"The only book that summarizes the queen's understanding of swordsmanship, 'The Theory of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady's Gift of Sword and Unity', is worth reading."
"You should learn more about the Five Spirits Immortal Technique, combine your own talents and attributes, and develop your own Immortal Technique."
Not necessarily.
Hu Xiuwu did not completely agree with Kui Yu's words. He agreed with what Kui Yu said about developing his own unique magic. In the original work, Xiuwu combined swordsmanship and magic to develop the Shenmu Sword Technique, which was very powerful. He could even defeat Kui Yu in the later period, and even Chonglou could defeat him with a few moves.
What Kui Yu said was right, but that didn’t mean that these secret manuals were worthless as she said.
The gods think themselves extraordinary and that the strength of their souls and bodies are naturally at the top of the three realms, so they only practice martial arts and neglect the cultivation of life. In addition, they look down on and ignore the immortals who ascend to heaven, so naturally they do not think that the mental methods of the mortal world are anything special.
Even Kui Yu is no exception. These gods look at people just like people look at cats and dogs. The vicious ones will kill cats and dogs for no reason, while the friendly ones will give them food. But no matter whether they are vicious or friendly, they always have a condescending attitude, and neither of them put cats and dogs on an equal footing.
The same goes for God.
However, those monks who can achieve enlightenment and become immortals and ascend to the fairyland are all the most outstanding and talented elites among mankind. The skills that they can bring to the fairyland and offer to the Queen Mother of the West all shine with the light of mankind's top wisdom.
The mysteries of transformation and attaining immortality contained in it are also of reference value to Hu Xiuwu.
He is not a true god, he will not stop here and enjoy himself.
Hu Xiuwu's enthusiasm for these skills has not dissipated, and that burning emotion makes it impossible for Kui Yu to ignore it.
She could only sigh and advise, "If you are really interested, you should use your free time to read these classics after you have achieved success in your cultivation. Don't let the Queen down."
It feels like a teacher advising students to finish their homework first before studying.
"Yes."
Hu Xiuwu was good at listening to other people's advice, so although he was very interested in the mental methods of various sects, he only took away "Five Spirits Immortal Art" and "Principles of Five Spirits Talismans" at first.
"There is a quiet room next to it. If you have any questions, you can ask me."
He took Hu Xiuwu to the quiet room next door and let him read first. After meeting the Queen Mother of the West, he took Hu Xiuwu directly to the library. The military affairs at the training ground were busy and the training could not be missed.
Kui Yu has not yet arranged the follow-up of other work. At this moment, she has to arrange the military affairs of the Tianbing first and entrust them to other trusted subordinates before she can guide Hu Xiuwu with peace of mind.
Originally, Kui Yu thought that Hu Xiuwu, who had no foundation at all, would not understand many things when faced with the obscure magic, and might need her to answer his questions and resolve his confusion, so she planned to make time to teach him specifically.
However, Kui Yu underestimated Hu Xiuwu's learning ability, not to mention that he also had some special skills.
Hu Xiuwu first picked up the "Purpose of the Five Spirit Talismans" on the table and flipped through it.
The Yang world cultivates the five elements, while the Xianjian world talks about the five spirits. Although the Xianjian world is derived from the Yang world, the way of drawing talismans is similar but not the same. It's like Chinese and Japanese, although most of the characters are borrowed, the language systems inside are very different.
You can guess words or short sentences, but if they are written as articles, you must study them systematically to truly understand them.
To draw a perfect talisman is equivalent to being able to write a regular poem independently after learning the language, which requires a lot of time and hard work.
Hu Xiuwu was born in the Shangqing sect of the talisman school, so he knew all these things very well. Even so, he still picked up "The Principles of the Five Spirit Talismans" first, and naturally he had a plan in mind.
The Tongtian Talisman is his confidence.
The Tongtian Lu among the Eight Wonders is always looked down upon by people, who think that it is not as magical as the other wonders, and its power in Lu Jin's hands seems just so-so.
That’s because the magic of Tongtian Talisman is not in fighting, but in unifying the talismans and making the writing consistent.
Originally, each school has a different way of drawing, and the talismans that contain different understandings of Taoism can all be drawn using the secrets of Tongtian Talisman, just like the grand unified theory that physics has been pursuing and regarded as the holy grail.
