Ancestor Dugu frowned slightly, "Sword cultivation must be done step by step and don't aim too high."

Mo Hua nodded and said: "Ancestor, you are right, but you also said that the way of swordsmanship must have a beginning and an end. It has both a starting point and an end point, so that it will have a direction."

"I practice sword energy every day now, which is the starting point of the way of swordsmanship. The sword moves with spiritual thoughts turned into swords are the end point. Only with a beginning and an end can I have the direction to work hard to learn swordsmanship."

Ancestor Dugu was startled.

This child talks very eloquently and keeps talking one thing after another.

It is different from all the kendo disciples he taught before.

This child has a clear Taoist heart, is sincere towards others, and has a natural temperament. Although he respects himself, he is not at all like other disciples who are timid and restrained in every possible way.

The former disciples, even Xuan'er, were in awe of his ancestor and did not dare to say too many words when preaching and teaching.

Not to mention someone like Mo Hua, who always asks a bunch of weird questions and makes small requests from time to time...

But he is right. Although it is important to lay a solid foundation for practicing swordsmanship, goals and directions are equally important.

After all, you have to let him know what he is studying for.

Ancestor Dugu nodded, "Okay, I'll tell you briefly."

Mo Hua perked up and said quickly: "Thank you, ancestor!"

Then he sat upright and listened intently.

Ancestor Dugu thought deeply for a moment and said slowly: "From the sword, cultivate the sword energy, transform the sword intention, and then there is the divine sword style behind it."

"There are four sword styles that can be used to transform spiritual thoughts into swords, which are sword transformation, god startling, god breaking, and god slaying. These four styles are not independent of each other, but progress from shallow to deep, step by step..."

"The Sword Transformation Style is the foundation and the introduction. It is the process of further manifesting the sword's intention, shaping the shape of the sword, and changing from real to virtual, and from virtual to real."

"This sword move may seem basic, but it contains profound meaning of the sword. From then on, the virtual 'sword intention' has become a real 'sword shape'."

"But the essence of the 'real' sword shape is still the 'virtual' sword intention."

"There is an alternation of virtuality and reality, both virtuality and reality. You can't realize it now, but in the future..."

Having said this, Patriarch Dugu paused and suddenly realized that he had not taught a Foundation Establishment disciple for a long time, and he had accidentally gone too far.

The way of virtuality and reality, this is the experience of Dongxu Realm. It is too early to tell this child now...

But when he turned around, he saw that Mo Hua's eyes were shining and he was listening with great interest. He didn't know whether he really listened or just pretended to understand.

"These things... you will understand them when you reach a certain level in the future."

Ancestor Dugu then continued:

"The Sword Transformation Style is the foundation and an introduction, but it is too weak after all. Even if the sword is transformed, it still needs to be carefully nurtured. It cannot be used easily, let alone kill people..."

"Therefore, if you want to use your spiritual thoughts to transform your sword into actual combat, you have to use an advanced sword style, the Jingshen Style."

When Mo Hua heard this, he couldn't help being stunned.

As soon as he understood the "Sword Transformation Style", he excitedly used it to kill everyone.

So far, he has killed countless demons and evil spirits using the "Sword Transformation Style", including even evil gods.

As a result, the ancestor told him at this time that the "Sword Transformation Style" was not used to cut people at all...

This thing is actually just an "embryo" that needs to be carefully nurtured...

Mo Hua suddenly felt very complicated.

Patriarch Dugu didn't know what Mo Hua was thinking, so he continued to explain to him:

"The Jingshen Style is the sharp sword intention that has been honed for decades or even hundreds of years by swordsmen, further integrated into the 'Sword Transformation Style', and then through the soul, it is attempted to 'leave the body'."

"As long as your sword intention is strong enough and sharpened enough, the more terrifying your sword intention will be to others when it comes out of your body."

"Even monks who have a pure sword heart and have perfected the 'Shocking Sword' to the extreme, when fighting, just showing a trace of sword intention is enough to scare the enemy and make them fear without fighting."

"When the sword enters, it contains murderous intent, and when the sword comes out, it frightens ghosts and gods."

…

This is considered a formal training method for Jingshen Sword.

Mo Hua nodded.

