Li Mengzhou glared at Xiao Zhinan with some anger and said angrily: "That is the sword energy of Xie Chunfeng, the chief disciple of Buluoshanmen. Although my realm is low, I am not useless. Even if this sword causes serious damage to me, it will not kill me."

Xiao Zhinan looked at Li Mengzhou's dissatisfaction and sneered, "You should be proud of being able to survive Xie Chunfeng's sword, but this is not something worthy of publicity. After all, the useless man is useless man. He obviously doesn't have the strength, but he wants to provoke someone better than him. I am really curious about how you lived to this day."

Once in the darkest place in Jiang Country, Li Mengzhou survived with a desire to survive, but it was inevitable that there was some luck involved. For example, Chaosixiang, luck also accounted for a large proportion.

But if Li Mengzhou didn't make a desperate bet and ignited all the Qi Hai Lingyuan, no matter how much luck he had, he would not be able to survive. He could not die under Xie Chunfeng's sword. Although luck could not be avoided, he survived by his ability.

Although Xie Chunfeng cut a very strong sword, he did not have the intention to kill. Li Mengzhou had the magical powers of "Silks of Silkworms" and had a body tempered by a medicine bath. In addition, he ignored the destruction of life and death, and even wanted to slash a sword wildly, consuming Xie Chunfeng's sword energy. The natal sword raised in the sea of ​​qi itself has extremely strong sword intent. Li Mengzhou could not survive simply by luck.

Xiao Zhinan challenged the strong because she was a strong person, and most of them were just a competition, not a life-and-death duel.

Li Mengzhou is not a strong man, but the enemies he faces are all powerful beyond imagination, and many of them are life and death situations. In a sense, he can survive until now and cannot escape the elements of luck.

He simply sat cross-legged on the ground and said angrily: "You are so pretty, but why are you so vicious?"

Xiao Zhinan raised his eyebrows slightly. As a girl, no one would feel unhappy. She automatically ignored the words behind her, looked at the sword intent that was looming in the sword cliff, and said solemnly: "Being able to maintain the sword intent for so many years is worthy of being the famous and promising great sword cultivators of Ligong Sword Academy in the past dynasties. Even though they have fallen, the sword intent has remained in the world, as if they are all alive."

The natal swords in the sword cliff are all owned by great sword cultivators above the fourth level. Some sword intent is weaker, while some sword intent is terrible. After years of change, some sword intent becomes more and more intense, while some sword intent is slowly dissipating.

She had been standing on Jian Cliff for twelve hours, feeling the sword intents belonging to Ligong Sword Courtyard, and seemed to be able to see their style back then from these sword intents.

Li Mengzhou was also observing the sword intent. The heavy pressure made his face pale again. The sword intent exuded an extremely sharp aura. It was difficult for Li Mengzhou, who was injured, to ignore it.

"The former Jianmen Avenue was still standing above the three religions. The sword immortals on the thirty-three hills were rampant, and they made hundreds of doors knock. I also asked the teacher why the Jianmen declined, but even the teacher couldn't explain the reason."

Xiao Zhinan thought, "But according to my guess, the decline of the Sword Sect must be related to the fortune of heaven and earth. It is because Daotian fears the strength of the Sword Sect, depriving the sword cultivator of his luck and gradually withering the sword gate."

Li Mengzhou looked at Xiao Zhinan with a little stuttering, and couldn't help but say, "Your guess is too bold. If it is really the will of Daotian to destroy the Sword Sect, how could the sword cultivator have a day to stand out?"

Xiao Zhinan sneered: "The way of practicing in the world requires the help of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, that is, the will of Daotian. However, sword cultivators are the most special existence. Sword immortals always think about challenging the strong people in the world. However, when no strong people can be stronger than sword immortals, their eyes will undoubtedly be on Daotian."

Li Mengzhou frowned and said, "Although it's very inexplicable, your words actually make me feel very reasonable."

The will of Taoism and Heaven itself is a very illusory existence, the first breath that appears in the world. Not many years ago, someone noticed that breath and gave birth to the first practitioner.

