Chapter 71: The Three Meridians of the Sword Technique

  Exiting the space within the magic armor, Chu Ping's hands were grasping two beads the size of dragon eyes, with shimmering light and radiant colors, which were actually Medusa's two eyeballs!

  This was what Gu Tang had come for, and Chu Ping naturally didn't want to let Gu Tang bear a grudge over such a thing, so he took it out and handed it to Ling Xuzi on the side.

  These two beads are powerful, but after all, they are just external objects. The Qitian Sect has always emphasized the importance of the body over external objects, and even looks down on elixirs, let alone mere amplification artifacts!

  With external objects stuck to the body, considering Chu Ping's current cultivation, his own strength is still not enough to support himself. If he insists on being obsessed with external objects, it will be like trying to catch fish by climbing a tree or buying a box and returning the pearl!

  Gu Teng and Lin Tianfang also slowly stood up, Gu Teng fiddling with the bright pearl in his hand, a hint of relief on his face. "I didn't expect this trip to be so perilous, no matter how much I calculated, I never expected Medusa at the end of the strong crossbow to still be so powerful! Fortunately, heaven blessed us and our wishes were fulfilled!"

  Lin Tian let out a cold laugh, "What heavenly protection? You should be thanking your disciple and this young brother. If it weren't for the two of them, you and I would both be buried here today!"

  Ling Xuzi and Chu Ping said in unison, "We dare not."

  Gu Teng's face revealed a hint of a smile, "Ling Xiao is my disciple, so be it. But this Brother Chu has been dragged in for no reason and should be thanked instead."

  Lin Tian swung his hands, and the Golden Wings and Iron Fists that were floating in mid-air simultaneously fell into his grasp. A faint glow flowed across their surface like flowing water, and as he whispered softly to himself, a powerful ripple emanated from his hands. Although the force was not great, the atmosphere was profound and mysterious, seeming to contain countless grand dao of heaven and earth.

  A burst of intense light flashed, and the flowing light on Tie's hand and Jin's wings suddenly exploded like fire, then disappeared. In an instant, it had erased Medusa's mark.

  "These two are also good magical instruments. Your master only needs that Golden Light, and I don't need it either. You two can take one each and split them up!"

  The two were overjoyed. Chu Ping practiced Buddhist hand seals, and his handwork was extremely impressive, but flying in mid-air wasn't anything special. Shu Shan Jian Xiu, with his swordsmanship, could fly in the air, unparalleled in the world. After discussing it, Chu Ping took the Golden Wings, while Ling Xiaozi got the Iron Hand!

  Lin Tianfang looked at the dilapidated and crumbling cave, his face pale but his expression extremely relaxed. As soon as he came out of the cave, he heard a loud rumbling sound behind him, smoke and dust filled the air, and a large section of the cave had been flattened!

  "After thousands of years of guarding, it's finally fulfilled in my generation!"

  Lin Tian walked away with a loud laugh, shaking his clothes!

  Gu Teng looked at Chu Ping's distracted eyes, sighed and said to Ling Xuzi, "Xu'er, Master is going back to the mountain. Your current cultivation is already top-notch among the younger generation, and you can be considered a top existence. If there's nothing else, stay in this world for more experience and temper your sword heart!"

  Ling Xiaozi nodded in agreement, Gu Teng smiled and bowed his head, a seven-colored aura condensed around him, it was the Seven Repair Divine Sword, combined into a huge Taiji disk, floating away.

  Jian Gu Tang went far away, Ling Xiaozi turned around and smiled at Chu Ping, saying, "Chu Shidi is young, but his cultivation is surprisingly exquisite. In five years, it will be the Hundred Years' Grand Assembly of Taoist Dharma, and by then, you will surely make a big splash!"

  "What is the way of the world and the law?"

  "Chu Shi-di, don't you know? In the Cultivation Realm, every hundred years there will be a Conference of Dao Discussion. All cultivators from all sects and schools, whether from Zhongtu Shen Zhou or overseas, will participate! Such a conference is actually the best care for young generations like us. The debate on Dao and the competition of magical techniques, if we can rank among the top ten in the end, there will be rewards from various major sects. It's a way to promote outstanding disciples and revitalize Chinese cultivation!"

  Chu Ping smiled and shook his head, "I don't know about that, but I've heard that the sword cultivators of Shu Mountain are unmatched in battle. Among the various cultivation methods, there are countless types such as Qi refinement, Zen refinement, Martial refinement, Curse refinement, Tao refinement, and Sword refinement... However, among them, Sword refinement has the strongest combat power, far surpassing others. I don't dare to have any illusions! Let alone you, Ling Xū Shīxiōng, your cultivation is so profound that you can already break through the six layers of sword intent of Shu Mountain, which is equivalent to the late stage of Yuan Ying, and will soon be able to divide your spirit... how can I compare to that?"

  Ling Xiaozi smiled brightly, but with a hint of heroic ambition. "Brother Chu, why be overly modest? In the secular world, there's a saying that 'fists fear youth', and it's the same in the cultivation world! Although cultivators have long lifespans, the first hundred years are when their spiritual energy is most concentrated. If one can't achieve anything before then, it's unlikely they'll make great strides later on. The higher the cultivation realm, the more difficult it becomes. Take our Shu Mountain for example - if one can comprehend the first six layers of sword intent before the age of a hundred, although it's rare, it's not particularly remarkable. The last three layers of sword intent are the true essence of the path, and usually require hundreds of years of effort to comprehend. That's just how it is!"

  "Moreover, the Jianxiu sect is not the only one that is famous for its swordsmanship, and it's not just Mount Shu that has a reputation for producing skilled swordsmen!"

