Yes, in Kenzu's eyes, the dirtiest thing wasn't the leaves in the middle of the road, but the people walking on the road.
From a practical point of view, when people walked on the road, it was the melons, fruit shells, plastic wrappers, chewing gum, and other garbage in their hands that made the road extremely dirty.
Even if the quality of people had been raised to an extremely high level, they wouldn't leave any garbage on the road.
However, this couldn't prevent people from leaving their own dust, footprints, and even dandruff on the road. Although these things were small, they were indeed garbage.
The entire Malu Palace was equipped with good dust removal equipment. Before the participants entered the road, the road was extremely clean.
Therefore, other than a leaf, Guhan couldn't find even a speck of dust on the road.
On the contrary, after Guhan walked on the road, he left behind tens of millions of tiny garbage along with his footprints.
From a philosophical point of view, all the garbage in the world was actually born because of humans … Even if the garbage itself wasn't produced by humans, it was more or less directly or indirectly related to humans.
Taking a step back and looking at it from an idealistic perspective, the garbage itself existed because of the existence of humans. If humans didn't exist in this world, then naturally, garbage wouldn't exist either.
Think about it, if humans didn't exist in this world, then why would humans care about garbage?
Not only did it apply to garbage, but it also applied to everything in the world.
Whether it was garbage, objects, or worries, all things and emotions were because of the existence of humans. Without humans, these things would have no meaning to humans.
Therefore, everything good and bad, painful and happy, existing and non-existing, real and fictional, two-dimensional and three-dimensional, reality and memory, all had meaning because of humans. It was the emergence of humans that caused these things to appear. Perhaps one day when humans perished, Yuan Kou would also disappear with them.
Of course, the above arguments were too idealistic. Even philosophers would have a headache thinking about it.
Even the ancestors of religions like Sakyamuni, Jesus Christ, and Laozi couldn't find the answer to this question, let alone a guy like Guhan who wasn't very smart.
But going back to the Malu Palace itself, Guhan could say with certainty that the leaves in the middle of the road weren't garbage. The real garbage was the dust that fell from Guhan's body.
Before Guhan stepped on the road, the road was actually absolutely clean, but once Guhan stepped on the road, the road became dirty.
Therefore, what Guhan needed to clean up wasn't the leaves in the middle of the road, but the dandruff that he left on the road.
"It seems that if I want to pass through the Malu Palace, I have to clean up the garbage I left behind!" Guhan thought, and then tried to test his idea.
I don't know if you have experienced this before, but mopping the floor in the hotel lobby is a very skillful thing to do.
This was because dirty shoes stepping on the wet tiles would inevitably leave a black footprint.
Under normal circumstances, the kind of mopping the floor while walking forward would never be able to clean the ground, and it would only leave original black footprints.
At this time, it was necessary to mop the floor upside down. While retreating, he used the mop to clean the footprints on the tiles.
This was also what Guhan was doing now. After Guhan took two steps forward, he immediately turned around and tried to clean up the dust and dandruff left by the previous step … At this time, ordinary brooms completely lost their function, because brooms could never clean the dust on the ground.
Guhan tried to use his sword energy to clean the ground. The sword energy rolled up the dust he had left on the road before, and then condensed the dust into a small ball, which Guhan threw directly into the garbage basket.
He leaned over and looked at the place he had just stepped on. As expected, it was as white as new, and not even a trace of dust could be seen.
Guhan's toes touched the ground, and his whole body flew into the air, and then appeared at the other end of the road at a lightning speed … At the same time that Guhan successfully flew up, hundreds of sword energies shot out of Guhan's body and gathered into the shape of a chrysanthemum in the air.
"Sword Linyuan · Linyuan Cyclone!"
[Lin Yuan Cyclone] was not a new skill developed by Gu Han, but a variant of [Lin Yuan Golden Chrysanthemum]. In essence, it was a variant of [Sword in the Abyss], which was a flexible use of sword energy.
The super large cyclone formed by Linyuan Cyclone covered the entire road. The dust and all kinds of stolen goods left behind by Guhan's flight did not fall to the ground, and were rolled up by Linyuan Cyclone.
Finally, the Linyuan cyclone swept across the ground like a sieve, rolling up all the dust left on the ground.
Just like before, the dust was condensed into a small ball and thrown into the garbage basket.
It was worth mentioning that throughout the process, Linyuan Cyclone did not touch the leaf at all. Obviously, Guhan's control of sword energy had reached a superb level. This was something that Guhan could not do before the special training.
