After awakening the magical power, all demons are firewood

Chapter 349: Collection of Sword Paintings
Chapter 342: Collection of Sword Paintings

More than 80% of the restrictions in the old White Tiger's body have been lifted.

As long as it can free its own soul from the restrictions, it will be able to escape the seal of the Sword Ancestor immediately.

It said it was very easy. Han Yue only needed to help practice the strongest inheritance passed down by the [Sword Ancestor] to help its spirit escape from trouble.

But the old White Tiger did not explain what kind of complications there were, and Han Yue did not know either.

However, he felt that things were definitely not as simple as what the old White Tiger described.

After all, the scroll in its hand contained a thick stack of portraits of monks.

If all of them are sword seeds with a level similar to that of the ancestor of [Jackdaw], then one can imagine what kind of geniuses they would be.

So many geniuses were attracted here one after another by this old White Tiger to practice this inheritance, but they still could not free themselves from it.

There must be something here that Han Yue doesn't know.

Although what the old White Tiger said was understated, the hardships and dangers hidden behind it are probably far beyond what words can describe.

"Senior, if this inheritance is so powerful, why were those talented cultivators unable to help you unlock all the restrictions?"

Han Yue asked cautiously.

"Just because they can't do it doesn't mean you can't do it either."

After saying that, the old [White Tiger] threw the stack of scrolls in his hand aside, turned around and stared at Han Yue.

Then it spoke again:
"You are different from the monks in this scroll. You are stronger than all of them!"

"If there is anyone who can truly cultivate this inheritance, it can only be you!"

For the first time, a gleam of sharpness flashed in the old eyes of this old White Tiger!
Han Yue was not lost by the old white tiger's praise. Instead, she asked more honestly but firmly:
"Senior, I don't know why you think so highly of me. It is really an honor for me."

"But the Jackdaw ancestor you just mentioned is a great swordsman who has reached an extremely high level. He is a seed of the sword path that I can never even dream of."

“I wonder where those seniors encountered obstacles and were unable to complete the inheritance of the Sword Ancestor.”

"I don't know what strengths I have that caught your eye and made you have such great confidence in me!"

"Please ask senior to teach me!"

Han Yue became more and more confused about what the old [White Tiger] said!

The old man continued to ask:
"Let me ask you, is your current sword cultivation level entirely due to a single sword skill?"

Han Yue felt that there was nothing to hold back on this question, so she replied:

"I would like to let you know that my disciple's current sword cultivation is naturally supported by his powerful sword magic."

"But, among the cultivators who can come to this [White Tiger Sword Tomb], especially the sword seed chosen by you, which one of them does not possess the most advanced sword magic power?"

"There are countless geniuses in this universe. I don't think that my magical powers are stronger than everyone else's. It's not surprising that I have the magical power of swordsmanship!"

The old White Tiger naturally agreed with what Han Yue said, and said:
"What you said is true. If we only talk about the quality of magical powers, although your sword-wielding magical power is extremely powerful, among the disciples whose portraits are left in front of me, there are also three or five people whose innate magical powers can compete with yours."

"But the strengths I mentioned are not just your sword skills."

"Let me ask you again, the technique you mainly practice shouldn't be the sword technique, right?"

Han Yue nodded after hearing this. His magical power of [Thunder Taisu] was very conspicuous, but it could not be hidden from the great monk in front of him.

He immediately answered:
"I am a disciple of the Yuxiao Shenxiao Palace, and I am from the same sect as the ancestor of Jackdaw."

"Among the fundamental laws of my Shenxiao Palace, there is no sword method that directly leads to the fifth level. Therefore, since I entered the Tao, I have been practicing thunder magic."

"But this sword method is also the most important way to protect the younger generation. I have also been immersed in it for a long time, and the magical powers I have cultivated are not inferior to the thunder method in any way."

Actually, although Han Yue entered the Tao with the "High Shenxiao True Thunder Yuanci Longevity Sutra" of the Shenxiao Palace, practiced the Yuanci Thunder Method, and obtained the [Tai Su] and [Time] Avenues.

But at this moment, most of his [Daoguo] magic power was achieved by relying on the sword art of the end.

This is quite difficult to achieve, and is what the old White Tiger values ​​the most!

After hearing his answer, the old White Tiger spoke again:
"Just as you said, your sword skills are all due to your magical powers, which were created by countless opportunities."

"But can you possibly imagine it? Without relying on the sword-way inheritance method, without relying on various sword-way secrets, without relying on the blessings of the great way obtained every time you are promoted, how many people in the entire void can practice the sword-way to your level?"

Old White Tiger's words also triggered Han Yue's thinking. His practice along the way was the result of many internal and external factors, and it was extremely difficult to replicate.

