Embers of Sword

Chapter 39: The Great Dao of the World, No Distinction Between Left and Right

Next three days.

Xie Xuanyi patiently taught Deng Baiyi how to carve a formation——

It has to be said that Deng Baiyi is indeed a genius in the art of formations and talismans.

The first formation he carved was the extremely difficult "Nine-Bright Phoenix Fire Refining Void Formation"!
This large formation requires the use of several different talismans to support it.

Want to complete the final formation.

There was more than one kind of formation and talisman techniques that needed to be learned, and they were quite complicated... But Deng Baiyi made rapid progress and understood them almost immediately.

Xie Xuanyi saw this and was very pleased.

The higher Deng Baiyi's aptitude in the art of talismans, the more it proves that his previous decision was correct.

This unpolished gem of talent shouldn't have followed me in my cultivation.

The most outstanding place in the world for the art of talismans is Taoism and Tianxiazhai.

Three days passed in a flash.

At dusk and sunset.

Deng Baiyi, whose clothes were soaked with sweat, had almost used up the last bit of his energy.

"Finally finished……"

She sat on the lawn at the top of the mountain, her hands supporting the ground, her hair fluttering in the wind, and she murmured softly.

The formation is completed!
At this moment, this mountain top, with a radius of nearly a hundred feet, is covered by the "Nine-Bright Phoenix Fire Refining Void Array".

It took three days and three nights, and she hardly slept a wink.

But at this moment, Deng Baiyi didn't feel tired at all. Just as she finished the final formation ceremony, Jiang Huang cooperated by squeezing out a drop of blood from her fingertips. As this drop of blood spread in the center of the formation pattern, Deng Baiyi, who was holding the "Phoenix Fire Main Formation Talisman Paper", suddenly felt that she had entered an unprecedented mysterious realm!
Every inch of soil here seems to be under her control.

She could feel every breeze that passed by.

You can also feel every blade of grass that falls.

With just a thought, this formation can be activated...

She is the absolute master of this world!
"Is this... a formation?"

The first time to carve a formation, the first time to form a formation, the first time to control a formation.

Deng Baiyi was immersed in the feeling of being in control, intoxicated. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of an unprecedented stunning figure.

Xie Xuanyi stood on the top of the hill.

He changed his clothes.

No longer a white dress as clean as snow.

Black clothes, black clothes.

For the past twenty years or so, he has mostly worn black.

The previous sword [Chen Yan] was also a dark sword.

At that time, many people in Da Chu said that wherever Xie Xuanyi was, it was like a long night, because he was often dressed in a solemn and dark color.

And every time he drew his sword, it was like the cold light of dawn.

Perhaps because he had "died once", Xie Xuanyi's skin color was whiter than in his previous life, and even looked a little pale against the black clothes, but this also created a more striking contrast.

After nearly half of the acupoints were ignited, Xie Xuanyi's qi and blood gradually returned to normal levels.

Now, his eyes are filled with the brilliance of wind and thunder, his lips are red and his teeth are white. If he were not wearing the human skin mask, people would be unable to take their eyes away.

At least Deng Baiyi didn't look away for a moment.

She had never seen such a handsome boy.

"There is a famous saying in the spiritual world."

Xie Xuanyi suddenly spoke up: "The bigger the fist, the greater the truth... Many people have misunderstood this sentence to mean that when two cultivators meet, the one with the lower realm will always be inferior. But it is not like that. There should be another half sentence after this sentence: The sky is big, the earth is big, but being alive is the greatest."

Deng Baiyi was slightly startled.

“The one with the biggest fists may not necessarily survive to the end.”

Xie Xuanyi lowered his eyelids and said softly, "Sometimes, a life-and-death duel requires more than just fists. Flying swords, magic weapons, poisons, array patterns, talismans, mechanical arts... The cultivation world is very cruel. In order to survive, any means are acceptable. This is why there are so many shameful evil cultivators in Southern Xinjiang. They are dirty, despicable and shameless, but they live better than many people."

Deng Baiyi's eyes were somewhat bewildered. "Many righteous people, who claim to be noble, disdain to use 'unorthodox methods' or 'conspiracies and tricks'."

Xie Xuanyi laughed at himself and said, "People like this usually don't have a good ending. The more arrogant you are, the easier it is for others to plot against you. You must remember not to be such a fool. Even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit... There is nothing shameful in using the art of talismans and arrays to fight the enemy."

Deng Baiyi nodded in confusion, she still understood this principle.

Lose face or lose your life?
Survival is the truth!
But she didn't quite understand why Xie Zhen suddenly said this to her.

"I'm going to go out for a while. If everything goes well, just like in Tai'an City, I'll be back soon. In this case, there's no need for this formation."

Xie Xuanyi paused and said, "But if things don't go well... I might be in a bit of a mess when I come back."

Deng Baiyi suddenly became nervous.

She tightly grasped the main array talisman in her palm.

"Although the Nine Bright Phoenix Fire Refining Void Formation has unparalleled killing power, it also has shortcomings... The range of this formation is limited. If someone detects it in advance and does not enter this formation, even if the killing power is overwhelming, it will be useless."

Xie Xuanyi looked solemn as he spoke word by word, "So I want you to stay calm and wait until the prey is hooked before you start the battle!"

Deng Baiyi gritted his teeth and asked, "Is the enemy this time so strong? Even you are not sure?"

These days, she has already understood the general realm of cultivation.

After controlling the Qi, there is the cave heaven——

It turns out that the cultivator in the Cave Heaven Realm is Xie Zhen, and he also needs to rely on formation patterns to deal with it?

Deng Baiyi's words made Xie Xuanyi smile silently.

He shook his head and uttered three words softly: "... all is past."

Deng Baiyi heard a hint of helplessness in these three words.

More often than not, I feel indifferent.

"Remember what I just told you? Many years ago, I was just that kind of an idiot."

Xie Xuanyi said softly: "Knowing a little about swordsmanship, I thought I was great. Relying on a flying sword, I didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was. I thought the world was big and I was the greatest. Now I know how wrong I was at that time."

He stretched his muscles gently.

After being poured with the Immortal Fountain, the tendons and bones burst out with crackling sounds like frying beans, and the golden vitality was ignited in the major orifices, shining like sparks in the dark night, incomparably bright.

next moment.

Along with Xie Xuanyi's long sigh, the golden energy boiling in the big orifice gradually extinguished.

He completely disappeared into the darkness.

Black clothes, black robe, and an ordinary black sword bought in Lichao City.

Xie Xuanyi took out the human skin mask and slowly pressed it on his cheek.

That extremely handsome face suddenly became ordinary.

"Hey!"

A nervous voice sounded on the hill.

Deng Baiyi tightly grasped the talisman and spoke in a very low voice, almost inaudible like a mosquito or fly: "Xie Zhen... I'll wait for you here..."

"You, please be careful..."

Xie Xuanyi waved his hand and took a step forward.

His figure fell like a leaf.

Close your eyes.

The wind howled.

Master's teachings appeared in my mind again.

[“…The great principles of the world are not divided into left and right.”]

[…There is no such thing as high or low in the world.]

[“Xuan Yi, the path that sword cultivators can understand is not necessarily limited to the path of swordsmanship.”]
