Talisman Emperor
Chapter 165 – Five Years
The wind is born from the ground and brushes the ends of the grass first. When it was soft, it was like a willow that touched the clouds, yet when it was violent, it could instead easily split the sea and destroy the mountain. In terms of variety, there was not a single thing in this world that could compare to him.
As he sat cross-legged in the sea of clouds on the side of the abyss, Chen Xi pondered a little in his heart before temporarily putting aside the cultivation of Wind Sword Xun and looking at the other seven Daos Swords.
The Qian Trigram symbolized the sky; the Qian Sword of Sky had high sword movements, like heaven covering the earth, unpredictable and vast.
The Kun Trigrams represented the ground; the Kun Sword of the Land was heavy and deep and had continuous defense.
The Kan Trigram represents Water; the Kan Water Sword is like a surging current and a stormy sea.
The Li Trigram represented Fire; the Li Fire Sword was raging and ferocious, scorching and arrogant.
The Zhen Trigram represented Lightning; the Lightning Zhen Sword had a movement that was like a lightning strike that conquered all.
The Trigram Gen represented the Mountain; the Sword of Mountain Genes were extremely tall and powerful like a tall mountain.
The Dui Trigram represented Marsh; the Dui Sword of Marsh was like glue that greatly slowed others down.
These seven great Taoist Swords were similar to the Wind Xun Sword, and all of them contained many variations that were as vast as the sea. Each of them had their own profound uses, and they even contained many depths of heaven and earth.
At least in Chen Xi's eyes, other than deducing and comprehending, if he wanted to understand this sword technique ama, he still needed to understand the eight Insights Dao: namely Heaven, Land, Mountain, Lightning, Water, Water, Fire, Wind, and Marsh Dao Insights.
Amongst these, Chen Xi had already mastered Water, Fire, Wind, and Lightning Insights. Ground Dao Insight and Mountain Dao Insight were only minor Daos and belonged to Grand Dao Earth, whereas, Marsh Dao Insight was also a small Dao and belonged to Grand Dao Air, respectively, and all of these Dao Insights were also overpowered by him.
Overall, among these eight types of Dao Insight, Chen Xi had only not mastered Sky Dao Insight for now, and he clearly understood the other seven types of Dao Insight. It was precisely because of this that Bei Heng said the Myriad Convergence Sword Scripture was suitable for Chen Xi to understand, and it could be considered teaching according to Chen Xi's talent.
But Bei Heng only suggested that he understand it and not cultivate it. After all, the creation of the Myriad Sword Convergence Sacred Scripture was too difficult. Everyone in the world knew that this sword technique was formidable, yet no one cultivated it, and why was that so? Because of one word – Difficulty!
Although the lifespan of cultivators was much longer than that of ordinary people in the mortal world, if one could not ascend to become a Heavenly God and have the same age as heaven and earth, one would not be able to rise to become a Heavenly God, then there will be a day when one will fall from exhaustion for the rest of one's life. It was precisely because of this that no one would spend a lot of time to grasp a sword technique that was impossible to cultivate successfully.
This was the common view of most people, or there might be people who managed to cultivate it, but these people were existences similar to phoenix feathers and qilin horns, respectively, and there probably won't be any one among the 10 million people.
But Chen Xi intended to cultivate it. He wasn't trying to prove them wrong, nor was it because he refused to believe it was hard, but it was purely the kind of impulse that came from the heart. It was like her talisman craft, it was purely because she liked it in her heart, and there was no other reason for it.
Moreover, he vaguely felt that if he could successfully cultivate the Myriad Convergence Sword Scripture, then it would bring immeasurable benefits to his cultivation in the Dao of Talismans.
The dao of the Talisman's essence was to deduce the depths of the heavens and earth, to transform the earthly into the heavenly, whereas, although the Myriad Convergence Sword Scripture was deducing the sword technique, it was not, the sword technique did not embody the depths of heaven and earth as well?
If I can successfully cultivate the Myriad Convergence Sword Scripture before I advance to the Golden Core Realm, then perhaps I will be able to stand at an invincible position during the Allstar Meeting … Chen Xi pondered for a long time before starting to cultivate the Wind Xun Sword immediately.
In his sea of consciousness, Chen Xi's immense soul force circulated as he immersed himself in infinite variations. What he wanted to do was to deduce all the variations of the Wind Sword Xun and understand it thoroughly.
It's a very big project that's like remembering the trajectory of 100 million stars, and it's very complicated, boring, and exhausting.
Fortunately, Chen Xi had an extremely strong cultivation in the Dao of Talismans, and she wanted to cultivate the Myriad Convergence Sword Scripture from the bottom of her heart, so she did not find it boring.