Although Shen Nian Sword Cultivation is tainted with the word "Shen Nian", at its root, all methods start with "sword", proceed from the sword to the Tao, and use the powerful sword intention to intimidate the opponent.

My own "Shocking Sword" is a bit like "opportunistic."

He was not good at swordsmanship, so he borrowed the method of "Refining Evil" from the Water Prison Sect and transformed it into use. Therefore, when he used the Eye Technique to frighten the enemy, it was not just the sword power that frightened him, but also relying on the Dao Prison mind and the Xing Prison.

Pain, intimidation, and fear.

It’s hard to say which one is better or worse in ink painting.

But my eye skills are definitely "unorthodox".

But if you have learned everything, you can never lose it halfway.

Moreover, the orthodox "Shocking Sword" does not conflict with his own seven soul "Sword Pupil" technique.

On the contrary, if you learn the orthodox Jingshen Sword well, your eye skills will actually become stronger.

In the future, Mo Hua has an idea of ​​the future advancement of the Jingshen Sword.

Ancestor Dugu had already mentioned the Sword Transformation Style and the God Shocking Style. Mo Hua probably knew it in his mind, so he asked again: "Ancestor, what about the God Breaking Style?"

Ancestor Dugu said solemnly: "There is a big difference between the God-Breaking Style and the God-Slaying Style. The Sword-Transforming Style is for getting started, and the Shocking God-Style is for opening your mind. But after you have mastered the God-Breaking Style, you can only achieve success by transforming your spiritual thoughts into swords.

Only when you have mastered the God-Slaying Style can you be considered a master, and you can walk around and slay demons."

"Oh!" Mo Hua looked expectantly.

Ancestor Dugu's eyes narrowed: "The Broken Sword Style condenses the sword's intention and converges it at one point. The lethality is not great, but the penetrating power is strong."

"Some evil spirits in the world have innate methods, evil thoughts, and evil spirits. Their outer skin is as hard as iron."

"Only by breaking its armor can you break its soul."

"On the contrary, if the armor cannot be broken, no matter how much sword energy you use, it will not be able to damage it at all..."

"The Sword-Breaking Style, practiced to a high and deep level, can break all evil spirits and demonic armor."

Mo Hua was slightly startled.

Sword breaking style... armor breaking?

Does the demon... have any armor?

He thought about it for a moment, and then he remembered that among the countless demons he killed, it seemed that a small number of them were indeed wearing "armor".

This kind of "armor" looks very primitive.

Some are like ordinary thick iron, and some are more like the hair and scales of the demon itself.

And when he strangles these monsters to death, these "armours" will indeed feel harder.

But in the way of spiritual thought, he can "break all laws with one force."

No matter how hard the demon armor was, even if he punched it several times, it would be completely broken.

If his ancestor hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have realized that this "A" actually had another explanation.

As expected, there are quite a lot of things to pay attention to in the way of spiritual thought...

At this time, Patriarch Dugu finally talked about the last move.

"God-killing sword..."

Ancestor Dugu's eyes revealed a hint of sharpness, "This is the most powerful move in Taixu's Divine Mind Transformation Sword Art, and it is also the most powerful move..."

Mo Hua perked up and his ears stood up.

Ancestor Dugu continued: "...it is the most powerful, but also the most difficult to learn."

"With the God-Slaying Sword, if you want to kill people, demons, demons, and finally gods, the first thing you have to kill is yourself."

"Use the sword's will to continuously temper your life soul until the two finally merge into one."

"The sword is life and soul."

"In this way, the soul will also have the shape of a sword, which can kill all things with spiritual thoughts."

"This is a process in which a sword cultivator completely integrates his own sword, his own way, his own life, and his own soul."

"This process will be very painful and must be done with extreme caution."

"Especially in the process of quenching the soul with the sword, the damage caused by the sword's intention to the soul will be very huge. If you are not careful, if you fail to practice the god-killing style, you will cut off your own soul..."

Ancestor Dugu looked extremely solemn.

Obviously, this example of practicing beheading gods and being killed by oneself is not an exception in the history of Taixu Sect.

But Mo Hua's heart moved and he couldn't help but ask:

"Old Ancestor, you use a sword to temper your soul and kill your soul. How do you cultivate it?"

Ancestor Dugu said silently:
To be continued...
