Chapter 2: Falling Sword Peak

Luojian Peak is located in the northwest of Yufeng Mountain, towering into the clouds, extremely upright and steep, looking like a sharp giant sword from afar, inverted into the earth, so it is called Luojian Peak. Luojian Peak is covered with snow all year round, and there is a huge lake on the top of the peak, which is called Sword Lake. The surface of the lake is like a mirror, it is incomparably blue, and a cyan giant sword is inserted inverted in the center of the lake, which has existed for countless thousands of years, no one knows the origin of this sword, and several generations of heads of the Phantom Sword Sect have tried to take out this sword in vain, and no one cares about it over time.

On the south side of Luojian Lake sat several wooden houses and a huge square, which was the place where the disciples of Luojian Peak lived and cultivated. Behind the square is a forging workshop, where senior brother Liao Wushuang and several disciples forge weapons here every day for the disciples of the Phantom Sword Sect. There is a red bamboo forest on the north side of Luojian Lake, this bamboo is like fire all over, there is a faint thunder and lightning surrounding, it is extremely hard, it is called the fire thunder bamboo, it is the best weapon raw material, and it is also the specialty of Luojian Peak. Whenever the snow falls on the blue lake and on the fiery red thunder bamboo, red, blue and white are intertwined to form a beautiful scenery that makes people feel enchanted.

There is a person who drinks here all the year round, he wears a thin green coat all year round, his hair is scattered, his eyes are full of decadence, and he often looks at the lake blankly. This person is the third master of the Phantom Sword Sect - Chu Ye, the peak master of the Falling Sword Peak, who was known as the most promising disciple of the Phantom Sword Trace in the millennium due to a personal mistake in a trial eight years ago and became the second Shui Qingdao Daoist. There is often a ping-pong sound in the fire and thunder bamboo forest, which is the sound of someone cutting down bamboo. The disciple who was responsible for cutting bamboo in Luojian Peak was Chu Ye's youngest registered disciple - Yun Feng. Yunfeng's family lived at the foot of Yufeng Mountain, and when he was four years old, the village was tragically ransacked by robbers, his parents died, and he was taken in by Chu Ye, who was passing by, and was accepted as a registered disciple. Now Yun Feng is fifteen years old, and he has been in the Phantom Sword Sect for more than ten years. Yun Feng saw with his own eyes the sad and desperate eyes of the master after losing his beloved apprentice, and witnessed the master fall here from a generation of leaders, he was grateful for the master's adoption, and had already secretly decided to practice swordsmanship, to inherit the mantle of the master, and carry forward the swordsmanship of Luo Jianfeng.

Those who practice the way of the sword are called sword cultivators, and there is a big difference between those who practice spells and other cultivators, the main killing, the attack weapon is mainly the sword, the cultivation spell is single, and the cultivation speed is much slower than other monks with the same qualifications, and the more advanced the sword cultivation, the more difficult it is, but the combat power is also more powerful. Because of his high qualifications, Yun Feng is clever and well-behaved, and he is deeply loved by Chu Ye, and he once passed on the essence of the sword duel of the Illusory Sword Sect Zhenzong. But since that incident eight years ago, Yun Feng has never been guided by the depraved Chu Ye. Yun Feng is currently at the seventh layer of the Rebirth Realm among the Daoists, and is the lowest level of the Cultivation Realm. Taoist disciples belong to the basic stage of cultivation, which is divided into three realms: rebirth, qi refining, and foundation building. Chu Ye's current eldest disciple, Liao Wushuang, is simple, kind-hearted, and is also Yunfeng's senior brother, who has cultivated to the tenth level of the Qi refining period in the second realm of Taoism, but also because there has been no one to guide him in his cultivation in recent years, he has not been able to enter the third realm to build a foundation. On weekdays, the disciples of Luo Jian Peak were bullied by other veins. The Phantom Sword Sect will have a big exam every ten years, except for the disciples of the closed sect and the disciples of the lineage, the rest of the disciples must participate, but the rewards for different levels of disciples are also different. The top 10 disciples will each receive a Daoist Pill, which is extremely precious, and it is a necessary thing for Daoists to enter the Dao and become Dao Leaders; the top 20 registered disciples will become disciples who can choose any line of cultivation and can obtain rich cultivation resources; and those who are excellent lay disciples can become registered disciples. At present, there are still more than two years before the next big exam of the sect, and the last time Liao Wushuang participated in the big exam, he was able to get the twentieth place among the disciples who entered the house, if he couldn't break through the qi refining period and enter the foundation building period in the past two years, he still had no hope of hitting the top ten and getting the Dao Pill, and the Luojian Peak vein would be laughed at and collapsed. In the past few years, Liao Wushuang has also singled out those with better qualifications among the registered disciples to discipline diligently, hoping to help them become disciples as soon as possible, obtain more cultivation resources, and expand the strength of this lineage, which can be described as well-intentioned. Yunfeng has a bad fate, a tough personality, and a strong mind that is very incomparable, and because of his good qualifications in kendo apprenticeship and hard cultivation, he is deeply loved by Liao Wushuang, and often personally instructs him to practice. Yun Feng knew that if he couldn't break through the first layer of the sword technique and cultivate the second layer of the sword technique after two years, he would definitely not be able to pass the test of the registered disciple. Therefore, every day, in addition to completing the task of cutting down the Fire Thunder Bamboo, he kept cultivating hard day and night.

