Chapter 14651 Here we go again?
Ling Xiao pondered a question repeatedly in his mind.
What is "momentum"?
Is it the power of heaven and earth? Is it a projection of one's state of mind and will? Or is it the trajectory of the movement of power?
How can one refine this ethereal "momentum" into their own martial arts skills and transform it into a "momentum-breaking" attack capable of destroying all constraints?
He didn't understand.
At this moment, he desperately longed for someone to offer some guidance. Even though he had experienced several cycles of reincarnation, the laws of the Bai Ze Continent were completely different from those of this Silent Realm. Much of his previous experience was no longer applicable.
However, there was no one beside him.
Within the Demon Needle Space, Sword Demon had long since fallen into a deep sleep, remaining unresponsive no matter how he called out to him. The only one who might have offered guidance, the "Black Soul King," had only left behind the four words "Comprehend it yourself" before disappearing without a trace.
This gave Ling Xiao quite a headache.
Perhaps, with just a word of enlightenment, he could suddenly see the light and break through that insurmountable barrier.
But then he thought about it again and felt relieved.
Many profound principles of martial arts can only be truly mastered through personal experience, repeated contemplation, and countless trials, until a moment of sudden enlightenment occurs.
The wisdom of others may be like a guiding light, but it only illuminates their path.
Ultimately, one must forge their own path.
Time flowed silently in the deathly stillness.
Deep within the secret mountain range, Lingxiao sat cross-legged, his aura gradually merging with the mountains, rivers, grass, and trees, even his breathing becoming barely perceptible, like an ancient stone sculpture, silent and still.
Demonic cultivation, and indeed all the great cultivation paths in the myriad realms, often rely on that profound and mysterious "sudden enlightenment."
A single thought can reveal the mysteries of heaven and earth; a single thought can extinguish it, perhaps trapping one in a cage for life.
Life is just like that.
However, if the opportunity has not yet arrived, even if one sits in meditation for a hundred years and exhausts all one's efforts, it may all be in vain. Just like him now, if he cannot comprehend that elusive "momentum," perhaps in this life he will only be able to stop at the "self-demon" realm and never be able to touch the higher peak of martial arts.
True top-tier experts are extremely rare, one in ten thousand.
Ling Xiao sat there, his mind as still as water, focusing his attention on his dantian, letting the sun and moon alternate and the stars revolve.
...
Breaking the Boundary Mountain.
After the three sword cultivators from the Sword Star Sanctuary perished, this already chaotic spacetime ruin entered an unprecedented state of alert.
Inside and outside the valley, powerful figures could be seen patrolling everywhere, and the divine senses of various forces intertwined to form a net that covered every inch of land.
All the powerful knew perfectly well that this matter could never be resolved so easily!
How could the Sword Star Holy Hall, so domineering, tolerate its members being slaughtered and its sect's dignity being trampled upon?
A storm that will sweep across the entire Broken Boundary Mountain is quietly brewing.
Meanwhile, various forces within the valley were frantically searching for the whereabouts of the Demon Lord's Black Sky Sword. They dug three feet into the ground and searched every corner, but to no avail.
Now, they are also unsure whether that supreme treasure, capable of breaking through boundaries, has truly fallen into the hands of the Sword Star Sanctuary.
Initially, some people did have doubts about Ling Xiao. After all, he was the one who placed the demonic sword at the auction and stirred up this storm.
But every time doubts arose, the middle-aged man Zhao Kuo would be the first to step forward to defend Ling Xiao. After all, it was he who had personally used his divine sense to examine Ling Xiao's body and confirmed that there was no trace of the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword on him.
Moreover, with Ling Xiao's meager cultivation at the Great Sun Realm, it was simply impossible for him to steal the Demon Sword silently right under the noses of dozens of Breaking Realm experts.
Thus, after repeated debates and investigations, the powerful figures of Broken Boundary Mountain gradually removed Ling Xiao from the list of suspects...
Ling Xiao's suspicion has been completely erased from the minds of everyone at Pojie Mountain.
It was simply because no one believed he possessed such extraordinary abilities.
Now that Ling Xiao has been ruled out, the mastermind's target is left with only one person.
Sword Star Sanctuary!
Because everyone saw with their own eyes that the one who stole the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword was a person skilled in swordsmanship!
This matter is absolutely inextricably linked to the Sword Star Sanctuary!
On this day, a ripple suddenly appeared in the void outside the Broken Boundary Mountain.
A sword cultivator slowly walked out of the void.
The newcomer appeared to be around thirty or forty years old, dressed in a plain white outfit with a black half-sleeved jacket over it, and a simple, sheathed longsword hanging at his waist. His long hair was unbound and casually draped over his shoulders, yet he exuded no ruggedness whatsoever, but rather a calm and refined scholarly air.
He walked slowly and steadily, each step he took landing precisely on a void node, calming even the surrounding turbulence.
Soon, he arrived at the broken gate of Broken Boundary Mountain.
call out!
Zhao Kuo's figure suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.
Zhao Kuo stared intently at the newcomer, his gaze grave, remaining silent. The protective energy around him had already been quietly circulated to its maximum.
The swordsman did not look at him, but simply raised his head slightly, his gaze fixed on the clouds above.
There stood a middle-aged man dressed in a gray-blue scholar's robe, his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering, and a faint smile playing on his lips. He was none other than Qin Mu, who had previously suppressed the old man in the blood-red robe!
The sword cultivator's voice was clear and calm, like a mountain stream flowing: "Qin Mu... was once recognized as the number one genius in the Han Hai Kingdom, and one of the strongest in that era. He has been in seclusion for many years, and I never expected him to appear here."
Qin Mu, who was above the clouds, chuckled upon hearing this, his voice clear and resonant: "It seems that the Sword Star Sanctuary has done its homework on me for today's events."
The sword cultivator nodded slowly, his tone indifferent yet carrying an undeniable air of authority: "Three sword cultivators from my Sword Star Holy Hall have perished here, and this matter is all related to you."
Qin Mu nodded calmly, his expression composed: "Indeed, this matter concerns me."
His gaze slowly descended, landing on the swordsman, and the smile on his lips deepened: "And then?"
The sword cultivator raised his eyes, his gaze meeting Qin Mu's in mid-air. A sharp glint flashed in his calm eyes: "You are very confident."
Upon hearing this, Qin Mu shook his head and chuckled, his tone somewhat mocking: "What? Are you threatening me?"
Before he finished speaking, the swordsman's longsword was still in its sheath; he simply gripped the hilt and lightly slashed through the air.
hum!
A condensed, azure sword aura suddenly burst forth, like a rainbow spanning the heavens and earth, carrying a sharp aura that could tear through the void, and slashed directly at Qin Mu above the clouds!
On the cloud, Qin Mu's expression remained unchanged. He simply raised his right hand, pressed down with one hand, and made a light, perfunctory gesture.
boom!
An invisible, immense force, like a mountain collapsing, suddenly descended. The incomparably sharp sword aura was abruptly frozen in mid-air, unable to advance an inch. The light on the sword aura flickered slightly, as if it would dissipate at any moment.
But in that instant, the sword cultivator's figure suddenly blurred and disappeared from the spot like a ghost.
