Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 220 Start of Construction

[…Deduction completed.]

"The Nine-Nine Calamity Ashes Divine Sword".

Decaying and delusional thoughts, whether arising internally or influenced externally, are like ashes of a calamity, buried layer upon layer, leading to an early end.

However, even in the ashes of calamity, there is still warmth; even in delusions, there is still delusion.

The true wonder of sword intent visualization lies in its ability to absorb residual heat and melt away the heart's obsession.

After eighty-one trials, its brilliance shines brightly, reaching for the wild geese in the clouds.

A fire beneath the embers, a sword strike that astounds the gods!

In this deduction, Chu Tianshu naturally chose the divided spirit of the God of Flowing Waves as the main characteristic.

The remaining evil spirits are fused into this trait, and then the cultivation technique is optimized.

I thought it might be something like "Sixteen Deadly Swords", but unexpectedly, it turned into a sword manual with a name that was seven characters long.

When the contents of past training methods flowed into my mind, they were like a gentle stream.

But this time, perhaps because of the Fifteen Deadly Swords, which places particular emphasis on the cultivation of sword intent.

When the contents of the cultivation method flooded into my mind, it seemed even more intense.

Hundreds of black, humanoid images, wreathed in flames and ever-changing, appeared in his mind all at once.

The uproar lasted for more than ten seconds before finally subsiding.

The extreme silence brought with it a profound sense of desolate stillness.

Chu Tianshu sat cross-legged without moving, his eyes closed and lips pursed.

You could see from his eyelids that his eyes had changed from being very restless and darting around to being as still as a wooden or clay sculpture.

However, his bodily functions were still working, and his shallow breathing became stronger at a certain moment.

He took a deep breath, straightened his back, and opened his eyes.

In the sword manual of the Fifteen Deadly Swords, Lu Shuangyan mentioned that when she first comprehended the sword intent, she was single-minded and only sought sharpness.

That mindset is like the Chengying Sword in "Liezi: Tang Wen".

The book says that the Shang Dynasty emperor had three swords, one of which was named Chengying.

When Cheng Ying was first forged, the hilt was simple, and the blade was transparent, almost invisible. Only at dusk could a faint shadow be seen.

But this sword is extremely sharp and refined.

When the dragon swam by, it was easily cut in half by the sword's shadow; when the wild goose landed, it was also shot by the sword's light and had no intention of returning to the sky.

The dragon divides its shadow, the wild goose falls and forgets to return.

However, if the sword intent is refined to that level, Lu Shuangyan's sword energy will also undergo some changes.

However, his meridians could not withstand its sharpness, and he experienced a stinging sensation.

Unable to adapt to that state, his sword intent changed, and he no longer sought the purest and most refined sharpness.

Therefore, Lu Shuangyan never truly experienced the swordsmanship realm of "the wild goose forgets to return home".

However, this simulation was clearly an optimization of that route.

After eighty-one trials, its brilliance shines brightly, reaching for the wild geese in the clouds.

Ashes, furnace, sword forged—each step is a profound purification of one's will.

"Hmm, this sword style, combined with the sword spirit I created using the 'Lesser Yang Blood River Chariot', is just right."

After sitting quietly for a long time, Chu Tianshu transformed his mental energy into a bit of sword intent, lowered his fingertips to his waist, and fed it to the sword spirit.

The Three-Seven Divine Sword suddenly trembled, its head and tail straightened, and it sprang into the air from his waist.

Chu Tianshu reached out and grabbed the sword hilt.

I felt the sword tip humming softly, and the sword spirit was excited, unwilling to coil around it any longer.

"I'm not really willing to bend over."

Chu Tianshu clearly sensed the sword spirit's emotions.

In that case, it's not really appropriate for him to carry this sword around his body when he's contemplating sword intent in the future.

Hmm, I'll make a scabbard for the Three-Seven Sword when I have time.

Chu Tianshu walked out the door with his sword in his hand, but after thinking for a moment, he went around to the back of the temple.

The altar was not demolished; only Ma Lingbai's body and the iron rod were removed.

Chu Tianshu stepped onto the altar and looked down the hillside. He felt that the sky was high and the earth was vast, and he felt relaxed and happy.

The Ashes Sword Technique, while primarily focused on sword intent, also includes numerous sword moves.

Having just grasped the essence of this new martial art, Chu Tianshu found everything fascinating and began practicing it with great enthusiasm.

When practicing this sword technique alone, the key is to go slowly.

The slower the better; relying solely on movement will gradually accumulate signs of decay.

Chu Tianshu practiced once at normal speed first.

On the altar, it seemed as if six or seven afterimages had split off, circling and floating, rising and falling as if dancing with swords.

After practicing that, he planned to practice slowly to experience the difference and highlight the essence of slow practice.

The wind howled across the fields, and the sun blazed fiercely. As evening fell, the temperature grew colder and colder.

