Chapter 1408

Abandoned World 87.

Xun Shuang Xianzi sat in meditation, regulating her breath, healing the minor injury caused by her previous consumption of origin.

She tried to comprehend the Void Great Dao so she could leave this place.

But comprehending the Dao isn't something you can simply grasp by wanting to; in her haste, she gained nothing and instead made herself anxious and upset.

She opened her eyes and glanced to the side.

Xiao Feng had already left two hours ago.

"What the senior sister said is right—there's nothing trustworthy between heaven and earth; only oneself is truly reliable." she thought.

Over the past two or three days, she and Xiao Feng had been supporting each other, jointly resisting the void turbulence.

I had thought this person could be trusted and worth befriending, even if he were a fated enemy, we could be both friends and foes.

I never expected that he was only staying with her for his own safety; seeing that this realm had no way out, he abandoned her and left alone.

Xun Shuang felt a little disappointed, feeling she had misjudged a person.

But after a moment's thought, she let it go.

Anyway, they weren't close friends, and they might even become mortal enemies in the future, so if he's gone, he's gone.

She had already become an immortal, with a vast lifespan; at worst she could spend ten thousand years comprehending the Dao in this realm, and still be able to leave after that.

But she didn't know how long this broken world could hold up; if it collapsed soon, she would lose her chance to comprehend and would have to drift back into the void.

"Comprehend the Dao."

She sighed, then continued to focus on comprehending the true meaning of the Void Great Dao within the Primordial Scripture.

Her state of mind was good; even if things didn't go smoothly, she could remain calm and composed, allowing herself to think tranquilly.

However, comprehending the Dao depends heavily on one's state; at this moment she lacked inspiration, her thoughts were somewhat shallow, and for a while she couldn't generate much insight or resonance with the Void Great Dao.

After sitting in meditation for an hour, she opened her eyes again and temporarily gave up.

"Let's practice the sword for a while."

There was no one around, and the whole world was empty.

Having nothing to do, not wanting to cultivate and unable to comprehend the Dao, she simply took out a jade sword from her storage treasure, stood up, and waved it casually.

What seemed like a casual sword motion actually contained the Heaven and Earth Great Dao; it was a technique of the Supreme Sword Secret.

When she previously sparred with Xiao Feng, she claimed she wasn't skilled in swordsmanship, but that was actually a deliberate pretense.

As the disciple personally taught by the number one sword cultivator of Kyushu, the 'Wuxin Dao Zun,' how could she possibly not know how to wield a sword?

Over the past three thousand years, she had nearly received the senior sister's complete true transmission; her mastery of the sword Dao was so profound that it even surpassed that of the famed woodcutter and fisherman sword cultivators!

However, this is a secret; aside from the Wuxin Dao Zun, no one else knows, including many of her fellow sect members.

As she waved the jade sword, the motions appeared slow, yet each stroke contained the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, with time and yin-yang flowing between the movements; if someone were to accidentally collide with it, they would instantly vanish into smoke.

The origin of this sword is also extraordinary.

It is the top-ranked weapon among the Ten Famous Swords of Kyushu, of Heavenly Venerable Spirit Treasure quality; outsiders call it the Wuxin Divine Sword, but its true name is 'Zhandao' (Slay the Dao).

Originally it was the personal sword of her senior sister, the Wuxin Dao Zun; now that the Wuxin Dao Zun's cultivation surpasses all under heaven, having long since transcended the need for a sword—where no sword is better than having one—she gave this venerable-level weapon to her.

When she previously exchanged blows with Xiao Feng, if she had used this sword, the entire Sword Discussion Peak would have been split apart, even the grand formation would be destroyed, and the collapsing void would become even larger!

At this moment, with no one around, she casually practiced for a while, and the surrounding space faintly trembled, as if it might collapse at any moment.

"Alas, the Zhandao Sword is still too strong; only the Myriad Heavens Battlefield and higher planes can withstand such power. Kyushu and this barren world would easily be shaken apart..."

She had no choice but to put away this weapon, which is even stronger than the Kaitian Sword, and switch to an ordinary wooden sword.

