Among the immortal cultivators, there are also those who like to forge immortal swords. For example, Ou Yezi, the eldest disciple of the Taiqing Sword Immortal, had the desire to become a master of the Casting Immortal Sword even stronger than the desire to successfully cultivate the Immortal Tribulation, but unfortunately, in his long life, although he had cast several famous swords, none of them could be compared with the peerless Immortal Sword in the "Immortal Sword Spectrum". In fact, since the appearance of the peerless immortal sword, I don't know how many people have ambitiously wanted to refine a comparable immortal sword, but no one has ever forged it. Perhaps those eighteen mysterious peerless immortal swords will always be the unattainable limit of sword forging masters.

There has never been a shortage of sword-forging masters in the Taiqing Sect. For the sake of future generations, the immortal cultivators in the sect who have the ability to cast immortal swords have done their best to cast high-quality immortal swords and store them in the sword hall.

Yu Ruijiang entered the Hall of Daodao, and many elders were already seated. When they saw Yu Ruijiang, they all got up and owed a debt. Yu Ruijiang will soon enter the Mahayana realm, and the other elders are all in the middle stage of extinction, so they are very polite to him. After a while, all the thirteen elders and Sect Master Li Yuanxiao arrived, and this month's elders' meeting began as scheduled. After all the major matters were discussed, Yu Ruijiang said to the elders: "Everyone, I have completed the foundation building and stepped into the realm of pure spirits. Therefore, it is time to give them the fairy sword. ”

As soon as the words fell, except for Li Yuanxiao, everyone was shocked. Li Yuanxiao is the grandfather of Tianxiao and Tianyao, and he is the first person to notify after the two of them build the foundation.

Although Li Yuanxiao gave the two Zhuji Dan to the two of them at the beginning, all the elders knew about it. However, the medicinal effect of Zhuji Dan has never been good to this extent, and the foundation building that other disciples took nearly two years to complete, Tianxiao and Tianyao only took four months to complete?

"Genius, what a genius! No wonder the purple light emitted by the Fish Intestine Sword that day was so rich. These two people must be cultivated well, and they will be the unshakable mainstay of my Taiqing Sect in the future. The quality of the immortal sword given to them must not be worse!" Great Elder Yao Huakong said excitedly. His beard and hair are all white, his eyes are bright, his face is ruddy, and his image of crane hair and childish face is very conspicuous among everyone. Like Li Yuanxiao, Yao Huakong is also in the realm of the middle stage of annihilation. But he has been cultivating for sixty years, and his qualifications are purely average.

Second Elder Xie Ningdong also agreed: "Not only the Immortal Sword, but also the Sword Book should let them cultivate the Supreme Source Shadow Sword Book of my Taiqing Sect." "The Source Shadow Sword Book has very high requirements for the root bone, only disciples who have reached the second rank can cultivate, and disciples whose root bones are less than the second rank can cultivate other sword books.

Third Elder Zhou Hongyu said loudly: "Okay." Since the two elders have already agreed, I will naturally not object. These two people are really rare immortal cultivators in a hundred years, and it is a blessing for my Taiqing sect to accept them into the sect. I wonder if the rest of the elders agree?"

The rules of the Taiqing Sect stipulate that the Great Elder is the Elder of the Meritorious Service, and he is responsible for matters such as rewards and gifts. The second elder is the law enforcement elder, responsible for punishment, punishment and other affairs. The three elders are the dispatch elders, and the disciples in the general sect go down the mountain to perform various tasks and other affairs, and the three elders give orders. The rest of the elders are unified as Senate elders and are not responsible for a specific matter.

Now that the highest-ranking Great Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder in the sect have all agreed, coupled with the achievements of Tianxiao and Tianyao, everyone was really surprised, and of course no one objected.

"Now that all the elders have agreed, I propose that the two shadow swords forged by Ou Yezi Patriarch back then be given to the two brothers, and use the shadow sword to cultivate the strongest "Source Shadow Sword Book" of my Taiqing Sect is also complementary. How?" Yao Huakong proposed.

