Chapter 0086 – It’s Been a Long Time, Brother – Definitely Back

After the match with his father, two months passed in a flash.

During this period of time, my “Flying Sword Technique” has improved by leaps and bounds, and I have already cultivated to the eleventh level.

The competition with my father and Swordsman Ichika benefited me greatly, and my understanding of the “Flying Sword Technique” became more profound.

Now, there is only one last step to the completion of the “Flying Sword Technique”.

I knew that this last step needed an opportunity.

Maybe it’s a good match, maybe it’s a real battle between life and death, maybe it’s an epiphany while enjoying flowers with the One Flower Sword Venerable, maybe it’s an inspiration while reading a book of poems with the Blood Heavenly Taoist Devil, or maybe it’s a feeling while strolling under the moon with Ian ……

The final level of the “Flying Sword Technique” is so mysterious and elusive that no one can predict when it will arrive.

I put aside the cultivation of the “Flying Sword Technique” for the time being and focused on cultivating the “Time and Space Shifting Technique”.

When practicing martial arts, sometimes you will have a wonderful feeling, as if there is a force surging in your body, urging you to keep moving forward and break through the bottleneck.

The practice of the “Time Shift Technique” gave me this feeling.

Ten days ago, I finally shortened the time it took me to perform the Time Shift Technique to 100 breaths.

Since then, it was as if my cultivation had broken through some kind of shackle, and I had improved by leaps and bounds in a single day.

The “Space-Time Shifting Art” seems to have some kind of marvelous fit with me, and I can practise it with ease and with half the effort.

Perhaps it was because this technique did not require much time for cultivation, focusing more on the understanding of the technique and the enlightenment of the martial arts.

And those are two things that happen to be my strengths.

As my training progressed, the time it took me to perform the “Time Shift Technique” became shorter and shorter.

From a hundred breaths, to ninety-nine, to ninety-eight ……

I didn’t stop, but, with a flourish, continued to practice.

I’m like a traveler driving a horse-drawn carriage over a rugged mountain road, knowing that there may be an abyss ahead, but still going forward without hesitation.

Finally, I reached the finish line.

My wagon didn’t fall off a cliff, and I didn’t fall out of it.

I made it!

“I did it!”

I shouted out in excitement.

I can finally perform the Time Shift instantly!

With a thought, the scenery around me changed instantly.

I arrived at a beach with a blue sea and white sand like silver.

The sun is warm and bright, and the sea breeze is gentle and soothing.

A large, leafy tree grows on the beach, and a comfortable lounge chair sits in the shade.

In the distance, seagulls soar freely in the air.

This is the private space of my dreams.

Perfect!

As the casting time shortened, the amount of true qi needed to maintain this space also decreased a lot.

I lay back in my recliner and closed my eyes, enjoying the rare peace and quiet.

I stripped off my clothes, jumped into the ocean, and swam and frolicked to my heart’s content.

I was lying on the sea, looking at the white clouds floating in the sky.

This is my world, my paradise.

There is no killing, no fighting, no intrigue, only peace, only serenity, only joy.

I suddenly had a bold idea.

How great would it be if I could slow down the passage of time in this dimension?

This way I can cultivate here without worrying about the strife in the outside world.

I know, it’s just a nice fantasy.

But I still can’t help but fantasize.

“When Sect Leader Feng Tian returns, I’ll have to ask him if there’s such a possibility.” I secretly said in my heart.

I know he would have laughed at my whimsy.

But I still want to try.

I played on the beach for a long time before I was sad to leave this private space that was mine.

I had just gotten back to my place when I felt someone coming.

I can clearly perceive everything outside.

That’s the beauty of a space I’ve created for myself.

“Young Lord, are you there?”

It was Zhang Hu’s voice.

“I am.” I responded.

With a thought, I deactivated the “Time Shift”.

“Young Lord, where did you go just now?” Zhang Hu asked as he looked at me, curiosity in his eyes.

I would love to tell him that I just went to a beautiful beach.

But I held back.

“I was just practicing a secret art.” I said faintly.

“What secret art?” Zhang Hu asked curiously.

“A secret art that allows me to disappear instantly.” I said with a smile.

“So powerful?” Zhang Hu said in surprise.

“Generally average.” I said with a smile.

“Young Lord, news has come from the Refining Workshop side, saying that the item you commissioned them to build has been completed.” Zhang Hu said.

“Okay, go get your stuff and then inform the others to come to my place for the party tonight.” I commanded.
