Chapter 98: Only when one reaches the extreme of emotions can they reach the extreme of swordsmanship.

  That person's sword intent is too high, even if the current "Seven Mysteries" of the Shen family and the current "Dugu" of the Dugu family came, they may not be able to understand much, let alone a twelve-year-old boy who is obviously good at using guns?

  At this moment, among the onlookers, there were also some who had a keen eye for observation. They immediately guessed who the person was from Lin Duogun and Nang Yulou's conversation, and each of them revealed a look of surprise.

  That person... actually used divine thought transmission to impart his sword intent to Chuyi?

  Their evaluation of Chu Cheng immediately rose to a higher level, with orders being issued one after another to revise the special file and add this clause, raising Chu Cheng's evaluation grade to just below that of "Du Guo Han".

  All of this, Chu Cheng didn't know.

  Chu City was deeply immersed in Luo Hongchen's sword and couldn't extricate itself.

  The sword is the king of all martial arts, and those who wield it far surpass those who use other weapons. The difficulty of mastering swordsmanship also ranks among the highest of all martial arts.

  So Chu State has eight great sword techniques, but no eight great spear techniques or eight great knife methods.

  Among the eight great swordsmanship, Ling family's Lingyun Sword is high and majestic, with a strong and unyielding spirit, having an intention to soar through the clouds; Sun family's Liuguang Sword is renowned for its speed, at its highest level it can even surpass time; Dugu Sword is lonely and heroic, Qixuan Sword is mysterious and unpredictable.

  But Luo Hongchen's sword was able to suppress the Eight Great Sword Techniques, and the reason for this was a single word: "sentiment".

  The sword is an inanimate object, but Luo Hongchen has given the sword in his hand a "heart", turning it into a sentient sword. Only by being extreme in sentiment can one be extreme in swordsmanship.

  Lu Hongchen's emotions were a thousand kinds of sorrow, a thousand kinds of melancholy, and endless longing, so it was called the "Thousand Sorrowful Longing Sword". At this moment, in Chu Cheng's mind, this sword was filled with endless nostalgia and the meaning of parting, only those who had experienced the same life experiences and the passage of time could understand.

  So Lin Duogun thinks that even if they were the modern-day Qi Xuan and Dugu, they probably wouldn't be able to comprehend much of it because they are too young and have had too little experience. They can't understand the word "emotion", so how could they possibly understand Luo Hongchen's Red Dust Sword?

  Chu Cheng was only twelve years old, so it was even more impossible.

  But he could never have guessed that Chu Cheng was actually not twelve years old, and the things he had experienced were not necessarily less than Lin Dugu and Luo Hongchen.

  More than 20 years of drifting in the wind and rain, with no lack of affection, friendship, and love. The sweetness of being with loved ones, the warmth of being with family, and the joy of being with friends. I have also witnessed the slow decline and death of loved ones, experienced illness and hardship that almost took my life, and even witnessed my own rebirth.

  Birth, aging, illness and death; joy and sorrow, parting and reunion - all are experienced.

  They once drank together "Tender Village" and "Hero's Tomb", experiencing the vicissitudes of life, at this moment, under the influence of Luo Hong's sword, all sorts of emotions surged up, making one feel exhilarated, yet also having a hundred twists and turns in their heart, tearing it apart.

  The word "love", who can decipher it?

  But in the eyes of outsiders, Chucheng's face began to change slowly after a long period of calmness.

  Sometimes unbearable pain, sometimes joyful laughter, sometimes endless worries, how can a twelve-year-old boy have so many emotional entanglements?

  "It seems that he was influenced by Luo Hongchen's sword intent and lost control. Luo Hongchen originally wanted to help him, but it's possible that she might harm him instead. This child has been tormented by the sword intent and has fallen to a lower level, I'm afraid he will be ruined." Lin Duogun sighed.

  "If he's ruined, Chu Tiange will probably fight to the death with Luo Hongchen. Twelve years ago, during the disaster in Shanyang City, Chu Tiange lost his wife and now only has two sons left. If he loses another child, he'll definitely go crazy!" The master of Nuan Yulou nodded and said.

  "Chu Cheng's body has the mark of a strong Mountain and Sea Realm, it must be Chu Tian Ge's. Unfortunately, Hong Chen Dun's sword intent is too powerful, it can even penetrate into one's heart, not even Chu Tian Ge's sword intent can withstand it. Chu Tian Ge was such a genius back then, and Luo Hong Chen is also a top-notch figure in the world, just thinking about their battle makes one yearn for it." Lin Du Jian's face revealed an unusual smile.

  A dusty journey, on the seventh floor.

  From left to right, the fifth house is Xiangzhu Yage, with doors inside and outside.

  Outside the door, Luo Hongchen stood with her hands hanging down, a bitter expression on her face:

  "Milady of Xiang... I have already entered this mortal coil as you requested, why won't you let me in? Alas, what's the point of your cruelty?"

  "A soft voice floated out from the gate: 'You're so cunning and deceitful, accepting a 12-year-old child's help, yet you're flustered and anxious, causing them to be trapped in worldly troubles. Who knows if they'll be discarded? They helped you, but you harmed them. What qualifications do you have to enter here?'"

  Lu Hongchen's face changed, and only then did he remember that in his haste earlier, with a heart full of joy to see Mrs. Xiang, he had forgotten how extraordinary his sword intent was, and whether it was something a child could bear. At this moment, hadn't he harmed the child?

  "What's the point of this? I was trying to help him out, but now it's turned into such a mess. What's the use?" Lu Hong's face was filled with worry and distress.

