The Path Toward Heaven

Jing Jiu practiced swords in this life, it can be said that he sailed along the water, went forward without hesitation, and swallowed mountains and rivers with arrogance.

After breaking through the relatively difficult state of embracing the gods, which can only depend on time, if he can keep doing this, Zhao Layue may not be able to enter the wandering state faster than him.

But before Chengyi Realm was completed and he was about to break through the realm and enter Wuzhang, he had already foreseen the problem.

So when to enter Wuzhang Realm, he hesitated for a long time, and traveled around the world with Zhao Layue for three years, but he never made up his mind.

It wasn't until Qingshan tried the sword that year, Liu Shisui's meridians were severed, and he was expelled from the mountain gate that he finally made a decision, and then proved that his guess was correct.

He did enter Wuzhang Realm smoothly, but the problem was that he couldn't put the flying sword into his body, so he could only wrap it in a cloth and carry it behind his back.

When Mei Huiqin was fighting, many ascetics were surprised to see the picture of him carrying a long sword. Tonglu had even mocked him, so they didn't know what he had to do.

Jing Jiu naturally understood the reason, but he never imagined that this problem would become a real big trouble if he wanted to break into the wild world.

Entering the Wild Realm from Wuzhang Realm requires a more abundant sword essence and a more peaceful Taoist heart. The most important thing is that the ascetic needs to attach the soul to the sword pill and raise it with the flying sword until the mind is truly connected and the spirit gradually emerges—this is the legendary sword ghost.

The current meaning of You Ye Jing refers to the fact that such realms can move hundreds of miles with the sword, and monks can easily travel around the wilderness with a sword. But in fact, at the beginning, the You Ye Jing meant that the sword ghost of the Taoist can leave the body, driven by the sword, and wander freely in the wild.

Sword ghosts are also known as sword demons and sword spirits in some sects. They can completely carry the soul of a practitioner. It can be said to be the second incarnation, just like the Yuanying of the Taoist Xuanzong.

The Nascent Soul of Taoist Xuanzong is the most secretive existence of Taoists, and the same is true for Sword Demon.

Compared with the ascetic himself, the sword ghost is very weak and easily hurt.

Of course, as the cultivator's realm improves, the sword ghost will become more and more powerful and less likely to be destroyed. If the cultivator becomes a giant in the heaven-reaching realm, the sword intent brought by the sword ghost can even be as sharp as the real thing, almost equivalent to the innate invisible sword body!

In addition to the ascetic's own realm, whether the sword ghost is strong or not is also closely related to the material of the flying sword.

Of course, it is easier for a fairy-level flying sword to give birth to a powerful sword ghost.

Moreover, the sword ghost is the soul of the ascetic and Feijian, once born, the ascetic and Feijian will be hard to separate.

Therefore, if a cultivator wants to replace the original flying sword with a higher-level flying sword, it is best to complete it before entering the wild world.

When Zhao Layue broke through the realm and entered the wild, although Furth Sword was not by his side, it had already recognized its master, and its sword intent was everywhere in Shenmo Peak.

Of course, Zhao Layue could still successfully become a sword ghost under such circumstances. I have to say that her years of hard work on the sword peak are the real foundation.

She has an acquired invisible sword body, so it is more convenient for her to become a sword ghost than other sword practitioners.

Jing Jiu's situation was even more troublesome.

He didn't think about changing the sword.

The initial class of the iron sword left by Mo Xianshi is indeed not high, but he has practiced swords for two lifetimes, and he knows very well the truth that swords follow others.

It's just that he can't put the iron sword into the sword pill now, how can he nourish it with his soul? How to generate Sword Demon?

The problem has been determined, what he has to do now is to find a way to put this iron sword into his body.

After more than ten days of meditation, he came up with more than seventy ways to use the sword to recognize the evolution of various things, but all of them failed in the end.

Back then in the small mountain village where the Liu family was located, he spent a year deducing and calculating many things, but this was the only thing he didn't calculate.

Because he never thought that there was a problem with his practice, but he had a problem with it.

This fact made him a little embarrassed.

He looked at the iron sword in front of him, was silent for a long time, and suddenly opened his mouth.

Fortunately, he soon came to his senses, feeling so ridiculous, thinking that he is not a mortal who plays acrobatics, what is he thinking about swallowing swords!

...

...

After repeated failures, Jing Jiu has confirmed that the way of swordsmanship he cultivated in this life is different from that of the Qingshan School and even all the sword schools in Chaotian Continent.

He has to take a completely different path.

As days passed, he made a decision.

This time, he no longer tried to recall the iron sword back into his body to nourish it with his soul, but used the secret method of leaving the soul of the Blood Demon Cult to pull the soul out of his body.

In this situation, even if it is an evil technique, he still has to try it.

He hadn't reached the Wilderness Realm yet, logically speaking his soul should be very weak and couldn't leave his body at all, but because his spirit and sword sense were too strong, his soul really floated out, it looked like a ghostly fire born out of paper, rising and falling in the air with the wind.

Jing Jiu looked at the fire and remained silent.

The fiery soul slowly floated onto the iron sword, making a chirping sound, like a drop of water falling into a charcoal stove.

Jing Jiu thought without hesitation.

The soul returned to his body as quickly as possible.

But it's still too late.

A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth and fell on the stone wall.

All the damage encountered by the soul will be without delay, without weakening, and will even be magnified countless times and directly act on the consciousness.

For just a moment, he felt more terrible pain than Ling Chi, and his face turned pale.

But even in this extremely dangerous and painful situation, he still didn't make a sound, his eyes were still so calm.

He closed his eyes and began to adjust his breath, confirming that the soul was only slightly weak and there was nothing serious about it.

After dozens of breaths, he opened his eyes and looked at the mottled bloodstains on the stone wall, feeling a little worried.

This is not the first time he bleeds. He also bleeds when Qingshan tried his sword and broke Nanshan's Blue Sea sword.

He wasn't worried about Fang Jingtian.

When he chose to go back to Qingshan to practice again, besides convenience, the more important reason was safety.

Liu Ci and Yuan Qijing are both here, it is impossible to watch him have an accident.

The problem is that it seems that even Liu Ci and Yuan Qijing can't solve the problems he encountered in practice. What should we do?

...

...

In the distant Guocheng Temple, Liu Shisui also faced a problem similar to Jing Jiu's.

He has no experience in practicing Buddhism, and he has not even touched the knowledge of Zen.

Back then Jing Jiu taught him to read for a year. If it hadn't been for Xi Wangsun who taught him for a while later, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to understand this scripture now.

Of course, even if he could understand the literal meaning of this scripture, he still couldn't understand the true meaning.

He kept thinking about that scripture day and night, getting more and more anxious, and his hair was about to fall out.

Xiao He is very worried whether he will really become a monk if he continues like this.

Time passed day by day like this.

Deep winter has come, the Yellow Temple is covered with snow, and Liu Shisui still has no progress.

One day, he suddenly felt that the true essence in his body was faintly stirring, knowing that it was about to explode, his expression was a little dignified.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao He said: How about... I go and secretly bring a monk back?

Liu Shisui was so shocked that he couldn't speak, as if he had just swallowed a sword alive.
