Chapter 199 - Carrying the Sword CultivationFor the rest of the journey, it could be said that Xiang Yun spent every single day in deep waters and deep flames.
Carrying a huge sword that weighed more than a thousand pounds and was as heavy as a mountain, what kind of concept was it to be hurrying through this dangerous Silvermoon Forest?
Not to mention how fast he could walk, it would be difficult just to walk the path properly.Xiang Yun"s own weight, in addition to the weight of the Blue Profound Sword, made every step exceptionally heavy. Walking in this snow-covered forest all year round, every step he took would usually leave a footprint that was one foot deep, and would require a large amount of effort to pull it out.
If he accidentally stepped on those solid layers of ice that had formed from solid ice, his feet would slip and Xiang Yun"s center of gravity would become unstable. If he didn"t fall like a dog eating mud, he would fall headlong.
There was nothing he could do. With such a heavy sword on his back, even if he had the G.o.dspeed of the Hundred Transformations, it would be difficult for him to use it at this moment.
After flopping around on the ground for a long time, it was as if he was looking up at the sky. He still had to get up on his own.Also, with this greatsword on his back, Xiang Yun discovered that not only would his body be under immense pressure, even his flesh and bones would have to continuously acc.u.mulate strength to bear this burden.
What was even more strange was that the circulation of the cloud energy in his body seemed to have been affected and slowed down.
The Fire Dragon that could move unhindered through the meridians in its entire body seemed to have been suppressed by an enormous force, making it difficult to move forward!
The dual burden of Yun Li"s body and energy had caused Xiang Yun, who had been hurrying on his journey for the entire day, to be utterly exhausted. Moreover, he had been smashed to the point where his face was bruised and bruised, not a single part of his body intact.However, Luo He, who had been accompanying Xiang Yun during his miserable experience, turned a blind eye.
Every time Xiang Yun fell to the ground, his gaze would subconsciously shift elsewhere. Once Xiang Yun had crawled up, he would continue to direct him as if nothing had happened.
Every time this happened, Xiang Yun would look at Luo He with an incomparably resentful gaze. The latter would either pretend not to see or say with a stunned face, "Brother Wei, you can"t be unable to make it, right? If it"s no good, don"t force yourself. "
"I …"
Every time Xiang Yun was defeated by these words, he could only lower his head and hurry forward, falling to the ground. He would just get up, who asked a philosopher in his previous life to say that?"Life is the process of constantly falling down and constantly getting up. A setback is something that anyone will encounter. The difference is that …"
"Someone is trapped in a deep pit, unable to extricate themselves, hiding in it, lamenting and lamenting. Someone quickly got up, and even though he was covered in pain, he still continued to walk. As he walked, he suddenly became enlightened. "
Xiang Yun discovered that he was quite ill, to think that he had actually been tormented by this Blue Profound Sword, and was pondering over the philosophy of life.
It had been arduous for him to endure until finally he could rest. Xiang Yun sat paralyzed on the ground, his body as hungry as a pile of mud. At the same time, he could not wait to unsheath the sword sheath on his back!
"Finally free, ah!"
Xiang Yun let out a long breath. He felt that this was the first time the hard, cold ground had become so comfortable!
At this moment, Luo He was rather considerate as she grilled the Cloud Beast meat to cook dinner for Xiang Yun.The two of them were Cloud Warriors, and they ate high-level Cloud Beasts every day. They ate precious meat filled with spirit energy, so they had plenty of energy every day. They only needed to eat a meal a day to not feel hungry.
Perhaps it was because the current Xiang Yun had used up too much of his energy, he lay on the ground and received the grilled meat from Luo He. Without even glancing at it, he immediately stuffed it into his stomach.
After dinner, Xiang Yun forced himself up despite his reluctance. He sat cross-legged on the ground and began channeling the Art of Creation.
This was a habit Xiang Yun had cultivated for four hours before using the Turtle-Breath Art to recover his mind energy.
Just as he was about to activate the Art of Creation, Xiang Yun was shocked to discover something unusual.
He discovered that the purple flame dragon that had been suppressed and weakened for a day was now like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins.
Normally, it would take at least an hour to complete one cycle. However, tonight, it took a full quarter of an hour less time than usual.
