Xu Jun looked at Zhu Ning silently, quite surprised.
Although his sword was not a full-strength sword energy of a hundred bells, it also gathered as many as eighty bells. After all,
the opponent was a foundation-building cultivator, and Xu Jun would not underestimate him. Sure enough
, the master of foundation-building was powerful.
Ten sword energies in the blink of an eye completely defeated his sword energy in an instant.
And all this, Zhu Ning did it easily, as if he had done something insignificant, and it was almost impossible to see that he had made a move.
Under the sword, Xu Jun only had a sense of unfathomable depth.
Zhu Ning nodded slightly and said, "Student Xu, you didn't try your best."
"How did Teacher Zhu know?" Xu Jun laughed.
"I've seen the video of you using a sword to defeat the heavenly tribulation." Zhu Ning said solemnly: "Although the power of the sword just now is not small, even a late-stage Qi training cultivator would have to retreat. However, it is far from the sword that splits the sky."
Xu Jun was stunned, video?
Where did the video come from? How come I don't know.
Zhu Ning waved his hand and said, "But I can understand your concerns. Well, you will understand after we get along for a long time."
Xu Jun opened his mouth and wanted to ask, what do I have to worry about?
If you must watch, I can just cut you with the sword again.
However, Zhu Ning changed the subject and said, "Master Ye's decree, you are already considered a member of our Taoist Palace. So, from now on, you can practice the Taoist Palace secrets in advance."
Xu Jun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly said, "Thank you, Teacher Zhu."
Zhu Ning pondered for a moment, and said, "Let me ask you, are you going to follow the path of the king sword or the path of the strange sword?"
Xu Jun was really puzzled this time, and said, "Please ask Teacher Zhu to explain in detail."
"For sword practitioners, there are two ways to the sky that can lead directly to the late stage of transformation, and even to the hope of refining the void."
"The first is the kingly way, also known as sword energy like rain. After cultivating sword energy, you train your magic power, absorb spiritual power, and continuously transform sword energy. Starting with ten swords, a hundred swords form a picture, and a thousand swords form a formation."
"Once the formation is formed, when fighting with others, the sword energy released will be like the rolling river, endless, and like Mount Tai pressing down on your head, unstoppable."
"This road is about winning by quantity, just like two armies fighting, with a large army pressing in, with more people against fewer, and winning by crushing."
Xu Jun nodded repeatedly, this is good.
When Xu Jun, a swordsman, was sparring with his fellow brothers in the martial arts hall of the Law Enforcement Hall, he had released ten sword energies and won in the end.
The two have the same purpose.
However, the sword energy released by Xu Jun, a swordsman, is actually a weakened version for him.
The sword energy of a normal sword cultivator is nothing more than the Ten Ming Condensed Gang, and its power is limited.
But Xu Jun's sword energy is completely different. The power of a single sword energy is far different.
In the battle in the other world, Xu Jun, a swordsman, used ten sword energies of the Ten Ming Condensed Gang level, turning the power of one sword energy into ten weakened versions of sword energy, thus achieving an alternative victory by quantity.
Seeing Xu Jun's thoughtful look, Zhu Ning did not urge him, leaving him enough time to think carefully.
After a moment, Xu Jun said, "The kingly way wins by quantity, what about the strange way?"
"The strange way, is also called sword energy like silk. This path specializes in cultivating a kind of sword energy, and emphasizes exquisite control, refining the sword energy to the point where it can be used at will and change in countless ways. At first, the sword energy is flexible and smooth, hurting the enemy without being seen."
"Then, the sword energy is spiritual, it can transform into a python, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and finally transform into a dragon with infinite power."
Xu Jun was moved when he heard this, and said, "Teacher Zhu, which path is more powerful?"
Zhu Ning laughed and said, "There is no strongest path of cultivation, only stronger sword cultivation." Xu Jun
immediately understood that the power of these two paths should be on par with each other. Which one is better depends on the realm and strength of the cultivator.
"Teacher Zhu, are these the only two paths for sword cultivation?"
Zhu Ning shook his head slightly and said, "No, there are thousands of paths for sword cultivation. However, only these two paths are recognized as the main roads that lead directly to the refining void. As for the others... let's not talk about them."
Since there is a road to the sky, why do you have to take the rugged path with no one?
Of course, if you are stubborn and think that you can create a sword path that leads directly to the refining void by relying on your own strength, then it is just random.
Xu Jun bowed his head slightly and said, "Thank you for your guidance. Teacher Zhu, you are also a sword cultivator. I wonder which one you choose..."
Zhu Ning said proudly, "I chose the kingly way."
"May I ask about your realm, teacher?"
"Thirty years ago, when I successfully established my foundation, I could already form a picture with a hundred swords." Zhu Ning did not refuse this seemingly unreasonable request, and said, "Now I can condense five hundred swords and form five sword pictures. But with only one sword picture, there are few people of the same level who can match it."
Xu Jun immediately understood what Zhu Ning said. The two paths are the same, so he can choose whatever he wants.
However, just by looking at his boastful look at this moment, you can tell what he really wants to recommend.