This meant that the creation of the "Chaos Sword Technique" not only improved the "Chaos Sword Technique", but it also improved the "Nine Swords of Mysterious Heaven", a sword technique that was trained to the extreme.
The truth was just as Guhan had guessed. When Guhan finished all this, the exit door of the road palace, which was originally closed, suddenly opened. The road to the eighth palace, Yangguang Palace, was finally open, and Guhan became the fifth sword-bearer to pass through Yangguang Palace.
"So tired!"
Although the exit door had opened, Guhan did not immediately go to the exit. Instead, he stood in place and did not move.
Suddenly, Guhan's body trembled violently as if he had been electrocuted, and his whole body collapsed to the ground.
"So tired!"
This was the second time Guhan had said the word "tired" … Guhan was a person who rarely said that he was tired, but when he repeated the word twice, it meant that Guhan was really very tired.
The reason why Guhan was tired was very simple. He had used up at least 90% of his strength.
Although Guhan's movements were smooth and extraordinary, it looked as if he was eating or drinking.
But in reality, apart from using the Green Lotus White Root Body, Guhan had used all his strength and skills in it. At the same time, he maintained a state of high concentration and exhaustion.
Gu Han controlled over a hundred strands of Sword Qi at the same time, and each strand of Sword Qi had over a hundred different variations. Between the two, there were over ten thousand details that Gu Han had to control.
Only in this way could the cyclone formed by the sword Qi sweep up every single speck of dust on the ground and fuse it into a small dust ball. The difficulty of this could be imagined, and the amount of stamina, spirit, swordsmanship, techniques, and so on could be imagined.
It could be said that right now, Guhan's body had been emptied. Even if he drank thousands of bottles of Huiren Kidney Treasure, it would not be able to make up for what Guhan had used.
All in all, the Sword of the Abyss cyclone had used more than 90% of Guhan's strength, but at the same time, it had used up more than 90% of Guhan's strength. Now, if he wanted to make Guhan attack again, it would be impossible without resting for ten to twenty minutes.
"Before, I thought that the sword-bearers of this era were nothing great. The Cardinal Sword Spirit was stuck in the eighth palace and could not advance at all.
Now it seems that I, Guhan, was very wrong. Since this Cardinal Sword Spirit could pass the test of the Maluo Palace, then it has at least 90% of my strength.
Maybe its strength is even higher than mine. As expected, none of the sword-bearers who can become emperors in the future can be underestimated! "
Gu Han, who was sitting on the ground and panting heavily, thought to himself in shame. During this period of time, following the rapid improvement of his Chaos Sword Technique, Gu Han felt a little smug. He did not even take the Cardinal Sword Emperor, who was an Emperor Sword level sword wielder in history, seriously. He was really too arrogant.
On the one hand, he felt guilty about the Cardinal Sword Spirit. On the other hand, for the first time, Guhan was worried about the road ahead.
Although the previous tests were very difficult, in reality, Guhan did not even use a quarter of his strength. In other words, he had completely exploded his willpower at the Red Rabbit Palace. He still hid a lot of his true strength.
So, although there were still six palaces that he had not passed, Guhan was still very confident. He felt that he could easily pass the later levels, so he did not care about the later palaces.
But after using all of his strength to pass the Road Palace, Guhan realized that he was wrong.
As the seventh palace, the Road Palace's difficulty had suddenly increased to such a level. If the eighth palace's test increased by an insane amount, then Guhan felt that he could happily type GG and see if committing suicide could force him out of the Instance Dungeon.
…
"Sword Fairy Scarlet should have failed and turned back!"
Guhan thought to himself. With the difficulty of the Road Palace, Sword Fairy Scarlet definitely could not pass it.
After sitting on the ground and resting for about ten minutes, when he felt that his strength had recovered by half, Guhan slowly stood up and walked firmly and heavily towards the eighth palace, Yang Guang Palace.
Looking at the pair of goat horns on top of the Yang Guang Palace from afar, Guhan felt a faint trace of fear … but at the same time, Guhan's body and emotions started to become excited.
This was the excitement of an unknown challenge. At the same time, it was the excitement of being afraid. Fear and difficulty not only meant failure, it also meant that Guhan could find a way to improve and train himself.
Truly powerful men were like this. When faced with a challenge, they would feel afraid. When they were afraid, they would become even more excited.
