Chapter 880 What Is True?
In the second year, Huan Yin no longer persisted in understanding the deeper source of Yang. Because he could feel that the conditions and opportunities he had now were far from enough. If he forced himself to realize it, it would only be a waste of time.
This year, Huan Yin chose to walk down from the cloud platform and enter the military pavilion to learn sword making from Wei Bing.
Sword-making is a craft and an indispensable skill for Huan Yin. If Huan Yin didn't know how to make swords in his life, even if he still had powerful means and the "Infinite Sutra", he would probably have died thousands of times. After all, magical weapons are a great help to monks, and even beings like the Infinite Venerable have to forge swords themselves.
Spending a whole year learning to make swords was not a long time at all for Huan Yin. Especially when studying with Wei Bing, the number one master of weapon refining in the human world, not to mention one year, even tens of millions of years would not be enough.
This year, Huan Yin studied very seriously, and the master Wei Bing also taught attentively. He even specially introduced a lot of heavenly weapon refining materials to Huan Yin who was about to go to heaven, and some even brought out real objects. .
The learning process is inseparable from teaching by words and deeds, and naturally it is also inseparable from hands-on practice. So during this year, in addition to listening to Wei Bing's teachings and watching Wei Bing's hands-on drills, Huan Yin would also start practicing from time to time to make the learning effect better.
Huan Yin's last practice in this year can also be regarded as a self-test of his studies this year, or it is the last report card he handed to Wei Bing before leaving the army, which is to practice again. Xingtian.
This time, perhaps because Wei Bing was there to give guidance, or because Huan Yin hoped to reassure Wei Bing, he did it more boldly than ever before. He chose to add two attributes to Xingtian at once, namely fire and yang, which he had realized the source of but had not yet added. At the same time, Huan Yin will naturally not forget to deepen the persistence in his sword. After all, this is the essence of what is described in "Infinite Sword", and it is also the key to making the immortal sword truly break through the eleventh level and enter the realm of weapon saint attainments.
The whole process was not easy for Wei Bing. For Huan Yin, the apprentice, there are naturally many difficulties. During this period, Huan Yin spent a lot of time and energy, wasted a lot of materials, and experienced many near-failures.
But fortunately, Huangtian finally paid off. No matter what he went through, Huan Yin finally succeeded in one fell swoop and handed over a qualified report card to Wei Bing.
Xingtian, who has undergone extensive training again, is different from before. This time, the entire five-foot-long sword's edge was completely covered in bright fiery red ripples, as if it had been dyed with a layer of bright color. And if Xing Tian is exposed to the sun again, he will find that the fiery red ripples are like coming to life and can actually flow on their own, and during the flow, they will burst out with light like sunlight.
Obviously, the fiery red ripples are undoubtedly the representation of the flame attribute. And the changes under the sunlight are manifestations of the attribute of Yang. These two appearances actually represent Huan Yin's success in cultivation this time. Both of these appearances are displayed through the fiery red ripples, which can be said to be integrated into one, which illustrates the perfect combination of the flame attribute and the Yang attribute in Xingtian. In other words, Huan Yin not only succeeded in adding two attributes to Xingtian at once, but also made the two added attributes echo each other and complement each other.
This result is more ingenious than adding different attributes twice, and it will benefit Xingtian more. It can be seen from this that Huan Yin really did not waste this year. Under the guidance of Wei Bing, his sword-making skills once again improved and improved a lot.
However, Huan Yin's greatest success this year was not his success in adding two attributes at once, but his determination to add his own into Xingtian.
This year, Huan Yin thoroughly studied the middle volume of "Infinite Sword", and Wei Bing fully imparted his understanding of the meaning of the sword. Huan Yin benefited a lot from the sword god. And such gains were naturally directly reflected in Huan Yin's entire sword-making process and displayed above Xingtian.
Although the strength of determination contained in Xing Tian now is far from complete, it is at least ten times stronger than the last time Huan Yin joined the determination. In this way, even if Huan Yin hadn't come to wave Xing Tian, his persistence could still be expressed lightly. This is called the sword naturally containing God, without the need to deliberately inject it.
Such a change can be regarded as a qualitative change in the realm of sword making, and it represents Huan Yin's real step towards becoming a weapon saint. Perhaps this step is a little insignificant, but without this step, Huan Yin would still be just an ordinary weapon immortal.
Judging from Xing Tian's current state, if Huan Yin were to wield a sword, I am afraid that the persistence contained in his sword light would be able to shake the mighty and have frightening power. In this way, each of Huan Yin's swords from now on will not only be as simple as before, but also one sword equal to two swords, making it difficult for people to guard against and defend against.
