Chapter 2166 Raw 2273, Raw 2272 Nonexistent : Exchanging Moves

“Boom!”

After some time, the painting before Xiao Chen burst into flames.

A drop of spiritual blood flickered among the ashes, looking very strange.

Xiao Chen opened his eyes and revealed an expression of joy. His Saber Great Dao had taken another step towards the Saber Dao Domain.

The Fiendish Saber inheritance greatly resembled his Flawless saber Dao.

When Xiao Chen comprehended All Things Rejoicing Together, he already had a feeling that the Fiendish Saber inheritance could repair and perfect his saber Dao.

Now that he comprehended the Fiendish Saber’s second inheritance, he felt even surer that he could reach the Saber Dao Domain if he worked hard on the Fiendish Saber inheritance.

Lu Benwei, who stood at the side, felt exceptionally startled when he saw this scene. The wine flask in his hand slipped out and fell down the cliff.

Completely astonished, Lu Benwei said, “You...how did you do it? Master once said that there was a drop of Fiend blood in the inheritance painting. Back then, Master comprehended the Fiendish Saber inheritance to his limits. Even so, he did not manage to obtain the Fiend blood and had to use an alternative to complete it. That was one of his life’s regrets.”

Xiao Chen felt excited. This Fiendish Saber inheritance seemed to have an extremely mysterious origin; even Xi Mu could not completely comprehend it.

He guessed that his success might be related to his Flawless saber Dao but did not dare to be sure about it.

“Sorry, sorry. I lost myself.”

Luy Benwei performed a cupped-fist salute and smiled. “Little Brother Xiao Chen, congratulations on obtaining the second inheritance, Water Droplet Destroying the Firmament. This is a thing to celebrate.”

Xiao Chen reciprocated the salute. Then, he said heavily, “Although I have comprehended it, I still need a very long time to understand its true meaning and bring out its full might.”

“That is natural. However, there is no rush. Come with me. I will make arrangements for your accommodations. You can remain there to cultivate in the future. There is no need to mind Master Xi Mu; just practice with us at Fiend Cloud Hall.”

“Thanks, Big Brother Lu.”

“Hahaha! You’re welcome. It’s nothing much.”

After arranging for Xiao Chen’s accommodations, Lu Benwei said, “Just go straight to Fiend Cloud Hall tomorrow morning. Master gives lectures there every morning. During these days, Zhang Yushan and the other two junior brothers will be at the Thunder Saber Prison. At that time, it might be just Junior Sister Liu, you, and me.”

“Right.”

The residence appeared very simple. However, there was a Spirit Gathering Formation, a meditation room, a secret realm, and everything else required. Xiao Chen walked around and felt very satisfied.

The Primal Chaos Spiritual Energy here was much better than at his residence in the Holy Domain’s Divine Capital.

Early the next morning, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and tidied himself up before rushing over to Fiend Cloud Hall.

A quick survey found Primal Chaos in the distance. At an extreme distance where the sky and ground had not split yet, a sunlike red light appeared. It illuminated the aloof old man seated cross-legged above Fiend Cloud Hall as it peered through the vast cloud sea.

Bathed in the morning light, the old man appeared holy and dignified.

Xiao Chen knew that this old man was Fiendish Saber Xi Mu. So, he headed to Fiend Cloud Hall somewhat nervously.

“Today, I will speak about the Dao. Naturally, we bladesmen cultivate the Saber Dao. There are many Great Dao; none is superior to another. However, there are some special Great Dao—for example, the Space-Time Dao, the Cycle Dao, the Death Dao, and the Life Dao. Once one comprehends those special Great Dao, one will show incredible accomplishments. Unfortunately, our Saber Dao is not one of those special Great Dao. However, this does not mean that the Saber Dao is weaker than those Great Dao. That is because the ultimate endpoint of the many Great Dao is the Heavenly Dao. They are all different routes to the same destination...”

Xi Mu lectured dispassionately while he sat on a platform, speaking calmly. His words were simple and yet astonishing. He did not make it unnecessarily complicated, which would result in his listeners feeling like they understood but at the same time finding it unfathomable. One immediately understood clearly upon listening.

This was especially when Xi Mu explained some of the special Great Dao like the Death Dao and the Cycle Dao. This was a pleasant change for Xiao Chen.

Indeed, it was good having a master, especially one that was a Faux God expert.

Xiao Chen leaned against a tree, enthralled by the words. Suddenly, the voice stopped.

Xiao Chen startled awake and saw Xi Mu looking at him.

Immediately feeling a lack of confidence, he performed a cupped-fist salute and said, “Xiao Chen greets Senior.”

Xi Mu merely glanced over, then ignored Xiao Chen. He continued his lecture, making Xiao Chen feel very awkward.

“Little Brother Xiao Chen, sit beside me.”

Lu Benwei waved, dispelling Xiao Chen’s awkwardness. Xiao Chen thanked him. Since Xi Mu did not object to his presence, he quickly went over and took a seat.

On the other side, Liu Ruyue took a look at Xiao Chen before withdrawing her gaze, shifting it back to Xi Mu.

After about fifteen minutes, Xi Mu finished his lecture. Liu Ruyue asked questions, clarifying her doubts.

Xi Mu patiently answered the questions, helping one to deduce many things from one example. This allowed one to feel enlightened, seeing the light behind the clouds.

