Chapter 875 Killing the God
Ancestor Dugu frowned slightly, 'Cultivation of swords must be done step by step and don't aim too high.'

Mo Hua nodded and said: 'Ancestor, you are right, but you also said that the way of swordsmanship must have a beginning and an end. It has both a starting point and an end point, so that it will have a direction.'

'I practice sword energy every day now, which is the starting point of swordsmanship. The sword moves with spiritual thoughts turned into swords are the end point. Only with a beginning and an end can I have the direction to work hard to learn swordsmanship.'

Ancestor Dugu was startled.

This kid talks very eloquently, talking one thing after another.

It was different from all the kendo disciples he taught before.

This child has a clear Taoist heart, is sincere towards others, and has a natural temperament. Although he respects himself, he is not at all like other disciples who are timid and restrained in every possible way.

The former disciples, even Xuan'er, were in awe of his ancestor and did not dare to say too many words when preaching and teaching.

Not to mention someone like Mo Hua, who always asks a bunch of weird questions and makes small requests from time to time...

But he is right. Although it is important to lay a solid foundation for practicing swordsmanship, goals and directions are equally important.

After all, you have to let him know what he is studying for.

Ancestor Dugu nodded, 'Okay, I'll tell you briefly.'

Mo Hua perked up and said quickly: 'Thank you, ancestor!'

Then he sat upright and listened intently.

Ancestor Dugu thought deeply for a moment and said slowly: 'From the sword, cultivate the sword energy, transform the sword intention, and behind it there is the divine sword style.'

'There are four sword styles that can be used to transform spiritual thoughts into swords, namely, Transforming Swords, Shocking Gods, Breaking Gods, and Killing Gods. These four styles are not independent of each other, but proceed from the shallower to the deeper, step by step...'

'The Sword Transformation Style is the foundation and the introduction. It is the process of further manifesting the sword's intention, shaping the shape of the sword, and changing from real to virtual, and from virtual to real.'

'This sword move seems basic, but it contains profound meaning of the sword. From then on, the virtual 'sword intention' has a real 'sword shape'.'

'But the essence of the 'real' sword shape is still the 'virtual' sword intention.'

'There is an alternation of virtuality and reality, both virtuality and reality. You can't realize it now, but in the future...'

Having said this, Patriarch Dugu paused and suddenly realized that he had not taught a Foundation Establishment disciple for a long time, and he had accidentally gone too far.

The way of virtuality and reality, this is the experience of Dongxu Realm. It is too early to tell this child now...

But when he turned around, he saw that Mo Hua's eyes were shining and he was listening with great interest. He didn't know whether he really listened or just pretended to understand.

'These things... you will understand them when you reach a certain level in the future.'

Ancestor Dugu then continued:
'The Sword Transformation Style is the foundation and an introduction, but it is too weak after all. Even if it is transformed into a sword, it still needs to be carefully nurtured. It cannot be used easily, let alone kill people...'

'Therefore, if you want to use your spiritual thoughts to transform your sword into actual combat, you have to use an advanced sword style, the Jingshen Style.'

When Mo Hua heard this, he couldn't help being stunned.

As soon as he understood the 'Sword Transformation Style', he excitedly used it to kill everyone.

So far, he has used the 'Sword Transformation Style' to kill countless demons and evil spirits, even evil gods.

As a result, the ancestor told him at this time that the 'Sword Transformation Style' was not used to cut people at all...

This thing is actually just an 'embryo' that needs to be carefully nurtured...

Mo Hua suddenly felt very complicated.

Patriarch Dugu didn't know what Mo Hua was thinking, so he continued to explain to him:
'The Jingshen Style is the sharp sword intention that has been honed for decades or even hundreds of years by sword practitioners, further integrated into the 'Sword Transformation Style', and then through the soul, it is attempted to 'leave the body'.'

'As long as your sword intention is strong enough and sharpened enough, the more terrifying the sword intention will be to others when it comes out of the body.'

'Even monks who have a pure sword heart and have mastered the 'Shocking Sword' to the extreme. When fighting, just showing a trace of sword intention is enough to scare the enemy and make them fear without fighting.'

'The sword is filled with murderous intent, and the sword is full of horror.'

…

This is considered a formal training method for Jingshen Sword.

Mo Hua nodded.

Although the word 'spiritual mind' is used in spiritual sword cultivation, at its root, all methods start from the 'sword', then enter the Tao from the sword, and use the powerful sword intention to frighten the opponent.

My own 'Shocking Sword' is a bit like 'opportunistic'.

He was not good at swordsmanship, so he borrowed the method of 'Refining Evil' from the Water Prison Sect and transformed it. Therefore, when he used the Eye Technique to frighten the enemy, it was not just the sword power that frightened him, but also relying on the Tao Prison's mental state and the Prison Prison. Pain, intimidation, and fear.