Tongtianlu has found the universal interpretation of talismans, and can interpret the texts of hundreds of schools with one person's own opinion.
If he had not been involved in the turmoil of the Jiashen Rebellion, if Zheng Zibu was given more time, he would probably have been able to incorporate even Western runes into the system of Tongtian Lu.
Lu Jin just picked up an opportunity. The Tongtian Talisman could only be used in his hands, and no new talisman was filled in. If it had not fallen into the hands of Hu Xiuwu later, the sacred object would have been covered in dust and the thousand-mile horse would have been humiliated in the hands of a slave.
When Hu Xiuwu was at Hogwarts, he had tried to incorporate runes into the Tongtian Talisman system, so he had some experience.
As long as the Five Spirit Talismans are incorporated into the system of Tongtian Talisman, Hu Xiuwu can easily use Tongtian Talisman to master the Five Spirit Talismans, bypassing the complicated translation process and getting to the root of the matter.
The Tianshi Mansion has the Five Thunder Talisman which is derived from the Five Thunder Method. There are similar examples in the Xianjian World. Shushan derived the Raising Fire to Burn the Sky Talisman from the fire-related Raising Fire to Burn the Sky.
This process can be reversed. After learning the Five Spirit Talisman, Hu Xiuwu can use it as a springboard to understand the mysteries of the Five Spirit Magic, and mastering the Five Spirit Magic will be much easier.
So, come on, Tongtian Lu.
Show me your limits!
Chapter 520: Divine Tree Slash
"Raise the fire to the sky."
Hu Xiuwu put his fingers together as a pen and drew talismans in the air.
The talisman was completed, and a raging sea of fire gushed out, going upstream and rushing straight into the sky, dyeing the ten-mile cloud and mist into a red glow.
"Raise the fire to the sky."
The sea of fire appeared again, drying up the red clouds. Above the Nine Heavens Jade Terrace, the sky was as blue as jade, without a single flaw.
The first form is a talisman, and the second form is a technique.
From the Raising Fire to Burn the Sky Talisman, we can reversely deduce the Five Spirits Immortal Technique - Raising Fire to Burn the Sky, which proves that Hu Xiuwu's inference is correct and that the method of using talismans to deduce techniques is feasible.
“If there is time, all the ten thousand talismans recorded in the Tongtian talisman can be deduced back into magic.”
Magical spells are naturally more flexible than talismans and can be changed at any time. Unlike talismans, once they are drawn, their power and effects are fixed and cannot be changed.
At the same time, the magic can be more flexible and varied as the proficiency increases. The Golden Light Talisman of the Heavenly Master's Mansion is not as smooth and free as the Golden Light Curse, and the Five Thunder Talisman is not as majestic and magnificent as the Heavenly Master's Five Thunders.
Despite all the benefits, Hu Xiuwu still did not waste his energy on deducing all the spells in the Tongtian Talisman because of the temptation of mastering all kinds of skills.
If you eat too much and cannot digest it, you will only suffer from indigestion and become fat. You will be weak and powerless. You can bully thin people who are smaller than you, but when facing a strong man of the same level, you can only kneel down and beg for mercy.
Muscles that have been tempered through thousands of battles are the real deal, just like the Heavenly Master's Golden Light Curse, no one can break it.
"You, you really mastered a magic technique?"
Kui Yu hurriedly stepped into the courtyard in front of the library and found Hu Xiuwu staring at the clouds in the courtyard. He couldn't help but scream in surprise.
The scene of the fiery clouds was projected in the sky, how could Kui Yu not see it.
Jiutian Qiongtai has a rule that it is not allowed to use magic outside the martial arts training ground to avoid destroying the scenery of Jiutian Qiongtai.
All the gods who come and go know this rule, and no one dares to offend the commandments of the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens.
Kui Yu thought about it and decided that the one who dared to use magic on the Jiutian Qiongtai could not be the blind demon who sneaked into the Jiutian Qiongtai, but a god who did not know the rules.
And just in time, she knew that a new member of the newborn God tribe had arrived today.
Although she found her own guess a little hard to believe, she still hurried back to the library.
As a result, Hu Xiuwu, still feeling the aftereffect of casting a spell, was seen standing in the garden.
Hu Xiuwu put down his hands and calmed down, and said to Kui Yu: "Of course, it's very simple."
Kui Yu nodded. Learning the magic art of raising fire to burn the sky was very simple for the gods.
