Card Creator: My Cards Unlimited Chain - #332 - Chapter 318: Nakaoka!

Chapter 318 Zhongqiu!

 In Feng Yue Cangjian, between the first and second floors

“Are you…Sheng…Mr. Zhongqiu?” Gu Jieshuang felt confused for a while.

Zhongqiu, not many people in the Yan Kingdom don’t know this name… Saint Master Zhongqiu!

There are very few people who can reach here. Presumably… there shouldn’t be anyone with the same name, right?

“Yes.” Zhongqiu nodded with a smile.

Here, although Gu Jieshuang only asked one sentence, Zhongqiu already knew that the Zhongqiu she was talking about must be herself, not someone else with the same name.

  This is the reaction to my own name.

Gu Jieshuang finally understood why he felt that this middle-aged man looked familiar… didn’t he look familiar? He had seen his statue every day in the Holy Capital for the past two days.

However, most of the people she saw were images of decrepit old men. Now that she saw the middle-aged version of the Holy Master, she really couldn’t recognize him for a while.

Thinking about it, this should be the image of Saint Master Zhongqiu when he came to Feng Yue Cangjian.

“Hello.” Gu Jieshuang quickly tried to salute Zhongqiu despite the overwhelming pressure.

 But this simply cannot be done.

The pressure here was too strong. Although Zhongqiu’s approach allowed her to barely speak a few words, she couldn’t say more.

Zhongqiu probably saw Gu Jieshuang’s difficulty and said:

“There is no need to salute. Since I am Zhongqiu, I am not him. You should use your strength in Feng Yue Cangjian.”

“you…”

“I’m here because I’m curious about something.” Zhongqiu said, “I was in the clouds just now, and I saw you use a sword. It was very exquisite. Although I haven’t fully understood it, it can arouse the sword intention of the ancestors… Such a skill, I don’t know if it can be convenient. inform?”

 Gu Jieshuang’s deck was also shattered on the first level – as the soul card master’s power, the deck was also counted as part of the soul card master’s body.

It’s just that the rhythm in the deck is still there, but the carrier is gone. When the level is completed, the deck will naturally be repaired.

 Zhongqiu discovered the clue at that time.

Although the sword was just synchronized with Jie’emei and Gu Jieshuang’s own, without adding sword intent, Gu Jieshuang had already understood Hantian’s sword intent for a long time, so it naturally had some charm. ‘

What’s more, the Star-Shifting Sword Intent in Gu Jieshuang’s deck was also clearly perceived by Zhongqiu. Seeing this scene again, thinking about it, it is not difficult to guess the usage of the Star-Shifting Sword Intention Soul Card.

“Yes, yes…” Gu Jieshuang wanted to speak, but as she got closer and closer to the second layer of clouds, her consciousness gradually blurred, and it became quite difficult to organize complete words.

“Huh? Star order…what a wonderful trick.” Zhongqiu said in surprise.

 In this world, language is the least efficient way to communicate.

Although Gu Jieshuang didn’t organize his words well, Zhongqiu could already hear the thoughts running through his mind without being bound by his body.

 His face showed a relieved smile.

“He really has the style of Emperor Yan… It’s a pity that I can’t meet this young man named Yu Cang in person.”

 “The boss will be here later…” Gu Jieshuang quickly wanted to explain.

 But Zhongqiu just shook his head slightly: “I can’t see it.”

“How…”

Before Gu Jieshuang could ask, Zhongqiu stretched out his hand.

“The limit of this second level is the limit of the spirit. Young people, just think about it, if your spirit is broken, how can you survive?”

 ”By what…” Gu Jieshuang thought hard.

 She didn’t have much time to think.

 If you don’t figure it out before your consciousness completely enters darkness, you will never figure it out.

 But, after the body and spirit are all broken, what can remain?

Looking at Zhongqiu in front of him, a thought suddenly passed through his mind in a daze.

 How do you know Zhongqiu?

Isn’t it because the things he did were too great and his strength was unparalleled in the world, so he was recorded and praised?

 She suddenly thought of a statement she had seen before.

