Chapter 4 The Way of Heavenly Sword

Ding Chenyi took Ding Shenzhao and continued to penetrate deeper in the dark and humid sea of ​​trees. Between the dense roots and grasses, the former's voice clearly and vividly transmitted to the latter's ears.

The pair of grass-carving rings I gave you were the magic weapon that I used the technique of "planting swords and raising swords" to pour into the "sword soul" and "sword soul". As long as you take them, I can sense your situation no matter where you go, but this connection was interrupted a few days ago. At that time, I knew that something must have happened to you. Later, your friend... Jun Tianxie came to the tree sea to find me. After he left, a man who called himself "Yan Huang" Jun Tianxie also came. His martial arts skills were very high. He was the highest person I had seen in the past century! We fought for a fight, but because both sides were concerned, I could not decide the outcome. From the mouths of the father and son, I indirectly got some of your situation. That was the first time I hated that I had gone a step further because of the practice of "Ascending in the Sun", so that I could not leave this tree sea and could not go out to save you!

Ding Shenzhao felt excited when he heard this. Ding Chenyi's concern for him was beyond words. Even the real father and son were just like this.

Ding Shenzhao lowered his head in shame, unwilling to let Ding Chenyi see his expression at this moment

It was the child who was incompetent and could not save your carefully forged weapon, and he also worried about it.

Ding Chen Yichang smiled and said: If the weapon is lost, it will be lost! In fact, the purpose of my first message to you was just that you were not capable enough to protect yourself. One more pair of weapons will always have more protection. When the martial arts progresses to a certain level, you will understand that magical weapons are just external objects after all. The result of relying too much on external objects will only lead to stagnation in cultivation. If you lose the grass and tie ring, it is not a bad thing for you.

Looking at Ding Chenyi's back as tall as a pine and cypress mountain, Ding Shenzhao felt infinite admiration in his heart. That was a truth that could only be understood when the martial arts level reached the former level. It could only be understood but not conveyed.

Ding Chenyi suddenly turned around, shining as bright as the brightest eyes in the Milky Way night sky, and shining brightly, like two sharp arrows to meet Ding Shenzhao's eyes, and his face was as quiet as the dead water of the ancient well.

Do you know what is the way to use a sword?

Ding Shenzhao was stunned when she heard this, pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said: I have never thought about this problem. For me, the method of using a sword is how to knock down the opponent, and there is no need to consider anything else.

Ding Chenyi smiled and said: Concentrating on one mind is to concentrate on the gods. The child's cultivation has reached the realm of having a sword in his hand, no sword in his heart, and all things in the world are not bound by a sword. Only then can he say this, but he is still one step away from it to reach the "Sword Saint" of the Heart is the Heart. To reach the level of father, all things can be swords, and all things are swords. There is still a long and difficult road to go.

After a few words, Ding Shenzhao was fascinated by the fact that before, he had never thought that the way of using a sword was so profound. Until today, Ding Chenyi opened another door for him.

What is the Heavenly Sword?

Ding Chenyi looked up at the sky and laughed, his eyes flashed with divine lights and said happily: I am afraid that I can really answer you in this question, but the way of the Heavenly Sword is unspeakable. The Tao can be told, and it is extraordinary. From the process of "sword master" to "sword master", you can rely on hard practice. However, if you want to break through to "sword god", there is no other way except enlightenment!

Ding Shenzhao was stunned: If you can't tell me the truth, how can you teach me the Dharma?

Ding Chenyi smiled and said: It cannot be said to me, but it can be understood.

When Ding Shenzhao was about to ask further what he meant, Ding Chenyi's eyes suddenly had a huge ray of lightning, and an irresistible momentum like a storm surged from him. The sound was not loud, but it was as exciting as thunder. He said: God and intention, intention and heaven, and the power of heaven are used by me. This is the "Sword of Heaven"! Just like this sword!

Ding Chenyi suddenly fired a sword with empty hands, his sword palm pointed straight to the sky, and the sword energy shot into the sky. Once the fallen leaves and trunks around him touched the sword light, they were instantly shattered into pieces!

