Chapter 165: Enlightenment and Seeking Truth, Immortal on Earth
Snow world.
Xu Chunlin's spirit returned, he woke up quietly, and the Tai Chi diagram flashed in his eyes.
It can be said that among all the Taoist Lords, except myself, the one who benefited the most from this sharing was Xu Chunlin, the Taoist Lord Zhenwu.
The reason is simple: Xu Chunlin's philosophy is the most similar to his, both following the path of Tai Chi.
After sharing the power of Taishang Taoist Master, Xu Chunlin sighed in his heart that Taishang was worthy of being Taishang. His understanding of the Tai Chi diagram and his profound Taoism were far beyond what he could match.
However, I have different views on the meaning of yin and yang. Although my ideas are not as broad as those of the Supreme One, they are profound and can also achieve something.
Zhenwu, Zhenwu, he himself was in a world of snow, where the emphasis was on seeking truth in martial arts. Under the high-level insights of Taishang Daojun, Xu Chunlin could vaguely feel the direction he would go next.
The study of martial arts can be divided into minor success, major success, perfection, and the ultimate state. Perhaps, he can add another state, turning decay into magic, in order to seek the true meaning of martial arts, which is "True Martial Arts"!
Based on the theory of Yin and Yang, the martial arts of the world are analyzed. With a single thought, the martial arts of the world are everywhere and you can master them at will, and they are sublimated to reach the realm of the true meaning of martial arts!
In the end, all things return to one, which is the ultimate truth in martial arts!
Thinking of this, Xu Chunlin activated the essence of his own status and intention, and a phantom of a long sword appeared in his hand.
On one side is carved a giant python that can swallow the sky, looming and elusive, entwining the side of the sword. On the other side is a turtle that is as still as a mountain, crawling on the ground. Under the intention of Zhenwu, the two beasts, the turtle and the snake, merge and condense the essence of the northern sunflower water to manifest the form of Xuanwu.
According to myths and legends, the Zhenwu Sword is a top-grade spiritual treasure with forty-eight innate restrictions. It is rumored that this sword has the power to exorcise demons.
Although the Zhenwu sword in Xu Chunlin's hand does not have such power, it is also extraordinary.
He looked at the Zhenwu Sword, thinking about something.
With a sword in hand, Xu Chunlin was determined to follow the path of swordsmanship, but Xu Fengnian, the "True Martial Emperor", chose to practice swordsmanship, which can only be described as heresy.
But is it really heresy?
I have a sword that can move mountains, overturn seas, subdue demons, suppress monsters, command gods, pluck stars, open the sky, fill the ocean, shatter the sun and the moon, and kill everything in the world!
It is called kendo, but in fact it is not kendo. Everything can be a sword, but it is also not a sword. As long as Xu Chunlin is willing, it can be a fist, a palm, a gun, or even just a finger.
Weapons are external objects, and oneself is the core.
There are no rules or regulations in the world. Rules exist only because there are people.
But what about this world?
The sun, the moon, the stars, all things in the rivers, the flowers, the trees, they are all different, but they live in harmony and complement each other.
True integration does not come from forced conformity of rules, but from the perfect balance of what you lack and what I have, just like the Tai Chi Yin-Yang fish.
Be extremely empty and maintain deep stillness.
All things are created together, and I observe their return.
Xu Chunlin understood his own way, and the true meaning of all kinds of martial arts was condensed in his eyes. The tens of thousands of books in Tingchao Pavilion were not read in vain. With the blessing of the divine power of the heaven and the realm of the Supreme Taoist, the books he had read in the past immediately bloomed with a different brilliance in Xu Chunlin's hands.
A strong light suddenly burst out from his eyes, and countless martial arts techniques gathered in his mind.
"There are so many things in the world, so why should I be so constrained? There are countless rivers in the world, but in the end, all rivers return to their source!!!"
Xu Chunlin found his own way. Although he only saw the first step, at this moment, he already knew which direction he should step in!
A strong and majestic aura condensed from his body. He was able to shake the heavens by himself. He did not need any help from luck. He was the entire heaven and earth. He entered the realm of immortals on earth in one step!
However, when Xu Chunlin made the breakthrough, no outsiders could notice it at all. The heavenly magical power that separated heaven and earth was not just talk.
