Chapter 79: Half a Year of Hard Training Passed Quickly
In the blink of an eye, another three months have passed. Unconsciously, Li Chuyi has been in Taixu Palace, or more precisely, in this small courtyard on Shenjian Peak for more than half a year.
In the past six months, Li Chuyi has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to when he first came. In the past six months, he has changed from a novice cultivator who had a lot of strange magic power but didn't know how to use it to a master who has entered the realm of swordsmanship and is considered quite extraordinary even in the outside world. Especially three months ago, during the epiphany, he almost ran out of mana and fainted, and Ye Zhichen told him that he was not strong enough to leave the courtyard but couldn't go down the mountain. He was extremely eager for the outside world and practiced like crazy.
Every day before dawn, Li Chuyi would come to the courtyard and practice the basic swordsmanship that he had never looked down on before. This is not because he does not know other advanced sword techniques. On the contrary, he has read most of the sword manuals, sword techniques and various skills hidden in Ye Zhichen's study during this period, and he has mastered many skills and sword techniques. However, he understands the importance of the basics, remembers what Ye Zhichen once said, and has been practicing the nine basic essentials of swordsmanship repeatedly.
With the continuous practice of stabbing, chopping, lifting, hanging, clouding, tapping, collapsing, intercepting and pulling, Li Chuyi feels that the more he practices, the more unfathomable and memorable it is. He feels that these nine seemingly simple basic movements can be combined in any way, as if they can be infinitely changed.
And the facts prove that her feeling is right. As he continues to practice, he is surprised to find that when practicing other sword techniques, as long as he studies and adjusts them a little, he can master them proficiently and use them flexibly, and he will no longer feel the difficulty when he first learned the sword technique of "Ten Thousand Swords Jue Fragments", and he will not make any farce of losing his long sword.
Although he could not control the flying sword due to insufficient skill, and it was impossible for him to realize his dream of "flying on the sword", he still felt very satisfied. After all, he had learned a lot of sword techniques and skills to control the flying sword, and what he lacked was skill.
And the improvement of skill depends on the "Dao Dian" he has practiced since childhood. As he learned more and more skills, Li Chuyi felt more and more that the "Dao Dian" was unpredictable.
Ordinary cultivators usually only practice one way, concentrate on practicing one skill, and constantly open up the meridians according to the skill, and grow little by little as the magic power circulates in the meridians. It is not impossible to practice several skills occasionally, but you must pay attention to the conflict between the skills. You cannot choose skills that conflict with the meridians, otherwise you will go crazy and lose all your skills, or even explode and die. Even if you choose a skill that you don't want to conflict with, the cultivator will be distracted and the progress of several skills will be slowed down at the same time, which is not good. Therefore, very few people choose to practice multiple skills.
But Li Chuyi does not have this restriction. He found that any technique, as long as he learned it, would slowly open up the meridians under the strange breath-like magic power cultivated in the Dao Canon, and then operate on its own. Not only did it not have the threshold and bottleneck problems mentioned in the technique texts, but it was also a problem of conflicting techniques.
Now if you observe Li Chuyi's body, you will be surprised to find that his body is full of networks formed by countless meridians. This is because he has practiced many different techniques. And these complex networks are actually running at the same time, unlike other cultivators who only run one set or several sets that do not conflict with each other. In these meridians that are running at the same time, some places where the magic power flows to the opposite or even conflicting directions, it seems that Li Chuyi's magic power has its own consciousness. The magic power in the meridians actually automatically avoids each other, and a strange scene of two streams of magic power flowing in completely opposite directions in one meridian appears.
When he first discovered it, Li Chuyi was shocked. He was naturally afraid of death, and seeing such a strange scene in his body, he was naturally terrified. But after careful observation, he found that he had no problem at all. Not only that, with many exercises running at the same time, the mana in his body was growing day by day, which gradually made him feel relieved.
As the mana increased, Li Chuyi found that the breath in his body did not increase at all, but was mixed in the energy-like mana. As the number of exercises he practiced increased, it gradually became thinner, and the speed of opening up meridians when learning new exercises became slower and slower. So far, Li Chuyi finally confirmed one thing. The breath cultivated in the "Daodian" is indeed not mana, but it is a booster for mana. If you want to continue to master more exercises and let them run at the same time, and increase the speed of your mana condensation, then the understanding of the "Daodian" is crucial.
After thinking about this, Li Chuyi selected some exercises with slow mana growth and stopped them from running, and only kept some exercises with fast mana growth; on the other hand, whenever he had time, he racked his brains for the ten incomprehensible scriptures, trying to make further progress and increase the breath in his body again.
But he had only mastered a little of the ten chapters of the Dao Canon through his free contemplation. Although he has worked a hundred times harder now, the results are minimal. Thinking about the seventh chapter that he had accidentally comprehended in the void, Li Chuyi gradually realized that the comprehension of the Dao Canon was not achieved through hard practice, but also depended on chance.
In desperation, Li Chuyi set his sights on the "Wuji Qiankun Dao" that the Taoist left him before he left. Li Chuyi was deeply impressed by the Taoist's often used, seemingly powerless and boundless Wuji Dao method. He had seen the Taoist use this method since he was a child, so he naturally knew how powerful it was. Thinking about the strong winds blocking the road outside the courtyard, Li Chuyi believed that as long as he could cultivate this method, even if it was only a small success, and then put a layer of protective magic around him, he believed that a mere strong wind would not be a problem, and even the nine-day strong wind would not be impossible to resist.
Flipping through "Wuji Qiankun Dao", Li Chuyi found that the difficulty of practicing this technique was not as simple as he thought. This technique is roughly divided into four realms, Qiankun Borrowing Method, Qiankun Controlling Method, I am Qiankun, and Qiankun I Decide. The four realms not only have strict requirements on the cultivator's mana, but also have requirements on the cultivator's state of mind, Taoism, and even soul.
After practicing hard for a long time, Li Chuyi could only perform some Taoist magic in the realm of borrowing magic. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this magic was worthy of being the Taoist's signature skill, and he was even more fortunate that he was lucky enough to realize the realm of swordsmanship. If he practiced normally, unless he broke through the sword energy restriction at the door with force, he would never be able to go down the mountain without ten or eight years of hard practice.
Fortunately, although he could not perform many spells in the realm of borrowing magic, there were indeed protective spells in it, and Li Chuyi couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He felt that he was one step closer to going down the mountain.
In this way, under the strong desire to go out, Li Chuyi continued to practice hard, and time passed quickly.
Until this day, Li Chuyi, who had just finished practicing swordsmanship and was about to rest, suddenly felt that the magic power that had been slowly increasing in his body suddenly stopped, and then gathered towards his lower abdomen like leaves in the wind, and gathered more and more, gradually forming a huge air mass.
Feeling the pain in his abdomen as if it was about to burst, Li Chuyi couldn't help but hold his stomach and screamed repeatedly.
"Fuck you, am I going to give birth?"
