"It's good that you understand, and you don't need to explain more. There are many kinds of spiritual things in this world, evil spirits and ghosts, and above the evil spirits, there are higher beings, such as the gods of heaven and earth, fallen evil gods, and the ancient Tao Yun.

, and domain..."

Ancestor Dugu paused and did not continue. Instead, he remained silent for a moment and continued:

"Demons and monsters, evil spirits, confuse people's minds, and cannibalize people's consciousness."

"Such evil things are composed of thoughts, blood, and spiritual power, and cannot harm them in the slightest."

"Cultivation of mind can turn it into a sword and kill it."

"But above the evil spirits, there are gods of heaven and earth. Gods can also degenerate and cause harm to the world."

"Humans can kill demons, evil spirits, and ghosts...but can they kill gods?"

Ancestor Dugu looked at the ink painting.

Mo Hua hesitated and said: "Should...be able to kill, right?"

Patriarch Dugu shook his head and said: "Humans are human beings, and gods are gods. The power of human spiritual thoughts cannot kill gods."

Mo Hua was startled.

He thought about it and felt it was wrong.

If the power of human spiritual thoughts cannot kill gods, then how did Huangshan Lord be killed?

If this is true, wouldn't the evil gods in this world be invincible?

No matter how much they cause harm to the world, the monks cannot resist.

It’s impossible for the ancestor not to know this...

Mo Hua thought about Patriarch Dugu's words again and said slowly:

"The power of human spiritual thoughts cannot kill gods, so...it is necessary to make people's spiritual thoughts, with the help of certain methods, transcend the limits of 'human', so that...can kill gods?"

Ancestor Dugu raised his eyebrows, took a deep look at Mo Hua, nodded and said:

"good!"

"Humans are human beings, and gods are gods. There is a world of difference in their spiritual thoughts."

"But the nature of a gentleman is not different. He is good at things and fake things."

"Since people can't kill gods, then they should learn from it, understand it, borrow the way of heaven and earth, borrow the laws of all things, create a method, reverse their own spiritual thoughts, and kill the gods!"

"This is the God-Slaying Style!"

Patriarch Dugu spoke in a sonorous tone.

Mo Hua thought silently.

Gods are blessed by nature and are born according to the Tao.

The monks were born with deficiencies, but through learning, understanding, and borrowing the Tao, they were able to kill the gods.

In a sense, this is the true victory of the weak against the strong, killing gods with humans, and defeating nature with the help of humans...

The ink painting is shocking.

But how to "enlighten the Tao and kill the gods", Mo Hua is still a little confused.

Comprehend the Taixu sword style and use the original swordsmanship to kill the fallen gods?

How to enlighten? How to borrow?

When Patriarch Dugu saw this, he said: "Do you still remember what I told you, the secret of cultivating the Divine Sword?"

Mo Hua nodded, "Quench the gods with the sword and kill your own soul."

"These eight words are the key." Patriarch Dugu said, "Human spiritual thoughts cannot kill gods, so we must 'borrow', 'borrow' the laws of the great road, and 'borrow' the powerful power of the origin."

"But the origin of swordsmanship is the supreme mystery, and it cannot just be said that it exists."

"The Taixu Sect's 'Sword Style' is based on a section of Tao Yun among the ancient divine swords. It has been cultivated through generations of monks and their kendo experience. It has the power to kill gods."

The origin of swordsmanship!"

"With this origin, the Taixu Sect's divine sword cultivator can 'borrow' the origin sword to kill some gods that cannot be harmed at all with human strength."

"And the form that this origin takes is the Taixu Sword Style."

"The monks of Taixu Sect understand Taixu Sword Style, and use the origin of swordsmanship to temper their souls. This is called 'tempering the gods with swords'..."

Mo Hua nodded suddenly and asked again: "What about the self-killing soul?"

Patriarch Dugu asked: "Taixu Sword Style, have you realized anything?"

Mo Hua felt a little ashamed, "No..."

He just sensed a hint of ancient sword intent. If his ancestor hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have realized that this was actually the source of swordsmanship.

And he had been enlightened for a long time, but actually he didn't understand the art of swordsmanship at all.

"It's not your fault..." Patriarch Dugu sighed, "Don't say it's you. When I was your age, even when I reached the Golden Core realm, I couldn't understand it."

"It's not just that I can't understand it, it's that I can't understand it at all..."