The wooden sword is fragile, usable only for practicing forms; even a trace of immortal power would shatter it.

She wasn't really training; she was just passing the time because she had nothing else to do.

As she practiced, Xun Shuang Xianzi suddenly felt the space begin to fluctuate, and she frowned, thinking, 'I haven't used any spiritual power—could this place be about to collapse?'

She carefully sensed it and discovered the source of the fluctuation was not far from her.

The fluctuation expanded rapidly; in just three seconds it went from weak to strong, and after another two seconds there was a humming sound!

... a teleportation gate opened before her.

"Huh? Could it be that the senior sister herself has come to pick me up?"

Seeing the teleportation gate, she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

But the one who walked out was not her familiar senior sister, but a handsome male sword cultivator.

"Um... how is it you?"

Upon discovering that Xiao Feng had emerged from it, she exclaimed in astonishment.

"Ah, who else could it be if not me?"

Xiao Feng was also astonished, not knowing why she would ask that.

Then he saw Xun Shuang Xianzi holding a toy wooden sword in her hand and wondered, 'What are you doing with a wooden sword? Do you think my sword skill looks cool and want to learn it?'

"I..."

Xun Shuang Xianzi twisted her wrist, and the wooden sword was instantly retracted into her storage space.

Then she calmly asked, 'How did you go and come back?' changing the subject.

Xiao Feng explained, 'I left in a hurry and forgot to mention—I was looking for an item to transmit across realms; my luck was good, and I found it in just a few hours. Here it is.'

Saying this, he took out two interworld transmission star gates and showed them to her.

"Ah... I thought you had left on your own."

Hearing this, Xun Shuang Xianzi responded in surprise, 'I had thought he was unreliable, seeing no hope of leaving together, so I went on my own.'

I never expected that he was actually trying to find a way to bring her along, and he managed to do so in such a short time!

For a moment, her feelings became somewhat complicated; she had to withdraw her previous private assumptions and reassess him.

"Am I that kind of person? I'm very reliable."

The misunderstood Xiao Feng said somewhat innocently.

Hmm……

Xun Shuang Xianzi nodded slightly, feeling a bit ashamed.

"Then we... are we leaving this place now?" she asked.

Xiao Feng smiled, putting away the Xing Kong Gate in his hand, and shook his head.

"Why?" Xun Shuang Xianzi did not understand.

"Fairy Maiden, did you forget something?" Xiao Feng said.

"Huh?" Her brows furrowed slightly beneath the clouds and mist.

Xiao Feng explained: "Didn't we agree to study each other's cultivation techniques? You forgot so quickly? Or... are you unwilling?"

Xun Shuang Xianzi suddenly realized, immediately tapping her chin: "Alright, let's start now—should you go first or me?"

There are no outsiders here; practicing here doesn't require worrying about being seen by others, it's very safe.

Xiao Feng said: "I won't let you lose out; I'll go first."

He feared Xun Shuang Xianzi wouldn't want to mutually verify cultivation with him, so he proactively first demonstrated the cultivation process of the 'Origin Book'.

The 'Origin Book' cannot be passed on, but it's not that letting someone observe cultivation is forbidden; merely observing each other's cultivation process for reference and understanding is still possible.

Upon hearing this, Xun Shuang Xianzi nodded and said: "Good, I also want to know how your cultivation differs from mine."

"Alright, then I'll begin."

Xiao Feng sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and rotated the heart method recorded in the 'Origin Book', calmly cultivating.

Xun Shuang Xianzi walked over and sat down one meter in front of him, attentively observing his cultivation of the heart method.

At first, the energy fluctuations were very weak; Xiao Feng was not yet familiar with the energy aura of this world.

So she also didn't notice anything, merely thinking the man before her was rather good-looking.

After a while, Xiao Feng formally entered the state, and all kinds of energy between heaven and earth were drawn to him.

That kind of all-accepting, all-things-can-be-used-by-me Dao rhythm gradually caused Xun Shuang Xianzi to raise her eyebrows.
