Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

Both of them have the qualifications of a genius, but neither of them is a perfect celestial being. In this case, Xiang Yutian, who has hundreds of years of cultivation experience, does have a huge advantage.

If Ye Gucheng was not a sword cultivator, and swordsmanship was inherently good at killing, and his combat power and killing were far superior to those of ordinary cultivators, otherwise he would not even be qualified to challenge Xiang Yutian today.

Tsk~~

Ye Gucheng took the first step.

In terms of Qi, he had already lost the initiative, but even so, he remained calm and composed, without any panic or fear. Instead, his fighting spirit became stronger, and he raised his hand and swung out a sword.

The long sword cut through the void, and the sword light made a dragon roar like a dragon. Ye Gucheng's body movement was like a flowing cloud in the sky. It seemed slow, but in fact it was extremely fast. The moment the sword was drawn, the figure attacked Xiang Yutian.

The sword energy was whistling, and even though there were restrictions blocking the river bank, many Hunyuan Sect disciples who were watching the battle along the river bank felt a pain on their faces as if they were being cut by a knife.

Hunyuan Patriarch sighed and said, "Ye Gucheng is relatively low-key in the sect. He has spent most of his time in seclusion practicing since he joined the sect.

I didn't expect that one move would be so powerful!"

He could see that Ye Gucheng was not at the Mahayana realm, but his attainments in swordsmanship had reached a level that was almost divine. When his sword was swung out, the brilliant sword power was like a sword holding up the sky. Its power was so strong that it had definitely reached the Mahayana level.

At least, for the old monsters in the early stage of Mahayana, this sword is enough to make them feel fearful!

scoff!

The sword light tore through Xiang Yutian's figure, but with a swish sound, it seemed like a bubble burst, and the black-robed figure of the Evil Emperor slowly disappeared.

Ye Gucheng's face was calm. He suddenly turned around and slashed with his sword again.

"Sword shadow splits the light, a net of heaven and earth!"

The hot and sharp sword energy broke through the air, one became two, two became three, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of sword energies had spread throughout the void, whistling like windmills, sweeping across the wilderness.

It was visible to the naked eye that Xiang Yutian's figure was constantly being crushed in the void, but it all turned into bubbles and disappeared. It seemed that everything about the other party was illusory and his true body could not be touched at all.

Chapter 881: Strengths and Weaknesses of the Martial Dao Celestial Being

"Ha ha!"

In the void, a demonic shadow emerged, and Xiang Yutian's voice sounded.

"Brother Ye's sword skills are indeed extraordinary. If I didn't have some knowledge of magic skills, it would be difficult to deal with him."

As he spoke, the demonic shadow solidified, revealing its true form. He said, "There's no point in dodging all the time. Brother Ye wants to improve his swordsmanship through battle. If that's the case, then Xiang will lend you a hand!"

After he finished speaking, Xiang Yutian waved his sleeves, and the demonic energy in his hand moved like a small snake, and in a moment, it condensed into a black sword.

"I've also done some research on the way of the sword!"

Ye Gucheng clasped his sword and bowed, "Thank you for your help, Senior!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the long sword in Old Ye's hand flew out like lightning, and the sword light was like rain, stabbing at several vital points of Yutian.

Xiang Yutian laughed heartily, and thrust out the magic sword in his hand as well. The sound of metal clashing with metal weapons rose and fell, getting faster and faster like a violent storm, and the sound of the collisions almost became one continuous sound.

At first, many cultivators in the fusion realm who were watching the fight from the outside could still see the movements of the two, but later on, the two fought faster and faster, their movements became erratic, and finally, they disappeared from sight.

One could only vaguely see that a ray of sword light suddenly appeared above the river, then disappeared, but then reappeared in a certain direction, like a ray of sword light and lightning, bursting out from time to time.

This battle allowed many powerful people in Hunyuan Sect to clearly realize for the first time the power of the martial arts masters of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This kind of power does not lie in how many magic weapons one has or how strong his supernatural powers are, but in this ethereal and unpredictable way of fighting in close combat at the slightest disagreement, which makes many people uncomfortable.

In the eyes of many cultivators, a duel between cultivators is to constantly use their body movements to increase distance, each of them uses their magic weapons, activates their supernatural powers, and fights in real combat.

However, the martial arts masters of the Great Zhou Dynasty were just the opposite.

If you want to keep your distance, I will get close to you.

You want to mobilize your magical powers and use magic weapons, but when I attack, hundreds of attacks will be connected together, leaving you no time to recite spells or make hand seals.

Even the ancestor Hunyuan's expression became very solemn.

The sect disciples could not see the fight between the two, but he saw it very clearly, and had a better understanding of the power of the martial arts master.

If a sword cultivator like Ye Gucheng were to assassinate someone, not to mention cultivators with similar cultivation levels, even those with stronger cultivation levels than him would most likely be killed in one blow!

