I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

When Qin Zhenyang used his extraordinary eyesight to see Xie Yuan sitting cross-legged and floating one foot in the air, he knew that the breakthrough process was over.

Communicate with heaven and earth, and control the air to float in the air.

The state of the master.

He stood there in a daze, hardly able to believe his eyes.

If he wasn't a master and it were impossible for him to be dazzled, Qin Zhenyang would rather believe that there was something wrong with his eyesight.

Unfortunately, although the 69th floor of Jianfeng is high, it is too close for him.

After staring at it for a while, Qin Zhenyang came back to his senses and sighed:
"Thank you... Junior Brother Zhang is truly a man of extraordinary talent, beyond imagination."

The disciples on duty nearby looked puzzled, not knowing why the eldest brother had such a strange look on his face and exclaimed in such surprise.

In the Yunshan Sword Sect, the eldest senior brother Qin Zhenyang has always been a synonym for solidity and reliability. Sometimes people even feel that he is more reliable than the sect master.

Qin Zhenyang waved his hand, and the heavy palace door glowed. He had unlocked the gate leading to Jianfeng and said:
"The mountain closure has been lifted."

"what?"

The leader's disciple looked bewildered:
"So soon? Shouldn't it take three days?"

"Yeah, so fast, shouldn't it take three days..."

Qin Zhenyang shook his head and sighed:

"It's over. There's no need to seal the sword peak anymore. Junior Brother Zhang still cares about the sect and can't bear to see fellow disciples in need wait too long."

The disciples around were all stunned, unable to react.

What's the meaning……

...Yes, it failed, right?

Strange thoughts came to their minds and they thought this subconsciously.

It’s not that they didn’t hope for the best for Xie Yuan, but if they didn’t think so, they would have to think of another possibility, the possibility hidden in Qin Zhenyang’s tone.

boom!
A fierce momentum suddenly erupted from the upper part of the sword peak, driving the majestic sword intent that had been raging on the sword peak all year round. It instantly rushed up to the sky, broke through the clouds, and opened a big hole.

All the disciples in the hall turned their heads at once, looked up in shock, and after seeing this scene, they finally understood what had happened.

That Junior Brother Zhang has already opened up the bridge between heaven and earth, connecting the inner and outer worlds!
Xie Yuan floated on the stone platform, feeling that he was in an unprecedented state.

He entered an extremely ethereal state. Not only himself, but the entire world in his eyes - or in his spiritual consciousness - had become different.

There are spots of flickering light in the air. Although thin, they are the true essence and aura of heaven and earth, carrying natural meaning and even the true principles of heaven and earth.

Although the natural spiritual energy is barren after the great changes in heaven and earth, it is still the key for practitioners to step into a higher level and comprehend the truth of the great way.

Xie Yuan's blood, qi and internal energy are now united, giving birth to his true consciousness. With his consciousness, he can see the world clearly.

There were many bright spots on Yunshan Mountain, including the main peak and Ruyun Peak, which looked like star clusters. If you looked down the mountain, the light became increasingly scarce, with only faint spots at the foot of the mountain.

Xie Yuan understood that this was the "spiritual energy" he had sensed before, and he was finally able to "see" it with his spiritual consciousness, which was the key to practice after the Grandmaster level.

He looked inward again, and it seemed as if an invisible bridge had been built in his lower dantian, like a passage connecting the inner scene with the heaven and earth. It was mysterious, invisible and intangible. It was not as obvious as poking out from the belly, but rather it probed directly from the dantian into the void.

This passage was still very narrow at this time, and could not be considered a bridge, but only a path. Xie Yuan understood that after practicing for a long time, he would open up this bridge of land to a level that could truly cross rivers and seas, and cross the void, and that would be considered a high level among the Grandmasters.

Of course, although it is profound, it is not the top level. Above that, there is a higher realm - that is, building a bridge to the sky from the sea of ​​consciousness.

The Bridge of Earth gathers spiritual energy to comprehend nature, while the Bridge of Heaven is to feel the true rhythm and touch the great way. They are completely different levels, and the difference between them and the master who only knows the Bridge of Earth cannot be explained by reason.

The martial arts training before becoming a Grandmaster is like climbing a mountain with each level. After becoming a Grandmaster, even an inch of progress may mean the difference between nine levels.

Xie Yuan had already learned a lot from his friends and teachers in advance, so he was familiar with the breakthrough process and the subsequent realm. At this time, he knew that he had successfully achieved the breakthrough naturally.

He could feel that his Indestructible Golden Bell Cover and Great Golden River Skill had each broken through to the fourth and eleventh levels respectively, and their power had undergone a qualitative change.

The fourth level of the Immortal Golden Bell has no special attributes, but its indestructible characteristics completely surpass the first three levels. Xie Yuan's defense and recovery ability have just broken through, and he has really gained some "immortal" charm. The same level of master can't easily break through. This is the top-level magic skill of the master level! There is no fancy amplification, it is all numerical, which makes people feel at ease.

