Chapter 422: Reverse Practice of the Great Thousand Records, the Prison Sword Sect’s Method

"Suo Jianyuan", the three words engraved in front of the cave are not only strong in font, but also the strokes of the pen are three points deep into the mountain, which is extremely aggressive.

The most important thing is that these three words actually contain a sword meaning that even Lu Chen was amazed by.

So much so that after Lu Chen saw these three words, the sword intent in his body palpitated.

It seems that he wants to compete with the sword intention contained in these three words.

Tian Kui on the side turned to look in the direction of Lu Chen and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, it seems that you also felt the arrogance of Sword Ancestor back then, right?"

Lu Chen nodded.

After all, being able to experience the sword's will that lasts for tens of thousands of years has already reached a state beyond enlightenment.

As for what is beyond enlightenment, Lu Chen really has no clue.

Even with his current knowledge and realm, he cannot yet speculate on the elegance of that realm.

But the sword intention contained in the three words "Suo Jian Yuan" in front of him gave Lu Chen a vague idea.

It's just that this little bit of aura is too rare, and Lu Chen hasn't thought of the key yet.

Therefore, he felt that he could not see clearly and understand the true mystery.

But even so, the sword meaning contained in these three words still brought certain gains to Lu Chen.

When the opportunity comes in the future, or he has some new insights into the way of swordsmanship.

The sword intention that he has memorized now may be the key to helping him break through the 'Enlightenment Realm'.

Tian Kui, who was next to Lu Chen, seemed to be caught up in some kind of reminiscence at this time, and said with emotion: "Once upon a time, the old man Sword Ancestor was in these nine realms, and everyone knew about it."

"His disciples are spread all over the nine realms, and they are famous and majestic."

"It's just that times have changed. The disciples of the Sword Sect who shocked the Nine Realms back then can now only survive in the shadow of the Nine Realms."

"Let those who deceive the world and steal their reputation be allowed to do evil in these nine realms."

Hearing this, Lu Chen asked: "What caused this?"

Tian Kui's expression gradually turned cold, and the murderous intention in his body began to take on a more substantial form.

It was obvious that just thinking about what had happened, he could no longer control the murderous intention in his heart.

It can be seen that what happened back then was so impressive to him that it was almost engraved in his bones.

"I actually don't know exactly what happened that year."

"After all, I was originally an ordinary peach tree in the suburbs of Jian Zong. Fortunately, I was able to enter cultivation with the guidance of Jian Zong."

"And by the time I can cultivate my true spirit and be able to transform into a human form and walk, the Sword Sect will already be a candle in the wind."

"Because the Sword Ancestor at that time had already transferred part of the Sword Ancestor's land to him and escaped into the void, which is the border area."

"It was only after a period of time that I was able to completely transform."

"Maybe it's because of this that the old man Jianzu gave me a few words before he locked himself up."

"First, let me unite with the other remaining Sword Sect disciples to create a new Nine Realms Sword Sect here and rename it the Prison Sword Sect."

"The second is that if we want to practice swordsmanship, we must cut off the eye root among the six roots. And when practicing, we must focus on the mind, focus on the cultivation, and use the mind to control the sword."

"If not, then it would be better to find another way."

"As for this third sentence, it has something to do with you, fellow Taoist."

"Is it related to me?"

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect this to happen again.

After all, it can be said that he and Sword Ancestor have never met each other and have no connection.

But looking at Tian Kui's serious look, Lu Chen was very sure that what he said was true.

So Lu Chen asked curiously: "What is the third sentence?"

"Those who enter Sword Mountain can enter Sword Abyss."

Those who enter Sword Mountain can enter Sword Abyss...

Lu Chen thought about this sentence and soon understood why Tiankui said that the third sentence was related to him.

The so-called entering Sword Mountain undoubtedly means being able to enter the depths of the Sword Avenue.

And if you are in the world of immortality, or in the normal avenue.

Although it is difficult to enter Sword Mountain, there are still many people who can do it.

But in the Nine Realms, or rather the Nine Realms after the death of Sword Ancestor.

It is undoubtedly very difficult to do this.

Not to mention that the Sword Mountain and the Sword Avenue are currently being watched by the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Realms.

If you are not careful, you may be targeted by the Nine Realms of Heaven.

Just wanting to enter the blocked Sword Mountain is undoubtedly not an easy task.

If it weren't for Lu Chen's breakthrough to the Divine Transformation stage and the fact that he himself had seen Jianshan in other worlds.

Maybe there is no way to summon the Nine Realms Sword Mountain some time ago.