Xiao Chen could not help asking, “I have a question. If someone lost a part of their saber Dao but later discovers that it was crucial to forming the Saber Dao Domain, it would be difficult to find it again, turning it into a bottleneck. How should one deal with such a situation?”

Xi Mu snorted coldly. “You are not my disciple. Why should I tell you?”

Upon seeing the situation, Lu Benwei quickly asked, “Master, disciple recently felt that I reached a bottleneck in my Saber Dao Domain. I seemed to have forgotten something I have learned in the past.”

Xi Mu glanced at Lu Benwei and replied indifferently, “Keep persisting and keep it in mind; there will be a response. Since it involves a bottleneck, it must be something that entered deep into the bones and soul. How could it be gone so easily? If you are patient, you will eventually find it. If you think that you forgot it and do not think about it, how can it respond to you?”

After saying that, Xi Mu left. action

Xiao Chen stood up and said, “Thank you, Big Brother Lu.”

Lu Benwei smiled casually and replied, “It’s fine. I can tell that you are indeed anxious about it. Given your talent, you should have comprehended the Saber Dao Domain long ago.”

Xiao Chen let out a long sigh and muttered to himself, “Keep persisting and keep it in mind; there will be a response. Senior Xi Mu is right. As long as I am patient and keep persisting, my Flawless saber Dao will eventually lead me to the Dao Domain.”

“Junior Sister, please wait.”

Seeing Liu Ruyue about to leave, Lu Benwei called out to her and said, “The other junior brothers are not here today. However, you cannot lag behind, so you should train by exchanging moves.”

Liu Ruyue said, “Senior Brother, you will exchange moves with me?”

“I am much stronger than you. Even if I suppress my cultivation, it is pointless. Let Xiao Chen practice with you. Your strengths are similar. If you two exchange moves and I give pointers from the side, you will definitely improve.”

Liu Ruyue immediately felt unhappy upon hearing that. She was a person who showed love and hatred clearly. The first time they met, Xiao Chen disrespected her. When she tried to give Xiao Chen a chance to explain last night, Xiao Chen lied to her, saying that there was no problem.

This made her very uncomfortable. Right now, she was reluctant to exchange moves with Xiao Chen.

However, she had to give face to her first senior brother, so she said seriously, “Please give me your advice.”

Liu Ruyue drew the short saber hanging at her waist. A strong wind blew, and willow leaves floated about, flying like snowflakes. She moved about in the wind, drifting like a leaf. Her figure was hard to follow.

Liu Ruyue attacked at the drop of a hat. She only wanted to defeat Xiao Chen and end the exchange quickly.

Xiao Chen felt sorrowful as he watched Liu Ruyue make her move. It was like he had returned to the days of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion’s Qingyun Peak. With one look, he could make out the truth and falsehood of the saber move. Others might be terror-stricken at the sight of this Willow Leaf Saber. However, Xiao Chen was extremely familiar with it.

Although the Willow Leaf Saber was Liu Ruyue’s self-created Saber Technique, it had its roots in Qingyun Peak’s seven Secret Techniques. This was especially so for this saber move before Xiao Chen.

This clearly showed the shadow of the Clear Wind Chop from back then. It moved like a phantom, only seeing the cool breeze and not the saber.

However, this move was even more exquisite than before. Not only did it prevent one from sensing where the saber intent was, but it also made Liu Ruyue’s figure move erratically.

Furthermore, this move was supported by Soul Energy, the Wind Dao Domain, and the Saber Dao Domain. Its momentum was completely different from before.

“Dang!”

Xiao Chen drew his Tyrant Saber and swung it at lightning speed. This seemingly casual strike happened to hit the weak spot of Liu Ruyue’s move.

“Hah...!” Lu Benwei sighed as his eyes lit up. Even he had not noticed this weak spot.

Liu Ruyue was even more startled. Xiao Chen’s expressionless face made her angrier. Hence, she executed the Willow Leaf Saber again. Her figure gently drifted and shot up, becoming like a phantom and moving as fast as the strong wind.

Xiao Chen used his saber and blocked this move at a critical moment, appearing very skilled.

“Excellent!” Lu Benwei could not help clapping and cheering, showing a smile.

In the blink of an eye, one hundred moves passed. Xiao Chen dealt with the moves as they came. Liu Ruyue quickly forgot her initial upset, becoming immersed in exchanging moves with Xiao Chen.

Liu Ruyue felt that Xiao Chen’s moves were very mystical, always striking her weak spots. This allowed her to patch up her insufficiencies quickly.

Her saber skills advanced rapidly.

More importantly, Liu Ruyue felt strangely satisfied. It was like the scene before her was very familiar, which made her immerse herself in it, all unawares.

She had never experienced such a feeling from exchanging moves with any other cultivator.

After the two exchanged one thousand moves, they sheathed their sabers and moved back.

“Haha! Great! Junior Sister, I was right, right? Exchanging moves with Little Brother Xiao Chen is indeed of great help to you,” Lu Benwei laughed as he walked over.

“As if!”

Liu Ruyue feared that she could not hide her joyful feelings. So, she showed a blank expression and left. However, as she turned, her heart pounded heavily without stopping.

Feeling confused, Lu Benwei scratched his head and asked, “Was it not good?”