The Dajinhe Gong itself returned to the eleventh level, and it also possessed the might of a mighty river and deep still waters, making it difficult for the enemy to resist the endless force.

Once the internal energy stored in the tangible and intangible sword is retrieved, one's power will soon increase significantly.

Moreover, the blood, qi and internal energy have initially produced a harmonious effect as they are completely balanced and making further breakthroughs.

This step has achieved the unity of the inside and the outside of the body. From then on, with continuous practice, the blood, qi and internal energy can gradually become indistinguishable from each other and merge into the master's strength.

This is the special feature of the Grandmaster realm. Compared with the blood or internal energy alone, the Grandmaster's power can be used as two parts, which is equivalent to doubling the power, and its nature is higher! However, under the control of the mind, the changes are controlled by the heart, but they can also be clearly divided, each exerting the effect of the power and using different moves.

Of course, Xie Yuan couldn't achieve complete mutual transformation at the moment, that was the realm of high-level masters. But even if he just made initial use of the new power, the power was incomparable to before.

Now Xie Yuan's skill level may have increased slightly, but in terms of the realm of his skills and the essence of his skills, he has completely improved. Just like every transformation of the Qi and Blood Transformation Realm, the transformation is more comprehensive and to a greater extent.

Coupled with the control of his body with his spiritual consciousness, the application of his skills, and the perception of his surroundings, Xie Yuan's strength has undergone a qualitative leap.

If he were to face his pre-breakthrough self, he would be able to defeat him in just three moves or two. Before that, he was already stronger than a beginner Grandmaster, and now that he has truly become a Grandmaster, he has already reached a considerable level.

The breakthrough was simply too huge. Although becoming a Grandmaster was a huge leap, a leap like Xie Yuan's was rare.

Firstly, under the intuitive display of the panel, he had truly cultivated to the peak, and his foundation was extremely solid, without any deficiencies;
Secondly, his internal and external fundamental methods are top-notch, and the higher the level, the stronger the effect;

The third reason was that the body was tempered by the Sky Blue Fruit, the blood was refined by the Heavenly Fire, and the continuous tempering by the Burning Heaven and Exterminating Dao Spear, all of which made Xie Yuan's blood extremely solid and of high quality. If it weren't for the fact that the internal breath cultivated by the Great Golden River Technique was also top-notch, and it had broken through the limit in advance, there would probably be an imbalance where the blood level was higher than the internal breath.

The bridge of the earth connects heaven, earth and oneself, and it is the first time it is connected, which is the most special.

Xie Yuan subconsciously tried to comprehend the natural world around him and tried to find the truth of the great way.

This is also the instinctive action of every grandmaster when he has just broken through, just like crawling out of a narrow cave and seeing a ray of light. The first reaction is to look around.

The benefits of the first enlightenment are often enormous, and many masters have gained a lot at this time.

It could be the rhythm of nature that gives the skills corresponding attributes, or it could be the enlightenment of the Tao, knowing how to move forward in the future, or it could be the attraction of a large amount of spiritual energy, which greatly increases the power and lays the foundation for practice.

Xie Yuan sensed his surroundings and used his spiritual consciousness to cross the ground bridge and explore the heaven and earth.

But he found himself surrounded by a sea of ​​swords.

This is the world of Jianfeng, or the place where the world of Heavenly Book and the sword intent of the predecessors of the sword sects of all generations are mixed.

This feeling was very familiar. Xie Yuan had swam in this ocean many times and had also taken a sip of it.

But the feeling this time is different from before.

If I say that I had entered this place by mistake before, I had just gone with the flow, completely ignorant, and could only rely on instinct to gain opportunities in the way of the sword.

This time he felt like he was back home, radiant and at ease, his spiritual awareness almost covering the entire world of kendo.

There are billions of sword techniques in this world, with figures practicing, masters fighting, and long swords dancing. There are also images, famous swords, broken blades, techniques, and picture albums displayed everywhere.

Xie Yuan was dazzled, but his consciousness was very clear and he didn't feel dizzy at all.

"So many sword techniques, can I use them as I please?"

His mind flashed, his eyes lit up in the void, and he instantly looked at the highest sword techniques in the entire kendo world.

Whenever there is movement, there is a tsunami surging, and huge waves are cut down. With every move, it seems as if the boundless ocean is subdued by the vast sword technique.

That is the Cangjian Pavilion's signature sword skill, the Zhenhai Pingchao Sword Technique.

This sword technique seems to be quite compatible with the Great Golden River Kung Fu...

Xie Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked to the side again.

A sharp sword energy, so sharp that one could not even see its shadow, kept flashing. In the blink of an eye, it crossed a thousand miles. The sword energy spread across the entire sky, leaving countless afterimages and cutting the sky into pieces.

The sword of fleeting light.

Xie Yuan's mind moved, and he felt his consciousness surging in his mind, as if he had felt something.

