Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 381 Two-handed Sword Control

The two of them talked and laughed, killing people indiscriminately in the illusion.

It was clearly a hellish battlefield scene, but Ye Jun knew it was fake, and with the guidance of the great god Yan Yu, he did not feel nervous or afraid at all. He just kept using his sword-wielding skills to strangle all kinds of enemies.

As for the Xuanguang ruler, which she always held in her hand and was ready to use at any time, she casually hung it around her waist.

For the lieutenant, magic weapons in combat must be kept in a state where they can be activated at any time, so strictly speaking, what she did was not in compliance with the regulations - but Ye Jun no longer cared.

I'm not an assistant officer anymore! From today on, my secret identity is the Sword Immortal!

Seeing her high spirits, Yan Yu was also infected by her bright smile and felt an indescribable joy... But it was hard for the Privy Council who was still monitoring the live broadcast outside, and the audience friends who were waiting in front of the TV.

Unfortunately, it didn't take long before the illusion level finally collapsed.

When the two came to their senses again, they found themselves standing at the entrance of the palace square.

In front of us is the East China Sea Palace, with giant clams as pillars, gold and jade as bricks, colored glaze as stones, corals as tiles, and colorful clouds rising as curtains, and the light from the sea and sky hanging down as a pearl curtain, which looks like the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, and even more immortal.

Seeing such a magnificent classical building, Ye Jun could not hide his excitement and pushed Yan Yu from behind.

"Go in and take a look."

"No rush." Yan Yu waved his hand and said, "I'll take a look at the surrounding environment. You stay here first."

He looked around and quickly gathered some general information.

Not surprisingly, flying is prohibited here.

They can fly with swords and perform cloud climbing techniques, but they cannot fly more than 2 meters above the ground, which is a huge restriction for cultivators.

The square in front of the palace gate is very spacious and there is no obstruction.

This means that the square area is not conducive to the Lu country cultivators to use the tactics of defeating the enemy with a small force - there are too many attacks coming from all directions, making it difficult to dodge.

To get from the square to the palace, one first had to climb nine steps. There was a noticeable difference in terrain above and below the steps, and on either side were deeper pools of water, planted with seaweed and lotus flowers, surrounded by white jade railings to prevent anyone from falling in.

Yan Yu tried to attack and found that the flying sword could not leave any marks on the railing, which meant that the secret realm restriction made it indestructible - that is, the defenders could use the railing cover and high ground advantage to hold the upper part and attack the enemies below, but if the enemies below wanted to attack, unless they used projectile attack methods, they would most likely be blocked by the railing.

The entire palace foundation is raised from the ground, surrounded by railings and the Yaochi Pool. Only the three steps facing the main gate can be reached: the two steps on the left and right are narrower, allowing only one person to pass; the step in the center is the widest and more difficult to defend.

Yan Yu took Ye Jun up the stairs and found that there was also a circle of open space for passage between the outer wall of the palace and the outer fence.

But there are no windows on the wall, and it is also indestructible. Everyone can only enter the palace through the main gate, so there is no point in going around the side walls and the back wall.

The main entrance to the palace was a huge wooden door. Yan Yu took a deep breath, raised his hand and pushed the door open.

While the exterior looked magnificent, the interior was extremely empty. Four pillars stood at the four corners, and on the main wall hung a scroll depicting the ethereal-looking Lady of the Nine Heavens. Below it sat an incense table and a cushion.

"So I have to pray to Buddha to receive the reward, right?" Ye Jun complained.

Yan Yu looked around for a moment, then knelt on the mat, bowed down, closed his eyes and prayed.

After a while, a ethereal female voice was heard in the palace:
"Cultivator Yan Yu has passed the sixth level of the trial, becoming the first person to do so this time. His performance is excellent."

"You will receive one of three rewards: 'The Long-Eyebrowed Immortal's Explanation of the Two-Handed Sword Controlling Technique', 'The Huashan Sect's Secret Fiery Thunder Sword Formation', or a water-repellent pearl produced by a three-thousand-year-old clam spirit."