It is said that a person will die three times in his life. The first time is physical death, the second time is social death at a funeral, and the third time is real death when the last person forgets you.

 So, the only thing that can continue to exist after a mental breakdown is writing books and talking about it? Is it lasting forever? yes…

 Many thoughts passed through her eyes, but her consciousness was groggy and she could not summarize an answer. She wanted to speak, but no words came out. Soon, she would reach her limit.

At this time, a voice came in, which seemed to have some kind of power, allowing Gu Jieshuang to clearly understand its meaning.

 “It’s your name.”

 “My name…Gu…Jie, Shuang…”

Buzz!

As Gu Jieshuang murmured, a golden light suddenly lit up in her dark perception!

As if breaking through the water, Gu Jieshuang’s eyes suddenly returned to color. When she suddenly woke up, she was already standing on the clouds.

 This is the second floor.

 Compared with the first layer of cloud sea, the clouds here are flowing and messy, like the ever-changing sea surface.

Gu Jieshuang stood there blankly for a long time before she recovered from the suffocating feeling of despair just now. She lowered her head and looked at her current “body”.

My own spirit, will, soul, etc., all intangible things, have been compressed into what they are now in the process of rising – exactly the same as my own body, but it looks a bit more illusory out of thin air. .

Outside the body, there is also a suit of clothes – the same illusory texture.

There is nothing strange about having clothes. After all, shame is also a part of human consciousness, and it will naturally be reflected here.

 But at this moment, both the body and the clothes are covered with dense cracks – just like the first layer, they have turned into a fragile porcelain doll.

However, the light that burst out from the gap this time was golden. Through it, Gu Jieshuang seemed to be able to faintly see a golden name—his own name.

Suddenly, there was a strange noise in the clouds. Gu Jieshuang quickly looked around and saw that the clouds there were rising and seemed to be condensing into something.

“Are you coming…” Gu Jieshuang looked solemn.

However, before the clouds had completely emerged, the word “disperse” was suddenly heard.

The voice was not loud, but it contained a smile, but it seemed to carry great power. The surging clouds seemed to be blown away by the wind and disappeared without a trace.

A figure stood behind the dissipating clouds, wearing an ancient robe and a sheathed sword at his waist. He looked at Gu Jieshuang with a smile on his face.

“Mr. Zhongqiu?” Gu Jieshuang was stunned and quickly saluted, “Thank you, Holy Master, for clearing up the confusion!”

She knew in her heart that if it hadn’t been for the Holy Master’s teaching just now, she wouldn’t be here at all.

Even if the Holy Master taught her, she would not have thought that it would not have given her more time to think without his power.

The holy master Shiran accepted the gift, and then said: “Younger generation, I would like to learn swordsmanship.”

Gu Jieshuang was stunned: “I…of course I am willing.”

“Then hold the sword.” Zhongqiu said, “If you defeat me, you can leave.”

“Huh?…My opponent on this level is you…”

How to fight this…

Even if the opponent is not the Holy Master himself, it is impossible to defeat him, right?

Zhongqiu shook his head: “No. It’s just that I suddenly wanted to take action myself, so I overcame the barriers set by this world – He will not reject me.”

Gu Jieshuang frowned: “But how can I beat you…”

“Don’t think that I’m too strong.” Zhongqiu said, “I’m just a touch of sword intention and a little will he left behind – you don’t need to defeat me, use your star level to learn my sword, then go ahead. .”

 “…Okay.” Gu Jieshuang took a deep breath.

Opposite him, Zhongqiu took off the sword from his waist, but did not draw it. He just looked at Gu Jieshuang.

She was stunned: “Aren’t you going to draw your sword?”

“I have already drawn my sword.” Zhongqiu said with a smile.

“Huh?” Gu Jieshuang’s eyes narrowed, and then her face became serious.

 She waved her hand and summoned the Dust-sealed Holy Sword, and unleashed the Sword Intent, Cold Sky Snow Waterfall.

 But when she held the Dusty Holy Sword in her hand, she felt something was wrong.

 This sword…can’t be swung!

