In front of Zhou Xuanxin, there are strange flowers and plants, gentle breeze and rising sun. The world is very different.
Bodhi is only sought from the heart, so why bother seeking mysteries from outside?
The martial arts master that I had been searching for so hard ended up only in that attic and under more than ten years of hard study.
After more than ten years of reading and understanding, it is enough to have a grasp of the world even without leaving home.
The martial arts in the world are divided into nine levels.
From nine to one, rise step by step.
The ninth grade is the lowest grade, and the first grade is the high grade.
Above the first level is the ultimate realm.
Once a martial artist reaches the highest level of cultivation, he is already a master of martial arts, capable of establishing a sect and establishing a household.
At the very top, one is called the Grand Master, and one is the most powerful person in the world.
It seems that Zhang Sanfeng, the ancestor of Wudang Taoism, and Baimei Taoist, the sword immortal of Xishu, are both the top masters in the world today.
And above the great master, it is called the realm of heaven and man.
Such powerful people are often only mentioned in legends. Even if there are great battles in the world and there are many masters, no one has actually reached this realm.
That is the god-level realm that warriors all over the world look up to, and I am no different from an immortal.
At this moment, for Zhou Xuanxin, he had indeed acquired the two superb martial arts of Iron Palm Kung Fu and Yiyang Finger.
But what he regarded as a treasure the most was the "Xiantian Gong" mental method.
According to rumors, this technique was created by ancient immortals and passed to the hands of Quanzhen leader Wang Chongyang before it regained its vitality.
If you practice properly, you can at least reach the peak state of a great master.
As for whether you can become a great person, it depends on your qualifications and opportunity.
Zhou Xuanxin was very satisfied with what he had gained.
Let him, a useless person with broken bones and congested meridians, be promoted to martial arts in one fell swoop.
Achieving the pinnacle of the third level of achievement.
The distance to the third level is only a thin line.
When to cross, it all depends on you.
It is no exaggeration to say that such an entry is like a swimming fish turning into a dragon!
But at this moment, having obtained the Lingming Dao Heart, he has vaguely found a set of mental methods that are unique to him from many Taoist martial arts.
Although it is still a vague prototype, it has just experienced destruction and rebirth.
You might as well call it "Relief of Destruction" first.
As he slowly left the cabinet, he finally came into contact with the outside world.
At this moment, what came oncoming was the long-awaited Emperor of Dali Kingdom, Duan Zhixing.
And the disciples behind him who were fishermen, woodcutter, farmers and readers.
It seems like they are separated by a door, but in fact they are separated by a lifetime.
When he entered the family, he was still the son of a useless person of the opposite sex.
When he left the house, he entered the martial arts.
"Congratulations, Xuan Xin."
There was a slight tremor in Duan Zhixing's words, and his face was obviously older than it was more than ten years ago.
Zhou Xuanxin was slightly surprised.
For a master who reached the top level more than ten years ago, it is rare for him to age so quickly.
As for the fishermen, woodcutter, farmers and scholars who studied in the West after the Southern Emperor, although he had followed the Southern Emperor to practice martial arts for many years, due to his qualifications, Zhu Ziliu, who had the highest level of cultivation, was now only at the fifth level.
The Westerner only saw Zhou Xuanxin in front of him. His face had changed from a pale and withered face, and now he had become extraordinary, exuding an outstanding grace.
He is very different from the sickly young man sitting in the attic back then.
But other than that, there are no other clues.
After all, in martial arts, even if there is only one level difference, it is already a difference in realm. How can you tell Zhou Xuanxin's current trump card?
Zhou Xuanxin cupped his hands and chuckled.
"Thanks to the generous gift from the emperor, I have been allowed to spy in the pavilion for more than ten years. I have not run out of food and rice, so I can only get what I have today."
"Haoshou struggled for tens of thousands of days and nights, and finally he has some small enlightenment. He doesn't dare to talk about his achievements in front of famous people, but for this kid, he can still be considered to have made some progress."
Since Zhou Xuanxin's sudden enlightenment, he has understood that being forthright and honest is a great benefit in martial arts, so he does not hide anything private when he speaks.
Duan Zhixing smiled and nodded with a kind smile.
"Xuan Xin is young and has reached the peak of the third grade in one day. Her future prospects are limitless."
Knowing Zhou Xuanxin's current level of cultivation, even the fishermen, woodcutter, farmers and Westerners, who are well-informed, couldn't help but marvel!
Looking at the young man in front of him again, even if the Westerners have a grudge against Zhou Botong, they can't help but show a bit of admiration in their eyes at this moment.
When several of them entered the officialdom at a young age, they followed a famous teacher like Nan Di to practice. Now half of their lives have been rushed, but they are still lingering on the edge of the middle and third grades.
Zhou Xuanxin suffered a heavy blow from the Iron Palm in his early years. After being in the cabinet for seventeen years, when he left the cabinet again, he was already at the peak of Western rank!
Time flies, great achievements are made early, who can not envy them?
Even Duan Zhixing, who is now the top master in Dali Kingdom and has won the title of "Southern Emperor" in the Huashan Swordsmanship, can't help but sigh secretly.
He is truly a young hero!
