Chapter 372 Glimpse of the Light (First Update!Ask for a Monthly Pass!Ask for Subscription!)
As Zhang Tong brought the 'Fire of the Five Aggregates' and the 'Water of the True Spirit' to the level of 'Water and Fire' in the dantian, the speed of the mana in his body was also increased by nearly one-tenth compared to the original.
Don't look at this tenth, it doesn't seem to be too much, but when it is really facing the enemy, it will have a huge advantage, whether it is a flying sword or a magic weapon, it is urged by his mana, between sending and receiving, when opening and closing, it will be a big increase compared to the original.
Zhang Tong had already sensed that the mana rushed out of the Yuan Dan, running to the limbs and hundreds of remains, and among the various acupuncture points, they were like flowing water, with an extra sense of agility, and there was no slightest obstacle.
Since Zhang Tong did not have a master, he had relied on himself to cultivate the gourd sword technique over the years, and he was careful in every step, one interview and one step forward, for fear that if something went wrong, he would fall into a situation from which he would never recover.
So even at this time, the water and fire in his body made his cultivation soar, and although he was very happy in his heart, he didn't dare to get carried away. Because Zhang Tong knows best in his heart that no matter what kind of achievements he has achieved now, he can't change his cultivation, and he has just reached the realm of Yuan Dan. It is the lowest level in the realm of refining gods, and there are countless difficulties and obstacles behind it.
Zhang Tong's mind was calm, silently meditating, no longer cultivating the 'Xuanyuan Water Control Decision', but taking advantage of the growth of mana, he began to have luck with the 'Gourd Sword Technique'.
Whether it is the dry heaven fire control technique, or the Xuanyuan water control decision, it is a trivial matter for Zhang Tong, not his foundation, only the gourd sword technique is the foundation, and no exercise can replace it.
Therefore, after receiving those two drops of true spirit water, reaching the realm of water and fire is enough for Zhang Tong, there is no need, continue to study, waste time and effort.
It turned to the gourd sword technique, and since the last time it was a coincidence, it reached the realm of 'Tiger Roaring Thunder', and it has never grown. Zhang Tong was slightly anxious.
As a gourd sword technique, this kind of Tongxuan Gong is not like other exercises, everything is clear to the eye, and whatever mantra is practiced at any level. The level of the gourd sword technique has been raised. It is all up to the cultivators to participate in their own enlightenment, and most of them rely on a flash of inspiration, just like Zhang Tong's previous times, although his cultivation is not high. But where the opportunity is, you can also get a glimpse of the realm of the third layer of tiger roaring thunder, otherwise with Zhang Tong's cultivation at that time, it would be impossible to repeatedly break through strong enemies, in danger. Survive.
But now, after Zhang Tong reached the realm of refining gods, he still stayed in the realm of the third layer, and there was no sign of Xiangshang breaking through, and Zhang Tong was very dissatisfied with this situation.
Because Zhang Tong has always regarded the gourd sword technique as his foundation, only the stronger the sword technique, the stronger the strength. As for the others, all kinds of magic weapons, all kinds of spells, for him, they are all trivial. It's a side door, you can have it, you can have it, you don't have it.
However, in recent times, Zhang Tong has faintly discovered. The situation has changed unconsciously, and I don't know when it started. The flying sword is no longer the strongest means, especially after he subdued the fire of the five aggregates, and then in the ancient immortal ruins, the gold-swallowing gourd devoured the stone pillar, and evolved the three spatial prohibitions, this situation became more and more obvious.
Although among them, it is not that after Zhang Tong reached the realm of refining gods, the power of his original flying swords was far from keeping up with the improvement of his strength, but the more important reason was that he unconsciously developed a sense of dependence on the fire of the five aggregates and the gold-swallowing gourd, but he was a little neglectful of cultivating the gourd sword technique.
It wasn't until this time, killing the Golden Roar Heavenly King, and accidentally discovering this Vermilion Bird Sword that had been refined with thirty-two prohibitions, that Zhang Tong suddenly woke up.
Fortunately, he got the Vermilion Bird Sword this time, and it gave him a wake-up call in the dark, otherwise, if he continued, he would definitely go astray, and gradually abandon his roots and the end, and regard those magic weapons and external objects as the foundation of cultivation. Fortunately, it was not too late, Zhang Tong suddenly woke up and secretly made up his mind.
In particular, after settling down in this Lishui Water Mansion, he has already made a good fortune in his heart, first refining the water of the true spirit, reaching the realm of water and fire, and then having no distractions, he is determined to cultivate the sword technique, and he is willing to give up if he has to raise the gourd sword technique to a level and reach the realm of floating light and shadow.
The so-called 'glimpse of floating light' is the fourth realm of the gourd sword technique, and it is also the limit that can be reached before refining into the original god.
And this glimpse is also the beginning of the real transformation of the gourd sword technique, if you only rely on the first three realms, the gourd sword technique is at best, that is, a superior sword technique, far from reaching the level of the general outline of the swordsmanship that was the Taibai Sword Sect back then.
Only after reaching the fourth level will the true power gradually appear, the speed and power of the sword light, all kinds of changes, all kinds of wonderful uses, it is simply endless!
