Chapter 16

On the first day after admission, the morning glow filled the sky, and the weather was fine.

Looking from the mountainside, yellow leaves were falling, the autumn atmosphere was deepening, and the faint morning light spilled onto the white jade stone road, shining brilliantly.

Here, the newly admitted disciples got up early and finally gathered in the Enlightenment Field.

It is rumored that the Heavenly Dao bestowed a volume of Little Little Tian Shu to the first generation of human sages during the dark and ignorant period to solve the doubts of all living beings, and the sages then established the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, becoming the first generation of Heavenly Tian Shuyuan Abbots.

Students comprehend the Dao in the Enlightenment Field, and if their comprehension is extremely high, they can establish a connection with the Little Little Tian Shu.

And after establishing a connection with the Little Little Tian Shu, it is a connection with the Heavenly Dao, and cultivation can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

There are also rumors that students who have not reached perfection, although they cannot sense the Heavenly Dao, also have the opportunity to sense the Little Little Tian Shu.

In this way, they can know the mysteries in advance, with infinite benefits.

For thousands of years, no one has seen where the Little Little Tian Shu is, nor do they know if it is a book, but there are indeed students who suddenly become full of spiritual light, and after waking up, they shout with ecstasy, "I have seen the Little Little Tian Shu," so it can be seen that it is not a false statement.

So from morning until afternoon, disciples led by Chu He and Lu Qingqiu were all trying their best to comprehend the Dao and sense the Little Little Tian Shu.

The only one who did not appear was the third person under twenty at the perfection of the Lower Three Realms this year, Ji You.

Although the Outer Court disciples all say that Ji You is a wild private cultivator without immortal grass and spiritual medicine to rush the realm, he might not be able to rush into the Upper Five Realms within a year.

But after all, he is a person who cultivated to the perfection of the Lower Three Realms alone, so his whereabouts will naturally be of special concern to some people.

"Where did that Ji You go?"

"Haven't seen him. I just guessed whether he followed other students to the White Jade Platform and learned the General Outline of Dao Sources?"

"He has already entered the perfection of the Lower Three Realms, and his foundation is already solid. That kind of thing is of no use to him, so why would he go there?"

"Eh, I heard that someone saw him go out at the hour of the dragon, and went to the Sword Trial Forest after breakfast."

Hearing this, Chu He and Lu Qingqiu both opened their eyes slightly, with a look of indifference.

And others who heard that Ji You didn't come to the Enlightenment Field on the first day, but went directly to the Sword Trial Forest, all showed astonishment, including Fang Ruoyao, who was trying hard to feel the true spirit.

"He wants to practice both martial arts and Dao?"

"He should want to practice both martial arts and Dao."

Chu He opened his mouth slightly: "Devoting oneself to Dao cultivation feels like there isn't enough time, yet he wastes time on martial arts."

Lu Qingqiu also opened her eyes and turned to look at Fang Ruoyao on the side: "Ruoyao, is your fiancé always so eccentric?"

Fang Ruoyao was stunned after hearing this, then nodded, her expression a bit uncomfortable.

Yes, she told others herself that Ji You is her fiancé.

In the past in Yuyang County, Miss Fang was the magistrate's daughter, a disciple selected by the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, and a crane in the clouds that everyone needed to look up to.

But after coming to the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, she discovered that her family background could not compare to these people in front of her, her status could not compare to these people, and she suddenly became the most ordinary disciple, with a huge psychological gap.

Especially after returning to the women's dormitory last night, she saw the women in the same dormitory all laughing and talking happily, but she didn't dare to interrupt at all.

Until she said she was Ji You's fiancée.

A wild private cultivator who reached the perfection of the Lower Three Realms before the age of twenty was the focus of conversation on the first night of admission, so at that moment, everyone turned their eyes to her.

And then she suddenly realized that the status she had despised so much in the past had now become the only thing she could use to show off...

"Practice both martial arts and Dao..."

"The students in the academy are all trying their best to comprehend the Dao and break through the realm. Why practice martial arts? Could it be that you still want to fight to the death with someone in the future?"

At the same time, in the Sword Trial Forest in the back mountain.

The bamboo sea was not disturbed by the autumn, still a thick green, swaying in the wind, with the whole forest rustling.