The sword energy radiates in a crown with him as the center, and towering ancient trees pour out one by one. Even the thick dark clouds that never dissipate all year round made the sword energy a gap, causing a dawn to appear at the bottom of the tree sea that has not seen the sun for a hundred years.

Ding Shenzhao was so proud that his eyes were dazzling, his qi and blood were rippling, and he could not do so for a long time. The sword that was combined with the energy of heaven and earth actually had such supreme power!

When will I practice this magical martial art?

Ding Chenyi seemed to know Ding Shen looked at him according to his thoughts at this moment, and smiled and said: "Don't be surprised by the sword force of being a father. One day, your achievements should be above the father."

Ding Shenzhao frowned slightly when he heard this, he hesitated for a moment before speaking: Since my father's cultivation is so profound, why do he have to be in this sea of ​​trees that have never seen the light of the sky for many years, and not to go out to fight for the world?

Ding Chenyi smiled slightly and said: Fight for the world? I gave up this boring idea as a father a hundred years ago.

He looked up at the sky and showed a look of remembrance and said lightly: I used one sword and one sword to defeat all the heroes in the world. Although I won the reputation of the world's number one master, my martial arts cultivation has been in no place since then. I wanted to find an enemy but could not get it. After repeated thinking, I finally realized that the human and enemy were no longer able to stand. If I want to go to the next level, I had to be an enemy of heaven!

I then made up my mind to put aside everything and live in seclusion in this rare sea of ​​trees. I should only be one step away from pursuing the way of heaven and man. I would reach the realm of the Taoist saying that the body ascends in the daytime and breaks the void and leaves! However, because of a difficult knot in my heart, not only did it fail, but the blood and blood would go out of trouble and almost die. Although I finally saved my life, my body changed suddenly. During the process of fusion with the vital energy of heaven and earth, because of the inhalation of a large amount of earth spirit energy from the sea of ​​trees, my meridians would automatically combine with the roots of the stretched underground, and I became a half-human and half-tree 'alien'!

A bitter smile appeared on my face, and Ding Chenyi continued: Because the meridians and the roots of the tree, I no longer need to drink water and eat. I have truly entered the state of "fasting" as the immortals said. Moreover, my physiological functions have become as slow as plants. Even if I am injured, they can automatically recover in a short period of time. It is almost half an immortal body, which is the real reason why I can survive in the sea of ​​trees for more than two hundred years. However, such a body has a big disadvantage. I cannot survive outside the sea of ​​trees. Once I leave this place, I will age and die within a few days.

Ding Shenzhao was speechless when she heard it. It sounded absurd to others, but it was a word of blood and tears in Ding Chenyi's mouth. Such an eternal way of torture!

This is the hell on earth that is truly worse than death

Ding Chenyi's expression did not change much, and his tone was not fast or slow, as if the earthly spirit transformed not only his meridians, but also his personality.

After living alone in Shuhai for so many years, I have thought about everything and seen it. If it weren't for the regrets I had for Yunniang that year, I would have been unable to go away, I would have already rescued myself from the return home. Until that day, I met you in the sea of ​​trees. The inheritance of the blood ties made me immediately recognize you as my descendant. Perhaps after more than a hundred years of torture, God finally gave me a pity on me, an immortal person, so that we father and son could reunite.

Ding Shenzhao was moved when she heard this. Ding Chenyi's care for him was indeed out of his supreme nature, and that was something that he could not pretend to be able to come.

Ding Shenzhao suddenly felt aroused in his heart and asked: Dad, you just said that you had fought with Jun Tianxie's father, "Yan Huang", Jun Nitian. What was the process of that battle?

Although he had never seen Jun Nitian take action himself, his natural extraordinary eyesight could intuitively sense the other party's cultivation level that transcends the world, just as he could see Jun Tianxie's reality at a glance. If Jun Tianxie's cultivation level is a pool of unfathomable depth, then Jun Nitian's cultivation level is a tornado that gallops in the sky and has the power to destroy everything!

