"Dugu Bai?"

Gu Xichun's haggard face became more and more pale, and his pupils shrank like a deep black well.

He is recognized as the fastest student in the Shadow Mountain Sword Cave in the past few decades, he has mastered the Xuan in one month of cultivation, and has broken through to the second realm of Qi refining in March, and at this time he has already reached the cultivation level of the True Yuan Realm.

It was precisely because of this speed that was beyond the imagination of ordinary cultivators that he had already become famous in Changling, standing out among all the students of the various academies who watched the sword sacrifice trial that day. Since a few months ago, he had also been allowed to go to this Shadow Sword Wall to participate in the cultivation of enlightenment.

It's just that in addition to the two monsters of the Lingxu Sword Sect's An Baoshi and the Minshan Sword Sect's Jingliuli, he also knows very well in his heart that among all the young talents in Changling, there are still a few people that he will never be able to reach.

Dugu Bai is one of those people.

Dugu Bai's father, Dugu Liangsheng, was the youngest of the thirteen feudal generals of the Great Qin Dynasty.

The bloodline of the Dugu family is somewhat unique, the situation of Dugu Liangsheng and the previous generations of the Dugu family is exactly the same, in the early years of frail and sickly, often to the age of twelve or thirteen is still a medicine jar, but by the age of fourteen or fifteen, the body grows up, the diseases gradually disappear, and the talent for cultivation is quickly revealed.

It's not just that the speed of breaking through the realm is very fast, but also that the people of the Dugu family often have unexpected comprehension and use of some simple sword styles.

Some of the most ordinary-looking sword moves are often powerful in their hands.

When the Dugu family arrived at Dugu Liangsheng and became the marquis, the family strength naturally reached its most glorious peak, and Dugu Bai's encounter naturally became different from all the people of the Dugu family in the past.

If you change to someone else, you may look for a lot of elixirs and famous doctors, so that Dugu Bai will no longer be sick when he is young, or his body will grow earlier.

However, Dugu Liangsheng had his own considerations, he did not take any means to pull out the seedlings, but sent several of his most trusted generals and servants, and took Dugu Bai to travel around at a young age, not only to famous mountains and rivers, but also to various border wilderness, cold and extreme heat, and to various places of conquest.

According to Dugu Liangsheng, it is to use the vitality of heaven and earth and the spirit of war as medicine, and naturally raise people with the way of heaven.

Regardless of whether there is a reason and basis for his practice, his practice has indeed achieved very good results.

The environment experienced by Dugu Bai was obviously worse than that of any of the Dugu family before, but his sickly body became stronger faster, and a lot of knowledge in his childhood seemed to make him have a better instinct for using the sword.

The most important thing is... Although the time for his body to grow up is similar to that of all the people of the Dugu family in the past, when he was thirteen or fourteen years old, he was still about the height of an ordinary person about twelve years old, but he didn't use much medicine to strengthen his body early, but his mental power was a little beyond ordinary people.

Legend has it that the movements of the people in front of Dugu Bai's eyes will be slower than what ordinary people look like in their normal eyes.

It's just a little slower, and in the battle of cultivators whose realms are not much different, there is a huge gap.

Gu Xichun knew that he was definitely inferior to Dugu Bai, because he had seen Dugu Bai's battles.

In that battle, Dugu Bai defeated a cultivator whose cultivation was slightly higher than him with just one of the simplest "Long River Slashes".

To this day, recalling that picture, Gu Xichun still can't fully understand how Dugu Bai can break the opponent's exquisite sword momentum with such a style.

If you don't understand it, it's a huge gap.

Gu Xichun knew that the uncle named Li Muyan in front of him was for his own good, and on weekdays, this uncle who had a very important position in the door had also given him many instructions, but he still shook his head gently.

Seeing him shake his head, Li Muyan suddenly frowned and said: "I appreciate your determination and perseverance, but the reason why my Shadow Mountain Sword Cave has the door rules for entering the forbidden land and coming to this Shadow Sword Wall to comprehend is because many sword intents on this Shadow Sword Wall are too sharp, just like the mental power of the predecessors, and these many sword marks imply that the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is running, just like runes, and it will naturally gather some Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi." If a student like you who can't cultivate has been practicing here for too long, his mind and body will be hurt by this Shadow Sword Wall. ”

"I know what you want. Gu Xichun raised his head and said respectfully: "It's just that my interest in cultivation comes from my pride. ”

Li Muyan was puzzled: "What's the explanation?"

Gu Xichun said softly earnestly, "I don't know how you feel as a powerful cultivator, but for me, I really like the envy and admiration of the people around me when they see me, and even look up at them. I love the feeling... So at least for many years before me, the motivation that supported me to be diligent and endure loneliness came from this. ”

Li Muyan couldn't help frowning, and said: "This feeling is deformed, you should have a long-term idea, because we are cultivators beyond mortals, not those girls in the Changling Flower Tower, our strength and realm should not be like their beauty and clothes, just want to win the eyes of admiration." ”

"I understand what you said, Uncle Shi. Gu Xichun continued respectfully and sincerely: "Cultivators should have higher pursuits, and should not just look glamorous than others in front of others, but I have also read in many cultivation books that the best way to practice comes from the heart, and the best way to stimulate one's own cultivation is the best means." ”

Li Muyan silently pondered Gu Xichun's words, and felt that there was some truth.

