Chapter 651
Extreme Realm Seven Deadly Kills! Supreme Killing Path
Upon arriving at Li Aoshuang's residence, they found her meditating and regulating her breathing.
"Ah Jie, your—your—your aura?"
Li Aoshuang was taken aback when she sensed Chen Jie's presence.
She stared at Chen Jie for a good ten seconds, her eyes wide.
It wasn't until she sensed Chen Jie's presence that she realized everything before her was real.
no way,
Chen Jie's demeanor changed drastically during his trip to Kunlun.
He had already condensed his primordial spirit, broken through to the [Quasi-Saint] realm in martial arts, and his aura had become extremely calm.
More importantly, he consumed the essence of the 'Flower of Death,' which brought his entire being to a state of pure and natural refinement.
Compared to his condition a little over a month ago, Chen Jie's strength has undergone another dramatic change.
Under normal circumstances,
Once someone reaches Chen Jie's level of martial arts skill, it's impossible to improve too quickly in the short term.
In Li Aoshuang's memory, although Chen Jie was very strong, she was no match for him.
but,
Chen Jie's martial arts level and aura were always far from the [Saint level].
A little over a month ago, Chen Jie was like a nouveau riche who had made rapid progress in martial arts. Although his combat strength was terrifying, he also gave people a sharp feeling.
Now it's completely different, like a martial arts family that has been passed down for thousands of years, with an extremely profound foundation.
Every move he made exuded an incomparably domineering aura.
His imposing presence, his innate aura of power, was unmatched by ordinary people. His temperament and martial arts cultivation gave Li Aoshuang the illusion of looking up to a towering mountain.
It would be strange if Li Aoshuang wasn't shocked by such a drastic change.
at this time,
She noticed Chen Jie staring at her, and her face flushed.
Although the two had consummated their marriage, they were not officially recognized as husband and wife.
Li Aoshuang is the current 'Sword Master of the Startling Clouds' and also Li Lingyue's aunt.
For some time now, she has been thinking about this question: how to tell Li Lingyue about it.
at this time,
Seeing the burning light in Chen Jie's eyes, she couldn't help but lower her head and ask in a low voice:
"Why are you staring at me? It's not like I haven't seen you before!"
Although she is not young, she showed a rare hint of shyness.
Chen Jie casually put his arm around her slender waist and said with a smile:
"Eighth Sister gave birth to Huan'er, Lingyue is also pregnant, and Chunlan is about to give birth."
"I was thinking, how about you have a chubby little boy with me?"
Upon hearing this, Li Aoshuang's face flushed slightly, and a sweet feeling welled up inside her.
She had practiced martial arts since she was a child and had never thought about these things.
It wasn't until she was with Chen Jie that she truly understood the meaning of being a woman.
Especially during this period, after seeing Huan'er, she thought about many things late at night.
As a woman, she can live without a man.
but,
As she gets older, she does hope to continue her bloodline.
Moreover, the man in front of him is none other than Prince Qian.
Whether in terms of power or martial arts, he was invincible in the Great Qian Dynasty.
"What are you thinking? I'm this old, how could I possibly have a chance to get pregnant?"
She spoke softly, but her body involuntarily moved closer to Chen Jie.
Chen Jie had been practicing martial arts in the Kunlun Mountains for a while, and then he went to the 'Urban World'. He did miss it a little.
Especially after his previous encounter with Li Aoshuang, he was filled with even greater longing for her.
Moreover, all of his wives were pregnant, and Aunt Thirteen had just left Jinling to run errands.
Seeing Li Aoshuang's current state, how could Chen Jie possibly hold back?
After being hugged by Chen Jie, Li Aoshuang knew exactly what he wanted to do, and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, saying:
"The door! Close the door first—!"
Clang!
A gust of wind blew by, and the courtyard gate slammed shut in an instant.
-
The morning sun rises slowly, shining through the window and casting a golden glow.
The crystal pendant and gauze curtains on the bed create a hazy, dreamlike effect in the sunlight.
Like a dream!
The surroundings felt like a dream, and the entire room exuded an unusual charm.
Chen Jie yawned and rubbed his eyes.
He hadn't slept this comfortably in a long time since he broke through to the Meridian Opening Qi level in martial arts.
When he woke up, he immediately felt Li Aoshuang's body, like a kitten, snuggling close to him in his arms.
He was once the top martial arts expert in the Great Qian Dynasty, known as the "Sword Master of the Startling Clouds".
This top expert, whose martial arts realm was infinitely close to that of a Martial Saint, was still asleep with his eyes slightly closed.
Like Chen Jie, she had probably never slept so soundly before.
at this time,
A faint blush lingered on her face, giving her an indescribable air of languor, weariness, and charm.
Like a rose, it is beautiful, charming, and captivating, exuding a dazzling charm.
Although last night, the two of them got together naturally, like an old married couple, with almost no obstacles.
but,
Li Aoshuang had just experienced a major life event a little over a month ago, transforming from a martial arts master who had never been involved in the world into a real woman.
have to say,
After more than a month of recovery, Li Aoshuang has long since recovered.