Of course, this may be related to Zhu Ning's own choice.
People tend to be more inclined to people or things they are familiar with, even immortal cultivators are no exception.
"You are also a master of foundation building, right?"
Sun Yiqiong smiled and said, "Classmate Xu Jun, Senior Zhu was a Daozi of our Dao Palace thirty years ago. He is now in the late stage of foundation building and is expected to form a pill in twenty or thirty years."
Xu Jun was quite envious. A seed of forming a pill.
Oh, a Daozi from thirty years ago?
In other words, as long as you practice the Hundred Swords Forming Diagram, you can become a Daozi?
It seems that this Hundred Swords Forming Diagram is not simple.
He hesitated for a while, but still asked, "Teacher Zhu, if you and Teacher Sun compete, what will the result be?"
The smile on Sun Yiqiong's face suddenly couldn't be held back. This dead kid is too annoying.
Zhu Ning said lightly, "Go all out?"
"Yes."
"A country chicken and a clay dog can be killed with one sword."
Xu Jun widened his eyes and finally determined that this teacher Zhu must be very powerful in combat, but in terms of human relations, it is estimated that he is as unfathomable as his sword realm.
At this time, Sun Yiqiong's face was slightly black.
However, if what Zhu Ning said was true, then as long as he could practice a hundred sword qi, he could form a sword diagram, which could be said to be invincible at the same level. What
if there were a thousand sword qi?
No, his sword qi was not an ordinary sword qi, it was a hundred sword qi. If such a mountain of sword qi formed a sword formation.
In other words, he could split each sword qi into ten.
Wouldn't that mean he could form a ten thousand sword formation?
I wonder if there is such a sword formation.
If there is!
Thinking of tens of thousands of sword qi, condensing into a large formation in the void...
Xu Jun shook his head quickly. The picture was too beautiful. He dared not look at it.
Concentrating his mind, Xu Jun asked tentatively: "Teacher Zhu, when do you expect to be able to practice a thousand swords into a formation?"
Zhu Ning sighed and said: "It is so difficult to form a formation for a thousand years. Even for me, I will consider it after I have formed a pill."
Forming a pill?
Just a thousand swords. You are so powerful and invincible at the same level. Do you need to try it above the golden pill?
Xu Jun felt vaguely that something seemed to be wrong.
"What about the formation above a thousand swords? Is there a formation of ten thousand swords?"
Zhu Ning laughed dumbly and said, "How is that possible? A thousand swords formation is the limit. Once it is formed, it can breed heavenly thunder. Going one step further, it is the sword-generating thunder that only the Yuanying True Venerable can display."
He paused and said, "Xu Jun, if you want to learn the kingly sword, I can teach you. If you want to learn the strange sword, I will also guide you, but the road after that is up to you to walk on your own."
Xu Jun opened his mouth and said, "Teacher Zhu, can't we take both paths at the same time?"
Zhu Ning was silent for a moment and said, "Human energy is limited, how can it be possible to be all-encompassing and perfect."
"No matter which path you choose, you will need to spend a lot of time learning and practicing. Haha, even if you are gifted, just the way of swordsmanship is enough to exhaust your life's energy and time. If you are distracted by other things, I am afraid you will end up empty-handed and gain nothing."
Xu Jun said obediently: "Yes, I understand, thank you for your guidance." Zhu
Ning nodded happily, added him as a watch friend, operated it, and said: "I know it is difficult for you to decide now, don't worry. I have opened up the library permissions of the Taoist Palace for you, and you can read the content of the first-level cultivators."
"In addition, I recommend you some articles, which talk about the righteous way and the strange way respectively. You can take a closer look and then make a decision."
At this point, Zhu Ning's expression suddenly became serious.
"However, once you have made your choice, you must go all out and not waver."
Xu Jun nodded quickly and said, "Student understands. Thank you, Teacher Zhu."
Zhu Ning turned around and said, "Xiaomei Sun, my task is temporarily completed. I will teach him after Xu Jun makes his choice."
Sun Yiqiong said quickly, "Okay, Senior Zhu, I have booked a second-level cave for you. You take a rest first. I will notify you when Xu Jun makes a decision."
Zhu Ning responded, took a big step, and left in a flash.
Xu Jun smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher Sun, Teacher Zhu... is a little special."
"Oh, don't underestimate him, Senior Zhu is just not interested in general affairs." Sun Yiqiong said disdainfully, "But the students he teaches are the best in combat effectiveness. So you don't have to worry that he can't teach people."
Xu Jun said embarrassedly, "I don't underestimate Teacher Zhu, I trust Teacher Zhu very much."
Sun Yiqiong had a look on her face that said you are kidding me, and said, "Okay, I advise you to decide your future quickly. The sooner you decide on this thing, the better. Besides, you are about to take the college entrance examination. Although Master Ye only mentioned the top 500, you don't really plan to just get into the top 500, do you?"
Xu Jun immediately held his head high and said, "Teacher Sun, don't worry, I will go to Teacher Zhu to study tomorrow and strive to learn something before the college entrance examination."
"Okay, I hope you don't let Master Ye down."
