Zuo Mo couldn't help but hesitate. There was only seven days until the sect assessment. If something unexpected happened when he activated the water essence, he wouldn't even have the time to make up for it.
Down below, Zuo Mo looked at the extremely beautiful water flame in the sky. He wanted to laugh but all the ling energy in his body was used up and his vision blurred. Boom, the water flame exploded in the sky. Thousands of catties of water poured down. Zuo Mo's body was unsteady and in the blink of an eye, he was washed away without a trace!
Suddenly, Zuo Mo thought of the scene he had seen in the sea of consciousness. That crimson red ball of fire that had been hanging in the air suddenly exploded. That scene was so similar to everything in front of him!
This was where he had gambled everything!
Now that things had developed to this point, Zuo Mo's feelings towards Luo Li had faded. This obstacle, it was more like a test for himself.
When everything, all the fragments, all the feelings, gathered together, it was like there was a string in Zuo Mo's head that was lightly plucked by an invisible hand.
What Zuo Mo felt was the most unreasonable was the presence of this move.
When all the spirit energy in his body flowed into the ice crystal sword like a tide, the water essence that was usually faintly agitated suddenly exploded!
He was very clear that even though he was very familiar with the first six moves, but if he wanted to use these six moves to defeat Luo Li Shixiong, that was just a pipe dream. Comparing sword moves, comparing cultivation, comparing battle experience, the two weren't on the same level. Zuo Mo was thousands of li away from the other! The only way to defeat Luo Li Shixiong was to comprehend the sword essence of [Li Water Sword Scripture]!
In that moment of hesitation, the rapidly rising water-shaped flame suddenly exploded!
"Li!"
A gigantic stream of water with a faint flame suddenly shot up into the sky. The impure water flames were jumping like fire, filled with an extremely violent presence!
The name of the seventh move was slightly shocking. It was called [Li Water Burning Heavens]. If it was a different name and called it [Li Fire Burning Heavens], Zuo Mo felt it could be understood. Li water, that was still water, how could it burn the heavens?
Zuo Mo knew that at this time, he couldn't be impatient. This was the sign of a breakthrough.
Recalling every detail of his sword practice these days, feeling the scent of the river water that flowed past him, feeling the presence of the drop of water essence inside the flying sword, Zuo Mo relaxed his mind.
Sword essence, it sounded very ethereal and illusory, but it became the greatest trump card that Zuo Mo could rely on. If he couldn't comprehend sword intent, then everything would be for naught, and he would lose without a doubt.
What this [Li Water Sword Scripture] imitated was water. Zuo Mo still couldn't understand what kind of water Li Water was, but in the end, it was still water. As long as it is water, how can it flow from low places to high places? How could he possibly go against the trend?
Boom!
But a short while later, Zuo Mo steeled his heart. If he couldn't comprehend the li water sword essence before the sect assessment, then he had no chance of winning against Luo Li Shixiong. There was only one result for him, and that was to lose.
But soon, he calmed himself down. These questions could be discussed later.
When he had been cultivating on land, Zuo Mo hadn't detected it. That drop of water essence inside the sword was as light as air. When it was swung, there wasn't much feeling. But in the water, the water was heavy and the presence of the sword also became heavy. This problem that he hadn't been able to see immediately became obvious.
Who was practicing the sword?
He might be very tired, his mind almost at its limit, but he didn't relax at all. His eyes were filled with tiredness but he tried to keep them wide open as though he was afraid his eyes would accidentally close. Very tired.
In his eyes, those water droplets that were as thin as mist suddenly became blossoms of flame. But these flames, they weren't the flames in the sea of consciousness that were so red they were almost black, but transparent flames of water. Blossoms, they were glowing and transparent flames made from water. They slightly pulsed, transparent and colorless. They didn't have the wildness and strangeness of the deep red flames in the sea of consciousness. These transparent water flames were as quiet as a lady waiting to be married. They covered the entire body of the ice crystal sword.
No matter how hard Zuo Mo tried, he couldn't use the last move!
Did he really have to use the last move?
The ice crystal sword was like an extremely nimble fish, happily swimming in the water. It came and went as fast as lightning, making the fish that were famed for their speed pale in comparison.
There were too many difficult places to use this move. For example, pouring all of his ling energy into the flying sword in an instant. That was a test of a person's control of ling energy. Zuo Mo didn't dare to mess around with the drop of water essence inside the flying sword. It hadn't been easy to make this drop of water essence. If it exploded, not only would Zuo Mo need to remake the water essence, even the formation inside the ice crystal sword could be damaged.
Suddenly, he thought of a certain sword scripture in the records room. His expression couldn't help but change.
Zuo Mo gritted his teeth and made up his mind. In any case, the barefooted person wasn't afraid of those wearing shoes. If he really failed, he had nothing to say. His skill wasn't as good as the other, he just had to pay the contribution points. That was better than not having the courage to try and directly admitting defeat! In any case, the barefooted person wasn't afraid of those wearing shoes.
Recovering to his best condition, Zuo Mo stretched his body. This time, he didn't use his mind to control the flying sword but gripped the ice crystal sword in his hand.
He dazedly looked at the Sky Shaking River below.
