The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 110 Xu Xingchen: Uncle Taishi, I'm a little scared.
Time flies, it passes quickly!
A month has passed since the Shaolin Temple’s battle with “Invincible Easterner”!

During this month, Mount Huashan was extremely lively with people coming and going, as if it had returned to its heyday.

Ever since the leader of Huashan Sect, Yue Buqun, told the people of the Five Mountains Sword Sect the secret of the stone chamber in the belly of the mountain at the back of the mountain after careful consideration, people from the Five Mountains Sword Sect have been arriving in an endless stream.

When he saw the carvings on the stone wall, his defenses broke down at first, and he cried and laughed at the same time, looking dazed and with a blank look in his eyes.

After a few days, he regained consciousness and immediately began to learn his own swordsmanship.
As for the sword techniques of other sects, although he said he would not learn them, that did not stop others from taking a few casual glances at them, and after a few days, he had memorized most of them.

Since returning to Huashan, Xu Xingchen has seldom shown up in the front mountain. Except for occasionally attending one or two meetings, he has been hiding in the cave he opened up in the back mountain, practicing in seclusion!

The leader of the Sun Moon Sect, Ren Woxing, was in seclusion practicing the Yi Jin Jing, and the person he sent to contact the Five Mountains Sword Sect was none other than his daughter, Ren Yingying!
Because people from the Five Mountains Sword Sects gathered in Huashan, Huashan became the contact point for the Five Mountains Sword Sects.

As for Ren Woxing's other assistant, Xiang Wentian, the Heavenly King, was sent to Shaolin Temple and Wudang Sect because of a conflict and hatred with the Songshan Sword Sect among the Five Mountains Sword Sects.
Back mountain, outside the cave!

Xu Xingchen sat cross-legged on a huge rock, looking at the scenery below the mountain, his thoughts in turmoil.

He understood why his master had revealed the secret of the Cliff of Repentance in the Back Mountain. It was simply because he was extremely afraid of "Invincible East" and had a premonition of the difficulty of besieging the Black Wood Cliff in the future.
The master revealed the secret in order to protect himself, hoping to increase the strength of the Five Mountains Sword Sect in a short period of time.

This move of sharpening one's weapons before a battle may be useless against "Invincible East", but it should be of great help to deal with the demon cult members on the Blackwood Cliff.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to put aside his prejudices and temporarily let go of his grudges with the Songshan School!
Yue Buqun and his wife were busy with the reception and greeting of the disciples from the Five Mountains Sword Sects, and other disciples also helped out.

Xu Xingchen used the excuse of practicing meditation to hide away alone in a cave in the back mountain.

Seeking quiet time is one thing, and he is indeed practicing in seclusion, while at the same time thinking hard to solve the problem of the speed of "Dongfang Bubai".

In the battle at Shaolin Temple that day, he used his keen perception of the charm of swordsmanship to perform Huashan swordsmanship. He was not afraid of the swift attack of the red cloud and smoke, and he dealt with it more easily than Zuo Lengchan, who fought him to a draw.

But that was just responding, not fighting!

The "Invincible Easterner" adopted the combat method of "avoiding the enemy's strengths and attacking their weak spots" and did not engage in a fight with him and Master Fangzheng of Shaolin Temple, leaving the two of them almost helpless.

Fortunately, Master Fangzheng seized the opportunity and roared like a Vajra Lion, which frightened "Dongfang Bubai" and injured the opponent in one fell swoop.

Xu Xingchen knew why Master Fang Zheng did not use the Vajra Lion's Roar at the beginning. It was simply because there were too many people at the time, and the Vajra Lion's Roar was a range attack that did not distinguish between friend and foe. If it was not used properly, it would not only fail to intimidate "Dongfang Bubai", but would make the righteous people completely lose their resistance.
He was as helpless as Master Fang Zheng. He tried to use the "No. 1 Sword of Mount Hua" several times, but was defeated by the "Dongfang Invincible"'s touch-and-run style, and he was unable to do so in time.

His "No. 1 Sword of Mount Hua" is extremely powerful, so when facing a normal opponent, there is naturally no problem of speed.

But when it encountered the unrivaled "Eastern Invincible", it showed a little sluggishness when it started.
This question is something Xu Xingchen has never considered before!

In the sky, the sun is scorching hot.

A gust of mountain breeze brought with it a heat that made people feel uneasy.

Xu Xingchen withdrew his gaze from the green waves in the mountains and let out a long sigh.

He returned to the cave, took his sword, went down the mountain, went up the mountain, crossed several hills, and came to a secluded valley.

This place is surrounded by mountains and has no connection with the outside world.

A waterfall hanging upside down from the cliff is the only scenic spot here besides the greenery.

Xu Xingchen dragged the vines on the mountain wall, tapped the protrusions on the rock wall with his toes, and with a few leaps, he reached the bottom of the valley.

Standing on a large rock near the waterfall, looking up at the water pouring down from above, feeling the moist moisture rushing towards him, he slowly closed his eyes.

When your mind becomes completely calm, wisdom will gradually emerge.

I do not know how long it has been
Xu Xingchen drew his sword from its sheath and stabbed it into the void in front of him. Without waiting for the sword light to dissipate, he stabbed out a second sword light from one foot away.

Two sword lights were lined up side by side, and the sword energy stirred each other, suddenly generating a suction force, pulling the nearby water vapor together.
In a blink of an eye, the white water vapor within a few feet around the two sword lights was sucked away.