However, although Huan Yin's sword-making was a huge success this time, there was one thing that surprised him. Huan Yin originally thought that after he successfully added two attributes to Xingtian and greatly increased his sword power, Xingtian would be able to successfully climb two levels and enter the eleventh level. However, this is not the case.
After Xing Tian entered the super tenth level, it became extremely difficult to climb up the realm. In the end, even though Huan Yin succeeded again and again, Xing Tian seemed to have hit a bottleneck and could no longer climb up.
Wei Bing gave an explanation for this unexpected phenomenon. That is, sword forging is just like the cultivation of a cultivator. The higher the realm, the more difficult it is to continue to improve. So now, although Xing Tian was added with two attributes and a lot of sword intent at once, he still failed to successfully break through.
However, Huan Yin could feel that Xing Tian was not far from a real breakthrough. This success could become the foundation for Xing Tian's next leap. Perhaps the next time Huan Yin adds another attribute, Xing Tian will be completely different.
After the second year, Huan Yin only had one year left in Ziyin Sect, or in other words, he only had one year left in the human world. This year, Huan Yin did not focus on any single thing, did not seek to improve his cultivation, and did not seek the strength of magic weapons.
Huan Yin knew very well that his qualifications were the best in the three realms, and his comprehension was high, so his cultivation speed was unusually fast, and even the speed of obtaining source power was the same. But if it was too fast, it would often make his foundation seem unreliable and unsolid. If this continues, the whole person will become superficial, and eventually, even if the cultivation is high, it will become a superficial thing.
Therefore, Huan Yin needs to fully settle down, so he spends his time on some seemingly trivial and unrelated things. Sometimes he asks Guang Chengzi for swordsmanship, sometimes he learns magic from Wei Bing, sometimes he exchanges skills with his fellow disciples, and sometimes he is immersed in classics, as if he has no focus at all.
Huan Yin feels that although he does not have special concentration in doing these things, and cannot bring obvious strength growth, he can consolidate his foundation from the details. In other words, seeking small ways instead of big ways is the best way to get rid of superficiality and fully settle down.
However, although it seems that Huan Yin's cultivation has no focus at all, Huan Yin himself has a real focus in his heart. This focus makes Huan Yin spend almost all his time secretly studying in addition to doing those seemingly trivial things, just to find an answer. And this focus sounds very simple, that is, Huan Yin wants to know what is "real".
In fact, since Huan Yin first came into contact with Xuanyuan Sword, he had thought about this question many times in his mind. As his own cultivation became higher and higher, and he understood more and more Dao, this question became more and more prominent. He found that the stronger he became, the more he found that this question was in obvious conflict with all his Dao.
Because no matter how profound the Dao is, it seems to be false in front of Xuanyuan Sword, and can be easily broken by a sword. Only the feeling of holding Xuanyuan Sword is the greatest truth.
Regarding the question of truth, Huan Yin's mind has been upgraded again, that is, since he met the beast mother and began to practice descending spirits. The descending spirit says: The path of animals is all false. Falsehood is false, which is the opposite of truth. This statement seems to be exactly opposite to the truth of Xuanyuan Sword, but if you analyze it carefully, you will find that they are the same.
Saying that the path of animals is false, if you remove the word "animal", it becomes "the Dao is false". In this way, isn't it exactly the same as the feeling given by Xuanyuan Sword, as if all the Dao in this world is false?
Huan Yin has been practicing for his whole life. If someone says that everything he has worked so hard to get is fake, he will be the first one to disbelieve it. However, the two things related to the mysterious ancient times, Xuanyuan Sword and Jiangling, seem to be completely opposite to the Tao that Huan Yin has seen, which makes Huan Yin have to have some ideas in his mind.
When reading the classics, Huan Yin actually often looks up questions about truth and falsehood. Naturally, he also privately pondered and carefully considered it many times. At the same time, he did not forget to ask Wei Bing and Guangchengzi for advice, hoping to get the answer.
Speaking of which, even Huan Yin himself did not know why he was so keen on such a simple question. If it were someone else, I am afraid that this question would have been thrown behind his mind long ago. After all, spending time repeatedly pondering this question instead of practicing, wouldn't it be a bit stupid?
Huan Yin knew that he just couldn't let it go, and he just had to think about it over and over again. It seemed that in his subconscious, seeking the answer to this question had become the pursuit of the Tao, or even a higher level than that. Huan Yin only felt that this simple question seemed to contain a huge mystery, or a shocking secret, or even a huge lie.
