"…Master told me he had no hopes of becoming a Sword Immortal in his lifetime, so he wanted me to carry on the torch for him." Hearing Shu Yidan's explanation, Xiaoyi slowly said.
"Your Master is half-step Void Refining. He only has half a step to cross to enter Void Refining and he has 60 years to cross this half step. As long as he can cross this one step, he will gain longevity beyond thousands of years." Shu Yidan's calm tone was reassuring to Xiaoyi.
"…That's why, I can't slow down either. If I can quickly raise my strength, I'll have the chance to battle for resources to help master cross that one step…" With a determined tone, Xiaoyi said breathily.
Shu Yidan couldn't help but praise the Sect Master's luck for getting such a good disciple. At the same time, he couldn't help but think of his own disciple in the Immortal Realm. Having inherited his meager holdings, she should be clawing her way up in the Eight Trigram Sect, trying to gain more resources for her ascent…
"Senior apprentice brother, do you think my disposition will be too much of a problem? I can't help but act meatheadedly…" Xiaoyi said in a worrying tone.
"It isn't a problem at all, and can even be said to be a blessing." Shu Yidan's reply brought Xiaoyi's mouth to gape in surprise. "You have the will to battle, and moreover you have the will to battle those stronger than you! Do you think that in this world of cultivation, one can gain strength by bullying those weaker and fleeing from those stronger?"
Saying these words, Shu Yidan couldn't help but think, 'The ones bullying those weaker and fleeing from those stronger… well, they didn't gain strength but at least they kept their lives…'
"That's right! Master admonished me a lot about my reckless battle tendencies, but he was wrong and you are right! The path to strength lies in challenging the stronger and murdering the superiors!" As if she had understood a truth of the universe, Xiaoyi recited the line of a classic xianxia protagonist.
"Well, since you are so resolved, you'll need a good defensive technique so that you don't die in one hit and a good escaping technique so that you can flee after taking one hit…" Hearing Shu Yidan's words, Xiaoyi brought her tongue out in a gesture meant to be cute.
"A good defensive technique, a good escaping technique, attacking techniques utilizing Essence, Qi and Spirit and a Domain Technique. Oh, and we can't forget Sword Techniques… Xiaoyi, you've put senior brother in quite a conundrum." Shu Yidan's tone was indifferent as ever, but Xiaoyi couldn't help but scratch her head.
"Well, Senior Sister Rengxue… Can you get all the books fitting this description?" Shu Yidan requested.
"Do you want the scriptures suited to Qi Refining cultivators, or…" Mu Rengxue narrowed her eyebrows. Even then, the amount of scriptures would be ridiculously large!
"Naturally not, I want all of them." Mu Rengxue couldn't help but feel that his cool tone was teasing her.
"As you wish!" As she said those words, the clear space surrounding Shu Yidan seemed to multiply. And then, around a hundred bookshelves and a thousand loose books arranged into piles surrounded that space!
"Rengxue, can you go stand away for a bit? Xiaoyi, come stand beside me." Hearing this, Mu Rengxue snorted at Shu Yidan calling her by name yet dutifully backed away.
Mu Rengxue looked at Shu Yidan and Xiaoyi beside him with challenge in her eyes. "Let's see how you…-" Just then, her retort was taken back halfway when she noticed Shu Yidan's hands raised straight in front of him, his fingers dancing as if playing a zither.
As he tapped his fingers in the air, inky black lines appeared before him. Some of them continuous and straight, some of them broken and spaced, these lines were born from Shu Yidan's fingers and surrounded him.
Both Xiaoyi and Mu Rengxue knew these lines… they symbolized Yin and Yang, coming together to form the Eight Trigrams and Sixty-four Hexagrams.
Of the Eight Trigrams, the Heavenly Wind Sect had inherited the Two Trigrams of Heaven and Wind in completion and gained the incomplete legacies of the other Six Trigrams! However, comprehending the Eight Trigrams and forming the Eight Qi comprised the basics of cultivation for all disciples!
Shu Yidan's Golden Core cultivation base was at its peak, and so he could only take time to control a miniscule amount of energy to form these black lines. However, line after line came forth and as the energy congregating to form his cultivation base reduced, the amount of energy he could control rose…
Upon the white floor, a number of ritualistic symbols and shapes began forming. Shu Yidan flicked his finger and a number of paper talismans covered the ground. What seemed like a vast spell formation suddenly came forth…
"Dandan, what are you doing?" Mu Rengxue asked in concern.
"Of course, I am casting an array to deduce the best techniques for our dear Xiaoyi's foundation! Eight Trigrams Arcane Divination Array, come forth!" An infinite number of continuous and broken black lines seemed to come forth, and immediately covered the books and the bookshelves in a gray dome of black lines!
For a moment, Shu Yidan and Xiaoyi disappeared from view, until Shu Yidan flashed to stand beside Mu Rengxue. "Well, I have done my best to lay down this array. Rengxue, can you help me set the Fengshui so that the geomantic aura of this place will come forth to bring Xiaoyi good fortune?"
Shu Yidan had called Mu Rengxue by her given name twice. The first time she snorted, but seeing the spectacle he had brought forth she seemed to decide he was worthy enough.
A stream of Divine Sense shot forth, and Mu Rengxue was given a list of alterations for the Scripture Hall. With one thought, the area within the Scripture Hall began transforming!
This was a feature of nearly all of the important buildings within the Heavenly Wind Sect. They could be freely transformed and the power of geomancy could be freely controlled!
The Eight Trigrams Arcane Divination Array began glowing and the broken and continuous black lines that had created it began merging together. Finally, the array became a dome that flickered between black and white colors like a bulb…
"The geomantic aura is fully being channeled… The array will require only eight minutes to start its divination. I've done all I can, so everything else depends on Xiaoyi's luck…" Saying this with a solemn tone, he thought about the past timeline. Would this help her surpass the tribulation that would await her?
