The place where the Sword Saint gained enlightenment!
When Ye Qiu heard this sentence, his heart trembled and he asked: “Has there ever been a Sword Saint in the Shuiyue Sect before?”
Qian Shanxue shook her head: “Never.”
Ye Qiu’s eyes showed confusion.
Qiu Shan Nange explained: “In the history of our Great East, there have been two Sword Saints.”
“The first one is the Shangquan Sword Saint.”
“The Shangquan Sword Saint was a great military strategist in the Warring States period of the Great East. In his early years, he practiced various kinds of kung fu and all kinds of swordsmanship. Later, he taught military strategy to the royal family and was awarded the title of the Sword Saint of ‘the best in the world’.”
“As for the second sword saint, it is Tsukahara Sword Saint.”
When Akiyama Nanka mentioned Tsukahara Sword Saint, there was admiration in her eyes and she said, “Tsukahara Sword Saint was the strongest swordsman in the Warring States period and had never lost a battle in his life.”
“Historical records show that he experienced thirty-seven major battles in his life, killed two hundred and twelve people, and had nineteen sword duels, never getting injured once.”
“Tsukahara Sword Saint’s swordsmanship was superb and he almost never met an opponent. Even Kamiizumi Sword Saint had once received guidance from Tsukahara Sword Saint.”
“He was a legendary figure and had many disciples. Some of his disciples later created their own sects and became grandmasters of a generation.”
The founding founder of our Shuiyue Sect was once Tsukahara Sword Saint’s maid.
Akiyama Nanka said this and pointed to the edge of the cliff and said to Ye Qiu, “Look over there.”
Ye Qiu looked up and saw seven steps on the edge of the cliff.
The steps were made of huge bluestones. At the top of the steps, there was a square stone.
Akiyama Nanka said, “That place is where Tsukahara Sword Saint once attained enlightenment and is called the Enlightenment Platform by later generations.”
The scripture of the Shuiyue Sect records that in those days. Tsukahara Sword Saint once sat cross-legged on that square stone with his eyes closed for seven days and seven nights.”
“Whether it was windy or rainy, or being bitten by mosquitoes, Tsukahara Sword Saint never moved a muscle.”
“On the eighth day, the Grave Origin Sword Saint suddenly opened his eyes and released a vast sword qi from his body.”
“At the same time, a divine sword crossed thousands of miles of the sky and landed in front of the Grave Origin Sword Saint.”
It was said that the sword light was tens of thousands of zhang long. When it crossed the sky, everyone in the Great East saw it.”
“Later, people in the world said that the Grave Origin Sword Saint comprehended the supreme swordsmanship, attracting the attention of the heavens. The heavens specially gave the Grave Origin Sword Saint a divine sword to help him be invincible in the world.”
Ye Qiu pouted.
He simply didn’t believe it.
This kind of thing was generally fabricated by predecessors to show their extraordinariness.
There were quite a few such stories in Huaguo, especially when emperors were born, there were almost always visions in the sky.
For example,
In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, his mother dreamed of hugging the sun and soon became pregnant with him. When he was born, there was a “Wu” character on his right hand.
When Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, was born, there was a purple qi in the room. A nun came and said that this little guy was not simple and helped take care of him. When his mother held him, she suddenly saw that Yang Jian had horns growing on his head and scales growing all over his body. She was so scared that she dropped him on the ground. The nun said that the child was scared and that he would obtain the world a little later. Yang Jian obtained the world when he was already forty-eight years old, and when Yang Jian was born, there was a “Wang” character on his hand.
Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty. It is said that after she became the emperor, she went to the garden with others in winter. Unexpectedly, everywhere she went was bare, which was very disappointing. The emperor was furious and ordered all the flowers in Luoyang City to bloom the next day. Under the might of the emperor, the flowers in Luoyang City really bloomed the next day. For a while, the whole world thought that Wu Zetian was the real dragon emperor.
There is also Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. When he was born, a red light shone in the room, like the cracking of furnace charcoal, and sparks splashed in all directions. Moreover, there was a strange fragrance on Zhao Kuangyin’s body that lingered for a long time. He was even more awesome than Xiang Fei.
In addition to these, there are even more things about the four great classics.
Before Sun Jian was born, colorful lights burst out from his ancestral grave and soared to the sky. and when Cao Pi, the Wei Emperor of the Three Kingdoms, was born, there was a cyan cloud, just like a carriage cover, covering his head all day long…
Such examples are too numerous to mention.
Ye Qiu knows that these means are a means for the rulers in the feudal era to consolidate their rule. In modern times, even a fool who has not read a book will not believe it.
Qiu Shan Nange seemed to see that Ye Qiu didn’t believe it and said, “As for the matter of the divine sword passing through the sky, whether it is true or false, no one knows. But what is certain is that Tsukahara Kensai really realized a very powerful sword move here.”
“The founding ancestor of our Shuiyue Sect was once a little maid beside Sword Saint Tsukahara. When Sword Saint Tsukahara realized the Tao here, the ancestor accompanied him.”
“Sword Saint Tsukahara realized an extremely brilliant swordsmanship, and the ancestor also benefited a lot. In just three years, she became a first-class master famous in Daejeon from a maid who didn’t know martial arts and founded the Shuiyue Sect.”
“This place is the forbidden area of the Shuiyue Sect.”
“Except for the successive sect masters, no one else is allowed to come here. There are several reasons why I and Xiaoxue brought you here.”
“The first is that you saved the lives of me and Xiaoxue, and we want to repay your kindness.”
“The second is because of your special relationship with Xiaoxue.”
“When Ye Qiu heard this, he winked at Qiushan Nange, as if to say, isn’t my relationship with you special?”
“Qiushan Nange’s face turned slightly red, and she pretended not to see it. Then she continued, “The third reason is that I heard from Xiaoxue that you have a peerless enemy that has not been wiped out. Bringing you here is in the hope that you can realize something here and make your cultivation further.
“Ye Qiu asked, “What should I do next?”
“Qianshanxue pointed to the Enlightenment Platform and said, “Those seven steps, each step has the sword intent left by Sword Saint Tsukahara back then.”
“Ye Qiu was shocked.”
“Sword Saint Tsukahara was a figure in the Warring States Period of Daejeon. His sword intent is still there?”
The Warring States Period of Dae Dong is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty in China. Even so, it is still several hundred years away from now.
If there is really sword intent, then how powerful was the original Sword Saint Tsukahara?
Qianshanxue added, “If you can step onto the seventh step, then you can meditate and comprehend on the Enlightenment Platform.”
”Because the pressure of the sword intent on the steps is very strong, it is very difficult to step onto the seventh step.”
”However, even if you can’t step onto the seventh step, I believe you will definitely gain something.”
Ye Qiu asked, “Xiaoxue, have you and your master stepped onto the seventh step?”
Qianshanxue shook her head. “To be ashamed, both my master and I have only stepped onto the third step.”
What?
Ye Qiu was very shocked.
The martial arts cultivation of Qianshanxue and Qiushan Nange is definitely not weak. Especially Qiushan Nange, who is one of the three great masters of Dae Dong martial arts, has actually only stepped onto the third step. This is too incredible, right?
”Ye Qiu, go and give it a try!” Qiushan Nange said.
”Hmm.” Ye Qiu nodded and walked towards the Enlightenment Platform.
He was a little curious about how many steps he could step onto?
