Junior sister, I really need to control you.

Chapter 83 Magical Cave, Little Fish Mirror Image

At dusk, atop Bamboo Forest Peak, in a bamboo house.

Li Yinsheng leaned back in his recliner, turned the book of formations in his hand to the last page, closed it, and put it back into his Qiankun bag.

On the fifteenth day, I finally finished reading the hundredth book on formations.

Although he has only memorized the contents of these hundred books and has not yet understood them, the harvesting and practice at Huangzhu Temple will end today, and if nothing unexpected happens, this tribulation of cultivation will also be settled.

Li Yinsheng glanced at the golden characters in the cave.

[Current time of spell practice: June 13th, 95th year]

With nearly a hundred years to cultivate magic, if the Go Soul were to continue deducing, it should be able to understand all one hundred books.

In the past few days, in addition to memorizing one hundred books on formations, he has also completed the initial nurturing of the Azure Sword.

Although a few days of nurturing wouldn't significantly enhance the Azure Sword's power, he had now completely refined it into his natal magic weapon, and could easily control and utilize the pure and rich wood element energy within it.

In the past few days, through his exchanges with Master Lang, he has gained a considerable understanding of the Wood element itself.

Then he realized that this wood element energy should be quite useful in nurturing his junior sister.

With the ever-flowing energy of the wood element replenishing her, no matter how diligently she practices, she doesn't have to worry about overdrawing her body.

In the future, when she engages in relatively dangerous combat training that may result in injury, it will also help her recover from her injuries quickly.

and----

This level of wood element energy should also be beneficial to my uncle's body, right?

Li Yinsheng didn't expect the wood element energy of the Azure Sky Sword to completely restore his uncle's cultivation, but it would be good if it could nourish his body and restore some of his strength.

"I'll try it on my uncle tomorrow when I return to the temple," Li Yinsheng thought to himself.

He spread his divine sense and landed on the disciples of Huangzhu Temple on the mountain.

The last batch of Refining Fruits had been harvested, and the disciples who had harvested them returned one after another. The leaders, carrying the storage bags containing the Refining Fruits, flew to the summit to report back to Liang Qiwu.

As the last bag of training materials was handed to Liang Qiwu, a resounding bell rang in Li Yinsheng's mind.

[This tribulation of cultivation has ended. The Lord of the Grotto-Heaven proactively faced and resolved it, demonstrating outstanding performance and making remarkable contributions, turning it into a stepping stone on his cultivation path! This reward grants 13 days and 95 years of magical practice time. Please practice and claim your reward.]

Li Yinsheng's vision suddenly changed, and he appeared in the cave.

He looked around; the bright moon and the lotus lake remained the same, and he was still standing on the white jade platform in the center of the lake.

He was so familiar with the scenery in this cave that he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Although he had used magic in his spare time before, it was only a brief attempt, since the time available to slack off during cultivation was limited.

This seclusion in the grotto is specifically for cultivating magic. This white jade platform is only the size of a pavilion, so using such a small area for practicing magic is rather cramped.

Although he doesn't need a place to land right now, does he have to keep flying in the air to practice his magic techniques?

Just as he frowned, words appeared on the white jade platform.

The master of the grotto can choose the spells they wish to practice and change them at any time.

That's it!

Li Yinsheng suddenly realized, and at the same time, he was impressed that he could change the spell he wanted to practice at any time. It seemed that this cave heaven still had some human touch.

As for which spell to specify, there's no need to worry about that.

His junior sister's Yin-Yang Dividing Light Sword was still far from achieving 128 sword lights, so naturally he had to master it himself first before teaching his junior sister and speeding up the process.

After choosing the Yin-Yang Dividing Light Sword in his heart, the white jade platform beneath his feet trembled slightly and began to expand rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, Baiyutai expanded many times over, resembling an island floating in the middle of a lake.

Li Yinsheng wasn't too surprised that Baiyutai had grown larger. What really widened his eyes was that Mu Xiaoyu's figure suddenly appeared out of thin air a few feet away from him!

She stood motionless in the moonlight, wearing the Taoist robe of Xuanzhen Temple, staring blankly at Li Yinsheng in front of her.

"Junior sister?"

Li Yinsheng was taken aback at first, then realized that the girl in front of him was definitely not his junior sister.

Not to mention that Xiaoyu would never show such an empty expression and look in her eyes.

The girl in front of him, who looked exactly like his junior sister, was motionless, but her aura was not concealed at all, and she was on par with him!

Li Yinsheng quickly realized what was going on.

The Two Elements Dividing Light Sword, a spell used for combat, can be mastered much faster with someone to spar with than by practicing alone.

He had often sparred with his junior sister when she practiced the Yin-Yang Dividing Light Sword.

The girl in front of me, who looks exactly like my junior sister but shows no reaction whatsoever, must be the sparring partner provided by the cave.

Because her junior sister is the master of the cave, the figure accompanying her in sparring is a reflection of herself.

However, the mirror image of the junior sister in front of him seemed to have the same aura and cultivation level as him.

Li Yinsheng tried to suppress his aura and cultivation level, and the aura of his junior sister's image immediately dropped, still exactly the same as his, without any difference.

He stopped suppressing his cultivation, and his junior sister's aura immediately returned.

"Looks like he really is just a sparring partner—"

Li Yinsheng stroked his chin, suddenly becoming serious.

