From dual spiritual roots to a sword master with all attributes
Chapter 73: Tongtian Palace, Dao Nian's Struggle
Fang Xiao was once again thankful for his original choice, thinking, "It is true that an old man in the family is like a treasure. The Grandmaster is really my old baby."
Shaking his head, he cleared away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and quickly followed Li Mobai's footsteps, walking towards the depths of the main hall.
As he went deeper, he gradually saw clearly that at the deepest part of the main hall was a two-meter-high platform.
He followed Li Mobai onto the platform, on which were placed dozens of cushions, and at the top were eight white jade lotus platforms, placed in the shape of a figure eight on both sides.
Behind the white jade lotus platform, at the end of the Taoist platform, stood a bronze stele with four large characters "The Way of the Sword Lives Forever" engraved on it.
Li Mobai's attention was on the bronze stele at this time, while Fang Xiao's eyes fell on the two lotus pedestals at the top.
There were two figures sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform, facing each other, seemingly talking about something.
Fang Xiao subconsciously looked at Li Mobai, but Li Mobai had disappeared beside him without him knowing when.
The discussion between the two people turned into an argument, and the voices became louder and louder, but Fang Xiao could not hear clearly what they were arguing about. Gradually, his consciousness began to become blurred and he fell into a sleep.
In the dream, Fang Xiao was unable to move or speak. He just depended on the two teenagers and could not control their will. He could only witness it as an outsider.
Witnessing the different backgrounds of these two young men, both were extremely talented and joined a sect called Taibai Sword Sect at the same time.
From the moment they entered the sect, the two of them were the most dazzling geniuses among their peers. They also regarded each other as their competitors, often fighting each other, with both sides winning and losing, and their relationship was like that of both enemies and friends.
After they had established their foundation, the two of them went out to travel. When they returned, they had all condensed their magical seeds and entered the false pill stage.
However, one of them had a change of character and was no longer keen on fighting. Instead, he closed the door and immersed himself in cultivation, and the relationship between the two gradually faded.
As the years passed, the two of them formed their elixirs and condensed their infants at the same time, and even reached spiritual enlightenment at the same time. Normally, it should have been a blessing for the sect to have two geniuses at the same time, but it planted the seeds of disaster.
The man whose mentality had changed drastically gradually lost his emotions and desires as his cultivation level improved, and seemed to have turned into a machine used only for cultivation.
The reason for this was that he obtained a set of skills when he was traveling to build his foundation, and he tried to practice it.
This set of skills is called "Taishangwangqingpian", which was created by a great demon who borrowed from Taishangganganpian of Taiqing Sect in Central Earth. It can bring practitioners closer to the right path, and the effect is to comprehensively improve a person's aptitude for practice and understanding.
The practice states that it will only make the practitioner emotionally indifferent, but in fact practicing this practice will make people gradually lose their seven emotions and six desires, leaving only the thought of practicing Taoism.
This will not affect others, but in order to break through to the peak of the Spirit Transformation Chapter, Tai Shang Wang Qing Chapter needs to meet a condition, which is to sever all his own shackles, so he must complete this before ascending.
This person no longer has any emotions, and in his eyes there is no distinction between good and evil. As long as he can achieve his goal, he will not hesitate even if it means killing the people closest to him.
His only tie in the world was the sect, so after achieving the state of incarnation, he began to make plans, influencing the younger disciples with his own Taoism, and gradually formed a new faction in the sect, which he named Tai Shang Dao. His philosophy was that in order to achieve the ultimate sword path, one must abandon all emotions.
Those who continue to adhere to the compassionate sword path are called Tongtiandao. They believe that without emotion, the sword path loses its meaning of existence. In the end, they have only transformed themselves from sword cultivators to just a sword.
The name Tongtiandao also comes from Taibai Main Hall, Lingbao - Tongtian Hall.
As the cultivation of the two reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, the sect was basically filled with their disciples. The dispute between the two paths also reached its peak. From the Qi training disciples to the Spirit Transformation True Lords, no one could escape.