In an instant, Xu Chunlin felt as if he had stepped into another world. He felt extremely refreshed all over, as if he had surfaced from deep water. All his perceptions were extremely delicate and clear.
Falling dust can be detected even with the naked eye!
Wide sea diving, sky high the birds to fly.
Is this the land of immortals? Xu Chunlin looked at the calm lake in front of him and pointed out an ordinary wind and snow sword, which turned decay into magic in his hand.
Sword Intentions: Zhenwu!
In an instant, the sky and the earth became cold, the temperature plummeted, the cold air spread, and snowflakes seemed to appear, followed by a howling north wind and heavy snow like waterfalls!
The snowflakes were right in the area where Xu Chunlin was, within three feet of his fingertips. Every snowflake was filled with biting cold, yet was refracted by the warm sunlight.
The countless snowflakes in the sight were like a storm, extremely violent, but the storm was held in the hands of the young man, as if he was holding the power of heaven and earth!
The biting cold did not reach him. Only a wisp of snowflakes gradually rolled out from the storm, floating lightly and landing on the young man's fingertips.
Then the young man flicked his finger, and snowflakes flew out like an extreme sword light, blending with the wind and turning into a sword waterfall of blizzard and cold snow. It looked like snowflakes and wind blades, but in fact it was a vortex formed by countless sword qi.
Wherever the sword waterfall passes, everything is frozen!
As the sword intent dissipated, the snowflakes and wind blades also disappeared without a trace, leaving only the chill in the sky.
And above the lake, a huge silver fish broke through the frozen lake surface and came out in the cold.
When Xu Chunlin saw the silver fish, he couldn't help but smile. This was the only one that dared to face his sword intent of wind and snow.
This giant silver fish looks like a fish but is not a fish. Although its head looks like a fish, it has dragon horns on its forehead and top of its head.
Its entire body is silver, and each piece of fish scale is as dazzling as silver crystal.
There was a golden glow under its belly. At first glance, it was a patch of golden scales. Outside the scales, there were layers of auspicious cloud-like fish scales covering it.
The fins under its belly are like wings, and it can swim hundreds of meters away with a slight wave. Its tail is an authentic dragon's whisker tail.
The name of its bloodline is: Dragon Fish!
The dragon fish looks like a fish but is not a fish. It is actually a dragon. It has a horn on its head and dragon scales on its body. It is the spirit of water. It is born with the ability to gather luck and accumulate blessings and merits, so it is rare in the world.
But this one is different from ordinary dragon fish. It has a more extreme temperament and likes to brave rapids. That is why it dares to break through the ice. Just because it has the ambition to turn into a dragon, Xu Chunlin values it and cultivates it.
This dragon fish is the result of Xu Chunlin's several years of breeding for Beiliang. He grabbed a handful of fish food in his hand and gently threw it down!
Suddenly!
This attracted various small fish below to fight with each other here, and thousands of carp headed towards the sky. This scene was really beautiful to look at.
No wonder the old man also likes to do this, as if he has the power of life and death over so many creatures below in an instant. This feeling is indeed intoxicating.
Xu Chunlin's mind was filled with thoughts.
The current Liyang Dynasty, under his manipulation and that of many famous officials, is plagued by party strife and internal friction, corruption, the collapse of the civil service, the superiority of civil officials over military officials, lax military preparations, border troubles in the north, frequent disasters, land annexation, indulgence in drugs, the collapse of the government, loss of control of power, class contradictions, internal rebellion, and financial crisis.
The above-mentioned current situations led to the Liyang Dynasty being affected by multiple factors in strategic decision-making, which led to many wrong decisions. As a result, the Liyang Dynasty went further and further down the wrong path, consuming its precious war potential and the credibility of its rule over the world until it collapsed.
When an avalanche comes, no snowflake is innocent. Either do nothing, or do it to the extreme, or do it completely.
Because he is in Beiliang, Xu Chunlin actually likes wolves in this life, especially lone wolves, who can be patient and suppress their greed in order to hunt prey.
It keeps chasing after its prey, and when the time is right and the prey lets down its guard, it launches a sudden attack and bites the prey's throat tightly until the prey dies!
In the complex and ever-changing situation, Xu Chunlin cannot make any mistakes. He wants to keep everyone guessing, and when the situation is right, he will show his lightning speed.
Patience is not a sign of weakness, but the instinct of the strong!
Soon, soon!
This round is finally coming to an end!
