This girl was dreaming about good things, when suddenly a wave of severe pain came from her dantian. If not for the fact that her tolerance for pain had multiplied recently, she would've fainted on the spot.
She focused her gaze, and almost died from anger!
The newly grown fire spiritual root was fighting with the original wood spiritual root!
Very quickly, the water spiritual root joined the battle as well.
All three spiritual roots twisted together into… a braided rope.
Feng Xi roared, "Stop! All of you stop right now!"
Her voice was loud, but unfortunately, completely useless.
The three spiritual roots treated her like air and fought even harder!
At this moment, Feng Xi calmed down instead, and said coldly, "Fine, go ahead and fight! Fight as hard as you want! You better smash my dantian into pieces too, and then I'll be freed. You'll all die along with me!"
The movements of the three spiritual roots froze for a second, and then… twirled around hand-in-hand.
Feng Xi: "…"
Damn it!
A bunch of drama queens!
She must've wronged the entire galaxy in her previous life to encounter all this nonsense in her current one!
Complaints aside, Feng Xi soon discovered that with the appearance of the fire spiritual root, her frequency of fainting during cultivation noticeably decreased.
That meant her dantian injury was improving, and her meridians were also more stable than before.
She secretly tried the simplest cleansing technique, there was no discomfort at all.
This girl nearly laughed herself silly!
Tremble before me, cultivation world!
The light of Xuantian Sect was about to descend!
Feeling happy, she wanted to share it with someone.
So she went to chat with the Golden Maned Suanni.
"Little Golden Fur, did you miss me?"
The Golden Maned Suanni's eyes were blood-red. Miss you? I want you dead!
It hadn't told anyone about being tricked into kneeling last time because it was too humiliating!
"Tsk tsk, look at your useless face. Didn't I just trick you twice? Must you hold such a grudge?
This time I came especially to… show off. Just be a spectator!"
Feng Xi made a sign, and a small flame blossomed on her fingertip, jumping and dancing.
"How is it? Fun, right?
This is just a little warm-up. I have lots of big moves!
Little Golden Fur, you're so honored.
You're witnessing the rise of the light of Xuantian Sect!"
Golden Maned Suanni: "…"
You seem to be sick!
But, weren't they saying this brat had a damaged dantian and couldn't use spiritual power?
Why could she cast a technique?
Feng Xi saw the Golden Maned Suanni's round eyes widen and her sense of accomplishment skyrocketed.
"Little Golden Fur, I heard your cultivation has been regressing. Is that true?"
The Golden Maned Suanni instantly howled, like its tail had been stepped on.
This was its pain! Its eternal pain!
Other spiritual beasts improved with age, but it? The longer it lived the more useless it became. It's cultivation consistently dropping.
It had originally already reached early Soul Transformation Stage, but had fallen all the way back to mid-Nascent Soul.
If it fell any further, it would be too ashamed to laze around in Xuantian Sect.
While drowning in sorrow, it suddenly heard the girl say mysteriously, "Little Golden Fur, I have a way to increase your cultivation. Want to hear it?"
The Golden Maned Suanni's first thought was that Feng Xi was talking nonsense!
Even Xiao Baidao had no solution, how could this useless brat?
"Little Golden Fur, you think I'm lying?
Am I that kind of person?!
I'm the kindest person! I tricked you twice before and I always felt guilty.
So I want to make it up to you.
Of course, if you don't believe me, then forget it. Just pretend I said nothing.
Anyway, I have something to do so I'll be leaving!"
Feng Xi turned around and was about to leave. The Golden Maned Suanni panicked and howled urgently.
Feng Xi turned back, "You want to listen?"
The Golden Maned Suanni hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Feng Xi smiled sweetly, "Little Golden Fur, secret techniques cannot be taught lightly. If I just told you, you won't treasure it. I need to see your sincerity.
How about this, half a month from now when the Tianhen Secret Realm opens, carry me there!"
Golden Maned Suanni: "…"
You want me to be your mount?
Insane!
Completely insane!
But Feng Xi wasn't insane, she just wanted to...look cool!
She didn't want to be labeled a useless waste forever. She wanted a stunning entrance, so everyone would see Feng Xi's rebirth as a genius!
Just as the Golden Maned Suanni was about to roar in anger, Feng Xi had already turned to leave, "I'll give you a few days to think. When you figure it out, come tell me your answer.
Remember, wastes have no dignity and no face!"
Just as Feng Xi left the beast enclosure, she bumped into Jun Wen.
This was the first time they met after their argument.
Jun Wen was uncomfortable. He wanted to say something, but didn't know what. He wanted to turn away, but thought it would be inappropriate.
Unexpectedly, the little girl smiled and said, "Fifth Senior Brother, I want to visit East Peak.
Can you take me there on your flying sword?"
Jun Wen froze, then quickly nodded, "Yes! Yes! Yes!"
He summoned his flying sword and carried Feng Xi toward the East Peak.
Jun Wen was extremely anxious. After their last fight, he'd reflected and realized he had indeed gone too far.
But he couldn't lower his pride to apologize.
Unexpectedly, Little Junior Sister spoke first and even smiled at him.
She must be offering him a step to come down. How considerate!
Little Junior Sister is really kind!
And she was actually quite pretty. Just a bit skinny.
But what should he say now?
As he struggled, Feng Xi smiled, "Fifth Senior Brother, your sword looks great. Does it have a name?"
Jun Wen immediately replied, "It does. It's called Heaven-Shaker."
Feng Xi thought, Heaven-Shaker? I could call mine Earth-Mover!
One look and it screamed chuunibyou!
But she said aloud, "Wow, what a nice name! Sounds powerful!"
Jun Wen puffed up proudly, "Of course! I chose this name with great care!
Only this name matches it. You don't know how I nearly lost half my life on Wan Jian Wall before it recognized me…"
After his long speech, Feng Xi curiously asked, "Fifth Senior Brother, I haven't been here long and only heard about Wan Jian Wall. I don't really understand it. Can you explain?"
"Of course I can! Wan Jian Wall is our Xuantian Sect's heirloom treasure. Legends say that the founding ancestor sealed three thousand spiritual swords inside. Anyone fated may earn one.
All inner sect disciples can try, but must bear the consequences.
Because aside from sealed swords, the wall also contains thousands of sword intents.
To earn a sword's recognition, you must withstand its sword intent's test.
The sword intents differ per sword. Even though they're weaker than real sword intent, they're still terrifying. A bit of carelessness, and you're injured, if you mess up badly, you can end up dead.
When I claimed Heaven-Shaker, I faced two sword intents, the Sword of Swiftness and the Sword of Hammering. I almost lost half my life…"
Feng Xi listened seriously. Actually, the other three sects also had similar divine sword walls. They're all left behind by the founding ancestors.
Jun Wen was mid-brag when Feng Xi suddenly said, "Fifth Senior Brother, let's not go to East Peak. Can you take me to see Wan Jian Wall instead?
Don't worry, I'll only look from afar."
