#593 - The Three Powers of Sword

Besides the above-mentioned cultivation achievements, what Liang Yue valued most was actually the integration of his own series of cultivation techniques and the many skills he obtained from the system.

Not to mention the skills he obtained from the system lottery, even the things Liang Yue himself learned from the various worlds were complex and diverse enough.

It was not easy to organize these things with a unified standard, after all, many of the techniques and methods originated from different cultivation paths.

After pondering for a while, Liang Yue could only try to follow his heart and classify some techniques that could barely be regarded as the same type, and then integrate them into his own moves.

Coincidentally, these selected moves were basically sword techniques and sword arts, after all, Liang Yue had obtained the most techniques in this area before.

Moreover, the ancestors and predecessors of his own Tianzong Sect were mostly known for their swordsmanship, and had left him with many materials and legacies!

Just randomly picking up a technique from the Tianzong classics and flipping through it, one could find a large number of direct and frank applications of Taoist thought, principles, and techniques in swordsmanship.

With the guidance of these predecessors, Liang Yue naturally followed suit and picked up the enthusiasm he once had for sword practice again.

He re-integrated the practice of swordsmanship into his daily cultivation plan.

Like his calligraphy, which was now vastly different from what it used to be, it became an indispensable part of his daily cultivation routine.

He persevered in this way, diligently, for ten years as if it were one day.

Recently, Liang Yue had gained a lot of insights into his swordsmanship.

He also had a rough idea about summarizing his various techniques and theories, and then integrating them into his swordsmanship.

However, the timing did not seem ripe yet.

Based on his shallow understanding and limited creativity, Liang Yue had only managed to create three sets of corresponding sword stance techniques based on his understanding of the three natural forces of thunder, fire, and wood.

Alas ~ Shame… …

… …

It was now 1929. In the past ten years, many major events had happened in this world.

The most important of these was the death of the Tsar.

That old fellow ultimately failed to survive the torment of his illness and died in the year when the domestic north-south war was at a stalemate.

Moreover, his death had a great impact on that country.

First of all, the military organization led by the Tsar, as well as the alliance of old nobles, landlords, and capitalists, began to disintegrate.

Some of these people defected to the Entente powers such as Britain and France, carrying a large amount of Russian domestic assets and interests with them.

Others defected to the northern regime, mainly the poor ordinary bears, soldiers fighting on the front lines, and soldiers captured during the war.

Only a small number of people chose to continue to be loyal to the Tsar's rightful heir, the young Crown Prince Alexei.

Unfortunately, the Crown Prince was too young, only sixteen years old when he took over the throne from his deceased father, and he did not have enough prestige to deter the courtiers and generals who once belonged to his father.

Moreover, he himself suffered from the family's hereditary hemophilia.

Although there were rumors that he had gradually recovered under the treatment of a doctor, Liang Yue knew that this statement was false.

Because, before his death, the old Tsar had specifically contacted Yuan Datou through telegram, and then contacted him here.

The Tsar's purpose, in addition to talking to Liang Yue about the official border division between China and Russia after his death, in order to stabilize the rule of the new Tsar.

He also wanted Liang Yue to take action to treat his family's illnesses.

Liang Yue did not refuse this.

However, his idea at the time was just to hope that the little Crown Prince could smoothly inherit the throne, and then continue to lead a group of nobles, the bourgeoisie, and the Allied forces to fight against the northern regime.

Even if those people were only nominally subservient to the rule of the new Tsar, and secretly engaged in various petty schemes, it was better than not having a nominal leader at all.

As for the formal border division plan, in fact, both sides knew that it was just a piece of toilet paper.

At most, it could be used to a certain extent as evidence for delineating boundaries in peaceful times.

Moreover, it had to be under the premise that both neighboring countries had equal deterrent power.

Otherwise, things like the previous Paris spoils-sharing conference would definitely continue to be staged.

However, the Tsar on his sickbed probably never imagined that in the future human society, there would be something called an atomic bomb… …

At this time, what he was really betting on was that Liang Yue, and the Chinese side, did not want to lose them as a force that could continue to contain the northern regime.

Since both sides had the willingness to cooperate and there were common interests, Liang Yue did not say any more nonsense and directly threw a few Marrow Cleansing Pills over.

Speaking of hemophilia, it is actually a hereditary disease of coagulation dysfunction. Once injured and bleeding, it is easy to bleed non-stop.

The Marrow Cleansing Pill, in addition to helping the human body to excrete various wastes, is also rich in a large amount of vitality energy, which can help repair and even strengthen the various tissues of the human body to a certain extent.

This was different from Yuan Datou's situation back then… …

In short, after the old Tsar was gone, the newly appointed Nicholas III was obviously unable to hold the field, and this son was kind and somewhat indecisive.

If you want him to become decisive and ruthless, in addition to time, I am afraid that he will have to pay a lot of tuition for this.

So, the change of the supreme commander in the rear from old to new suddenly became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

After receiving the news, the northern regime immediately sounded the horn of counterattack.

The army, which could only passively defend, suddenly burst out with strong combat power, desperately charging and killing on the battlefield, even the well-equipped and well-supplied Allied forces.

For a time, they could not resist and began to retreat steadily.

However, at this time, the army on the northern front had actually reached the end of its strength. After fighting for a while, it fell into a period of weakness again.

Relying on some of the supplies and weapons seized from the Allied forces, they barely maintained the situation and recovered some vitality.

But with this alone, it was obviously not enough to break through the Allied blockade line.

On the other hand, because of the accession of the new Tsar, the Allied forces were busy demanding military expenses and benefits, which temporarily delayed the timing of the war and gave the northern regime a chance to breathe.

In the jurisdiction, all industrial production lines were desperately engaged in production, trying to transport supplies to the front lines.

Later, because of a heavy snowstorm, Russia entered the winter season ahead of schedule, the weather became unusually cold, and the pace of the battle between the two sides was completely interrupted.

Until the end of spring in 1920, after resting for half a year, the north and south sides had also dealt with their internal affairs, and the war started again.

The north's combat power and fighting will were obviously stronger, and the fighting style was more fierce and sturdy, but the southern Tsarist Russia, supported by the Allied forces, was not weak either, and the two sides continued to start a long war of attrition.

In order to disintegrate the Allied forces of the Entente countries as soon as possible, the northern regime used all kinds of means.

They secretly sent a large number of speakers and organizers to sneak into countries such as Britain, France, and Italy, colluding in all directions, launching a large number of workers' marches and demonstrations, protesting the war and calling for peace and recuperation.

Who knew that this happened to touch the nerves of the rulers and the bourgeoisie of the Entente countries. The louder the protests at home, the more they could realize the danger of the other side.

So, except for Italy, which withdrew some of its troops on the grounds of recuperation and rotation, the other Entente countries almost unanimously issued clear war orders to the front lines again, and began to increase the scale of material transportation.

This situation continued until two years later.

That is, in 1922, because the losses on both sides of the war were too great, the intensity of the war began to gradually decrease under the conscious and tacit control of the north and south sides… …