I can learn this sword technique.

He had this realization, and then his mind turned and he looked at other things.

There is the majestic and magnificent swordsmanship of the Emperor of Man, the Taoist Tai Chi Liangyi sword style that contains great truths, and the unique and unchanging sword style of keeping quiet...

All of them are famous top-notch swords, some of which have been lost.

Xie Yuan looked over the magic sword and saw it clearly, which dazzled him. Unfortunately, he could not fully understand it.

He vaguely felt that his spiritual awareness was limited. Although he passed through the treasure house, he could only obtain one true method at most.

“Whatever I feel is right for me.”

Xie Yuan sighed.

I really can't bear to give it up. The good skills are all mine, and if they are not suitable, it must be my own fault...

What a pity. I can only wait and see if I will have another chance to understand it in the future.

Xie Yuan made a decision in a flash.

He had a hunch that if he wanted to learn other sword techniques, although he could comprehend them, it might take a lot of effort and time.

But if it was the Fleeting Light Sword... he had already started it?

Xie Yuan understood that this was the sword intent that Li Xingtuo had given him before, which had been engraved in his heart and he had reaped the rewards.

He will master this sword technique faster than other sword techniques.

The cultivation of the Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear and the fundamental method already requires a lot of time. If it were other sword techniques, it would take up even more energy.

The Floating Light Sword can be mastered more quickly, and among all the top sword techniques that are suitable for him, this one is the most suitable for him.

The power and dominance of the Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear are even better than the Calming the Sea and Calming the Tide Sword Technique, so choosing this one is obviously a bit repetitive.

However, the top speed and burst of the Fleeting Light Sword can complement the Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear, and they can make up for each other. It is also very suitable for the Sky Hiding Technique, and can exert the strongest effect of catching the enemy by surprise and attacking them when they are unprepared.

In addition, although Xie Yuan possessed two extraordinary footworks, they pale in comparison to the top-notch skills. Compared with masters who also possessed a great inheritance, such as Ji Xuan, he had no advantage in this regard.

The Fleeting Sword perfectly makes up for this relative shortcoming.

Xie Yuan's mind moved, and he blocked all his perceptions, focusing his consciousness on the sword shadow that spanned the sky, and immersed himself in perception.

Extreme speed, extreme power, extreme explosion...

This is a sword technique that seeks to reach the ultimate, it can also be said to be a body technique or a martial arts technique.

This sword technique has pushed speed and power to the limit, and is the ultimate in this category of kendo.

Qiufeng Tower's Autumn Wind Falling Leaf Sword and Shadowless Step, Li Tai's Cloud Dragon Step, if these skills are pushed to the end, they will become the Fleeting Light Sword.

Xie Yuan immersed himself in it and gradually gained some experience.

On the sword tip, the sword intent was suddenly activated by Xie Yuan and exploded, rising into the sky and piercing through the heavy clouds.

In the large study in the main hall.

Li Xingtuo felt something in his heart. He looked up at the sky and saw the hole that looked like a sword splitting the sky. He remained silent for a long time.

"This boy is too fast! He just entered... A girl will be unhappy with his appearance."

Li Xingtuo took advantage of the fact that no one was around and sighed and laughed to himself. His tone was full of undisguised surprise, which was quite inconsistent with the image of a sect leader.

He was not surprised by Xie Yuan's breakthrough.

But he had never anticipated Xie Yuan's speed.

Li Xingtuo thought, it would take at least one day, right?

One day was enough to shock him, but he estimated that Xie Yuan's character had greatly raised his expectations.

Unexpectedly, I underestimated him.

How long has he been out of here?

"This kid always comes up with new tricks."

Li Xingtuo stared at the clouds for a long time, digesting the shock brought by Xie Yuan.

"Moreover, this sword intent..."

There was a hint of doubt and disbelief in Li Xingtuo's eyes.

Previously, he had gained great insights into the Fleeting Light Sword, and the sword's power swept away the clouds, just like a sword splitting the sky. The news even alarmed the leader of the Cangjian Pavilion who was far away in Jiangdong, and he came to challenge him.

Now Xie Yuan is actually making similar moves?

Although it was much smaller than his previous movement, he had just made a breakthrough... and he always felt that the meaning was quite similar.

Li Xingtuo's eyes flashed, and he was ready to ask later.

However, this kid may not tell the truth, but this matter is of great importance, so we have to find a way to get it out of him.

Come to think of it, the breakthrough in swordsmanship seemed to be when this kid just went up the mountain, right?
Now he has returned to Yunshan and made another breakthrough, and the scene is just like that day.

The reincarnation in it makes people feel emotional.

Many elders on other branches of Yunshan Mountain were either practicing or busy, but they turned their heads at the same time and looked at the sword energy that pierced through the clouds and the momentum that was faintly like a latent dragon taking off, all with expressions of surprise.