This junior sister's mirror image is exactly the same as his cultivation level, making her arguably the strongest opponent he has ever encountered in his life!

However, this is also good. Only by sparring with an evenly matched opponent can one improve their skills as quickly as possible.

Once he has mastered the Yin-Yang Dividing Light Sword, he can then teach his junior sister to cultivate 128 sword lights as soon as possible!

But this junior sister's image hasn't moved at all. How can I get her to move and practice with me?

As soon as this thought arose in Li Yinsheng's mind, the image of Mu Xiaoyu in front of him raised her hand, and a simple and unadorned longsword appeared in her palm.

At the same time, he felt a weight in his hand as a similar longsword appeared, which he instinctively grasped.

Then he saw his junior sister raise her hand and point, and one hundred and twenty-eight clear, light blue sword lights appeared, each forty or fifty feet long, surrounding him from all directions.

Li Yinsheng's face stiffened.

How could there be 128 sword lights?

He only masters sixty-six sword lights right now!

They have the same cultivation level and the same aura, so why is the number of sword lights different?

There was no time for him to think it over; in the blink of an eye, all 128 sword lights fell toward him in the very center.

Li Yinsheng also unleashed his sword light to defend, and sixty-six sword lights intertwined to form a net, barely creating a small safe area amidst the falling sword light.

However, the sword light reflected by his junior sister was not only nearly twice as numerous as his, but the power of a single sword light was also much greater than his.

In a short while, the defense he had erected with the Yin-Yang Dividing Light Sword was riddled with holes. No matter how he activated his sword techniques, he could not resist the overwhelming force of both quantity and quality.

As Li Yinsheng's defenses collapsed, the falling sword light accelerated three times, as if it would bury and tear him apart in the next moment.

Li Yinsheng released his longsword, channeled his qi and blood, and with a tremor of his fists, unleashed two punches in quick succession, instantly shattering all the sword light that filled the sky.

"Phew, thank goodness I'm a body cultivator." Li Yinsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

A line of golden characters appeared on the white jade platform.

The Lord of the Cave Heaven has chosen "Two-Element Dividing Light Sword" as the spell to practice this time. Please use the Two-Element Dividing Light Sword in battle. Repeatedly using methods other than the designated spell will prematurely end the Cave Heaven's magical challenge.

Li Yinsheng was dumbfounded.

You can freely change the specified spell, but once you specify a spell, are you obligated to use only that spell during practice?

Although it sounds reasonable, the mirror image on the other side, even with the same cultivation level, has a much stronger spellcasting ability than me!

If I can only use the Yin-Yang Dividing Light Sword, won't I just be able to take a beating until I reach a level similar to hers?

Li Yinsheng wanted to file a complaint, but had nowhere to do so.

To avoid being kicked out of the cave, he could only take a deep breath, pick up his longsword again, and face the 128 sword lights reflected in his junior sister's image once more.

The sword light rushed in like a long river, and Li Yinsheng stood before it, raising his sword to meet it.

In the blink of an eye, like a great river colliding with a stream, Li Yinsheng was engulfed by the sword light reflected from his junior sister's image.

It's unclear how much time has passed, but Li Yinsheng's sword light has been honed to one hundred and twenty-seven strikes.

He has lost count of how many injuries he has sustained.

No matter how strong a body cultivator's physique is, it is impossible for them to remain unscathed when faced with the successive attacks of 128 sword lights from a cultivator of the same cultivation level.

The good news is that within this magical cave, his depleted magical power and vital energy will be rapidly restored, and his injuries will heal in the blink of an eye.

The bad news is that the mirror image of the junior sister on the other side is the same.

The worse news is that, just like cultivation caves, this magic cave doesn't allow slacking off.

Although he could pause his practice with a single thought, if the pause lasted even a little too long, the cave would remind him that the practice was about to end, and he would have no choice but to quickly continue letting his junior sister's mirror image attack him.

After countless years of sparring, or rather, being beaten one-sidedly, he felt he had become numb to pain; only his skill with the Two Elements Dividing Light Sword was improving by leaps and bounds.

While his junior sister's 128 sword beams were difficult for him to withstand, his personal experience also provided him with an excellent reference when practicing the Yin-Yang Dividing Light Sword.

-

After painful personal experience and practice, his sword light was finally close to his junior sister!

Although the power of a single sword light increases because the number of Yin-Yang Dividing Light Swords doubles each time, there is still a considerable difference between 127 and 128 sword lights, but at least it is not as powerless as before.

Moreover, he could feel that he was very close to the 128th sword light!

The hard times are finally over!

As a flash of inspiration struck him, Li Yinsheng let out a soft shout and unleashed his sword technique. One more sword light appeared among the 127 sword lights around him, and all the sword lights became three times brighter!

The Yin-Yang Dividing Light Sword has been perfected!

Looking at the 128 sword lights surrounding his junior sister's mirror image, Li Yinsheng let out a long sigh of relief, feeling a surge of heroic spirit within him.

"After being unilaterally beaten by you for so long, now we can finally have a fair fight, junior sister!"

Mu Xiaoyu's reflection still stared blankly at Li Yinsheng, offering no response to his words.

With a flick of his longsword, each sword light behind him split in two. The split sword lights did not become dim, but instead became brighter, and each one became even more powerful!

Two hundred and fifty-six sword lights!