It's so fast!

That kind of speed was not achieved through magic, nor was it aided by any magical powers or treasures. It was simply due to its fast speed. It seemed that every martial artist from the Great Zhou had a physical strength far exceeding that of the cultivators of the same level in the World of All Spirits.

Song Xuan turned his head to look at the Hunyuan Patriarch and asked, "What did you see?"

Patriarch Hunyuan nodded slightly, "I have seen you, Daoist Xuantian, take action before, but your strength was too strong, and I couldn't see any clues. At this moment, I finally have some understanding of the martial arts heaven!"

"Oh, tell me!"

Hunyuan Patriarch smiled and said, "I won't talk about the strength of the martial arts gods. I will tell you what really shocked me. It's just one word: fast!

To be exact, there was no delay!"

He looked around at the countless disciples of the sects and said, "In the Wanling World, there are countless ways to practice cultivation, but in reality, they all practice the way of heaven! Our power, in essence, comes from this world.

Whether it is the primordial spirit or the Dao fruit, in essence, it is a channel connecting oneself with the heaven and earth.

Mobilizing the primordial spirit and Dao fruit, and performing the so-called spells and magical powers, is essentially a way to communicate with heaven and earth, to use one's own magic power to communicate with the power of heaven and earth, and to transform the power of heaven and earth into powerful magical powers.

This transformation is actually delayed.

Lower-level cultivators need to be transformed through mantras, higher-level cultivators can be transformed through seals, and those at an even higher level can activate their supernatural powers with just a thought emerging in their soul.

But even so, even if you think about it in your mind, it actually takes time, but this time is very short, and this delay can be almost ignored, so you can't notice anything at ordinary times.

But now, compared with martial arts masters like Ye Gucheng and Xiang Yutian, the gap is obvious.

They seemed to have no need to transform the power of heaven and earth, nor did they even need to use their thoughts to activate their spirits to unleash their martial arts abilities. Their fights were more like a kind of fighting instinct.

After a brief silence, Patriarch Hunyuan sighed and said, "Is this the mysterious aspect of the Great Zhou World Law?"

Song Xuan nodded slightly, "That's right, the warriors of the Great Zhou Dynasty have no advantage over the cultivators of the same level in the early stage, but after they begin to open up their inner world, their advantages become apparent.

The inner world is located within one's own body and is completely one's own power, so when they fight, they don't need to consider what you said about transforming the power of heaven and earth.

This also means that the martial arts masters of the Great Zhou Dynasty can fight without any delay and can do whatever they want, relying entirely on their own combat experience and instincts.

So, to outsiders, their fight seemed fast!

Extremely fast, beyond their level of cultivation!

In addition to being able to maximize the speed advantage by attacking without delay, the warriors of the Great Zhou Dynasty have another advantage, which is that they are able to fight no matter what environment they are in!

Even if you are in the restriction of the Dharma Ending Age, you can still rely on your inner world to fight!"

Hunyuan Patriarch was envious. "If that's the case, then aren't the warriors of the Great Zhou invincible?"

"You can't say that!"

Song Xuan explained, "When fighting at the same level, the Great Zhou martial arts celestial beings do have a huge advantage, but after reaching the celestial realm, everyone can only explore the rest of the road on their own.

If you take the right path, you will be recognized by the Great Dao later, and the calamity of decline will come, which will further enhance your strength. But if you take the wrong path, you will be stuck in the realm of heaven and man for your entire life until your lifespan runs out.

Besides this, the warriors of the Great Zhou Dynasty have another obvious weakness."

Hunyuan Patriarch subconsciously asked, "Oh, what weakness?"

But he regretted it right after he asked, and immediately waved his hands, "Haha, I'm sorry for being nosy, you don't have to answer."

In the world of cultivation, it is a taboo to use spiritual sense to detect other people's cultivation without permission, let alone asking about other people's weaknesses.

Song Xuan smiled and didn't say much.

If there are any weaknesses in martial arts, in Song Xuan's opinion, the difficulty of practicing after becoming a celestial being is one aspect, and the other aspect is that it is not durable enough.

The inner world has many advantages. It relies less on the power of the outside world during battle. But because of this, in every battle, the consumption of the warriors of the Great Zhou far exceeds that of the cultivators in the World of Ten Thousand Spirits.

For cultivators in the World of Ten Thousand Spirits, nine out of ten magical powers are powered by the power of heaven and earth, and only one out of ten is consumed by their own magic power.

As for the warriors of the Great Zhou Dynasty, their extremely powerful magical powers actually consumed their own strength and the strength of their inner world.

Unless you are a perfect immortal, few ordinary martial arts immortals are good at protracted battles. They all burst out in an instant and try to end the battle in the shortest time possible.