"Who in the sect has made a breakthrough? It seems that our Sword Sect has gained another Grandmaster. Congratulations!"

"Haha, let's go and have a look. There is someone who is hiding quietly and deeply! We have to let this guy treat everyone to a good drink."

"This sword intent... the new master seems quite extraordinary."

Several less busy elders rushed to the main peak out of curiosity, and other elders also ordered their men to go and inquire.

[Immortal Golden Bell Cover·Fourth Level: (1/4000)]

[Dajinhe Gong·1th level: (11000/)]

[Glimpse of Light Sword - Beginner's Guide: (1/1000)]

[Sword Heart - Intermediate]

[Understand the weaknesses of thousands of sword techniques, or sometimes break through the shortcomings of hundreds of weapons]

The 69th floor of Jianfeng.

Xie Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

He was still floating in the air, although only one foot off the ground, but this one foot was the gap that countless warriors dreamed of all their lives but could never cross.

The spiritual consciousness controlled the master's power to be slowly output, and the bridge of the earth connected the heaven and the earth, attracting external energy. The combination of the two allowed Xie Yuan to easily break the shackles of the earth.

However, he was still a little crooked at this time. Obviously, he was not familiar with the sky and was a little afraid of heights when he was three feet above the ground.

The panel is still the same panel, or it can be said that it is no longer the same panel.

The update of the realm of martial arts indicates a completely different realm.

Grandmaster realm.

In addition to this, the Fleeting Light Sword, which had been a question mark before, was finally comprehended today, and directly reached the entry level, which means it can be used.

"Fleeting Light Sword..."

An excited look gradually emerged in Xie Yuan's eyes.

When he was still very young, he watched the battle between Li Xingtuo and Cangjian Pavilion Master Wei Dong, and he developed a great interest in this unique sword technique!

I didn't expect that after several years, by chance, I actually learned this peerless sword technique!

This sword technique actually has no specific sword moves, only mental skills and sword intentions. However, sword techniques without moves often test pure aptitude and understanding.

The Fleeting Light Sword is often lost in the Yunshan Sword Sect, which is home to many sword geniuses. The difficulty of using it is self-evident.

But now Xie Yuan took his sword skills into his mind.

He felt as if he could wield the sword at an extremely high speed with just a movement of his hand, and with a step of his foot, his body would automatically follow the sword and transform into a fleeting shadow in the sky.

When the sword is swung at an extremely fast speed, it naturally unleashes extreme power.

This sword technique consumes a lot of energy, and can drain most of the energy in a short period of time. But if it is not for a long battle, whoever can use the energy more efficiently will naturally be more likely to win. At this level, the master's energy is very strong, and it is not easy to use it up, but it takes a lot of thought to figure out how to use it. Therefore, explosive energy techniques are often popular.

What a powerful swordsmanship.

Xie Yuan couldn't help but move his fingers.

Although he was eager to try, Xie Yuan did not forget where he was, so he held himself back.

Even though he wasn't learning it secretly, he somehow felt like he was stealing it, and he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

Let’s talk about it later.

Then Xie Yuan looked at the new ability, the advanced sword heart.

"From the burst of spiritual light during the sword fight, to being able to see through the weak points as long as you concentrate."

Xie Yuan nodded repeatedly, greatly encouraged:
"It's no longer a matter of luck, it's a matter of strength! I can now be considered a true swordsman's nemesis! I've read all kinds of sword techniques, I know all their variations, I know their strengths and weaknesses. The gains from this sword peak are truly immeasurable!

"And, does it have the same effect on other weapons as the beginner's swordsman?"

Xie Yuan's eyes flickered, and he guessed that this should be the credit of Wanbing Zhuying. On the sword peak, the black book on his arm kept heating up, echoing the sword peak from afar.

Before, when he comprehended the Ten Thousand Weapons Candle Shadows, he occasionally had a premonition that he could see through the weaknesses of other weapons. This time, with the breakthrough in his ability, he truly succeeded.

Looking through all the skills and abilities in his body, feeling the changes and improvements in himself, Xie Yuan was very impressed.

Entering and exiting Jianfeng once today is like a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate and turning into a golden dragon.

Maybe I am not yet a flying dragon flying in the sky, but sooner or later.

Xie Yuan stood up and let out a long sigh.

The sword intent of the sixty-ninth level no longer posed any pressure to him.

Looking back to not long ago, the sword energy here could still temper his blood and energy which had reached its limit.

That feeling seemed to have happened just an hour ago.

Xie Yuan's consciousness moved slightly, and he sensed the sword intent around him very clearly.

If he stayed here permanently, his understanding of swordsmanship would definitely be greatly improved, but he wouldn't have the feeling of having everything he wanted in the world of kendo.

It seems that it was the Black Book and the newbie benefits of opening the Bridge of Heaven and Earth for the first time that gave me the pleasure of choosing at will. If I want to have such an understanding again, it is a rare opportunity.