Only those who have experienced life will have this need!
That kind of thinking has a completely different impact on the mind than other needs.
Inside the room, the two naturally consummated their relationship.
Having high martial arts skills gives you this advantage; you simply don't know what fatigue is.
The two were evenly matched in terms of skill level, and the difference in their martial arts skills was not too great.
After a whole night, the two of them finally felt exhausted as dawn broke, and then they fell asleep in each other's arms, sleeping very soundly.
Upon discovering that Chen Jie had woken up, Li Aoshuang slightly opened her eyes and glanced at him.
She glanced at Chen Jie, and when she saw the expression on his face, she couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Next.
She closed her eyes, pretended to be asleep, and enjoyed the morning light.
She had never felt this way before, nor had she ever slept as soundly and peacefully as she had last night.
This feeling of having someone to rely on brought her a rare sense of peace.
but,
Thinking back on the madness of last night, she felt a sense of shame, and even felt a fever in her heart.
suddenly,
She remembered something and took a wooden box from under her pillow.
"This is the Seven Deadly Kills of the Extreme Realm, the supreme killing path practiced by Miyamoto Musashi, the greatest swordsman of the Orient!"
"Twenty years ago, Miyamoto Musashi came to the Great Qian Dynasty with the aim of honing his 'Supreme Killing Path' and injuring my master." Chen Jie was taken aback upon hearing this and opened the wooden box with both hands.
Inside was a book titled "Seven Deadly Kills of the Extreme Realm".
Seeing Chen Jie's serious attitude, Li Aoshuang took a deep breath and said:
"Although you have obtained the inheritance of the Martial Saint, you have also embarked on your own path of martial arts."
"Your heart is filled with awe for martial arts, making you a true martial arts prodigy. However, there is one thing you lack: the killing aura of a 'Martial Saint.' Do you know that?"
"Transcending the mortal realm and attaining sainthood! This is the heaven-defying path any martial artist will take in their cultivation!"
"To defeat Miyamoto Musashi, you must understand his way of killing!"
Chen Jie was taken aback upon hearing this, and frowned slightly before asking, "What is the Path of Slaughter?"
Li Aoshuang did not answer, but instead gestured for Chen Jie to open "The Seven Deadly Kills of Extreme Realm".
boom!
As soon as Chen Jie opened "The Seven Deadly Kills of the Extreme Realm," he felt a terrifying killing intent coming towards him.
It was completely different from ordinary killing intent.
This murderous intent was like a mountain, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Even with Chen Jie's divine sense, which had begun to condense his primordial spirit, he felt extremely insignificant in the face of this terrifying killing intent.
This was not the murderous intent that erupted from one person.
hiss--!
Chen Jie couldn't help but gasp, trying to calm himself down.
Li Aoshuang's eyes widened in surprise:
"You actually managed to block the killing intent contained within the Seven Deadly Kills of the Extreme Realm?"
"Entering the Dao through killing! This is the most terrifying martial art in the world, with the strongest destructive power."
"Miyamoto Musashi, the greatest swordsman in the East, became a martial saint by practicing the 'path of killing' and his combat power surpassed that of ordinary 'saint-level' experts."
"An invincible warrior, even amidst mountains of knives and seas of fire, will still forge ahead, overcoming all obstacles, and slaughtering everything in the world!"
"Killing represents ruthlessness!"
"Therefore, the path of killing is also called the path of ruthlessness."
Li Aoshuang looked at Chen Jie and said in a deep voice:
"Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and desire!"
"Sever the seven emotions and six desires, and kill seven with a single thought!"
Seven Deadly Kills!
From Li Aoshuang's description, it can be seen that anyone who obstructs the path of killing will be mercilessly killed.
This is a path of slaughter that defies the heavens!
Chen Jie nodded slightly, sensing the condensed 'killing realm' within the "Seven Deadly Kills of the Extreme Realm".
this moment,
He seemed to have truly seen the path of killing.
That murderous aura was sharp and unstoppable.
Kill all thoughts!
It turns out that Miyamoto Musashi was not only proficient in dual-wielding swords, but also became a sword saint through the "way of killing"!
"Your Highness, although you have extremely high talent and boundless combat power, in the history of the Great Qian Dynasty, we have never seen a martial artist like you."
"However, you haven't been practicing martial arts for long enough to accumulate experience, so your condition is prone to instability."
"When faced with extreme pressure, you can unleash a peak performance that surpasses your own combat strength, but sometimes your combat strength becomes very ordinary."
"I believe that given time, you will definitely be able to break through and become a Sword Saint, but there is no time now!"
"You are about to face Miyamoto Musashi in the East Sea. To break through his killing technique, you must comprehend the Seven Deadly Kills of the Extreme Realm in the shortest possible time!"
Li Aoshuang immediately saw that Chen Jie's mind was drawn to the 'Path of Killing'.
