My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 690: Chapter 656: The Sword Reaches Its Extreme, the Momentum Reverses

By then, Shuo Feng seems to have fully mastered the Divine Wonder Sword. From start to finish, there was never a situation where he lost control.

But unlike now, back then, when facing Su Xiaomei’s continuous attacks, Shuo Feng was purely defensive and never took the initiative to attack.

“Rays of white light reflected the enemy’s attacks back in full force. Even surpassing the original power of the opponent’s moves.”

“The characteristics are exactly like the Wood Sword. So it’s incapable of launching an attack…”

Li Fan seemed to understand why Shuo Feng was unable to fully control the [Sword.]

After thinking about it, let alone the opponent finally needed to comprehend it on his own, it would be better for him to do a favor.

So he stared at the Wood Sword in Shuo Feng’s hand, slightly frowning: “By common sense, with your extraordinary talent, even if it’s the legendary Divine Wonder, it’s unlikely to be uncontrollable.”

Shuo Feng agreed wholeheartedly, nodded, and replied: “I have many questions about this too.”

Li Fan meditated for a moment and seemed to realize something: “I have a guess, but I don’t know if it’s right.”

“Oh? Feel free to speak.” Shuo Feng replied politely, his eyes flashing with surprise, although he didn’t believe Li Fan would have any profound insights.

“The sword is an instrument of slaughter. Ancient sword cultivators were good at beheading people from thousands of miles away; a single sword can overthrow myriad techniques. The Law of the Sword has incarnated into gold, jade, stone in the world, but why is it a Wood Sword?”

Li Fan raised a question, causing Shuo Feng to frown and his expression to become serious.

“I have heard that among the ancient sects of sword cultivation, the disciples would only use wooden swords for purely observational matches, without any consideration of winning or losing. Therefore…”

Li Fan paused and solemnly continued: “I believe the [Sword] is the ultimate expression of swordsmanship in the world, following the principle: extremes meet. Therefore all traits of worldly swords are reversed in the Divine Wonder [Sword].”

“Non-killing becomes killing, seeking defeat becomes victory. The goal is to win without attacking, invincibility lies in not moving!”

Li Fan’s words were like a booming bell in a tranquil valley or a thunderclap on a clear day, leaving Shuo Feng frozen on the spot.

His eyes suffused with a strange light, he began to reevaluate the wooden sword in his hand, as if he had entered some mysterious state.

He stood as still as a statue, murmuring something under his breath.

“It seems that he was just a step away from understanding, and my words helped him suddenly comprehend it,” Li Fan said quietly, using the Mystic Bird Divine Technique to observe Shuo Feng.

He saw a violet smoke column rising up, swirling without dispersing, like a spiral tornado. It was undoubtedly a sign of major good fortune, slightly weaker than Xu Ke’s.

The smoke column was strong and immovable, not affected by external elements, not even by the Absorption Domain of the statue of Han Yi.

“Right, without great fortune, how would one be able to achieve such a good reincarnation? What other cultivators could hardly attain in an entire lifetime, he has never lacked from the moment he was born.” Seeing Shuo Feng’s shocking fortune, Li Fan couldn’t help but sigh.

“In the Xuanhuang World, it’s rare for two Unity Immortal Monarchs to choose to have offspring.” Li Fan could only envy, recalling the rumors about Shuo Feng and his mother.

It was said that the Frostive Immortal, realizing she had no hope of attaining Immortality, chose to place her hopes on her descendant. To nurture the best offspring, she chose the old-fashioned but effective method of seeking a match through combat.

If any Unity Path Expert could defeat her, he could become her Dao companion. To become an Integration Cultivator, one has to be a genius amongst geniuses. The fusion of two superior bloodlines, coupled with the resources and development provided by both parents, might give birth to another Immortal Expert in the world.

When the news spread, the world was shaking. Countless cultivators, eager for a spectacle, wanted to witness a battle among Integration Cultivators. However, the result was disappointing.

Very few answered the call across the world, and only after almost a year did an Integration Cultivator come to challenge her. He eventually failed.

Many cultivators then understood that there weren’t that many Integration Cultivators in the Xuanhuang World and achieving unity is not easy. Absent some special circumstances, who would easily give up the ultimate objective of attaining Immortality?

In addition, although the Frostive Immortal’s combat power was only average among Integration Cultivators, she excelled at Refining Tools. With the protection of her Magic Treasures, it would not be easy to defeat her. Without some assurance, it would be humiliating to rashly challenge her.

Therefore, due to these accumulated factors, the Frostive Immortal’s match-seeking battle fell into a state of desolation.

Just when everyone thought the matter would gradually be forgotten and come to a lackluster conclusion.

A further alarming event occurred.

The Frostive Immortal suddenly became pregnant! And aside from herself, no one knew who the child’s father was!

She remained silent about it and declared that the match-seeking battle was officially off.

From then on, she devoted herself to nurturing the child in her womb, who turned out to be Shuo Feng.

Undoubtedly, the person who could cause the Frostive Immortal to become pregnant silently was certainly a terrifyingly powerful Integration Cultivator. There couldn’t be any mistake about it.

No matter why he chose to hide his identity, no one knew.

“He not only has a mother in the Realm of Unification, but also a hidden father who hasn’t revealed his true identity.”

“No wonder Shuo Feng is so confident, thinking that the world is vast, and he can go anywhere.”

While Li Fan was contemplating in secret, Shuo Feng had already slowly awakened from his enlightenment.

A faint smile appeared on his face, and after taking a deep breath, his complexion gradually calmed down.

The hand holding the wooden sword was no longer trembling, just as a mysterious aura descended and locked onto him.

The Divine Wonder Sword transformed into a gentle white light, slowly melting into his body.

In an instant, all the sharp aura around Shuo Feng retracted.

His image transitioned from being sharp to being utterly ordinary.

Even the violet fortune column above his head, under Li Fan’s gaze, gradually faded, finally turning into an inconspicuous white form that could easily be overlooked if not observed carefully.

Shuo Feng looked at Li Fan, and Li Fan retracted the Mystic Bird Divine Technique, giving a respectful gesture.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Congratulations, Dao friend, for returning to simplicity and achieving mastery in your art!”

“It’s not exactly mastery…but…” Shuo Feng made a polite gesture of request, with grace and dignity.

“I hope the Dao friend will test my sword for me!”

Li Fan naturally understood his meaning.

With a flick of his finger, several more Blue Water Swords flew towards Shuo Feng.

Shuo Feng stood with his hands behind his back, neither dodging nor evading.

When the water swords were about to bombard his body, a burst of white light suddenly appeared.

All the water swords turned back.
