Chapter 78: Black Silk Slightly Raised, Jade Face Stained with Rosy Hues! Azure Lotus Sword Song's Third Form — Formless Wind (Thanks to Alliance Leader K)
Qian Renxue gracefully descended into the Wind Eye.
The light sword cut a holy arc, like the first bloom of dawn.
Li Dixian's smile deepened.
The sword's momentum suddenly changed, its sharpness completely reined in, transforming into a gentle, coiling breeze.
Clink—
The tips of the two swords lightly touched, emitting the clear sound of a jade chime.
The essence of wind, like blue silk, entwined the light sword; the holy radiance, like golden brocade, reflected the wind's traces.
Blue-gold flowing light danced together in an instant, weaving a splendid ribbon in the mountain hollow's Wind Eye.
The two danced together!
Li Dixian's figure flowed, like drifting wind and returning snow.
Wherever his sword pointed, the wind would condense into a silk ribbon, circling him and Qian Renxue as they danced lightly.
His eyes were bound with black silk.
His mind had merged with the rhythm of the wind.
The feeling of "unrestrained and free-spirited" became perfectly clear and harmonious during their dance.
Li Dixian grabbed the wandering spirit wind extract with his left hand and took a large gulp.
The clear essence of wind spirit permeated his body.
His sleeves billowed, as if he was about to ride the wind away.
"Qian Renxue, catch!"
He casually tossed it.
The jade flask arced, falling directly to Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue's eyes flowed, her light sword in hand never stopping, her slender hand reached out lightly, and she steadily caught it.
She tilted her fair, swan-like neck, and the nectar flowed into her red lips.
In an instant.
Her golden hair flew, her skirt fluttered.
Feathers, condensed from bright soul power, drifted down from all around her.
And the next second.
These light feathers were swept up by Li Dixian's wind.
Together with the wind-condensed ribbons, they swirled around the two of them.
This scene.
Was truly as beautiful as a dream and as illusory as a fantasy.
The two exchanged a knowing smile, but their sword momentum suddenly quickened.
Wind and light intertwined and danced.
Sometimes soaring upwards, like a pair of phoenixes singing in harmony;
Sometimes circling and turning gracefully, like twin flowers blooming.
The fierce winds all transformed into gentle, coiling breezes, the strong gales became soft whispers, making the sword dance in the Wind Eye even more ethereal and enchanting.
Dancing to the extreme, their hearts were in perfect sync.
Li Dixian spun around, drawing a circle.
Qian Renxue's light sword followed like a shadow.
The two swords simultaneously touched one spot.
Zheng—!
A celestial clear chime.
In an instant, all sounds ceased.
Sleeves froze, light and wind became still.
Their figures leaned gracefully against each other, sword tips gently touching.
Li Dixian's black silk was slightly raised, Qian Renxue's jade face was stained with rosy hues.
A single sword touch!
Like the opening of heaven's light!
Li Dixian's heart lake was as clear as a mirror!
The sword of wind intent, finally reached perfection!
"The sword is not bound by form, the wind is inherently formless..."
Li Dixian's Azure Lotus Sword, touching the light sword, suddenly spun and guided.
His movement was ethereal, like wind brushing willow branches.
A blue sword qi detached from the Azure Lotus Sword.
Silently merging into the flowing wind of the mountain hollow.
It meandered ethereally, moving with the wind, brushing past the jagged rock walls.
Silently, on the cliff face, a sword mark quietly appeared.
This sword mark was smooth and natural.
Like a climbing vine, like a stream passing through a crevice.
It perfectly fit the rock's texture, extending the original trajectory of the wind.
Qian Renxue gazed at the sword mark, her eyes shining with brilliance.
This sword, unrestrained and formless, had reached perfection, merging with nature.
Li Dixian stood with his sword sheathed, the black silk beneath his eyes no longer just a covering.
Seventy-two wisps of airflow entered his ear canals, and the world became incredibly clear in his perception.
The mountain wind gently brushed past.
As if congratulating the birth of a new sword.
Li Dixian raised his hand, and the fierce winds docilely wrapped around his fingers and palm.
"Azure Lotus Sword Song's Third Form — Formless Wind, is complete."
Qian Renxue took light lotus steps.
She handed the wandering spirit wind extract back to Li Dixian, a beautiful smile blooming on her lips.
"Congratulations, this sword move is finally complete."
Above the mountain hollow.
Feng Bailong, startled awake, sensed Li Dixian's sword mark, which perfectly merged with the wind's intent, and a profound look of shock appeared on his weather-beaten face.