Thinking back to that time, I also practiced martial arts when I was young, and I was very intelligent and enlightened. By the time I reached the level of martial arts, I was already ten years old.
At the age of twenty, it was just the beginning of Western education.
As for reaching the ultimate realm, he was already in his teens.
But the young man in front of him spent a lot of time just recovering from his injuries, but he was still able to reach the peak of Xipin at the age of seventeen!
What an amazing talent!
Even the Chongyang Master on Zhongnan Mountain may not be like this!
Duan Zhixing sighed secretly!
"Back then I just wanted to save his life, but I knew he was seriously injured. I never thought he could practice martial arts."
"It seems now that I have not let go of my worldly prejudices."
"How can one prove the path of martial arts with such a narrow mind?"
Thinking of this, Duan Zhixing couldn't help but feel his mind swaying and his body swaying a little.
The fishermen, woodcutter, Gengdu and others hurriedly stepped forward to help, but Duan Zhixing smiled and waved his hand, indicating that there was no need.
In any case, it is a good thing that Dali Country now has a strong player at the peak of the third level.
Zhu Ziliu hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
"Little brother Zhou, you don't know, in the past few years..."
Before he could finish speaking, Duan Zhixing shook his head again, signaling him to be silent.
He knew very well that even if someone with Zhou Xuanxin's qualifications suddenly became enlightened, it would take time for him to fully comprehend it. He could not mention other worldly matters for the time being.
Zhu Ziliu's face looked uncertain for a while, but he still closed his mouth.
He just looked at the smiling boy in front of him.
Zhou Xuanxin has won the admiration of everyone just by virtue of his persistence which has lasted for seventeen years.
Wait until everything is settled.
Duan Zhixing just set up a tea table in the imperial study room, with the aroma of tea lingering and the smoke curling up.
"What are your plans for the future?"
"Enter the study again and read the classics again."
Zhou Xuanxin answered lightly, but it was also what he thought in his heart.
My long-cherished wish in the previous life was to gain good health and reach the pinnacle of martial arts.
Now it is finally possible.
Apart from this, Zhou Xuanxin didn't care about anything else.
Coming out of the cabinet at this moment is just a short break after a stage.
After possessing the Spiritual Dao Heart, my past understandings have been greatly improved, and the speed of understanding in the future will definitely be hundreds of times faster than before!
But he looked at the emperor who was hesitant to speak, and he didn't want to really pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"If your Majesty has anything to say, please feel free to say it first. Xuan Xin's destiny and body cultivation are all given by the Duan family. If there is a destiny, Xuan Xin should fulfill it with all his strength."
Duan Zhixing smiled.
"There are only five hundred volumes of classics in the Exquisite Pavilion, which is very limited. With your current level of cultivation, even if you are familiar with them all, I am afraid it will be difficult to make further progress."
"And there is another place in our country of Dali that contains even more profound and mysterious books."
"But, as you guessed, I do want something."
Zhou Xuanxin smiled and drank tea without saying a word, listening attentively.
Duan Zhixing suppressed his smile, and there was a seriousness in his words.
"First of all, I want to take a look at your current martial arts attainments."
Zhou Xuanxin smiled softly and unceremoniously took down an iron sword from the wall.
Holding the sword in hand, the sword shines brightly.
Although it is just ordinary iron, it is like a divine blade, its edge is fully revealed!
I saw the sword moving with my heart, like a fish swimming in the sea, or like a rainbow crossing the sky, with its shadows and dazzling brilliance.
While walking and stopping, the sword path was majestic and swift, yet flexible and flawless.
Cut, sweep, wipe, dust, play, twist, seal, stab...
The snow embraces the blue pass, and the swallows and geese have no intention,
The sleeves of the sword are fluttering across the mountains, and Hongfei cannot cross the mountains.
Clouds cross the Qinling Mountains, plum blossoms bloom in the morning breeze,
The universe is bright and the royal road lies in the south.
What he practiced was the "Duan Family Sword Technique", a set of eight sword moves.
In this vast world, there are many peerless swordsmanships.
In comparison, the Duan family's swordsmanship is just ordinary, and at best it can be regarded as Zhou Zheng.
But at this moment, in the hands of Zhou Xuanxin, it seemed to be a completely different world.
The shadow of the sword follows the heart, and the heart moves with the movement.
Every move and every move contains the awe-inspiring sword intention.
It seemed that in just a moment, Zhou Xuanxin not only practiced swordsmanship, but even opened up a new realm for this ordinary swordsmanship.
Really, the bare hands are sharp, and ordinary iron is also a magic weapon!
As Zhou Xuanxin gathered his sword intent, an unknown gust of wind blew up, accompanying him from left to right, causing willow branches outside the window to break and fallen leaves to drift.
Finally, the sword was swung, and the shadow of the sword stopped in confusion, but it was only a moment away.
Zhou Xuanxin also let out a sigh of relief, and his chest felt relaxed!
This should be the first time he has practiced swordsmanship since his enlightenment.
But he didn't expect that the Emperor of Dali in front of him would actually stand up and salute to him.
"Seeing that you have such a level of cultivation, please recite these eight words to save me, Dali!"