It’s hard to say which one is better or worse in ink painting.

But his pupil technique is definitely 'unorthodox'.

But if you have learned everything, you can never lose it halfway.

Moreover, the orthodox 'Shocking Sword' does not conflict with his own seven soul 'Sword Pupil' technique.

On the contrary, if you learn the orthodox Jingshen Sword well, your eye skills will actually become stronger.

In the future, Mo Hua has an idea of the future advancement of the Jingshen Sword.

Ancestor Dugu had already mentioned the Sword Transformation Style and the God-Shocking Style. Mo Hua probably knew it by heart, so he asked again: 'Ancestor, what about the God-Breaking Style?'

Ancestor Dugu said solemnly: 'The Breaking God Style and the God-Slaying Style are very different. The Sword-Transforming Style is for getting started, and the Shocking God-Style is for opening one's mind. But after practicing the God-Breaking Style, one can only achieve success by transforming one's spiritual thoughts into swords. Only when you have mastered the God-Slaying Style can you be considered a master, and you can walk around and slay demons.”

'Oh!' Mo Hua looked expectantly.

Ancestor Dugu's eyes narrowed: 'The Broken Sword Style condenses the sword's intention and converges it at one point. The lethality is not great, but the penetrating power is strong.'

'Some evil spirits in the world have innate methods and evil thoughts. The evil spirits turn into armor, and their outer skin is as hard as iron.'

'Only by breaking its armor can you break its soul.'

'On the contrary, if the armor cannot be broken, no matter how much sword energy you use, it will not be able to damage it at all...'

'The Sword-Breaking Style, practiced to a high and deep level, can break all evil spirits.'

Mo Hua was slightly startled.

Sword breaking style... armor breaking?
Does the demon... have any armor?
He thought about it for a moment, and then he remembered that among the countless demons he killed, it seemed that a small number of them were indeed wearing 'armor'.

This kind of 'armor' looks very primitive.

Some are like ordinary thick iron, and some are more like the hair and scales of the demon itself.

And when he strangles these monsters to death, these 'armors' will indeed feel harder.

But in the way of spiritual thought, he can 'break all laws with one force.'

No matter how hard the demon armor was, even if he punched it a few times, it would be completely broken.
0000000000000000000000000000
If his ancestor hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have realized that this 'A' actually had another explanation.

As expected, there are quite a lot of things to pay attention to in the way of spiritual thought...

At this time, Patriarch Dugu finally talked about the last move.

'God-killing sword...'

Ancestor Dugu's eyes showed a hint of sharpness, 'It is the most powerful move in Taixu's Divine Mind Transformation Sword Art, and it is also the most powerful move...'

Mo Hua perked up and his ears stood up.

Ancestor Dugu continued: '...it is the most powerful, but also the most difficult to learn.'

'With the God-Slaying Sword, if you want to kill people, demons, demons, and finally gods, the first thing you have to kill is yourself.'

'Use the sword's will to continuously refine your life soul until the two finally become one.'

'The sword is life and soul.'

'In this way, the soul will also have the shape of a sword, which can kill all things with spiritual thoughts.'

'This is a process in which a sword cultivator completely integrates his own sword, his own way, his own life, and his own soul.'

'This process will be very painful and must be done with extreme caution.'

'Especially in the process of tempering the soul with the sword, the damage caused by the sword's intention to the soul will be very huge. If you are not careful, if you fail to practice the god-killing style, you will cut off your own soul...'

Ancestor Dugu looked extremely solemn.

Obviously, this kind of example of practicing beheading gods and being killed by oneself is not an exception in the history of Taixu Sect.

But Mo Hua's heart moved and he couldn't help but ask:

'Old Ancestor, you use a sword to temper your soul and kill yourself with your soul. How do you cultivate it?'

Ancestor Dugu said silently:
'This is the highest and most secret secret of spiritual thoughts turning into swords. I can't tell you yet, and if I tell you now, it will harm you.'

Mo Hua didn't want to give up. He thought for a while and then said, 'Then will you teach me in the future?'

Ancestor Dugu thought for a moment and nodded slowly.

Since he agreed to teach ink painting and transform spiritual thoughts into swords, he would naturally not break his promise.

If conditions permit, he will naturally teach.

Even if this spiritual thought turns into a sword, it is now classified as Taixu Gate Forbidden Technique.

And this god-killing method of 'quenching the soul with the sword' is the most 'taboo' method among the forbidden arts.

'In other words, you will teach me sooner or later?' Mo Hua asked again.

Ancestor Dugu thought for a while, nodded and said, 'Yes.'

'In that case,' Mo Hua said, 'you will teach me sooner or later, why not tell me now so that I can be mentally prepared.'

Ancestor Dugu frowned, 'What kind of mental preparation does this require?'