Gu Jieshuang’s hand tightly grasped the hilt of the Dusty Holy Sword. The most exquisite sword moves she had ever learned before flashed through her mind one by one. Facing Zhongqiu, she naturally had to use 100% of her strength.

But at this moment, with the sword in his hand, there is an irresistible force restricting his body, making it impossible for him to swing the sword no matter what!

what happened?

Gu Jieshuang raised her head and looked at Zhongqiu. The man was still standing there, holding an unsheathed sword with a friendly expression.

 Did the Holy Master do it?

 But, what exactly did he do…

Gu Jieshuang was suddenly at a loss.

Saint Master Zhongqiu didn’t even move at all, and he actually lost the ability to swing his sword?

 What exactly is this…

 Gu Jieshuang forced herself to calm down.

She knew that Zhongqiu had remained motionless at this time to give himself a chance to feel it. Otherwise, he would have no chance of surviving as long as he attacked with all his strength.

That…

Gu Jieshuang’s hazy eyes suddenly appeared little by little starlight. At this moment, the world slowed down in her eyes.

 However, it is not much slower. It is still far from the state of being able to see the light clearly in the city of God.

 She uses the star scale to sense her surroundings, but everywhere she goes is chaos, and there is nothing that can respond to her star scale.

how so…

 Gu Jieshuang was a little impatient.

The opportunity to let Zhongqiu guide her was only this once, and she didn’t want to waste time because she couldn’t get in.

 …By the way, is this ability that prevents oneself from wielding a sword also a negative state?

Then… solve the problem of Emei!

Gu Jieshuang reached out and made a move, and the long sword made of ice crystals fell into her hands. Suddenly, her whole body felt light, and she seemed to have lost a lot of restraints, but… she still couldn’t swing the sword!

 She quickly looked at the sword in her hand.

 Wrong! Zhongqiu “controls” not only himself, but also the sword in his hand!

As soon as she thought of this, the world in her eyes suddenly changed. She saw that the invisible “sword intent” spread from the ordinary standing figure in front, and the sword intent enveloped a considerable area, everything, All have been affected.

Gu Jieshuang took a breath of air.

 This range is too exaggerated…

At this moment, although she clearly sensed the existence of the opponent’s sword intent and could not tell whether the opponent was moving or not, what she saw still made her confused.

 She still can’t understand.

Zhongqiu’s sword intent was too strong, and his power level was much higher than Ning Xingyi’s!

 Has your sword… been suppressed by the sword’s will…

 No, no matter what, no matter whether you can understand it or not, this sword must be cut out!

Since you can’t understand it, let’s try to overcome skill with force.

Gu Jieshuang took a deep breath, and then with a thought, the sword intent behind Han Tianxue Waterfall turned into a green halo and fell on the dusty holy sword.

homology!

The Broken Feng Hantian, which seemed to be made of snow, suddenly appeared in Gu Jieshuang’s hands.

Opposite him, Zhongqiu nodded: “That’s right… you have a very thorough understanding of this sword’s meaning. You are not just dabbling in it, and your talents are not wasted.”

 Hum…

 The Broken Feng Hantian in his hand kept trembling, but he still couldn’t swing the sword.

not enough!

So…

　　Bang!

 Broken Feng Hantian also suddenly turned into a green halo, and all of them were thrown into Jie’e Mei in his left hand.

 Synchrony of Darkness: Demonic Sword·Hanji!

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ttle！ The ice exploded in an instant. Demon Sword Hanji wanted to spread the ice up his arms like before, but at this time Gu Jieshuang was in a mental state and had no entity, so the ice that spread up was lost after freezing. Carrying, breaking and falling from the sky, and the cycle continues.

 Across from him, Zhongqiu raised his brows slightly, his face moved for the first time.

“Isn’t it the behavior of a gentleman to indulge in evil thoughts… No, instead of being controlled by evil thoughts, you turned them into your own use… Doing what you want without going beyond the rules, wonderful!” His expression changed quietly, “This… is also what Yu Cang did. Is this your original idea?…Hahaha, we are really lucky to have such a genius in future generations!”

