later." ”

......

In the Sword Shadow Spirit Book Building, although the colorful light group has been paying attention to the movements in the ghost dragon's heart map, but enlightenment is an extremely self-contained and extremely personal thing, it naturally can't guess what Ling Jun has comprehended, but as long as he looks at the decreasing ink monster, he also knows that things are developing in a good direction.

"Can you finally see through it? ”

The colorful light group said "it's okay", but it is actually very harsh.

Throughout the ages, there have been countless monks who have died in the Ghost Diagram of Asking Hearts, and very few have survived, and the standard for evaluating the performance of Lingjun is to correspond to all the monks who have survived, and if it corresponds to all the monks who have entered the Diagram of Ghost Diagrams, then it is naturally "very good".

The Colorful Light Cluster faintly realized that this Demon Sword Spirit was indeed more powerful than it had imagined at the beginning.

"I hope you can keep it up, it saves a lot of trouble. It whispered to the people in the scroll, "The spirit born after the fall of the artifact is both divine and demonic, but it lacks a little bit of humanity - maybe you can understand this truth." ”

The years flowed silently, silently, and gradually many years passed.

Mountains and seas, nine domains and twelve continents.

Since the news that the Xuanming Sword was in the hands of the Hades God Sect, there were not a few people who coveted this peerless divine weapon, and there was gossip that the Hades God Sect Master had broken with the Phantom Ghost King, and those alien powers who were originally afraid of the might of the Ghost King couldn't help but want to stir up the situation.

Nowadays, there are several first-class forces that have publicly expressed their desire for the Xuanming Sword, among which the positions of the Jiushao Palace, the Xuanshen Sword Sect, the Creation Divine Palace, and the Taicang Divine Temple are the most unshakable.

Naturally, Jiushao Palace doesn't need to say much, and the Xuanshen Sword Sect is the largest sword cultivation sect in the world, and it is not uncommon to want the Xuanming Sword as an artifact of the Zhenzong Sect.

The Creation Divine Palace is the world's largest refining sect, and the greatest wish of the whole sect is to refine an artifact, but unfortunately the artifact never appeared in the past, and they didn't have a reference standard even if they wanted to refine it, so now they can't count on the Xuanming Sword?

As for the Taicang Temple...... This god-like force can do everything, and no one will think about its motives.

The pressure exerted by the four first-grade sects, and Rao is the Underworld Sect is the bull's ear of the Demon Dao, and he can't bear it.

And just when almost all the monks in the world were focusing on the Pluto Sect, waiting to see the grumpy Pluto Sect Master defeat four, no one expected that the Pluto Sect Master would make a decision that shocked the world-

He wants to hold a sword meeting in Yunmengze, and the Xuanming Sword is the final prize of the Sword Meeting, and the winner can directly get the Xuanming Sword.

When they first heard the news, everyone's first reaction was disbelief, and the second reaction was...... Has the leader of the Pluto Sect been taken away?

It's no wonder that everyone thinks so, because the leader of the Pluto God has always had a violent temper, and he is a loyal practitioner of "life and death are downplayed, and if you don't accept it, you will do it", everyone thinks that he will be tough to the end, but he softened and came out with such a big trick, which is too devastating, right?

Xuanshen Sword Sect.

Zhihe Sword Monarch was sitting down to listen to his sermon from his master, the Xutou Sword Master, when suddenly a communication talisman flew in, and after the Xutou Sword Lord opened it and looked at it, he was shocked.

Zhihe Sword Monarch and his junior brother Zhihua Sword Venerable couldn't help but glance at each other - what happened?

The Void Sword Master didn't let them guess, and after being surprised, he smiled and said, "Stygian Yue has also learned these cunning tricks, it seems that Youzhen really broke up with him." ”

The Supreme Sword Venerable asked, "Master, what happened?"

"Look at it. ”

The Xuche Sword Master handed the transmission talisman to the two apprentices, and after they had all read it, he said: "Although it is said to be a sword meeting, it must not be limited to sword cultivation, but with the Xuanming Sword as the color head, the name 'On Sword' is used." ”

"Is the Sect Master of the Pluto trying to stir up disputes among the sects?" asked the Supreme Sword Monarch, "to disperse the pressure on the Sect of the Pluto?"