Late at night that day, Yun Feng had just finished meditating, and he had failed to break through the seventh layer of the rebirth stage again, he had stayed at the seventh layer bottleneck for half a year, this was his fifth time impacting the bottleneck, and the failure again made Yun Feng quite bored, so he simply stopped cultivating. He looked at the endless night sky, full of stars, and his heart was extremely emotional, thinking that his parents died when he was four years old, and he saw his loving parents die under the knife of the wicked. Fortunately, the master took him in, and the elder brother took care of him today, but now the master has fallen like this, and the senior brother is often bullied, but he can't do anything, if he can't pass the trial after two years, the senior brother will be even more disappointed. Thinking of the humiliation of other lineage disciples on the mountain all these years, and thinking that he didn't know where to go in the future, he couldn't help but get more and more tired in his heart, and gradually fell asleep. In the dream, he walked alone in the Luojian Lake, until he walked to the giant sword in the center of the lake, he touched the giant sword, and a cold feeling invaded his body. Suddenly, this giant sword flew into the air, turned into a multicolored dragon, and came straight to Yunfeng, Yunfeng wanted to hide but found that the space around his body was imprisoned, this golden dragon actually flew directly into Yunfeng's body, Yunfeng suddenly felt the sword qi in his body surging, and the dantian seemed to have infinite power throughout the body, the bones of the whole body chattered, and the muscles and veins seemed to burst, and the severe pain made Yunfeng suddenly wake up from his dream, and hurriedly checked his body, and did not find anything abnormal, and he ran the true qi in his body, and there was no abnormality. I just had a weird and real dream. Yun Feng shook his head, got up and began to continue cultivating.