 Collapse!

The sound of a heavy glacier collapsing came from Gu Jieshuang’s sword. She slowly raised Han Ji, and the phantoms of soul cards around her appeared and disappeared. With this process, the sword on the long sword appeared. The momentum is getting stronger and stronger!

Now Gu Jieshuang has no physical limitations, and his soul energy is almost unlimited. He can use all the soul cards in a short period of time, and Hanji can just convert all these soul cards into cold energy!

 This sword will be the strongest blow that Gu Jieshuang can swing!

 After using so many soul cards, Gu Jieshuang felt that her body suddenly became heavier, and there were more and more cracks on her body. Some of the weak parts even fell off and turned into powder and dissipated.

 At a certain moment, Gu Jieshuang’s eyes narrowed.

 This sword can finally be wielded!

  “—Hanji!”

The long sword swung down, rolling up a torrential cold air on the surging sea of ​​clouds, and a sword light slashed out diagonally, as if rolling up a huge wave!

 In response, Zhongqiu nodded slightly.

 “Good.”

 Then, stretch out your finger and tap lightly.

Buzz!

An arc-shaped ripple spread out in the direction of his finger, as if something invisible and extremely fast passed through the sea of ​​clouds, causing countless ripples in the clouds!

The ripples passed by “Hanji”, and the cold air suddenly dissipated. The huge wave that seemed to be monstrous was easily cut in half. The upper part scattered into clouds and mist and rose into the sky, while the lower part submerged into the sea of ​​clouds. When it passed by Zhongqiu, It has turned into a low wave that poses no threat.

Seeing this, Gu Jieshuang was stunned.

What…?

Hit the sword with all his strength and was defeated so easily?

After this sword attack, what other methods do I have…

 She was trying hard to think about how to fight next, when she saw Zhongqiu in front of her gently putting his hand on the hilt of his sword.

 “Young man, watch carefully, I’m about to draw my sword.”

The light words came, and Gu Jieshuang felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He quickly raised the magic sword Hanji, wanting to defend first.

Zhongqiu said: “No need to resist, just feel it.”

 Zheng!

The sound of swords roared, the sound of metal was deafening, and an invisible sword energy came across the sea of ​​clouds!

 Gu Jieshuang’s spirit was highly concentrated, and the cracks on his body quietly became more numerous.

 It seems that… you can hide?

 —No, you can’t avoid it.

Just when Gu Jieshuang wanted to dodge, her intuition told her that it was useless, she couldn’t avoid it.

Isn’t this sword power too weak…I can’t hit you, and you can’t dodge if you hit me!

 Okay, if you can’t avoid it, then don’t hide!

Gu Jieshuang gritted his teeth, and stars suddenly appeared in his eyes.

The world slowed down again. This time, Gu Jieshuang concentrated all her energy, and the effect was more significant. The sword energy passed through the sea of ​​clouds at the speed of a walk. She could even see clearly the ripples caused by the sword energy. .

That’s… Gu Jieshuang opened his eyes wide, and in his mind, he suddenly remembered some of the popular works of Saint Master Zhongqiu that he had read before.

At this moment, she suddenly realized something.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

Time suddenly sped up, and the sword energy passed by Gu Jieshuang’s side, but turned into clouds and disappeared.

Zhongqiu did not hurt Gu Jieshuang with this blow.

He looked at Gu Jieshuang, who was standing there with a dazed expression, and nodded with satisfaction.

 “You have already started the good life.”

 Gu Jieshuang seemed to have come back to her senses. She blinked and saluted Zhongqiu again: “Thank you, Holy Master, for giving me the sword!”

Zhongqiu just chuckled and said nothing.

 Raising his head, Gu Jieshuang wanted to ask something else, but suddenly discovered some clues.

 Zhongqiu’s body…why are there cracks? Looks like it’s about to break apart?

Zhongqiu seemed to be aware of Gu Jieshuang’s doubts and said, “I am just a trace of his sword intention. When the sword intention is used, I will naturally dissipate.”

