Chapter 9 The theory of swordsmanship and the life of asceticism
As the chief elder, Ye Xuanji's courtyard is naturally located in a quiet place to avoid the noise from the outside world disturbing him.
When the two arrived, Ye Xuanji took Chen Junting and walked straight towards the sword room.
When the two entered the sword room, the swords hanging on the wall immediately attracted Chen Junting's attention.
Not to mention the various types of swords, the scabbard alone is inlaid with exquisite gems, shining with an alluring light.
It seems that these swords are not meant for use.
"Envy?"
Ye Xuanji walked to Chen Junting and patted his shoulder gently.
Chen Junting also felt for the first time that his master was not serious. It seemed that when they first met, the immortal spirit was all an act.
After secretly rolling my eyes...
"Master, what is this sword room?"
Although he already had a guess in his mind, Chen Junting still asked at the right time.
"This is my own mimicry training ground."
Ye Xuanji didn't pay much attention to her apprentice's eyes. Instead, he stepped forward and drew out a sword.
The lines engraved on the sword and the bright stars adorning it all tell the story of how expensive and luxurious the sword is.
"You don't have to worry."
As if he saw the desire in Chen Junting's eyes, "The mimicry training ground that belongs to you was already collecting the corresponding materials for you when you joined the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect yesterday."
"Do you know the difference between your martial spirit and mine?"
Suddenly, Ye Xuanji changed the topic.
"The martial spirit of the Seven Killing Sword is murderous, while the martial spirit of the Star Saint Sword is starlight?"
Faced with the sudden inquiry, Chen Junting directly gave a superficial answer.
But when he recalled what he felt when he awakened his martial soul and absorbed the soul ring, he said with a slight hesitation, "Maybe my martial soul still has momentum?"
"That's right."
Appreciation showed on his face.
"This is why the Seven Killing Sword has disappeared over the past ten thousand years, and many new sword spirits have appeared frequently, but it has not dropped the number one sword spirit in the world."
Ye Xuanji flipped her wrist and took the Star Holy Sword. An aura erupted instantly, covering Chen Junting's entire body.
In an instant, Chen Junting knelt on one knee.
The light in his right hand lights up, and the Seven Killing Sword Spirit appears on its own.
Likewise, a momentum burst out from it.
When Chen Junting stood up slowly, the momentum he had just dissipated instantly, making him feel relaxed all over.
Ye Xuanji's words also reached his ears at this moment.
"Do you feel it? This is the power of the sword."
After hearing this, Chen Junting looked at the Seven Killing Sword.
Haoran's vast murderous intent was revealed from it.
"Master, the sword power of the Seven Killing Sword Martial Spirit is innate, while the sword power of other sword Martial Spirits requires acquired practice."
Chen Junting raised his head and looked at Ye Xuanji.
"Not bad." Ye Xuanji was obviously satisfied with this answer.
"This is the natural advantage of the Seven Kills Sword Spirit. And once the mastery of the sword's power reaches a certain level, the sword's power will transform and turn into a domain. The ancestor Chen Xin transformed the sword's power into a realm when he was titled Douluo For the Seven Kills Domain.”
"field!"
Hearing these familiar yet unfamiliar words, Chen Junting's eyes suddenly lit up!
Throughout the entire Douluo world, domain is synonymous with power.
In a battle between soul masters of the same level, soul masters with domains have an overwhelming winning rate.
"Then Master, are we going to practice sword skills next?" He was eager to try the field due to his enthusiasm.
But soon, a basin of cold water was poured on him.
"Do you think the realm is created by cultivation?"
"That…"
Ye Xuanji did not explain to him, but said: "You have to understand that there are five realms in the way of swordsmanship. The first is swordsmanship, which is the moves and techniques of the sword; the second is sword power, which is the momentum and domain of the sword. ; The third is the sword's intention, which requires the sword user to integrate the artistic conception comprehended into it; the fourth is the sword's soul, which requires the sword user to integrate his own soul into it, that is, the man and the sword become one, you are the sword, and the sword is You; and the last one is the legendary sword god, but since the establishment of our Nine Treasures Glazed Sect and even the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, no one has ever been able to take this path. Perhaps only the legendary gods can."
"Hold your sword tightly. From today on, your training must never leave your hand with the sword. As a swordsman, you must be connected with your sword spirit to understand and control it."
Ye Xuanji's tone suddenly became harsh at this moment.
"The art of swordsmanship starts from the shallower to the deeper. If you can't even master the swordsmanship, how can you understand the domain from the sword's power?"
As she spoke, Ye Xuanji's eyes became sharper.
"Now, let's start with the basics."
Throughout the entire afternoon that followed, the first thing Ye Xuanji taught Chen Junting was how to hold a sword correctly.
Because in his words, when he first met Chen Junting, apart from being brave and vigilant, his sword-wielding posture was just bullshit.
He demonstrated how to hold the hilt of the sword with both hands and how to adjust the position of the fingers for the best grip.
Chen Junting, on the other hand, carefully observed his master's movements, and then roughly imitated them until he gradually mastered them.
Next, he started to teach how to adjust breathing, and explained that breathing is an extremely important part of swordsmanship and is related to the balance and stability of the body. Continue to demonstrate how to breathe deeply, how to relax your body when you inhale, and tighten your muscles when you exhale.
In the days that followed, Ye Xuanji's teachings could be described as gradual and gradual. Basic swordsmanship movements have also been advanced.
When these are almost done, the practice of the Seven Killing Sword Art and the "killing" character art also begins.
It was from this day onwards that Chen Junting truly entered into penance, and his life was extremely fulfilling.
In the morning, practice basic sword skills a thousand times, and then take a medicinal bath to relieve fatigue.
After breakfast, practice the Seven Kills Sword Jue and the "Slay" Jue, and then take a medicinal bath as well.
As for the afternoon, I will read and study the knowledge about soul masters and soul beasts, plus practice practical combat skills in the hands of my master.
At night, practice meditation instead of practice. Moreover, during meditation, the Seven Kills Sword must be summoned and placed horizontally on the lap, so as to feel the sword's power and become familiar with the sword's power.
Of course, during these days, Chen Junting also gradually got to know other peers besides Ning Tian, such as Wu Feng.
However, when they first met, Wu Feng was still somewhat hostile to him, as if he felt that Ning Tian had been taken away from him.
But after talking to her about some "reasons" in Chen Junting, and with Ning Tian mediating in the middle, the relationship got a lot better.
Even Wu Feng's first soul ring was obtained by Chen Junting.
Gradually, Chen Junting felt that it was no longer possible to separate himself from the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect.
In addition to the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect's investment in himself, including but not limited to the exclusive mimicry training place, expensive medicinal baths, and the supply of natural and earthly treasures, his friends and masters also belong here.
He has long since truly regarded the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect as his home from the bottom of his heart.
