Chapter 1261 Sword Pavilion

For a cultivator, a hundred days pass in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Li Ke was lying on a rock, enjoying a sunbath. Across the forest, he looked at Xiao Lin, who was meditating on the mysteries of the sword, with a bit of envy and admiration on his face.

He thought of himself. It had been forty years since he started practicing. Although he had advanced to the middle stage of foundation building, it was still very difficult for him to practice as a casual cultivator.

Li Ke thought of twenty years ago, when he had just advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refining. He was full of vigor and had the spirit of "everyone in the world is for the people, and I am the only immortal in the world".

At that time, his only goal was to join the Immortal Sword Sect and become a sword cultivator.

Unfortunately, after twenty years, he had enlightened several times, but he still could not comprehend the sword meaning, so he was naturally rejected by the Immortal Sword Sect. As for the large number of outer disciples of the Immortal Sword Sect, Li Ke disdained them from the bottom of his heart.

"Ah~~" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

Over fifty, his cultivation progress is only moderate. How can he go further on the path of immortality? Not to mention the fusion of body and refining emptiness, even if it is the transformation of spirit and primordial infant, he is afraid that there is no hope in this life.

While he was thinking about it, his eyes suddenly focused, and he saw that Senior Xiao, who was sitting on the cliff, suddenly appeared around him with dense dark green sword energy. These dark green sword energy spread in all directions with an extremely shocking pressure.

Even Yin Tianyijian, who was standing aside, was startled and stood up in shock, with a deep look of horror in his eyes.

As a sword cultivator, his attainments in swordsmanship were not inferior to the two Bai family masters that Xiao Lin met in the mortal world. He naturally understood that the person in front of him had already achieved success in comprehension and had further improved in the realm of swordsmanship, otherwise such a strange phenomenon would not have occurred.

Then a phoenix cry resounded through the void, and a huge phoenix shadow gradually emerged behind Xiao Lin. When the phoenix shadow grew to hundreds of feet in size, it suddenly flew into the air, directly inserted into the nine-day white clouds and disappeared without a trace, leaving only the phoenix cry echoing in the mountains.

Xiao Lin was still sitting cross-legged, his expression did not change at all, but waves of ripples began to emanate from his side.

It was unknown how long it had been, but the phoenix that had almost condensed into substance in the void suddenly broke through the white clouds, fell from the sky, and shot directly into Xiao Lin's body through Baihui.

"Buzz~~" The ripples around it exploded directly, layer by layer, spreading out in all directions, and wherever this power passed, whether it was ancient trees, flowers, plants, mountains, rocks, or lakes, they were all cut by extremely sharp things.

Even the lake under the mountain had dozens of cracks, just like the gaps cut by a sharp sword.

What was even more bizarre was that these cracks did not heal. Even after the ripples spread hundreds of feet away and disappeared without a trace, the smooth cracks still existed.

Qiao Feng, who was standing aside, stared at all this in amazement.

After a long time, he murmured to himself: "This... This is the realm of swordsmanship that the master of Jingchen Waterfall could reach in the past. He... Only closed his eyes for a hundred days, actually?"

At this time, Xiao Lin slowly opened his eyes, revealing his deep eyes. The extremely sharp sword energy on his body had completely disappeared, replaced by a gentle and handsome young man, who looked harmless.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist Qiao. I have benefited a lot from being able to comprehend the mysteries of swordsmanship again. All this depends on the mercy shown by fellow Daoist Qiao before." Xiao Lin said modestly.

Qiao Feng's face showed a touch of warmth when he heard this. He hurriedly returned the greeting and then sighed softly.

"Ah~ Fellow Daoist Xiao is extremely talented and truly a rare swordsmanship genius. I, Qiao, cannot compare to him. I am ashamed, ashamed."

"It was just a coincidence for me. If it weren't for the profound principles of the senior swordsman contained in this Jingchen Waterfall, I would not have been able to break through."

Qiao Feng couldn't help but smile and shook his head. After waving his hand, he sat cross-legged on the rock and slowly closed his eyes, obviously seeing him off.

Xiao Lin was not unhappy either. He still bowed to Qiao Feng. Then, with a slight shake of his body, he turned into a ray of light and shot towards the distant forest.

"Stop~~"

In the distant forest, a sword light suddenly shot up into the sky. This sword light contained a trace of sharpness. Wherever it passed, it actually tore the air apart, making a sharp whistle.

"Huh?" Xiao Lin was slightly stunned, and then smiled slightly.

"I didn't expect that Li Ke is actually quite talented. He actually realized the sword intent in such a short time."