“Ah?” Gu Jieshuang suddenly became anxious, “Then is there any remedy…”

Although he knew that the person in front of him was not Zhongqiu, even if it was just a part of him, she didn’t want him to just disappear… If nothing else, if he stayed in Feng Yue Cangjian, with the boss’s talent, he might sooner or later One day we can create a means to resurrect the Holy Master!

How could he disappear just for her?

But Zhongqiu just waved his hand lightly: “Young students, don’t be impatient – there is still a sword coming next.”

“besides…?”

“My power is limited, so I can only give you two swords. Please be careful not to use them as evil.”

Zhongqiu stretched out his hand, and a glimmer of light shone on the long sword. Gu Jieshuang looked over and saw that those glimmers were tiny luminous characters.

 I saw him whispering:

 “The sword and pen are for engraving, and the nations are for writing;”

Zhongqiu’s body slowly floated up, and he raised his sword. Countless words passed over the sword and disappeared into the void. Although the light was faint, it made people feel solemn and shocked.

 “The jade is carved—the spring and autumn are like darkness!”

                       .

 The sound of gold and iron!

In an instant, Gu Jieshuang felt countless vicissitudes of life rushing towards her face. She seemed to be in the torrent of history, and in just a moment, she was submerged in it, speechless and speechless.

I do not know how long it has been.

 Gu Jieshuang woke up again on the cloud.

She looked at the sky. For a moment, she felt that this was no longer Feng Yue Cangjian, and the pressure in her mind was almost inaudible.

 “You wake up, later in life.”

Gu Jieshuang turned his head and Zhongqiu was standing next to him.

At this moment, he suddenly seemed much older, with a lot of wrinkles on his face. Even the sword on his waist had disappeared. His body was covered with golden cracks, and he seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

“Saint Master? What are you…”

“Let’s go.” Zhongqiu still had a friendly smile on his face.

“It’s because of me… But you don’t have to. A young man named Yu Cang will pass by here later. He will definitely find a way to rescue you from here…”

Only then did Gu Jieshuang understand why when she mentioned her boss, he said “I can’t see her.”

Could it be that, from the first time he saw himself, he decided to teach him the sword intention…at the cost of dissipating it?

Hearing this, Zhongqiu laughed heartily. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief: “Who said I was trapped here?”

 “Then you…”

“Zhongqiu, Zhongqiu, he has taught everything he has learned in his life.” Countless fragments slowly fell off the figure’s body, and the golden light became more and more intense, “But the only thing he can’t teach others is his sword intention.” .The only disciple who had any hope of understanding died in the war.”

The figure looked at the sky with very calm eyes: “Sword Intention… He has searched all over the countries, but he can’t find anything that can carry the Sword Intent. He can’t even leave the Sword Intent to be deciphered by future generations – the only one The place where the sword intent can be preserved is this Feng Yue Cangjian.

“So what if you have the best knowledge in the world? Knowledge that cannot be passed on is just water without a source.”

 Gu Jieshuang looked at Zhongqiu who was disappearing, but he couldn’t speak.

 Indeed… it is difficult to find a suitable carrier for sword intention. Even today, when soul card science has developed extremely maturely, Ning Xingyi still made the Sword Intention Soul Card after being inspired by Yu Cang and consuming a lot of precious materials.

 At Zhongqiu’s time, totems had just been improved into letter slips, and it was normal that he could not find a suitable carrier.

Feng Yue Cangjian has special rules. Between the first and second levels, countless wills have left traces here, and sword intentions can also stay in it.

“So.” The figure turned back and looked at Gu Jieshuang, “Now that I have found a junior who can learn, and this junior happens to be willing to learn, how can I not teach him with all my money? You don’t have to regret it, if it were Yu Canglai, He may not be able to learn my two swords.”

 Gu Jieshuang was silent for a moment.

It is true that the boss cannot use a sword…but she always feels that the boss must have a way.

“Okay, let’s stop talking here.” The figure shook his head slightly, “Now you are just getting started with two swords, and you don’t have a soul card in your hand… This is fine. I think he won’t mind helping me make two sword soul cards.”