Just like this, Chen Xi was immersed in his deduction, and he really did not notice the passage of time. Day after day and night after night, he sat cross-legged on the side of the ravine on True Heart Peak, not moving, eating, or drinking, like a clay statue.
During this period of time, the entire Peak of True Hearts walked on the right track, each of the 72 male and female District Court disciples were busy with their own duties and fulfilling their duties, he said, and it seems to be in perfect order.
Currently, Chen Xi's name had echoed throughout the cultivation world of the southern region, and these 72 disciples of the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect's Court of the Land were greatly honored and proud of this.
Moreover, since Chen Xi was the sword brother of Supreme Ancestor Bei Heng, it was, the resources and various benefits distributed by the sect to the True Heart Peak was one of the most generous in the entire sect, and that had caused the other Elite Disciples and even Elders to become extremely jealous. But they could only be jealous, yet could not arouse a hint of dissatisfaction and envy. What could they do about the Supreme Ancestor becoming Big Brother Chen Xi?
Something worth mentioning was that after the destruction of the Su Clan, the Su Clan's eldest son, Su Chan, who was originally a disciple of Ancestor Ling Du, suddenly disappeared. No one knows where he went, or whether he lived or died. Some said he was killed by his enemies, some said he had fled for his life, and there were some views on this. But as time passed, Su Chan's name gradually faded from everyone's field of vision, and no one mentioned it anymore.
The days passed quietly like this, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
On this day, it snowed heavily, causing the sky and earth to become a vast expanse of white. Bei Heng had arrived at True Heart Peak at daybreak, yet he saw that Chen Xi was still cultivating, and his body was buried by the snow, causing Bei Heng to be unable to see his appearance.
"Has he been cultivating all this time?" Bei Heng spoke in surprise. During this past year, he was also cultivating in the closed door, and this time, he was suddenly coveted with the desire to come see how Chen Xi's cultivation was proceeding, and this time, he was suddenly coveted with the desire to come see how Chen Xi's cultivation was proceeding, yet he never expected that Chen Xi seemed to be in closed-door cultivation as well.
“Yes, My brother has been sitting here without moving since last year. '' Chen Hao stood beside Bei Heng as he explained in a low voice.
"Last year? Could it be that this fellow had comprehended the Myriad Sword Convergence Holy Scriptures all along? "Bei Heng's expression was focused as he hurriedly arrived at Chen Xi's side. As expected, he noticed that the aura in Chen Xi's body was calm and dormant, and Chen Xi was not cultivating at all. Then, there was only one possibility, Chen Xi concluded the Myriad Convergence Sword Scripture in his heart!
“Myriad Convergence Sword Sacred Scripture? So that's how it is. That was the most difficult sword technique to cultivate in the world, and there was rarely anyone who could cultivate it successfully. '' Chen Hao suddenly understood. He had heard his teacher, Daoist Wen Xuan, talk about this sword technique, and he understood the difficulty in cultivating it.
“Nevermind, just process it. I hope he knows that backing down after knowing the difficulty is best, otherwise, it will just be a waste of time. '' Bei Heng shook his head before turning around and leaving.
“Retreat after knowing the difficulty? I hope Big Brother can cultivate it successfully .. Hmm, I have to work hard as well. I will return to Pine Mist City after a few years and rebuild the Chen Clan to console Grandfather's soul in heaven. '' Chen Hao muttered before leaving right after that.
Another year's cold wind blew. Chen Xi had already been sitting quietly on the side of the ravine for two years, yet he still did not have the slightest resurgence.
In addition to cultivating diligently and bitterly, Chen Hao would come to the top of the mountain to visit his brother. Chen Hao actually noticed that Chen Xi's face was getting paler, his cheeks became thin, his long hair and thick beard were already hanging on the ground, and his appearance was very haggard.
When he saw this scene, Chen Hao could not help but worry for Chen Xi. Spending out too much energy was extremely dangerous for one's cultivation, because not only was it endangering one's vitality, it was also very easy for one to suffer from qi irregularities. If it was like this, then one's cultivation would be completely crippled.
During this period of time, Bei Heng, Daoist Wen Xuan, Ling Kongzi, Du Qingxi, Duanmu Ze, Song Lin and the others had all come to visit Chen Xi, and they had all come to visit, but when they found out that Chen Xi had comprehended the Myriad Convergence Sword. The Bible all along, they sighed nonstop as well.
There was no denying that Chen Xi's natural talent was extraordinary, and her strength was also extremely great. But as far as everyone was concerned, the hope for him to successfully cultivate the Myriad Convergence Sword Scripture was very small, and Chen Xi's actions instead became an unnecessary, time-wasting matter, waste, and a difficult but futile task.
