Rebirth Of The Supreme Celestial Being (201-400)

315- Anomaly of Heaven and Earth

He didn’t know whether or not Esteemed Lan Yue knew this.

Lin Xuanzhi thought that Esteemed Lan Yue probably wasn’t aware of this.

Otherwise, he would never have left Bei Shitian alone for the time being.

Lin Xuanzhi stroked Lianlian’s hilt with his fingers and soothed Lianlian, which was constantly trying to unsheath itself and fight because it had tasted blood.

There was a sense of mutual understanding between sword cultivators and swords that nobody else could feel. When swords and sword cultivators could achieve a tacit understanding and were able to mutually understand each other’s thoughts, then this would be the realm of unity between man and sword.

However, Lin Xuanzhi had never reached this point thus far.

But that didn’t prevent him from sensing Lianlian’s thirst for slaughter, as well as its grief, indignation, and helplessness from Lin Xuanzhi’s suppression.

Lin Xuanzhi felt that he should have a chat with Bei Shitian or Bei Cangmo some time.

Raging winds and somber, desolate ice still devastated Fierce Gale Cliff. People felt their legs go soft when standing outside the cave entrance.

Lin Xuanzhi had never spent an entire night at Fierce Gale Cliff before. He didn’t know what Fierce Gale Cliff would look like at night.

Lin Xuanzhi held the sword as he slowly entered.

Fierce Gale Cliff and the outside world were connected by a cave entrance. He pressed the hidden mechanism underneath the cliff and directly closed the entrance, completely isolating himself from the outside world.

Lin Xuanzhi listened to the wind that wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves. He drew his sword, flew up, and spun like a quick crane dancing amongst the withered leaves and crushed stones. His sword technique was refined and elegant without any unnecessary movements. He strove to make every move with precision, and every move had to be brought out to its fullest potential.

He wouldn’t waste any chance to draw his sword. He had always practiced his sword like this — either he didn’t practice at all or practiced with no distractions and with all his heart.

His spiritual Qi circulated around in his body, and soon it made an entire round. His Dantian emitted faint heat, and the faintly visible spiritual root inside became clearer.

Wind spiritual root.

This was Lin Xuanzhi’s natural spiritual root, which was also the most suitable one for practicing the sword.

Like the graceful wind — everywhere and everchanging; at times soft and flexible while at times violent and wild.

Lin Xuanzhi suddenly felt a certain comprehension. When the sky and the earth changed colors amidst the flying sands and rock shards, he closed his pair of clear eyes.

Hearing with the ear and sensing with the body. Not all things in the world needed to be seen with the eyes, as they’ve already entered into his heart.

Lin Xuanzhi’s sword danced faster and faster, and the spiritual Qi in his body became more and more frenzied. The first three styles of《Teal Lotus Nine Styles》in his hand also became more and more natural, flowing more smoothly. Just as the shadow of the sword rose here and before it even landed over there, looking from a distance, the afterimages of the sword’s shadows actually resembled blossoming lotus petals when connected together.

Boom — A single slash broke through the dome of heaven.

A blazing lotus mark was faintly discernible between Lin Xuanzhi’s eyebrows. His Dantian seemed to be bursting with spiritual Qi. The spiritual platform was clear and bright. He seemed to “see” a cultivator’s teal shadow dancing out a set of sword techniques. A secret manual appeared beside the shadow with《Teal Lotus Nine Styles》written on it.
