C2659 Shocking Sword
Just like the Sword Pavilion, the Immortal World's Sword Pavilion was located on a mountain. Moreover, it was different from the Ten Thousand Beginning Paradise. The Sword Pavilion was located on a bare mountain. There weren't any surrounding buildings like the Divine City.
In addition, the mountain that the Sword Pavilion was on was not as lofty and tall as the mountain from the Ten Thousand Beginning Paradise. It stood tall and lofty, and was mostly hidden by the cloud mist. Every rock, every mountain peak, and every pine tree that grew on the mountain could be clearly seen.
It was not just the mountain that was covered with vegetation. Even the shape of the mountain itself was extremely simple. The three sides were cliffs, smooth as a mirror, and could even reflect sunlight. Only one side of the mountain was slightly slackened. The three sides were smooth, the center slightly protruded, and then they gathered together towards the peak. This kind of mountain could be said to be more like a sword than a mountain.
And this simple, dust-free mountain was the sword pavilion that caused the expressions of countless people in the Immortal World to change. It was one of the five giants in the Immortal World! Qing Yizi, who was known as the number one cultivator in the Immortal World's sword dao, lived in this mountain.
But what made Lin Bai feel strange was that this mountain range that was like a sword was frighteningly quiet today. There was not a single sound coming from the huge mountain. It was as if there was a sword hidden in its scabbard.
Could something big have happened in the Sword Pavilion? As he gazed at the quiet mountain peak, Lin Bai furrowed his brows. He couldn't help but become curious in his heart. After pondering for a long time, he finally took a slow step forward and took his first step up the Sword Pavilion's mountain range.
Clang! However, just as Lin Bai's feet touched the first step of the Sword Pavilion, a sword beam pierced through this seemingly ancient serenity, the sword might overflowing the heavens, as if it wanted to evolve into the mysteries of heaven and earth. That kind of wild, destructive sword might was like a Sword Demon that was constantly reviving, waking up from the primal chaos and extinguishing everything in front of the sword!
What a breathtaking strike! As the sword qi shot out, Lin Bai's eyes lit up before it could even close in on him! This was the most perfect attack he had ever seen, other than Qing Yizi's sword intent. Especially for him, who had been constantly killing strong enemies along the way to the Sword Pavilion and was comprehending the sword intent, it was as if he had met a collector, and encountered a perfect piece of art.
This strike was a provocation, a venting of the dissatisfaction in the heart of the sword wielder! At the same time, Lin Bai also accurately grasped the emotions contained within this sword intent. However, he did not understand. This was the first time that he had come to the Sword Tower, and it was even the first time he had come at that.
However, under the might of the sword, Lin Bai did not have the time to think about it too much. Furthermore, he did not want to think about it too much, because this could be considered a perfect sword move.
Without any hesitation, Lin Bai's fingers moved and the long sword was unsheathed. The life runes poured into the sword and the back of the sword suddenly straightened. The righteous feeling in his chest was perfectly integrated into the sword!
The sword light whistled as it melded together. With an unrestrained and unrestrained aura, it slashed towards that stunning sword strike.
The sword's momentum was swift and fierce, but in an instant, the two peerless sword intents violently clashed! And this contest was no longer just a contest of sword energy or sword intent, but a contest of the Great Way of the Sword!
As the two sides clashed, a dazzling divine beam began to surge in all directions. It was as if a dazzling sword flower had been formed in the world. As for the specks of light, they were scars left behind by the cracks in the ground. They were shattered into pieces by the power of space itself. It was almost impossible to bear such two breathtaking strikes.
Clang! After an unknown amount of time, a sound like the shattering of crystals suddenly appeared between the two swords in a stalemate. After which, the dazzling sun-like glow had completely disappeared.
The sword aura dissipated, and although Lin Bai was still standing at his original position, his body was already covered in blood. Although the might of this sword attack had nearly caused him to be seriously injured, his eyes were as dazzling as stars.
This was because this was the first person he had encountered who was evenly matched since he had started cultivating the sword arts. Furthermore, this was not only an attitude of joy at seeing someone. He was also certain that the person who had attacked him in the Sword Pavilion was not someone he could easily deal with.
Dong! Forcefully supporting his bloodied body, Lin Bai suddenly took a step forward, stepping on the stone steps once more as he took a step forward.
As he took a step forward, although he no longer released his stunning sword intent, a cool and ethereal voice suddenly exploded next to Lin Bai's ear. He indifferently asked, "What is a sword?"
