Chapter 876: Chapter 875: Narrow Escape

Nine days and nights, the mysterious Yin cannot be resolved, and the world has no light. Inside the Guarantee Talisman, the Five Elements Yin Yang;

Feeling that Hou Niao’s Purple Mansion was no longer in any serious condition, the water fairy withdrew from the harmony, then looked at the Guarantee Talisman, it had been worn thin as a cicada’s wing, yet seemed even more transparent and spiritual… Can this talisman still be used?

Not long after, Hou Niao awoke from tranquility, knowing that he had walked around the Ghost Gate, and without this woman’s selfless rescue, he might have been destined to end his days on the Hell Star.

No words of gratitude, no apology, just a slight nod, “Are we even now?”

The water fairy smiled gracefully, “I still took advantage, so let’s consider it even.”

Cultivators are not mortal men and women; they won’t rashly pledge themselves or declare sovereignty for such things, it’s just a form of mutual assistance, that’s all.

The important thing is, neither of them will develop any heart realm entanglements because of who owes whom, Hou Niao needs a transparent sword heart, and the water fairy also requires no attachments.

The water fairy brushed her hair with her slender hand, “Be careful, the imbalance of the Five Elements with you is one point, and another is that the Mysterious Light exceeding its limit is also a reason, it always needs to be gradual, I’ll leave first, make sure to comprehend it closely.”

She didn’t need to speak too thoroughly, those who are wise can understand each other, who else could know better than he about where exactly he went wrong?

Hou Niao let out a breath, thus it is said that acts of kindness will always be rewarded, even if he considered himself entering the sword as a devil, he still cannot be truly unscrupulous.

Shui Zhen Dong was right, for the time being, before the Five Elements power is thoroughly balanced, it’s not good for him to spin the Five Elements Mysterious Light too fast, as for where the upper limit lies, it needs to be slowly experimented.

This situation will always accompany him until the Five Elements are completely balanced.

However, it’s not without a solution, now he finally understood why Ying Yuan Daoist wanted to use two discs spinning in opposite directions to cut the dividing technique, the reasoning is here.

If this is a solution, he should also initiate two wheels of Five Elements Mysterious Light, targeting the rotation in opposite directions, which probably can also balance the confusion of Five Elements inside the Purple Mansion.

Doing it on both fronts, strive to make up for the weaknesses in the Fire and Gold elements, while also visualizing a Five Elements Light Wheel, with double wheels rotating in opposite directions, complementing each other, to see where his limits lie?

This is a wake-up call, allowing him to rein in the brink on the path of cultivation, understanding a truth, no matter how anxious, never violate the objective laws of cultivation.

If he is careful enough, these could have been avoided, he is not completely ignorant of the Five Elements Barrier, this is a common sense issue in cultivation; but when the Sword Light Division had initial success, he got a bit carried away with excitement, this is a profound lesson.

He has patched up the shortcoming of the sword skill system once again, but no longer dares to boast that his swordsmanship is truly systematic. He used to think so quite a few times, but each time he was ruthlessly hit by reality, teaching him humility now.

It’s just patching up a piece, in the future more will appear, just patch them again; the so-called cultivation is the kind of progress made through patching here and there, until one day it can’t be patched anymore, and that will be the end.

Sword skill cultivation suddenly showed a glimmer of light, it’s just because of an unintended action from a Golden Core of Ying Yuan who really wanted to kill him, the marvel of cultivation is beyond words.

With this experience, he learned to be wise, with dual Five Elements Mysterious Light operating in opposite directions, as clumsy as he started, throughout the slow adaptation, it also formed a habit; time lengthening from short to long, controlled within his endurance, gradually he gets rid of the troubles from Five Elements Barrier, finally taking a crucial step.

A year later, the flying sword group initially formed a scale, able to issue twenty swords in a single breath, the first Sword Light Division resulted in forty swords, the second division eighty swords, the third… temporarily unable to divide.

This has already surpassed Master Hai’s division level, of course, in terms of individual sword power it’s still far inferior, it’s a realm magic power issue which can be gradually improved.

These are the most basic operations, what needs to be done is to issue the sword skillfully, skillfully divide the sword, once all of this can be done as desired, like an arm use finger, receiving or deploying at will, forming an instinct, then starts the flying sword group practice.

Eighty sword lights, each must achieve nuanced control, divide and integrate, various tactical strike effects; like a small army, the commander is the cultivator himself, reaching this step is considered a small success in Sword Light Division, able to fight.

Further down, Gathering Sword is tougher than Dividing Sword, which means suddenly merging eighty flying swords into one or several swords during attack, while having each perform its role, the operational difficulty is immensely challenging, posing a significant challenge to the spiritual power of cultivators, if able to easily gather swords, then in Sword Light Division it means entering the room.

Lastly, how to blend Great Dao Imagination into flying swords, this realm is relatively too early for a Golden Core, it’s the ultimate form of Sword Light Division, regarded as the great achievement, Hou Niao doesn’t think that far yet, for him mastering the first two is satisfactory, now he is just groping slowly in the small success stage, there’s a long road ahead in the future.

Practice makes perfect, that’s all.

The best training ground is the Trial Arena, since learning Sword Light Division, he no longer uses other methods during combat with others, battles drag on incredibly long, what originally could conclude in ten battles within a day could hurtle on for ten days with him, treating every anchor chain cultivator as a sword target, delighting in the process.

He thus became a very special existence within the anchor chain trial group, many knew that within the offenders on Hell Star, there was such a dilly-dallying sword cultivator, who fancied conjuring a bunch of flying swords flying to and fro in the sky…

Clumsy yet loves to play.

But early on, this time-consuming, even requiring other methods to aid victory, gradually shortened, implying something terrifying, just that each time it’s different trial practitioners confronting him, very few realized this ridiculous sword cultivator is progressing at a terrifying pace.

During the foundational stage, opportunities for honing one’s skills abounded for Qingkong sword cultivators like Yue Duo, he didn’t have enough time, but the honing in battle surpassed his own cultivation by tenfold or hundredfold.

He didn’t rush to increase the number of divided swords upwards, even if the long application of Sword Light Division led to considerable spiritual power progress, he believed rather than making flying swords many and intimidating, it’s better to step further at this level.

He hoped to accomplish Unification Sword within dividing a hundred paths.

Time flies swiftly through such cultivation, progressing daily, filling him with hope every day, tirelessly honing himself, hoping one day his efforts would earn Yue Duo’s recognition, allowing him to extract more from her.
