"36 Sword Art of the Big Dipper" is all-encompassing, which means that everyone's practice of "36 Sword Art of the Big Dipper" is different. It's like the same word. Different people write it with different strokes, and it will become completely different shapes. The same thing is the meaning of the word.

Among Li Xuandu's brothers, Li Yuanying saw the word "fast". Only speed can't be broken. A one-handed light sword raised the speed to the extreme. Li Taiyi saw the word "combined". Taoism and magic are combined, and yin and yang are blended. He simply used two swords, and as his cultivation level increased, he used more and more swords. Lu Yanbing has the worst qualifications and progresses slowly. He has not found his own way yet. He just follows suit and is like an ordinary person. Zhang Haishi saw the word "momentum" in "36 Sword Art of the Big Dipper", and thus created the "Four Seas Tide Rising Sword". The sword is powerful and powerful, and it overwhelms people with momentum.

As for Li Xuandu, it can be divided into two stages, with the second year of Tianbao as the boundary. In the first half of the stage, Li Xuandu saw the word "force" and tried to integrate all his knowledge into one sword. He and Li Yuanying were in two different directions. Li Yuanying accumulated a lot of small injuries and put people to death with countless small injuries, while Li Xuandu tried to kill people with one sword. So at that time, Li Xuandu didn't understand the ways of the world. He would draw his sword as soon as he disagreed with someone, and he would injure and kill people without holding back.

In fact, martial arts change with the temperament of the master. A compassionate monk will hardly use cruel means that make people live worse than death, and a demon who kills people like crazy will not use compassionate moves that show mercy everywhere. So Li Xuandu began to reflect on the past after the second year of Tianbao, and what changed was not only his ideas, but also the concept of martial arts. In the second half of the period, Li Xuandu no longer attached importance to "force", and even because of the disagreement with his master's philosophy, he began to waver in the entire "36 Swords of the Big Dipper". Li Xuandu still practiced and used the "36 Swords of the Big Dipper", but just treated it as an implement, no longer life-threatening. At the same time, he began to extensively study the learning of various schools, from the "Cihang Pudu Sword Canon" and "Taiyin Thirteen Swords" which are as famous as the "36 Swords of the Big Dipper", to ordinary palm techniques, fist techniques, and finger techniques, trying to find his own way from them.

In the end, Li Xuandu figured out a truth. Other people's things are ultimately other people's, no matter how similar they are, they are still other people's, so Senior Brother Zhang Haishi wanted to create the "Four Seas Tide Rising Sword", because the most suitable for the "36 Swords of the Big Dipper" is only Li Daoxu. If you just learn and imitate, you will never be able to surpass Li Daoxu, and you will never be able to say that the disciple does not have to be inferior to the master. In the past, whether it was Li Xuandu, Li Yuanying, or Li Taiyi, they only stayed at the stage of learning because of their shallow cultivation and lack of vision. This is not wrong. If you want to walk your own way, the premise is to learn to walk, and the premise of creation is to learn. Now that Li Xuandu has mastered all the skills, he has finally embarked on a new path. However, he did not create his own skills directly like Xu Wugui, but like his master Li Daoxu, he classified, summarized, integrated, melted all his learning into one furnace, and then improved it.

Because Li Xuandu opposed Li Daoxu, this new set of sword tactics is like the opposite of the "Thirty-six Sword Tactics of the Big Dipper".

Zhang Haishi is the person Li Xuandu trusts the most, so Li Xuandu did not hide his private and showed all the sword tactics he carefully prepared. Only those who face this set of sword tactics and are proficient in the "Thirty-six Sword Tactics of the Big Dipper" can feel the wonderful meaning of this set of sword tactics. It's a pity that Lu Yanbing is not here, otherwise watching the two brothers fighting swords will definitely be of great benefit to her swordsmanship.

At this time, the two had exchanged more than a hundred moves, without using any Qi, but relying only on the toughness of their physique, the wooden swords in their hands made bursts of whistling sounds. Even if the two lost all their Qi, with only this swordsmanship and the powerful force contained in their physique, even ordinary masters of the Return to the True Realm would not be their opponents.

Among the onlookers at this time were Qin Daoyuan, Qin Buyi, Qin Buyi, Qin Su, Ning Yi, Shi Wuyue, Yesi, and Li Feiyan, all of whom were great masters of the Heavenly Man Realm. Although Qin Daoyuan was not a disciple of the Butian Sect, he had a family background of learning from the Qin family and was also a good master. It was just that he had a reputation as his elder brother and he rarely took action on weekdays, so he was not well-known. In terms of realm cultivation, I don’t know how much higher he is than the third brother Qin Daofang. And Qin Su did not disappoint Li Xuandu’s hard "cultivation". Finally, during the time when Li Xuandu went to the Golden Tent, he successfully entered the Heavenly Man Realm and was not too far behind Li Xuandu. At this time, all the great masters of the Heaven Realm watched the two people fighting with swords, and they all admired them, but also felt their own shortcomings.