And this old White Tiger said:
"I can tell you responsibly that since I entered this Sword Tomb, I have indeed met countless sword geniuses, but there is not even one like you who practices a technique other than sword techniques!"

"Throughout the ages, countless sword geniuses have tried to remove the restrictions on me. Some of them specialized in swords, while others possessed peerless magical powers, but without exception, none of them succeeded."

"It's because the sword art inheritance that imprisoned my soul is quite strange. It is a secret method of cultivation that requires extreme purity."

"If you want to succeed in your practice, you can only do so after refining and recasting your sword skills."

"The more talented these sword seeds are, the more profound their cultivation is, and the more profound their fundamental sword inheritance is."

"It would be extremely difficult, almost impossible, to completely recast their sword tradition!"

“Even if I use all my magic power and go all out to successfully rebuild their sword art heritage, it will be useless.”

"Because even if I succeed in recasting them, it basically means that the cultivation of these sword seeds will be destroyed, their [Dao Fruit] will be broken, and their magical powers will be incomplete. It will be impossible for them to cultivate my method!"

The old [White Tiger] shook his head as he spoke, his face full of regret.

But its words made Han Yue's hair stand on end!

In order to escape from trouble, this old [White Tiger] must have experimented with these sword seeds many times.

This plan of using great magic power to rebuild one's cultivation is no less than knocking a fourth-level cultivator down from immortality, dispersing his power and cultivating again.

This is absolutely unacceptable torture for any monk!
But from the mouth of this [White Tiger], there was only regret that the goal could not be achieved, but there was not a single concern about the consequences for these monks!

Although this old man looks kind and friendly.

But in essence, it is still a big demon who is self-centered and regards all living beings as worthless!

Han Yue couldn't help but feel alarmed!
However, the old White Tiger had already noticed Han Yue's mood changes, and spoke to comfort her:

"Don't worry about it. I have long stopped forcibly rebuilding the magic power foundation of sword monks."

"The sword seeds that can reach here are extremely rare. Every loss is a huge loss for me."

"I have already changed my behavior and will never harm the lives of monks like you easily again."

"Even if you really can't cultivate the inheritance in my soul, I won't do anything to you."

"There are many more inheritances in this [White Tiger Sword Tomb], I will give you one more!"

There was a hint of gentleness in the old White Tiger's words, as if he was trying his best to calm Han Yue's uneasiness.

"You don't need to be so defensive. I know what you are thinking, but as time goes by, I have also gained some enlightenment."

"You can't force yourself to get out of trouble. You have to let fate take its course."

"Look, you're here, aren't you?"

"The reason why I value you is not only because of your unique sword skills, but also because of your extraordinary path of cultivation."

"You have a solid foundation in thunder magic, but you are able to practice swordsmanship to this level. In addition to your strong swordsmanship, this inclusive ability is the key to unlocking my restrictions."

"You have all the basic conditions to practice my sword art. With your talent, you can master it with just a little effort."

When Old White Tiger said this, there was already a hint of urgency in his words!

Its eyes were glaring like a tiger, and it was becoming more and more majestic.

In its eyes, Han Yue in front of it gave it a glimmer of hope of escaping from the predicament that it had not seen for a long time.

Can Han Yue refuse the request of this great demon?
That's definitely not possible!

The words and sentences of this old White Tiger revealed a hint of extreme indifference towards cultivators.

In its heart, there will never be a trace of pity or respect for these sword seeds.

All people are just tools to help it escape from trouble. The reason why it retains this trace of kindness and goodwill is just an inevitable choice under the suppression of [Sword Ancestor].

Han Yue's situation makes him the best among the old White Tiger's escape tools!
He had no way of rejecting Old White Tiger's position!

The current situation has made the string in Han Yue's heart stretched to the extreme.

But he didn't lose his composure at all!

He then asked again:
"Senior, I already know what you mean. My original intention was to come to this [White Tiger Sword Tomb] to seek a sword art inheritance."

"If I can help you out of this predicament, that would be great."

"But after all, what exactly is this sword art inheritance? Could you please give me some detailed instructions, senior?"

Since she knew that she had to face this hurdle, Han Yue was naturally willing to take on the responsibility.

After all, this sword tradition was left by the Sword Ancestor, who is considered to be the strongest swordsman in the void.

This is the one who trapped the [White Tiger] again. It is ranked first among the 108 inheritances.

Naturally, it can be called the most top-level sword tradition in the void! And in order to escape from the predicament, this [White Tiger] will definitely teach it wholeheartedly.