This shortcoming is very obvious. Song Xuan believes that those martial arts masters are probably aware of it. This is why every martial arts master is a foundation demon.

Crazy laying of foundations, crazy expansion of the inner world, crazy earning of resources to accumulate the foundation of the inner world!

The purpose is to make yourself stronger and more persistent when you need to persist!

Chapter 882 Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

The battle between Ye Gucheng and Xiang Yutian seemed to last for a long time, but in fact, it was an illusion caused by the high frequency of attacks.

Many people mistakenly thought that the two had been fighting for a long time, but in fact it was only the time of a cup of tea.

That’s right, Ye Gucheng’s high-frequency sword burst lasted for about a cup of tea before he was defeated by Xiang Yutian.

Xiang Yutian activated his magical powers and transformed into a thousand-foot giant monster. He punched out like chasing the stars and grabbing the moon. With just one punch, he knocked Ye Gucheng into the river.

"Wow~~"

The river was turbulent, and Ye Gucheng emerged from the water. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, held the sword in one hand, and bowed to Xiang Yutian.

"Thank you, senior, for showing mercy!"

He is a little bit arrogant, but never conceited. If he is not as strong as others, then he is not as strong as others. There is nothing he dare not admit.

He could clearly feel that the opponent was still holding back. If he fought with all his strength, he could defeat him with just one move. As for him, Ye Gucheng, even if his sword energy swept in all directions, he could not expect to hit the opponent.

When the sword intent was unable to lock onto Xiang Yutian, he knew in his heart that he had already lost from the beginning.

Therefore, Ye Gucheng was sincere in his bow.

When someone who is far stronger than you is willing to teach you a lesson, this kindness is indeed worth thanking.

"No need to thank me!"

Xiang Yutian waved his hand and said, "You have already walked your own path in the way of the sword. If you continue along this path, you will catch up with me sooner or later. What you lack now is nothing more than time and accumulation!"

He sighed, "No wonder even the master calls you the Sword Saint. I truly see in you the potential to become a saint through swordsmanship!"

He actually felt pressured when fighting with Ye Gucheng.

Sword cultivators are not easy to deal with, and Ye Gucheng is the best among them. The opponent's attack power has actually touched the threshold of the Mahayana period, and even he dare not underestimate it.

Xiang Yutian didn't want to use his magic power, but in the end he found that he couldn't win without it.

He had experienced the phrase "the young are to be feared" on the Song brothers and sisters in the past, but he was not sad. After all, being surpassed by Wuque Tianren was a very normal thing.

But here in Ye Gucheng, he did feel tremendous pressure.

After leaving the Great Zhou and entering the World of Ten Thousand Spirits, these former geniuses were completely free from constraints, and their future prospects are simply limitless!

Looking around, he saw Bodhidharma, Ah Qing, Dugu Qiubai, Xiaoyaozi and others.

These people were all suppressed by him during the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he was known as the number one person under Wuque.

But now, these people's eyes were eager, and Xiang Yutian felt an extremely strong desire to fight from them!

All of them are eyeing his title as the number one person under the Evil Emperor!

After the battle, Ye Gucheng looked a little embarrassed, but his demeanor remained unchanged. He was wearing white clothes as white as snow, with a long sword on his back. He came to Song Xuan not far away as lightly as a flowing cloud.

"Brother Song, it's been thirty years since we last met, right?"

Ye Gucheng did not feel depressed at all after the defeat. His wet hair and clothes were dried up as he strolled in the virtual space. When he walked to Song Xuan's side, he once again turned into the spirited and unparalleled swordsman Ye Jiansheng!

Song Xuan admires Old Ye for this point.

No matter what kind of blow he has suffered, he has never been discouraged in his heart, let alone decadent and desperate. His heart of pretentiousness will never stop!

"Yeah, thirty years!"

Song Xuan said with emotion: "In the past thirty years, Brother Ye has become stronger, and I have become stronger too. We both have a bright future!"

Song Qian walked up to Old Ye and looked him over carefully before nodding and saying, "Sword Saint Ye, I feel like you seem to be stronger than before the battle just now. Your sword intent seems to be more condensed."

Ye Gucheng was a little surprised, "You can feel this too?"

He held the sword in his left hand, his right hand behind his back, and said with a proud smile, "If I don't make any progress after getting beaten, then wouldn't it have been in vain?"

Song Qian blinked, and a small notebook appeared in her hand. She then quickly recorded something. When Ye Gucheng wanted to take a look out of curiosity, he found that the notebook had been put away.

After doing all this, Victoria Song patted Ye Gucheng's shoulder with a smile, "Old Ye, you are worthy of being me. You always make me feel that there are new things to learn!"

The corners of Ye Gucheng's mouth twitched slightly.

I just said it casually. Miss Song, you don’t think I’m showing off, do you?