As the two sword lights dissipated, the ball of white water vapor in the center of the energy slowly rotated and stayed for several breaths before slowly dissipating.

The whole process is like a smoke ring exhaled by a smoker.
shhhhhhhh!

Xu Xingchen thrust out four more swords, still one foot apart from each other, arranged in a square, up, down, left, and right.

The water vapor within a one-foot range around the four sword lights was once again pulled forcefully and quickly gathered towards the center, forming a ball of white water vapor that was much clearer.

After that, there are eight swords, sixteen swords
No matter how many there are, the speed of the swords behind cannot keep up with the speed at which the sword energy in front dissipates, and it is impossible to stimulate the energy between each other and form an effective suction force.

Putting the sword back into the sheath, Xu Xingchen whispered to himself as he looked at the white vapor as big as a washbasin in front of him, which kept flowing and slowly dissipated after a while.

“.You should make Dantian always like an empty box and always like a deep valley. An empty box can store things, and a deep valley can hold water.” “.If there is internal breath, spread it to the various acupoints of Ren Meridian.”

“.There is Qi in Dantian, which spreads to Ren Meridian, like the hollowness of a bamboo, or the emptiness of a valley.”

“.The breath in Dantian spreads to the four limbs, and the Qi in Tanzhong is distributed to the eight meridians.”

".How can I use the power of the Star Absorbing Art without practicing it?"

"Although my Yin-Yang Qi has the power of attraction, it is only the mutual attraction between my own Qi. It does not have the power to attract the Qi of others."

"I'm afraid it won't work if I want to recreate the power of the Star Absorbing Technique through swordsmanship."

"However, the power of the vortex is not only to absorb the true energy of others, but also to people. I need to study it more."

".I don't know if it's too late?!"

Ever since he saw Ren Woxing use the strength of others' fists and palms to amplify the power of "Star Absorbing Technique" several times in that battle and directly grab the figure of "Dongfang Bubai", he had the idea of learning from him.

However, even if one has the mantra of the "Star-Absorbing Technique" by heart, it is not easy to perform it with a different kind of true energy or in another way.

There are many places among them that need him to make modifications!
In the past month, he came to the waterfall in the valley again and again to study swordsmanship. Now, he can only stab out sixteen swords, letting the energy between them affect each other. No matter how much suction force he generates, it will not work.

Close your eyes and continue thinking
Open your eyes and keep experimenting.
Sword lights flashed around Xu Xingchen from time to time; the mist nearby gathered and dispersed from time to time.

Time passes quickly in this constant thinking and experimentation!
When it was getting dark in the valley, Xu Xingchen ended today's experiment, turned around, stepped on the protrusions on the rock wall, grabbed the hanging vines, and climbed to the top of the mountain.

When he returned to his cave, the setting sun was shining, and the sky was filled with red clouds, dyeing the earth and mountains red.

He lit a bonfire, put up a clay pot, boiled water, put in rice, cooked soup or porridge, and heated up two steamed buns, which was his evening food.

When it comes to food and drink, Xu Xingchen has always been simple and has not had too many demands.

After dinner, he took out a Taoist book from the bookcase beside him and read it carefully beside the jumping campfire.

He had read through the Taoist classics collected in Huashan countless times. The classics he was reading now were all the collections of the sect that he asked people from the other four sects of the Five Mountains Sword Sect to bring back.

With his current martial arts skills and fame, the request he made was naturally taken seriously by others.

Not to mention the Hengshan School, the Hengshan School, and the Taishan School, even to the Songshan School that was at odds with the Huashan School, Zuo Lengchan sent people to deliver a few copies as a token of his appreciation!
The Taoist classics written by these Taoist predecessors explained the principles of heaven, earth and nature from different directions and angles, which brought Xu Xingchen many different insights and experiences, and his knowledge reserves were expanded again.

Reading till late at night.
He didn't know how many times he added dry firewood to the campfire until he woke up from a cough outside the cave.

When he walked out of the cave, he saw a thin figure standing under a tree not far away. He bowed and said, "It turns out that it is Master Feng. I am sorry for being so rude!"

There is only a crescent moon in the sky tonight, and the mountains and forests are much darker.

But for people like Feng Qingyang and Xu Xingchen who have profound internal skills, as long as there is a little light, they can see many things clearly!

Feng Qingyang still looked the same, with thin cheeks, skin as white as gold paper, and a hint of depression between his brows.

"Boy, your alertness is much worse than last time. I came to the cave for a long time, but you didn't notice it. Are you uneasy?"

Xu Xingchen smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, Uncle Grandmaster, I have been feeling a little uneasy lately!"

Feng Qingyang said calmly: "Is it also because of Dongfang Bubai?"

Xu Xingchen said: "It seems that the Grand Master has learned about the situation from the Senior Brother."

Feng Qingyang snorted coldly: "Not only is Chong'er uneasy, isn't your master the same?"

"If Yue Buqun wasn't feeling uneasy, why would he reveal the secrets of Siguo Cliff Mountain?!"

Xu Xingchen automatically filtered out the disrespectful words towards his master, and said with an apologetic look on his face: "Huashan Sect has indeed been quite noisy recently, especially at the Siguo Cliff in the back mountain. I'm afraid that this has disturbed the peace of Grand Master Uncle!"

"It doesn't matter if I disturb them or not. If they come, I will just avoid them!" Feng Qingyang said this, and his tone finally became serious: "Is Dongfang Bubai really that powerful?"

Xu Xingchen smiled bitterly again: "Uncle Taishi, I'm a little scared."