No matter what its starting point is, for Han Yue, this can be regarded as an extremely critical opportunity for cultivation!
He practiced for nearly a thousand years, killed countless demons, cultivated countless magical powers, and even obtained two precious things like [Temple System].

However, since he left Shenxiao Palace, he has not been able to learn any fundamental Dharma that can satisfy his needs.

Looking at the current situation, he couldn't help but feel infinite expectations.

He knew very well that he had no way out, and he also understood that this might be the most critical turning point in his spiritual career.

"Senior, I am willing to try to practice this sword tradition. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are, I will do my best."

When the old White Tiger heard this, a glimmer of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. In his mind, the young man in front of him might really be the key to his escape.

"Okay, since you are so determined, I will explain to you in detail the secrets of this sword art inheritance."

The old White Tiger's words became solemn and deep. He slowly opened his mouth and explained to Han Yue the practice methods of this sword-wielding tradition one by one.

"This sword art inheritance is called "Sword Painting Collection", and it is the strongest inheritance left by the "Sword Ancestor"."

"It is also the general outline of the 108 inheritances he left behind in this [White Tiger Sword Tomb]. It can be said to be all-encompassing!"

"It contains all of the Sword Ancestor's understanding and insights into the way of the sword."

"And practicing this method is also quite simple. You only need to use the sword as a pen, the Tao as ink, the body as paper, and the soul as color to create a complete [Sword Painting]!"

"As you travel along the way, you will have seen the various sword arts inherited from my physical body."

"These inheritances were originally left to me by the Sword Ancestor to restrain my shackles."

"But after years of practice, these inheritances have been integrated into my [White Tiger Lying on the Mountain Painting] and have become a part of my sword practice."

"It's a pity that my soul was restrained by this "Sword Painting Collection" and cannot be integrated with my "White Tiger Lying on the Mountain Painting"."

"I have been unable to escape from this predicament, and my practice of the "Sword Painting Collection" has not been completed."

"If you can also cultivate this "Sword Painting Collection" and create a "Sword Painting" that integrates your sword, body, and soul into one, my soul will be able to break free and merge into my "White Tiger Lying on the Mountain Painting"."

"This way I can escape from the cage and gain freedom!"

"And you will also receive the supreme swordsmanship inheritance of the Sword Ancestor and become the best swordsman in the void."

The old White Tiger's voice was full of temptation and expectation, as if he had already seen the future.

Han Yue listened very attentively. He knew very well that he was about to embark on a road full of unknowns and challenges, but he also understood that this was the ultimate realm he had been pursuing in his practice so far.

And after hearing the explanation from Old White Tiger, he finally understood this sword tradition.

And he quickly figured out the origin of the top-level [Demon-Devouring Magic] he learned from [Jackdaw], and the secret technique of [Sword Painting]!
"Senior, I understand. I will do my best."

Han Yue emphasized once again, his words were firm and resolute, things had come to this point, whether subjectively or passively, he had to go through this!

"Hahaha!"

The old [White Tiger] laughed heartily!
"In that case, let's start right away."

Then, it waved its hand, and a gust of wind blew up in the narrow study room.

The wind blew up the furnishings in the room, and everything fell to the ground.

The most numerous things in this room are the sword paintings drawn by the old White Tiger over the countless years!
These paintings of "White Tiger Lying on the Mountain" are hung all over the walls, filling up the bookshelves.

Each painting contains infinite true meaning of Kendo and can be called a Kendo treasure!
At this time, these [White Tiger Lying on the Mountain Pictures] were also blown into disarray by the wind from the old [White Tiger] and wrapped around Han Yue.

All of Han Yue's cultivation had long been suppressed by the old [White Tiger]. Facing the [White Tiger Lying on the Mountain Picture] that was approaching him, he was completely unable to resist and was directly wrapped up like a dumpling.

Afterwards, the old [White Tiger] also flashed and turned into a white light, instantly disappearing into Han Yue's brows.

Immediately afterwards, a huge and ancient stream of information poured into Han Yue's sea of ​​consciousness like a tide. It contained all the essence and secrets of "Collection of Sword Paintings".

He only felt as if there were thousands of sword shadows churning in his mind, and each sword contained a very profound understanding and perception of the way of the sword.

He closed his eyes tightly and absorbed the information with all his strength, and felt that his sword skills seemed to have made a qualitative leap at this moment.

"Remember, practicing the "Sword Painting Collection" is not only about practicing sword skills, but also about truly understanding the sword's meaning."

"Look at the true meaning of my paintings and learn how I paint!"

At first glance, these paintings of "White Tiger Lying on the Mountain" are extremely similar.

But if you sort all the paintings one by one according to the chronological order in which old [Bai Hu] drew them, and then analyze his brush strokes one by one.

