Chapter 239: Self-cultivation is not self-cultivation
The Seven Star Sword Book is indeed the highest martial arts secret book in the martial arts, Li Changsheng probably took a look, the subtlety of this sword technique is even above the Dugu Nine Swords.
This sword book pays attention to the use of sword moves, corresponding to the seven stars of the Tiangang Big Dipper, attracting the power of the stars, and performing swordsmanship, thus generating great energy, but it reminds Li Changsheng of Zhang Sanfeng's Zhenwu Seven Interception Formation.
But said that at the beginning, Zhang Sanfeng saw the two turtle and snake generals in front of the statue of Zhenwu one day, remembered the snake mountain and turtle mountain of the Yangtze River and the Han River, and thought that the long snake was smart, the turtle was dignified, and the Zhenwu Emperor left and right a turtle and a snake, which was the two things that were both spiritual and heavy.
It's just that the two mountains of turtles and snakes are majestic, and the martial arts that have evolved from the mountains are all kinds of things, covering a wide range, and they are definitely not something that one person can do at the same time. Zhang Sanfeng quietly stood on the shore of the river, did not drink or eat for three days and nights, and pondered hard, but finally couldn't figure out this problem. On the morning of the fourth day, the sun rose in the east, shining on the golden snake on the river, flickering uncertainly. He suddenly realized, laughed, returned to Wudang Mountain, called seven disciples, and each passed on a set of martial arts.
Because this set of formations was created by the two turtle and snake generals under the throne of the Zhenwu Emperor, it is named "Zhenwu Seven Interception Array". The seven sets of martial arts of this formation are exercised separately, and each has its own subtleties, but if the two work together, the brothers and sisters complement each other, and the power will be greatly increased. If three people work together, it is twice as powerful as two people working together. Four people are equivalent to eight masters, five people are equivalent to sixteen masters, six people are equivalent to thirty-two, and seven people are together, just like sixty-four first-class masters in the world at the same time.
It's just that after creating the True Martial Seven Interception Array, Zhang Sanfeng feels that this set of martial arts can go further, and if he can perform it alone, wouldn't it be beautiful.
He thought hard about the people who were difficult to solve at that time, and always felt that there were loopholes in the east and west, and at the same time, the south and the north gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of, and after thinking about it for many years, he finally thought that it was impractical for a person to perform such martial arts, so he put it on hold.
But now, when Li Changsheng saw this seven-star sword spectrum, he found that Zhang Sanfeng's idea was not impossible to realize, but because in the previous world, the aura of heaven and earth was insufficient, and the exquisite sword moves and internal force could not attract the power of heaven and earth, so such a powerful martial art only existed in theory.
But this world is different, when the internal force is exerted to a certain realm, it can attract the power of heaven and earth, just like this seven-star sword spectrum, its own subtlety, sword moves are clever, but it is comparable to Dugu Nine Swords. But the key is that the seven-star sword spectrum pays attention to the power of the seven stars, and every time the power of a star is triggered, the power will be doubled, just like the seven interception formations of the true martial arts, once the seven stars converge, it is equivalent to sixty-four people casting sword moves, and the power is so great that it is close to the realm of heaven and man.
Through the study of the Seven-Star Sword Spectrum, although Li Changsheng had not yet found a specific way to attract the power of heaven and earth, it did not prevent him from cultivating this Seven-Star Sword Spectrum.
I have to say that the Seven Star Sword Spectrum, as the only two martial arts books other than the Tianshan Sect that can glimpse the realm of heaven and man, the degree of subtlety and complexity is much more difficult than any martial art that Li Changsheng has seen.
Ordinary martial arts, in the final analysis, is just the cultivation of internal force and tricks, but the Seven Star Sword Spectrum is different, in addition to the requirements for internal force and tricks, it also requires the user to have an understanding of the aura of heaven and earth, and the changes of the stars.
This made Li Changsheng can't help but think of Wu Xingyun, in the movie, Wu Xingyun and Li Qiushui once said that when the moon is empty, her vitality is endless, but once she encounters the heavenly dog eating the moon, her strength will decline rapidly, which shows that the martial arts of the Tianshan faction, like the seven-star sword spectrum, are implicated in the heaven, earth, stars, sun and moon.
Ordinary martial arts people, that kind of knowledgeable people are a minority, especially when they cultivate to the innate realm, it is already rare, not to mention that they will be able to sense the changes of heaven and earth, and the sun and moon will operate, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
Moreover, Li Changsheng cultivated and found that the seven-star sword spectrum, at the beginning, was not too difficult, but when he cultivated to the fourth sword, the difficulty began to increase exponentially, if it was said that the power of the four stars was gathered, it was equivalent to eight people, and in the same way, if you wanted to practice this sword, it was eight times more difficult.
If it goes on like this, by the time of the last sword, it will be as much as sixty-four times, and even a Yuan Shen Heavenly Master like Li Changsheng feels a trace of mental pressure, thinking that ordinary people in the martial arts are not strong in their hearts, and they can't withstand such pressure, so naturally they can't practice such martial arts.
After studying the seven-star sword spectrum, Li Changsheng walked through Shaolin again, and got the Yijin Sutra in his hands, and found that the martial arts recorded in the Yijin Sutra are actually similar to the seven-star sword spectrum, if so, the sword spectrum is to promote the sword moves and internal force to the extreme to attract the power of heaven and earth, then the Yijin Sutra is to use Buddhist kung fu, easy tendon to change the veins, and refine the meridians, so that the meridians can absorb the power of heaven and earth and store them in the body.
In this way, once the internal force is activated, the power of heaven and earth in the body can be used at the same time to urge the power of heaven and earth between heaven and earth, so as to achieve the power of the so-called realm of heaven and man.
Compared with the Seven Star Sword Spectrum, it is much more subtle, and it seems to be somewhat similar to the spiritual cultivation method of Tantric cultivation of the three veins and seven chakras, and to a certain extent, it is similar to the Daomen method of cultivating the three souls and seven spirits, and the manifestation of the primordial spirit.
With the verification of the two secret realms at the same time, Li Changsheng was probably able to guess that the so-called realm of heaven and man in this world was actually at the beginning of cultivation, and the cultivation method had a certain quenching effect on the mind, but because its main body was still on top of the physical body cultivation, although the power of the mind became strong, the quantitative change was not enough to cause a qualitative change.
Therefore, although because of the strong mental power, they can sense and use the power of heaven and earth, but they cannot transform themselves, even if they prolong their lifespan, in the final analysis, they are still ordinary people, and it is difficult to escape life, old age, sickness and death.
In other words, it means self-cultivation without self-cultivation, emptiness without power and no realm, just like a tree without roots and water without a source, which will dissipate sooner or later.
Li Changsheng sighed, and a news gradually spread all over the country, and the head of the Tianshan faction, Xiaoyaozi, passed away at the Ethereal Peak of the Tianshan Mountains.
