Chapter 365: Chapter 249: Praying for Rain and Practicing Swordsmanship in a Waterfall! _2
With that said,
He waved his hand.
Bang!
The Gold Phoebe Nanmu coffin landed on the ground.
“Wow!”
Upon seeing the Gold Phoebe Nanmu coffin, Yun Mengxi pounced on it immediately. She caressed the wood grain and the gold-plated engravings with her hands, excitedly saying, “Gold Phoebe Nanmu…this huge coffin made of Gold Phoebe Nanmu must not be cheap, right?”
Xu Yang laughed, “This coffin was made for the founding emperor of the Western Xia Dynasty, Li Yuanhao. Unfortunately, he was killed by his own son, and this coffin has remained in the treasury ever since… As for its value, it’s hard to measure.”
“Of course, whether it’s cheap or expensive doesn’t matter, as long as my wife likes it!”
A regular Gold Phoebe Nanmu coffin would cost more than a million.
This historical Gold Phoebe Nanmu coffin that had existed for thousands of years was naturally even more precious.
Yun Mengxi was extremely touched.
She took out her jade pillow and blanket, placed them inside the coffin, and then climbed inside. Xu yang moved closer, asking, “Madam, are you…”
Whoosh!
Before he could finish his sentence, Yun Mengxi pulled him into the coffin.
This scene seemed familiar, and Xu Yang had no time to resist. He could only say, “Madam, slow down…slow down…this coffin was hard to come by, be careful not to break it again.”
…
Afterwards, Yun Mengxi lay down in the coffin and said, “Later, I’ll refine it with my killing energy, otherwise, one day this Gold Phoebe Nanmu coffin will fall apart.”
Xu yang was speechless.
You knew it would fall apart in the end?
It was already late at night.
Xu Yang took another bath and returned to his bedroom.
Instead of practicing his calligraphy talisman as usual, he began cultivating the “Great River Sword Manual.”
Although Xu Yang had never practiced basic sword techniques, his mastery of the “Eight Forms of Famous Sword Skills” made him no less skilled than some sword masters. In just half an hour, he reached the first level of the “Great River Sword Manual.”
The “Great River Sword Manual” has nine levels.
If one could cultivate to the seventh level, they would become a “Land Sword Immortal.” If they could fully cultivate it, they would be considered invincible among the “Land Sword Immortals”!
Of course,
Whether it’s truly “invincible” is impossible to verify.
It’s reasonable for the creator of the technique to brag about their own skills.
The second level of the “Great River Sword Manual” was more challenging.
Under normal circumstances, the second level required a martial arts grandmaster who had comprehended sword intent to practice, transforming their own sword intent into the Great River Sword Aura.
Xu Yang proceeded step by step, practicing for four hours straight. Yet, as the sky slowly began to brighten outside, he still hadn’t succeeded in cultivating it.
“Great River Sword Aura…Great River Sword Aura!”
“The sword aura is like a river, surging endlessly… To cultivate it successfully, one must witness the surging of a grand river.”
Xu Yang knew his shortcomings, so he immediately focused and sent out his primordial spirit. A warm breeze blew into the sky, heading straight for the Yellow River!
He arrived above the Yellow River and looked down at it.
However, the water flow of the Yellow River in Wu City was relatively gentle, lacking the surging strength he had imagined.
“To see the Yellow River’s surging power, one must go to the section where the water flow is the fiercest!”
Xu Yang returned his primordial spirit to his body and started searching on his phone, quickly finding out that the fiercest water flow of the Yellow River was located at the Hukou Waterfall between Jin Province and Shanxi Province.
This was Da Xia’s second largest waterfall, nicknamed, “the largest yellow waterfall in the world.”
The torrential Yellow River flows to this point, where the banks on both sides are steep cliffs, and the river narrows like a pot’s mouth, hence the name Hukou Waterfall.
The width of the river upstream is 300 meters. At this point, within a distance of less than 500 meters, it is compressed to a width of 20-30 meters. With a flow rate of 1,000 cubic yards per second, the river water rushes down from the 20-meter-high cliff, forming a spectacular view, known as “the grand Yellow River contained in a single pot.”
This is a national 5A-level scenic spot, one of the most famous tourist attractions in the northwest.