  "Hmph! You still want to be friends with Chu Tiange? I think it's good that Chu Tiange didn't tear you apart! You harmed someone else's son, do you think they will forgive you? It's likely that you're not even daring to face Chu Tiange, which is why you targeted his son!" A cold voice came from inside the door, filled with extreme ridicule.

  Lu Hongchen's face changed greatly upon hearing this voice:

  "Ninefold! How are you still inside? You damned turtle egg, I'll annihilate you!"

  "Destroy me? You'd better think about how not to be destroyed by Chu Tiange! Being the first of the top ten strongmen isn't impressive? Being third on the Qin Empire's Mountain and Sea List isn't impressive? Don't think I don't know, you're a defeated general under Chu Tiange!" Jiuzao Master sneered coldly.

  "I'm afraid of Chu Tian Ge? That battle has already passed for ten years, at that time both he and I had just stepped into the Mountain and Sea Boundary! But since I beheaded Qi Gu Lao Ren with one sword, my sword path has been perfected. Now if we were to fight again, I would definitely defeat him!" Luo Hong Chen coldly hummed.

  "Is that so? But I've heard that Chu Tiange has already entered the Horizontal Mountain Range, closed the Gate of Life and Death, and broken through to the Divine Realm! And you, it seems like you still haven't found the opportunity to break through? In this aspect, you've already lost to him!" Nine Forgings Master coldly jeered.

  "Hmph! Jiu Lian, don't be too smug! Although Madam Xiang hasn't agreed to me yet, she also hasn't agreed to you! Among the three things Madam Xiang asked me to do initially, I've already completed one. But among the three things she asked you to do, you haven't even completed one!" Luo Hongchen sneered coldly.

  "Hmph! Your three things are to kill the Seven Sins Old Man, advance to the Divine Realm and defeat Chu Tian Ge. And my three things are to refine a true spiritual artifact, decipher the secrets of the Tongtian Xuanli Pillar and become the number one artifact refiner in Chu State. Everything else is easy to say, but defeating Chu Tian Ge, haha, you don't stand a chance!" The Ninth Forging Master burst out laughing, feeling extremely pleased with himself.

  Lu Hongchen's face changed slightly, but he immediately sneered: "Very funny? You probably still don't know that the spiritual instrument that failed to be refined back then has been successfully re-refined by someone! Don't you feel ashamed?"

  "What? What did you say? You're talking about that 'Jiguan'? How is it possible, how is it possible! You deceived me, you deceived me!" The Ninth Forging Master was furious beyond measure.

  "Believe it or not, I can tell you that the thing you're looking for is in the hands of Chu Cheng downstairs!" Luo Hongchen sneered.

  "Then I'll go and capture him!" The Ninth Forge Master said furiously.

  "Never mind, you don't have to go. If the child downstairs is safe and sound under the influence of Hongchen Yijian, he will come up by himself. If he is ruined by Hongchen Yijian, then he will not come up, and from now on, none of you need to see me again." The soft voice sounded once more.

  "What? Lady Xiang, this, this..." Luo Hongchen and Jiu Yan's Master exclaimed in unison.

  "I've made up my mind. Everything will depend on fate now."

  There are six desires of humans: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind.

  Humans have seven emotions: joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hatred and desire.

  There are eight sufferings of human beings: birth, aging, illness, death, separation from loved ones, encounter with hated ones, unfulfilled desires, and the dominance of the five skandhas.

  People have all sorts of emotions, but among them there is a starting point and an ending point.

  The starting point is birth, and the end point is death.

  Life is born, emotions begin to sprout, and then there are eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind. Then there are joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and desire. Then there are illness and aging. And when life ends and death arrives, all this will also disappear like smoke in the clouds.

  There is great joy and great terror between life and death.

  Chu City has been inhabited for two generations. The previous generation was on Earth, and this generation is on the Primordial Continent. The fundamental connection between these two worlds is one death and one birth, one ending, and one beginning.

  Time and time again, the insight of Lu Hongyan's red dust sword flashed through his mind, replaying the past and present in his brain. Chu Cheng finally broke free from emotional entanglements, and his face returned to calmness.

  And he finally understood his own Red Dust Sword, the sword of life, the sword of death, the sword of life and death.

  One sword lives, one sword dies.

  With a change of heart, the physical body changes accordingly. Chu Cheng raised his right hand, grasped at the void, and a long xuanli sword appeared in his hand, emitting a faint aura of death that made one's heart palpitate.

  After a moment, the Xuanli long sword slowly disappeared, and Chucheng raised his left hand again. With a grasp in the void, a Xuanli short sword appeared in his hand, emitting a warm and vital energy that made people feel warm.

  The right hand dies, the left hand lives. Endless death is a long sword. Short life is a short sword.

  Two swords of life and death, first show their tip.

  At this moment, the host of Warm Jade Building almost stared out his eyes, Lin Duogun's hands began to tremble, and dozens of people with high vision were also shocked, their eyes gleaming intensely.

  "Genius, genius, unparalleled genius!" The master of Warm Jade Pavilion muttered to himself.

  "This person has a demonic talent, and also has an extraordinary mind and a strange and wonderful emotional experience. The contemporary sword cultivator of the Chu State, apart from the contemporary Seven Mystics and the contemporary Dugu, actually has such a figure!" Lin Duogun sighed softly.

  In the silence, people holding Qingming Bang in various parts of Chu State suddenly found that Chu City's ranking on Qingming Bang had jumped more than a dozen places and soared to 16th place, just pressing down on Chuyanfu's head.

  Inside and outside the gate of Xiang Zhu Ya Ge, Luo Hongchen and Jiu Jian Dashi showed unbelievable joy, while Mrs. Xiang had a faint smile on her face.

  "Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, your son is indeed just like you, extraordinary!"