The will of Daotian is not so much the will of Daotian, but the first generation of practitioners. It was because of the emergence of those practitioners that the will of Daotian was given, and whether Daotian will has life is actually denied.

The fallen practitioners will return to the Daotian soul, and will naturally become part of the Daotian will. In other words, the more practitioners in the world fall, the stronger the Daotian will.

Many things cannot be thought of in depth, otherwise it will be terrifying to think about them carefully.

A monk on earth who is under a stronger will should be able to gain stronger strength, but the fact is exactly the opposite.

Because there are only five holy places in the fortune, although each dynasty spreads fortune in every corner, it is actually very small. The huge number of practitioners and extremely rare fortune are disproportionate. It becomes very difficult to obtain more resources and reach a higher level.

Although the spiritual energy in the world is endless, practitioners at higher levels rely on insight to break through the realm. The existence of luck is a great opportunity. The higher the cultivation level, the more demands you have for luck.

This is why young practitioners need to walk around the world to understand, while powerful practitioners basically rarely enter the world. The holy land of Jiang Kingdom's luck is in the capital, and the capital is also the place where powerful practitioners gather the most. Only by staying here and getting close to luck can they break through a higher realm.

There will naturally be hidden cultivators in the market. They may not be qualified to have close contact with luck or other reasons for various reasons, or choose to practice in a place full of spiritual energy, or find another opportunity to break through the realm by experiencing life.

But in the final analysis, there are definitely strong people gathering around the five holy places in the world.

Except for the Qianhai Realm that Jiang Kingdom was placed on the open and Jianshan in the Western Jin Dynasty, other holy places of luck were hidden in quiet places in the mountains and seas, and were controlled by powerful sects.

Dynasty needs to compete for luck, and powerful practitioners also need to compete for luck. It is precisely because the five holy places of luck belong to the five dynasties that they can occupy the most territory in the world. If they can unify the world, they will naturally have absolute voice. If they hold all the five holy places of luck in their hands, they can create a peak and enter a new era.

If the decline of the Sword Sect was as Xiao Zhinan guessed, it was deprived of his luck by the will of Daotian, the existence of Jianshan would be difficult to explain.

Jianshan is undoubtedly a holy land of luck that belongs to sword cultivators. It is in the hands of the Sword Pavilion of the Western Jin Dynasty. Even the royal family of the Western Jin Dynasty did not have the power to climb the mountain at will, because if it were not for the sword cultivators, Jianshan would no longer be a holy land of luck, but a dead land in the abyss. Only sword cultivators are qualified to climb the mountain.

Li Mengzhou had never been to Jianshan, and he didn't know what kind of place Jianshan was. If the former Jianmen fortune was deprived, where did his current fortune come from?

The true intention and luck of those sword immortals who once remained in the sword mountain were completely different.

He felt that Xiao Zhinan's guess had no practical basis. In fact, it was meaningless to explore why the Sword Sect declined, because he firmly believed that in this era, a new group of sword cultivators would reach the peak and create their own sword world.

......

The night is as deep as ink.

His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress stood in front of the hall, looking at the capital under the starry sky, Jiang Kingdom was thriving, and the people could live and work in peace and contentment were already His Majesty’s greatest wish. He did not have such great ambition to unify the world, but Jiang Kingdom was in a place that must be fought for. If he blindly defended, he would only end up in destruction.

Without ambition does not mean being content with the status quo. His Majesty the Emperor has sufficient belief in protecting the people of Jiang Kingdom. If Jiang Kingdom is threatened, he will fight back at all costs.

Beiyan and Jiang often have frictions on the border, and wars between the two countries will happen sooner or later.

Liu Feiyu is hidden in the hinterland of Northern Yan. If something unexpected happens in the plan to return home, the army guarding the border will press towards Northern Yan. Although there will be no large-scale war, the relationship between the two countries will inevitably become more urgent.

For some reason, His Majesty the Emperor felt a little uneasy.

The Empress looked at His Majesty's side face and said with some concern: "Why is Your Majesty frowning?"