Yan Yu listened carefully, pondering silently. The first two rewards were undoubtedly tailored to his Sword Immortal class. The two-handed sword technique, as seen in the previous encounter with the Azure-robed female immortal in Mirror Lake Temple, was a unique one-on-many secret technique. The user could simultaneously wield two swords, one for attack and one for defense, boosting their combat effectiveness across the board. The sword formation was supposed to be a many-on-many combined attack technique. For example, the Longxiong team, with its three Sword Immortals, could consider using the sword formation.

As for the water-repellent bead, it is a natural treasure that can be used to refine magical instruments. Of course, it itself can also be considered a magical instrument - probably because it sensed that there was a puppet on it.

"My disciple has chosen 'The Outline of the Art of Wielding a Sword with Two Hands Explained by the Immortal Changmei.'" After careful consideration, Yan Yu said in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, countless pieces of information flooded into his mind.

I found myself standing on the top of a mountain. In front of me was an old man with extremely long white eyebrows and a haughty expression. He was explaining to me the key points of the two-handed sword technique:

"What do you think is the key to two-handed swordplay?"

"Uh." Yan Yu said hesitantly, "Multitasking?"

"Wrong! Absolutely wrong!" the Long-Eyebrowed Immortal shouted angrily, "How difficult is it to multitask? Isn't it also multitasking when you eat and read at the same time?"

Yan Yu was too lazy to argue with him and said:
"I am a foolish young man, please teach me..."

"You should call me Master!" The Long-Eyebrowed Immortal knocked on his head and said unhappily, "Although I have only left my spiritual consciousness here and I don't know you, but since you have inherited my mantle, you must acknowledge the master-disciple relationship. Do you understand?"

Why is this old immortal so nagging? Fortunately, he is not my master in reality, otherwise... Yan Yu secretly complained in his heart, but said:

"Disciple remembers it."

"The key to two-handed sword control lies in practicing your swordsmanship to the point where your fingers are as powerful as your arms. Essentially, it's still a test of your swordsmanship, not some fancy multitasking!" The Long-Eyebrowed Immortal spoke eloquently. "Don't control one flying sword while thinking you need to distract yourself with the other. That would be misguided. Think of the two swords as your own two hands. You use your right hand to eat with chopsticks while your left hand flips through a book. Do you need to practice multitasking? No! The same principle applies to two-handed sword control!"

"Disciple understands." Yan Yu said impatiently, "Disciple can eat with his right hand and read with his left hand, but he can't wield a sword with both hands. Master, please enlighten me."

"Hmph, the reason you can't wield the sword with both hands is because the meridians in your left and right arms are different," the Long-Eyebrowed Immortal said coldly. "The meridians in your left hand connect to your heart, liver, and kidneys, while the meridians in your right hand connect to your lungs, spleen, and life gate. Therefore, if you want to circulate Qi in both hands simultaneously, you must use routes that don't interfere with each other..."

I just want to learn this Qi circulation route, why are you telling me to be distracted and do two things at once?
Yan Yu was complaining madly in his heart, but his attention became more and more focused, and he wrote down completely the Qi circulation route mentioned by the Longmei Immortal.

Hmm, interesting... quite a clever design, splitting one Qi flow path into two, each of which can still exist completely independently... Speaking of which, it's a pity I didn't learn the two-handed sword technique in my previous life. Otherwise, I might have been able to turn the tide and make a comeback in the final battle...

"Have you remembered?" The Immortal with long eyebrows raised his eyebrows after he finished speaking.

"Disciple will remember it." Yan Yu nodded.

"Very good." The Immortal with Long Eyebrows paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Besides the Two-handed Sword Control Technique, I also have other techniques to pass down. Do you want to learn them?"

What does that mean? Doesn't Ligong only allow for one reward?

Yan Yu was very experienced and immediately realized that it was this "Long-browed Immortal" who put his own skills into the Li Palace reward inventory, and then stuffed his own goods into it, guiding his disciples to look for his other inheritances.

But the problem is, the Secret Realm of the Palace isn't in this world! Those things you left behind are likely hidden in some secret realm. It's not certain whether they'll ever appear on Earth! If they were in the world of cultivation where Zhao Yuanzhen came from, I could go look for them.

Yan Yu looked down on it in his heart, but said:

"Disciple wants to learn, Master, please teach me."

The long-browed immortal nodded with satisfaction, said four place names, and clapped his hands.

Yan Yu suddenly shuddered and found himself still kneeling on the mat in the palace, with Ye Jun looking at him strangely.
