Chapter 162: Sword Douluo is deeply shocked
A chief core elder of the Jidao Yin-Yang Leopard Clan moved to Beiyuan with the Jiuxin Begonia Clan, while Zhuang Xingyu, Zhuang Jingxing, and Zhuang Shushen led a part of the clansmen and affiliated forces to the ancient ruins of Soto City, determined to expose the conspiracy of the Eastern Divine Religion to fabricate false history.

Not long after leaving Tiandou City, Ning Fengzhi caught up with the Jidao Yinyang Leopard Clan, the Huangfu Family, and the Tiandou Royal Family, and shouted, "Brother Jingxing, Brother Ye, Brother Ba Ri, wait for me, wait for me, are you also going to the ancient ruins of Soto City? It's on the way, let's go together!"

Ever since the rise of the Jidao Yin Yang Leopard Clan, the status of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in the hearts of the Tiandou Royal Family has become lower and lower. Now the Jidao Yin Yang Leopard Clan, the Huangfu Family, and the Tiandou Royal Family are setting out together without taking the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect with them. This makes Ning Fengzhi very helpless and sad.

"It's Brother Feng Zhi. Great, we can chat on the way." Zhuang Jingxing agreed.

"Feng Zhi, come quickly. I was just thinking of calling you just now, as we were all going to set off together, but I didn't see you. It's a good thing you're here." Xue Ye also poked his head out from the side.

Four huge convoys headed together to the so-called [Soto Ancient City Ruins].

Ning Fengzhi asked: "Brother Jingxing, Brother Ye, Brother Ba Ri, what do you think of the 45-year-old ancient city ruins sold by the Barak royal family? Is it credible?"

Xue Ye beside him shook his head. "What Barak Kingdom? It's just a puppet of the Eastern Divine Religion. However, I still don't understand the real purpose of the Eastern Divine Religion. They created such a big fuss at the Infinite Auction to promote the ancient ruins they discovered, and even let other forces participate for free. I don't know what the hell they are doing."

Although Xue Ye is not clear about the other party's ultimate goal now, this does not stop him from joining in the fun. In order to activate the clan treasure, he will go wherever there is hope for a Titled Douluo level battle to break out. Anyway, his Eastern Divine Cult can't be trying to gather everyone together and then catch them all in one fell swoop. They don't have the strength to do so.

Zhuang Jingxing made a straightforward conclusion, "Credibility? How can the Eastern Divine Religion have any credibility? It's all fake. The Eastern Divine Religion can't even fake things. How can they find ancient human relics that are well preserved and contain many cultural relics from 45 years ago? Are you kidding me?"

"Let's take my Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Realm as an example. The outdoor stone carvings left by our ancestors five hundred years ago have now become blurred by the baptism of time, and this is still under the careful protection of my clan. And that relic was unearthed from underground. There is a lot of rainfall in the area, so it is impossible to preserve it so intact."

"Where are the ruins that the Eastern Divine Religion has publicized? They are on a barren mountain west of Soto City. According to our tribe's exploration, this place was below sea level 45 years ago, so it is impossible for there to be any ancient human relics. It is not certain whether there were humans at that time." Zhuang Jingxing has learned from his son that the humans on Douluo Continent migrated from the rest of the world years ago. Before, Douluo Continent only had one kind of intelligent creature, the soul beast.

Zhuang Jingxing continued to elaborate on his point of view, "And what's the most coincidental thing? This relic was not discovered earlier or later, but was discovered shortly after the Eastern Divine Religion entered the world, and it happened to be discovered near the Eastern Divine Religion's base camp, Soto City."

Huangfu Ba Ri, who was standing by, echoed Zhuang Jingxing's point of view, and his deep and rich voice rang out, "My father-in-law is right, I think so too."

Ning Fengzhi started to smooth things over and pass the buck again, not wanting to offend either side. "Brother Jingxing is right. Judging from the evidence that the Eastern Divine Cult has produced, there are indeed many doubts."

Zhuang Xingyu was sitting in a carriage nearby, looking at Ning Fengzhi through X-ray vision and shook his head. The biggest characteristic of Ning Fengzhi was that he was too smooth and cautious. This was his strength and weakness. He wanted to get involved in everything, but he couldn't clearly determine his own strength. He was not someone with whom he could make close friends or cooperate deeply.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the carriage, "Master Xingyu, hello, Master Xingyu, I am Chen Xin, I would like to visit you, is it convenient?"

Zhuang Xingyu saw that it was Chen Xin. He didn't have much contact with him, so he didn't understand why he came to see him alone. "It turns out to be Jian Douluo. Please come in. What can I do for you?"

