Chapter 881: Chapter 880 Qingkong Inheritance 1
For Hou Niao, this battle, it’s hard to say what kind of exhaustion it caused to Lou Yiren. In his own view, he fears that it didn’t even serve the purpose of a warm-up, which made him very disappointed in himself.
But this should be the reality of the cultivation world. Expecting a realm where spiritual energy has revived for no more than two thousand years, with incomplete skill inheritance and flawed domains, to cultivate a sword cultivator who can traverse the universe, such a scenario can only be found in storybooks. It is impossible in reality.
There are still so many things for him to learn, to improve himself comprehensively, using the most complete and profound system.
… A sound of sword whistle, Yue Duo moved.
Completely different from his previous spar with her, his eyes couldn’t even keep up with Yue Duo’s movements. In an instant, he felt that the senior sister’s figure was everywhere in the sky and yet, seemingly nowhere.
He could not predict where Yue Duo would appear next at all; she could appear anytime, anywhere. Such vertical escape even his mind couldn’t catch up!
Hundreds of flying swords filled the sky, swirling up an iron torrent, ebbing and flowing, surging to and fro.
Sometimes attacking in pincer formation, sometimes forming a three-talents array, sometimes scattering like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, sometimes merging into one for a thunder strike!
The sword whistle in the sky was like a tide, continuous and unending, surrounding only one person in the center.
His expression while fighting was completely different, Lou Yiren looked serious, not daring to be careless in the slightest, storing hidden treasures between his chest and abdomen, his every move felt as if carrying a great mountain.
One moved without a trace, one was as solid as a mountain, transforming movement and stillness to the extremity.
The sword was like a dragon with nowhere to hide, the force was like a mountain topping the tide.
Hou Niao saw for the first time a battle among visitors from the Upper Realm, and only after watching it did he realize how laughable his battles with them were, how fortunate it was to kill Ran Dao Realm’s Bao Xishan.
Senior Sister Yue Duo didn’t even exert herself fully in their previous sword spar; if she truly went all out, he really might not even last ten breaths. During the battle of summoning in Jinxiu, she saying ten breaths limit wasn’t exaggerated at all, just a fact.
He could even guess that when Wei Yi came to trouble him, he also didn’t exert himself fully, just pretending to sympathize purely to build a connection, and that Blood River Gu Zai was half-true, half-false too.
Completely holding back was impossible, the gap between them wasn’t wide enough for one to act freely, but not using their true skills was certain.
He even started to wonder if his fight with Zhi Xuan Daoist was the same? Did he really manage to escape from this person relying on his own ability?
These guys, each hiding deeply…
In the battle arena, the light and shadow were chaotic, sword qi crisscrossed, the force was like a mountain. After an earth-shattering explosion, Lou Yiren’s voice came,
“Qingkong Sword Vein, lives up to its reputation, today was satisfying, we shall meet again another day.”
The duel ended. Hou Niao saw clearly, Lou Yiren lost by half a move, but didn’t fight to the death, took advantage of the situation and would leave it for later.
He left decisively, leaving Yue Duo there with some regret. This guy was very shrewd, the battle between them wasn’t an issue of half a move, continuing further would mean someone would bleed, knowing the flaws were noticed was the real reason Lou Yiren withdrew.
The heir of the force, it was also her first encounter, whether in Foundation Establishment or now Golden Core, they hadn’t the ability to witness these legendary top Daoists, so they cherished the current opportunity, often sending out invitations in writing, others often seeking her, she often sought them, all with the same meaning.
The different legendary Daoists gathered together, it was a rare opportunity, no one was willing to miss it.
Looking at Hou Niao behind her, her face relaxed somewhat, still not bad. Even though he came a bit late, he eventually took this step, it wasn’t in vain that she gave out Qingkong Sword Vein’s most precious Sword Light Division Skill.
“Any thoughts?”
Hou Niao pondered, “It seems the essence of Qingkong swordsmanship lies in the word ‘vertical’?”
Yue Duo smiled, “Understanding this, you still have some insight! Without ‘vertical,’ there’s no flying sword. No matter what realm, this is the most important core of swordsmanship. In comparison, your current sword is not ‘vertical,’ but crawling, so it’s fought with difficulty, restricted everywhere.”
Hou Niao humbly accepted the advice, some things cannot just be understood through scrolls, only personal experience can teach the true meaning within; Shan Sect’s Quanzhen also talked about the Ascending Sword, but not to the extreme extent of Qingkong Sword Vein.
Swordsmanship was inherently an extreme Daoist.
“Where on earth did this Lou Yiren come from? Could it be…”
Yue Duo snorted, “The stinkier the meat, the more flies there will be…”
She might also feel her metaphor was inappropriate, Jinxiu is rotten meat, she herself is a fly? This sentence cursed both of them.
“When it comes to scent, no one can match cultivators. No matter how far the distance, they can rush over; now the Hell Star is lively, everywhere in the universe is squeezing in here, committing some crimes, then being thrown into prison.”
Hou Niao asked curiously: “Isn’t it said that innate spiritual treasures have their own rules? You see, even the Anchor Chain people dare not act recklessly.”
Yue Duo pursed her lips, “That’s because the Anchor Chain star system is not competitive! There are plenty of innate spiritual treasures in this universe, and there are quite a few demi immortals on the same level as innate spiritual treasures. It can refuse the Anchor Chain, but it cannot refuse other equivalent existences’ reasonable requests. The only thing that can be adhered to is that only one can come from one family, which is a universally accepted method. Otherwise, your Jinxiu would become the land of all worlds in an instant, leaving no chance for growth and prosperity?”
Hou Niao shrugged, “Really has become a place following a stench, so even the Anchor Chain no longer calls to fight and kill, you people also don’t cleanse each island, it turns out to be an endless task, so you resort to Buddhist chanting.”
“People who chant Buddhist scriptures are worse!” Yue Duo said unceremoniously, “A simple ‘Jinxiu is destined for me’ and even the continent is theirs!”
Hou Niao laughed, “Senior sister, after talking for so long, just what is this Nineteenth Continent’s innate spiritual treasure? Have you found it after searching for so long?”
Yue Duo shook her head gloomily, “If it doesn’t want us to find it, we will never find it! Unless I can reach the realm of a demi immortal. As for what kind of innate spiritual treasure it is, it should be a pill furnace, called the Medicine King Furnace,
Before I came, I heard from the elders in the sect, also for convenience next time; this Hell Star is real, but it is just an embedded deserted star, only later to be encircled by the Medicine King Furnace. These ten or so large and small island lands are the waste pills left behind when the Medicine King Furnace was originally in the Immortal World, so the Medicine King Furnace is the true master of Hell Star, those Unihorn Clan people just somehow acquired some medicine attendants, you can also understand the entire Hell Star as the Medicine King Furnace, it’s all the same.”
Hou Niao listened on the side, dumbfounded, such a grand background, it was once a supreme treasure of the Immortal World,
“This Medicine King Furnace is really strange, why does it revolve around the Jinxiu Earth incessantly?”
