Chapter 77: Sword Aura

After a slight silence, Ye Zhichen said, "It is the greatest luck of Chuyi's life to know you."

"And knowing him is also my luck?" Ziyuan smiled slightly and gently rubbed the head of the big kid next to him, "And these little ghosts, having a big brother like Li Chuyi is the greatest luck and the greatest happiness in their miserable lives."

Looking at the little kids who took the candies handed over by him and smiled, Ye Zhichen nodded slightly, with a smile on his lips.

Turning his head to look at Li Chuyi in the yard, seeing him walking back and forth with a strange pace at this time, Ye Zhichen nodded with satisfaction and whispered, "In three months, he can practice the 'Dragon Sword Step' I taught him to this level. His comprehension and physical fitness are really good, even many geniuses in the sect can't compare with him. And this kind of concentration and hard work in practice are even more rare!"

Ziyuan heard this and nodded, "I know his character better. In the past, he was very lazy. With such a powerful master, he had no motivation to be lazy. He just fished for three days and worked for two days. He practiced like a net. After going through so many things, he has deeply realized the importance of his own strength. Without the protection of the Taoist priest, he tried his best. After several life-and-death situations, he survived by his own struggle and luck. Now that he has such a good opportunity to improve his strength, how could he not cherish it? In the past, such lazy practice could make him have such a cultivation. Now that he practices with all his strength, how could he not make rapid progress? "

"I just don't know how long this motivation can last. I hope he won't become lazy again after the momentum is gone." Ye Zhichen whispered.

"You can rest assured about this." Ziyuan turned and looked at Ye Zhichen, "Do you know what he looked like when he broke into the deadly place in the void?"

Ye Zhichen shook his head slightly.

Zi Yuan sighed softly, recalling the scene at that time, and said softly: "When I was released, he had been in that deadly place for a while, and he only relied on his breath to silently heal his wounds, and only took out the Demon-Subduing Mirror when he could move slightly. Even so, when I saw him, he was still covered with wounds, densely packed like a baby's mouth, and coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood from time to time. His internal injuries were extremely serious. If it weren't for his magical skills and his inhuman resilience, I'm afraid someone else would have died long ago."

Ye Zhichen asked Li Chuyi about his experience in the void, but Li Chuyi only spoke roughly and didn't say too much. Hearing Zi Yuan's words at this time, even though Ye Zhichen was so cultivated, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart and his face changed slightly.

It was hard for him to imagine what kind of belief a teenager had to rely on to survive in such a desperate situation. He even put himself in his place, thinking that if he had encountered the same thing when he was a teenager, even if he was lucky enough to survive in the void, he would have gone crazy and committed suicide under such severe injuries.

Looking at Ye Zhichen with a solemn face, Ziyuan sighed and said, "After such a life-and-death test, how could he not be alert? Besides, his master is still missing. Although he doesn't say it, I can see that he is very worried. Although the Taoist priest is powerful, the powerful Dayan Dynasty is not bad either. If the Taoist priest has any mishap, how could Li Chuyi not save him? Whether for himself or for his master, Li Chuyi will never relax now. He will try his best to make himself stronger."

After a slight silence, Ye Zhichen said, "I will help him, as much as I can."

"I believe it. Thank you!" Ziyuan replied softly.

Li Chuyi, who was unaware of the conversation between the two, was already immersed in a strange state at this time. Just like the feeling when he first practiced the "Ten Thousand Swords Art Fragments", Li Chuyi gradually felt that this step was vaguely consistent with the "Tao Canon" while stepping on the "Dragon Sword Step" taught by Ye Zhichen. He was not only stepping on these strange steps according to the requirements, but also vaguely understood why he had to move like this and how he could change through the scriptures of the "Tao Canon".

In fact, he had more or less had similar experiences in the past few months of practice, which was why he made such rapid progress, even making Ye Zhichen feel shocked. It was just that the feeling was particularly strong at this time, which made him enter an inexplicable state unconsciously.

At this time, he forgot the order of the steps of the "Dragon Sword Step", forgot the key points that Ye Zhichen told him, and even forgot the scriptures of the "Tao Canon". He just followed his instinct to move continuously, draw the sword, move again, and draw the sword again.

What he didn't know was that his steps were getting faster and faster, the speed of drawing the sword was getting faster and faster, and the angle was getting weirder and weirder. As he danced, a strange rhythm gradually appeared on his sword, and as the sword was swung, it left a trail of afterimages in the air, which disappeared after a few breaths.

"Huh?"

Li Chuyi's strangeness immediately attracted the attention of several people around him, and Ye Zhichen looked at Li Chuyi with a surprised look, his eyes were blank and he seemed to be possessed.

"It's actually enlightenment? Is that sword energy on the sword? No, it's sword energy! It's actually sword energy!!"

Looking at the strange aura covering the sword, Ye Zhichen's face was more surprised, and then turned into a deep joy.

Zi Yuan didn't know swordsmanship, but seeing the joy on Ye Zhichen's face, she knew that Li Chuyi, who seemed to be possessed by a demon, should not be in any danger, but might be doing good.

Relaxed, Zi Yuan whispered, "What's wrong with him?"

Staring at Li Chuyi without blinking, Ye Zhichen said without turning his head, "He is having an epiphany! Good boy, you actually have such an opportunity!"

"Epiphany?!" Zi Yuan frowned slightly.

"Yes, enlightenment!" Ye Zhichen nodded, and suddenly remembered that Ziyuan said that she had just entered the path of ghost cultivation and there were many things she didn't understand, so he explained: "Enlightenment is a strange state, a great opportunity that every cultivator dreams of, but can only encounter but not seek. In this state, the cultivator's Tao heart will be extremely close to the Tao, and will understand some problems that he can't think of or understand at ordinary times, and may even directly realize the heart of heaven and greatly increase his cultivation. In short, this state has only benefits, no disadvantages."

Ziyuan nodded in understanding, and asked again: "Then what has he realized now?"

"I don't know."

Shaking his head slightly, Ye Zhichen said: "This can only be known after he has completed his enlightenment. But from my point of view, his long sword actually exudes a faint sword aura, and he may have realized the sword momentum!"

Seeing that Zi Yuan was puzzled, Ye Zhichen explained: "The way of sword can be roughly divided into five parts, skills, qi, momentum, intention, and Tao. Among them, skills and qi are not difficult to cultivate. The former depends on the proficiency of swordsmanship, and the latter depends on the stimulation of mental skills. The three realms of momentum, intention, and Tao require the cultivators to constantly practice and comprehend. Just like this sword momentum, it requires a certain level of understanding of the way of swordsmanship. After returning to the original state, one's own swordsmanship is integrated into the surrounding environment and resonates with it before it can be achieved. With the help of the momentum in the surrounding environment, not only will one's swordsmanship become more strange and difficult to defend, but the sword aura generated during resonance will also make the power of the moves more powerful."

"It's just that in a few months, a person who has never practiced swordsmanship can comprehend the realm of sword momentum. At least I have never heard of it." Ye Zhichen was secretly shocked.

Although she still didn't quite understand, Zi Yuan knew that Li Chuyi had become more powerful. He nodded slightly, sent a look to the five stunned kids beside him to keep quiet, and then turned to look at Li Chuyi intently.

At this time, Li Chuyi had already turned into a shadow, flashing around like a ghost.

Suddenly, Li Chuyi paused, sat down on the ground with a listless face, and his eyes, no longer empty, were full of fatigue.