Gradually, the entire Wanderingcloud Sword Sect knew that Chen Xi was cultivating the Myriad Convergence Sword Scriptures. Some sighed in awe, some in awe, but even more of them were hesitant, because no one thought he would succeed, and they purely considered this matter a tragedy. A very young genius now was already no different from a madman, and it actually caused others to sigh uneasily.
Third year
Fourth year.
In his fifth year, as he stared at the silent and motionless Chen Xi, Chen Hao could not help but feel some worry in his heart, and he intended to wake his brother up. Because he could sense that his brother's vitality aura had already become extremely weak, and that was even if it was about to dry up soon. If this continued, Chen Xi would definitely die.
Hm? Just when Chen Hao was intending to make a move, he suddenly realized that Chen Xi's body seemed to have moved slightly, but when he looked carefully, it still remained silent and motionless.
Could I be hallucinating? Just when Chen Hao was confused, Chen Hao suddenly realized that Chen Xi had opened his eyes, and his eyes were filled with threads of blood, causing them to become completely red and extremely frightening.
"Brother, are you awake?" Chen Hao spoke in a trembling voice.
Chen Xi did not pay attention to Chen Hao and he instead stood up, his entire body skinny to the point of being like bamboo, and his cheeks and eyes even sunk deeply, causing him to dreadfully look.
"Yes!" Chen Xi began to breathe deeply and circulate his Shaman Energy. Instantly, the thread of blood in his eyes disappeared rapidly, the skin around his body glared once more, and his withered wrinkles disappeared; replacing them was a lustrous and shiny sheen like warm jade. His face once again recovered from his handsome appearance from before.
In an instant, Chen Xi was like a completely different person, extraordinary and handsome, and he did not have the bad appearance from before.
“My brother, you finally realized that you have lost your way and are back on the right path. No matter how tough the Myriad Convergence Sword Scripture is, it doesn't matter if you don't cultivate it. '' Chen Hao spoke anxiously.
Chen Xi was stunned, and he did not say anything more before forming a sword with his fingers and stabbing it out.
This point contained no trace of True Essence, yet when it entered Chen Hao's eyes, it was as if it had perfectly fused with the surrounding space, unpredictable, vast, and elusive. It seemed as if he would not be able to dodge this point attack attack, no matter what he did. He really seemed like he had fallen into a hopeless situation that caused him to feel helpless.
It was as unpredictable and profound as the sky in ancient times, and it was precisely the Qian Sword of Sky.
But Chen Hao had been infatuated by the Dao Sword ever since he was young. During these past few years, he had even scolded the True Dao Sword he comprehended becoming more powerful, and it had vaguely touched the borders of the Dao Region Stage. So how could he not put up a fight when faced with Chen Xi's casual point attack?
"Bring!" Chen Hao shouted loudly, and he also formed a sword with his fingers before sweeping through the air. Instantly, a vast, mighty, and high straight aura gushed out from his fingertips, and it pressed forward invincibly as it moved to collide directly with Chen Xi's approaching fingertips.
Chen Xi lightly smiled as she moved her finger. Instantly, it was as if a huge river that surged forward with great momentum was formed, and was able to withstand everything in the world, allowing it to easily disperse Chen Hao's attacks into nothingness.
Nothing in this world is softer than water, yet a powerful attack is unable to defeat him – Kan Sword of Water.
Chen Hao's thwarted move instead stirred up stubbornness in his heart. The characters move repeatedly immediately, the smooth sword movements are like embroidered reading pieces used to describe culture and write history, and every word is beautiful and true. It probably filled every inch of space, as if it was a celestial being that had arrived in the mortal realm and did not tolerate any offense.
Chen Xi smiled, her figure moved once more, and she successively utilized the Kun Sword of Ground, the March Dui Sword, the Li Fire Sword, the Zhen Lightning Sword, and the Mountain Sword Gen, respectively, and all were rejected. Chen Hao's attack with a single strike, and his sword movements were unrivalled in the world.
"Enough, enough. '' Chen Hao jumped up and said loudly, But I will not admit defeat. I will surpass you one day. ”
"Then I will wait, hahaha ..." Chen Xi's laughter grew louder, his voice as clear and melodious as the roar of a dragon, and it actually resounded in the heavens and earth, and it was truly resounding in the heavens and earth, expressing an indescribable feeling of happiness and joy.
Sitting there being haggard for five years, ignoring food and sleeping while making every effort to succeed. Danger and difficulty in this is something that cannot be said to others unless one has experienced it oneself.