"That's very good. Since more than a hundred years ago, after the two brothers Wei Bin Yang and Wei Bin Liu Patriarch failed to cross the catastrophe and fell, the two shadow swords have not found a suitable disciple to inherit. Now it's just right to give him both. Li Yuanxiao nodded in agreement.

The Shadow Sword is the name given to the extremely powerful twin swords.

The word "right" indicates that it is a pair of double swords. The so-called double sword refers to two swords with special sensing. The person who casts the fairy sword sometimes uses more materials to create the sword embryo of two fairy swords at one time, and then quench them at the same time, and inject the spirit at the same time. If you succeed in forging a sword, you can build two swords at a time, and if you fail, you will fail together, and there will be no one that will fail. Because the forging conditions, forging time, forging materials, forging techniques, and injecting spiritual power are all the same, and the spiritual power also comes from the same person in the same state, if the two swords are successfully cast, there is a special sword intent induction between the two swords. When used alone, it is the same as other single-handled fairy swords, and when used in a dual role, it will generate additional power due to sword intent induction. If the two users can work together with each other, the two swords will be even more powerful.

The word "shadow" indicates that these two swords are the highest quality of the two swords. The double sword is divided into three qualities: the body, the shape, and the shadow, with the body being the worst and the shadow being the highest. When the two swords are used together, they complement each other, you go to me, you retreat and I advance, you are real and I am virtual, you light and I shadow, this "shadow" word well summarizes the characteristics of the strongest double sword.

Ou Yezi Patriarch originally created these two shadow swords for his daughter and son-in-law, but later his daughter and son-in-law were all lost, and these pair of shadow swords were left in the Taiqing Sect.

There was no objection from everyone. After the elders dismissed, Yu Ruijiang first went to the Sword Hall with the Great Elder Yao Huakong to obtain the two shadow swords, and then went to the Sword Book Hall to get two sets of copies of the Source Shadow Sword Book, and then returned to the Weikong Peak Bamboo Garden.

Tianxiao and Tianyao were still waving the two Xuantie heavy swords lightly in the bamboo garden.

Yu Ruijiang was very satisfied. Cultivating immortals is hard, and he is most worried that the two brothers are not strong in heart and perseverance, and they have wasted the excellent root bones of God. Fortunately, Tianxiao and Tianyao did not disappoint him, with the age of the two of them at the age of twelve, this diligence is really rare.

"Tianxiao, Tianyao, take a break for a while. As a teacher, I have something to say to you. Yu Ruijiang said.

"Apprentice to meet Master. The two of them admired and respected Yu Ruijiang very much.

"Both of you have completed the foundation building and stepped into the Pure Spirit Realm, and the Dark Iron Heavy Sword is no longer suitable. Now, the elders of the sect have discussed and given you two two pair of shadow fairy swords. The shape of the twin swords, the quality of the shadow, is the highest quality of the twin swords. Both swords are rare and good-quality fairy swords, and the two of you must cultivate well to live up to the expectations of the sect. Speaking of this, Yu Ruijiang separated the two swords in his hand and handed them to Tianxiao and Tianyao respectively.

The sword that Tianxiao took was about five feet five inches long, and the blue light around the sword body was very comfortable. Tianyao's sword was the same length as Tianxiao's, but the sword body emitted a green light. The two looked at the fairy sword in their hands, turning it over and over, and couldn't put it down.

Yu Ruijiang's faint voice sounded: "These two shadow swords are forged by our sect's legendary forger Ou Yezi. One is 'loose', one is 'Guding'. The Loose Sword emits blue light, while the Guding Sword emits green light. Loose grain and ancient ding, complement each other, and there is a special sword intent connection between them, which generates additional power when attacking. The elders of the sect also considered that the two of you were brothers, and they would definitely be able to exert the powerful power of the Shadow Sword in the future, so they did not hesitate to give it to you. Then, he took out a stack of books from his arms, "In addition, there are two sets of copies of my Taiqing Sect's strongest sword book, the Source Shadow Sword Book, you two must remember not to borrow the sword book to others at will." If discovered, severe punishment will be given. ”

"Yes, Master. Tianxiao and Tianyao took the sword book from Yu Ruijiang's hand, looked at each other and smiled, very excited in their hearts. The strongest sword book of the Taiqing Sect is something that many disciples in the sect dream of! The sword book is not particularly thick, but both of them feel heavy in their hands.