The realm of rebirth in which Yunfeng is currently located is the first realm of a cultivator: rebirth means purifying one's own body and the qi in one's body. There are a total of one hundred and eight big acupoints in the human body, and the first seven layers of the rebirth realm are respectively opened up to seventy-two earth evil acupoints, and when you reach this realm, you can do Bigu, do not eat the fireworks of the world, and the energy in the body can be maintained by the qi that runs on its own, and the eight to ten layers are to open up the thirty-six Tiangang acupoints, and the muscles and bones of the body will be tough and abnormal, and the movements are agile and extremely fast. The last three layers of the rebirth realm were extremely difficult to break through, and many immortal cultivators stopped at the seventh layer of cultivation bottlenecks, and they never survived in their lifetimes, and Yunfeng also stayed at the seventh layer for half a year. Since the cultivation could not be broken through, Yun Feng simply picked up his three-grade Dao weapon Fire Thunder Sword to cultivate the Phantom Sword Technique, the Dao weapon is the weapon of the cultivator, which is mainly divided into Dao weapon, treasure weapon, spirit weapon, heavenly spirit weapon, There are five levels of immortal weapons, and the weapons used by general Taoist disciples are all Taoist weapons, and Taoist weapons are divided into nine grades, one to three grades are used in the rebirth realm, four to six grades are used in the Qi refining realm, and seven to nine grades are used in the foundation realm. Yun Feng was originally a seventh-layer disciple of the Rebirth Realm, and he should use a first- or second-grade Dao weapon, but Yunfeng's Fire Thunder Sword was a third-grade one, and Yun Feng was extremely easy to use, mainly thanks to the unique resources of Luojian Peak - Fire Thunder Bamboo, Fire Thunder Bamboo is a specialty of Luojian Peak, and the Fire Thunder Bamboo of more than a hundred years is extremely rare, and it is a rare thing in the entire Tiannan. But Yun Feng, as a disciple of Luojian Peak, and a deep senior brother, liked it, and Liao Wushuang used the three-hundred-year-old Fire Thunder Bamboo to personally forge a Fire Thunder Sword for him. This sword is three feet eight inches long, five inches wide, the hilt of the sword is carved with a dragon, the sword body is red all over, the blade is full of light gold, extremely sharp, and the majestic spiritual power and bursts of coercion from the sword body can exert great power without using too much spiritual power blessing. Therefore, Yunfeng regards it as his fate, and even if he sleeps, he must put it within reach of his pillow. The Illusory Sword Technique cultivated by Yunfeng is the famous skill of the Supreme True Person of the Illusory Sword Sect's founding ancestor, and it is also one of the Zhenshan stunts of the Phantom Sword Sect. The Illusory Sword Technique is extremely difficult to cultivate, and in the five thousand years of the Illusory Sword Sect, in addition to the supreme real person, only the Shui Qing Dao people have cultivated to the sixth layer. There are a total of seven layers of phantom sword techniques, each layer has its own uniqueness: the first layer of swordsmanship, which focuses on the art of remote sword-fighting, uses sword qi to control weapons for long-range attack and defense; the second layer of swordsmanship, which can transform weapons into the body, and use the aura in the body to refine weapons, so that the weapon can grow together with the master, similar to cultivating natal weapons; the third layer of phantom swordsmanship, which can transform the sword into various forms of weapons, and can also conjure up multiple phantom clones at the same time, but the attack power of each phantom is only equivalent to one-tenth of the attack power of the body, and can transform up to ten phantoms at a time; the fourth layer of Xiaotiangang Sword Formation, which requires the level of a Dao leader to cultivate, can conjure up thirty-six doppelgangers and form a small Tiangang sword array, with the power of the sword array can exert thirty-six times the power of the body, the fourth layer is a leap in the quality of the phantom sword, cultivated to this point, in the Tiannan Seven Kingdoms can also be called a strong one; the fifth layer of the Earth Demon Sword Array, can be conjured into seventy-two phantoms, pay attention to the power of the seventy-two phantom arrays, there are several times the power of the small Tiangang Sword Array; the sixth layer of the Great Tiangang Sword Array, there are still only thirty-six phantom magic weapons, but it contains the illusion of the Tiangang Earth Evil Stars, which is extremely powerful, Shui Qingdao people are invincible in the Seven Kingdoms of Tiannan by this; the seventh layer of the Star Luo Great Array, is the pinnacle of the Phantom Sword Array, you need the Dao Venerable level to cultivate, and the supreme real person is to cultivate to this level, and you can conjure up a total of one thousand and zero phantoms to form a star array, and launch infinite attacks like a sky full of stars, which is enough to destroy mountains and reclaim the sea. Yun Feng's current swordsmanship is at the first level of the Phantom Sword Duel, the most basic sword technique in the air.

At this time, he was cultivating Yun Feng dressed in white, holding a sword and moving with the wind, every move and style was extremely beautiful, the cloud wind danced faster and faster, the sword shadow was blurred, and I saw a sword light draw various arcs in the air, and the sword light and the cloud wind gradually separated, flew into the air, and fused with pieces of snowflakes, making a burst of sound of breaking the sky. I don't know how long it took, the sky turned white, the red sun rose, the sword light in the air suddenly stagnated, and flew straight down, Yun Feng's figure stopped abruptly, standing in the snow with a sword in his hand, and he never moved, and he didn't know if the sword had ever left his hand. Now he has refined this set of swordsmanship to perfection, but he has no clue how to break through to the second layer.