Generally, if a sect's thoughts diverge, it may begin to split, but this person's goal is to destroy the sect, so he naturally won't allow it to split.
Eventually, internal strife broke out in the sect, and it intensified. Even the six True Lords of Transformation other than the two of them got involved, and eventually the sect's void was shattered. Even those who survived the fight were shattered by the cracks in space.
The two people who caused all this did not take any action. Instead, they decided to hold a Taoist duel inside the Tongtian Palace.
The purpose of Dao Jue is to resolve irreconcilable contradictions caused by different Dao thoughts. The process of Dao Jue is very dangerous. Although there is no competition of magic power and divine thoughts during the period, once the Dao thoughts are manifested, they will be entangled together and will continue until the winner is determined. The loser will be transformed into Dao on the spot.
On the plaque that Fang Xiao saw when he came, the three words "Tongtian Temple" were deliberately erased by this person, and the spirit of Tongtian Temple was also erased by him, meaning that there is no more Tongtian, no more Taibai in the world, only Taishang.
The battle between the two began from then on, but looking at their lives as a whole, it seemed that they were born rivals. They had been fighting since they first entered the sect, and their cultivation speeds were also equally matched.
Although there are wins and losses, just like the ebb and flow of the tide, everything has its destiny. Just like the two sides of yin and yang, when yin is strong and yang is weak, or when yang is strong and yin is weak, one rises while the other falls, and the cycle repeats itself.
The duel between the two lasted until their deaths, and no one was able to determine the winner.
What pulled Fang Xiao into this illusion was the regret of the two of them, just to see who was superior. It all depends on which side his swordsmanship leans more towards.
As a sentient being, how could Fang Xiao choose to abandon his emotions and follow the path of the Supreme Sword? There is no need to choose, as soon as the minds are together, the outcome is naturally determined.
"you lose."
"Am I defeated?"
Finally, Fang Xiao left the illusion with two voices coming from the dark.
When he woke up, Li Mobai was there checking on his condition.
"Wake up and check if there is anything wrong with you."
Hearing this, Fang Xiao immediately checked his own situation, and found no changes, except for one thing.
He found that his sword heart had become more condensed, and the light of his sword heart illuminated his body, even giving him an illusion that he would no longer be confused on his path in the future.
Fang Xiao understood that this was because his swordsmanship had greatly improved, which led to such performance. Of course, he should not be deceived by temporary strength. The road to seeking the truth was still very long, and his swordsmanship needed to be further honed.
And the gains were not only the improvement of his sword heart, but also his sword realm had taken a big step forward. He felt that with a period of precipitation, the third evolution of sword light would surely come naturally.
Then he stood up and said, "Thank you for your concern, Master. I am not in any danger."
Then he told Li Mobai in detail what he had seen and heard in the illusion, including the reason for the demise of the Taibai Sword Sect and the dispute between the two people.
"I didn't find out that it was like this. I also guessed that it might be an internal strife in the sect, but I didn't expect it to be a dispute over Dao thoughts. The dignified Taibai Sword Sect, the number one sword sect in ancient times, was destroyed in this way. It turns out that training younger disciples cannot only focus on cultivation talent, but also constantly sharpen their Dao hearts and guide them to the right path. Whether the sect will become strong or weak in the future depends on you."
"We have two great masters in charge of our sect, as well as all the elders and fellow disciples. As long as we are united in purpose and work together, we will be able to ensure that our Tianlan Sect will prosper and prosper forever."
When Fang Xiao heard Li Mobai's sigh, he also flattered him at the right time.
"You are good at talking, but I miscalculated just now. After all, I am not a sword cultivator. I didn't expect that just the remnant thoughts could force your consciousness to enter. Your consciousness is caught between two remnant thoughts, and I dare not act rashly. Fortunately, you are fine. The ancestor will compensate you after he gets out."
"Grandmaster, there is no need to do this. It is already a great grace that you can bring your disciple in to broaden his horizons. Besides, isn't it all right?"
Fang Xiao was very happy when he heard this, but he said nice words. If he could lick Li Mobai well, he would have another backer who could help him achieve the state of incarnation.