Mo Hua said: 'That's right, sooner or later I can learn the mental preparation for the 'God-killing Style'!'

Ancestor Dugu was a little speechless.

This kid can't even crawl, so he just wants to fly.

'Your sword energy is too weak and your foundation is too poor. You are still far away from being able to learn the Divine Sword. I can't teach you now.' Ancestor Dugu still refused.

Mo Hua took a lot of time, but no matter what he said, Patriarch Dugu remained unmoved.

Mo Hua sighed, looking a little disappointed.

Ancestor Dugu looked listlessly at Mo Huas, and suddenly felt a little bit regretful.

Although Mo Hua has poor swordsmanship, he is very hard-working and has a strong thirst for knowledge. He is currently the only one in the Taixu Sect who is still cultivating spiritual thoughts to transform into swords.

Don't suppress his enthusiasm too much.

Patriarch Dugu's tone revealed a hint of gentleness that he didn't even notice:
'You are still young, and it is too early to learn this. Don't rush it. Tempering the soul with a sword is too dangerous and too advanced for you to learn now.'

When Mo Hua saw Ancestor Dugu, his tone became softer and he immediately said: 'I don't want to learn, I just study.'

'Research?' Ancestor Dugu was startled.

'Well,' Mo Hua nodded, 'I learned sword energy too slowly. According to this progress, it will take years and months to learn how to transform the sword into a real sword with spiritual thoughts. There is nothing we can do about it. Learning swordsmanship is not something that can be accomplished overnight, but...'

'My foundation in swordsmanship is weak, but my foundation in spiritual consciousness is very strong.'

'In this case, it is better to study it from the perspective of spiritual consciousness first and ponder the principle of spiritual consciousness turning into a sword at the spiritual level.'

'In this way, sword energy and spiritual thoughts go hand in hand without delaying each other.'

'When I have mastered my sword skills, I will also have done some research on the changes in the spiritual thoughts that transform swords into spiritual thoughts. If I learn this way, I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort...'

Mo Huas are resonant and expressive.

Ancestor Dugu fell silent.

As for ink painting, it’s not unreasonable…

And it reminded him.

The main reason why he is willing to teach Mo Hua to turn his spiritual thoughts into swords, apart from Xuan'er's cause and effect, is because Mo Hua has strong spiritual thoughts and is on the path of 'divine knowledge and enlightenment'.

The sword is too weak and the spiritual sense is too strong.

In this way, it may not be possible to teach in a step-by-step manner according to the conventional method.

It might not be a bad thing for him to be exposed to some spiritual swordsmanship techniques in advance.

only……

Ancestor Dugu glanced at Mo Hua, 'Are you really just researching and not practicing?'

Mo Hua nodded repeatedly, 'Definitely! I'm not an idiot, so how can I practice now?'

'Besides, I can't even cultivate my sword intention, nor can I master the basic sword-forming techniques. Even if I want to practice more advanced sword techniques, I can't learn them at all...'

Mo Hua's eyes flickered a little.

Ancestor Dugu immediately frowned.

Intuitively, he felt that there was something wrong with Mo Hua's words and that his words seemed to be untrue.

But where is the 'untruth'?
If this is false, it means that he has cultivated his sword intention and learned the 'Sword Transformation Style'. Can he also learn the more advanced Divine Mind Sword Style?

This is even more impossible.

Ancestor Dugu looked at Mo Hua and finally nodded slowly, 'Okay, if you just want to study it, I can give you... the secret code of the God-breaking style first.'

'Where's the God-Slaying Style?'

'Only the God-breaking style, not the God-killing style.'

It's too difficult, extremely powerful, and murderous.

Mo Hua asked in a low voice: 'Can I do it all?'

Ancestor Dugu almost laughed angrily at him.

'What are you thinking about?'

'Then I want to kill the God!' Mo Hua insisted.

In fact, he doesn't really need the 'surprise victory' move like the God-Breaking Style in the way of divine thoughts.

He needs one sword to cut through all means.

All the monsters, monsters, evil spirits, evil spirits, all can be chopped off with one sword!
It was rare for the ancestor to relent, but he was shameless and had to persist to the end.

Otherwise, if you miss this village, you may not have this shop.

He wants to kill the divine sword!

Ancestor Dugu saw that Mo Hua was stubborn and had no choice but to say in the end: 'Then kill the god...'

Anyway, given them all, there is no difference between destroying gods and slaying gods.

Ink painting is overjoyed.
0000000000000000000000000000000
Ancestor Dugu cut through the void with a swipe of his finger and took out three bamboo slips. However, after thinking about it, he threw back two more, took out only the first one and handed it to Mo Hua.

'This is the method of quenching the soul with the sword.'

With a solemn expression, Mo Hua took the bamboo slip and found that there was no word on it. Only a sword was carved on it with an ancient pen.