He had listened to the wind with bound eyes for many years.
He prided himself on having tempered his mind to be as still as an ancient well.
But Li Dixian had utterly astonished him.
How many days had passed?
This child had actually comprehended the sword intent of wind?!
"Such sword dao talent..."
"Truly terrifying and unparalleled!"
The next morning.
The disciples of Wind Sword Sect, during their morning practice, quickly noticed something.
—Li Dixian did not go to the forbidden Wind Eye today.
The disciples exchanged glances.
They already had a faint suspicion in their hearts.
But due to Feng Buyu's presence, no one dared to speculate further.
A few disciples exchanged glances, and finally pushed one person forward to ask Feng Buyu, who was practicing his sword:
"Brother Buyu..."
"Why didn't Li Dixian go to the Wind Eye today?"
"Hmm?"
Feng Buyu looked up.
He gazed towards the path leading to Li Dixian's residence.
Indeed, the figure that appeared every morning was not there.
He frowned.
Recalling the excruciating pain, like skinning and boning, from his visit to the Wind Eye to listen to the wind yesterday, his body still trembled at the thought.
And Li Dixian had endured it from morning till night for several days now.
"Brother Zhe Xian must have reached his limit too..."
Feng Buyu glanced at the surrounding disciples and said in a deep voice:
"If we were even a tenth as diligent as Brother Zhe Xian, our sword skills would surely improve by thirty percent!"
"Mind your own business, and hurry up and practice your swords!"
As his voice fell.
A disciple suddenly pointed towards the end of the winding bluestone path.
"Brother Buyu, it's Li Dixian!"
Feng Buyu and the others quickly looked in the direction.
Indeed.
At the end of the path.
The white-robed young man and the stunning young woman walked side by side.
He had comprehended the sword until dawn last night.
So Li Dixian woke up a bit late today.
Without going to the forbidden Wind Eye again, he and Qian Renxue went directly to the Wind-Eroded Sword Stele Forest.
Feng Buyu led the disciples to greet them.
He scrutinized Li Dixian from head to toe, and couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Zhe Xian, today... you're not going to the Wind Eye?"
Li Dixian smiled and shook his head:
"No, I'm not."
"Indeed... even Brother Zhe Xian..."
Feng Buyu sighed inwardly, once again despairing at the difficulty of comprehending the sword in the Wind Eye, and spoke to comfort him:
"Brother Zhe Xian, there's no need to mind."
"Comprehending the sword in the Wind Eye is not an overnight achievement."
"The fact that you could persevere day and night for several days is already extremely impressive."
"Stay in Wind Sword Sect for a while longer, and you will surely achieve your wish and comprehend the sword intent of wind."
Li Dixian smiled, but said nothing more.
He looked up at the twenty-meter-high, wind-eroded rock pillar in front of him, which required several people to encircle, and asked:
"Brother Buyu, you once said that these rock pillars can test the power of sword moves?"
Feng Buyu was slightly startled.
"That is true, however..."
"These wind-eroded rock pillars, due to their special material and years of tempering by fierce winds..."
"Are most accurate in sensing the power of wind-attribute sword moves."
"Brother Zhe Xian, you..."
Li Dixian's eyes lit up.
"That's perfect!"
"I just wanted to try... the wind sword move I newly comprehended last night."
As soon as these words came out.
Feng Buyu and the disciples' eyes widened.
A wind sword move newly comprehended last night?!
This... this... could it be that Li Dixian's sword intent of wind... is complete?!
Feng Buyu felt his tongue stiffen, and his voice changed pitch.
"Brother Zhe Xian, you... you comprehended the sword?!"
Li Dixian smiled and nodded.
The entire Wind-Eroded Sword Stele Forest was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Incredulous gazes were fixed on Li Dixian.
This news swept through the entire Wind Sword Sect.
Three hundred disciples and more than ten elders all flocked to the Wind-Eroded Sword Stele Forest.
At this moment.
A wisp of clear wind suddenly brushed past.
Accompanied by a mysterious clear chime, Feng Bailong, in a gray robe, also arrived gracefully.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
Feng Bailong lightly flicked his sleeve.
A gentle gust of wind supported everyone's bodies.
His eyes, bound with black silk, looked at Li Dixian, a smile appearing on his face.
"Congratulations, Little Friend Dixian, on the completion of your sword intent."
"This old man will wait and see... how sharp this newly comprehended sword of yours is."