"Starting next month, you will cultivate with Ming Fei and Jun He. This path next to the bamboo forest leads to a valley. The field is open and suitable for sword practice. If you don't understand something, you still ask Mingfei. Yu Ruijiang admonished. The fairy sword is not as good as ordinary products, the more powerful the fairy sword, the greater the movement when the sword is practiced. A fairy sword of such quality as Songwen and Guding must be flying sand and rocks when wielded, and the wind and water are rising, and a place as large as the bamboo garden is simply not enough.

After Yu Ruijiang finished speaking, he went into the house, leaving the two in the courtyard.

"Brother, do you hear me? Taiqing Sect's strongest sword book, haha!" Tianyao raised his eyebrows.

"Hmm. I didn't expect the sect to be so important to us. I also want to try to transfer to the sword technique after practicing the sword book, but now I can't help it. "Tianxiao is also very excited.

"Are you going to give up, then?"

"No, I'm going to try anyway. If I succeed, I will also use it for the sect to repay the kindness of cultivation. Tianxiao is still unwilling to give up the idea of practicing knives.

At night, Tianxiao in bed is full of thoughts. "If you think about it carefully, I still think it's strange, is it really so mysterious, only by cultivating a sword can you become an immortal? So what happened to those sword demons back then? This shows that there are still people who have created a method of cultivating swords, but no one in the Qinglong Continent knows about it at present. Perhaps, those cheats for sword cultivation are hidden somewhere on the mainland...... Perhaps, the Qinglong Continent has already created a person who has created a secret book for sword cultivation, and now he is cultivating in a remote place...... If I can create a way to repair my sword, or if I can meet someone who repairs my sword in the future...... Sword Demons, are they really such evil people?" At this moment, he wanted to know the secret of the Sword Demon more than usual. Starting next month, he will start cultivating according to the sword book, and he is worried that this is a path that he will never be able to turn back once he chooses. "I can't care so much, let's take one step at a time!" Tianxiao thought to himself.

After a month of consolidation, early in the morning of the first day of the eighth month, the four brothers and sisters followed the master's order to follow the quiet path next to the bamboo forest to the valley.

The path is lined with weeds and thorns on both sides, and on both sides are rocky boulders. The path zigzags downwards and goes deeper and deeper. After walking for about a moment, it suddenly dawned on me and entered an open field.

It is a river beach in a valley surrounded by mountains. The surrounding mountains are lush and smoky. The valley is full of birds and flowers, and is full of greenery. On the north side of the river beach is a clear stream several feet wide, bubbling from a mountain gorge in the distance, and gurgling towards the mountain stream on the other side. The water of the river is crystal clear, it does not seem to be very deep, and on the other side of the river there are a few weeping willows with thick arms, and the willow is full of green branches, which bend over the river and flutter with the wind.

"The name of this valley is 'Wind Rhythm Valley', the river is called 'Liuyin River', and the river beach at the foot is called 'Ming Beach', all of which are names given by Master. At that time, the master stumbled upon this place, so he swung his sword to cut through the stone and cut the soil, and carved a path to this place for us to use for sword practice. Han Mingfei said.

"Master's name is quite poetic. Located in a deep valley, it is warm all year round. The trees are green and the grass is green. The flowers are red and willow green, and the swallows are dancing and the warblers are crying. The wind swept through the mountains, slowly echoing. The river flows through the valley, gurgling and dripping. The sound of sand and water is like a beautiful natural rhythm. Tang Junhe said that he was intoxicated.

"The green mountains and beautiful waters are refreshing. I heard Master say that such an environment is conducive to our understanding of the aura of heaven and earth. Han Mingfei added.

