No matter how vast a river is, it can never flood a boundless and immeasurable world!
But Liu Bai broke Qinghuan's "boundlessness"!
Because his Great River Sword is not only a river, but also a sword, a belief that sees through everything and pierces through everything!

When Liu Bai first saw the river, after three days of sword practice, his body was able to move in eight thousand directions, and no water could penetrate it. His mental power was the strongest in the world, and he spent many years refining his sword heart in the sword pond by the river. He integrated everything he had into the sword and turned it into a sword!

Focus is the most powerful thing!
Liu Bai is at the peak realm of knowing destiny, but he pierces the "infinite" above the fifth realm with one sword, worthy of being the strongest in the world!
And this is not Liu Bai's strongest strength, because he struck out with the sword three feet away from Qinghuan.

One foot in front of Liu Bai is his strongest!
……

After reaching the five realms of cultivation and entering the realm of "no confusion", in order to allow themselves to be closer to the vitality of heaven and earth, practitioners will often choose the thing that best matches their own aura as their natal object.

Therefore, after reaching the state of no confusion, practice has branches, such as sword master, talisman master, mind master... and so on.

This branch continues from the stage of no doubt, to the stage of profound enlightenment, and all the way to the stage of knowing destiny. After entering the stage of knowing destiny, the practitioner's grasp of the vital energy of heaven and earth has reached a meticulous level, and can comprehend the laws of the vital energy of heaven and earth. At this time, there is no need to distinguish between sword masters, talisman masters, and the like.

But there are always some people who focus on their strengths, such as the Talisman Master and the Sword Saint Liu Bai.

Sword masters have always used telekinesis to drive flying swords and defend against enemies from thousands of miles away. Liu Bai was no exception in the past.

Until Liu Bai fought with the most powerful divine rune master Yan Se across thousands of miles, and Yan Se wiped off half of his eyebrows with one stroke...

Until Ke Haoran from the academy was born, holding a sword in his hand, and killing everything...

From that time on, Liu Bai also started to hold the sword in his hand, creating the legend of being invincible within a foot of him!

So the one foot in front of Liu Bai is the strongest, three feet in front of him... not.

……

Qinghuan was still vomiting blood, but he still held his robes with a look of heartache.

Master Qishan had his eyelids drooped and his old lips moved, and it was unknown what he was muttering.

Liu Bai said, "There is no real freedom in this world. You must make choices and bear the consequences of your choices. This is what someone asked me to pass on to you."

No matter what the result was, Qinghuan had finally taken his sword, so naturally he had the qualifications to speak. So after Liu Bai struck out with another sword, they began a formal conversation.

Qinghuan finally decided to put down his robes and shook his arms, but the hole on the robes was glaring no matter how he looked at it.

Trying hard to look away, Qing Huan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Is it true that there has never been true freedom?"

Liu Bai said: "Even if you are as strong as Master, there are still many things that you cannot do and dare not do under the Heavenly Heaven!"

Qing Huan simply folded the cassock to cover the hole, and finally felt a little better, and said: "Hao Tian knows everything, Hao Tian can do everything, Hao Tian dominates everything!
A long time ago, I wondered, what is it that Haotian cannot control? After thinking about it for so many years, I finally figured it out.

Haotian can take care of whether I eat and drink water, and whether I poop and fart, but He can’t control what I think!
I can think whatever I want, isn't that freedom?"

Liu Bai frowned and said, "Haotian grants everything..."

"Yup!"

Qing Huan said as a matter of course: "Hao Tian has given me everything, including my heart. He has given me an absolutely free heart that is unrestrained and unrestricted, and that can think and imagine freely!

Our free heart is given by Haotian. Taoism returns this free heart to Haotian and chooses to believe in Haotian wholeheartedly.

The Buddhist sect chose extinction with this free heart, and silently accepted and endured everything.

You carved your heart into a sword... These are all your own choices! This is the only absolute freedom under the Heaven!
Haotian doesn't care about my heart, why should Daomen care?"

