Emperor Jiuyin

"Please ask Uncle Li for some advice."

Jian Wen thought to himself that he really didn't understand what he had done wrong. In terms of function and intention, no one in the Burying Sword Pavilion could compare with him. He is immersed in the world of swordsmanship and can reach a state where he forgets both things and himself and is not disturbed by the world. As for the study of swordsmanship, he is far superior to all the swordsmen in Nebula Continent. He had done the best he could, but now Li Hanxue suddenly told him that he was going astray. Jian Wenxin really couldn't understand what went wrong.

Li Hanxue said: "Wen Xin, you have always been pursuing the ultimate in swordsmanship. This is not wrong. Your assumption is that as long as you implement the ultimate in swordsmanship, you can lead to the ultimate in Tao, step into the half-emperor realm, and even become an emperor. "

"Isn't that true?" Jian Wenxin asked in surprise.

Li Hanxue said: "So the problem lies here."

Jian Wen said in his heart: "I heard that when my ancestor was buried in the sword pavilion when the Heavenly Emperor was buried, he entered Taoism with his sword. Not only did he eventually become an emperor, but he also entered the realm of the Heavenly Emperor in one fell swoop and became a rare living Heavenly Emperor in the history of Nebula Continent. I was there at the time. I thought that since my ancestors could enter the Tao with the sword and become a strong man in the realm of the Emperor of Heaven, it means that this path is feasible. I have been following the footsteps of my ancestors, hoping to understand the swordsmanship of my ancestors and finally become a master. A powerful emperor like our ancestors.”

Li Hanxue said: "Ask your heart, there is nothing wrong with pursuing the way of your ancestors, but you need to understand one thing. First of all, you are not the Burying Emperor..."

Jian Wenxin quickly said: "I know that I am not an ancestor, and I am not arrogant enough to think that I can compete with my ancestors. But I think that if I can implement my beliefs and perfect my swordsmanship, I will finally reach the ultimate state. , It’s definitely not much worse than our ancestors.”

Li Hanxue said: "The Buried Emperor has an innate sword body, and his physical body is in harmony with the sword. He was born for the sword. His understanding of the sword is higher than anyone else. This is something that no sword cultivator in your Buried Sword Pavilion can compare with." . If you insist on implementing your own swordsmanship, there will be a gap between you from the beginning. "

"Innate Sword Body..." Jian Wenxin heard the secret of the Buried Emperor for the first time.

"If you also have an innate sword body, you can take the path of burying the Emperor of Heaven, but you do not have such conditions innately. If you still insist on taking the path of burying the Emperor of Heaven, you will get twice the result with half the effort at best, or a complete failure at worst." Li Hanxue said.

Jian Wenxin was a little unconvinced: "Uncle Li, do you mean that if you don't have enough talent, you are destined to fail?"

Li Hanxue said: "You still don't understand what I mean. After all, there are only a few people with strong talents in this world. People like Emperor Burial who have innate sword bodies are even rarer. If we don't have these conditions, don't force yourself. Go ahead and take a path that is not suitable for you.”

"Then those of us who don't have such a powerful talent can't enter the Tao with the sword, and will we be unable to prove the Tao with the sword for the rest of our lives?" Jian Wen felt unwilling.

Li Hanxue said: "If you lack talent, you have to find ways to make up for it."

"How to make up for it?" Jian Wenxin asked. The first thing he thought of was to let his spiritual realm enter that ultimate state and complete the transformation of his life form through the transformation of his own state of mind.

But Jian Wenxin's idea was immediately fully rejected by Li Hanxue.

Li Hanxue said: "There are many methods, but the first thing is not to practice hard."

Jian Wenxin asked in surprise: "Besides practicing, is there any other way?"

Li Hanxue said: "When a road is really impassable, you can try to go around it. If there is a person with an innate sword body in Nebula Continent, you have to try to obtain his physique. If there is something in this world that you don't know If you want to achieve enlightenment and become an emperor, you should also learn to understand and try this unimagined path. Since swordsmanship cannot bring you to the realm of half-emperor, you must try other ways to achieve the same goal. Maybe the sword cannot. Once you enter the Tao, other methods will allow you to successfully enter the realm of the Emperor.”

Jian Wenxin just remained silent after hearing Li Hanxue's words. Although Li Hanxue was a strong person in the ancient emperor realm, Jian Wenxin could not agree with Li Hanxue's words at all. If these words did not come from Li Hanxue, Jian Wenxin would even refute them as evil.

"Why would Uncle Li say such things?" Jian Wenxin felt a little disappointed.

"Uncle Li, if the person with the innate sword body was your friend, would you still choose to rob his body?" Jian Wenxin asked.

Li Hanxue did not answer Jian Wenxin's question, but instead asked with a smile: "What if it were you?"

"Of course not!" Jian Wenxin said decisively.

Li Hanxue asked again: "If one day you have to plunder this person's innate sword body to enter the realm of the emperor, and only in this way can you save the Sword Burial Pavilion from fire and water, what will you choose to do?"