Chu Tianshu stayed at the Deer King Temple for several days.

Watching as batches of puppet carriers were sent down from reality, imbued with living souls, to go out and do their work.

The vast majority of the new people sent down recently are not sorcerers, but martial artists.

Although they lack telekinesis, their spiritual strength is higher than that of ordinary people through martial arts training.

The cranes and others had their bodies placed in recuperation equipment, while their souls were attached to specially made carriers.

In this way, when they move around in the spirit world, they can also demonstrate superhuman physical strength.

Every now and then, let them take turns returning to their own bodies to recuperate.

According to some signs summarized by Feng Jianhua.

The experience of cultivating using a vessel in the spirit world may also help these people break through their original bottlenecks, making them more effective when they take the spiritual medicine after it is harvested in the future.

With these people leading the way, testing the geology, and surveying the terrain, the most reasonable excavation plan can be devised.

The plan developed by Xianhe and his team also took into account the need to lay a solid foundation for the first canal.

This will make it easier to connect with other villages and waterways on Bo Ye Island in the future.

The number of people mobilized this time was certainly not small, but many of them were servants of God who had come to the labor camp.

In addition, after inventorying the granaries of the seven wizarding factions, some grain can be allocated from Fanliang Land and distributed to the able-bodied men of Luye Village.

Such a project will not place too much burden on Luyezhuang, but will instead solve the problem of feeding the young and strong in the village.

Lu Touqiu was overjoyed, and he couldn't stop smiling every time he came to the temple to welcome the new members of the construction team.

With each new batch of members, there's one more group of young and strong people to work with, and the village saves some grain.

On this day, Lu Touqiu went around to the back of the temple to find Chu Tianshu.

He didn't come alone; he was accompanied by Captain Liu from the construction team.

The team leader looked to be between forty and fifty years old, but he was very energetic and wore a safety helmet made of yellow bamboo strips.

Chu Tianshu had seen him a few times. At that time, he was either holding various measuring instruments or a list of personnel.

Today, however, he was holding a hoe, with a large red flower tied to the handle with a red cloth, which looked very festive.

"This is what you are doing?"

Chu Tianshu sheathed his sword and stood there. The scabbard, which he had carved himself from wood, was unpainted, but it felt very smooth to the touch.

When the Three-Seven Sword was sheathed, it made a soft click, which brought a sense of peace.

Lu Touqiu laughed and said, "My Lord, we need to hold a groundbreaking ceremony, so we need to find someone to dig the first hoe."

"When I mentioned it to Captain Liu, everyone immediately agreed and decided to invite the Divine Child."

Chu Tianshu looked at Captain Liu with a puzzled expression.

It's one thing for Deer Head Hill to be involved, but why did Captain Liu have to join in the fun?

"It's a long-standing custom to hold a ceremony to burn incense and break ground when construction begins. Most of us in the construction industry believe in this."

Captain Liu walked up with a smile, "Mr. Chu, we are all here thanks to you. We also feel that it would be most auspicious for you to dig the first shovel."

Chu Tianshu had no choice but to take the hoe.

Lu Touqiu was overjoyed and immediately led him to the agreed-upon construction site.

It was a low-lying area, but the soil had long since dried up and cracked.

Thousands of people crowded here, whether they were from the Special Police Engineering Team or the young men of Luye Village, their faces all showed the same excitement.

A dozen or so bonfires were burning nearby. When Chu Tianshu was seen coming from afar, someone threw bamboo sections from the side into the fire.

The sound of firecrackers was no less than that of firecrackers.

Chu Tianshu glanced around and was surprised to find that his second grandfather was also mixed in with the crowd.

The old man was holding a compass and talking to the people around him. When he noticed Chu Tianshu coming over, he took the opportunity to push the people around him aside and wave to Chu Tianshu.

Chu Tianshu was both amused and exasperated.

He heard from Brother Bai Sui that Second Master Chu was at Yao Qianshu's house at the time, and he was extremely worried and restless.

As a result, after the crane brought the person down, the old man only met Chu Tianshu briefly before leaving with the construction team and disappearing without a trace.

Including today's groundbreaking ceremony, this is only the second time the grandfather and grandson have met in the spirit world.

Captain Liu handed over three sticks of incense, explaining, "This isn't for honoring ghosts or gods, but for honoring this land."

Chu Tianshu placed the hoe on the ground, took the incense, and, also moved by the atmosphere, solemnly bowed to the four directions of heaven and earth.

Although this world is inhabited by many spirits and deities, it is unknown how many people it has nurtured.

I've grown millet, grass, and medicinal herbs.

Next, please nurture the people who have been separated from the world for a thousand years.

Everyone fell silent, and only the sound of the fire could be heard in the room.

Three incense sticks were stuck in the mud bricks on the side.

Chu Tianshu grabbed the hoe, aimed at the spot designated by Captain Liu, and swung it down.