"What"s going on?"
"Don"t tell me …"
Xiang Yun suddenly thought of the Giant Blue Profound Sword that had tormented him for the entire day.
When Luo He had gifted him this sword, she had once said that the Blue Profound Sword was extremely beneficial to her body"s tempering as well as to the improvement of her cloud energy. This was undoubtedly the latter"s effect.
"I didn"t expect this huge sword to have such a miraculous effect!"
Xiang Yun immediately became excited. His originally exhausted body, which had been somewhat sluggish in his heart, was now filled with fighting spirit.
He immediately went through another four cycles, a total of five cycles.
When he was so tired that he could no longer operate his martial arts, he leaned on the stone wall and started to circulate his Turtle Aura Technique again. His entire body entered a mysterious state of hibernation!
The next morning, just as Luo He opened her eyes, she saw Xiang Yun, who was being carried on his back with his great sword and sword scabbard, looking at her in high spirits!
"It"s getting late. Brother Luo He, pack up. Let"s go!"
Luo He stared blankly at him for a moment before looking at Xiang Yun up and down, a hint of surprise appearing in her eyes!
The latter was indeed somewhat astonished in her heart.
He had originally thought that since it was Xiang Yun"s first time carrying the Blue Profound Sword, even if his Yun Li and physique could withstand it, his mental energy would not be able to sustain it.
According to his thoughts, Xiang Yun would definitely have to rest for at least an hour or so longer than usual before he could fully recover. He had not expected Xiang Yun to wake up so early instead of prolonging his rest.Luo He was sizing up Xiang Yun in order to observe if he was deliberately trying to show off. If that were the case, not only would Xiang Yun be unable to train, his soul and body would also be damaged, which would be detrimental to his future cultivation.
However, what caused Luo He to be even more shocked was that Xiang Yun"s gaze was able to see that the latter did not seem exhausted in the slightest. Instead, he was glowing and br.i.m.m.i.n.g with energy. He did not seem to be lacking in mind energy at all!"It seems like this guy has quite a few secrets."
Luo He muttered to herself in her heart, but she immediately nodded and stood up as well. Carrying the sword case on his back, she left with Xiang Yun!As Xiang Yun travelled while carrying Cang Xuan, he did not feel much more relaxed than yesterday. He was still as heavy as Mt. Tai, and the pressure caused him to be unable to breathe.
However, Xiang Yun"s att.i.tude today was completely different from yesterday.The current Xiang Yun knew that this Giant Blue Profound Sword was of great significance to his own cultivation.
Therefore, no matter how difficult it was and how many times he fell, he did not show any signs of wanting to give up. He did not even utter a single word of complaint.Xiang Yun thirsted for power. Every time he relaxed his mind, he would think of that unreachable man standing at the top of Storm Nation, his cold eyes filled with contempt!
"Just you wait, I"ll surpa.s.s you sooner or later!"
Xiang Yun gritted his teeth, pulling his feet out from the snow. Determined, he stepped forward!Luo He, who was following behind Xiang Yun, stared at the figure that was constantly falling and then climbing back up. She felt slightly moved.
The current Xiang Yun looked so much like the him who carried the Blue Profound Sword all those years ago. It was as if he had performed better than himself.
The corners of Luo He"s lips unconsciously curled upwards, revealing a moving smile that caused the snow and ice on her body to melt. It was a pity that the young man in front of her couldn"t see that moment of absolute beauty.The two of them continued on their journey for five days. Since Xiang Yun was carrying the Blue Profound Sword on his back, his speed naturally had slowed by quite a bit. They were still unable to leave the center of the Setting Sun forest.
For the past five days, Xiang Yun had been carrying the enormous azure sword on his back as he walked and trained. Even though he still felt a heavy burden on his body as he struggled to walk, the current him, even though he walked very slowly, seldom fell down.
However, even so, whenever he b.u.mped into one or two Cloud Beasts, Xiang Yun would still be unable to block them with his Blue Profound Sword. After all, this sword was simply too heavy.
Xiang Yun could only hurry and use his storage ring to retrieve the Blue Profound sword. He then took out the Wandering Dragon Sword and used it to deal with these Cloud Beasts that were blind.
