Chapter 880 What is true?
In the second year, Huan Yin no longer persisted in understanding the deeper source of Yang. Because he could feel that the conditions and opportunities he had now were far from enough. If he forced himself to realize it, it would only be a waste of time.
This year, Huan Yin chose to walk down from the cloud platform and enter the military pavilion to learn sword making from Wei Bing.
Sword-making is a craft and an indispensable skill for Huan Yin. If Huan Yin didn't know how to make swords in his life, even if he still had powerful means and the "Infinite Sutra", he would probably have died thousands of times. After all, magical weapons are a great help to monks, and even beings like the Infinite Venerable have to forge swords themselves.
Spending a whole year learning to make swords was not a long time at all for Huan Yin. Especially when studying with Wei Bing, the number one master of weapon refining in the human world, not to mention one year, even tens of millions of years would not be enough.
This year, Huan Yin studied very seriously, and the master Wei Bing also taught attentively. He even specially introduced a lot of heavenly weapon refining materials to Huan Yin who was about to go to heaven, and some even brought out real objects. .
The learning process is inseparable from teaching by words and deeds, and naturally it is also inseparable from hands-on practice. So during this year, in addition to listening to Wei Bing's teachings and watching Wei Bing's hands-on drills, Huan Yin would also start practicing from time to time to make the learning effect better.
Huan Yin's last practice in this year can also be regarded as a self-test of his studies this year, or it is the last report card he handed to Wei Bing before leaving the army, which is to practice again. Xingtian.
This time, perhaps because Wei Bing was giving guidance, or because Huan Yin hoped to reassure Wei Bing, he did it more boldly than ever before. He chose to add two attributes to Xingtian at once, namely fire and yang, which he had realized the source of but had not yet added. At the same time, Huan Yin will naturally not forget to deepen the persistence in his sword. After all, this is the essence of what is described in "Infinite Sword", and it is also the key to making the immortal sword truly break through the eleventh level and enter the realm of weapon saint attainments.
The whole process was not easy for Wei Bing. For Huan Yin, the apprentice, there are naturally many difficulties. During this period, Huan Yin spent a lot of time and energy, wasted a lot of materials, and experienced many near-failures.
But fortunately, Huang Tian finally paid off. No matter what he went through, Huan Yin finally succeeded in one fell swoop and handed over a qualified report card to Wei Bing.
Xingtian, who has undergone extensive training again, is different from before. This time, the entire five-foot-long sword's edge was completely covered in bright fiery red ripples, as if it had been dyed with a layer of bright color. And if Xing Tian is exposed to the sun again, he will find that the fiery red ripples seem to come alive and can flow on their own, and during the flow, they will burst out with light like sunlight.
Obviously, the fiery red ripples are undoubtedly the representation of the flame attribute. And the changes under the sunlight are manifestations of the attribute of Yang. These two appearances actually represent Huan Yin's success in cultivation this time. Both of these appearances are displayed through the fiery red ripples, which can be said to be integrated into one, which illustrates the perfect combination of the flame attribute and the Yang attribute in Xingtian. In other words, Huan Yin not only succeeded in adding two attributes to Xingtian at once, but also made the two added attributes echo each other and complement each other.
This result is more ingenious than adding different attributes twice, and it will benefit Xingtian more. It can be seen from this that Huan Yin really did not waste this year. Under the guidance of Wei Bing, his sword-making skills once again improved and improved a lot.
However, Huan Yin's biggest success this year was not his success in adding two attributes at once, but his determination to add his own into Xingtian.
This year, Huan Yin thoroughly studied the middle volume of "Infinite Sword", and Wei Bing fully imparted his understanding of the meaning of the sword. Huan Yin benefited a lot from the sword god. And such gains were naturally directly reflected in Huan Yin's entire sword-making process and displayed above Xingtian.
Although the strength of determination contained in Xing Tian now is far from complete, it is at least ten times stronger than the last time Huan Yin joined the determination. In this way, even if Huan Yin hadn't come to wave Xing Tian, his persistence could still be expressed lightly. This is called the sword naturally containing God, without the need to deliberately inject it.
Such a change can be regarded as a qualitative change in the realm of sword making, and it represents Huan Yin's real step towards becoming a weapon saint. Perhaps this step is a little insignificant, but without this step, Huan Yin would still be just an ordinary weapon immortal.
Judging from Xing Tian's current state, if Huan Yin were to wield a sword, I am afraid that the strength of determination contained in his sword light would be able to shake the mighty and have frightening power. In this way, each of Huan Yin's swords from now on will not only be as simple as before, but also one sword equal to two swords, making it difficult to guard against and defend against.