Suddenly, he was enlightened. That thin white paper that had been obstructing him was lightly pierced through. A brand new world floated in front of him.
The first six moves, either flowing with the flow, or like a whirlpool spinning a hundred times, imitating the characteristics of water. Each had their own wonders. Zuo Mo could comprehend them. Only the seventh move, Zuo Mo still didn't understand it. Before on land, he had felt that he was extremely familiar with the seventh move. But when he got into the water, he instantly found it wasn't right.
This phrase that he didn't understand was like lightning, piercing into the depths of his soul.
He didn't start immediately but started to meditate again. He started to recover his ling energy. He decided to use his best condition to try this move.
Under the roaring river, Zuo Mo's upper body was bare, his expression solemn. In front of him, water swords criss-crossed. Occasionally, fish and prawns would charge into the area covered by the water swords. All of them died upon contact, but there wasn't any wound on the surface of their bodies.
The presence of the sword seemed to have lost its sluggishness and suddenly sped up!
Closing his eyes, he held the sword and focused his mind. There was nothing under his feet. Standing in the water, the rushing current was unable to affect his figure at all. He was like a log standing upright in the rushing river, motionless. It was unspeakably strange.
He could only continuously practice the first six moves. He became more and more familiar with the first six moves. The feeling of being in the water, especially the feeling of "water", became much clearer. As the six moves became more and more complete, Zuo Mo gradually comprehended. This kind of feeling, it was extremely wondrous. It was like through a paper window, he could see someone outside the room. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pierce through that thin paper.
Just at this time, the ice crystal sword that Zuo Mo had been holding all this time slowly rose.
Six hours later, Zuo Mo opened his eyes. The light in his eyes was deep and calm. He didn't know if it was because he had made a decision but the effect of meditation this time was extremely good. Not only had his ling energy completely recovered, the exhaustion of the last few days was swept away.
He knew that he had encountered a bottleneck again. Of the seven moves of [Li Water Sword Scripture], he didn't have any problems with the first six moves. The problem was with the seventh move.
Was it a disciple of the sect?
What Zuo Mo saw was a different scene.
Once the strange water-shaped flame formed, Zuo Mo's straining arm quickly became abnormally stable!
Zuo Mo stopped.
The ice crystal sword in Zuo Mo's hand was slowly rising. All of the river water in the surroundings furiously flooded towards the ice crystal sword, forming a gigantic "flame" made of water!
Zuo Mo's mind shook!
This move was a sword move that would harm both sides. It required all of the ling energy to be channeled into the flying sword, activating that drop of water essence in the flying sword. The sword would go against the flow and attack the enemy.
And he, chose to gamble!
The rapid river water roared like thunder, creating large patches of snowy white foam. Occasionally, one or two pieces of driftwood would be sucked into the water, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, on Wu Kong Mountain, Xin Yan suddenly opened his eyes. His body moved, disappearing from his spot and appearing on the cliff wall of the records room!
The little ice crystal sword, carrying the water-shaped flame formed by the river water, viciously sliced towards the sky!
If the risk failed, then it was definitely loss. If he didn't take the risk, then he would definitely lose.
But [Li Water Sword Scripture] had this move, and it was also the last move.
Manipulate Water Like Fire!
Because he knew that Luo Li Shixiong hadn't comprehended sword essence. This was the only thing he could use!
Boom!
Zuo Mo suddenly opened his eyes!
The three thousand six hundredth strike!
Faintly, he saw that soybean sized drop of water essence explode into countless mist-like water droplets!
Usually, halfway through, Zuo Mo would feel the sword move weaken, unable to continue. Adding on that Zuo Mo didn't dare to easily explode that drop of water essence in the flying sword, this move was even more difficult. It was hard to achieve even in practice. Just like this, Zuo Mo was stuck at the last move.
A deep and deep thunderous sound came out of his chest. The rapid river water suddenly stopped.
The sword moves of the previous six moves, some flowed downwards, some curved, some spun. Only this last move made Zuo Mo feel extremely puzzled. Going against the flow! How could water go against the flow?
This was the only place where he could win against Luo Li. He had comprehended sword essence once before!
Seven days, Zuo Mo wasn't sure if he could make a complete drop of water essence.
To be able to comprehend sword essence, his talent wasn't bad! And such an unique sword essence, he had never seen it before. He could clearly see that this incomparably enormous water-shaped flame was a violent water bullet bound by countless sword essences!
The ice crystal sword was cold in his hand, like holding an icicle. This thread of coldness followed Zuo Mo's arm and quickly entered Zuo Mo's body. He felt his mind suddenly clear. So this sword had such a wondrous use! Zuo Mo couldn't help but regret that he didn't study this flying sword more.
Zuo Mo's expression looked extremely strained. The tendons on his forehead bulged, his eyes glaring angrily, his hair standing on end. The ice crystal sword in his hand seemed as heavy as a thousand catties. Even raising it an inch became extremely taxing.
But seeing time continuously flow by, the time until the sect assessment became shorter, Zuo Mo couldn't help but panic.
Zuo Mo didn't rest or sleep, not stopping for a second to practice the sword.
There was no torrent, no whirlpool. The water around Zuo Mo seemed to have stopped, motionless.