Mo Hua was a little confused, 'Ancestor, what does this mean?'

Ancestor Dugu only said: 'The way to kill the gods is in it. You have to understand it yourself. If you can understand it, it means you can understand it. If you can't understand it, it means you still don't understand it.'

The ink-painted scalp is slightly numb.

As expected of an ancestor, this sharpshooter can fight as well as if he didn't fight...

But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it seemed to make sense.

If you can understand it yourself, then you can understand it even if your ancestor doesn’t say it.

If you can't understand it, it means that your attainments are not deep and your skills are not good enough, so don't talk about 'breaking the gods' or 'killing the gods'. Be honest and continue to practice from the bottom of the sword.

but……

Mo Hua asked again: 'Ancestor, don't you have three bamboo slips?'

Just now, with his sharp eyes, he saw the ancestor taking out three bamboo slips from the void somewhere.

Ancestor Dugu's face darkened, 'There is only one.'

Mo Hua stared at him.

Ancestor Dugu’s face was as dark as water.

Okay, just one...

When you get a bargain, you can't be greedy.

If the ancestor could give him this bamboo slip, it was already a great gift, and he couldn't take it too far.

'Thank you, ancestor!' Mo Hua said gratefully.

For some reason, Patriarch Dugu silently breathed a sigh of relief.

'Remember what I said to you, you can read it, you can think it, but don't practice it.'

Then Patriarch Dugu asked again, 'Also, please keep this bamboo slip. Don't let outsiders see it, let alone lose it. Return it after reading it...'

Mo Hua agreed wholeheartedly, 'Ancestor, don't worry, I've remembered it all!'

It was getting late, so Patriarch Dugu sent Mo Hua back to his disciple's residence.

After returning to the disciples' residence, Mo Hua couldn't sleep at all. Almost immediately, he took out the bamboo slip that Patriarch Dugu had given him, no... it was temporarily lent to him.

The bamboo slips are very rough, as if someone picked up a piece of bamboo and whittled it into it.

But among the simplicity, there is also a sense of naturalness and return to nature.

On the bamboo slip, there is a sword with ancient and interesting carvings.

Mo Hua stared at the sword mark.

After a while, nothing was seen.

Not only is it difficult to learn how to transform spiritual thoughts into swords, but the inheritance is also made so obscure.

Mo Hua shook his head.

But no matter how difficult it is, this is still a matter of spiritual consciousness.

As long as it has something to do with spiritual consciousness, Mo Hua has enough confidence and experience to deduce and study it bit by bit.

I forgot about food and sleep, and after thinking about it for about two days, I finally got some ideas about Mo Hua.

This kendo bamboo slip is essentially similar to the 'Water Prison Box' of Guishuimen.

This is a kind of 'kind' visualization.

Although it is not a visualization picture, it relies on 'pictures' to inscribe inheritance. Monks obtain inheritance through visualization.

'Would you like to study?'

Mo Hua is a bit confusing.

The God-Slaying Style is very powerful, but if you have to use a sword to temper the soul and kill the soul yourself, the risk is also extremely high.

What's more, he is now 'skipping a grade' in school.

He skipped Taixu's orthodox 'Jingshen Sword', skipped the 'Sword-Breaking Sword' that condensed sword intent and destroyed evil spirits, and directly started to learn the final 'God-Destroying Sword'.

But it doesn’t seem to work if you don’t learn.

The evil fetus resides in the soul of life, like a ray on the back or a fishnet in the throat.

Ink painting is really not fun.

'Let's try it first...'

At midnight, Mo Hua burned incense, bathed, meditated, and calmed down his mind. Then he took out the bamboo slips and prepared to use his sword to quench his soul and practice the Divine Sword Style.

He stared at the bamboo slip with his eyes, imagining the ancient sword mark on the bamboo slip.

At first, nothing happened.

There is no feeling at all in Mo Hua.

But gradually, as his mind became calmer and the longer he meditated, the sword marks on the bamboo slips also gradually changed.

This sword mark seemed to be transforming into a sword little by little.

This sword is intangible and has no quality. It contains a trace of ancient and majestic sword intent. It has the division of yin and yang in a trance, and the power of Taixu's rotation.

And Mo Hua's spiritual thoughts communicated with the sword.

The tip of this sword also pointed at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua was startled for a moment, and then his expression suddenly dawned.

His eyes were slightly cold, he gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said silently in his heart:

'cut!'

The sword intent instantly broke through the air, directly penetrated into his sea of consciousness through Mo Hua's eyes, and struck at his soul.

An extremely severe pain came.

An extremely shrill cry followed.

This cry came from Mo Hua's mouth, but it was not shouted by Mo Hua.

At the same time, Mo Hua's face became dark and evil, and turned into the evil baby, screaming:

'Ignorant brat! What are you doing? Do you want to die?!'