Among the spectators, only Li Feiyan was proficient in the "Thirty-six Sword Techniques of the Big Dipper" and had a deeper understanding. At the beginning, Zhang Haishi and Li Xuandu were still in the trial stage and their moves were relatively conservative. Li Feiyan combined her own learning and felt that she benefited a lot. But later, many of the wonderful points of the two people's swordsmanship could not be appreciated at the first time, especially Li Xuandu's new sword technique. Sometimes Li Feiyan would pause to think about the essence of a move after seeing it, but during this pause, Li Xuandu and Zhang Haishi had already disassembled several moves. She completely ignored how these moves were disassembled.

Li Feiyan was shocked and couldn't help thinking, "The Purple Mansion Sword Dao is so high. If he fights with me, even if he doesn't use his realm to suppress me, I can only last more than 200 moves before I admit defeat. I have been trapped in the Demon Suppression Platform for these years. Although I can concentrate on studying the sword without being distracted by worldly affairs, there is still a layer of window paper that I haven't broken through. I am far behind the two of them."

In fact, Li Feiyan is not inferior to Zhang Haishi or Li Xuandu in terms of talent. The reason why she is stuck in a bottleneck is that she only learns without her own path. Moreover, the Demon Suppression Platform is quiet, but there is no one to communicate with, just like working behind closed doors. Zhang Haishi and Li Xuandu are not good at it. They each created their own sword tactics and broke through the shackles. After the swordsmanship reaches a certain level, they are no longer bound by fixed moves. Just like Xu Wugui uses the "Thirteen Swords of Taiyin", he never uses any sword in a rigid manner, but completely disrupts it, and then reassembles it, and can even use the divine will of several swords at the same time. In fact, the same is true for sword fighting. Swordsmanship is dead, and people are alive. In addition to being proficient in sword tactics and swordsmanship, a large part depends on the spiritual enlightenment of the swordsman. Once you reach the realm of free and unruly, it all depends on the way of adapting, just like writing an article, the article is natural, and the master's hand is occasionally obtained.

The duel between Zhang Haishi and Li Xuandu has exceeded 200 moves, which is the limit that Li Feiyan considers himself to be defeated. Although Zhang Haishi can still hold on, he has gradually fallen into a disadvantage. After all, he is most proficient in the "Four Seas Tide Rising Sword" instead of the "Thirty-six Swords of the Big Dipper".

As a last resort, Zhang Haishi had to use the "Four Seas Tide Rising Sword". Li Xuandu had also learned this set of swordsmanship, but compared with Zhang Haishi, he was far from being proficient. Even without the support of the vigorous Qi, Zhang Haishi also exerted the terrifying power of the "Four Seas Tide Rising Sword" with only his physique. The sword moves are no longer exquisite, but the victory is won by the sword momentum. Even a simple horizontal sword has the momentum to sweep away thousands of troops, and people cannot break the force with cleverness.

"Four Seas Tide Rising Sword" is divided into four chapters, namely East, West, South, and North. The East Sea Chapter incorporates the wonderful meaning of "Thirty-six Swords of the Big Dipper", the South Sea Chapter uses part of the wonderful meaning of "Cihang Pudu Sword Canon" of the Cihang Sect, and the North Sea Chapter uses part of the wonderful meaning of "Nine Heavenly Questions" of the Butian Sect. Only the West Sea Chapter is Zhang Haishi's own creation. Zhang Haishi has not learned these skills like Li Xuandu, but he has fought with masters of the Butian Sect and the Cihang Sect, and he is not unfamiliar with their moves. He does not seek to be similar in form, but only to be similar in spirit, and integrate it into his own learning, choosing the good ones and following them, and changing the bad ones, so there is the West Sea Chapter.

At this time, Zhang Haishi used the West Sea Chapter. In the eyes of outsiders, his sword moves became very similar to Li Xuandu. The two attacked, defended, and avoided, and cooperated perfectly. It didn't seem like a sword fight, but it seemed like they were practicing sword fighting.

Only Li Xuandu understood that this was because the two brothers had taken a similar but not completely identical path. So the two sword moves were similar but not the same. Just as Zhang Haishi expected, the "Cihang Pudu Sword Canon", "Taiyin Thirteen Swords", or "Heavenly Questions Nine Styles" and other learnings were just branches and sleight of hand, not the main trunk of this new sword art.

Facing the "Four Seas Tide Sword" like a rolling tide, Li Xuandu's sword moves were completely revealed. The sword was equally mighty, but not lacking in exquisiteness, just like the stars in the sky, which had their own rules and boundaries.

Zhang Haishi finally understood, "This is the Taiping Sect's 'Southern Dipper Twenty-Eight Star Formation'."

Li Xuandu shook his head and said, "Brother is wrong, this is the 'Southern Dipper Twenty-Eight Sword Art'."
