Chapter 819 "Simplifying Complexity"

Chapter 819 "Simplifying Complexity"
在虚神界之中，古烨盘膝而坐，他的身上散发着强大的剑意，帝青剑也是守护在其身边。
“何为Really? ”
不知道过去了多久，古烨的眸子突然张开，刹那间，风云变动。而在他睁眼的那一瞬, 帝青剑回到手中。
Stab, poke, chop, cleave, slice, cross
In the realm of the virtual gods, Gu Ye continuously repeated these simple actions. The speed at which Gu Ye swung his sword was incredibly slow, making him appear like a child who had just started learning swordplay.
"Understand what is truth?"
古凌天突然出现在场中，他看着古烨的动作，也是满意的点了点头。在他的视线之中, 古烨的速度达到了一个极致。
快到极致便为慢！
"True! Simplify complex into simplicity!" Gu Ye put away his sword, but there were many afterimages around him. These were the remnants left behind by Gu Ye's sword swinging at a certain speed. Translation:
“我先前为了强大，不断的追求强大的剑技！殊不知，自己正深深的陷入陷阱之中。”
古烨喃喃的说着，看向手中的帝青剑，跨出了一步，剑意充斥了到了帝青剑之中。但就在剑意刚刚布满帝青剑的时候，天空之中忽然降下一道神秘能量，刹那间，剑意竟然硬生生的被压回了古烨的身体。
The voice of Gu Lingtian wafts through the sky, "When you no longer rely on the intent of the sword and shatter this stone stele, then you will truly understand the meaning of this word."
As the words fade away, a stone stele about ten meters high and one person wide appears in this illusionary realm of the divine. Reply: Those were the words spoken by Gu Lingtian in the sky.
Looking at the stone monument in front of him, Gu Ye raised the Emperor's Azure Sword. With a swing of his long sword, a sword energy collided with the monument. However, the moment the sword energy touched the stone monument, it disappeared.
真是奇怪！
古烨又是连着斩出几剑，但剑气在没入石碑之后，便是石沉大海。
这一次，他朝着石碑走了过去，刚刚的试探足以说明石碑的不简单。来到石碑前，他伸手触摸在那石碑上，手臂上突然传来一阵痛感，让古烨下意识的便是缩了回来。
Sword injury!
Gu Ye looked at the several sword auras overflowing in his palm, the sword auras were so familiar, they were clearly the sword auras he had unleashed before.
Does this stone stele absorb sword auras and then reflect them?
Gu Ye fell into silence for a moment, but soon he realized. Everything has its limitations, and he couldn't break through this stone tablet because his power wasn't strong enough. When his power reaches the limit that the stone tablet can withstand, the tablet will naturally shatter. Translated:
In an instant, Gu Ye's confidence multiplied a hundredfold as he looked at the sword in his hand, carefully sensing every inch of aura within the Emperor Qing Sword. Then, he swung his sword with all his might.
In a swift motion, the sword qi struck the stone tablet, surpassing the speed of sound and catching everyone off guard. This strike was several times stronger than the previous ones, yet the stone tablet merely trembled slightly.
Just as Gu Ye was preparing to take another breath and strike again, the stone tablet unexpectedly unleashed a sword qi, catching Gu Ye off guard and making him extremely embarrassed.
Still not enough!
古烨无奈的摇了摇头，这一剑可以说是自己不用剑意外最强的一剑，但也只是让石碑颤动了一下，还是自己的剑气不够强。
Really?
Have you truly grasped the meaning of the phrase "returning to simplicity"?
取出帝青剑，古烨又开始做出最基本的剑技，刺！斩！横！等等！
This time, his speed can be described as extremely slow. Each sword thrust wastes a lot of time, but to Gu Ye, it is all worth it because of the meaning behind this word!
虚神界之上，古凌天看着下方不断推演剑技的古烨，也是皱了皱眉头，不过很快便是舒展开了，随后满意的点了点头。
This kid has finally discovered the true essence of the sword!
突然，他的眉头再次一皱，在看了底下古烨一眼之后，一摆手，一道分身出现，随后便是消失在原地。
虚神界之中，古烨依旧在不断的做着那些基础的剑技，他的剑技依旧慢，甚至比之刚才都要慢。
不知道过了多久，古烨突然席地而坐，他的周身一股无形的意境浮现，他要再次领悟剑意的真谛。
Time passes by minute by minute, second by second. After who knows how long, a whirlwind suddenly stirs up in the realm of virtual gods. If observed carefully, one can sense the presence of sword intent and sword qi within it. Riding on the momentum of the whirlwind, Gu Ye slowly rises, and the Emperor Qing Sword suddenly appears in his hand. Then, he thrusts the sword towards a certain direction, followed by a slash towards the front. Please note that the translation may not be accurate.
就这样，他站在那里，不断的做出剑的基本动作，而他此时的速度已经快到了一种极致，甚至是留下了道道残影。
突然，古烨的眸子张开，帝青剑悬浮在面前。
"So that's how it is!"
In an instant, the numerous afterimages around merged together, and then a sword was swung. This sword seemed ordinary, but when it touched the stone tablet, an unparalleled energy burst forth. The stone tablet cracked loudly, and as long as Gu Ye swung another sword, the tablet would shatter.
“剑为根本！剑道的真谛原来如此！”
The essence of Kendo is the pursuit of the essence of all things. Even though sword techniques may be dazzling, they are nothing but fleeting and superficial. True sword techniques are simple yet immensely powerful.
"Very good! One more sword, and this monument will be shattered!"
就在古烨道破真谛的时候，古凌天的声音也是响起，他出现在前者的面前。
"Want to give it a try?"
古烨一眼便是看透了此时的古凌天只不过是一具分身，不过他没说什么，道：“来！”
他也是想要看看，自己这个便宜老爹的实力。哪怕这具分身只能发挥本体的六成力量。
“你先来？”古凌天看着古烨，说道。
古烨点头，随后一脚踏出，帝青剑在手，随意刺出一剑。
古凌天看着这一剑，也是淡然一笑，以指化刀，迎上那一剑。
当古烨的剑刺在古凌天那指刀之上，刚一接触，古烨手中的剑便是剧烈一颤，紧接着，那指刀中蕴含着的强大力量竟然直接将古烨连人带剑的朝后爆退。
当退了差不多百丈之后，古烨右脚突然一跺地，稳住身躯之后，再次刺出一剑后，才是将指刀上的刀意抹平。
古凌天看着手指上的那一抹剑气，也是笑了笑，随后右脚发力，指刀再次砍出。
"Once more!"
"I beg you for it!" Emperor Guye swung his Azure Sword and delivered a powerful strike, followed by an upward flick!
"Not enough yet!" Gu Lingtian effortlessly dealt with Guye's sword moves while smiling and speaking.
Yes, that's right, he is smiling because at this moment he can feel Gu Ye's sword continuously growing stronger. He is deepening his memory of these ordinary sword moves and even discovering how to use the least amount of elemental power to activate them. What makes him happy is that Gu Ye now truly understands the true essence of sword intent.