"Actually, I was very conflicted before giving you this book, 'The Seven Deadly Kills of Extreme Realm'."
"I don't want you to cultivate the 'Path of Slaughter,' and I don't want you to sever all your emotional ties for the sake of martial arts!"
"The Path of Ruthlessness is the cruelest martial art. Although it can infinitely increase your combat power, it makes you ruthless, heartless, and devoid of any emotions."
"You have many people who love you deeply, including me!"
"But I'm also worried that you'll die by Miyamoto Musashi's sword, so I—!"
finished,
She sighed helplessly.
To be honest, she struggled internally for a long time before taking out "Seven Deadly Shots of Extreme Realm".
"The path of slaughter is ruthless!"
Chen Jie muttered to himself, repeatedly pondering the meaning of those four words.
He was still unable to calm down, thinking about the terrifying killing intent he had just felt.
"The Way of Slaughter is to defy the heavens, and the Way of the Sword is merely its manifestation. It must be constantly honed before its sharpness can be revealed!"
Li Aoshuang took a deep breath and sighed:
"Back then, my master couldn't be ruthless, which created a flaw in his swordsmanship, preventing him from making further progress!"
"It's clear that you've already embarked on your own path of martial arts, but all paths lead to the same destination. Ultimately, the path of martial arts still requires fighting against the heavens!"
"Although you have inherited the legacy of the Martial Saint, it is clear that you know very little about the Way of Slaughter."
"If you want to understand Miyamoto Musashi's way of killing, I can tell you."
Chen Jie nodded slightly, calming himself down.
then,
He asked, "What is ruthlessness? What is the Way of Slaughter? And what is the faith and reverence of the first stage of the Meditation Realm?"
Li Aoshuang sat up, pulled a piece of clothing over her shoulders, and said:
"In fact, the first stage of sitting in oblivion, faith and reverence, is a leap forward for any martial artist in the realm of refining the spirit. It is the most difficult threshold in the realm of refining the spirit."
According to the ancient interpretation of the Sixth Patriarch's Buddhist Scripture, there was once an abbot of Mount Wutai named Jueyuan who practiced meditation diligently for sixty years. He thought he had broken through to the first stage of sitting in oblivion, faith and reverence, and comprehended the Buddha's Zen.
“Xuan Hong, a disciple of the Sixth Patriarch, visited the abbot of Mount Wutai and saw him practicing Zen meditation.”
"So Xuan Hong asked Jue Yuan what kind of Zen he was practicing?"
"Jueyuan explained that it is about cultivating 'faith and reverence'!"
finished,
Li Aoshuang got out of bed and tied her hair up with a hairpin.
Then, she took Chen Jie's clothes from the bed and began to dress him.
Master Xuanhong said, "What kind of Zen practice is this 'faith and reverence' you speak of? If there is no Buddha in one's heart, then even a tree or a stone can be called 'sitting in oblivion'!"
"If you have Buddha in your heart, then what is Buddha?"
After pondering for a moment, Abbot Jueyuan said, "I don't know what Buddha is. My mind is free of all thoughts, desires, and desires!"
Master Xuanhong then asked, "Since there is no thought, how can there be faith and reverence?"
"Therefore, Abbot Jueyuan, who had cultivated Zen for sixty years, realized that his cultivation was still lacking and that he had not truly grasped the Zen meaning of the Buddha."
"He went to ask the Sixth Patriarch Huineng, and the answer he received was that he had no thoughts in his mind, yet he could not let go of all worldly desires, and everything should follow his own heart!"
"What is the mortal, what is the Buddha, what is the Tao, what is the sage?"
"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, everything is just a thought in the heart, a feeling in the mind. Only by letting go of this attachment can one truly achieve 'forgetfulness'!"
With deep roots, the path can be long; with firm foundation, virtue can flourish!
The first stage of sitting in oblivion—faith and reverence!
Faith is the root of the Way, and reverence is the stem of virtue!
After listening to Li Aoshuang's explanation, Chen Jie fell into deep thought.
"The Sixth Patriarch Huineng practiced Buddhism and liked to complicate simple things, speaking in a mysterious and ambiguous way, making it difficult for people to understand him!"
"You've said so much, but I still don't understand. What exactly is 'faith and respect'?"
Chen Jie practiced Buddhism—specifically, telepathy!
Therefore,
He had some knowledge of Buddhism and could easily enter a state of 'meditation'.
His practice of biblical spiritual cultivation integrated Buddhist teachings into his state of mind.
However, he has never been interested in Buddhism.
Making simple things complicated!
This is the most obvious characteristic of Buddhism, especially its meticulous description of cause and effect.
Without in-depth understanding, it is almost impossible to comprehend the meaning of Buddhism from just a few words.
Buddhism appears to be the simplest thing on the surface, but it is very profound to understand, giving one the feeling that 'Buddhism is boundless'.
This is why those who practice Buddhism often say, "You have an affinity with the Buddha." (End of Chapter)