It turned out that the sharp sword energy was emitted by Li Ke. He also practiced the sword art. In order to join the inner sect of the Immortal Sword Sect, he had visited the Twelve Sword Tombs several times to comprehend the sword intent, but unfortunately he never succeeded.

It is precisely because of this that even after advancing to the middle stage of foundation building, he is still a casual cultivator.

But at the moment when Xiao Lin broke through, the sword essence contained in it also burst out at the same time. Li Ke actually realized the essence of the sword and condensed the sword intent in one fell swoop. It must be said that it was also a blessing from heaven.

Xiao Lin did not disturb Li Ke who was in seclusion, but quietly floated down to a rock several dozen feet away and stood quietly.

Xiao Lin's eyes were extremely sharp now. He had seen that Li Ke was also practicing the sword art. It was a natural process for him to be able to condense the sword intention today, not a sudden enlightenment.

In fact, Xiao Lin was the same. He had been practicing the Jiesha Sword Art for hundreds of years. He had been stagnating at the prison art of the nine-character mantra and could not make any further progress for hundreds of years.

Now, after a hundred days of meditation in front of the Jingchen Waterfall, he realized the unstoppable momentum. The sword was sharp and unstoppable. He controlled the sword with his qi, condensed his spirit, and unified the sword and momentum, thus bursting out with earth-shaking power.

After understanding this, Xiao Lin's sword art realm, which had not been broken through for a long time, finally broke out like a dam bursting.

Xiao Lin had deliberately restrained his own momentum, otherwise the surrounding area within a hundred miles would have been turned into a mess.

However, Xiao Lin did not expect that Li Ke was also blessed with the opportunity to condense the sword intent, which would undoubtedly be an important turning point for his future path of cultivation.

Xiao Lin understood that he had just condensed the sword intent, and he still needed to consolidate his realm and absorb the sword intent into his soul, so that he could achieve the unity of sword and soul and lay a solid foundation.

So Xiao Lin waited quietly, which was also considered as protecting him.

A few days later, Li Ke, who was sitting cross-legged, finally opened his eyes, and two golden lights shot out from his eyes, flashing away.

Seeing the golden light in Li Ke's eyes, Xiao Lin suddenly had an idea, and a thoughtful light appeared in his eyes.

"Thank you, senior, Li Ke." Li Ke, who had comprehended the sword intent, came to Xiao Lin with an excited expression on his face, knelt directly on the ground, and kowtowed respectfully.

"No need to be polite, this is also your opportunity, the result of your hard work day and night." After Xiao Linsheng accepted his greeting, he waved his sleeves, and Li Ke suddenly felt an amazing force dragging him to stand up.

"If it weren't for the senior, even if Li Ke was given another thirty years, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to condense the sword intent." Li Ke knew that he couldn't continue to kneel, so he could only bow his hands to express his respect for the senior Xiao in front of him.

"Where is the sword ladder you mentioned earlier? When will it be opened?" Xiao Lin thought for a while and said.

According to what Li Ke said before, this thousand-layer sword ladder is the first holy place in the entire Jianyuan Mountain, and it is also the best place to comprehend the mysteries of the sword. Xiao Lin has now comprehended the word "momentum" and is thinking of striking while the iron is hot. If he can enter this thousand-layer sword ladder to comprehend it, maybe he can go to the next level.

But Li Ke's answer immediately afterwards made Xiao Lin silent.

It turns out that the Thousand-Layer Sword Ladder can only be opened once every thousand years. It will take more than a hundred years for the next opening. By then, several elders of the Immortal Sword Sect will join forces to open the entrance to the Thousand-Layer Sword Ladder.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin temporarily put aside the idea of ​​going to the Thousand-Layer Sword Ladder.

At this time, Xiao Lin saw Li Ke on the side, showing a funny look of wanting to say something but stopping.

"Just say it if you have something to say." Xiao Lin said calmly.

"Uh~" Li Ke saluted and said, "Replying to the senior, there is a thatched cottage in the southwest of Jianyuan Mountain, thousands of miles away from here. It was the holy place of Jianlu Sect ten thousand years ago. Unfortunately, Jianlu has long been in decline, and there are not many disciples left. Some time ago, Li Ke heard in Wanjian Immortal City that Jianlu Sect is recruiting people to inherit. As long as someone can enter the Jianlu Nine Palace Sword Formation and comprehend the Nine Palace Heavenly Mind Sword Art of the old man Jianlu, they can become the contemporary successor of Jianlu and become the real master of Jianlu."

"Jianlu Sect?" Xiao Lin was a little unfamiliar with this name, but it was not surprising. There were no less than hundreds of sword sects in Jianyuan Mountain, not even including those that had declined and no one inherited their heritage.