His Majesty the Emperor sighed lightly and said, "Most of the territory of Beiyan is harsh. They have been trying to advance south. There are crazy gods who guard the northern border. The Beiyan army often tests, but they dare not really start a war. The western border is a great sword cultivator country. As long as the sword immortal is there, there is no force to offend it. If Beiyan tries to go out, except for crossing the snowfield to border the eastern border, there is only the road of my country of Jiang."

"The snow field is a dangerous place that coexists with the Tianqi Wasteland. If Beiyan wants to attack the eastern border, the snow field will be a huge obstacle and will be wiped out there. Only by contacting our Jiang Kingdom is the only way for Beiyan to go out. The outbreak of this war seems to be getting closer and closer."

The Empress said: "Miss Xiao in the sword hut in Beiyan is in the capital at this moment. If she has other intentions, she may be in trouble inside and outside, which will be a big problem."

His Majesty the Emperor said: "Although Xiao Zhinan is a swordsman, he is also a powerful cultivator who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Shen Qiubai and Bei Zangfeng, she is still outside the threshold of the five realms. It is impossible to cause any storm in our capital. Instead of thinking that Xiao Zhinan has ulterior motives, it is better to be simple."

"Although I have a premonition in my heart that the days when Beiyan are undermining will not be too far away, but it will not happen so quickly. Xiao Zhinan is just entering the world to practice and challenge the world's strong people, so he should have nothing to do with the Beiyan royal family."

Even though Xiao Zhinan appeared in Jiang Kingdom and was a pawned by the Northern Yan side in advance, Xiao Zhinan was only one person after all, and she was not strong enough to shake the peace of the capital.

So instead of thinking that Xiao Zhinan is impure in his mind, it is better to really believe that she is just a worldly practice, and things are not that complicated.

After all, Xiao Zhinan is a sword cultivator, and the sword cultivator is accustomed to being alone. Even if he is in a group, he is still in his fellow disciples. The sword master of Jianlu may not take the Beiyan royal family seriously, so there is no need to let his only personal disciple come to Jiangguo to take risks.

Too much worrying is often not a good thing. Anyway, Xiao Zhinan is moving under his nose. Whether she really has other purposes will definitely be noticed as soon as possible.

Since the incident of the monks outside the mountain, the spy in Tianshu Courtyard has obviously become more cautious in their actions everywhere, and has made their moves very brightly, closely monitoring all the movements in the capital.

And people like Xiao Zhinan are naturally taken care of by secret spies in Tianshu Academy.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at the location of Ligong Sword Court, squinted his eyes slightly, and murmured: "Director Xue's permission to climb Xiao Zhinan to the sword cliff also means that he thinks there is no problem with Xiao Zhinan..."

The Empress said softly: "Director Xue's vision of people is still very accurate, but that little guy Li Mengzhou seems to be on Jian Cliff, too?"

......

The crescent moon is like a hook, the night wind blows gently on the branches and leaves, and the sword cliff looks very quiet.

Li Mengzhou lay on the meadow, looking at the starry sea in the sky, and murmured softly: "The scenery tonight is very beautiful."

Xiao Zhinan did not speak, was silent for a moment, and said, "I want to try to go to the top of the peak."

Li Mengzhou looked at her side and said, "Sword Cliff is the holy place of the palace. Although the teacher allowed you to climb the cliff, you should not regard this place as your home, and you must not have the idea of ​​playing these swords."

He had reason to doubt Xiao Zhinan's purpose of climbing the sword cliff, and he was probably going to devour the sword intent on the sword cliff. Although devouring the sword intent faced great danger, it was indeed a shortcut to improve his cultivation, but the benefits he got were far less dangerous.

Devouring the sword intent cannot allow the sword cultivator to break through the realm. Only the sword intent is enhanced will also increase the cultivation level. It may indeed increase the success of the breakthrough realm, but the accompanying danger is also extremely terrifying. If you are not careful, you will be backfired by the sword intent, either turning into a walking corpse or directly torn to pieces by the sword intent.

