Chapter 3, Guidance
Guang Chengzi felt a subtle shift in his heart as he fixed his gaze on Lin An and asked, "Are these words from our master, or are they your own thoughts, senior brother?"
This is ... ...
From the boundless emerges existence, the mechanism of movement and stillness, the mother of yin and yang... Movement represents yang, stillness represents yin, and the harmony of movement and stillness...
Lin An smiled as he looked at Chi Jingzi, "Junior brother, what do you think of this sword?"
One's own spiritual treasure actually listens to others
Lin An's sword has already touched the threshold of the small world
Lin An smiled and said: "The Master has bestowed upon you the dual swords of male and female, as well as the Water and Fire Blades, not only because of your innate talent in the way of the sword but also to harness the spirit of the sword to help you refine your sword intent. Yet, you have excessively pursued the intricacies and power of sword techniques, neglecting the essence of sword intent."
As they spoke, the dual swords, one representing the feminine and the other the masculine, trembled slightly, releasing two streams of Yin and Yang sword energy that intertwined and traversed back and forth, at times swift and at times slow
However, his words seem to have some merit
Chi Jing could not understand why, despite both of them having become disciples on the same day, the other had surpassed him so greatly in the mastery of swordsmanship
This waterfall, formed by the essence of sword energy, seems to create a unique small world, separating Lin An from the vast world outside.
No wonder Brother Xuan Cheng is able to become the chief disciple
This is not a divine ability, but rather the essence of the sword
A gentle sword intent permeated and transformed into numerous small swords, converging into a ceaselessly flowing waterfall that spiraled around the body
Chi Jing said somewhat dismissively: "Senior brother has yet to overcome the tribulation of the three disasters, yet we have already attained the body of a celestial being. How can senior brother possibly guide us?"
Whether it is the alchemy and artifact refinement techniques of the Supreme Clarity Laozi, the divine powers and marvelous methods of the Jade Clarity Primordial Beginning, or the swordsmanship and formations of the Upper Clarity Transcendence, he has witnessed far too much over the years and has long since gained insight into the principles behind them
So it is! The interplay of yin and yang, the supremacy of the swordsmanship! I understand now! I understand now!
As he spoke, Lin An gently waved the Water and Fire Blade.
Even the lowly ants have a yearning for the heart of the sky... How could one like me, a true descendant of Pangu, be without the heart of attaining the Dao of the primordial unity
Lin An smiled as he threw the Water and Fire Blade back to Chi Jingzi, then reached out to summon the dual swords, slowly saying: "Lonely yin does not endure, solitary yang does not thrive... Yin and yang complement each other, and the way of the sword reigns supreme"
A crisp sound
What kind of divine power is this
Gazing intently at the two Tai Chi fish, Guang Chengzi's eyes burned with intensity
Chi Jing glanced at Lin An and, still somewhat unconvinced, asked: "Senior brother, this sword of yours is indeed exceptionally exquisite. You are not wrong in saying that the Water and Fire Blade is not suitable for a sharp and fierce approach. However, these dual swords of Yin and Yang, are they not suitable as well?"
Lin An smiled faintly and said, "My master has asked me to offer you some guidance, so that you do not stray from the right path"
Guang Chengzi could no longer contain himself, "Do you also understand swords?"
Have you actually started learning already
As Lin An spoke, the two streams of Yin and Yang sword energy gradually merged, swirling endlessly in the air. Not only did they not diminish with the passage of time, but instead expanded several times, forming two Tai Chi fish, one black and one white, chasing and spiraling around each other
Within a hundred zhang, I am invincible; the interplay of yin and yang, the swordsmanship reigns supreme... Xuan Chengzi's transformation has not lasted long, yet his tone is quite grand.
Guang Chengzi shouted excitedly
Guang Chengzi did not speak, but his gaze was fixed intensely on Lin An, his thoughts evidently aligned with those of Chi Jingzi.
Lin An smiled and beckoned to Shui Huofeng with a finger
At this moment, Lin An cast a glance at Chi Jingzi and slowly said: "Every spiritual treasure possesses its own spirit. This sword, which harmonizes the essence of water and fire, is sought after by you, Junior Brother, for its sharpness and ferocity, which is truly akin to picking up a sesame seed while dropping a watermelon."
Guang Chengzi and Chi Jing were quite astonished, as they never expected that Lin An's seemingly casual flick of his finger could actually cause their spiritual treasures to slip out of their control
Chi Jing raised an eyebrow, just about to open his mouth to argue, when he heard Lin An continue: "I possess a sword... it is the insight gained from observing the waterfall"
He paused for a moment, lowering his head as if deep in thought
In the next moment, Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi were astonished to discover that the dual swords of male and female, as well as the Water and Fire Blade in their hands, were trembling violently
Guidance
Click!
Lin An smiled faintly and flicked his fingers
Although they indeed became disciples on the same day, he has stood on Qilin Cliff for countless years, listening daily to the discussions of the Three Pure Ones
The so-called Sword Domain, more accurately referred to as the Domain of Heaven and Earth, is also known as the Small World by the beings of the Primordial Era
Chi Jing's expression was somewhat unpleasant, as he fixed his gaze on the sword energy waterfall surrounding Lin An.
This sword, without even mentioning its power, has already far exceeded his imagination merely with the unique sword domain it has formed
Chi Jing glanced back towards the direction from which the sound came, only to see Guang Chengzi surrounded by a torrent of sword energy, shattering like a waterfall
At a moment of carelessness, the two individuals unexpectedly let go of the three treasured swords, which flew on their own to Lin An's front, emitting a buzzing sound as if to ingratiate themselves.
A sharp sword intent howled out, soaring straight into the nine heavens
Within the Jade Void Palace, the Primordial Supreme Being retracted his gaze from the direction of Qilin Cliff and nodded in satisfaction
Sword Intent
Under normal circumstances, only the Golden Immortals who are eternally indestructible can open up and evolve their own small world after comprehending the laws of heaven and earth
"Traveling a thousand miles with a sword is not as good as being a hundred zhang away; within a hundred zhang, I am invincible!"
Chi Jing looked at Guang Chengzi, who was as excited as a child, and then glanced at Lin An, who was smiling calmly. A complex emotion that was difficult to articulate rose in his heart
The gaze of Zicheng, filled with astonishment, was fixed on Guangchengzi, who appeared somewhat embarrassed.
Lin An was unaware of the thoughts in his heart; even if he were to know them, he would only smile faintly.
Upon hearing this question, Guang Chengzi immediately turned to Lin An, his gaze complex, filled with both anticipation and resistance
He shook his head, casting a complex glance at Lin An, recalling the sense of transcendence over the heavens and the earth that accompanied the opponent's execution of that sword move
Such an action caused Chi Jingzi's expression to change abruptly, as if he had swallowed a fly and felt extremely uncomfortable
The water of the flying waterfall comes from the heavens, rushing to the sea and never returning... With magical power, it transforms into sword energy, cascading straight down for one hundred thousand miles, flowing endlessly, surging without cease...
The red and blue interlaced water and fire blade immediately flew into his hand
