36: Chapter 36 Hurricane Canyon, Blue Figure

After Ji Xuan and Gold Crocodile Douluo quietly left Heaven Dou City, the two of them flew through the air.

Ji Xuan stepped on a cyan longsword, and Gold Crocodile Douluo followed closely behind.

The next day, while passing through a desolate land, Ji Xuan suddenly stopped.

Looking down, this was a vast Gobi desert filled with yellow sand and gravel, with sparse, withered grass swaying in the wind.

Gold Crocodile Douluo paused his figure and hovered in mid-air: "Xiao Xuan, what's wrong?"

Ji Xuan looked into the distance: "Junior Martial Uncle Golden Crocodile, I sense that the wind elements ahead are very dense."

Gold Crocodile Douluo followed Ji Xuan's gaze and said: "This place is close to Element City. That should be Hurricane Canyon, where violent winds blow all year round. It is a Holy Land for wind-attribute Spirit Masters to Cultivate."

"Let's go take a look." Ji Xuan pondered for a moment, changed direction, and flew toward Hurricane Canyon.

Golden Crocodile did not say much and followed silently behind.

The closer they got to the canyon, the more active the wind elements in the air became.

Soon, a huge canyon came into view.

On both sides of the canyon were steep rock walls, riddled with holes eroded by wind and sand.

Violent winds howled inside the valley, with sand and stones flying about.

Ordinary people would find it difficult even to stand steady here.

However, Ji Xuan's eyes lit up; he could feel that perhaps he could achieve a Breakthrough in his Sword Intent of Wind here.

"Junior Martial Uncle, let's go down."

Ji Xuan landed steadily at the entrance of the canyon, and the cyan longsword beneath his feet dissipated into wind elements.

Immediately, the two of them stepped inside.

Surprisingly, the violent gale winds automatically parted when approaching Ji Xuan, as if welcoming their master.

A long time later, deep in the canyon, Ji Xuan discovered that this area was very different from the outskirts.

The outskirts were filled with chaotic, violent winds, flying sand and stones, and blurred vision.

But this area had formed orderly cyan vortexes. These vortexes rotated slowly, and each one contained pure wind element energy.

The wind here was actually not as violent, but it was more concentrated and more dangerous.

"Junior Martial Uncle, I want to go into seclusion here."

"Very well."

Gold Crocodile Douluo nodded and found a place nearby to stand guard.

With his strength, this place was no different from the outside.

Ji Xuan scanned the area and then found a flat boulder to sit cross-legged on.

Ji Xuan relaxed his body and mind, fully immersing himself in feeling the pure wind elements around him.

The Sword Intent of Wind within his body operated autonomously, resonating with the Law of Wind in the canyon.

He could clearly perceive the trajectory of every wind vortex and feel the power of the Law contained within the wind elements.

Days passed by...

Ji Xuan's understanding of the Sword Intent of Wind grew deeper and deeper.

He no longer viewed the wind simply as a means of attack but began to understand the essence of the wind.

The wind is free, changeable, and omnipresent.

He felt that the wind could be as gentle as a feather, or as violent as thunder...

On the seventh day, the wind elements in the center of the canyon suddenly became turbulent.

Countless cyan wind vortexes gathered toward Ji Xuan, forming a huge cyan vortex around him, enveloping him within...

A moment later, the vortex dissipated with a boom, and an invisible Domain spread out from Ji Xuan, covering dozens of meters in radius.

Within the Domain, every wisp of wind seemed to transform into a sharp sword, flowing according to his will.

The Sword Domain of Wind, complete!

Ji Xuan slowly opened his eyes. With a slight thought, the wind elements within the Domain were at his beck and call, condensing into streaks of cyan sword shadows.

These sword shadows changed unpredictably according to his will.

"Xiao Xuan, congratulations on your Breakthrough." Gold Crocodile Douluo's voice came.

Ji Xuan restrained his Aura, and the Sword Domain dissipated along with it.

