Chapter 1005: Help Fairy Lijiang (1)

Editor: Henyee Translations

At night, Fairy Lijiang, who was only wearing a white inner coat with a thin layer of gauze, was standing on the roof and eaves of the Moon Immortal Pavilion. Her waist was tied with a simple red ribbon, and her waterfall-like black hair casually fell on her shoulders. Her jade-like skin had a hint of melancholy at this moment. Her red lips were slightly closed, as if her eyes were looking at the cold moon from afar, emitting a sense of isolation.

There was a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent. A smile that could topple a city, a country. Faint laughter sounded from the eaves. Fairy Lijiang’s eyes turned slightly. When she saw the figure of the person who came, her face turned slightly red. “Senior Brother Shen, why are you here?”

Shen Ping also sat on the roof with his legs hanging down. He smiled and said, “Fortunately, I came. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to see such beautiful scenery under the moon.”

Hearing such praise, Fairy Lijiang, who was shy, lowered her head in embarra.s.sment. “I-I’m not a beauty.”

Shen Ping shrugged his shoulders and half-laid on the roof. He rested his head on his hands and looked at the moon in the sky. “The number one beauty of Seeping River Academy, Yao Xian. If you weren’t a beauty, wouldn’t the world be wrong? However, be it a beauty or an ordinary person, they would have something on their minds. Everyone in the world has troubles, and even a true immortal would have such worries.”

Fairy Lijiang bit her red lips lightly. “Senior Brother Shen, how do you know that Exiled Immortals also have troubles?”

“Because I have!”

“Pfft…” Fairy Lijiang was amused. Looking at Shen Ping’s sloppy appearance, she shook her head repeatedly. “How can there be an immortal like you in the world?” As she spoke, she sighed faintly.

Shen Ping did not say anything else. During the day, this girl was still full of sword intent and defeated several Earth Immortals on the Cosmos Ranking in one go. In the end, at night, she lamented with a pitiful expression.

There was a long silence.

Fairy Lijiang was the first to be unable to hold it in. She looked at Shen Ping and spat out the worries in her heart. “Tomorrow, I’ll spar with Sword Saint Taixuan of the Sword Whisper Tower. I heard that in recent years, her Heartless Sword Dao has become stronger. While I haven’t even crossed the threshold of the Sword Dao of Emotions. It’s fine if I lose, but now, it’s the Sword Dao Exchange Compet.i.tion and it’s held in the academy.

“If I lose, it means that the Sword Dao of Emotions of the academy is not as good as the Sword Dao of Heartless of the Sword Whisper Tower.”

Shen Ping’s lips twitched. He guessed that this girl was worried about this. Other than the matter of her friend from the Demon Nation, she rarely had any other thoughts. “Junior Sister Yao, do you really care about the difference in swordsmanship between the academy and the Sword Whisper Tower?”

Fairy Lijiang hugged her legs and shook her head gently. “I don’t care, but the Palace Master cares. All the students in the academy care. The compet.i.tion between our academy and the Sword Whisper Tower has been going on for a long time. Previously, it was my academy that suppressed the Sword Whisper Tower, but now, I’m not confident.”

During the day, Huo Ru the Sword Saint Taixuan’s Heartless Sword Dao was indeed very powerful. In comparison, the pure Parting Water Sword Intent was not her match.

This was because the Sword Saint’s Heartless Sword Dao had already entered the Dao. This was not a basic Dao like metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, but a Dao of emotion and heartlessness, which was a branch of the true Sword Dao.

In terms of hierarchy, the Heartless Sword Dao was equivalent to a high-grade Great Dao. Once it was completely mastered, its power was astonishing. This Dao mainly depended on one’s state of mind. To put it bluntly, one’s state of mind determines the strength of one’s Sword Intent.

Shen Ping looked at Fairy Lijiang’s side profile. He knew that this number one genius of the academy was already in a mess. She was disturbed by too much invisible pressure and was also affected by the Sword Dao strength displayed by Huo Ru.

In his opinion, these invisible shackles, burdens, and various mortal troubles were also a part of the Great Dao. Just like himself, he ran around for Venerable Sovereign Tian Hong, the Immortal Dao Domain, and to obtain the authority of the bracelet.

It’s just that some people can bear it, while some people can’t handle it. He was already used to it after experiencing many palace worlds and cultivating for so many years. However, this world was special. Be it sword intent, sword techniques, or other weapons and skills, they would be interfered with by one’s mental state and will.

Therefore, once one could not withstand the mortal shackles, their sword heart would be damaged. It was the same for the Sword Whisper Tower’s Heartless Sword Dao. If he did not forget his emotions, the Sword Dao he pursued would be greatly affected. His realm would fall, and it was common for his strength to be greatly reduced. This phenomenon is not uncommon.

“Do you like swordsmanship?” he thought about it before Shen Ping asked her.

Fairy Lijiang nodded vigorously. “I’ve cultivated sword techniques since I was young. The sword is already a part of my life. No, it’s a part of my being, but I don’t know how to cultivate the Sword Dao of Emotions. I like mountains and rivers, plants, and every part of the academy, but all I wanted to do was to practice the sword in peace.”

Shen Ping understood. He smiled and said, “Everything in the world has a spirit. So does your sword. As long as it’s something with spirituality, it will develop feelings. Junior Sister Yao, have you used your sword to communicate with mountains and rivers or with plants?”

Fairy Lijiang turned around and blinked. “Can swords communicate with mountains, rivers, and plants?”

“Of course.” He floated down from the eaves and landed in the courtyard. Then, he walked to the flowerbed not far away. He pressed his fingers together and a gentle sword light spat out from his fingertips. The flowers and plants in the flowerbed swayed and grew as if they were happy.

Fairy Lijiang stood beside Shen Ping, her eyes filled with surprise.

“Heaven and earth have emotions and include all living beings, but heaven and earth are also heartless. It will not change with the will of plants, mountains, and living beings. The only thing that can change is your heart. If your heart has feelings, it can accommodate all living beings and accept all rivers.”