"I didn't expect Master to have such an elegant side. Tianxiao smiled, "It's so open here, it's enough for us to practice swords." ”

Immediately, Tianxiao and Tianyao began to practice according to the "Source Shadow Sword Book", while Han Mingfei and Tang Junhe each found a bluestone by the river, sat down and began to meditate. They have all reached the level of refining the gods, and they no longer need to practice swords from time to time, cultivating spiritual power through meditation, consolidating the spiritual power in the dantian and meridians, these are also an important part of the way of cultivating immortals.

"Source Shadow Sword Book" was created by Taiqing Sword Immortal, the founding patriarch of Taiqing Sect. When Taiqing Sword Immortal studied under Hongjun Sword Immortal, and later followed the second senior brother Shangqing Sword Immortal to practice, and when he founded the Taiqing Sect, he summarized and recorded the swordsmanship learned from the teacher and his own understanding, and named it "Source Shadow", which is to take the meaning of "gathering the source of heaven and earth and condensing the shadow of all things".

Taiqing Sword Immortal has been heroic all his life, and he is immortal. His swordsmanship is also ethereal and agile, both illusory and real.

The opening chapter of "Source Shadow Sword Book" reads: "Immortals, gather the qi of the universe, collect the essence of heaven and earth, gather the meaning of all beings, and gather the spirits of all things." Those who cultivate immortals move at will, their hearts open at will, their souls rise at will, and their spirits are at will. Feel the vast sword intent, and include it in the thin body. Dare to fight against the mandate of heaven and dare to fight with luck, which is the foundation of cultivating immortals. The sword is the soldier of the benevolent, the weapon of the immortal, and its way is also a great light. If the sword is light, if it is empty, if it is not, this is the culmination of cultivating immortals. With what I have learned, felt, and understood, I have done everything I have done here, and I have cultivated the sword book "Source Shadow" for the future generations to identify. ”

The short opening note shows the majestic momentum.

The sword book is divided into three parts according to the level of cultivating immortals, each part is divided into three chapters according to the realm, and each article is divided into several chapters according to the period. Tianxiao and Tianyao began to flip through the chapters on building the foundation. It is rich in content, and the exercise methods are all described in detail. But the two of them have already laid the foundation, so they only have a cursory glance. Turn to the second article, "Qingling Chapter". This article is the beginning of the true cultivation of immortals and enlightenment.

In the "Qing Ling Chapter", it mainly tells the key to cultivating the sword and comprehending the aura of heaven and earth, and compiles it into several chapters of sword songs.

The so-called "sword song" is a compilation of sword dance mantras in the form of poetry, which is not only easy to remember, but also conducive to the practitioner's experience and understanding. After all, some perceptions can only be understood, not spoken, and how can the mysterious feeling of the aura of heaven and earth gradually melting into the body be described in words?

Tianxiao and Tianyao are now following the routine written in the "Butian Sword Song" in the "Qingling Chapter", slowly waving the sword and dancing, and feeling it carefully.

As the movements became more and more skillful, the light of the two swords of Songwen and Guding became more and more obvious. The sword blade trembled and roared, the sword light was bright and bright, the sword shadow fluttered and illusory, and the sword intent rose gently. Tianxiao and Tianyao soon entered a wonderful state, and the wind, the water, the flowers, the willows, the sand, and the soil in the valley were like a beautiful picture, slowly unfolding.

Han Mingfei and Tang Junhe both opened their eyes in surprise, this artistic conception of the two of them was obviously beginning to absorb the aura of heaven and earth.

"The two junior disciples are in harmony with the pair of shadow sword primordial gods of Songwen and Gu Ding, and the two of them originally had the same mind, so their cultivation is twice the result with half the effort, and the efficiency is extremely high. If you want to achieve anything in the future, there will be no limit. Han Mingfei sighed.

"Senior brother, the two junior brothers are geniuses, we have to work harder, otherwise we will soon be surpassed by the two of them, and it will be a shame at that time. Tang Junhe had a sense of crisis in his heart.

