In the era of double sculpture, wujie has always been the ceiling figure of wulin. The five absolutes are divided into the old five and the new five. The Old Five Absolutes are the Eastern Evil, Western Poison, Southern Emperor, Northern Qi, and ZhongshenTong decided by the early Huashan One Theory of the Archery Eagle; the New Five Absolutes are the Eastern Evil, Western Madness, Southern Monk, Northern Hero, and Middle Naughty Boy decided by the Three Theories of Mount Hua at the end of the Divine Eagle.
The first Huashan Discourse Sword and the third Huashan Discourse Sword were separated by about 60 years, so the strength of the Old Five Absolutes and the New Five Absolutes could not be the same, after all, the masters had to continue to improve and improve, and it was impossible to stand still.
So the question is, how big is the gap between the old and the new?
This question cannot be answered at first glance, but in fact, there are some details in the original book that can be explained a little. For example, in the divine sculpture, Huang Yaoshi saw Yang Guo use internal force to make a long roaring sound, and he couldn't help but sigh that he only had this kind of cultivation after he was 30 years old. At that time, Yang Guo was also about 20 years old. It seems that the internal strength of Huang Yaoshi at the time of Huashan's discussion was no more than this.
However, these small details can only reflect a certain aspect after all, and cannot summarize all of them. So today we may wish to borrow one thing to compare the strength of the new and old five.
Such a thing is the Nine Yin True Scriptures.
Let's put it this way, the gap between the old and the new five is reflected in the fact that the Huashan One Theory is the Nine Yin True Scriptures as the ultimate goal, and when it comes to the Three Theories of Huashan, it has become the threshold for entry.
What do you mean by that?
The situation of Huashan's theory is easy to explain. Wang Chongyang invited the other four people to participate in this sword discussion, the purpose of which was to compete for the first place in the world and the ownership of the Nine Yin True Scriptures.
Since it is a contest for the Nine Yin True Scriptures, it shows that the people are eager for such things and respect them as gods. They all know that such a thing can bring a qualitative improvement to themselves. At the same time, it also showed that they were far from the realm of the Nine Yin True Scriptures at that time.
However, 60 years later, in the Three Treatises of Mount Hua, everyone talked and laughed at the top of Mount Hua, and never mentioned the matter of the Nine Yin True Scriptures. Because at this time, the Nine Yin True Scriptures are no longer scarce, nor are they robbed by the crowd, and the realm of the people at this time is actually not much different from the Nine Yin True Scriptures.
The most crucial thing is that everyone in the New Five Absolutes has received the gift of the Nine Yin True Scriptures in the past time, absorbed its nourishment, and made great progress.
Needless to say, Guo Jing and Zhou Botong had begun to practice Nine Yin very early, and they were also the most practiced among the people. Yi Deng had practiced the general outline, Yang had practiced some of the contents that Wang Chongyang had left in the ancient tomb, as for Huang Yaoshi, he had not practiced on the surface, but there was a sentence in the last time that the divine sculpture betrayed him- Huang Yaoshi had also studied the Nine Yin True Scriptures.
Therefore, at this time, the Nine Yin True Scriptures are no longer the ultimate goal, and have even become the threshold for entry. You must know that the Golden Wheel Guoshi and Qiu Qianling are actually five-level figures, but they do not have any intersection with the Nine Yin True Scriptures, so they cannot enter the threshold of the Three Theories of Mount Hua.
Let's take an image example. Huashan's theory is equivalent to the examination and research, everyone is fighting for a master's degree, and the Nine Yin True Classics are master's degrees. The three theories of Huashan are competing for the employment of university teachers, and in this position, the minimum degree requirement is a master's degree. At this time, these five people are already masters, so there is no problem in terms of degrees.
Therefore, the gap between the old and the new can be understood as the gap between several undergraduate students before the graduate school and several masters graduated from the graduate school. In this way, the trajectory of the improvement of the five absolutes is actually the same as many people in reality.
