Chapter 59: Conscience

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

To be honest, Feng Xia was speechless.

Regardless of whether it was Lei Shao or Liu Chuanyuan, they were both grown men and not teenagers. If they had something to say, they should just say it. Why were they being so awkward?

Moreover, in the face of a great enemy, what grudge could they not let go of?

However, before he could ask any question, Lei Shao’s sword light had already arrived in front of him. It was magnificent, like an unparalleled swordsman brandishing his sword, pressing forward indomitably and never giving up!

Feng Xia could tell at a glance that the set of sword techniques that First Elder Lei Shao was displaying was the same set of sword techniques in the sword diagrams on the 13 pillars of the Moon Pavilion.

Perhaps the minute details were different, but under the perception of his perfect Sword-Heart, the two sets of sword techniques were built on the same framework, had the same ideals and pursued the same goal!

So, why must the two of you behave so awkwardly and make a simple matter so complicated?

“Good sword technique!”

Although he was complaining in his heart, Feng Xia did not dare to be inattentive in the face of Lei Shao’s attack. He used all his strength and rapidly dodged the sword.

However, in the next moment, he was slightly shocked.

The sword energy released from Lei Shao’s hand suddenly rose to another level. “Fellow practitioner Feng, be careful!”

“Second strike!”

“Third strike!”

“Fourth strike!”

The sword light attacked again and again, seeming to want to overcome all obstacles and cut through the darkness. Its power kept increasing, as if it wanted to rid the world of all its enemies!

In the blink of an eye, Lei Shao had slashed out a total of 12 times. The majestic sword energy whistled endlessly, turning Feng Xia’s vision into a vast expanse of white with only the sword light moving back and forth. The terrifying pressure he faced was not inferior to when he battled the Tianjue Sect Master!

“Fellow practitioner Lei, I’m sorry.”

Seeing this scene, Feng Xia could only sigh.

His perfect Sword-Heart suddenly emitted boundless divine light. At this moment, a sword light shot out of his eyes. His body was like a sword and his figure moved gracefully, forming a subtle arc.

“Fellow practitioner Lei, you can’t defeat me if you haven’t mastered the 13th move.”

Feng Xia used his finger as a sword and pointed forward casually.

Swoosh!

The whistling sword light suddenly became chaotic and was broken up by Feng Xia’s action!

“What… Cough, cough, cough!”

Bam bam bam bam!

At this moment, Lei Shao felt like he had been struck by lightning. His body trembled violently and he was pushed back uncontrollably. He stomped and broke more than ten bluestone slabs in a row before he finally stopped retreating.

His jaw dropped and he looked at Feng Xia in shock. “Fellow practitioner Feng… you… your Sword-Heart Integration…”

Feng Xia also stopped and did not continue the pursuit. Instead, he scratched his head and smiled. “I’ve never practiced with a sword before, so…”

Lei Shao: “?”

Feng Xia deliberated for a few seconds before continuing, “So it took me a few days to finally perfect the Sword-Heart Integration.”

Lei Shao also continued, “???”

Why was it that he could understand every individual word this fellow said, but after the words were connected into sentences, he could not understand what was being said despite his expansive life experience?

What did he mean by he had never practiced the sword before, so it took him a few days to finally perfect the Sword-Heart Integration?

A guy who had never practiced the sword only used a few days to comprehend the perfect Sword-Heart Integration. What kind of rule was this? Who the hell set this damn rule?!

Blargh—

A strong metallic taste spread in his throat. Lei Shao could not help retching, and coughed out a bright red mouthful of blood.

“Fellow practitioner Lei, are you alright?” Feng Xia looked over worriedly.

“Cough, cough, cough… Pfft! I’m fine. It’s just a small recoil. I’ll feel better after coughing it out!”

As he patted his chest forcefully, Lei Shao’s face indeed looked much rosier.

He shook his head with a bitter smile on his face and his expression became even more complicated. “Fellow practitioner Feng, what level is your cultivation now?”

