Chapter 12: Hand in Hand, Spinning Around

Page 1/3

Just as she was indulging in pleasant thoughts, a sharp pain surged through her dantian. Were it not for her recently increased tolerance to pain, she would have surely fainted. Focusing intently, she nearly lost her breath in shock!

She saw the newly grown Fire Spirit Root clashing fiercely with the already existing Wood Spirit Root! Soon after, the Water Spirit Root joined the fray. The three roots twisted together into a tangled braid.

Feng Xi roared angrily, “Stop it! All of you, stop right now!” Her voice was loud but utterly ineffective. The three spirit roots ignored her completely and fought even more vigorously.

Calming herself, Feng Xi said coldly, “Fight all you want! Better if you shatter my dantian. Then I’ll be free, and you’ll perish with me!”

The three spirit roots paused their struggle for a moment, then… linked hands and spun around in a circle.

Feng Xi was speechless.

Damn it! What a bunch of drama queens!

I probably screwed over the entire galaxy in my past life to deserve such a troublesome fate this time!

Putting aside her complaints, Feng Xi noticed that with the appearance of the Fire Spirit Root, the frequency of her fainting during cultivation had significantly decreased. This meant her dantian’s injuries were healing, and the meridians inside her body were stabilizing.

She secretly tried the simplest cleansing spell and felt no discomfort at all.

She was practically overjoyed!

Tremble, world of cultivation!

The Light of the Xuanyuan Sect is about to shine!

Feeling good, she wanted to share her excitement with someone.

So, she went to chat with the Golden-Furred Suanni.

“Hey, Golden Fur, have you missed me?”

The golden-furred beast’s eyes were bloodshot. Miss me? I want you dead!

It had kept silent about the last time it was tricked into kneeling because it couldn’t bear to lose face.

“Tsk tsk, look at you, so pathetic. I only tricked you twice, is that enough for you to hold a grudge?”

“This time, I’m here just to… show off. You just be my audience!”

Saying that, Feng Xi formed a flame gesture, and a little flame flickered on her fingertip, dancing as if performing.

“How’s that? Fun, right?

This is just a small trick. I have many more powerful moves!

Golden Fur, you’re truly honored!

You get to witness the rise of the Light of the Xuanyuan Sect…”

The Golden-Furred Suanni was silent.

You seem crazy!

But didn’t everyone say this stubborn girl’s dantian was damaged and she couldn’t use spiritual power?

How could she use spells?

Seeing the golden-furred beast’s wide eyes staring at her, Feng Xi felt a surge of pride.

“Golden Fur, I heard your cultivation has been regressing. Is that true?”

The Suanni immediately yowled, as if someone had stepped on its tail repeatedly.

This was its deepest pain! An eternal wound!

Other spiritual beasts’ cultivation improved with age. But it? It was getting worse and worse, regressing steadily.

It had once reached the early Divine Transformation stage but now had degenerated back to the mid Nascent Soul stage.

If it kept declining, it wouldn’t even have the face to stay in the Xuanyuan Sect.

Just as it wallowed in sorrow, the little girl in front of it said mysteriously,

“Golden Fur, I have a way to improve your cultivation. Want to hear it?”

The Suanni’s first thought was that Feng Xi was talking nonsense.

Even Xiao Baidao couldn’t help it. How could a worthless snack like her have a solution?

“Golden Fur, do you think I’m lying?

Am I that kind of person?

I’m the kindest person! I feel bad about tricking you twice before.

So I want to make it up to you.

Of course, if you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do. Just pretend I said nothing!

Anyway, I have something to do now. Bye!”

Feng Xi turned to leave, but the Suanni panicked and howled loudly.

She glanced back, “You want to hear it?”

The beast hesitated, then nodded.

Feng Xi smiled brightly, “Golden Fur, the law isn’t given lightly. If I just told you easily, you wouldn’t cherish it. I need to see your sincerity.

How about this: in half a month, the Tianhen Secret Realm will open. You carry me there!”

The Suanni was speechless.

You want me to be your mount?

Crazy!

Absolutely crazy!

Feng Xi wasn’t crazy; she just wanted to look cool!

She didn’t want to be known as a useless nobody forever. She wanted a dazzling debut, letting everyone know Feng Xi was a genius reborn from the ashes!

Just as the Suanni was about to roar in anger, Feng Xi had already turned and walked away.

“I’ll give you a few days to think it over. Decide and tell me your answer.

Remember, a loser has no dignity, no face!”

Just as Feng Xi left the beast stable, she ran into Jun Wen.

This was their first meeting since their last quarrel.

Jun Wen felt awkward, wanting to say something but unsure what, thinking of leaving but feeling it would be inappropriate.

Unexpectedly, the little girl smiled brightly and said, “Fifth Senior Brother, I want to visit the East Peak. Could you take me there on your sword?”

Jun Wen was stunned, then hurriedly nodded, “Sure, sure, sure!”

He summoned his flying sword and carried Feng Xi toward the East Peak.

His heart was tumultuous. After their last quarrel, he reflected and realized he had been somewhat harsh.

But he couldn’t bring himself to apologize.

Unexpectedly, the little junior sister was the one to initiate conversation, and with a smile at that.

She was definitely giving him a way out. How considerate! How kind!

And actually, the little junior sister was quite pretty, just a bit thin.

Now, what should he say?

While he was pondering, Feng Xi smiled and asked,

“Fifth Senior Brother, your treasured sword looks really nice. Does it have a name?”

Jun Wen quickly replied, “Yes, it’s called ‘Earthshaker.’”

Feng Xi thought, Earthshaker? I shake the earth too!

That name was so melodramatic!

Yet she said aloud, “Oh, that’s a beautiful name! Sounds really powerful!”

Jun Wen beamed proudly, “Of course! I carefully chose that name!

Only that name suits it. You don’t know, I nearly lost half my life in the Ten Thousand Sword Wall to earn its recognition…”

After his enthusiastic explanation, Feng Xi curiously asked,

“Fifth Senior Brother, I’ve only been at the Xuanyuan Sect a short time. Though I’ve heard of the Ten Thousand Sword Wall, I don’t fully understand. Could you tell me more?”

“Of course! The Ten Thousand Sword Wall is the sect’s treasured artifact. Legend says the founding master sealed three thousand spirit swords there, and those with destiny may obtain them.

Any inner sect disciple can try, but at their own risk.

Because the wall seals not only three thousand spirit swords but also thousands of sword energies. To gain a sword’s approval, one must pass the sword energy trial.

Each sword has different sword energies and amounts. Though weaker than true sword energies, they’re still very fierce. A slight mistake can cause injury or even death.

When I obtained Earthshaker, I faced two sword energies—the Swift Sword Energy and the Hammer Sword Energy—and almost lost my life…”

Feng Xi listened attentively. In fact, the other three major sects also had similar Ten Thousand Sword Walls, left behind by their founders.

While Jun Wen kept talking, Feng Xi suddenly said with a smile,

“Fifth Senior Brother, let’s not go to East Peak. Can you take me to the Ten Thousand Sword Wall instead?

Don’t worry, I’ll just take a distant look.”