When the battle was over, without needing Luo He to remind him, he hurriedly took out his Blue Profound Sword and carried it on his back.After five days of training like a monk, his Yun Li"s cultivation and the strength of his physique had both improved.
Other than the effects of the Blue Profound Sword"s tempering, it also had to do with the profoundness of the Art of Creation and the fact that the Turtle Resting Art could restore one"s mental strength. All three were indispensable!As for Xiang Yun"s rapid progress, it was naturally seen by Luo He. The latter"s heart was filled with gratification, but also a trace of amazement.
According to his previous estimation, Xiang Yun would need to rest for a day after cultivating at such a high intensity. Otherwise, his body and mind would very likely collapse.However, the current Xiang Yun"s cultivation was growing increasingly deep, and his spiritual will was also growing stronger. He was actually completely able to endure this heavy burden of cultivation.
As the sun set on the fifth day, Xiang Yun and Luo He found another place to rest. The place where they had hidden themselves was rather special. It was actually a towering ancient tree, its peak!
This ancient tree was a type of ancient tree that was known as the Skypillar Geyser. Its trunk was thick, and its leaves were luxuriant. It would often grow to a height of a few hundred meters, making it one of the tallest trees in the Silvermoon Forest.
The most miraculous thing about this tree was that the top of this ancient tree was not like ordinary trees. It was a fine branch. There was a section on top of the tree trunk that was hollow.
The latter was like an opening in a well, forming a hollow, round tree hole. If there was a continuous rain, the water in the tree hole would be like a well, and because it contained the rain from the sky, the tree would be named the "Bypa.s.s Sky Well"!
The two of them did not find a more suitable place to hide, so they climbed up to the top of the Skypiercing Well and used the hole at the top of the Skypiercing Well as their hiding place for the night!Although this place could not be considered secluded, the ancient trees were tall and big, which allowed them to avoid most of the cloud beasts that were moving on the ground.
This place was also in the middle of the Sunset Forest. Even if they were unlucky and were discovered by some bird-type cloud beasts, the two of them were completely capable of dealing with it.
Moreover, they were most satisfied with the fact that they could see the sky from this tree hole.For the past ten or so days, the two of them had been moving stealthily through the Sunset Forest. Every time they rested, they would choose some tree holes, caves, deep valleys, etc.
This was the first time they were able to look up at the sky in the Silvermoon Forest.
Tianxuan Continent was not like Xiang Yun"s previous world. There was no smoke or haze, and this world br.i.m.m.i.n.g with cloud energy was not polluted. The air was clean and clean, and the sky was as clear as a mirror.Under the hazy night sky, the sky was filled with shining stars. A crescent moon hung high up in the sky, right above their heads. It stopped right in the middle of the well, like a shiny jade plate that could be touched with a single hand.
The scene in front of them was just like a painting of the starry sky. It was so beautiful that it was like it was spread out in front of them.
Inside the tree, Xiang Yun unsheathed his sword and lay on his back, staring into the starry sky. He breathed in the sweet, woody air, completely relaxing his tired body and mind.
Luo He took out two pieces of dried meat from her storage ring and handed one to Xiang Yun.
As the two of them were in the Silvermoon Forest, they might not always find a good place to rest. Naturally, they could not always start a fire to roast meat.
Therefore, sometimes, Luo He would use the Cloud Beast meat to make some jerky. Whenever they were in a place where they couldn"t light a fire, the two of them would eat jerky to satisfy their hunger.
Needless to say, Luo He"s cooking skills were quite good. At the very least, the dried meat she produced was unique in taste and had quite a good taste.
After receiving the dried meat, Xiang Yun wolfed it down as usual, quickly filling his stomach.
This time around, he wasn"t in a hurry to cultivate. Instead, he continued to gaze up at the starry sky. It was a rare opportunity to witness such a beautiful scene.
Luo He also felt that the night sky was exceptionally beautiful, but she did not cultivate. Instead, she lay down three feet away from Xiang Yun and looked up into the starry sky. A strange light flashed across her eyes.The starry sky seemed to be the size of a well.
The moon seemed to be right in front of their eyes, time seemed to have stopped at this moment. The two of them laid on top of the ancient trees in the forest.
Xiang Yun suddenly said, "If there was wine, that would be great!"
