Chapter 274: Li Ping's Sword Mastery 8
Chapter 274: Li Ping's Sword Mastery 8
Seeing that Yaoyue's expression was not right, the girls put down the manuals they were holding, took the Holy Spirit Sword Technique, and looked through it together. After they finished reading it, they were all sweating profusely.
They certainly didn't learn it after just one look, but they all recognized the power of the sword technique.
Previously, Li Ping only said that Di Shitian was very strong, even able to withstand an attack that could split a mountain, but that was still too abstract.
After reviewing the Sword Saint's Holy Spirit Sword Technique, they finally realized just how powerful Emperor Shitian was.
With just a few pointers from Wuming, his disciple was able to defeat the Sword Saint who had mastered the Twenty-Two Swords Technique. Wuming's swordsmanship had reached a level they could not even imagine.
Even with the combined might of this nameless individual and two other top experts, they were still no match for Emperor Shitian!
Just how powerful was Indra?
What kind of desperate situation did Li Ping face at that time?
Huang Rong lowered her head. Li Ping was facing increasingly terrifying enemies, and she had to help him become stronger.
But what should I do?
Su Ying wants to develop some new drugs.
She hasn't developed anything new in a long time, but the enemies Li Ping is facing are getting stronger and more terrifying.
She wanted to forge a powerful... This will allow Li Ping to use medicine to defeat such a master next time he encounters one.
Yaoyue remained silent. If we encounter such an enemy, even my supernatural powers won't be able to help Li Ping. What should I do?
Looking at their expressions, Li Ping finally realized that something was wrong.
I felt a little regretful. I should have told them what happened back then, making them worry unnecessarily!
He laughed and said, "What are you worried about? Even if Di Shitian is strong, I still have Jiutian Ni Chang. If I can't beat him, can't I at least run away?"
He made no mention of Indra's supersonic ascension to immortality.
Hearing this, the girls' expressions softened, and they continued to peruse the martial arts manuals that Li Ping had brought back, discussing and learning from each other.
The Six Secrets of Aohan, Cloud-Dispelling Palm, Wind God Leg, and Heavenly Frost Fist are easy to learn but difficult to master, and each has its own corresponding internal energy cultivation method that requires time to hone.
However, it's unlikely that any of them could master the Wind God Leg and Cloud Dispelling Palm techniques to the level of Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun.
These two techniques are a perfect match for a destiny of great fortune.
The Holy Spirit Sword Technique is just a sword technique; it doesn't have a corresponding internal energy cultivation method. It should be easy to learn quickly, but Li Ping's progress is the slowest. However, Li Ping is not in a hurry.
In pursuit of the ultimate swordsmanship, the Sword Saint consumed the Seven Lifetimes of Oblivion, erasing all emotions and desires. Later, he also consumed Half Heart, which enabled him to create the Holy Spirit Sword Technique, which was inherently difficult.
Li Ping was very aware of his own comprehension abilities.
Finally, the third day arrived.
Huang Rong said, "Recently, I've been sorting out martial arts, classifying them into different branches from different times, and I've discovered some interesting things."
"My own branch of time focuses on cultivating internal strength, various moves, and techniques for channeling energy."
"While I do use this kind of analogy, it refers to the effect you want to convey through martial arts."
"For example, if you can grasp the essence of the Tai Chi Chuan that Master Zhang demonstrated, you can break free from fixed moves and make every gesture conform to the changes of Yin and Yang in Tai Chi."
"In the timeline where Sister Yaoyue and the others lived, martial arts had already incorporated the application of spirit and will."
"Although God and Will have not developed into a system, they are already the key to victory in battle and have a substantial impact on the real world."
"The timeline in which Li Chenzhou and the others lived was roughly the same."
"In the timeline where Qin Mengyao and Pang Ban lived, they valued not only internal strength and skills, but also spirit and will, and had developed a mature system."
"But they focus more on the level of life, or more precisely, the transformation of the soul, like the Cihang Sword Manual and the Dao Heart Demon Seed Great Method."
"The power manifested after successfully mastering the technique is, in fact, a byproduct..."
"The martial arts of the Fengyun world also have a very deep development of the spirit and will, but they do not pursue spiritual improvement or leaps in the level of life."
"What we pursue is power itself."
That makes a lot of sense, but Li Ping was somewhat bewildered: "Indeed, it's a good summary, but..."
The next chapter is even more exciting: Chapter 272: Li Ping Masters Sword Eighteen, we look forward to your visit.
Huang Rong said, "What I mean is, martial arts have now reached a crossroads in front of us."
