CHAPTER 375: CHAPTER 363: PRACTICE REVEALS TRUE KNOWLEDGE

The Floating Cloud Ship continued its voyage, three days having passed since the previous attack.

Liu Rouxin sat dejectedly at the bow, her feet kicking the air as she glared fiercely at the passing clouds, strange in shape, as if they were all Wan Tinggui.

"I’m so pissed off, so pissed off!" Even three days later, Liu Rouxin’s frustration had not subsided.

When had she, Liu Rouxin, ever suffered such indignity? She was always the one to strike at others’ sects, never imagining the day when someone would come knocking at her door.

Amidst her dissatisfaction, she even snatched up the orange cat Mr. Big munching on dried fish beside her, pulling it into her arms and gave its head a rough rub.

"You big... cat meow!" Mr. Big, the innocent victim, was dumbfounded, questioning why a flat-chested loli would dare to embrace him.

By the time Mr. Big finally escaped from Liu Rouxin’s devilish claws, he felt both physically and mentally ravaged, while Liang Yi faintly overheard Mr. Big’s repeated lament, "I’m not clean anymore meow..."

However, at this moment, Liang Yi was focused on researching the two gifts given to them by the Master of Senluo Wanxiang Sect with his junior sister.

[Cosmic Mysterious Starlight], due to the existence of the system panel, was not difficult to understand, and could be kept as a trump card to be utilized at a crucial moment.

However, the item given to Su Youyi left the two somewhat baffled.

"What use could this thread possibly have?" Su Youyi positioned the Lovesick Sword in front of her body, both she and her senior brother examining the faint thread visible on the pale red blade.

The thread extended from the hilt, perfectly and straightly reaching to the tip of the sword, adding a layer of mystique to the already stunningly beautiful Lovesick Sword.

"You can’t feel anything different?" Liang Yi asked doubtfully, looking at Su Youyi. Logically, since the Lovesick Sword had recognized its master, its owner Su Youyi should be the first to know about any changes in the Immortal Sword.

"Nah, I absolutely can’t feel any difference from before." Su Youyi had also tried various methods to understand the sword’s mystery in the past three days, to no avail.

Both wore frowns, feeling helpless as they regarded the Lovesick Sword before them.

"Swords are meant for battle; why not try sparring with each other?" A familiar voice suddenly rang out, and Liang Yi and Su Youyi looked up to see Zhou Yuqing, who had been in closed-door cultivation, now emerged.

"Yuqing Sister, are your injuries healed?" Su Youyi asked, somewhat excitedly, as she rose to her feet.

"With the Spiritual Medicine from Palace Master Bai, my injuries were never much of an issue to begin with." Zhou Yuqing nodded her head lightly, the corners of her lips curling up in a small smile.

"That Master of Senluo Wanxiang probably had some unexpected insights, the kind that would be very helpful even for his breakthrough to the Ninth Realm. That’s why he wishes to make a gesture towards you two," Zhou Yuqing said as she casually approached them, bending over to take a casual look at the mysterious thread on the Lovesick Sword.

"Can Senior Zhou sense what this is?" Liang Yi asked. As a fellow Eighth Realm cultivator, Zhou Yuqing should be able to discern something.

"I can only roughly determine that this thread seems to be a manifestation of something similar to a Law, its specific application requires your own research," Zhou Yuqing shook her head.

However, the more she observed the thread, the brighter the light shone in her eyes, and her tone contained a hint of admiration.

"Truly deserving of being one of the strongest people in this era. Even among cultivators of the Eighth Realm, the gap between individuals is worlds apart."

Liang Yi raised his eyebrows. Hearing Zhou Yuqing speak in such a way, he could roughly guess that this thread must be an extraordinary thing, even causing a proud cultivator like Zhou Yuqing to voice her admiration.

"So, what’s the significance of this thread?"

"It’s similar to a Law, but it’s not. Just like the Star River inherited by the Senluo Wanxiang Sect, it’s an imitation."

"An imitation? What Law did Master Wan try to imitate?" Su Youyi was also surprised in her heart, she didn’t expect someone could actually try to imitate Laws.

You have to understand that for Cultivators, the most important thing about Laws is that they can help some Cultivators stuck at the Seventh Realm Great Perfection to see the first light of advancing further.

Without the Power of Laws fused within the Dao Foundation, one will never be able to break the shackles within the body, and thus, never be able to embark on the road to the Eighth Realm.

"Right now, I can’t tell either. You will know once you try it with your sword," Zhou Yuqing handed back the Lovesick Sword to Su Youyi and suggested.

Even she was somewhat curious about what this thing was.

Although she was also a Cultivator of the Eighth Realm, the path she took was completely different from that of the Master of Senluo. It’s said that all different paths lead to the same destination, but she still has a long way to go before reaching the end.

She’s just a heartless fire-playing girl; she really doesn’t know much about these things.

"Is that so? Then let’s give it a try." Liang Yi felt that it should be the case since practice reveals true knowledge. They had tried many methods in the past few days, but to be on the safe side, they still hadn’t chosen to try it out directly.

"Sure! Sure!" Su Youyi was indeed very excited; she had never sparred with her senior brother before.

"Will beating me make you that excited?"

Liang Yi blinked, a foreboding premonition flickered through his mind.

"Not really..." Su Youyi scratched her head embarrassingly with a shy look.

"Huh, that’s good then."

Liang Yi breathed a sigh of relief inwardly; he thought for a moment that his junior sister was about to awaken some strange attribute. But before Liang Yi could fully relax, he heard his junior sister’s unfinished words.

"I’m not that excited."

Su Youyi casually twirled her sword, her gaze intensely fixed on Liang Yi.

"..."

Liang Yi covered his chest, feeling a pang of pain in his heart. Certainly, there was a problem with his education plan; otherwise, how could his once adorable and dazed junior sister suddenly develop a tendency for violence?

Although that’s what he thought, Liang Yi still drew his sword Yuan Zhou and faced his junior sister with blades confronting each other.

"Be careful not to ruin the ship, meow," Uncle Orange, seeing the situation was like a standard domestic violence scene, quickly kept his distance and reminded them.

"That’s true, let’s go out then." Su Youyi tilted her head and thought about it, still somewhat concerned about her precious Floating Cloud Ship getting damaged, so she simply pulled her senior brother and flew directly above the sea of clouds.

Liang Yi looked around at the vast expanse of white and smacked his lips; he felt that this place might be someone’s grave today.

"Senior brother, watch the sword!"

Su Youyi seemed to have no intention of holding back. Seeing her senior brother still looking around, she reminded him with a soft shout and then, full of excitement, swung her longsword to strike.

"Hey, hey, I didn’t say start yet, isn’t this cheating?" Liang Yi, less than a second after hearing the sound, saw a murderous longsword appear in front of his face.