Jian Wenxin was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "It depends on the situation. If the moment of life and death really comes, then we can only sacrifice him. I can't let the Sword Burial Pavilion be destroyed in my hands. "

Li Hanxue showed a meaningful smile and asked: "But what if the person with the innate sword body is your mother? And once your mother's innate sword body is taken away, she will die immediately. What will you choose? ?”

When Jian Wenxin heard this, he immediately frowned: "It's impossible for such a thing to happen."

"I mean, if you are really asked to choose between the lives of tens of thousands of people in the Burial Sword Pavilion and the life of Qingluo, how would you choose?" Li Hanxue looked directly at Jian Wenxin, just as he did at Tongtian Plateau The clone of the Slayer King questioned Li Hanxue, as if no matter what choice he made, it would be wrong.

Jian Wen was silent. For him, Qing Luo's life was definitely better than anything else, but he could not openly give up the entire Burial Sword Pavilion. His self-esteem and the justice in his heart did not allow him to say or do this.

"Wen Xin, you haven't answered my question yet." Li Hanxue said.

Jian Wen thought: "Uncle Li, I don't want to answer this question."

Li Hanxue said: "I don't mean to make things difficult for you by asking you this, I just want you to know something. The higher the realm, the more you need to understand the way of balance. Like a sword, there is nothing wrong with being extremely sharp, either black or white, but extreme The sharpness can easily hurt others and yourself. Just like the question I asked you just now, if you choose your sword, it is an unsolvable problem, because in your heart, the edge of a sword will always be there. It can only be pointed in one direction. The point of the sword is destruction, and the direction of the hilt is protection. Therefore, your sword will definitely kill either Qingluo or Burial Sword Pavilion. But what Uncle Li wants to tell you today is. , you don’t have to kill one of them, you can choose to protect everyone.”

"But what Uncle Li just said, if you don't plunder the innate sword body and bury the sword pavilion, you will perish. If you plunder the innate sword body, my mother will die. This is the main premise." Jian Wen thought.

Li Hanxue said: "So you should try to find more powerful forces at this time to help you solve the predicament at hand. Those powerful ancient emperors and heavenly emperors should be the objects of your consideration. In your world, the balance has been completely broken. You are no longer able to maintain this balance, so you must use external forces to restore it.”

Jian Wenxin was silent, this was not the answer he wanted at all.

Li Hanxue smiled and said: "Asking my heart, do you think my answer is a bit ridiculous?"

Jian Wenxin said frankly: "I think if we were really faced with that kind of black and white choice, even Uncle Li wouldn't be able to maintain a balance, right?"

Li Hanxue said: "Actually, when I was just a Saint King, someone once asked me a similar question. At that time, he asked me to choose between the lives of millions of people and the life of my lover."

"What was Uncle Li's answer?" Jian Wenxin was very curious.

Li Hanxue smiled and said, "What do you think?"

"I think you should choose your own lover."

"Yes." Li Hanxue smiled, "Qing Xin, what if it were you?"

Jian Wenxin fell silent again.

Li Hanxue said: "But then he asked me another question. If I had to choose between the lives of my father and my lover, who would I choose?"

"Who to choose?" Jian Wen asked in his heart.

Li Hanxue said: "I didn't answer this time, just like you just now."

Jian Wen's heart was shaken. He couldn't say it just because of morality, but he had the answer in his heart. Between the lives of millions of people and the lives of his lover, Jian Wenxin will definitely choose the latter.

"What happened next?" Jian Wen asked in his mind.

Li Hanxue said: "I still didn't give the answer later, but Old Man Guxin gave the answer for me."

"What's the answer?"

"Choose your own lover."

"It seems that this lonely old man doesn't have much affection for his father."

"No, that's not the reason. He said that Xiaoya's weight in my heart is higher than that of my father, so he advised me to follow my heart and act according to my truest thoughts. Only in this way can I understand his suicide. Tao, this is his Tao." Li Hanxue said.

Jian Wenxin was thoughtful.

Li Hanxue continued: "Actually, there is no answer to this question. Everyone has his own answer in his heart. Although the answer I tell you sounds like a rogue, it is actually one of them, and in my opinion, it is also one of them. The best answer for you. You don't have to be too rigid about the sword in your heart. Try to change the black and white sword in your heart, try to accept things other than the sword, and try to balance the sword. Isn't it more challenging for you to conflict with other Taoisms? Isn't this the pursuit of a sharper sword? It's just that the edge of this sword is hidden and not visible."

Jianwen's sea of ​​consciousness roared like thunder, rolling incessantly. The impact of Li Hanxue's words on him was too great. Li Hanxue's words were like a giant sword striking his soul hard, making all the hidden pride in his heart completely defeated!

Jian Wen said in his heart: "Uncle Li, I understand. It turns out that all this is because of my ignorant and ridiculous conceitedness. It seems that I am bravely advancing and selflessly pursuing the ultimate sword, but in fact I am just escaping from more choices and possible."