Ding Chenyi snorted coldly, his eyes emitting a sword-like cold light

Jun Nitian's martial arts are indeed the only one I have seen in my life, but no one can beat your father in this sea of ​​trees! No matter how strong Jun Nitian is, I am sure to take his life within ten thousand moves, but I will inevitably suffer some internal injuries, and I cannot recover within ten years. That price is what I am unwilling to pay now. The other party has the same idea, and at the same time, there is no confidence in defeating me, so our battle ended almost before it even began.

Ding Shenzhao said movedly: It was for me that my father gave up the opportunity to compete with Jun Nitian...

Ding Chenyi smiled calmly and said: That's nothing. As long as everyone is still alive, there will always be a chance to compete. Yes! Where is your friend who is bullied by the scales? Why didn't he come with you this time?

Ding Shenzhao replied: He and I are taking action separately this time. He went to the Taishi family to check some data. I will go back to Shuhai to find you, hoping to break through your current cultivation level.

Ding Chenyi suddenly had a brilliant eye, and his eyes seemed to be about to bet on Ding Shenzhao's heart and said: It's time for you to recover your mind. Why didn't you expect to come to me before and change your mind now?

Ding Shenzhao was shocked and lowered his head dejectedly and said: As expected, nothing can be hidden from my father. I originally planned to take back the weapons from my enemy. Wuyan came back to see you, Dad, but after meeting a man who claimed to be the Shikigami of the "Six Path Realms", he defeated me and Tianxie with his own strength. This battle completely changed my shallow idea of ​​the frog in the well. In the world of warriors where the strong prey on the weak, only strength is the only rule of survival. To strive for progress in the shortest time, only come back and learn from your invincible father.

Ding Chenyi laughed to the sky and said: Invincible in the world! That's true, haha! He stopped laughing suddenly, his face was solemn, and he looked at Ding Shenzhao and said: These words were taught by your "good friend"?

Ding Shenzhao was stunned when he heard this: Dad, how could you know... Hey! When he found out that he had lost his words, he could not catch up with him.

Ding Chenyi smiled and shook his head without saying a word, but he was sighing secretly inside.

Alas! Silly kid, in terms of fighting scheming, there is a huge difference between you and Jun Tianxie. He dare not appear in front of me by himself, so he used your intention to protect your friends to create such a situation that I cannot refuse, and the result was also increasing the chips in his hands.

Should I warn him? But this child has unreserved trust in Jun Tianxie. Even if he is kind, he will probably be treated as a warning. Maybe he will think that I am just apart from their relationship! Let's not mention it for now.

Put on a gentle smile, Ding Chenyi said softly: Your friend is afraid that you are too thin-skinned. He obviously suffered a loss outside but didn't dare to come back to find my father. Then he turned a corner and deceived you, a wanderer, and also comforted me, the lonely old man, for the pain of missing his family.

Ding Shenzhao was still uneasy at first, but after hearing Ding Chenyi's words, he seemed to have a calm mind. He said embarrassedly: Actually, Tian Xie doesn't have to do this, I will definitely come back.

Ding Chenyi smiled slightly and said: When you are willing to come back, I don’t know what year or month you will have to wait? Wouldn’t my hair turn white by then?

For a person who has lived for nearly two hundred years, this statement is certainly a kind of self-deprecating, but it also uses this relaxed conversation to bring a lot of distance between the father and son. After chatting, Ding Chenyi began to teach Ding Shenzhao martial arts seriously.

The sword tricks you learned before were some of the sorting experiences I had placed with Yunniang before leaving her. They were the masterly reviewing every duel between life and death, the battle with life hanging on the line. The essence of the art of fighting the enemy that you learned was the first to take action. The prophets plan to save the enemy and kill the enemy. Once a sword is fired, there is no way to go back and there is no way to resist. This is the technique of "Sky Sword and Sword" that your father had persevered in the world and never met the enemy's opponents!

Ding Shenzhao was fascinated by the sound of his ancestors, who were both swords and swords, and was so envious and happy that he was invincible.

Ding Chenyi paused and said: Hey! In fact, this sword move and sword technique that was praised by others, and I am quite proud of myself. After I entered the sea of ​​trees to study the way of heaven and man, I realized that all I had realized in the past was the Moli Primary School. The martial arts path was like the sky, boundless, and the so-called invincible is the loneliest. The so-called invincible is the loftiest, competing with the sky, and the like is just bullshit!