The so-called Jianlu Sect is roughly one of this kind.

Xiao Lin did not want to become a successor of Jianlu, and he was not interested.

Li Ke seemed to have seen through Xiao Lin's thoughts, and hurriedly said: "The Nine Palaces Heavenly Mind Sword Art of Jianlu Elder is one of the few sword arts of the sword in the world of immortal cultivation. According to rumors, as long as you can practice it, you can not only greatly strengthen your own sword intention, allowing yourself to go further in the way of swordsmanship, but also greatly strengthen the mind of the immortal cultivator. Once you practice this Nine Palaces Heavenly Mind Sword Art, even if you are just getting started, your mind power will far exceed that of the cultivators of the same level. Even the Immortal Sword Sect coveted this sword art for a long time."

"Oh? The Immortal Sword Sect is known as the leader of the ten major sects, and the sect's internal skills are as numerous as the vast stars. Why would it covet the skills of a declining sect?" Xiao Lin asked curiously.

"Senior, you may not know that the power of the several sword techniques of the Immortal Sword Sect is naturally not inferior to the Nine Palaces Heavenly Mind Sword Technique. However, the Nine Palaces Heavenly Mind Sword Technique focuses on strengthening the sword intention of the cultivator, and the strength of the sword intention is also the foundation of a sword cultivator's cultivation. It is this feature that makes the Sword House famous. Unfortunately, over the years, there have been many cultivators who have entered the Nine Palaces Sword Formation, but no one has been able to comprehend the Nine Palaces Heavenly Mind Sword Technique. Senior, you are extremely talented and your sword realm is unfathomable. Why not try your luck? After all, if you can comprehend even a part of the Nine Palaces Heavenly Mind Sword Technique, you will benefit a lot."

Hearing this, Xiao Lin looked at Li Ke in surprise. This boy's realm is not high, but he has unique insights into the problem.

Once you get started with the Nine Palaces Heavenly Mind Sword Technique, you can greatly improve your own sword intention and spiritual consciousness. This effect really surprised Xiao Lin, because the effect of this sword technique is somewhat similar to the Bu Tian Sutra.

The Bu Tian Jing technique that Xiao Lin is practicing now is just a fragment, with only the secrets of the first to seventh levels. Of course, Xiao Lin has only practiced to the fifth level now, and there is still a long way to go before he can practice to the seventh level, but the incompleteness of the technique has always been a concern for Xiao Lin.

The world of immortal cultivation is vast and boundless, and there are countless races. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find the remaining techniques of the Bu Tian Jing.

Now that he plans to travel in this vast Jianyuan Mountain, it is okay to join in the excitement.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin made a decision immediately and asked Li Ke to point out the direction. Then Xiao Lin waved his sleeves, and a large piece of dark green spiritual light instantly wrapped Li Ke up. A dark green long rainbow rushed up to the sky, and after rising a thousand feet, it slightly bent and shot towards the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

......

Jianlu

Located on an island in the middle of a lake of dozens of miles in size, this island is only a few miles in size, and in the center of the island is a small hill that is only a few hundred feet high.

The entire island is covered with lush and towering ancient trees, presenting a thriving scene.

On the top of the hill is a square of a hundred feet in size, and near the side of the cliff stands an ancient thatched cottage.

In front of the thatched cottage, on a clearing of several feet in size, there are two long swords, one on the left and one on the right, showing gold and silver respectively.

Flashing with sharp sword light.

At this moment, there are no less than a thousand people standing around this square, and among these people, the lowest realm is also the realm of the Nascent Soul Stage.

At this moment, a shocking dark green long rainbow fell from the sky, and when the spiritual light dissipated, two figures were revealed, which were Xiao Lin and Li Ke.

After sensing the terrifying aura on Xiao Lin, which was like a vast abyss, the people who were close to him could not help but distance themselves from him, leaving several feet of space for Xiao Lin.

"That is the sword space. It is said that the cultivators enter it through the power of consciousness, and inside is the Nine Palace Sword Formation. At the same time, the mental formula of the Nine Palace Heavenly Mind Sword Art is also in this mind space." Li Ke explained from the side.

Xiao Lin nodded. The founder of this sword house is the old man of the sword house. Being able to create a mind space shows that his realm has reached an extremely high realm, at least he is a sword cultivator above the fusion stage.

Xiao Lin has a deep understanding of the terrifying sword cultivators. The battle power bursts that Bai Xingge and Bai Chongzun showed far exceeded those of the same level, and he still remembers it vividly.
