Chapter 13: Cultivation

Lao Wu looked at Xu Chen's eager expression, sighed but didn't say anything, he stood up, put his hands behind his back, and kept stomping around Xu Chen's room, sometimes sighing, sometimes hesitating.

The sun was shining outside, but inside the small room was oppressive.

Xu Chen's eyes kept flickering with the movement of Lao Wu's figure, and after a long time, he finally couldn't help it, and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Wu, this has something to do with my mother, isn't it? This sword duel is also related to my mother, isn't it? So my mother is not an ordinary person at all like you said last time, she is actually ......."

"In fact, the eldest lady is the descendant of the Eight Great Tribes, she is a descendant of one of the tribes, and this jade sword is the token of this tribe. But Miss, she's really not a hermit, not even a cultivator, she's really just an ordinary person, I didn't lie to you last time!"

Lao Wu stood in place, his back to Xu Chen motionless, but from his red hands that had been pinched, it could be seen that he had too many secrets hidden in his heart, and it was extremely painful to keep secrets, not to mention that he was facing Xu Chen at this time.

After a while, Lao Wu coughed dryly, and said helplessly: "Young Master, I shouldn't have let you know about this, because it would bring you danger. ”

"Dangerous?"

Xu Chen didn't know why, he just looked at Lao Wu's back stupidly, he knew that that person had everything he wanted to know in his heart.

Lao Wu turned around, his expression was a little stunned, "Young Master, in fact, I haven't finished telling you just now, because you still know as little as possible, I can only tell you now, these eight tribes are keeping a secret together, it is about Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and that mysterious tribe, until now this secret has been guarded, no one knows what this secret is, only when the descendants of the eight major tribes gather together to solve this secret." ”

Xu Chen squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and suddenly seemed to have guessed something, he said leisurely: "So...... So Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor finally knew the true identity of that mysterious tribe, right?"

Lao Wu nodded indisputably, "And I believe that even now, I am not the only one in this world who knows this, some greedy people must be constantly searching for the whereabouts of the descendants of these eight major tribes, they must want to find all the descendants of these eight tribes, and then unlock the secret of that mysterious tribe." Of course, they weren't just curious, they wanted to get their hands on the mighty power of that mysterious tribe. ”

When Xu Chen heard this, he nodded heavily, the danger was born from this, he thought for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Then, does my father know this?"

"I don't know if he knows. Lao Wu shook his head, "But it's better not to know, young master, you must also keep this secret, otherwise there will be a big disaster, you know?"

Xu Chen put his right hand on his chest and nodded silently, even if Lao Wu didn't warn him, he knew which was more important. "Uncle Wu, then this ......", as he spoke, Xu Chen pointed to the "Splitting Void Sword Decision" in his hand.

"This Void Splitting Sword is for you. ”

Lao Wu said solemnly, "I took a general look, although this is only a fragment, and there are only two or three pages of sword duels, but this is enough to be compared to most of the high-level sword duels in the world." As far as I know, the back of this "Splitting Void Sword Decision" requires extremely high cultivation to be urged, and with the cultivation of the vast majority of people in the world now, I am afraid that I can only sigh with hope. Therefore, just two or three pages are enough to cope with most of the situation, and the rest of the parts, even if you get them, I am afraid that you will not be useful. According to what is said in this book, it can only be activated unless it is broken through the Tai Void Realm, but in this world, let alone breaking the Tai Void Realm, even if it is a person who can reach the Tai Void Realm, I'm afraid there is none!"

Xu Chen nodded thoughtfully, but his heart kept beating the drum, "According to what Uncle Wu said, these secrets can only be known by the descendants of the Eight Great Divisions, so why does Uncle Wu also know this secret? He was just a servant of his mother before!"

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Chen finally held back his curiosity, and just whispered to Lao Wu: "Uncle Wu, thank you for telling me this!"

Lao Wu smiled stiffly, "Young Master, this is what you should know, but now is not the time, and I can only tell you the rest of the secrets when you are really strong, at least enough to protect yourself, or maybe I ...... Alas!" Lao Wu didn't say the dead word, and let out a long sigh, "Young Master, this "Splitting Void Sword Decision" is obscure, it seems that it will take you a long time to understand it, so don't be distracted by these things first, you better cultivate with your heart, I'll go first." ”

After speaking, Lao Wu slowly turned around, opened the door and walked out, his thin figure turned out to have a strong heart.

"Stronger?"

After Lao Wu left, Xu Chen kept muttering, "Get stronger!"

Yes, in this world, if you don't have the strength, you can only be at the mercy of others, and you don't even deserve to know your mother's background.

Xu Chen shook his head vigorously, sobering up his somewhat numb head, and then slowly opened the "Splitting Void Sword Battle", turned to the last few pages, and read it carefully.

This "Splitting Void Sword Battle" was ignored by others in the Xu Mansion, and that was definitely their loss.