Lu Chen even felt that his true spirit, which was not bred from the Nine Realms, might have played a key role.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen felt that Sword Ancestor might have had a premonition of something back then, so he specifically left these words.

"Have you ever entered this Suo Jian Abyss with the Prison Sword Sect?"

He was not dissuaded by the previous conversation.

Lu Chen asked calmly.

Although judging from Lu Chen's own speculation and Qiu Jianmen's attitude towards him.

The possibility of the other party harming you is extremely slim.

But Lu Chen still didn't let down his guard because of this.

Tiankui did not hide this issue.

"Suojian Abyss is the important place of the Sword Sect, and it is also the location of the true spirit of the Sword Ancestor."

"In the past tens of thousands of years, although we have thought about entering it, we have never been able to do it."

"And even if we find a way to enter it, we will be torn to pieces by the terrifying sword intent contained in it."

"Why do you say that, fellow Daoist?"

Tian Kui explained: "Fellow Daoist, you don't know that the people imprisoned in this Locking Sword Abyss are not only the true spirit of the Sword Ancestor, but also many sword slaves who have been bewitched by the Heavenly Dao."

"And most of these sword slaves were once high-ranking cultivators of the Sword Sect, and there are even those who have ascended to become immortals."

"If it weren't for the Sword Ancestor's personal intervention, and some of the sword masters were unwilling to sink into the twisted Heavenly Dao."

"It's not an easy task to suppress them here."

"Fellow Daoist, have you noticed that we have cut off our eyes?"

As Lu Chen walked along, he naturally saw the unique situation of the Prison Sword Sect.

It can be said that the entire Prison Sword Sect, whether in the Nascent Soul Stage or the Qi Training Stage, has cut off their eyes.

In the huge Prison Sword Sect, except for Lu Chen, an outsider, everyone is blind at the moment.

Although it is said that after reaching a certain realm, cultivators can use their true spirit to perceive external objects.

What they "see" is even more than what they see with their eyes.

But that is at least an ability that can only be acquired from the foundation-building stage.

Before that, ordinary blind cultivators are no different from real blind people.

It is naturally very difficult to practice.

Not to mention practicing swords.

And the reason why the Prison Sword Sect, or the Sword Ancestor, asked for this.

Although Lu Chen has guessed some of the answers, it is not as true as the explanation from the person involved.

Therefore, Lu Chen asked Tian Kui to explain something for him.

"Since the Sword Ancestor destroyed his body and sealed his true spirit, the Nine Realms Sword Dao has been temporarily preserved and is not affected by the Heavenly Dao."

"But at the same time, without the help of the Heavenly Dao, it has become extremely difficult for cultivators like me to break through."

"If the difficulty of ordinary people breaking through is one, the difficulty of our sword cultivators breaking through is ten."

"And the Heavenly Dao today is like heaven but not heaven, like a demon but not a demon."

"Under the normal Heavenly Dao, a cultivator who fails to break through will at most die."

"But under this twisted Heavenly Dao, a failure to break through... means being enslaved by the Heavenly Dao forever and losing oneself."

"Although the Sword Ancestor temporarily preserved the Great Dao of the Sword, he can only do so much. Compared with the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Realms, the power of the Sword Ancestor alone is still slightly insignificant."

"Therefore, Once a sword cultivator fails to break through, his own sword intent will be absorbed by the Nine Realms Heavenly Dao. "

"When the Nine Realms Heavenly Dao has mastered the sword path to a certain extent, the other party may use this to directly deprive the Sword Ancestor of his position in the Nine Realms Sword Dao and completely reclaim the Nine Realms Sword Dao."

"And at this point, our sword cultivators have completely lost."

"Therefore, one aspect of this self-destruction is to let us, the latecomers, focus on the practice of sword intent first."

"Only when we have sword intent far beyond the same realm can we kill the heavenly tribulation and break the shackles in the crisis-ridden breakthrough heavenly tribulation."

"If Daoyou has broken through in the Nine Realms, you must have encountered similar situations, right?"

Lu Chen nodded, whether it was the distorted heavenly way or the scene of the heavenly way enslaving all living beings.

He saw it clearly not long ago.

Although self-destruction will greatly increase the difficulty of sword cultivators' cultivation.

And many of those who were originally talented will waste their talents.

But considering the dangerous situation of sword cultivators in the Nine Realms.

It is a good idea for the Sword Ancestor to let the later generations do this.

However, if it is just like this, there will surely be those who are self-important among the later generations, thinking that even if they do not cut off their eyes, they can still obtain sword intent beyond the same level.