However, to reach this level, it is not so easy, not only must you have a chance, but you must also have a strong strength, and you must also have a high-grade flying sword to assist. Even when the Taibai Sword Sect was in its heyday, all those who cultivated the gourd sword technique were all the geniuses of the sect, and they had to reach the Yuan Dan Nine Turns, and with the help of the opportunity of the transformation of the Yuan Infant, they could quickly break through the original shackles and reach the realm of floating light and shadow.
Zhang Tong didn't know the difficulty of this, he only thought that he broke the entrance of heaven and earth, reached the realm of refining gods, and after his cultivation rose greatly, he would go to cultivate the gourd sword technique and reach the realm of the fourth floating light, which should not be a difficult thing, but he didn't expect that after retreating, it would be more than half a year, except for cultivating the sword technique to be more proficient, there were few other gains.
Even if Zhang Tong had a slight inspiration in his heart last time, he felt a hint of opportunity, which was the key to achieving a glimpse of light, but if he wanted to seize that glimmer of opportunity, he did not rely on blind hard practice, but a mysterious and mysterious feeling.
Even after Zhang Tong reached the realm of water and fire, he practiced hard for half a year without distractions, and only cared about cultivating the gourd sword technique every day, which certainly made his swordsmanship improve a lot, and some of the original unsatisfactory details were also completed by his cultivation, reaching a state where the sword intent was round and pure.
This is also the limit of the realm of the tiger's roar and thunder, between the sending and receiving of the flying sword, or the momentum is like thunder, or there is no sound at all, it all depends on the mind of the sword, this is also a manifestation of swordsmanship to reach a certain attainment, even among the junior disciples of the four sects and three sects today, it is rare to be able to reach this similar level.
It's just that when he cultivated here, he temporarily reached Zhang Tong's limit, even if he continued to practice hard, it would be difficult to make an inch, but in his mind, all kinds of chaotic illusions faintly appeared, which seemed to be real and imaginary, and it was difficult to extinguish.
Zhang Tong knew that this phenomenon of confusion was a precursor to going mad, and if he didn't pay attention to it and continued to cultivate, not only would he not be able to improve his cultivation, but he would have to raise his inner demons, and the gains outweighed the losses.
Although Zhang Tong made up his mind at the beginning, he wanted to reach the realm of glimpses and shadows in one go, but when he encountered the current situation, he had to change his course, temporarily stop, and turn to practice something else, waiting for another opportunity.
Especially after Zhang Tong reached the realm of refining gods, with the improvement of the realm, his perception of the exercises was also different from the original, since he reached the realm of refining gods with the help of the Heavenly Evil Great Dan in the ruins of the ancient immortals, he had no time to re-understand the various techniques he had originally cultivated.
At this time, he had leisure, which was exactly what he wanted, and he put the 'Great Vientiane Thunder Yin Sword Technique', the 'Quick Sword Technique' obtained from Meng Qing's hands, and the 'Tianchi Sword Technique' obtained from plundering Jiang Lihua's memory. These sword techniques are all superior exercises, and they cannot be easily passed on. Zhang Tong also spent a lot of effort, and there was a great fortune, so he gathered together.
It's just that Zhang Tong has already cultivated the 'gourd sword technique', but there is no need to practice these sword tricks again.
Because Zhang Tong's gourd sword trick is only a general outline of swordsmanship, and there are no accompanying moves, but these three sword tricks, each of which has swordsmanship moves, just makes up for Zhang Tong's shortcomings, so that he can combine them to form a unique swordsmanship, use the sword trick, and show it, and the power is not weak.
Until this day, Zhang Tong was studying swordsmanship in the Water Mansion, but suddenly heard the rumbling sound of water outside, getting closer and closer to the Water Mansion, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, who made such a big move.
Since Zhang Tong got this water mansion, it has been nearly a year, and there have been several times during this period, and the nearby water monsters have come to look for it, seemingly trying to find the original water mansion.
But now, this water mansion has been occupied by Zhang Tong, and after folding the space, it has shrunk to the size of a fist, and even the original whirlpool entrance has been closed by Zhang Tong, even if someone comes again, it is impossible to enter.
So after a few waves of people came, all of them returned in vain, and the news also spread, saying that this water house somehow disappeared, and it caused a sensation for a while. After all, this water mansion has existed for many thousands of years under this water, and has become a symbol of the local area. Suddenly, it disappeared, and it was also a pretty big event for the nearby water tribe cultivators.
There are even many people who speculate whether there are any treasures left in the water mansion, and they can't help but be greedy, and they come to look for it in groups, and they have been boiling for several months, searching all the neighborhoods, but nothing has been found, and then it gradually disperses and dispels all kinds of delusions.
Especially in the past few months, no one has come to the vicinity anymore, and this kind of movement suddenly appeared again, which made Zhang Tong even more curious, who was coming to disturb his purity again.
Suo xìng These days, Zhang Tong has also cultivated his swordsmanship almost, and he wants to stop and correct it slightly. After all, in the past ten months, he has been cultivating non-stop, and he can't stand it for the masters of the God Refining Realm.