"Hehe, junior sister, this is the first time I've heard you say this. In fact, even if we work hard to cultivate, I am afraid that in the future, we will not be able to reach the two junior disciples. Just be worthy of your heart in everything. Han Mingfei said and closed his eyes again.

Tang Junhe smiled and looked at Tianxiao and Tianyao, who were dancing like clouds and swords in the distance, and also closed his eyes and continued to meditate.

The imagination is unrestrained, and the ethereal sword intent is a matter of course. Tianxiao and Tianyao both felt that the mysterious aura of heaven and earth was slowly converging towards them, and after entering the body, it gently moisturized the limbs and hundreds of remains. And it also produces a magical feeling that the spiritual power corresponding to the aura of heaven and earth circulates in the dantian and meridians......

Since the successful foundation building, Tianxiao and Tianyao have also practiced the ability to open the valley and sleep, and they don't have to eat anymore, as mentioned in the opening chapter of the sword book of "Source Shadow", relying on cultivation to gather the essence of heaven and earth instead of eating, and sleep can also be replaced by meditation. In this way, they practiced until the sun set, and Han Mingfei and Tang Junhe recalled the two from their wonderful artistic conception. The four of them followed the quiet path opened up by Yu Ruijiang and returned to the quiet bamboo garden.

As soon as he entered the bamboo garden, Yu Ruijiang walked out of the bamboo house. From the beginning of the Qingling Realm, he had to check the progress of the two of them from time to time in cultivating immortals.

Han Mingfei happily reported: "Master, I didn't expect that on the first day of stepping into the Qingling Realm, the two junior disciples began to absorb the aura of heaven and earth according to what was written in the "Butian Sword Song". Among the younger generation of sect disciples, there must be no one to match. ”

Yu Ruijiang nodded: "This was already expected by the teacher. After that, he looked at Tianxiao and Tianyao who were happy next to him and said: "The road to cultivating immortals is long, tortuous and rugged. Don't be complacent for the sake of the moment. Since ancient times, people who have cultivated immortals must be diligent. Talent is important, but that alone is not the answer to future success. ”

How could Tianxiao and Tianyao not know this truth, and immediately expressed their obedience to the master's teachings.

Yu Ruijiang knew in his heart that these two disciples had excellent moral character and extraordinary talent. Accepting apprentices like this is also a great joy in life. For such an outstanding disciple, the sect is equipped with pine patterns and ancient dings against the shadow immortal sword, which can be regarded as making the best use of things. At least there is no more suitable successor than them in the Taiqing Sect.

The next day, the four of them still went to the Wind Law Valley to cultivate as they had done the day before. After such a month, Tianxiao and Tianyao were already familiar with the "Butian Sword Song", and the two of them obtained Han Mingfei's consent and began to practice the "Spirit Transformation Sword Song" in the next chapter of the "Qing Ling Chapter".

After that, every day, the two of them gradually practiced, every time they practiced a chapter of sword songs to the realm of selflessness, they would let Han Mingfei and Tang Junhe give them some guidance, and only after they had thoroughly comprehended it did they start the cultivation of the next chapter in the "Source Shadow Sword Book".

......

Day after day, the red maple leaves fall, and the earth flies with frost.

It's late autumn now, and the chill on the top of Tiandao Mountain is thick. Early in the morning of this day, Yu Ruijiang stopped the four apprentices who were about to go to the Wind Law Valley to cultivate.

"Tianxiao and Tianyao have been under my door for more than half a year. Mingfei and Junhe have not left the mountain for many years. Now there is something for the teacher to be handed over to the four of you to do. After the fact, Mingfei and Junhe, you will accompany Tianxiao and Tianyao to go home to visit their parents by the way, and it will not be too late for them to get together with their relatives for a few more days before returning to the sect. Yu Ruijiang said.

Tianxiao and Tianyao were pleasantly surprised when they heard this: "I can go home, I can visit my parents!"