The true meaning of this sword duel is to simplify the complex, but this is by no means an ordinary simplification, but to see everything, the sword style is simple, but the changes are endless. This is also strikingly similar to Taoist thought.

Only by emptying all the complicated sword styles and concentrating all the cultivation and energy on the current sword can the power of each sword be brought into play.

However, it is precisely because of this that the wording of "Splitting the Void Sword Battle" is obscure, and it vaguely contains a large number of Taoist profound thoughts, and only by understanding these ideas can we truly understand the kaleidoscopic changes of each sword.

Compared with the obscurity of the sword duel, it seems that for Xu Chen, the urgency of time is the difficulty of everything.

At this time, Xu Chen closed his eyes deeply, and recited a sentence coldly in his heart.

"Xu Yang, you have to wait for me!"

......

This day, early in the morning.

The early sun had just emerged, driving away the faint mist, and as a cool wind blew, the sound of trees breaking suddenly sounded.

Yongan Town.

In a remote forest outside the town, Xu Chen held a sword in one hand and stood in place, and opposite him were several big trees that had broken off their roots.

A happy smile appeared on Xu Chen's face.

Because, just now, he finally understood a little bit of the mantra of "Splitting the Void Sword Duel", and with a swing of the sword, with the power of the sword qi alone, several big trees were broken in response.

If there were other people around at this time, they would definitely be surprised by the power of "Splitting the Void Sword Duel", and of course, they would be amazed by Xu Chen's understanding.

Behind Xu Chen, under a big tree, an old man sat with a smile, saw Xu Chen's amazing sword just now, and nodded approvingly, this old man was Lao Wu.

"Young Master, you have finally understood the true meaning of this first form, what a gratifying congratulations!"

Xu Chen turned around at this time, walked slowly to Lao Wu, squatted down and said softly: "Uncle Wu! I'm afraid I'm still deliberately urging the aura! It turns out that only by stopping the urging at the right time can the true power of this sword be brought into play. It's unimaginable. ”

Lao Wu smiled and shook his head, "Young Master, you are too humble, this truth is in the book, and the world understands it, but it is even more difficult to really understand and use it, and this is still achieved by your own understanding." I'm just a reminder. ”

Xu Chen smiled helplessly, he knew that if it wasn't for Lao Wu's casual reminder just now, I'm afraid he would want to understand this layer, and he didn't know how long it would take.

In the past month, Xu Chen has actually only practiced this sword, this sword is called "Drawing Sword Style", but the text on "Splitting the Void Sword Duel" is too difficult to understand, and the original simple sword is actually said to be extremely complicated.

Xu Chen had already doubted whether "Splitting the Void Sword Duel" was as wonderful as Lao Wu said, but when he saw the big tree cut down by his sword qi, he naturally admired Lao Wu from the bottom of his heart, and he became even more interested in "Splitting the Void Sword Duel".

This is just a sword drawing style, according to what is said in "Splitting the Void Sword Duel", this set of sword duels is divided into nine hundred and eighty-one styles, although each style has only one sword, but from the perspective of this most basic "sword drawing style", this set of sword duels is really not to be underestimated.

"Uncle Wu, it's going to be tested tomorrow, you say, with my current strength, will I be Xu Yang's opponent?"

Xu Chen asked tentatively.

In fact, he was still a little worried in his heart, in terms of cultivation, there was naturally no difference between him and Xu Yang at this time. However, in terms of swordsmanship, Xu Chen is extremely unsupportive.

No matter how powerful the "Splitting Void Sword Duel" is, but he himself has only just learned the first form, if he can't defeat the opponent with one sword, then he will inevitably become extremely disadvantaged, and the result is naturally unpredictable and easy.

Lao Wu didn't seem to care, and stroked his beard proudly and said, "Don't worry, young master! As long as you play normally in the test, this sword is enough to kill him." Even if there are any special circumstances and you fail to defeat the opponent with a single sword, you can still use this 'sword drawing style' again! Although this will be extremely blunt and full of loopholes, it will naturally be extremely dangerous when encountering a master, but for these ordinary cultivators, they can still cope with the past. ”

Xu Chen nodded stiffly, but no one was sure before the results came out. Besides, he and Xu Yang gambled with two hands, and if he made a slight mistake, he would stay away from cultivation for the rest of his life.

Xu Chen and Xu Yang's bet naturally didn't tell Lao Wu, so at this time, Lao Wu couldn't understand the great pressure behind Xu Chen.

Xu Chen stood up silently, returned to his original position, and continued to practice repeatedly. He didn't want to have any accidents in the test, although he and Xu Yang saw that it was not a bet of life and death, but for him, it was more important than a bet of life and death.

Ten years of captivity, discrimination by the crowd, a severed finger. All the unhappiness in my heart converged into a sword qi and flew into the distance.
