98: Liu Bai

Sword Pavilion!

It is the pillar of cultivators in the Southern Jin Kingdom.

Ye Feng's first stop on his journey was to visit Sword Saint Liu Bai.

In terms of power, Sword Saint Liu Bai was insignificant compared to Ye Feng, but when it came to understanding the Way of the Sword, Liu Bai's talent made even Ye Feng full of praise.

As a technological god, Ye Feng currently had no use for swordsmanship or the Way of the Sword.

But when power ascended to the level of Rules, technology, fantasy, and cultivation, though different paths, ultimately led to the same destination.

"Your Excellency, you are truly formidable!"

Ye Feng did not send an invitation to Liu Bai, but appeared directly at Liu Bai's cultivation site.

Liu Bai sensed the presence of the person behind him and felt a threat from Ye Feng no less than that of the Master.

"Is this sword your natal object?"

Ye Feng pointed directly at the precious sword in the river; this sword had accumulated infinite sword qi and Liu Bai's insights into the Way of the Sword over countless years.

"It is my natal object!"

Liu Bai was very cautious of Ye Feng.

He felt a threat from Ye Feng, but no malice.

So, with the intention of not offending the other party, he chose to admit it directly.

Generally speaking, powerful individuals would not easily reveal their natal objects to others, as it involved the core of their power.

After hearing that this sword was Liu Bai's natal object, Ye Feng sat directly by the river.

"I've recently been researching the mysteries of natal object connections. Do you mind if I study your sword? Don't worry, I won't cause any damage to it; I'll only observe it here."

Facing Ye Feng's request, Liu Bai opened his mouth but chose not to refuse.

Although he was an unyielding swordsman, he was also the Pavilion Master of the Sword Pavilion and the guardian of the Southern Jin Kingdom.

Many things, he had to compromise on.

For example, he had no choice but to become a guest elder of West Tomb.

"Yes, but afterwards, I'd like to challenge Your Excellency to perfect my Way of the Sword! How about it?"

Liu Bai issued a challenge.

Ye Feng naturally would not refuse.

He began to study Liu Bai's natal sword, and this study lasted for three days.

This time, he successfully pushed the probability of targeted awakening of natal objects to 97%!

Afterwards, Liu Bai challenged Ye Feng.

Infinite psychic power stirred the Heaven and Earth Vital Qi of this world, transforming into an endless torrent of sword qi, like a surging Yellow River of sword qi, rushing towards Ye Feng.

However, this sword qi, upon entering within three meters of Ye Feng, dissolved and dissipated as if drops of water had fallen into a lake.

The Heaven and Earth Vital Qi of this world contained countless gaps.

This phenomenon contributed to the appearance of the 'Distance-less Ability' in this world; in reality, these gaps in Heaven and Earth Vital Qi were an altered version of the Micro Wormholes from the Super God World.

Ye Feng could also control these gaps in Heaven and Earth Vital Qi through psychic power.

They devoured Liu Bai's surging sword qi, then transferred it behind Liu Bai, causing Liu Bai's boundless River Sword Qi to turn around and attack himself directly.

Ye Feng's powerful psychic power could easily accomplish all of this.

But even after being transferred and losing control, the infinite sword qi still failed to harm Liu Bai.

Because one foot in front of Liu Bai was his world!

This world was not simple; it referred to this one-foot range as his absolute domain, a realm he controlled where outsiders could not interfere.

Within this domain, all Rules were decided by Liu Bai.

Even the Rules themselves were influenced by him.

The gaps in Heaven and Earth Vital Qi, moreover, could not exist.

It could be said that Liu Bai was shaking the Rules with his powerful sword dao will, but from a deeper perspective, it was Liu Bai using his five-realm strength to touch deeper sword dao Rules, and it was the result of him influencing the operation of other Rules with sword dao Rules.

To shape an absolute world with one's own body!

This was the charm of the fantasy cultivation system, not entirely scientific, but full of infinite possibilities.

After one strike, Liu Bai waved his hand, dispersing the endless River of Sword Qi, then he himself, like a sharp sword, stabbed towards Ye Feng.

This was his most powerful sword move, and it was also the move he used to break Haotian's Time Rule and place his finger on Haotian's brow.

But at this moment, Liu Bai realized he had miscalculated.

His sword was still incredibly terrifying and sharp, but the distance between him and Ye Feng did not close; instead, it infinitely extended.

It was as if you were clearly moving forward, but the target ahead was getting further and further away.

Ye Feng stretched the space-time distance between himself and Liu Bai, causing him to move infinitely away from him.

At this point, how could Liu Bai not understand what was happening?

Infinite distance, and the ability to extend it at any time, meant that no matter how sharp his attack, it could not reach Ye Feng himself.

If the target could not be reached, even the sharpest Way of the Sword was useless.

Liu Bai suddenly realized at this moment that to make his sword sharper, he needed an understanding of space-time.

He stopped and conceded directly.

"Your Excellency is truly profound, Liu Bai is inferior! May I ask, may Liu Bai seek instruction from Your Excellency on the mysteries of this move?"

If these words were heard by others, they would surely be greatly astonished.

Because the proud Liu Bai had never sought instruction from anyone else.

He always comprehended, innovated, and reached new heights on his own after suffering defeat in battle.

Liu Bai had always been the proud swordsman in the eyes of the world; there was simply no possibility of him asking others for guidance.

But today, Liu Bai did just that.

Because Liu Bai vaguely sensed the imminent arrival of a long, dark night, and also sensed a powerful force targeting strong individuals like them about to descend upon the world.

At this time, Liu Bai needed greater power, the ability to protect everything, and to challenge higher capabilities.

And some auras on Ye Feng that did not belong to this world were also perceived by Liu Bai.

This meant that Ye Feng might have little involvement with everything in this world, and seeking guidance from him could enhance his own strength, so why not?

"Yes! But you need to pass on your Way of the Sword to a few people! A few people who are harmless to you and the Southern Jin Kingdom!"

Ye Feng thought for a moment and agreed, but also had his own conditions.

In the previous battle, he had already seen through the mysteries of Liu Bai's River Sword Intent.

Now Ye Feng could also unleash this move.

But unlike Liu Bai's single river of swords, if Ye Feng's psychic power was fully activated, what would be unleashed would be a stellar river of swords, with countless sword dao stars formed by sword qi appearing within it, which would be even more magnificent.

It was just that such a move might be difficult for this world to bear.

Ye Feng's River Sword Intent would cause unimaginable, destructive damage to the entire Haotian World.

Liu Bai nodded in agreement.

He no longer cared about others learning his techniques, just as he didn't care about Ye Hongyu and others learning the River Sword Intent.

Then Ye Feng waved his hand, and Ah Li, Qi Lin, and Rui Rui, who were still in the Academy, were teleported over.

Ye Feng imparted a part of the mysteries of space-time to Liu Bai; whether he could understand and learn it was up to him.

And the three, Ah Li, would learn Liu Bai's Way of the Sword here.

"Break through the Five Realms as soon as possible. Fear will only make it harder for you to progress. What you fear is only because your realm is not high enough, and your strength is not powerful enough. If you had the same realm as the Master, you would also be fearless of what you are currently worried about!"

Ye Feng embarked on the path of finding strong individuals in this world once again.

Before leaving, he reminded Liu Bai of this.

Liu Bai, meanwhile, was deep in thought, considering Ye Feng's suggestion.

After bidding farewell to Liu Bai, Ye Feng decided to head to his next destination.

West Tomb, Zhishou Abbey!