Xie Yuan no longer lingered. Although he wanted to climb to the top of the mountain to meditate and gain insights, he had other things to do.

After quickly descending from Jianfeng Peak, Xie Yuan saw Qin Zhenyang waiting in the back hall.

"Brother Qin, you are still here. Thank you for your help."

Xie Yuan bowed and smiled.

Qin Zhenyang's expression suddenly became complicated:
“I wanted to leave originally… but one hour is really not enough of a burden.

"Let's go, Master is waiting for you in the study."

The disciples on duty nearby stared at Xie Yuan in a daze. Even they could feel the powerful aura that Xie Yuan had just broken through and had not yet subsided.

This aura is indeed the same as that of the elders, but it is no longer on the same level as them.

Is it really... that fast?

This Junior Brother Zhang... no, Grandmaster Zhang's breakthrough was as smooth and natural as eating and drinking.

Xie Yuan soon arrived at Li Xingtuo's study room again.

Li Xingtuo felt that he had not even been gone for long, the mountains of files in front of him were still piled up, and he was back again.

After taking a look up and down, Li Xingtuo said calmly:
"good."

As the sect leader, he is naturally used to seeing the ups and downs of his disciples, but he remains as still as a mountain.

Breaking through to the Grandmaster level in one hour is nothing, just a little faster than I was back then.

Just a few hundred hours, about the same.

Xie Yuan said modestly:

"Thanks to the Sect Master's guidance."

"It's also your own efforts."

Li Xingtuo hesitated halfway through his speech. It was hard to say whether such a short period of time would require a lot of effort.

He shook his head and threw the intangible sword over again.

"Since it's going so smoothly, you can try to recover your skills and stabilize your realm."

The seal he placed on Xie Yuan was automatically broken after the breakthrough. Now Xie Yuan only needed to hold the tangible and intangible sword to retrieve his inner energy.

He held the crystal hilt, sat aside, and began to practice his skills.

"Master Junior Brother!"

"Master, which fellow disciple has made a breakthrough?"

"show me……"

Soon, several elders came together. Lu Pei from Zhujian Peak, with three long beards, led the way in. He and Li Xingtuo had a very good relationship, so he didn't bother to knock on the door and walked in directly, seeing Xie Yuan at a glance.

"This……"

His pupils suddenly shrank. Xie Yuan's aura was so easy to recognize. The strength and sharpness of his recent breakthrough were obvious to everyone who passed by.

Several other masters entered the room and looked at Xie Yuan, equally stunned.

The elders recognized Zhang Shan, who had become famous in those days. Later, when something unexpected happened in Jiangnan, Li Xingtuo even went there in person to pick up the disciples who were returning to the Jinling Branch. And with several major events that happened in the family later, the elders knew the true identity of Zhang Shan.

The sect leader went to help him once some time ago, and then he brought him back again?
No, this former inner disciple, now the young and powerful head of the Xie family, has made a breakthrough today?

When did he come? Why haven’t I heard about it?
Several masters communicated with Li Xingtuo via telepathy for a moment, and then immediately showed even more shocked expressions.

Breakthrough to Grandmaster in one hour?

The leader is lying again!

The elders all showed disbelief towards Li Xingtuo, which made Li Xingtuo laugh and cry.

It seems that my prestige is not enough. I have restrained myself a lot since I became the sect leader...

But no matter what, Xie Yuan's breakthrough is a fact that is before us.

Thinking back to the past...it was actually just three years ago that Xie Yuan started to make his mark in Yunshan.

Now, has he become a Grandmaster? He is at the same level as them.

Lupe and the other elders all had complicated expressions.

At first, they had considered taking Xie Yuan as their apprentice, but were stopped by Li Xingtuo.

Now seeing that Xie Yuan was so outstanding, everyone hated Li Xingtuo again, feeling that they had missed out on a great master's disciple!

But they kind of understand.

Perhaps with Xie Yuan's qualifications and identity, he is not suitable to become their disciple.

Lupe and the others looked at each other for a moment, and seeing that Xie Yuan was still working hard, they quietly left with many feelings.

Wait until Xie Yuan wakes up.

After a while of practicing the Great Golden River Technique, he was already halfway through the eleventh level.

He had to reverse the practice to lower his level, and transfer out a lot of his skills. However, Xie Yuan himself broke through, and the saved internal energy allowed him to rise to a higher level.

If one could break through the twelfth level, then the Six Bends of the Great River, with the true power of a river, would be invincible.

Feeling Xie Yuan's aura becoming stronger, Li Xingtuo's eyes flickered and he said slowly:
"Is it done?"

Xie Yuan stood up and bowed solemnly:

"Thank you for your guidance and help, Sect Master! For your help, I, your disciple..."

"Alright, there's no need to mention any of this. If you consider yourself a disciple of Yunshan, just remember the sect's teachings. You are not ordinary, you can influence many people, and you can change the fate of many people, so you should remember this even more."

Li Xingtuo waved his hand.