Ancestor Dugu said with emotion, "This is the ancient sword style of Taixu Sect, and it is the origin of swordsmanship that is close to the Tao..."

"Those who founded and nurtured this origin are at least the ancestors of the Taixu Sect and above the Dongxu realm."

"How can an ordinary disciple learn such a profound swordsmanship?"

"Even if you are a swordsman genius who is young, has not devoted enough time to swordsmanship, has a low level, and has a limited structure, it is impossible to understand the true meaning of swordsmanship."

"If an inheritance cannot be learned by the disciples, and it requires the foundation of Yuhua or Dongxu to understand it, no matter how subtle and powerful it is, it will be lost sooner or later."

"So the seniors of Taixu Sect found another way and thought of a method similar to 'cheating'...killing one's own soul!"

Mo Hua was shocked.

Patriarch Dugu continued slowly in an old voice:

"A layman wants to learn from a saint. But the saint has noble virtues and far-reaching vision. The layman has a shallow mind, is obsessed with worldly desires, and has cognitive impairment. No matter how hard he learns, he cannot become a saint. What will he do?"

Ancestor Dugu said, "The only way is to kill me and become a saint!"

"Cut off the small self and achieve the big self."

"Completely forget yourself, cut off your own shallowness and despicability, give up your worldly desires, throw away your prejudices, and directly transform yourself into a 'saint'."

"What the saint thinks, I will think, and what the saint does, I will do. Then I will become a saint naturally."

"This is to kill the small self and become the big self."

"The same is true for killing one's life soul in the way of swordsmanship..."

"You are a 'layman' in kendo who wants to become a 'sage' in kendo."

"But your knowledge is too shallow, you are obsessed with distracting thoughts, your Taoism is not strong, and you have all kinds of wrong paranoia about the way of swordsmanship. If you want to 'become a saint', it will be difficult to reach the sky. Even if you make a mistake, you will completely go astray.

There will never be a day when I can reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship."

"In this case, you can only kill me!"

"Cut away the distracting thoughts, the paranoia, the fallacies, the ignorance, the self-inflicted path, imitate the 'sage', visualize the 'sword flow', get close to the origin of the sword, and imprint this origin into the soul,

In order to achieve the true unity of man and sword, soul and Tao, so that the soul can complete the transformation of the sword."

"Kill the ego and become a saint."

"Cut the last path and become the great path of swordsmanship!"

"Behead me to become a saint, kill my soul to become a Dao!"

The words of Patriarch Dugu lingered in my ears, deafening and enlightening.

The ink painting suddenly came to me, like an enlightenment. My heart was inexplicably shocked and I couldn't calm down for a long time.

He took Patriarch Dugu's words to heart and pondered them carefully.

But before he could think about it, he heard a violent cough.

Mo Hua raised his head and saw Patriarch Dugu covering his mouth and nose with his withered palms, frowning and coughing heavily.

Mo Hua immediately realized something and said worriedly:

"Ancestor, your old injury..."

Ancestor Dugu waved his hand and gradually calmed down, but his eyes dimmed a lot and he said in a calm voice: "It doesn't matter, this is a common thing..."

He said it was common, but before Mo Hua, he had never seen his ancestor coughing tiredly like he did today.

It's like... an old man who is exhausted both mentally and physically.

Mo Hua feels slightly sour in his heart.

He is obviously the ancestor of Dongxu, with a heavenly cultivation, but he has devoted all his energy to the sect. Although he is alive, he can only be buried alive in the sword tomb like the broken swords on the ground...

Mo Hua felt very uncomfortable.

Ancestor Dugu noticed Mo Hua's mood, his eyes gradually became gentle, and he whispered: "It's okay."

The ink painting looks a little worried.

Ancestor Dugu paused slightly, and then asked: "Do you understand what I just said?"

Mo Hua then changed his mind and nodded gently. After a while, a doubt inevitably arose in his heart.

Mo Hua frowned and asked: "Old Ancestor, kill me to become a saint, kill my soul to become the Dao, if I want to kill the 'ego', and if I want to kill my own weak swordsmanship, wouldn't all the sword skills I learned before have been in vain?"

Patriarch Dugu shook his head and said: "Without the ego, there would be nothing to kill. Where would the big ego come from?"

"Similarly, if you don't learn swordsmanship, you won't even have a rudimentary swordsmanship. Naturally, you won't be able to kill yourself, and you won't be able to go one step further and understand the origin of swordsmanship."
