Chen Changsheng listened, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Many things sound simple, but doing them is extremely difficult. Just comprehending the realm of Dao techniques can stump countless cultivators, let alone creating one's own Dao.
However, Chen Changsheng would not be troubled by difficulty.
If he couldn't comprehend it in one day, he would comprehend it in two days, ten days, a hundred days, countless days. If he didn't encounter an opportunity for enlightenment, he could also spend time slowly waiting.
As a long-lived individual, the least he needed was anxiety and urgency.
What if he couldn't comprehend the realm during the Golden Core stage? If he couldn't do it during the Golden Core stage, he would wait until the Nascent Soul stage. If he still couldn't do it during the Nascent Soul stage, he would wait until the Spirit Transformation stage.
If insufficient comprehension of Dao techniques led to an inability to break through the realm, then he would continue to spend time until he comprehended the realm before breaking through.
Top-tier prodigies pursued speed and efficiency, worried about falling behind, worried that one step behind would lead to step after step behind, ultimately becoming mediocre.
But for Chen Changsheng, who was immortal, as long as his Dao techniques and cultivation could break through, it didn't matter how long it took.
He didn't need to compare himself to top-tier prodigies. He was never a prodigy, just someone with more time than others, whose foundation was built up over time.
If age, cultivation, and aptitude were all combined, it would be discovered that the gap between Chen Changsheng and a prodigy was like heaven and earth.
But when it came to strength within the same realm, Chen Changsheng could suppress even the direct disciples of the Holy Land.
This point also puzzled the members of the Immortal Cultivation Group.
… …
Returning to the backyard of the Dao Treasure Pavilion, Chen Changsheng decided to focus on both aspects simultaneously.
He would both create the subsequent sword realm of the "Taiyi Heavenly Astral Sword Scripture" and learn new sword techniques to compensate for the simplicity of the "Taiyi Heavenly Astral Sword Scripture's" sword moves.
He spent wildly in the group store and group files, and shouted in the group to buy sword techniques in large quantities, including those of demons and heretics.
Some sword moves were practiced directly, while others were only used for reference.
In the tranquil backyard of the Dao Treasure Pavilion, sunlight filtered through layers of tender green leaves and scattered on the ground.
Chen Changsheng's state of mind was calm and peaceful. The Ninefold Yellow Springs Sword lay across his chest. He took a deep breath, and a faint breeze seemed to blow past him.
The sword trembled slightly, golden light faintly scattered, and sword energy permeated the air, like a faint white rainbow piercing through the sky.
With a clear whistle, the sword tip suddenly pointed forward, the sword light was like lightning, and a ripple was stirred up in the air as it passed through.
His sword technique was strong and smooth, like flowing clouds and flowing water, integrating sword intent into every movement.
Under the reflection of the sword light, his expression became more and more solemn.
Constantly mobilizing the true energy in his body, every sword strike was accompanied by an invisible force, as if it could tear the void and connect heaven and earth!
The branches in the backyard swayed, as if playing accompaniment to his sword dance.
Every movement was steady and powerful, using sword intent to explore the mysteries of heaven and earth.
A trace of sword intent permeated the surroundings, as if one could sense a surge of invisible sword energy.
Since listening to Zhuo Heng's discussion of the Dao, Chen Changsheng would practice sword techniques, study sword techniques, and integrate sword techniques in the backyard every day…
For twenty years, he practiced swords repeatedly.
The spare time he used to study auxiliary paths on weekdays was all turned into practicing sword moves, disassembling sword moves, and comprehending sword moves.
This process seemed boring, but Chen Changsheng was addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself.
The process of deriving the "Taiyi Heavenly Astral Sword Scripture" gave him a sense of anticipation of successfully solving a problem. That kind of expectation and joy was indescribable, and only those who had experienced it deeply could understand it.
Chen Changsheng finally understood why some sword cultivators could be so pure and persistent.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sword moves were like mountain springs, flowing smoothly like flowing clouds and flowing water. As Chen Changsheng's state of mind gradually became immersed, strands of profound sword intent gradually spread.