Xie Yuan's expression straightened and he said loudly:
"Hold the sword for justice, and be clear-minded for righteousness. Fight against evil and support the weak, and cut off injustice with the sword. Disciple will always remember this."

"That's good."

Li Xingtuo smiled and said casually:
"How's your practice of the Floating Light Sword going?"

Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment and opened his mouth.

Xie Yuan, who has gone through many trials and tribulations, although young, will no longer be easily tricked.

But sometimes keeping silent is also an answer, and although Xie Yuan can react now, he will not lie to Li Xingtuo.

Therefore, Li Xingtuo understood it immediately, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes:
"You have indeed mastered the Floating Light Sword!"

Xie Yuan closed his mouth, nodded silently, and then drew his sword.

As soon as he made a move, the air around him seemed to stagnate and time seemed to slow down. Only he and the sword in his hand were moving like flowing water.

He looked slow, yet everything around him seemed to be still.

Except Li Xingtuo.

Li Xingtuo took a look, his eyes changing, as if he was sighing, as if he was thinking.

After a moment, his figure seemed to blur for a moment, and then became clear again.

Li Xingtuo suddenly appeared in front of Xie Yuan, gently took off Xie Yuan's sword, and then swung it casually.

Li Xingtuo's sword moves were extremely smooth and freehand, and he performed each move with ease.

Even those who don't know swords can feel the charm and stretch of it, and a sentence involuntarily emerges in their minds:
"This might be a big family."

However, those who knew swords, such as Xie Yuan, gradually opened their eyes wide, gradually showing shock, and even confusion:
“This is… the Nine Forms of Cloud Dragon?
"The perfect Cloud Dragon Nine Styles are so powerful! The sect master's swordsmanship is already perfect. I can't see any flaws. The intermediate swordsmanship seems to be fake. Is this the so-called transformation realm? Perhaps this is even higher than the transformation realm.

"But why do I feel so slow... Could it be that he is using the Floating Light Sword's mental method to perform the Nine Styles of Cloud Dragon? "

Xie Yuan has already used the Floating Light Sword, and his speed is actually so fast that he is just a shadow.

However, Li Xingtuo took off his sword and demonstrated the Nine Styles of Cloud Dragon to him in a moment.

After completing the nine moves, Li Xingtuo held the sword upside down, put the hilt back into Xie Yuan's hand, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

The other Li Xingtuo had been sitting behind the desk, as if he had never moved.

Xie Yuan's figure returned to normal. He continued to stab out with the sword. It still seemed normal and smooth, but in fact it was incredibly fast, making the surroundings seem stagnant.

But he slowly stopped, lowered his sword, stood there, and his eyes flashed wildly.

Li Xingtuo looked at him quietly without saying anything.

Waiting for Xie Yuan to gradually come back to his senses, Li Xingtuo asked:

"How much do you understand?"

Xie Yuan hesitated for a moment:

"Three points...

“But I remember them all.”

Li Xingtuo's eyes gleamed:
"very good."

Three points? More than he thought.

But considering Xie Yuan's qualifications, it might not be surprising.

When he had just broken through to Grandmaster level, he had not yet mastered such a miraculous skill. This kid...

"Practice well and comprehend well. It is worth studying for a lifetime. It is no worse than the Burning Heaven and Exterminating Dao Spear of your Xie family."

Li Xingtuo instructed.

Xie Yuan felt mixed emotions, he was touched but didn't know what to say. Thanking him was too pale.

Not only did Li Xingtuo have no objection to his understanding of the Fleeting Light Sword, he also demonstrated the most subtle aspects of it to him personally and showed him a perfect performance!
The Fleeting Light Sword is the sword spirit and the mental method. If you really practice it well, you can use it as the core to perform thousands of sword moves with ever-changing and unpredictable power.

Li Xingtuo was thoughtful enough to practice this with the Nine Styles of Cloud Dragon that Xie Yuan knew. Not only did Xie Yuan gain the most intuitive and profound understanding of the Floating Light Sword, he also became much faster in practicing it, and his comprehension of the Nine Styles of Cloud Dragon was also greatly deepened!

"metropolitan."

Xie Yuan bowed solemnly:
"The grace of preaching..."

"I still say what I just said. Just remember that you are Yunshan's disciple, and there is no need to say anything else."

Li Xingtuo waved his hand calmly:
"You are able to comprehend this sword technique. You are truly gifted. You should pass it on. After all, this sword technique is too difficult.

"In the future, if you meet a disciple who can learn this sword technique, if his character is up to par, you can accept him as a disciple of the Sword Sect and teach him this sword technique."

This is equivalent to not only authorizing Xie Yuan to use it, but also authorizing him to pass it on. The meaning of this is difficult to express in words.

Xie Yuan showed a serious expression:

"Master, I understand. If there is a chance, I will pass on the sword skills to the sect."

Li Xingtuo nodded and smiled:
"What are your plans next? I think you may not only come here for the purpose of breakthrough."

