How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 281: The Mysterious Background of Feng Ji

Hu Fu said, "Yes, when I entered Kun Cang that day, my first choice was Xiaoyao Palace. Fortunately, Master favored me, so I abandoned Xiaoyao and entered the Three Buddha Temple... If I had chosen Xiaoyao Palace, what would have happened today?"

The nun smiled, "If Senior Brother had been in Xiaoyao Palace yesterday, facing the pressure of the array, maybe you would have directly sparked your Bodhi bloodline, the formation would have shattered on the spot, and the outcome would be completely different!"

Hu Fu laughed heartily, "So, my not joining Xiaoyao was Xiaoyao Palace’s misfortune?"

"Definitely!"

"Or, in another way, my joining the Three Buddha Temple was your great fortune? Since then, your Empty Gate is never empty at night?" Hu Fu reached out and grabbed something from the nun in front of him.

The nun blushed, a glint flickered in her eyes, and for a moment, the meditation room no longer felt like a meditation room.

Kun Cang was actually not big.

Information spread overnight, crossing mountains and ridges, reaching the far west.

In the west, there was a valley, Shenghua Valley.

It was full of red flowers and green leaves, with fruits and fragrances lasting throughout the year.

The wind here seemed to soften by three points, and the leaves falling seemed to hesitate.

At the peak of Shenghua Valley, an enormous old willow tree tangled its roots, swaying like a giant umbrella in the sky.

Under the old willow, Hua Miaoyi held a white jade cup, frozen in an elegant and graceful pose under the spring breeze.

Beside her, an elder with white hair and beard stood.

The news from the outside was reported to Hua Miaoyi by this Great Elder in person.

It was originally an ordinary message, not worthy of the Great Elder’s personal report, but this news was too explosive.

Hua Miaoyi’s face remained calm upon hearing it, but the tea cup in her hand slightly rippled, indicating that she wasn’t completely tranquil inside.

"Lord!" the Great Elder said, "The affairs of the world are like the wings of a butterfly. A single flap can stir great changes in Kun Cang... What will be the consequences of Feng Ji’s flap this time?"

Others might only focus on Lin Xiaosu’s Array Path.

But in Shenghua Valley, the point of interest was completely different.

Because what Shenghua Valley knew, others did not.

Others did not know Lin Xiaosu’s Array Path, but they knew, because Shenghua Valley’s Immortal Locking Array was broken by Lin Xiaosu (although Lin Xiaosu did not reveal his name at that time, after unlocking the array, Shenghua Valley naturally investigated and eventually found out who the young man was).

Others did not know who the Demon-faced Witch beside Lin Xiaosu was.

But they knew.

Feng Ji!

Feng Ji of Shenghua Valley!

Feng Ji left the valley originally to perfect her Sword Dao, but now she became the wings of the butterfly that incited a great upheaval in Kun Cang.

Because of her sudden appearance, Lin Xiaosu escaped the absolute kill of the three Great Elders of Xiaoyao Palace.

This means that if it weren’t for her, Lin Xiaosu would have died by Chunshui Lake, and none of the subsequent events would have occurred.

Thus, although the great upheaval was caused by Lin Xiaosu, Feng Ji played a crucial role at the most critical moment.

The Great Elder could foresee the boundless implications of this storm.

He felt deeply uneasy about the butterfly wings flapped by the disciple of Shenghua Valley.

Hua Miaoyi brought the cup of tea to her lips, took a gentle sip: "The storm sweeps through the sky, I sail my boat across the seas and rivers! No worries!"

The Great Elder’s white beard trembled: "Lord, this matter is no ordinary storm, Three Buddha Temple, Yin Yang Temple, and Luanyun Heaven, the three great upper sects, are deeply agitated... I believe we should immediately recall Feng Ji, if her identity is exposed, there will be endless chaos in Shenghua Valley."

"Impossible!" Hua Miaoyi said, "Feng Ji’s cultivation has been stagnant for three hundred years due to her sect loyalty. Now it has just restarted. How can our valley cut off her road for fear of unforeseen disaster?"

The Great Elder frowned: "Feng Ji’s cultivation stopped due to loyalty to the sect, what do you mean by this...?"

Hua Miaoyi smiled lightly: "In the eyes of the Great Elder, is it that I have deep feelings and loyalty towards Feng Ji?"

"Of course, when you unearthed her from the ground, she was just bones. You used a century of your own cultivation to revive her. How is that not great loyalty and kindness? It is no ordinary kindness, it is rebirthing grace!"

Hua Miaoyi gently shook her head: "You are wrong! To her, I brought no grace, but harm! Her bones were not entirely dead, it was I who accidentally hindered her cultivation. She could have massacred thousands in Shenghua Valley to replenish her vitality, but she appreciated the bond with her fellow disciples and refrained from killing even one person in three hundred years, leading to her stagnated cultivation. This loyalty, the disciples may not know, but you and I must know!"

The Great Elder’s face changed completely: "Alive as bones... killing to benefit oneself... This... is this the legendary ’Immortal Scripture’? Who is she really?"

"Even I do not know her origins, she has forgotten too... Great Elder, let’s not dwell on it, she has formed a good bond with our valley and remains a disciple, no matter how others see her, we should only support, not hinder her!"