Ji You was currently holding a wooden sword, following Wang Xin'an, the instructor who practices both martial arts and Dao in the academy, to practice basic sword forms.

Splitting, stabbing, pointing, lifting, collapsing, intercepting, wiping, piercing, picking, lifting, twisting, sweeping.

Group by group, continuously teaching.

The perfection of the Lower Three Realms itself can control spiritual energy externally, and can also control objects with energy, so most sword techniques in the Azure Cloud world are not fancy.

The simplest sword is the most direct killing move.

Ji You shuttled through the forest, repeating these sixteen characters continuously, one sword, one sword, and another sword, constantly making himself steady in hand and fast in heart when drawing the sword.

According to Wang Jiaoxi, when meeting an enemy with a sword, one must first break their energy, but if the sword is not steady, the energy of the whole sword will be unloaded during the first collision.

So Ji You has been constantly looking for the feeling, and then letting his whole body's muscles engrave the movements with this feeling, letting it cross the barrier of thinking and become subconscious movements.

"Hoo..."

"Quite tired."

Ji You found that some repetitive movements are easy to get tired of when done too much, but if he survives the fatigue period, he gradually begins to have a feeling of flowing water.

And Wang Xin'an, who was standing on the side, looked at this perfection of the Lower Three Realms who had just been admitted, and his expression was a bit strange.

The students he had seen over the years all rushed to the Enlightenment Field on the first day to try to sense the Little Little Tian Shu, and he had never seen anyone come directly to the Sword Trial Forest.

He originally thought he was just looking for freshness, but he didn't expect him to be so hardworking.

Wang Xin'an came back to his senses: "Open your hands and let me see."

Ji You opened his hands, seeing no deep redness, nor too much sweat accumulated in his palms.

"Okay, didn't use force to death, remember the instantaneous force, continue!"

"Remember, when drawing the sword, you must pay attention to breathing, don't let it become an obstacle to your sword drawing. You must know that once the rhythm is messed up, you are finished in an instant!"

"After the basic sword forms are proficient, you will slowly form your own sword-using habits, and cultivators also have different energy-controlling habits."

"The combination of energy-controlling habits and sword-using habits will eventually form ever-changing sword moves, moving with the heart and coming out with the hand!"

And when he heard the three words "moving with the heart," the peerless bandit furrowed his brows, connected several movements into sword flowers, then released his hand, circled his body and flew and twisted three times like lightning, and then quickly connected the sword flowers after returning his hand.

Just as Wang Xin'an was slightly stunned, he saw spiritual energy surging under his feet, his body rotating like lightning in place, and the wooden sword followed him in a circle and pushed forward fiercely, with bamboo leaves falling wildly in the forest.

After the combo was used up, Ji You leaned on his sword and wiped his sweat, but when he looked up, he saw Wang Jiaoxi's expression of astonishment.

He seemed to be frightened by this combo of "Ji the Bandit" just now, and couldn't recover for a long time.

"Have you ever seen a master use a sword?"

Ji You wiped his sweat and said: "Yes, the student was indeed fortunate enough to see it with his own eyes when he was young."

Wang Xin'an narrowed his eyes: "Which master was it?"

"Meng Xinghun."

"?"

After cultivators can control spiritual energy externally, many seemingly incredible moves can be used.

Flying swords can connect different sword moves, and it is a change of hundreds of moves. Even the "Meteor Butterfly Sword" can be replicated, which is what makes Ji You feel surprised.

Subsequently, he looked at the other teaching wooden sword in Wang Xin'an's hand, and suddenly had some whimsical ideas: "Wang Jiaoxi, can a practitioner only control one sword?"

"That's not necessarily true. With your spiritual energy at the perfection of the Lower Three Realms, even ten is fine."

"What about ten thousand?"

Wang Xin'an laughed upon hearing this: "Naturally, it is also possible, but it has no meaning. You must know that controlling energy requires spiritual energy to be condensed to be the strongest. If it is scattered, it will naturally be weak, unless your spiritual essence can provide you with a steady stream of spiritual energy, so that every sword is full of spiritual energy, otherwise it is just a fancy show."

Ji You pondered for a moment: "Perhaps I will be invincible..."

"Ji You, Wang Jiaoxi wants to ask, where can that Meng Xinghun be found?"

"Yanliu Island, Stalactite Cave, First Line of Sky, Jinhua City..."

"?"
