Chapter 179: You Have the Personality of a Cloud, and the Intention of the Wind

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Biyun was one of Ziling Fairy’s disciple. She was also the teacher of Gu Caiwei. Gu Caiwei took in Shen Lian as a student on behalf of Biyun, with the intention to pass on Taixu Strategy to him.

Yanxu played a huge role in Biyun’s death.

She had reached the stage of Huandan in Taixu Strategy. A successful assassination could only be achieved if it was executed by someone with extremely close relations with her, which was Yanxu.

Yanxu did not obtain the secret of Taixu Strategy from Biyun, because he was not powerful enough then. In addition, Biyun was the only one other than Grandmaster Qingshui and Ziling Fairy which had to achieve Huandan in Taixu Strategy.

A lot of people had high hopes for her – that it was more likely for her to be enlightened instead of Zhang Ruoxu.

Unfortunately, in order to be enlightened, one had to have all three; talent, opportunity, and destiny.

Biyun was one of the first to realize that Yanxu was training “Free Form Incarnation”. She rarely made mistakes in her life, but the one major mistake she made was to fall in love with him.

Yanxu always thought of himself as someone cold-hearted, even though he was nice to the others from the same sect.

Ever since he started training Free Form Incarnation, he had gone through many methods to plant the seed of evil in his fellow men from the same sect. In the beginning, he was merely satisfied with that, but later as he found out that he could turn them into his incarnations, a crazy thought surfaced. He would turn everyone in the sect into his incarnations.

Till then, while there were many people in the whole of Qing Xuan, they were all, in fact, only one individual. It could be fun.

His only thought was that it would be interesting.

Unlike the others in the same sect, who perceived cultivation as a single state of mind where one was not swayed by temptations, and hence could become one with the heaven and earth, Yanxu treated cultivation as a mere means. He understood how others thought about cultivation, but he was not willing to take the path of a poverty-stricken cultivator or to just focus on cultivation.

For him, the power that came along with cultivation, longevity, and the ability to achieve all kinds of impossibilities were the reasons why he chose to pursue the path of cultivation. There were too many things in life which could command his attention. There were countless discoveries in the universe which were waiting to be discovered. All these things were much more attractive to him than to just feel himself improving day by day through cultivation.

Biyun was attracted to him because he was different from the other cultivators. Most cultivators had only Dao in their hearts, except for Yanxu. He had a longing for something else, and it gave Biyun an entirely different feeling.

Furthermore, Yanxu was a real genius. He learned everything at a faster pace than others and he could do them better. He was able to understand most methods and grasp the essence of it in an extremely short period of time.

He was even known as the ‘collector of Daoist scriptures’.

Shen Lian had helped a lot of people in the sect to understand cultivation, but Yanxu had done them too, and he did it better than Shen Lian.

There was a period where Qing Xuan was blooming with many talented students, and Yanxu played a huge role in this.

It was what Biyun admired about him, and hence was the reason why she did not expect him to be cold-hearted.

To him, whatever that had happened in the past meant nothing. He only had a sudden flashback of what happened in the past.

Qingxiao’s cold voice was heard in the sea of bamboo, “Have you had enough of reminiscing?”

Yanxu looked at Qingxiao’s beautiful but cold figure, and laughed, “Aunt-Master, people often said that before you die, your entire life will flashback before you. It seems to be true.”

Qingxiao peered at him, without any feeling in her heart. A sword aura was let out and all of a sudden, everything was seemingly covered by a thin layer of ice. Nothing could move, except for the endless sword aura.

The sea of bamboos formed by Jingzhu had a huge effect on Yanxu, especially after he lost some of his Primordial Spirit. He lost his ability to shapeshift as he pleased.

Yanxu could clearly see the sword aura coming.

From the blended shadow of Qingxiao with the sword aura, he could almost see Biyun from years before.

The Master-Student pair was similar, but the main difference was that Qingxiao was decisive and cold. Once she made a decision, she would not change her mind.

The void had turned into something similar to water, which invoked the sound of vibration.

It was a swordcraft known as “One Sword to Break the Void”. If there were any Heavenly Nations or place of enlightenment formed by the deists, they would be shattered to dust in no time.

His Free Form Incarnation was not at its peak yet, but under the sword aura, even if Yanxu broke out of dimensions, he could not escape from the sword aura.

Free Form Incarnation was a technique that made use of the power of the heart and soul heavily, which could allow one to go through different dimensions. However, as the sword art had the ability to break the dimensions, he could run to nowhere.

The coldness of Qingxiao’s sword reached ahead of the sword aura. Yanxu could no longer bear any thought, and he simply allowed the sword aura to pierce through the area in between his brows. He was turned into ice and was shattered into dust.

Qingxiao did not pay attention to the dust, but she looked at her own shadow. It looked as though it was covered with blood.

She did not look disappointed or sad. Instead, she pierced at her own shadow, as if she cut out a part of herself. The shadow broke out from her feet and moved at an incredible speed towards the moon in order to escape.

The sword aura followed the shadow closely as if it was its other shadow.

All of a sudden, with uncountable attacks of the sword aura, the thin blood shadow started to fade, until nothing remained but the moonlight.

The moonlight disappeared abruptly and a shadow was hovering above the seas of bamboos.

Qingxiao did not have the time to judge if she had eliminated Yanxu completely, but instead, she looked up to the sky.

It was a mountain in the sky. A mountain that was about a thousand feet high. It was falling down because there was nowhere to go.

The following lyrics could be heard from the sky:

“You have the personality of a cloud, and the intention of a wind;

You can never be found because you can be ay any corner.

When the sun rises in the east sea and the moon can be seen,

you are facing the north sea and riding the dragon;

You cut through the sight to understand the self,

and you intend to hike the mountains far away;

You could kick a cauldron, you don’t belong in the three worlds or the five elements.”

As the mountain fell, the sea of bamboos was destroyed and Qingxiao was buried underneath.

The mountain shook and a roaring sound followed. There was a hole all the way from the base to the mid-section of the mountain – a sword aura escaped from the hole. It tried to pierce through the sky but was blocked by a golden light. The sword aura did not intend to fight further, as it could not hit the target at one shot, it went away.

There was only Qingxiao’s voice that remained, “Taiyue Real Shape Incantation, Daoist Dengfeng, one day I will charge to Mount Taicang, and eliminate the whole of Guangqing!”