...

The storm swept the sky.

Kun Cang was in turmoil.

But in Li Ren Valley, it remained calm.

Lin Xiaosu sat cross-legged on a rock, the sun had crossed the sky above him thirty times.

Another sunset!

Lin Xiaosu slowly opened his eyes.

In his eyes, it seemed sword light intertwined.

For a whole month, his Human Tao Orchid Heart focused on one thing.

Sword Dao!

Li Ren Swordsmanship.

Clang!

The long sword on his knee, drawn!

The sword drew and sheathed!

A sharp sword light cut through the stone wall in front.

No one saw where the sword came from.

No one could block its edge.

The sword’s path was completely unpredictable.

This was the first form of Li Ren Swordsmanship: Separation!

With a light crack, a piece of stone fell from the wall in front.

This was the power of Separation, even stone could be cut.

Lin Xiaosu’s sword stood upright.

That upright sword felt like lifting a giant mountain.

The sword fell!

It struck the falling boulder in the air.

A tremendous boom.

The boulder turned to dust!

This strike was even stranger.

Clearly a sharp sword, now it seemed like a thunderous hammer!

Its strange power completely defied conventional Sword Dao.

Because it was the second form of Li Ren Swordsmanship: Severing Emotion.

Under another mountain peak, Feng Ji’s eyes suddenly opened, and with a flash, she appeared beside Lin Xiaosu, seeing the sword in his hand...

This sword, unrivaled in grace and elegance.

She had never seen such beautiful swordsmanship.

This...

Why was this sword so beautiful?

However, Lin Xiaosu’s sword seemed only beautiful and elegant in form but lacked any real effect.

Lin Xiaosu sheathed the sword, his eyes a bit bewildered.

Maybe bewildered by the emptiness of the third form of Li Ren Swordsmanship "Li Ren Tears".

Maybe by something else: the change in his Blood Tower!

As the sword move concluded, the drop that had hung and trembled in his Blood Tower for a month, fell!

The drop fell, rose into the sky, becoming a star over the Blood Tower.

This was the first step from the Observing Earth Realm to the Observing Heaven Realm.

When nine stars shone, he would be in Observing Heaven Realm.

He was just at the first star, but this was a rare cultivation speed, as it usually took twenty years to a century or even more to go from Observing Earth to Observing Heaven, and he broke through to the first "Heavenly Star" in just a few months.

A voice from behind: "Was that just now Li Ren Swordsmanship?"

It was Feng Ji’s voice.

Lin Xiaosu opened his eyes, nodded lightly: "Yes!"

"This sword, defying conventional Sword Dao, holds profound sword truth hidden within graceful moves. The creator of this sword must be a genius!" Feng Ji said, "But with your current cultivation, you cannot wield it properly."

"Indeed, this sword needs to reach the Observing Heaven Realm to convert True Qi to Sword Qi," Lin Xiaosu said.

This was the true secret of the third form.

This sword move doesn’t win by form but with the power to tear everything apart through Sword Qi.

Without Sword Qi, it was nothing.

He was just in the early stage of Observing Earth.

His True Qi couldn’t be converted to external Sword Qi, making Li Ren Tears a mere show.

"Good that you know!" Feng Ji said, "This place with its cross winds of Sword Qi is a holy land for Jian practice, but staying too long can damage your foundation. It’s time to leave the valley."

"Alright!"

"Don’t be too discouraged, the path of Jian is a lifelong journey, no one can achieve anything significant in just a month. When you break through to Observing Heaven, just this one sword can suppress the elites of your generation!" Feng Ji smiled, "Also, if you don’t mind me saying, this sword, wielded by you, will probably charm many women."

Discouraged?

Which eye did you see me discouraged?

I am excited like a monkey right now!

Though Li Ren Tears was just a show, you came a bit late and didn’t know I actually mastered the two most useful swords for now.

Lin Xiaosu didn’t brag to Feng Ji, just looked at her slightly differently: "This sword can charm many women, what about you? Senior, don’t you think your junior is very handsome and charming?"

Feng Ji glanced at him: "Oh my gosh... I really had foresight, reminding you early to not think too much."

They walked towards the valley entrance.

Ahead was the bronze gate.

Several disciples were guarding it, they saluted as they left, "Young Master Lin, Miss, are you leaving the valley?"

"Yes, where is Miss Lu now?"

"The Holy Daughter should be at the main hall of Li Ren Palace."

Holy Daughter?

Lin Xiaosu asked, "She’s become the Holy Daughter?"

"Yes, the Li Palace is established, Miss is the Holy Daughter, and the Fourth Young Master is the Saint Heir. All top elders are in place."

The Fourth Young Master was Lu Rufeng.

He was the youngest, with three elder brothers.

However, during a century-long escape, all three elder brothers perished, leaving him as the only surviving member.

Exiting the bronze ruins, the scene before their eyes changed greatly.

The previous ruins and debris were replaced by neat and tidy constructions.

During a month in Li Ren Valley, the Li Palace had begun their road of establishment.

Holy Daughter and Saint Heir in place.

Top elders in place.

Various buildings restored.

Xiaoyao Peak became the main peak of Li Palace.
