Chapter 511 To Slice Water with a Knife (2/2)
Lightning and thunder originated from the interaction of Yin Qi and Yang Qi. This is the plainest of all powers that originated from heaven and earth.
The Netherworld contained a lot of Yin Qi, while the pure and grand appearance of Yang Qi could be obtained from the sun.
Those who have Youhu's blood naturally bore slight essences of lightning and thunder power. Therefore, when Lei Jing practiced Summoning of Wind and Rain, she would surely possess the foundation for it.
Of course, only a rare and remarkable talent such as Shen Lian could dissect this branch of technique, since he was not at a disadvantage to begin with. He could complete the cultivation of Summoning of Wind and Rain with Lei Jing's understanding and her ways of doing it.
If Lei Jing could complete the cultivation of Summoning of Wind and Rain, she would equally have cultivated parts of Taixu Strategy and obtained the power of wind, water, and thunder. Even if the peak of a Qi cultivator's Daoist techniques were not counted in, it was already valuable enough.
Perhaps the Summoning of Wind and Rain and this branch of supernatural power had been noticed by talents from the past dynasties since its first conception in the ancient times up till it came to the hands of Qing Xuan. And for the analysis of its success and failure in being cultivated, it could even be said to be thoroughly tried and tested. If Lei Jing had sufficient spiritual wisdom, it might even be possible for her to derive from it a new branch of cultivation and Dao formula. This new branch would not be under the one hundred and eight techniques, but it would be enough to teach people to cultivate to a higher state. Much of it would be smoother down the road.
The more concentrated she was, the faster time passed. When tomorrow came, Shen Lian along with his starlight dispersed and he vanished.
Lei Jing was still engrossed in exploring this branch of spell. A new world was opened to her by virtue of the mysteries within. As it turns out, aside from being able to topple mountains with one fist or stepping on rivers and seas with one's feet, there existed such a technique of force manipulation that was this fascinating.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
In comparison to using one's own flesh and blood to battle the heavens, the spells of Qi cultivators were more exuberant, and mesmerising.
Wind and rain are not solely forces of destruction. They bring vitality too, just like the sight of almond blossoms in the morning after a night of spring rain at the quaint tower.
...….
The light of dawn scattered its rays on the Xia Canal and turned into rays of red light, rippling with the waves of the water.
Wu Ding woke up early every morning and today was no different. He held a thick back knife in his hands, and he looked at the Xia Canal. His spiritual senses rippled with the waves of the water and he fully experienced the minutiae of the water movement.
Suddenly there was a downward swipe of the knife, and then he retracted. A gap unexpectedly appeared in the fervently galloping flow of water. A layer of shapeless blade Qi parted the water continuously for quite some time.
He heard the sound of clapping. It rang clearly in his ears.
”Zi Zhao, your knife technique is marvellous, slicing a gap in the flowing water. You let the knife take its course with a swift movement, and you parted the continuously flowing water. If the assassin from Dongyi (or is it Eastern Barbarians? cause the databank has both) the other day met the current you, life and death as well as success and failure would be 50/50,” came the words, clear as the wind. At the end of the bridge not too far away stood a brightly elegant Daoist.
Wu Ding said, ”My prince, you woke up quite early. And it appears my knife technique has become your source of humor.”
Shen Lian took one step and was immediately beside Wu Ding. Not even the slightest gust of wind was present, as if Shen Lian did not pass through space or time and immediately appeared at one point from another.
After having experienced Shen Lian's celestial power, Wu Ding had a yearning in his heart.
”The journey of a thousand-miles begins with one step, a terrace with nine-storeys must be built from the bottom up. As long as the path you walk is the correct one, the distance could be levelled by years and months. I walked the same road to reach where I am now. I will not laugh at you.” Shen Lian replied.
Wu Ding mustered a smile. As true as those words may be, not many have lived long enough to reach their destinations, even if the road they set for is the right one. The path of human life is long and not easy. As of now, he could be considered to have profoundly experienced that.
Ever since the day of the palace banquet, the Shang people of Yin Shang received a tremendous amount of oppression, to the point where such oppression spread throughout the whole of Da Xia and the neighboring countries that were obedient to Da Xia. Do not be fooled by his leisurely outlook in the early morning, in actual fact he had to meet many Shang people each day and placate them. Placating them was all that he could do, and as for the situation, there was nothing that could be done about it.