Under thousands of sword swings, his figure gradually disappeared into the reflection of the sword light.
The sword moves became more and more complicated, each move incorporating the essence of hundreds or thousands of sword moves, forming a fluttering and unique sword shadow.
Clang!
Twenty years of sharpening a sword, finally achieved today.
"Although the 'Taiyi Heavenly Astral Sword Scripture' is not a sword technique I created, the Thousand Sword Realm derived by myself is obviously more compatible and stronger than the previous sword realms."
Chen Changsheng sheathed the Ninefold Yellow Springs Sword, feeling itchy and eager to find someone to spar with.
His figure遁入虚空, arrived at the City Lord's Mansion in an instant.
Qiu Xuan, Li Shang, Zhuang Zongzheng and others would usually play chess, taste tea, and discuss Dao here when they were free.
The moment Chen Changsheng appeared, several people looked over with smiles on their faces.
Qiu Xuan smiled and spoke first: "Daoist Changsheng is finally willing to come out of seclusion?"
"It's a rare sight. With Daoist Changsheng's personality, he would actually seclude himself for twenty years," Li Shang said with a smile.
Zhuang Zongzheng pretended to be angry and retorted: "What are you talking about? Changsheng eats, drinks, and has fun every day, and only practices swords in his spare time. Can that be called seclusion? Our kind of people who stay in the main hall and don't come out is called seclusion, okay."
Compared to the seclusion of normal cultivators, Chen Changsheng's sword practice career cannot be called seclusion at all, but compared to himself, it is indeed a category of diligence and hard work…
Chen Changsheng smiled upon hearing this and said: "I have some insights in swordsmanship, Daoist Qiu, shall we practice?"
"Practice a hammer. Bullying my old bones, let Daoist Zhuang practice with you."
Qiu Xuan refused immediately, without the slightest hesitation, obviously having suffered at the hands of Chen Changsheng.
Zhuang Zongzheng was so frightened that he almost jumped up when he heard this. He hurriedly shook his head and said: "My cultivation is piled up with heavenly materials and earthly treasures, with too much water. Let Senior Li take action."
Li Shang shook his head with a smile: "You are really cowardly enough. Isn't it just a spar? Everyone stops when they reach the point. Victory shows progress, and failure can add to enlightenment."
"Alright, since that's the case, I will practice with Daoist Changsheng. I will suppress my cultivation to the Golden Core stage and let me see how Daoist Changsheng's newly enlightened sword technique is."
As he got up, he pointed to the open space, forming a barrier of Dao techniques to cover it.
Chen Changsheng was eager to try, and stepped into the barrier with Li Shang.
In an instant, the sound of swords rang out, and the Ninefold Yellow Springs Sword divided into thousands of sword shadows, circling in a ring, and simultaneously attacked Li Shang with thousands of sword techniques.
Sword energy raged, sword intent raged, sword light covered the sky and the earth, and the sound of swords was loud and piercing.
Zhuang Zongzheng and Qiu Xuan, who were standing outside the barrier, were shocked. Just looking at it with the naked eye, they could feel the sharpness of the sword light.
Zhuang Zongzheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a deep voice: "I knew it, Changsheng's sword technique must be ridiculously strong after breaking through. Sparring with him is just suffering."
Qiu Xuan smiled bitterly and sighed: "Daoist Changsheng is a rare dual cultivation of Dharma and body. His strength in the same realm can be called invincible. Even the direct disciples of the Holy Land have been defeated in the same realm, which shows that his future is immeasurable."
Zhuang Zongzheng nodded solemnly and said: "His ordinary aptitude, which was not favored in the past, is now cultivated above us, which is really ashamed."
In the meantime, thousands of rounds of confrontation came to an end.
The wanton sword intent gradually dissipated, and the ground in the barrier turned into a wasteland pit.
Chen Changsheng pointed out a small spell, and the wasteland pit was instantly filled, and a lawn grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He was very satisfied with the power of the Thousand Sword Realm. In the sparring just now, Li Shang was even forced to release the Nascent Soul cultivation, which shows the horror of the Thousand Sword Realm.