"On one hand, they pursue an elevation of their spiritual level; on the other hand, they simply pursue immense power."
Li Ping said, "Can't we have them all?"
Huang Rong laughed: "I knew you'd say that, but for me right now, it's too difficult!"
"However, I've thought of a way to help you master Sword Eighteen!"
Li Ping was stunned. Sword Eighteen?
I haven't even mastered Kenpachi yet!
Huang Rong said, "Sword Eighteen is the final sword of the Sentimental Sword Dao. It uses emotion to enter the sword, and it is endless in threes and infinite in sixes, taking the meaning of infinity."
"The Flowing Shadow Splitting Light Sword is derived from the True Martial Seven Intercept Formation. Yin and Yang interact, the sword manifests heaven and earth, and the sword intent is completely compatible."
Li Ping's eyebrows were practically locked up; it was a perfect fit.
How come I didn't notice?
Huang Rong laughed, "I still remember your True Qi Field and True Qi Domain!"
Li Ping was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: "You've combined them?"
"However, Xi Ying's Purple Qi Heavenly Net and Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique, the Sword Qi Yangtze River of the Sword Canon, and Sword Eighteen gave me great inspiration."
"By fusing true qi field with swordsmanship, one can transform the sword intent from illusory to real."
"Not following the path of controlling the sword with emotion doesn't essentially qualify it as Sword Eighteen, but it achieves the same effect!"
Li Ping was overjoyed. After listening to Huang Rong's explanation of the method, the two went to the training ground.
Li Ping let out a clear whistle, and the longsword instantly exploded in his hand, turning into countless sword lights, and his true energy field instantly expanded.
It turns out that his force field, combined with his sword intent, can give people the feeling of being cut and pierced by sword energy.
Just like the Heavenly Demon Force Field pulls on other people's true energy, combined with the influence of intention, it gives people the feeling of falling into the Heavenly Demon Force Field.
But this time, the sword intent directly drew upon the primordial energy of heaven and earth, forming endless sword light that transformed into a dense, towering net of swords.
It looks so much like the Holy Spirit Sword Technique Eighteen!
The five guardians of the Search God Palace, along with a group of disciples, were completely dumbfounded!
What kind of sword technique is this?
Li Ping was overjoyed, thinking that his sword strike was probably comparable to Qin Mengyao's sword strike in the forest back then.
That sword strike was so stunning that Li Ping still remembers it vividly.
It's like the sword energy flowing across the Yangtze River!
Originally, it could only be used after refining the spirit and returning to emptiness, but now, I have only refined my qi and transformed my spirit, and I have actually used a similar sword!
Rong'er is too strong!
Then, Li Ping unleashed a flash of sword light, enveloping all five guardians, and began sparring with them.
Almost in the same timeline as before, Qin Mengyao fought against the Four Secret Venerables all by herself.
Huang Rong sighed inwardly. It was just a clumsy imitation, but it was the only result she had achieved in the past few days.
She wanted to improve Li Ping's Four Symbols Reincarnation Technique, replacing the original Xuanming Divine Palm with the Six Secrets of Aohan.
But she spent so much time creating the Four Symbols Reincarnation Technique back then, and it's not something that can be changed so easily now.
The Holy Spirit Sword Technique is even more difficult. Li Ping said that above Sword Twenty-Two, there is an even more terrifying Sword Twenty-Three, which is no longer a sword technique of the mortal realm.
According to Li Ping's description, it was as if the sword intent directly affected reality, as if it solidified space. Therefore, the sword intent of the Holy Spirit Sword Technique is the key, while the sword moves are just minor details.
This sword intent has been altered by himself to be ambiguous, so Li Ping will never be able to comprehend the Twenty-Three Sword Techniques.
Furthermore, the Heavenly Frost Fist, Cloud Dispelling Palm, and Wind God Leg can all fuse three parts of Yuan Qi...
And then there's the most difficult Dao Heart Demon Seed Cultivation Technique, which, in her opinion, is even harder to master than the Holy Spirit Sword Technique...
And all the martial arts skills Li Ping acquired can't be wasted...
Furthermore, after Li Ping's true qi changed in nature, there should be a more suitable martial art, and the subsequent evolution of true qi's nature should be deduced...
Aside from awakening her "wisdom" once more, Huang Rong felt that she would never be able to sort out all these techniques in her lifetime and help Li Ping integrate them into a martial art that fully combined all these essences and was suitable for him.
But what exactly are the conditions for the awakening of "wisdom"?
This is the second time already, and she still has no clue.