However, although Huan Yin's sword-making was a huge success this time, there was one thing that surprised him. Huan Yin originally thought that after he successfully added two attributes to Xingtian and greatly increased his sword power, Xingtian would be able to successfully climb two levels and enter the eleventh level. However, this is not the case.
After Xing Tian entered the super tenth level, it became extremely difficult to climb up the level. In the end, even though Huan Yin succeeded again and again, Xing Tian seemed to have hit a bottleneck and could no longer climb up.
Wei Bing gave an explanation for this unexpected phenomenon. That is, forging swords is just like practicing as a monk. The higher the level, the more difficult it is to continue improving. So now, even though Xingtian has been added with two attributes and a lot of sword intent at once, he still has not been able to successfully break through.
However, Huan Yin could feel that Xing Tian was not far from a real breakthrough. This success can become the foundation for Xingtian's next leap. Maybe next time Huan Yin adds another attribute, Xing Tian will be completely different.
After the second year, Huan Yin only had one year left in Ziyin Sect, or in other words, he only had one year left in the human world. This year, Huan Yin no longer focused on any single thing, did not seek to improve his cultivation, nor did he seek to make his magic weapon more powerful.
Huan Yin knew very well in his heart that his qualifications were unparalleled in the three realms and his understanding was high, so his speed in cultivation was unusually fast compared to ordinary people's, even in gaining source power. But if you do it too quickly, your foundation will often appear unstable and unstable. And if things go on like this for a long time, the whole person will become vain. In the end, no matter how high the cultivation level is, it will probably become a superficial thing.
Therefore, Huan Yin needed to fully settle down, so he spent his time on some seemingly trivial and unrelated things. Sometimes he consults Guangchengzi for swordsmanship, sometimes he learns techniques from Wei Bing, sometimes he competes with fellow disciples, and sometimes he indulges himself in classics, as if he has no focus at all.
Huan Yin feels that although doing these things does not require special concentration and does not bring about obvious growth in strength, it can lay a solid foundation for himself in details. In other words, seeking the small path instead of the big road is the best way to get rid of vanity and fully settle down.
However, although on the surface it seems that Huan Yin's cultivation has no focus at all, in Huan Yin's heart he actually has a focus. This focus made Huan Yin spend almost all his time studying secretly, except for those seemingly trivial things, just to find an answer. But this focus sounds very simple. It is that Huan Yin wants to know what is "true".
In fact, Huan Yin had thought about this question many times since he first came into contact with Xuanyuan Sword. And as his own cultivation level became higher and higher and he understood more and more avenues, this problem became more and more prominent. He found that the stronger he became, the more he discovered that this problem was in obvious conflict with all his Taoism.
Because no matter how profound the Taoism is, when it comes to Xuanyuan Sword, it seems that it has become fake and can be easily destroyed by one sword. Only the feeling of holding the Xuanyuan Sword is the greatest reality.
As for the real problem, there was another upgrade in Huan Yin's mind, that is, after he met the beast mother and started practicing spiritual seance. The spirit guide said: All animals are delusional. Falsehood is falsehood, the opposite of truth. This statement seems to be exactly opposite to the truth of Xuanyuan Sword, but if you analyze it carefully, you will find that different paths lead to the same goal.
To say that the way of animals is false, if the word "animal" is removed, it becomes "the way of animals is false." In this way, wouldn't it give people the same feeling as Xuanyuan Sword, as if all the great ways in the world are fake?
Huan Yin has been cultivating all his life, and he is the first to not believe it if he is told that everything he has worked so hard for is fake. However, Xuanyuan Sword and Soul Conjuring, two things related to the mysterious ancient times, seemed to be completely opposite to the Tao that Huan Yin had seen, so Huan Yin had to have some thoughts in his mind.
Looking through the classics, Huan Yin actually looked up issues related to truth and falsehood many times. Naturally, he thought and deliberated a lot in private. At the same time, he did not forget to ask Wei Bing and Guangchengzi for advice, hoping to get the answer.
Speaking of which, even Huan Yin himself didn't know why he was so keen on such a simple question. If it had been anyone else, I would have forgotten this issue long ago. After all, wouldn’t it seem a bit foolish to spend time pondering this issue over and over instead of practicing?
What Huan Yin knew was that he just couldn't let go and wanted to think about it over and over again. It seemed that in his subconscious mind, seeking the answer to this question had become the pursuit of the avenue, even a higher level thing than that. Huan Yin only felt that this simple question seemed to contain a huge mystery, or a shocking secret, or even a huge lie.