  "Huh?" Chu Ping was slightly surprised, "I've only been cultivating for a short time and don't understand many things, but the Shu Mountain Sword Sect is unparalleled in the world. Could it be that there's another sect that can rival us?"

  Ling Xiaozi smiled, "There are countless sects that use flying swords as their magical instruments, but in reality, only three can be considered true sword cultivators! Those are Kunlun, Shu Mountain and Penglai!"

  "Kunlun? Penglai?"

  "Not bad, Kunlun has always been the leader in cultivating immortals for the world. The family is large and prosperous, and it's also one of the oldest sects. There are countless methods to cultivate within the sect! And Kunlun has four major branches: Lingfeng Peak, Xuanguan Hall, Kunlun Palace, and Tiandu City. Among them, Lingfeng Peak is a sword-cultivating sect!"

  "The remaining three veins, Kunlun Palace is the orthodox of Kunlun, the source of Taoism. Xuan Pu Tang is famous for refining elixirs and making medicines, Tian Ying City is the gate of refining instruments. In Xiuzhen Realm, there is a sentence that has been passed down, called 'Jing Zhi Que Guang, Qiong Hua Zhi Shi, Bi Yu Zhi Tang, Zi Cui Dan Fang, Jin Yun Zhu Ri, Zhu Xia Jiu Guang!' It refers to Luan Feng Dian, Xuan Pu Tang and Tian Ying City!"

  By this time, Chu Ping's heart was already shocked beyond comprehension!

  Kunlun Major Faction, the number one in the world for cultivating truth, no matter what, Chu Ping didn't expect to have such great strength!

  When I first entered Wusong Temple, I saw the continuous temple buildings and white pagodas, mountains and hills, and my heart was already in awe of a paradise on earth, a fairyland among men. But unexpectedly, the Kunlun School, just one branch of the four veins, can far surpass Wusong Temple!

  "What about Penglai?" Chu Ping's voice was a little hoarse as he asked.

  "Penglai is a major sect overseas, mysterious and unpredictable, I don't know how many, but Penglai's status abroad is equivalent to Kunlun in the Divine State! The disciples under the door are either skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, or proficient in axe-making, goldwork, or medicine, almost covering all categories of cultivation, really astonishing!"

  Jian Chu Ping's face was shocked, and Ling Xuzi smiled and said, "Although so, but Kunlun, Shu Mountain, Penglai swordsmanship is quite different! Kunlun sword intent, mostly condensed and dignified, avoiding the world to cultivate, like Kunlun towering, sword momentum thick and heavy. And Penglai sword intent, it is elegant and free-spirited, outstanding and not in groups, like a fluttering young master, condensing three thousand red dust to temper the sword heart but not worldly intentions. My Shu Mountain emphasizes fierce and sharp, invincible, three schools of swordsmanship, each has its own strengths, greatly different!"

  At this point, Ling Xuzi smiled again, "Five years later, the Tianxia Dao Fa Conference, you will naturally see it. The various schools and factions, the true secrets of Xiuzhen are like the stars in the sky, countless, each with its own wonders!"

  In Chu Ping's mind, the magnificent scene of millions of cultivators flying in the air, colorful lights shining brightly, discussing Tao and competing with each other under the nine heavens and between the six harmonies, emerged involuntarily, and a wave of hot blood surged up.

  Ling Xuzi muttered to himself, "In five years, after five years, I will be able to see what kind of magical powers the various sects in the world have! Heh heh, no matter how many skills you have, I can break them all with just one sword!"

  "Chu Shi Di, we'll meet again someday! In these five years, I will work hard to perfect my sixth-level sword intent and approach the realm of dividing spirits. The world is vast, with countless breathtaking views and exceptional talents in every sect and school. Haha, just thinking about it gets me excited!"

  The Frost Divine Light Sword revolved around Ling Xuzi's side, then transformed into a streak of white light that was trampled underfoot by Ling Xuzi and disappeared into the air.

  "Sixfold sword intent! What a big tone, what great confidence!"

  Chu Ping stood in the mountains, facing the scorching mountain wind, and was lost in thought once again.

  "In five years, the realm of prajna! The world's talents gather, a grand conference on the Tao!"

  As he walked back down from the mountain to the village, when passing by the village entrance, Chu Ping suddenly found that Lin Tianfang had gone somewhere unknown, and the stone house stood tall but was empty!

  Arriving at the residence, Chu Ping's left hand ring shone brightly, and twelve people fell out one after another, still in a deep sleep. Chu Ping moved his ten fingers, unblocking several people's acupoints, and sat blankly in the courtyard.

  After more than ten minutes, there was a slight movement in the house, and then someone came out. It was Xu Jing!

  Surprisingly, Xu Jing didn't ask what had happened and walked out of the stone house to sit beside Chu Ping. Seeing him frowning in thought, she also didn't speak, quietly gazing at the white clouds in the sky.

  Another half hour passed, and the people in the house woke up one after another. Then there was a burst of "wow" cries, and a group of people rushed out of the house to see Chu Ping and Xu Jing sitting quietly, asking each other what had happened!

  Zhu Ping only explained that it was a landslide, and the crowd fell asleep. It was an old man at the village entrance who discovered that they had been carried down the mountain. The crowd returned to the mountain again, saw the collapsed cave, and although their hearts were still in turmoil, they finally believed.

  They stayed in the village for another two days, and everyone went through the mountain range behind, and some people even caught two wild rabbits. After a hearty meal, they were full of enthusiasm and finally retreated from here and set foot on their way home.

  It turned out that Xu Jingjia was also from Jiangbei City, and everyone went back the same way. Carrying a pile of luggage, they walked along the mountain road and arrived at the station in the county town!

  It's so pathetic, just give up collecting it!!!
