Successor Goddess of Death (Series 2)
170. The Cold Moon Sword
He lifted Bing Yue up and stood by the edge of the pond while looking at the Cold Moon Sword Martial Arts technique book which was rested by his on the boulder.
He started trying to demonstrate the first technique slowly while instilling, step by step into his mind.
No matter how much he tried, how hard he practiced, this technique seemed to drift and just passed his head before returning away.
No movement can be remembered well, he even slightly doubted that his head had started to be damaged because it was too long in the cold water.
He sat in the lotus position at the edge of the pond and forcibly recalled the first move, then began to meditate.
He continued to forcibly imagine movement after movement within his mind until it made it like one of his memories was inside his mind.
Slowly on the ground, a shadow of a woman playing a dark night sword flashed through her mind.
Her shadow looked blurry and she could not see the woman's sword movements clearly, he silently clenched his hands and forced himself to carve every move he had seen into his heart.
Then, the image of the woman became clearer and she could see the first movement of the Cold Moon Sword, the woman practiced it very well.
The woman wore a head covering with fluttering black clothes and dark brown hair along her waist, almost as long as her hair.
He could not see the woman's eyes but could see her nose, lips and ears. His nose was small and sharp, his lips were not thick but full and as red as blood, his ears were small.
He scrunched his forehead when he saw the woman's small ears. Here, there is so much belief that someone who has big ears will have a long life.
Wouldn't the woman in front of him have a short life? He's included too? Because, her own ears are small.
He watched every movement that looked easy with full concentration. He took two steps back when he saw the woman's hair in front of him this would hit his face.
He practiced the gesture beside this woman with complete confidence, even without a sword. He trained the movement with all his heart.
Early on, she. had trouble to equalize the rhythm of her movements with the woman in front of her, but slowly land she can equalize the rhythm of the two of them.
She felt like her body was moving on its own, even without her orders. As if, this movement is not a new thing to learn.
After the first part was finished, he gasped for breath and sat down while sticking out his legs. He did not care much about the woman in front of him because the woman was just an illusion in his mind.
"Hey." Call a soft voice in front of her.
He looked up and was surprised when he saw such soothing bright green eyes, the woman reached out to him.
"Your abilities are pretty good. " Say the woman. He hesitantly welcomed the helping hand.
"Ehm, you're not my illusion? " Task her with a little embarrassment and her face is slightly flushed.
Because, no matter how he thought that this person in front of him was just an illusion contained within the Cold Moon Sword Martial Arts Technique.
"You were the first to make it in here. Good skills for a kid your age. " Take the woman kindly.
"I am the one who created the Cold Moon Sword and is still alive. It's not a spirit or anything. " The woman's voice blew away everything that was on her mind.
"Then why am I here? " Task her confused.
"Because you managed to grasp the core of the Cold Moon Sword. I've been training inside here for over a thousand years. " Say the woman.
He raised his eyebrows in surprise, clearly the woman in front of him looked like someone who was 30 years old.
Who would have thought that it turned out to be a thousand-year-old senior?
" Don't be surprised, I'm not someone who can be measured by human size. From now on, this dimension is connected to you. "Speak the woman.
He who heard this felt even more surprised, how could a new dimension be connected to him even without being known by him?
" My name is Rong Xian, the elder of the Moon Sword Sect. My nickname is Cold Moon Sword, people nicknamed me that way so I named my martial arts like that, not hard to remember. " Rong Xian said casually.
" The Moon Sword Sect is a Sect that is in the High Level Dimension, you might not know of it but it is one of the most powerful sects. It's just that, lately there's been a bit of internal warfare. "Rong Xian's speech was a little sad.
" What is this that belongs to one of the 9 Sects and the 3 great Clans? "Ask him curiously.
" You're right! We were ranked 5th first but due to the internal commotion we retreated to rank 8 . "Rong Xian said with a sigh.
"It's been 100 years and I don't check the outside situation, don't know if they're still standing. I'm tired of internal warfare that has no end. The most powerful sect is the Blue Ice Sect if you don't know, it's all because there was a great god who founded it. " Said Rong Xian.
He smiled bitterly when he heard that, and could not help but feel the acid in his heart when he heard that.
"There is nothing special about the Blue Ice Sect, the Sect has been destroyed since a few months ago. " Take it cold and hard.
"The sect exploded because their Chief committed suicide, his daughter and sister were being hunted by the three great clans." Say it flat and cold.
Rong Xian looked surprised when he heard that.
"Have shattered? I didn't expect that. Huft, everyone is lusting to possess the treasures that God Xue possessed. I myself strongly oppose this, but not many want to hear my words. " Said Rong Xian.
"There is nothing to regret, the Blue Ice Sect will not stand with the cowardly disciples. " Say it without pointing at any emotion.
"You seem to know a lot. " Rong Xian said with a probing look.
"Not really, I have a friend who lives in that dimension. What I love is the Blue Ice Sect Chief's daughter. " His speech remains with a thin smile and a flat tone.
"Why is that? " Tanya Rong Xian was interested.
"The princess was named Xue Fenghuang, the poor girl who even had to live in suffering in the lower dimension, in torment without knowing the truth that all this time who lived with her was not her real father. He had gotten a bit of luck to know his real father and meet with God Xue, their meeting was no more than a year and they had to go back apart. Then, the attack was celebrated on his birthday, if I were to be him then I would think that dying is better than living. " Say her.
His smile widened when he told this, as if this was a funny story and not a sad story.
"Huft, this world is too cruel to that girl. If I can meet her, then I will take good care of her and give her a new identity. " Said Rong Xian.
"How come it turns out that Xue Fenghuang is a different person from your shadow? " Task her slowly.
He was sure, the image of Xue Fenghuang in Rong Xian's mind must have been a weak girl who needed help and he didn't like to be imagined that way by others.
"No problem, I'll still accept it. " Rong Xian said without hesitation.
"I hear he has become heartless. He looked for every disciple of the Sect who escaped and cut off their entire limbs slowly before hanging them, are you still going to accept him? " Task him again.
"I....... It will still accept it, only if your story is true then it will become even more depressing. " Said Rong Xian.
He did not change his expression despite being surprised, there was only a slight frown on his forehead.
" Why pathetic? Isn't that better? He can avenge his father and uncle. " So on again with a grin.
"He endured many hardships, a grudge would ruin his self. " Lirih Rong Xian sadly, heard this sneer missing from his face.
His face turned stiff and he involuntarily squeezed his own clothes.
"A very good thought Miss Rong, I hope you don't retract your words when you meet her in the future. " Reply with light.
"Of course, I'm an honorable person how can I possibly take out my own words? " Task Rong Xian with pride.
He just smiled sinisterly looking at it before turning around, he looked at his right hand which had squeezed his clothes involuntarily.
He returned to normal and turned around again with a faint smile.
"Miss Rong, if one day she comes to your Sect and destroys your sect. Which one will you choose ? I can't believe that your sect wasn't involved in the killing of Lord Xue. Who is not tempted by the Heavenly Fractions ?" Ask her with a warm laugh.
