To practice the Thunder Blade Art, one must first understand the meaning of Thunder.
Thunder is the pivot of heaven and earth, the source of all things, and the transformation of yin and yang, life and death.
Only by comprehending the meaning of Thunder and then practicing the Thunder Blade Art can the artistic conception be combined with the blade techniques to achieve results.
Thunder Nine Styles, Thunder Eighteen Styles, Thirty-six Styles, up to Seventy-two Styles.
The Thunder Nine Styles are the nine transformations of Thunder, each change being a variation of Thunder.
The ultimate Thunder Seventy-two Styles are the seventy-two transformations of Thunder, encompassing all changes in heaven and earth.
These moves are the mysteries of Thunder's evolution. Without the cooperation of artistic conception, they are just ordinary flashy displays.
Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes and began to imagine the situation when he first comprehended the Dao of Illusion and Reality, the Dao of Fast and Slow.
After a moment, he opened his eyes, gleaming brightly and piercingly.
Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand, signaling him to practice his own skills, and already drew his blade from its sheath.
The Bright Moon Blade moved slowly.
Zou Fang was in a daze for a moment, feeling as if a lightning bolt had flashed past.
The Bright Moon Blade was like a lightning bolt cutting through the silence in a sky covered with dark clouds.
One after another.
Lightning bolts were of various "Z" shapes. He never imagined that lightning could have so many changes.
The Bright Moon Blade was not fast, but it gave him the feeling of lightning flashing.
One lightning bolt after another, before the previous one disappeared, the next one already appeared.
Later on, countless lightning bolts crisscrossed, as if forming an electric net, omnipresent and all-encompassing.
The sky full of lightning suddenly disappeared.
Chu Zhiyuan stood still, holding the Bright Moon Blade.
A purple electric current pulsed unceasingly between his body and the Bright Moon Blade.
Zou Fang was shocked.
Could this be attracting thunder to fall?
Chu Zhiyuan waved his blade again.
This time, his figure flickered, almost disappearing, and the Bright Moon Blade also disappeared, with only purple electric currents flashing.
One after another, the purple electric currents crisscrossed, becoming more and more numerous, eventually forming a sea of lightning, dazzling and blinding.
Later on, the sea of lightning became fuller and fuller, forming a thunder pool.
Zou Fang only felt his hair standing on end and his clothes fluttering, as if he was about to be sucked into the thunder pool.
He desperately steadied his figure and circulated his energy to protect himself, but there was little difference whether he circulated his energy or not.
In front of this thunder pool, he was vulnerable and was slowly moving towards it.
He wanted to plant his feet into the blue bricks but couldn't, as he was bound by the power emanating from the thunder pool and floated up.
The next moment, the thunder pool disappeared.
Zou Fang still had afterimages of lightning flashing in his eyes.
He breathed a sigh of relief, still feeling lingering fear.
Chu Zhiyuan opened his eyes, the purple light in his eyes flickering and slowly receding.
He shook his head.
This Thunder Blade Art is a quick way to achieve success. He is practicing it with the realm of the Blade God, and it is a natural process.
But unfortunately, the Thunder Blade Art is not what he imagined.
It cannot break through the void and open up space.
What truly opens up space is not the Thunder Blade Art, but that Heavenly Blade.
The ultimate goal of practicing the Thunder Blade Art is to become the Blade God.
The essence of the Thunder Blade Art is not immortality, but invincible killing power.
It is a blade of slaughter. You die, I live. Its upper limit and purpose are inferior to the Glazed Blade Sutra.
But the Thunder Blade Art is not without its advantages.
Thunder can not only kill enemies but also temper the body.
Guiding a strand of thunder power to temper the body and strengthen it.
The advantage of this method is that it takes effect quickly and makes rapid progress.
Tempering again and again until there is nothing left to temper and nothing stronger to become.
He felt that his body had become stronger, and his Claw Art had improved, with extremely fast results.
Compared with the Glazed Blade Sutra, in terms of body tempering, it emphasizes the unity of the blade and the person, and does not simply strengthen.