You can find that each painting is slightly different and is an improvement on the previous one.

This massive amount of sword paintings is actually the entire process of a top-level swordsman above the [Pillar] practicing the "Sword Painting Collection" from scratch.

No one is more familiar with this process than old [White Tiger]!

At this moment, the entire process was being reviewed in front of Han Yue under the control of the old White Tiger's soul!

"Look again, this sword painting is not a simple painting, but a carrier of sword meaning, and a reflection of your understanding of the way of the sword."

The voice of Old White Tiger echoed in Han Yue's sea of ​​consciousness.
"What you need to do is not only to imitate my paintings, but also to understand the sword meaning and integrate it into your sword practice."

Han Yue's sea of ​​consciousness was like a huge wave surging, and the essence and mystery of the "Collection of Sword Paintings" turned into flashing sword lights and awe-inspiring sword intent.

Corresponding to the true meaning of this inheritance, one painting after another flashed before his eyes.

He seemed to see the whole process of old [White Tiger] practicing "Sword Painting Collection" from scratch.

The groping and entanglement, the struggle and progress in every stroke and every line.

Han Yue was immersed in these paintings, and his sword skills seemed to resonate with these paintings at this moment.

He began to try to imitate the paintings of old White Tiger, but his imitation was not a simple copy, but incorporated his own understanding and insights into kendo.

This great sword-passing teaching not only passed on knowledge but also demonstrated practical examples. It was the most efficient way of teaching that the old White Tiger had discovered over the past million years, so the effect was naturally excellent!

At first, Han Yue's sword paintings seemed clumsy and messy, but as his understanding of the "Collection of Sword Paintings" gradually deepened, his sword paintings began to become smooth and powerful.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and he was completely immersed in the creation of sword painting.

Every stroke and every line seems to contain infinite sword intent and power.

Finally, after all his efforts, a blueprint appeared in front of him.

Although it is called a blueprint, it is not really made of paper. It is the flesh and blood incarnation that he condensed under the guidance of "Collection of Sword Paintings".

When you paint on this blueprint, the secret method of inheritance will be reflected in your own body.

And what he held in his hand was not the paintbrush, but his most powerful Pure Yang spiritual treasure, the [Edgeless] flying sword!
After planning for a long time and reading countless copies of the "White Tiger Lying on the Mountain Picture", Han Yue finally drew his first stroke based on this drawing!
He was seen holding the [Edgeless] sword and slashing out with it, and a soft sword intent was swung out.

A strand of hair appeared on the drawing.

It’s urgent, it’s the second, third, and fourth ones!

Not long after, he had completely drawn a ball of messy black hair.

This was the first completed organ part to appear in his paintings.

As soon as this hair was formed, it immediately triggered changes in Han Yue's original body.

His hair, which was tied up with a magic chain, suddenly broke apart.

And every strand of his hair pointed straight up, like a thin black sword.

And the boundless sword intent, emerging from nowhere, filled his hair.

However, the shapes of these sword intentions were quite strange, which Han Yue had never practiced before, and they were not included in his [Zhu Xian Sword Formation].

And with the emergence of this sword intent, a magical sword inheritance was also refined into his hair.

It was the "Hair-Entangled Soul Sword Sutra" that he had comprehended before!
This "Hair-Entangled Soul Sword Manual" is originally an extremely unconventional fourth-level sword tradition.

But under the guidance of "Collection of Sword Paintings", Han Yue perfectly presented it in the form of sword painting and integrated it into his own hair.

At this moment, every strand of his hair seemed to have turned into a tiny sword, containing sharp sword intent.

And on the sword painting, the state of the hair was completely stabilized.

As soon as this strand of hair appeared and the "Soul-Entangled Hair Sword Sutra" was completed, Han Yue's "Collection of Sword Paintings" was completely mastered!
In just a moment, a pure sword power appeared in his dantian.

This is the power of swordsmanship, which has completely different properties from the thunder magic that he had practiced for the past few hundred years.

With this magic power, the sword ability can be activated and the power will increase dramatically again!

As time went by, this magical power accumulated more and more, and it actually condensed into a sword-attributed [Long Life Element]!
This [Long Life Essence] and Han Yue's own 666 [Long Life Essence] were clearly divided into two groups.

But it is indeed his own magical power!

This achievement made Han Yue quite excited!

Not to mention how powerful this "Sword Painting Collection" is, just the fact that it can improve his magical powers is worth the price of the ticket!
At this time, the old White Tiger's voice appeared again:

"Don't be distracted. This [Sword Painting Collection] is divided into twelve levels. Only when you draw nine inheritances can you be considered to have successfully condensed the first level. Don't slack off!"