And there must be many such people in the long time.

Therefore, there must be some other reasons for the Prison Sword Sect to cut off its eyes.

Otherwise, how could there not be even one rebel among the already unruly sword cultivators?

And Tian Kui's next words gave a perfect explanation to Lu Chen's speculation.

"In fact, if that were the case, among the disciples of my Prison Sword Sect who have been here for tens of thousands of years, there must be some rebellious people who are unwilling to kill themselves."

"Therefore, this involves another aspect, that is, the influence of the Nine Realms Heavenly Dao on the sentient beings of the Nine Realms today."

"I don't know how you understand the Heavenly Dao, at least in our Prison Sword Sect, all Heavenly Daos are actually a kind of existence similar to the Sword Mountain."

"The difference is that the Sword Mountain is the place where all the sword intentions of the millions of sentient beings in the Nine Realms gather."

"And the Heavenly Dao is the place where all the laws of the millions of sentient beings in the Nine Realms gather."

"All sentient beings have their own roots. The quality of the root is determined by the Heavenly Dao. "

"And those of us hiding in the Sword Prison Sect are, in a sense, the abandoned disciples of the Heavenly Dao today, and it is difficult for us to have superior roots."

"In layman's terms, most of the people born in our Sword Prison Sect have no talent for cultivation."

"In this way, if we want to practice, we must use external objects to help us make up for our deficient roots."

"And this thing... is the sword in our hands."

As he said this, Tian Kui raised the Tian Kui Sword in his hand.

"With the sword as the bones and the law as the skin, we can rebuild the Great Dao and embark on the practice."

"Whether we are willing or not, once we step on the Great Dao again, we will inevitably be affected by the current Heavenly Dao of the Nine Realms."

"In order to ensure that our original heart is not lost and our original appearance is not destroyed, we must cut off our eyes and ignore external objects, only look at the sword in our hands, and take it as the root of all laws."

"If you don't do this, no matter what your realm is or what your character is, you will eventually be affected by the way of heaven, and in time and again, it will converge with the way of heaven and turn into a distorted thing."

“This is not what I think alone, but the result proven by countless people’s actual actions.”

"That's why I'm waiting to die."

Hearing this, Lu Chen also completely understood.

The reason why everyone in Prison Sword Gate must cut off their eyes.

There are two reasons for this.

The first is to allow oneself to focus on sword practice.

Another one is to avoid being affected by the Nine Realms of Heaven.

Although the method is crude, it is very effective.

At least the monks from Prison Sword Sect were among the monks from the Nine Realms he met along the way.

A group of people who best fit the image of orthodox monks.

It's not easy to stay true to your heart in such a twisted world.

Not only that, the mortals living around the Prison Sword Gate are also the most stable among the mortals in the Nine Realms that Lu Chen has seen.

After all, the Prison Sword Sect is different from the twisted monks outside who wear the guise of cultivating but actually do demonic things.

They are pure sword cultivators and do not need to use other people's lives to practice any evil ways.

But after understanding this, Lu Chen was curious about something.

"The so-called practice means you can have no skills, but you can't be helpless. I wonder what my friends are doing?"

Tiankui smiled and said: "It seems that fellow Taoists still don't trust us and want to judge people by the Dharma."

Lu Chen did not refute, because he did think so.

After all, what Dharma monks practice reflects to a large extent what kind of people they are.

If you could take a look at the core method of Prison Sword Sect.

Then he can also use this to give everyone in Prison Sword Sect a clearer judgment.

Under Lu Chen's curious eyes, Tiankui took out a special book called 'Xiao Qian Lu' and handed it to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen looked at this technique, and after a moment, he showed a surprised expression.

Because this technique looks very similar to the Daqianlu of Daqian Mountain.

The only difference is that Xiao Qian Lu is the reverse training version of Da Qian Lu.

The main spirit of Daqianlu is light on the skin.

Xiao Qianlu is just the opposite, mainly superficial and light.

And because the monks of the Prison Sword Sect used the 'Spirit Sword' to replenish their own abilities.

Therefore, their skin is equal to the ‘sword’ and their spirit is the ‘sword’.

In this way, it is very suitable for their situation.

Use your profound sword intention to control your own spiritual sword.

In this way, we can avoid the situation where people are inferior to swords and become sword slaves.

At this point, Lu Chen was almost able to determine the character of everyone in the Prison Sword Sect.

This is a group of pure sword cultivators.

Their level of purity makes it difficult to find anyone similar to them, even in the world of immortality.

A bunch of weirdos, but also a bunch of...interesting people.