"Hello, Young Master Xingyu. His Majesty Binghuo is also here. Hello, Senior Binghuo. May I bother you, Young Master Xingyu, for a few minutes?" Chen Xin took the initiative to find Zhuang Xingyu and start a conversation.

"Just say whatever you want to say, Sword Douluo."

Jian Douluo took out a stack of papers and asked sincerely, "When I was at the celebration of the Extreme Yin Yang Leopard Clan three years ago, I felt that you had a majestic sword spirit, which was even stronger than mine. It's really hard to imagine that you were only 3 years old at that time. I instantly felt that my decades of swordsmanship career had been wasted. During this period, I always wanted to discuss and exchange with you and learn swordsmanship, but I never found a suitable opportunity."

"I know that no swordsman would pass on his hard work to outsiders, but as a swordsman, swordsmanship is my lifelong pursuit and the goal that my family has been fighting for for generations. I can sacrifice my life for it! So I am still very presumptuous to bother you. I hope you can give me some advice. For this, I can give all the treasures I personally own."

"This paper contains a set of sword manuals, which are some of my immature ideas about swordsmanship over the years. Please take a look at it. I hope you can correct me."

At the same time, Jian Douluo took out a complete 3-year-old right arm bone and said, "This is a deposit, please accept it."

Zhuang Xingyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Sword Douluo, you are too kind. You don't need to address me as 'you'. In fact, in terms of swordsmanship alone, you are already among the top five in the current Douluo Continent, which is already quite remarkable."

Chen Xin waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, I don't dare. My achievements are all due to the influence of my ancestors. How dare I show off my skills in front of you? Throughout the ages, the master is always the one who has achieved success. You have a soul power of level 13 at the age of 69, and two hundred thousand year soul rings. Your achievements are much greater than those of me, who is half buried in the ground. Your talent is unparalleled, not to mention that you are far better than me in swordsmanship. I hope you can give me some pointers. Chen Xin will be grateful. As long as you don't let me mobilize the interests of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, you can let me do anything for you!"

Zhuang Xingyu actually had a pretty good impression of the swordsman Chen Xin. Without any inheritance from the gods, it was already very good that he could practice swordsmanship to his level in this small pond of Douluo Continent.

The Chen family's ancestral self-created soul skill "Suifeng Sword Technique" is even more powerful than the Great Xumi Hammer of the Haotian Sect. If it weren't for the single-line inheritance of the Seven Killing Sword Martial Soul and the small number of soul masters, it would be hard to say whether the throne of the first weapon soul would be the Haotian Hammer; (This set of Suifeng Sword Technique was added in the comics, and the setting is quoted here)
Chen Xin's ninth soul skill "God and Demon Slash" can temporarily achieve the state of unity between man and sword; the Seven Killing Fields are also very good. Zhuang Xingyu saw that the other party's attitude was quite sincere and sincere, so he took the sword manual handed over by Chen Xin and said, "In this case, I will help you take a look."

After all, they are not from the same force, so Zhuang Xingyu naturally won't teach Chen Xin too many things. He will let him gain some insights into swordsmanship, but he will definitely not let him break through to level 97 just by this. If you want to reach level 97, Chen Xin should just practice honestly at his own pace, unless he is willing to completely submit to the Extreme Yin-Yang Leopard Clan.

Jian Douluo hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Master Xingyu, thank you, Master Xingyu!"

Zhuang Xingyu's mental power swept through the sword manual, and he quickly saw through all the shortcomings in it. "I can see that you are studying this sword manual yourself in order to break away from the limitations of the Seven Killing Swords, and want to break away from the self-created soul skills passed down by your ancestors, and walk a new path on your own. You probably encountered a bottleneck in your swordsmanship, so you want to walk the swordsmanship practice path again, create a set of swordsmanship that can be popularized to everyone, and constantly improve your own swordsmanship through the problems that others encounter in their practice, and finally break through the bottleneck."

"Yes, yes, that's right, you are amazing, I have never told anyone about this, but you saw it at a glance." Chen Xin said excitedly. He was glad that he had found the right person. It was a great opportunity to meet a pioneer who could give him guidance without knowing the way ahead!
Zhuang Xingyu analyzed Jian Douluo's problem, "But you overlooked a few issues. First of all! Sword skills are inherently unpredictable. There is no sword manual that is suitable for everyone. Practicing sword skills to death will only make a person useless. It will wipe out the creativity of beginners. They will only know how to imitate and will never be able to surpass the creator."

"Like Qian Daoliu from the Spirit Hall. Your father should have told you about him. Qian Daoliu practices the Angel Sword Technique passed down from our ancestors, which is much stronger than the Suifeng Sword Technique you practice."

"But his ultimate achievement in swordsmanship is definitely not as good as yours. He worships the Angel Swordsmanship too much and regards it as an indelible truth. He dares not raise any doubts or make any changes based on his actual situation. In fact, if he makes some changes in some places, the power can be greatly increased. In this respect, you are better than him. Of course, the premise is that you still have enough lifespan."