Li Xingtuo's eyes were as sharp as swords, and he could see some of Xie Yuan's feelings.

Xie Yuan nodded:
"I'll visit my old friends for a while, then I should leave. My second uncle's illness cannot be delayed, and there are some things going on in the clan. After I finish dealing with things, maybe I will go to the Western Regions."

"The Western Regions... Although the Central Plains don't talk much about Western martial arts, the masters there are actually no worse than those in the Central Plains. You have to be careful."

Li Xingtuo instructed.

Xie Yuan thought of the masters he had seen in the Western Desert, and his heart trembled a little.

The higher his skill level, the more he knew the level of strength of people like Li Xingtuo and how amazing he was.

The Ming King from the Western Regions is at the same level as Li Xingtuo and should not be underestimated.

"Go."

Li Xingtuo waved his hand:

"Come back to Yunshan more often when you have time."

Although he said this, he also knew that Xie Yuan probably wouldn't have much free time.

Xie Yuan bowed solemnly again, picked up the dragon soul that was placed here, and left the sect master's study.

Xie Yuan's breakthrough was really too fast.

The news that Zhang Shanshang Jianfeng had broken through to the Grandmaster level had just spread. Before it spread too far, the news that he had also completed the breakthrough came soon after. In some places, the news even came one after another, such as the inner gate of Ruyun Peak.

"Junior Brother Zhang Shan from the inner sect is back! He has gone to the Sword Peak to break through to become a Grandmaster!"

"What? Junior Brother Zhang?"

"What?"

"Are you crazy?"

The disciple who was delivering the message stiffened his neck when he heard others questioning him.

"It's true! I was working in the main hall of the main peak, and heard it from Senior Brother Tang who was guarding the gate of the back hall!"

"No way?"

The inner sect disciples quickly gathered around and discussed excitedly, but most of them were questioning its authenticity.

Not long after.

"Junior Brother Zhang Shan from the inner sect, Grandmaster Bu Zhang is back! He has successfully broken through!"

"What? Grandmaster Zhang?"

"What?"

"Are you crazy too?"

"Nonsense!"

The final question was raised by the previous disciple who delivered the message.

The later disciples stiffened their necks and said:

"It's true! I was working in the main hall of the main peak, and heard it from Senior Brother Tang who was guarding the gate of the back hall!"

This sounds familiar...

Everyone thought of this, and then there was an uproar.

In the corner next to them, a man and a woman with similar faces were looking at each other.

Today, Lin Zhen happened to come to Ruyun Peak to talk to his brother. The two of them heard the whole conversation and were stunned.

Lin Cheng said blankly:
"Sister, did you hear what they said? Junior Brother Zhang? Grandmaster?"

He took a while to react:

"Isn't this the Junior Brother Zhang we know?"

"If not him, who else?"

Seeing his brother's stupidity, Lin Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

But her own expression wasn't much better.

Junior Brother Zhang, are you back from your travels?
Already, Grandmaster?

After several years of training, Lin Zhen and Lin Cheng's auras were both quite strong at this moment.

Lin Cheng was stable in the first stage of Qi and blood transformation, while Lin Zhen was also doing pretty well in the first stage of transformation.

After all, she was practicing with Luo Shuang at Yaoyue Peak, so perhaps she would be able to break through to the second transformation realm in the next two years.

Considering their age, qualifications and the fact that they joined the profession halfway, this is already very good.

Not everyone can progress quickly.

If the two of them didn't have the opportunity of the pagoda, they wouldn't even be able to move so fast.

Lin Zhen's aptitude is quite good and he has the potential to become a grandmaster, but this will be a long time in the future.

As for Lin Cheng, his teachers believed that with his extraordinary determination, he had a great chance to become a master of the third transformation realm in ten or twenty years, but if he wanted to break through to the grandmaster level, he would probably need a great opportunity.

But this speed is far behind Zhang Shan's original speed.

Lin Zhen was in a daze for a long time, and his mind gradually became clear.

It seems that my speculations over the years have been true.

If it was Junior Brother Zhang, he couldn't be a Grandmaster now, only he...

Lin Zhen's expression became extremely complicated, and he wanted to rush to the main peak in an instant, but his steps only moved a little.

"Junior Brother Zhang has become a big shot! I wonder what he's been through!"

Although Lin Cheng was shocked, he looked happy and sighed, and did not have as complicated thoughts as Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen nodded silently and said inexplicably:

"Maybe we'll never have the chance to see him again."

"What are you talking about? Junior Brother Zhang is honest and simple, and has a kind heart. Even if he becomes a master, he will not look down on us."

Lin Cheng denied.

Both of them were not interested in other things, so they simply returned to Ruyun Courtyard and continued their communication.

It was just that Lin Cheng was chattering excitedly, while Lin Zhen was absent-minded.

suddenly.

Lin Zhen's mind moved, and he looked at the small courtyard next to him.