Unless they are extremely crazy people, few sword cultivators choose to devour sword intent to enhance their cultivation.

But if you are strong enough to devour some weak sword intent, there will be no danger. However, the weak sword intent cannot enhance too much cultivation. However, there are thousands of natal swords in the sword cliff. With Xiao Zhinan's cultivation, most of the swords will not pose a fatal threat to her. If you swallow all the weak sword intents, there will be significant changes.

Even though he was always thinking about swallowing these swords, Li Mengzhou didn't believe that Xiao Zhinan had no idea at all.

Xiao Zhinan could naturally hear what Li Mengzhou wanted to express, and said calmly: "Although there are many extremely powerful sword intents in the sword cliff, only the sword intent of the sword immortal is the sword intent that can arouse my interest, so you don't have to worry about what I will do to these swords."

Li Mengzhou curled his lips and said, "Anyway, the teacher allowed you to come up. I don't care what you want to do. Although you are very strong, I don't think you can reach the top of the mountain. If there is really a sword of the sword immortal there, the difficulty of climbing the mountain will be terrible."

Xiao Zhinan ignored him and walked silently towards the mountain.

Li Mengzhou lay quietly on the meadow, pillowed his hands behind his head, and turned his head slightly, watching Xiao Zhinan's back gradually fading away, and a tsk sounded in his mouth.

Practice has never been a simple thing. The stage of Amazhao visualization in the first realm completely isolates practitioners and ordinary people. Since then, every realm has bottlenecks to block practitioners. In addition to the Baptism of Amazhao, which blocks all ordinary people who have no qualifications to practice, the threshold of the four realms is the iron wall that blocks the path of the practitioners.

Before crossing the threshold of the five realms, the lifespan of a practitioner is no different from that of an ordinary person. It is just that he looks younger and lacks qualifications. It is impossible to rely on time to cross the threshold of the four realms.

Because it doesn't make any sense. Even after decades of years and successfully crossing that threshold, they are still facing the despair of the impending death. All of the hard practices were in vain. That was a really desperate thing.

Therefore, the practice qualifications can clearly determine how far a practitioner can go and where he will stop. Although it is sad, there is no way to avoid it.

Even if a person with good cultivation qualifications is not firm enough, he is likely to stagnate outside the threshold of the four realms.

Before today, Li Mengzhou had even crossed the threshold of the Four Realms with half his foot, which he could feel vaguely, but now this feeling has disappeared, as if he is extremely far away from the threshold of the Four Realms.

This is something that bothers Li Mengzhou very much.

His gaze was on the natal swords inserted into the stone. These were the swords left by the great sword cultivators above the fourth level of Ligong Sword Academy in the past dynasties when the fall of the Great Sword Cultivator. He was not sure if he could find the way to the threshold of the fourth level again if he swallowed these sword intents.

But he knew very clearly that according to his current severe injury, even the weakest sword in the sword cliff was enough to kill him, so this thought did not appear in his mind for long and was quickly expelled.

In fact, he knew very well that the teacher asked him to think about his mistakes in the sword cliff, not to let him devour these sword intents, but to let him realize the sword intent. Although the process will be much slower, it is much safer. It is obvious which one is better to understand or forcefully devour external sword intent.

The sword intent you choose to devour must also be in line with your own sword intent. If you reject each other, it will not be a benefit. Instead, it may damage the foundation of your practice and make the gains less than worth the loss. But how many swords are there on the sword cliff that meet his sword intent?

There is no shortcut to practice. Even if there is one, it is not a good path. The one who ends up with the consequences is still the one who gets the bad consequences. It is just like the monks outside the mountain who practice the method of forcibly plundering the spiritual essence of the Qi Hai. Although it can become very strong in a short time, many monks with insufficient will can easily become idiots and their intelligence will plummet.

Even if the monks outside the mountain who crossed the threshold of the fifth realm are no different from normal people, Li Mengzhou was extremely disgusted with the barbaric and bloodthirsty road to becoming stronger.