Liu Bai hit the nail on the head and said, "If your heart is truly absolutely free, you wouldn't have returned to Washan and wouldn't have been struck by my sword!"

Qing Huan grinned, with bright red blood stains between his teeth, and said, "This is also the choice of my heart!"

Liu Bai was silent for a moment, then said, "You can choose your heart, but you can't choose your body!"

Qing Huan put his hands together and said, "That's because my body and mind are not yet in harmony, not one, and I haven't achieved great enlightenment... because I haven't let go of many things!
I haven’t let it go myself, but I hope no one will force me to let it go, otherwise I will be very unhappy! ”

"I understand!"

Liu Bai nodded, stood up and said to Master Qishan: "Liu Bai bids farewell!"

Having said that, he turned around and walked down the mountain, and disappeared in a moment.

Qing Huan looked at Master Qi Shan and said aggrievedly, "Master, there is a hole in my cassock."

Master Qishan smiled and said, "Then stay at home and see if you can make up for it." "Or chant the sutras?"

"I can also teach you how to play chess."

"Some people say I am a bad chess player."

"That person is right."

"..."

……

A few days later, the news that the evil monk Qinghuan had his life object destroyed by the sword of the sword saint Liu Bai in Washan spread widely.

Afterwards, the Knights Templar entered the foot of Mount Wa, clearly to guard it and not allow Qinghuan to go down the mountain.

Many people know how Qinghuan got the patchwork cassock. If he is not allowed to go down the mountain, there is naturally no way for him to repair his natal item.

Countless people sighed over this and felt sorry that such a genius had to stop there.

What is the natal object?
It is a life-saving object that is closely related to its master, one with his mind and spirit, and a key bridge for the master to communicate intimately with the vital energy of heaven and earth.

It is only with the natal object that the owner can establish formal communication with the vital energy of heaven and earth.

This is like two strangers who can see each other, but their relationship is very distant. They need an intermediary to break the strangeness between them.

For example, a common hobby, a common acquaintance, a common event...

When the relationship between these two people becomes close, this intermediate link is naturally no longer important, but it is also the basis for maintaining the relationship between the two.

In terms of spiritual practice, the relationship between a practitioner and the vital energy of heaven and earth is equivalent to reaching the state of knowing one's destiny. The importance of one's natal objects will be reduced, but they are still indispensable.

However, before reaching the state of knowing destiny, once the natal object disappears, the bridge between the practitioner and the vital energy of heaven and earth will be broken.

The relationship between the two will naturally drift apart and eventually become strangers again.

No matter what Qinghuan realized, he was ultimately only at the "unconfused" level!

Without his natal object, he became a stranger to the vitality of heaven and earth.

……

Many people are waiting for the Master's response.

But surprisingly, the teacher did not react at all, and even the academy did not react at all.

After Ning Que received the news, he remained silent for a day. Finally, he found his second senior brother and asked his question: "Isn't Qing Huan a senior from our academy? Why didn't the academy react at all?"

Second Senior Brother Jun Mo asked back: "How should we react? Go find Liu Bai and fight? I'd love to do that, but what happens after the fight? Will Qing Huan be able to recover?"

Ning Que asked, "Can we help Senior Brother Qing Huan rebuild his natal item?"

Jun Mo said: "Why do you think Qing Huan's natal object would be a piece of rag?"

Ning Que was stunned and confused.

Jun Mo said: "Practitioners will do everything in their power to hide their natal objects. I have never seen anyone wear their natal objects on their body."

Ning Que said uncertainly: "Maybe... he thinks the most conspicuous place is the least noticeable?"

Jun Mo said: "Qing Huan is a monster, and monsters naturally have a natal object that matches them. I don't believe that a monster's natal object would be a piece of rag."

Ning Que asked curiously: "Why?"

Jun Mo said as a matter of course: "Because it's too ordinary and boring!"

Ning Que was speechless.

Jun Mo said: "Since I admit that he is a monster, he will not be defeated because of a piece of rag, so you don't have to worry about the monster, but worry about yourself!"

"I'll go practice now!" (End of this chapter)