Up until now, he had never seen Feng Xia use his full strength!

Once divine beings released their full strength, it was very difficult for them to retract their power freely. The shadows of their Mystical Wheels and Dao Platforms could not be hidden. However, they had all never seen Feng Xia’s Mystical Wheel up till now!

“You’re asking about my cultivation level…” Feng Xia hesitated for a moment before replying earnestly, “I’m still a step away from the first level of the Inception Realm.”

“?”

The expression on Lei Shao’s face clearly froze for a moment.

After that, he seemed to have come to a sudden understanding and nodded forcefully. “So that’s how it is. Fellow brother is only a strand away from the Primal Core Realm, no wonder your strength is so formidable…”

Feng Xia could not help but correct him, “It’s the Inception Realm, not the Primal Core Realm!”

“Fellow practitioner, you don’t need to emphasize anything, I understand, I understand! Although I’m not in the Dao Platform Realm now, I’ve touched that realm before. I’ve also heard the old Sect Master mention that once one reaches the peak of the eighth level of the Dao Platform Realm and begin to condense the primal core, the process is irreversible. If one acts rashly during this period, all one’s previous efforts will easily be wasted…”

Feng Xia felt helpless. “It’s the Inception Realm, not the Primal Core Realm…”

As Lei Shao spoke, his expression suddenly turned stern and he said solemnly, “Even at such an important moment, fellow brother is still willing to help the Thousand Autumn Valley. Regardless of whether the Thousand Autumn Valley can survive this calamity, fellow brother will be our eternal benefactor!”

For a moment, the atmosphere was exceptionally solemn.

It had already been a few days and the Five Elements Sky-Sealing Formation was still in operation. The Thousand Autumn Valley was also already filled with soldiers by now. Even the dimmest person would realize that a huge battle was going to happen at any time!

The final battle was about to arrive, and it was inevitable that they would be facing situations of life and death.

Eternal benefactor…

Feng Xia could not help but feel choked up. Suddenly, he grinned and said, “This form of address is too weighty. I don’t have the caliber to accept it. Besides, I’m staying here for only one little reason.”

Without waiting for Lei Shao to ask, the young man pointed at his chest.

“To be able to answer my conscience.”

Without the Thousand Autumn Valley’s order for Bai Canghai to go to the Ancient Forsaken Land, he would have been trapped there for a long time. He might have died of old age and turned into a skeleton without ever getting the chance to leave the sealed ancient abandoned land.

He recalled that Patriarch Chenhai had told him that as long as his cultivation level reached the Dao Platform Realm, he would be able to gain the power of flight and cross the bottomless abyss to leave the Ancient Forsaken Land.

Now that he thought about it, perhaps it was just a white lie from Patriarch Chenhai.

It was just to give him hope so that he would not continue to be dispirited.

If a Dao Platform Realm cultivator could enter and leave the Ancient Forsaken Land at will, then how could Patriarch Chenhai be sealed for 3,000 years without his disciples and grand-disciples coming to rescue him?

Therefore, to Feng Xia, whoever opened the access to the Ancient Forsaken Land did him a favor.

It was just that the people of the Thousand Autumn Valley might not know about this favor. Furthermore, he was not able to explain much more before the situation was clear.

Feng Xia had never trained with a sword, but he had comprehended the Sword-Heart Integration.

The sword was like a mirror, reflecting his heart.

“Conscience… Hahahahaha!”

Lei Shao was stunned for a long time before he suddenly burst into laughter. He laughed so hard that he bent over and teared. “Fellow practitioner Feng, you’re right! In today’s world… there aren’t many people with conscience!”

The boorish man laughed loudly, and his aura rose rapidly and erupted. Then, he grabbed the three-foot-long blade next to his hand and smashed through the air with a bang, heading straight for the Five Elements Sky-Sealing Formation.

“You brats from the Five Elements Sect! Your Grandpa Lei Shao is here to kill you!”
