Chapter 899 – Together (2/2)
The alterations Xu Yourong made to the Unity Sword Art originated from her experience cultivating the Halving Blade Style together with Chen Changsheng in the Garden of Zhou.
At the time, she had begun memorizing the Halving Blade Style from the first technique while Chen Changsheng had begun from the last, a process they continued until they met somewhere in the middle.
She placed all that she had comprehended into altering the Unity Sword Art.
A year later, she made an appointment with Chen Changsheng in the Mausoleum of Books, where they thought, discussed, and comprehended in front of the monolith hut.
She placed all that she had gained into altering the Unity Sword Art as well.
This was the distilled knowledge of a cultivating genius that was then further refined. It was also a recollection of the past, a yearning for another person.
Chen Changsheng's mind was connected with hers, and they had absolute trust in each other.
He was a part of those experiences, learning the Halving Blade Style and sharing his understanding of the monolith inscriptions.
Those comprehensions and knowledge were common between the two of them. He could accurately predict what she was thinking and coordinate his actions.
To learn this sword style, one first had to learn the Unity Sword Art, and then comprehend the Heavenly Tome Monoliths together, and finally, one had to learn the Halving Blade Style.
The foundation of all this was an absolute trust.
If one looked across the world, looked back one thousand years, the only people to fulfill these conditions were Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong.
Thus, only he and she had the ability to use this sword style.
Just like how, regardless of all the people on this plateau, they only had eyes for each other.
Those people were all looking at them.
The gentle breeze blew. Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong stood side by side, their expressions calm, their eyes clear and bright, their clothes swaying in the breeze. They possessed an unearthly aura.
They were truly a beautiful couple.
They truly deserved to be called celestial Dao companions.
……
……
A voice sounded through the plateau.
”The Daoist Canon has records of an art in which two swords work in harmony, describing it with the most mystical of words. Yet for a thousand years, it has never been witnessed. Seeing it today, it truly is incomparably profound.”
Bie Yanghong continued, ”It must be said that you two are truly a match made in heaven.”
Many people couldn't agree more with these words. 'Match made in heaven' seemed like a phrase made to describe Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong.
One was the Pope while the other was the Holy Maiden of the south. The two once had an engagement, and after countless incidents, they still ended up falling in love with each other. Both of them were the most talented of cultivating geniuses, reaching Star Condensation at a young age. Now, when their two swords worked in harmony, they were even able to resist an expert of the Divine Domain.
In every aspect, Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong were a perfect fit for the phrase 'match made in heaven'.
Gou Hanshi, Bai Cai, and the other disciples of the Mount Li Sword Sect were still in shock over the sword art used by Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong, but upon hearing this statement, they couldn't help but feel something else.
What would their eldest brother think if he saw this sight, heard these words?
”Normally, I would be full of praise after witnessing such a mystical sword style, and even down three cups of wine to liven the mood. Alas, I cannot today.”
Bie Yanghong paused, then continued, ”Although that son was unvirtuous and unworthy, I am his father, so I have to do a few things on his behalf.”
