Chapter 122 - 122: 117: Sword Wind Comprehends Tao Foundation
“Essence of Heaven and Earth, Wind?”
Li Fan’s mind was greatly shaken.
This green figure bore a striking resemblance to the Crimson Flame he saw in his previous life!
The Dao rhyme emanating from its body was clearly the condensation of the Law of Wind.
Even under the scrutiny of Heaven and Earth’s Perception, the irresistible allure of the Essence of Heaven and Earth began eroding Li Fan’s consciousness in an instant.
Despite the unfathomable distance, the perspective of Li Fan’s observation seemed to warp.
Out of his control, his focus shifted from Zhang Haobo to the Green Wind.
Within the Tianxuan Mirror, the consciousness of Li Fan’s Blue Flame Spirit abruptly awoke.
It opened its eyes, staring in the direction where the Green Wind resided.
With his body temperature plunging as if doused with a bucket of cold water, Li Fan’s momentarily overwhelming desire gradually faded.
His mind became starkly cold and rational, allowing him even to quietly observe the extraordinary scene again.
After a long scrutiny of the Green Wind, Li Fan moved his gaze to the black sword handle.
The soaring evil qi was almost substantive, forming a layer of black twisted material, covering the surface of the sword handle.
Beneath the sword handle, a fragment of a broken blade could barely be seen. The black handle seemed to be a living creature, charging madly in the green cage.
Occasionally, it let out terrifying roars, making the green glow fluctuate violently.
However, no matter how it struggled, it couldn’t escape from the green cage.
In this seemingly empty cage, Li Fan faintly noticed the terrifying green qi flows surging continuously.
The qi moved so fast that it exceeded the limit of Li Fan’s current perception.
At first glance, the cage seemed serene.
However, judging from the green glows that occasionally fell into different parts of the Misthaven Ocean, the strength of the storm surging in the cage was unimaginable.
The Green Wind, like a knife, ceaselessly shattered and extinguished the black evil substance on the handle.
This unknown handle, though extraordinarily ferocious,
Was gradually becoming tattered under the Green Wind’s persistent imprisonment and chipping.
“Who would have thought that the Wind Catastrophe rampaging in the
Misthaven Ocean was merely the collateral damage of a struggle between the
Essence of Heaven and Earth and a sword hilt.”
“The power of Unity Realm is indeed fearsome.”
“In my previous life, the Wind Catastrophe ceased to occur. Perhaps it was because the sword hilt was completely eradicated? Or…”
“What is the origin of this Sword? Merely a broken hilt, yet it can compete with the Unity Realm’s Essence of Heaven and Earth for such a long time …”. “If it was at its complete and triumphant period, how strong would it be?”
Thoughts after thoughts flashed through Li Fan’s mind.
Afterward, he turned his gaze to Zhang Haobo.
“The battles at Unity Realm are usually imperceptible to ordinary cultivators.”
“Moreover, they are concealed within this mysterious space…”
Catastrophe and vaguely sense the location of this space,”
“Just by his cultivation at the Energy Refining Stage, there is absolutely no chance for him to enter.”
“Unless …”
In Li Fan’s line of sight, a brilliant blue light enveloped Zhang Haobo.
As if unaffected by the allure from the Essence of Heaven and Earth, Zhang Haobo didn’t even glance at the figure of the Green Wind.
Instead, he fixed his gaze on the cage in his hand.
He observed the struggle between the Green Wind and the sword hilt within the cage.
Under the cover of the blue light, it seemed as if the Green Wind couldn’t see Zhang Haobo at all, ignoring his presence.
It let him perceive from this close distance freely.
“Before reaching Unity Realm, this kind of action is truly like licking blood off a knife’s edge.”
“However, he indeed has something to rely on.”
The familiar blue light revolved constantly, and Li Fan, along with Zhang Haobo, observed the struggle between the Green Wind and the sword hilt.
At the same time, he quietly analyzed.
“The flow of luck is intensifying, increasing Zhang Haobo’s destiny. Here in the Misthaven Ocean, there is a sense of him being the ‘Chosen One’. Everything is accorded to his will, and luck comes his way.” “What a pity..
“Let’s see what his final ending will be.”
“This hidden place, even if I were to reincarnate several times, relying solely on my strength, I might not be able to discover it. But now Zhang Haobo, with great fortune, can find it with ease.”
“Just this Misthaven alone holds countless opportunities. How many secrets are there in the whole Immortal Cultivation World? It’s inefficient for me to explore them alone. To use these geniuses as my eyes and find these treasures for me one by one.”
“I will collect all that is suitable for me in the next life…
“Good.”
His thoughts gradually quieted down, Li Fan focused all his mental energy, together with Zhang Haobo.
Perceiving the struggle between the sword and the wind.
This opportunity was too rare, Li Fan did not want to waste it.
Time passed slowly like this.
For cultivators, it is normal to retreat for several years.
After an unknown number of days, Li Fan was awoken by the sudden flare of blue light from Zhang Haobo.
After a flicker, Zhang Haobo abruptly left the Mysterious Space where the Green Wind and the sword hilt were situated.
Like a falling meteor, he plummeted into the deep sea.
Li Fan was quite familiar with the surging aura around his body.
It was the prelude to a Perfect Energy Cultivator’s breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Phase.
“Hmm?” Li Fan found it strange because the natural treasure that Zhang Haobo was about to use to establish his foundation was different from what he had imagined.
A crisp sword cry rang out all of a sudden.
Like a baby’s first cry, or the first ray of sunlight in the morning.
The chaotic and confused will grow stronger from the moment it’s born.
The sound of the sword cry becomes more and more crisp, more and more passionate.
“Clang! ”
The sword cry reached its peak and abruptly disappeared.
At the same time, in Zhang Haobo’s dantian.
An indistinct, ever-changing Sword Shadow suddenly appeared.
In the dark sea bottom, the sea water around Zhang Haobo was suddenly expelled, creating a spherical area devoid of water.
The Sword Shadow was like a playful and energetic child; it stretched lazily.
Then it flew out from Zhang Haobo’s dantian and frolicked in the blank area around him, flipping and flying.
Li Fan saw it clearly, this Sword Shadow had no physical form. On the contrary, it resembled the Blue Flame Spirit, a pure consciousness.
“Could this be… Sword Intent?”
Li Fan was slightly taken aback.
Because he did not expect that Zhang Haobo, in such a short span of time, would comprehend the Sword Intent by observing the hilt of the sword.
Needless to say, even though he made some gains, he was nowhere near Zhang Haobo’s level of comprehension.
Li Fan could not help but sigh, the difference in natural talents between them is indeed vast.
However, he was filled with joy.
Because Zhang Haobo used this Sword Intent to create a Tao Foundation.
It precisely substantiated Yin Shangren’s theory that “all things in the world can be regarded as unshaped treasures”.
If Sword Intent can be used, so can [Real].
Furthermore, Zhang Haobo’s Foundation Establishment process, using the formless Sword Intent, gave Li Fan plenty of inspiration.
However, in terms of difficulty, establishing the Tao Foundation using [Real] is infinitely more challenging than doing so using Sword Intent. To achieve this goal, Li Fan still had a long way to go..