The door there is open.

Footsteps sounded, and Xie Yuan walked out of the room, holding a precious sword, looking at the two of them and smiling:

"You two, long time no see."

"Junior Brother Zhang!"

"open……"

Both of them showed a look of surprise, but their expressions were different.

Lin Cheng came over and took Xie Yuan's arm:
"I heard that you have achieved a breakthrough to Grandmaster level?"

"A lucky break."

Xie Yuan said with a smile.

Lin Cheng suddenly showed excitement:
"Congratulations! Oh my god, I was still teaching you martial arts last year, but I didn't expect you to be so far ahead of me!"

As he spoke, he began to feel somewhat uncomfortable, as if there was something separating him from Xie Yuan, and his expression gradually became stiff.

Xie Yuan also recalled the days when he lived with Lin Cheng. He laughed and held his arm:

"Senior Brother Lin has made considerable progress, which is also gratifying."

He looked at Lin Zhen and smiled:

"Senior Sister Lin is still as charming as ever."

Lin Zhen just nodded silently, not knowing how to respond.

Lin Cheng was still immersed in shock and excitement and did not notice the knife in Xie Yuan's hand at all.

But seeing that Xie Yuan had no airs at all, just like always, the scholar also smiled heartily:

"Junior Brother Zhang, now that you're back this time, you won't leave again for a while?"

"No, I just want to see you two, and then I'm leaving right away."

Xie Yuan shook his head.

The Lin brothers and sisters were stunned, both surprised and happy. Especially Lin Zhen, although his expression was complicated, he couldn't help but smile.

But when she thought that he was about to leave, the smile faded.

Xie Yuan took out a bunch of pills from his sleeve, all of which were Xie family's fine products, and handed them to the two of them.

These pills can either help people to make progress or nourish their physical constitution. They were brought by Xie Yuan specifically for this purpose.

Then he took out a booklet and said:
"These are some sword techniques of predecessors. I picked them from the armory... well, the parts that can be circulated, as well as some of my own experience. You may refer to them. Of course, you can follow the instructions of your teachers. You can also ask them for advice. It should be quite helpful."

After Xie Yuan took the things, he handed over two more tokens, then looked at the two of them and sighed:
"I didn't mean to hide the past, please forgive me. Here are two tokens, take them. If there is anything you can't solve, or it's inconvenient to trouble the sect, you can go to the nearby Chenjun Xie branch. If they can't solve it, let them send a message to me, and I will help you.

"I wanted to stay for two more days to catch up with the past, but unfortunately I have things to do and time is limited, so I can only meet again in the future. This time, I may go to the Western Regions. If I find any trace of Lu Lao San, I will use this knife to cut off his head and bring it back."

He hesitated for a moment, then changed back to his original form and bowed to the two of them:

"I'm leaving now. You guys should practice well and we'll see you later."

Lin Cheng stared in amazement as Xie Yuan left with a knife in his hand, and was unable to react for a long time.

After a long while, he shuddered and murmured:
“Wait, what happened?
"How did Junior Brother Zhang become Xie Biaotou?"

Lin Zhen's expression was extremely complicated. She thought that after not seeing him for several years, she had devoted herself to sword training and many of her thoughts had faded. Especially in the past two years, after hearing about his true identity and thinking about the huge difference in status, she just hid her thoughts deep in her heart and stopped even thinking about it.

But who would have thought that they would meet again so suddenly and the news was such a shocking one. Before Lin Zhen could react, he saw him here.

Lin Zhen suddenly realized that the waves in his heart had never subsided.

He was still very loyal and came all the way to see his brother and sister, bringing so many valuable things with him.

He also found the knife, and once he broke through to the Grandmaster level, he thought about avenging them.

He has me in his mind.

But Lin Zhen couldn't be happy.

We only met once and he left again without any more chance for me to say a word.

He certainly remembers himself.

But it seemed to be because of the knife.

But if I didn't have that knife...

Will he come to see me again?

Lin Zhen thought quietly, looking at his brother who still had a confused look on his face, and sighed silently.

It turns out that the farthest distance is not the distance that prevents us from meeting.

A few hundred miles south of Yunshan is the territory of Shuzhou.

Five hundred miles south of the Shuzhou border is the prosperous southwest area, Yizhou Prefecture.

In Yizhou Prefecture, where every inch of land is valuable, there is a mansion that covers a vast area and is extremely luxurious, and its background is certainly extraordinary.

The house of Xie family in Chenjun is here.

A middle-aged man with a calm expression stood in the yard, holding a book in his hand, and was deep in thought.

His face was calm, but his eyes were serious and he seemed a little worried.

Suddenly, a figure fell from the sky and landed in front of him in an instant.

The middle-aged man sensed it early and immediately felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.

Then, he looked at the man whose foot twisted slightly when he landed, with a surprised and serious expression:
"Xie Bing, you actually came here in person?" (End of this chapter)