"The only things suitable for everyone to practice are the basic sword moves such as chopping and stabbing. Of course, I am not saying that these basic sword moves are not important. These basic sword moves are the most important. Don't confuse them. When you practice to the level of returning to the original state, you will understand what I mean."

"Secondly, although I haven't seen the set of self-created soul skills passed down by your clan, based on your sword intent and previous combat situations, your sword manual seems to have made many changes in sword moves, but it still has not escaped the influence of Suifeng Sword Technique. In essence, it is still a patchwork of Suifeng Sword Technique."

"On this aspect, I suggest you make the best of it and change your mindset to continue moving forward, creating a sword manual suitable for everyone to practice, and then find problems based on it. The workload here is too huge, and it is not something you can complete in one generation. Moreover, to be honest, with your current ability, you can't realize this idea at all. The swordsmanship passed down by your clan is very good, and it is also compatible with your Seven Killing Sword martial spirit. If you continue to move forward, there will be different surprises."

Chen Xin listened attentively like a child, his eyes gradually brightening, "Thank you for your guidance, every word you said hit the core of my problem, which I had never discovered before. Now my thoughts are completely clear!"

Zhuang Xingyu drank a cup of tea and continued, "I can only point out the general direction for you. As for the specific details, how to do it, and what changes are needed, you need to modify and explore them yourself, because some roads must be walked by yourself to gain more. If I personally modify the sword manual for you now, it can certainly quickly improve your strength, but I am afraid that you can only live in my shadow in the future, and you will never be able to climb to the top of the sword and overlook a different world. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand, I understand. I understand your good intentions. You are absolutely right!" Chen Xin nodded heavily.

Zhuang Xingyu didn't say much. What he said just now was correct, but it depends on the target. It is a problem that needs to be considered at least in the Taiqing realm. Ordinary people can't even reach the Shangqing realm in their lifetime. They are thankful to be able to obtain a high-level technique to practice. Take Jian Douluo for example. With his talent, he can't practice the techniques of the middle stage of Shangqing to the end, which is enough for his lifetime.

If you still want to explore on your own, you will take too many detours and encounter many pitfalls. The progress of spiritual practice is to stand on the shoulders of giants and keep moving forward. It is too difficult to start from scratch.

Zhuang Xingyu naturally couldn't say these words to Chen Xin. You Chen Xin are not my subordinate. At most, I can only give you two soul bones of 30,000 to 40,000 years old. Why should I help you improve your skills to the Shangqing realm? Many gods in the God Realm don't have this.

Zhuang Xingyu continued, "Next, I will point out several major directions and provide you with some new ideas..."

Zhuang Xingyu did not tell him the orthodox sword techniques of Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao, but instead made up a bunch of nonsense, telling Chen Xin about the sword techniques he had seen in online articles in his previous life. Some were true and some were false, but it was enough for Chen Xin to use. As long as he could grasp one sentence and study it carefully, he would be able to gain a lot.

For example, when you see a mountain, it is a mountain, and when you see water, it is water; when you see a mountain, it is not a mountain, and when you see water, it is not water; when you see a mountain, it is still a mountain, and when you see water, it is still water.

For example, a sharp sword has no intention, it is fierce and fierce, and it can break through anything; a soft sword has no constant, the army has no constant position, and the water has no constant flow; a heavy sword has no edge, and great skill is not skillful; a wooden sword has no match, and flying flowers and picked leaves can hurt people; there is no sword and no moves, there is no sword in the hand and no sword in the heart, there is a sword in the hand and there is a sword in the heart, there is a sword in the hand and there is no sword in the heart, the sword is born from the heart, there is no sword in the hand and there is no sword in the heart.

For example, the ruthless sword art, the extremely passionate sword art... sword momentum, sword intent, sword domain, sword technique, sword art and so on.

Chen Xin was stunned. He had never heard of these things before, but they felt very powerful and mysterious. He didn't know which direction to work towards for a moment.

Chen Xin's face was filled with shock, his worldview was almost reshaped, and even his swordsmanship could not withstand the impact and was almost broken. "I didn't expect that swordsmanship could have so many profound things. Many years ago, I always claimed to be the best swordsman in Douluo Continent, and even used the word 'Sword' as my title. Now I think I am so ridiculous. I can only do a little bit, but I am showing off. I deserve to die! My life's work is nothing. I am such a waste. I don't deserve the word swordsman."

Zhuang Xingyu waved his hand to let him retreat and calm down, "Sword Douluo, there is no need to doubt yourself, just keep working hard."

Chen Xin got off the carriage in a daze, looking very depressed.