What, the person who used this strike was actually a woman? As the sound of his voice faded, Lin BaiDen could not help but be taken aback. He had never imagined that such a domineering sword strike could actually be executed by a woman.
"Thousand Tempering Hundred Refining into a sword, advancing forward without hesitation into a sword!" Even though he was astonished, Lin Bai still spoke in an indifferent manner. Moreover, while he was speaking, his footsteps did not slow down at all. Instead, he took another flight of stairs forward.
As she finished speaking, the woman's voice fell silent for a moment, waiting for Lin Bai to step onto the third step. Then, she slowly spoke again, "What is the Dao?"
Earth, Sky, Earth, Heavenly. Dao. Dao is natural. Dao is Dao! Without any hesitation, Lin Bai brought over the moral scriptures and his father's explanation of the ways of the world.
As Lin Bai expected, after he said this, the voice went silent again, and he took another step forward. However, just as he was standing on the fourth step, the ethereal voice rang out again, asking indifferently, "What is the Dao?"
Why would he ask the same question? When Lin Bai heard these words, he couldn't help but frown. However, he endured the confusion in his heart and slowly said, "The harmony of Yin and Yang is the truth." "It's lonely and lonely, independent and unchanging. Zhou Xing was not. He was the mother of heaven and earth, and those who mix together into one breath of air are the way!"
"What is the Dao?" But contrary to Lin Bai's expectations, just as he finished answering all of this, and his feet touched the fifth step, that ethereal voice suddenly asked the same question as the previous two times.
What was he trying to do? Could it be that the first two answers were unable to satisfy her? After pondering for a moment, Lin Bai's sword-like eyebrows twitched. He took a step forward and said, "I am extremely determined. I will face any adversity, spread my wings in the wind, and soar through the nine heavens. This place is the path of the Dao!"
This was the feeling that came into Lin Bai's heart when he was riding the flying sword. From that moment on, he realized that what he was chasing was not something else, but freedom, and freedom was also his Dao!
With that, the Sword Pavilion returned to its previous silence, with only the sound of Lin Bai continuously stepping on the stone steps. At this moment, even Lin Bai suspected that the person who asked this question had already finished his questions and was leaving.
"What is the Dao of the Sword?" However, compared to before, this time, the tone of her voice had become much more gentle. However, it contained a slight sense of confusion, as if the question about what was the path of the sword had lingered in her heart for a long time, and she was unable to find an answer.
With these words, Lin Bai also fell silent. He even gradually halted his steps, his eyes slightly narrowed as he contemplated in his heart. Just like asking a woman who walked the path of the sword, this question puzzled him for a long time.
At this moment, it was as if time had come to a standstill once again. The space between heaven and earth was completely silent, and it was impossible to even hear the sound of breathing.
"Only by tempering oneself thoroughly can one become a sword. Only in the ultimate realm of the sword can one become a Dao!" With the Life and Death Sword in hand, I will cut through all injustices. The direction of my heart and the direction of my sword, this is my path of the sword! " After a long while, Lin Bai suddenly opened his eyes. Lightning flashed in his eyes as he slowly enunciated word by word, breaking through metal and stone. He was filled with a feeling of freedom.
Boom!" Just as Lin Bai's words came out, a hearty laugh came from the top of the Sword Pavilion. The laughter spread in all directions and was filled with a feeling of unrestrained confidence. As his laughter rang out, the Sword Pavilion, which was originally silent like a hidden edge or sheath, suddenly became noisy. The cries of humans, birds, and insects instantly rang out.
After the extreme silence, the sudden hubbub caused Lin Bai to feel as if it had been a lifetime. He even felt that all these sounds, although they sounded familiar, were very unfamiliar to him.
However, the more this happened, the more intense the fear he felt in his heart became. He knew that the reason why he felt so silent from the moment he entered the Sword Pavilion was not because the Sword Pavilion truly did not make a single sound. It was because the power that belonged to the person who laughed had already isolated him from all other sounds, causing him to sink into extreme silence.
Such a tyrannical move, and when it was used, Lin Bai could actually make himself completely unable to detect it. Lin Bai was already unable to imagine just how terrifying the cultivation of the owner of this laughter was.
In addition, he was completely and utterly confident that the owner of this laughter was no stranger to him. It was definitely Qing Yizi!
"Zhen Er, I've asked all four questions. Are you still curious about why Master chose this person?" At this moment, the air in front of Lin Bai trembled slightly. Suddenly, two figures appeared, one of which was an old man with snow-white hair and a handsome face, who had a confident yet carefree smile on his face. He smiled as he swept a glance at Lin Bai and said to the woman beside him.