Ding Shenzhao was surprised when he heard this. The warrior who had reached the level of Ding Chenyi's cultivation was no longer something that ordinary people could imagine and predict. However, even though he was mentally prepared and his concentration skills were far superior to ordinary people, he was still surprised by the latter's remarks.

Ding Chenyi looked at Ding Shenzhao, and said with a faint smile with a deep meaning: Everyone thinks that the "Sky Sword and Sword" is my unique skill of fame, and the essence of my martial arts is. However, for more than a hundred years of escaping from the world, he has already pushed my sword art to another higher level, which is what I will teach you today, "The Way of the Sky Sword, All Things are Swords"!

Ding Shenzhao murmured and said: The way of the heavenly sword, all things are swords...

Ding Chenyi suddenly stretched out his right palm and faced Ding Shenzhao, saying: "Palm sword is used to make a sword, and it is ultimate. Whether there is a weapon in his hand is no longer the point. As long as you have a sword in your heart, everything in the world can be a sword, and everything in the wind and grass can be a sword. I realized this sixty years ago.

With Ding Chenyi's explanation, near his arm, the blood vessels that seemed to be assimilated with the roots of a tree on the ground, with a strange green luster suddenly extended from the surface of his skin, like vines. These root objects were entangled and entangled, and gradually combined into an object that looked like a sword but not a sword, or a knife but not a knife. Although it looked abrupt and ugly, Ding Shenzhao could feel the sharpness of the world.

This is……?!

Feeling the child's surprise, Ding Chenyi smiled and said: There is a sword in his heart, and everything can be a sword, with essence, blood and flesh as the handle, and soul and spirit as the edge. This divine weapon that has been crafted in my body for a long time and was supplemented by the vast earth energy of the sea of ​​trees. I named it "Qiongroup"!

Ding Shenzhao was stunned and while still amazed, she couldn't help asking: Qiongcang... Is this magic weapon a sword? Or a knife?

With a hint of proud smile, Ding Chenyi slowly said: You can say it is a sword, or it can be said it is a knife. This "Qiong" contains the essence of your father's lifelong martial arts, and is the ultimate presentation of the sword-making technique, far better than the grass-rooted ring I made with the technique of "planting swords and raising swords" back then. If I had a battle with you against the heavens that day, I would leave all my concerns and use "Qionggglao". Within three hundred moves, I would have your friend's father's head landed!

Then he showed a complex meditation expression, saying like a dream: But I can also see that Jun Nitian has some reservations. If he tries his best to fight me, the victory or defeat will be unknown...

Ding Chenyi's plain tone was filled with deep respect, which made Ding Shenzhao feel incredible, and he was even more regretful for the thrilling battle he had not had the chance to bet on.

As a warrior, there should be at least one enemy like Jun Nitian in his life...

Ding Shenzhao made a secret wish in his heart, a wish that was higher than the sky, and a decision that would lead to the great significance of the future on his journey to become an extraordinary master in the future.

Ding Chenyi's zombie-like face flashed with a strange divine light, and the corner of his mouth was slightly pulled up. He was about to speak, but suddenly he showed an expression of listening attentively. After several blinks of his fingers, his eyes flashed with a sharp murderous intent like a sharp sword. He snorted coldly: There are still people who dare to break into the sea of ​​trees. I really don't know how to live or die!

Ding Chenyi suddenly took action and grabbed Ding Shenzhao's wrist. With a tone that would not allow the latter to refuse, he said coldly: The person who came has good martial arts skills, just as you can treat it as the target of your sword test. Come with me! From today on, you will be the official successor of Ding Chenyi, my "Tianjian Jue Dao". Within one year, I will want your martial arts cultivation to be transformed and make rapid progress! Become the new generation of invincible in the world!

Ding Shenzhao couldn't help but be pulled by Ding Chenyi. Before he could come back to his mind from the latter's surprise words, he suddenly remembered something

If the person who came was Jun Tianxie, what should he do?