Chu Zhiyuan experienced the similarities and differences between the two and smiled.
The Thunder Blade Art also has a great benefit: increasing speed.
Not only lightness skill but also moves.
With the power of thunder integrated into spiritual power, the current lightness skill speed has at least doubled.
In the void of his mind, there was a round of rising sun, a round of bright moon, and then a ball of purple light.
They kept to themselves.
During breakfast at Qingwang Manor, the family of four sat at the table to eat.
Chu Minghou looked solemn.
Bai Ning霜 shook her head: "Your Highness, after returning to the mansion, let go of those matters of the court and don't bother with them."
"Alas," Chu Minghou shook his head and said, "How can I not bother with them?"
Chu Zhiyuan asked, "What's going on in the court?"
"We received news that Da Meng and Da Zhen are secretly negotiating peace and even want to form a marriage alliance."
"Da Meng and Da Zhen want to bypass us and directly negotiate peace," Chu Minghou shook his head and said, "And the court's idea is a three-party peace talk."
Chu Zhiyuan snorted, "Da Meng is up to no good."
Chu Minghou nodded, "That's indeed the case."
"Then there's no need to talk to Da Meng anymore. Just stop it."
"If we really stop the peace talks with Da Meng—" Chu Minghou hesitated, "I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome."
"Are you worried that Da Meng and Da Zhen will join forces to deal with us?"
"Exactly."
Chu Zhiyuan thought for a while, picked up a piece of Ice Demon Beast meat, and slowly chewed it in his mouth.
Chu Yi said, "Father, then the court should look for Da Zhen."
Chu Minghou shook his head, "Da Zhen doesn't admit it."
Chu Yi snorted, "Betraying trust and abandoning righteousness, Da Zhen is this kind of villain."
Chu Minghou nodded, "Repeatedly jumping back and forth, Da Zhen has always been like this."
Chu Zhiyuan pondered and slowly said, "Da Zhen is feeling pressure and threat."
The number of Grandmasters in Da Jing is rapidly increasing, especially in the army.
This will greatly affect the strength of the army.
The Phoenix Camp and the Martial Arts Academy have Grandmasters emerging one after another. Da Zhen and Da Meng must be watching.
Chu Minghou said, "We don't trust Da Zhen, and Da Zhen doesn't trust us either."
Even if the two dynasties conclude an alliance and jointly develop Da Zhen's new secret realm.
They still cannot truly trust each other.
After all, they have split and merged so many times that they know each other very well.
The truce is to prepare for the next war.
It will never be peaceful forever, there will always be war.
"Da Zhen—is playing tricks," Chu Zhiyuan slowly said.
He had already seen through it.
The war between Da Zhen and Da Jing is actually a necessity for the two dynasties to maintain their respective rule.
When domestic conflicts intensify to a certain extent, they use war to transfer the conflicts and resolve them.
They use war to cleanse themselves, thereby maintaining the stability of the country.
Chu Zhiyuan didn't know how many people had seen through this layer.
But regardless of whether they saw through it or not, being in the game, they could only be coerced forward.
Chu Yi said, "Brother, if a war really breaks out and Da Meng and Da Zhen join forces, we can't win."
Chu Zhiyuan slowly said, "Looking at it now, we really can't win. It's hard to say after ten years."
Even if they can defeat Da Zhen, they cannot destroy Da Zhen and swallow Da Zhen.
Therefore, the two dynasties have always been fighting and stopping, stopping and fighting, like a married couple.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Father, Da Zhen wants to get involved in the Phoenix Camp and the Martial Arts Academy."
"Hmm?" Chu Minghou grunted.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Let's see if they mention the Martial Arts Academy and the Phoenix Camp."
Chu Minghou slowly said, "If they really get involved in the Martial Arts Academy and the Phoenix Camp, the court will never agree."
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.
That's not certain.
If Da Jing really wants to dominate the world, not only will Da Meng not agree, but Da Zhen will also not agree.
He estimated that in the end, the court would still have to compromise, using the quota of the Martial Arts Academy or the quota of the Phoenix Camp to exchange for something.