But weren’t you just born?!
A baby who was just one day old can go to school and even got first place in the kindergarten exam.
Is this the talent of the new gods? If the new gods created by the Emperor of Heaven are all of this level, then there will be no place for us gods?
Do I have to retire like a mortal? What can I do after I retire? Why not go take care of the sacred tree with Xiyao?
Kui Yu actually felt a sense of panic about losing his job for a moment, but he also felt that it was a bit ridiculous for him to feel a sense of crisis towards a newborn god.
"Master Kuiyu, are you here to teach me?"
Hu Xiuwu saw that Kui Yu was a little dazed and didn't know what she was thinking about, so he asked.
Kui Yu suppressed the absurd thoughts in his mind and replied subconsciously:
"Hmm? Yes, I do have this plan."
After he came back to his senses, Kui Yu looked at Hu Xiuwu with complicated eyes, as if he was looking at a junior who couldn't wait to get promoted:
"But do you really need me to teach you?"
"needs."
A familiar and majestic female voice came from behind. Kui Yu was startled and turned around and saluted skillfully:
"See you, empress."
How could the Lady of the West remain indifferent to the magic that burned half of the cloud? She even discovered who the caster was before Kui Yu, and cast her divine consciousness to observe secretly.
"Don't worry, Kuiyu. Xiuwu is just an exception. He has the unique ability to control the spring spirit. Even if the Emperor of Heaven creates a race of gods in the future, they will not be as gifted as him."
Kui Yu breathed a sigh of relief, her worries were not all groundless.
Given how cruel the Emperor of Heaven is, if all the new gods were as good as Hu Xiuwu, then Kui Yu and his group of gods would definitely be put into cold storage, forced to do dirty, tiring, hard and dangerous work.
But if Xiuwu is just a leader among the clan like Kuiyu, then there is no need to worry about their clan being put on ice.
Kui Yu's expression gradually relaxed. How could he hide this from the Lady of the Nine Heavens? The Lady of the Nine Heavens shook her head secretly, thinking to herself:
"Kui Yu only thought that his clan might be hidden, but he didn't know that with the nature of the Emperor of Heaven, if the qualifications of the Chunzi clan were really much stronger than Kui Yu's new clan, then the new clan would only become the first to die."
'The Emperor of Heaven will not allow any defective products to remain in the world.'
The Queen Mother of the West did not tell the truth to avoid Kui Yu feeling resentful and bringing trouble upon herself.
"Since Xiuwu has already mastered the immortal arts, Kuiyu, you can take him to the training ground to hone his martial arts in the future."
Kui Yu accepted the order: "Yes."
From that day on, Hu Xiuwu borrowed the Tongtian Talisman in the library in the morning to study the Five Spirit Talismans. He incorporated the Five Spirit Talismans into the system of the Tongtian Talisman, and selected suitable magic from it, turning the talismans into magic, mastering it in his hands, and using the concept of the fairy sword world to integrate the fairy magic into the Youyue sword technique.
In the afternoon, he followed Kui Yu to hone his martial arts, and the idea that came to him that morning took shape through practice.
Three days later,
"Sword of the Divine Tree!"
Hu Xiuwu held a heavy sword in his hand, using the power of the Qingxu Zhan from the Youyue sword technique and drawing the breath of the sacred tree, which was equivalent to casting a spell while swinging the sword.
Sword slashing is the immortal method.
Facing Kui Yu who was slashing the sacred tree, in addition to the tremendous force brought about by the swing of the heavy sword, there was also the power of the wood element gathered by the magic, which was like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, bringing with it vitality and an unstoppable growth momentum.
Kui Yu, who had experienced many battles between gods and demons, remained calm. He shook the Pan Chi Shenyun Spear in his hand, and the tip of the spear lifted up the heavy sword and flew into the air. The tip of the spear was like a dragon in the clouds, carrying the sound of wind and thunder, and using wind and thunder to break the wood element's Qi.
The dragon on the Shenyun Spear moved, and it grew taller and taller. From the pattern on the spear, it turned into a real giant wind-driving dragon, and bit away along the tip of the spear.
The original name of Kuiyu's spear was the Shenyun Spear. However, during an expedition, Kuiyu subdued a rebellious Chilong, and the Chilong was willing to transform into the dragon pattern on the spear, which turned it into the current Panchi Shenyun Spear.