He stood up and looked at Gold Crocodile Douluo: "Junior Martial Uncle, let's leave this place."

The two then headed toward the outskirts...

Halfway there, Ji Xuan actually saw a cyan figure Cultivating in the violent wind.

The person wore a black mask, and his cyan clothes had been cut in many places by wind blades; there were many small wounds on his body, but he was still persisting in his Cultivation.

He had a pair of cyan wings condensed from wind elements on his back, and his figure rotated down from the air, continuously slashing at a huge rock.

His power was stronger with each Move, and every Move was accumulating Aura.

But at the twentieth Move, his movements clearly slowed down, and the subsequent Moves were difficult to connect.

Is this Feng Xiaotian from Shenfeng Academy?

Is he here Cultivating his self-created Spirit Ability, the Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes of the Storm Devil Wolf?

It can be seen that he is still at the stage of twenty consecutive slashes.

"What a pity..." Ji Xuan flashed behind Feng Xiaotian.

"Who?! When did you arrive?!"

Feng Xiaotian was startled and hurriedly turned around, looking vigilantly at the old man and the young man who had suddenly appeared; he hadn't noticed them at all.

"Just passing by." Ji Xuan smiled indifferently.

"This is the depths of Hurricane Canyon; ordinary people cannot reach here." Feng Xiaotian remained vigilant.

"The fact that you can reach here shows that you are not simple either. Looking at your Cultivation just now, it seems you are practicing a self-created Spirit Ability?" Ji Xuan feigned confusion.

Feng Xiaotian admitted frankly: "That's right."

Immediately, he frowned slightly and asked suspiciously: "By the way, what did you mean by 'what a pity' just now?"

Ji Xuan smiled faintly and said:

"In my opinion, you are too obsessed with the number of consecutive strikes, but you have forgotten that the most important thing about the wind is change."

"Each of your Moves is accumulating power, wanting one Move to be stronger than the last, but this actually limits the agility of the wind."

"Therefore, your self-created Spirit Ability not only takes too long to charge up but also lacks flexibility, making it very easy to be interrupted."

As he spoke, a wind vortex suddenly condensed in Ji Xuan's hand, then dispersed into thousands of strands, turning into countless small cyan swords, each carrying sharp Sword Qi.

Feng Xiaotian was dumbfounded; he didn't expect that the young man before him had such god-like control over wind elements.

Moreover, what this young man said was correct; his self-created Spirit Ability indeed had major flaws.

Feng Xiaotian collected his thoughts and cupped his hands: "I am Feng Xiaotian from Shenfeng Academy. May I ask your name, brother?"

"Ji Xuan." Ji Xuan dissipated the wind elements in his hand, smiled, and stood with his hands behind his back: "How about it? Do you want to follow me? I will teach you the true Dao of Wind."

Feng Xiaotian's heart skipped a beat, and an uncontrollable longing rose from the bottom of his heart, almost making him blurt out an agreement.

But soon, the words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back, and he asked suspiciously: "May I ask which faction Brother Ji comes from?"

"I come from Spirit Hall."

Ji Xuan did not hide his identity. Feng Xiaotian had good talent, and he planned to recruit him.

After all, Spirit Hall also needed fresh blood.

"Spirit Hall?!" Feng Xiaotian frowned upon hearing this.

Of the five major academies, besides Elephant Armor Academy, which belongs to the Elephant Armored Academy of the Lower Four Sects, the other four academies have always been independent and have not joined any faction.

If he followed Ji Xuan, wouldn't that be equivalent to joining Spirit Hall? I'm afraid his grandfather wouldn't agree either.

"Sorry, Brother Ji, I cannot make the decision on this matter."

Ji Xuan was not surprised upon hearing this and just smiled faintly: "Understood. As it happens, I am also going to Element City. Why don't we travel together, Brother Feng?"

"This... all right."

Feng Xiaotian hesitated slightly, but in the end, he nodded.

Immediately, the three of them headed toward the outside of the canyon...