"I know that I can't compare with An Baoshi, Jing Liuli, Dugu Bai and others, but at least in front of the rest of them, I have to stand out from the crowd. ”

Gu Xichun said calmly: "And when I went to the Qingteng Sword Academy to watch the ceremony, the young man in the wine shop named Ding Ning in Baiyang Cave really made me feel threatened, and his performance even made me suffer a lot of humiliation in front of those people. The threat of the boy in the liquor store, and the humiliation, was the strongest irritant for me. If I can't comprehend anything here with this momentum, it will be even more impossible for me to gain any insight here before I am in the Four Realms. And my pride does not allow me to lose to a teenager who has just cultivated. No matter how good his qualifications are, after all, he started much later than me... Even if I don't lose to him, but I can't make him look up to him, and I can't comment on him wantonly, I will feel very bad, and the biggest motivation to support my cultivation will disappear. ”

"So, please don't stop me. ”

Gu Xichun bowed to the ground, bowed to Li Muyan, and begged: "As long as I can get any benefit here, it doesn't matter how much suffering and torture I suffer. ”

Li Muyan thought of the recent incident between Ding Ning and Xue Wangxu, and saw Gu Xichun's appearance at this time, he sighed lightly and said no more.

When the footsteps of this uncle who cared about him gradually moved away, Gu Xichun, who was lying on the ground, slowly got up.

He faced the Shadow Sword Wall again, and sat upright.

The Shadow Sword Wall is actually not left by the former sages of the Shadow Mountain Sword Cave, but the remains of an unknown ancient cultivation place.

The first group of cultivators in the Shadow Mountain Sword Cave discovered this Shadow Sword Wall and spent their time transporting it to the Shadow Mountain Sword Cave because everyone could be sure that the cultivators who left these sword marks were much higher than their realm.

The Shadow Mountain Sword Cave is not a first-class sect in Changling so far, but the sect where the Shadow Sword Wall used to be located must be an extremely first-class sect.

Since obtaining this Shadow Sword Wall, each generation of True Disciple of the Shadow Mountain Sword Cave has spent a lot of time contemplating enlightenment, but for hundreds of years, only three people have realized the true meaning from it.

One of them, Qu Li, was here to comprehend the strongest sword scripture in the Shadow Mountain Sword Cave so far, the Flowing Shadow Sword Sutra.

The other two have both become a generation of grandmasters who have successfully stepped through the Seven Realms.

One of them, Song Hanshan, was here to comprehend a cold mountain sword talisman.

The other person, Xiao Yanyu, got a lot of important insights about the vitality of heaven and earth here, and it only took a few nights to break through the five realms to the sixth realm.

Gu Xichun knew that his talent was not worse than those three, and he didn't want to explode like those three.

As long as he can get a few exquisite sword momentums, even if there are some changes that can make the true yuan run faster and attract the heaven and earth vitality on the sword more violently, he is already satisfied.

It's just that he has been sitting here for more than 30 days, and with the support of a breath of will, these sword marks in his eyes are still messy to the extreme, whether it is looking at a single sword mark, or looking at a piece, or looking for a sword mark of similar depth, exploring the connection... All kinds of means were exhausted, but he didn't feel anything.

Li Muyan said it well, the shadow sword wall was extremely damaging to his mind and body, and at this time, he got up after bowing deeply to the ground, he looked at the countless sword marks in front of him, his mind sank, and his hands that were exposed outside his sleeves trembled uncontrollably.

He felt that something was wrong, and wanted to withdraw his gaze from the shadow sword wall, but it was just this battle, he only felt that his eyes were dark, his throat was sweet, and with a poof, a mouthful of reverse blood was uncontrollable and spewed out of his mouth.

"Look at the sword wall and see blood spitting out of your mouth, you can be regarded as the first person in the ages. ”

A mouthful of blood spurted out, Gu Xichun's mind did not take care of his body for the first time, but the faces of Xie Changsheng and Ding Ning appeared in his mind, imagining the mocking faces of Xie Changsheng and Ding Ning beside him.

"Poof"

His breathing was even more unpleasant, and another mouthful of blood mist shot out of his mouth.

Warm blood sprayed on the wall of the shadow sword in front of him, and countless tiny beads of blood slowly flowed down.

Many beads of blood fell into the deep, wide sword marks, only to stain them with a faint color.

However, Gu Xichun's eyes suddenly brightened like stars.

On the shadow sword wall in front of him, several extremely thin, but extremely bright red lines appeared.
