Tai Shi Shi Tian Jue

Chapter 108 A Pure Lotus Planted in the Mud!

After settling into a random room, Chu Feng began to ponder deeply. For the past month or so, he had rarely focused on comprehending his own Dao.

I have always done things according to my own wishes.

Meeting Ye Changsheng today, he suddenly realized that if he remained stuck in the past, he would probably be defeated by Ye Changsheng in the future!

A gentleman's sword? A king's sword? A villain's sword? Ye Changsheng actually cultivates multiple sword styles simultaneously?

Today's battle, I originally thought that Ye Changsheng had only practiced a variety of sword techniques, but I never expected that this person would even change his heart on the way of the sword.

As everyone knows, in the path of the sword, one can only have one Dao heart!

Therefore, for a long time, sword cultivators have been upright, honest, and resilient people.

However, Ye Changsheng overturned Chu Feng's understanding!

Ruthless and vicious, cunning and calculating, willing to do anything for resources! They'll eat one neighbor's food and then another's! They kill without blinking an eye!

Hu Junxiong, wasn't he in cahoots with you? You even betrayed your employer's people? You have absolutely no bottom line!

When fighting against himself, this person appears upright, elegant, and honorable.

What kind of person is this? Is this person righteous or evil?

What kind of sword cultivator is this? Does he have no taboos?

If this person can truly master multiple sword techniques, he will surely become the most difficult person to deal with in the future. If such a person were to become my enemy, it would be truly terrifying!

Because there are no rules that can restrain him!

For those who cultivate themselves, no moral or legal system can restrain them; their only weakness is their Daoist heart!

If one's Dao heart collapses, one will inevitably suffer a qi deviation and all one's cultivation will vanish. This person can even change one's Dao heart. How can one deal with such a person?

If one can change their Daoist heart, then there will be no flaws!

A flaw in one's Dao heart gives rise to inner demons. This person can even change his Dao heart, so where do these inner demons come from? He himself is the greatest inner demon!

Could it be that a sword cultivator who practices the Sentimental Sword Path can also cultivate the Ruthless Sword Path?

Is there any conflict between cultivating the Gentleman's Sword and cultivating the Scoundrel's Sword?

Can different Daoist minds coexist? Or even merge?

I certainly won't be like Ye Changsheng, who can be both a gentleman and a villain. A gentleman is a gentleman, and a villain is a villain. So, what exactly is my path?

How should one cultivate their own swordsmanship?

If he hadn't met Ye Changsheng, Chu Feng would have integrated various sword techniques and different martial arts into one, and then created his own sword style.

For example, a straight sword.

But now, he has to start from the core.

Because of Ye Changsheng, an unparalleled enemy!

Someone else might have tried to kill Ye Changsheng; having such a person alive would make them restless and unable to eat or sleep.

This kind of person has invincible qualities!

But Chu Feng couldn't do that. If he let Wen Mengting and the others take action, Ye Changsheng would be nothing more than an ant that could be crushed at will. But if he did that, it would be as if Chu Feng was afraid.

As a cultivator, how can you allow yourself to kill your enemies out of fear?

If you need help from others even when facing enemies of the same level, what's the point of cultivating the Dao? You might as well go back to farming!

Let alone Ye Changsheng, even when facing immortals, one cannot bow down to the Dao heart!

If I can't beat you today, I'll beat you tomorrow.

If I can't kill you today, I'll kill you tomorrow!

At this moment, Chu Feng's Dao heart became much more resilient than before!

Is the Primordial Devouring Heaven Technique his core? No. His core is his own Dao!

Cultivation techniques and swordsmanship are merely resources and means!

The Tao is the core of oneself!

However, the Tao is something that is gradually understood step by step; it cannot be achieved overnight.

Moreover, the Dao of the past life has already vanished like smoke. Now that we are reborn, we should live out the Dao of this life. If the Dao of the past life was very powerful, then why was the person killed?

Only those who are alive are qualified to talk about the Tao. If one cultivates the Tao to the point of losing one's life, such a Tao is hardly worthy of being discussed in a refined setting!

However, for a moment, Chu Feng also found it difficult to understand what his own Dao was.

Enlightenment is like planting a pure lotus in mud.

The lotus is constantly absorbing nutrients to grow; it cannot bear fruit immediately after being planted.

Therefore, Chu Feng still needs to continue to hone and comprehend his core Dao in the mortal world.

"That's right, planting a lotus in the mud is exactly what it means. Although I cannot yet comprehend the Dao of this life, my swordsmanship is just like planting a lotus in the mud!" Chu Feng murmured to himself.

The next moment, Chu Feng had already grasped the meaning.

The first core principle of his swordsmanship is to sow seeds in the mud!

The mortal world is mud, the seed is the sword, and the pure lotus is his way of the sword!

Chu Feng stood up, used his palm as a sword, and casually thrust it out.

He practiced one move after another, demonstrating various sword techniques from different schools. Sword techniques are the moves of using a sword, while sword methods are the methods of using a sword; the latter is superior to the former.

But at this moment, for Chu Feng, all sword techniques, all martial arts, including his insights from his previous life, turned into mud and merged into the mortal world!

The fierce and straightforward sword techniques, the insidious and ruthless sword techniques, the sword techniques as fierce as a storm, and the sword techniques as gentle as a warm breeze and sun, all turned into mud...

"The mud is like the original source, giving birth to flowers, grass, and money. I will plant the way of the sword in the mud, and one day the clear water will wash away the lotus!"

Later on, Chu Feng was no longer just wielding a sword with one hand; he was practically dancing with his arms and legs!

He must comprehend a completely new way of the sword and shatter all existing sword styles in the world! Only in this way can he contend with Ye Changsheng!

If you have the King's Sword, I'll break your King's Aura; if you have the Gentleman's Sword, I'll find a way to bind you; if you have the Scoundrel's Sword, I'll kill you!

Even if you forge all the principles of the world into a single sword, I will still defeat you!

Are all the myriad paths of the world not found within the universe, not found within the mortal realm?

Once you understand and transcend the mortal world, what does the way of the sword matter? To me, the way of the sword is nothing more than a seed!

At this moment, Chu Feng's swordsmanship finally took shape!

This sword style is called:

Plant a pure lotus!

The next moment, the straight sword disappeared and transformed into a hook sword!

At this moment, Chu Feng has transformed into an old farmer in the mortal world!

He's farming!

The first step in farming is to loosen the soil. Take a hoe and dig down. Once you dig out the soil, break it up with the hoe. Do this thousands of times until the soil becomes like loose sand!

If there are weeds or stones in the soil, pick them out! Use a picker!

Digging down is like a straight hook, touching the soil is like a reverse hook, hooking left, hooking right, hooking diagonally, hooking randomly, each hook like a sword! Each sword like a hook!

After the straight sword, Chu Feng finally created the hook sword.

This sword moves like flowing clouds and water, smooth and flawless; this sword is like a chick pecking at rice, perfectly natural.

Just then, the golden sphere that had disappeared into the depths of the black mountain reappeared in Chu Feng's mind!

At the same time, countless strange runes appeared on the sphere!

These runes are beginning to recombine and evolve according to some mysterious and unpredictable path!

"Hmm? What's going on?" Chu Feng stopped practicing his sword and began to focus on the new situation in his mind.

Every two runes combined to form a new rune, and every moment, new runes would inexplicably appear on the golden sphere!