Ke Shouliang’s brother’s heroic feat of leaping across the Yellow River was accomplished on this stretch of the river!
From Wu City to Hukou Waterfall, it is a total distance of about 700 kilometers.
In order to cultivate the “Great River Sword Aura,” Xu Yang didn’t alert anyone.
He walked out of the villa, displayed his movement techniques, and left Wu City. After that, he took out two Movement Talismans and placed them on his legs. The power of the Divine Transcendence Realm late stage burst out, and the surrounding thunder Dao was revealed. He turned into a flash of lightning and dashed out instantly.
“If I run at full speed now, I can reach about 1.5 times the speed of sound.”
“Scaling mountains and crossing rivers, a 700-kilometer journey would take at most half an hour… Unfortunately, my cultivation is too low. If I reach the Spirit Refining Realm, I could fly, and such a short distance would be covered in an instant!”
He set off at 7 am.
By 7:30, he had already arrived at the Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River.
At this time, the ticket sellers in the scenic area hadn’t even started work yet.
In fact, in this season, there aren’t many tourists visiting Hukou Waterfall, because the most spectacular time of Hukou Waterfall is the “Autumn Flood Season.” At that time, there is a lot of rain, and the Yellow River flows swiftly. Roaring floods come from the upper reaches, and within less than 500 meters, the water is compressed into dozens of meters and pours downward, creating a magnificent sight!
Xu Yang did not buy a ticket and went straight into the scenic area.
He came to the Hukou Waterfall and watched the pouring waterfall, listening to the roaring sound of the waterfall, and suddenly took out the “Bi Shui Sword” to practice sword at the riverbank.
This was Xu Yang’s first time practicing the sword!
Yes!
The first time to practice!
After obtaining the “Eight Forms of the Famous Sword,” Xu Yang had never practiced the sword for half a minute, except for actual combat.
At this moment, holding the sword in his hand felt a bit unfamiliar and awkward for him.
Fortunately, he had already comprehended the essence of the sword and had cultivated the first layer of the “Great River Sword Manual.” After practicing for just over ten minutes, he entered the state where his swordsmanship gradually became smooth and flowing with a mysterious feeling.
In front of him, the surging waterfall poured down, and in his ears, the booming sound of the waterfall echoed.
Xu Yang’s swordsmanship seemed to merge with the waterfall.
He entered a strange state where time seemed to stop flowing… This practice lasted for several hours!
His body was surrounded by an indistinct sword aura.
His swordsmanship turned into a piece of azure sword light.
The sword aura on his body had transformed from sharpness to an endless momentum!
Tourists who came to play stood not far away, attracted by this scene, taking out their mobile phones to take pictures and shoot videos. The security personnel of the scenic area were also alarmed, and they pulled up a cordon together with local police officers.
They didn’t know who Xu Yang was and didn’t dare to approach him.
But now, there have been countless experts all over the country, and some of them have shown their power in public. People weren’t too surprised and just treated it as a chance to see a powerful Swordsman practicing his skills.
At the same time.
Inside Xu Yang’s Zifu and Shihai.
Long Xiaoxue yawned and woke up from her slumber.
As soon as she woke up, she noticed the situation outside and exclaimed with joy, “There is so much water… Xu Yang, Xu Yang, I want to go play in the water!”
At Long Xiaoxue’s shout, Xu Yang was immediately awakened from his special state.
However, he wasn’t angry but instead smiled: “It’s also good. My Great River Sword Aura is always just a little bit off… It should be because the water of Hukou Waterfall is too small, and I can’t truly experience the endless momentum while standing on the riverbank!”
“Xiao Xue.”
“Help me.”
Xu Yang’s breath was retracted first, and the sword aura around him was absorbed back into his body.
Next, a strand of “water” Dao emerged.
He took out the altar of ritual, stepped on it, put away the Bi Shui Sword, held the peachwood sword, took out several Daoist talismans, and launched the “Supreme Purification Seal.” Standing on the Seven Stars and Eight Trigrams, he said, “I will perform the rain-summoning ritual. You help me stir the Yellow River, increase the power of Hukou Waterfall, and I will practice the sword under the waterfall. With this opportunity, I will master the Great River Sword Aura in one fell swoop!”
