“The second stance of the Lancang Sword Technique, Sword Intent to the Sky! Do you know what this Sword Intent through the heavens means?”
Tian Xuanzi turned his head to look at Lin Ran and asked.
“I don’t know!”
Lin Ran shook his head, how could he know.
“Fine! I’ll show you!”
Tianxuanzi said as he grabbed Lin Ran’s back, following which the two of them rushed straight towards the back of the mountain with a single burst of energy.
Lin Ran did not dare to speak, not knowing where Tianxuanzi was taking him, but having already worshipped his master he did not worry that the other party would harm him.
The back mountain of the Sword Immortal Sect was a winding mountain range, and where the sect was located, there were basically all mountains around it, which was for the sake of the sect’s concealment and safety.
After just a few minutes of being led by Tianxuanzi, Lin Ran saw that a huge gorge had actually appeared ahead.
There was also the sound of rumbling water coming from the canyon, which seemed to be the presence of a waterfall.
Without speaking, Tianxuanzi led Lin Ran a short distance further and a huge waterfall appeared in front of them.
The waterfall must have been at least twenty metres high, tilting down from above with such an overwhelming momentum that just listening to the rumbling sound of the water made one feel a palpitation.
“Master, you brought me here?”
Lin Ran looked at Tianxuanzi in confusion, wondering what the connection was between bringing him here and practising the second style of the Lancang Sword Technique, Sword Intent to the Sky.
“I am here to tell you what is Sword Intent through the Heavens!”
Tianxuanzi said, while lifting Lin Ran up and following him, he actually threw him directly towards the bottom of the waterfall.
“Stand under the waterfall, directly below it, where the water is pounding the hardest!”
Tianxuanzi’s voice came out, and Lin Ran was speechless as he listened, so he did as he was told.
The waterfall was twenty metres high, and the force of the water crashing down was very strong.
Even Lin Ran could clearly see that the riverbed below the waterfall had been dented by the water.
There was a raised rock nearby, so Lin Ran touched it without any nonsense, and then mobilised the true qi in his body and stood under the waterfall against the impact of the waterfall on his body.
“Look up at the waterfall!”
Suddenly, Tianxuanzi’s voice rang out again.
Lin Ran had no choice but to do as he was told, only he didn’t know what this master of his wanted.
When he lifted his head, Lin Ran saw the countless streams of water tilting down, fortunately there was true qi around him to resist it, which prevented the water from hitting him, otherwise I was afraid it would be a problem to open his eyes at this point.
However, it seemed that the heavens were playing a joke on him, and as he was thinking in his mind, the voice of Tianxuanzi came from behind him.
“Kid yank all your defences for me, use your own eyes to show me the waterfall, and know that you see the exit above it before you do!”
“I….”
Lin Ran was immediately helpless, but he didn’t dare to say anything, so he could only do as he was told.
“Weng!”
The moment the defences on his body were ripped off, Lin Ran only felt a thousand pounds of water slamming all over his body at once, fortunately he had an extraordinary physique, otherwise I was afraid that the blow just now would have directly smashed him into mush.
Lin Ran’s face was full of water and he kept fiddling with his hands, but this was a waterfall he simply could not wipe the water off his face completely.
Every time he touched it he could have a brief vision, followed by his eyes being left obscured by the water again.
“How is this going to get to the exit above the waterfall?”
Lin Ran muttered in his heart, there were waterfalls flowing everywhere, his vision was blocked and everywhere he looked was water, so how could there be any exit?
However, Tianxuanzi did not speak up and just sat quietly at the side and meditated.
Lin Ran saw this and could not help but feel a little speechless in his heart, this master professor was also a little too irresponsible.
But soon Lin Ran sensed that something was wrong.
Who was Tian Xuanzi, the master of the Sword Immortal Sect, did he have to joke with himself?
Even if he possessed the Lancang Sword Technique, he was still just a small dot in his opponent’s eyes, and he had the strength to crush himself to death with one finger.
Bringing yourself here at night to kill time? To amuse himself? That’s pure bullSh*t!
“There must be a purpose! I just haven’t discovered it yet!”
Lin Ran consoled himself in his heart, Tianxuanzi obviously had his own reasons for letting himself do this, and he probably just didn’t understand his intentions yet.
Thinking of this, Lin Ran stopped being distracted and fixed his gaze dead on the sky, using every time he wiped the water off his cheeks with his palms and the occasional moment when the waterfall’s flow weakened to look towards the top of the waterfall.
Once, twice, three times.
….
Lin Ran didn’t know how long he had been staring and how many times he had looked, but he noticed that the sky around him, which had been dim, had started to brighten up a little.
Unknowingly he had actually been washed by the waterfall for a full night, and the sunrise had already risen from the east.
“Weng!”
Suddenly, just as Lin Ran looked above the waterfall once again, he clearly saw that at the very top of the waterfall, a rainbow had actually appeared.
And underneath the rainbow was the very bank of the waterfall.
There were colourful flowers on the bank of the waterfall, and the scenery was picturesque.
It is a pity that the view is only the size of a palm and the rest of the water is blocked out by the current.
Even the only beautiful view was fleeting, and in the blink of an eye, countless streams of water took over Lin Ran’s sight once again, everywhere he looked.
“See?”
Suddenly, Tianxuanzi’s voice rang out in his ears.
“I see it!”
Lin Ran busily returned.
Tianxuanzi nodded his head, then said.
“Charge up!”
“Charge up?”
The next moment, the waterfall was squeezed out of thin air, and Lin Ran’s figure was like a cannonball pulling towards the top of the waterfall.
Nowadays, he was at the Realm of Enlightenment, so it was not difficult for him to rush up the waterfall.
However, when he reached the waterfall, Tianxuanzi was already standing by the side at some point, looking at him quietly.
“Master! Please also solve the puzzle!”
Lin Ran looked at Tianxuanzi and bowed respectfully, the events of tonight had left him baffled, not understanding exactly what Tianxuanzi meant.
“Sit down and talk!”
Tianxuanzi said and sat down directly on his knees, Lin Ran also followed without any nonsense.
Tianxuanzi looked at Lin Ran and opened his mouth to ask.
“How did you feel when you were just below the waterfall and saw the beauty above this?”
“Very distant!”
Lin Ran said.
At that time, his field of vision was only the size of his palm, and looking at the beautiful view above him was indeed very distant.
“Hmm! What about after coming up at this point?”
Tianxuanzi asked again.
“It feels very close! It’s actually not that far away!”
Lin Ran said truthfully.
Tianxuanzi nodded at his words and said.
“That’s right! This is the second style I’m going to tell you about, the Sword Mind of Sword Intent through the Sky!”
You are like a sword that stands under a waterfall, your strength can be seen as the strength of the sword, when you are not strong, it is impossible for you sword to break through the waterfall flow no matter what.
But when you are strong enough, all the suffering that seems like a big mountain together will no longer be a predicament.
What if you are not strong? What if you need to train from scratch?
There are times when the darkness can be your roadblock. There is never a time when there is no smooth sailing in cultivation, so the darkness is like an underestimation for you.
Sword intent through the sky, why is it called sword intent through the sky, it’s about this sword intent!
If you have undying sword intent in your heart, even the nine heavens of the Milky Way are just embellishments!
Do you get it?