He is constantly learning. Since Gu Jieshuang brought the Sword Intention Soul Card to Feng Yue Cangjian and used it so many times, he must have learned it. It is not difficult to make the Soul Card.

Although each soul card master can only obtain one soul card when entering Feng Yue Cangjian, there are always exceptions, and Zhong Qiu still has the reputation.

“Okay.” Gu Jieshuang took a deep breath, then held the disciple ceremony and bowed slightly, “Disciple Gu Jieshuang, thank you Saint Master for giving me the sword!”

“…I am not him.” The figure looked towards the sky, half of his body had completely disappeared, “Okay, continue your journey to the sky.”

“Dengtian…Holy Master, can I ask you another question?” Gu Jieshuang asked quickly, “What should I pay attention to when going to the third floor?”

 “The third level…I don’t know.”

 “Huh?” Gu Jieshuang was stunned.

 “Because, he has only reached the second floor.”

“How could…” Gu Jieshuang took a breath of air.

  Could it be that a person as powerful as Saint Master Zhongqiu cannot reach the third level… But isn’t it said that even myths can reach the third level…

“It’s not impossible, he just doesn’t want to.” The figure said slowly, “The last level of the three limits is the limit of existence. Those who pass this level will return home accompanied by all living beings reciting their names! And he…hehe, he doesn’t want to listen to the audience. If I recite my name, I just want to see everyone like a dragon.”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

 The figure completely dissipated, turned into fragments, and disappeared among the sea of ​​clouds.

 …

 “All living beings recite names?” Yu Cang blinked.

“That’s right.” Jiang Shan nodded with a solemn expression, “When it reaches the third limit, the body and spirit are all broken down, leaving only a name. Even Feng Yue Cangjian itself cannot be repaired directly, so it is necessary to All living beings recite the name.”

Zhong Sheng continued: “As long as you pass the third limit, a golden light will burst out from Zunyue, shining in all directions. People who are illuminated by the golden light will know your name at the first time, and will know your name consciously or unconsciously. Call out names during the process.

“At that time, you will return to the world amidst the chanting of your true name. And those people will also know that there will be another future myth in the world.”

Yu Cang clicked his tongue: “It sounds… indeed very exaggerated.”

“Yes, that’s why Ye Yan gave up when he was about to break through to the third level. He said he would be embarrassed if so many people called his name.”

“…I would be embarrassed if it were me.” Yu Cang could only say this.

Jiang Shan was still looking at the sky, with a look of surprise in his eyes: “Jie Shuang… is still going up? The second level is not her limit? Oh dear, am I going to witness the birth of a future myth today…”

Jiangshan’s eyes revealed expectations. However, before he could say anything else, he heard a sound like a dusk drum and a morning bell coming from the sky!

In an instant, the clouds that filled the sky revealed a hole, in which the sky was filled with rays of light, and the sound of the sky was endless. It was shocking but also carried some kind of melody, as if the sky was playing music!

Jiang Shan swallowed the second half of his sentence immediately.

 “The heaven has decreed… It seems that Jieshuang has stopped at the second level, but it’s a pity…”

“What are you regretting?” Zhong Sheng glared, “You’ve only passed the first level, and you’re regretting it because of others… They are better than you no matter what!”

 “Okay, okay.” Jiang Shan nodded quickly.

At this time, a ray of light fell from the sky and landed on the towering top. Suddenly the light dissipated like stardust, and Gu Jieshuang’s figure appeared in it.

 Her eyes were closed, her clothes had not changed much from when she entered Feng Yue’s world – her clothes had also been repaired.

The outline of the facial features is still the same as before, but I don’t know if it is an illusion. Yu Cang always feels that it is much more harmonious than before. Moreover, the few dead skin and calluses on his hands have also disappeared, and the skin is as soft as a baby. Same.

Just standing there with eyes closed, a breath of ethereal energy was generated out of thin air, like a banished fairy in the sky.

Suddenly, Gu Jieshuang opened her eyes, and the stars gradually disappeared in her pupils. Her eyes immediately found Yu Cang.

 Then, a smile appeared on his face.

 “Boss, I’m back!”
