Shadowless Spirit Sword Sutra

It seemed like more life was taken away from him each passing second. He was not even attacking the seal by his own consciousness since it was fading away exhaustingly. His will has acted on its own volition and was coordinating this operation.

Xiao Ming was already nearly unconscious and the only signs of life ha had was a faint heartbeat and a slightly thumping chest. All signs of life and aura around him had turned too negligible, but between this life and death crisis, Xiao Ming found himself in a strange realm that seemed like the true world and the Netherworld at the same time. He could feel his body around still breathlessly attacking the hundredth meridian seal. But he could see that he had lost connection with his environment, it was an eerie sight.

"Where am I? I'm I still alive or am I dead" Xiao Ming asked himself as he stared at the barren lands and fruitful lands on opposite sides around him. Without a fright, he wandered in before a certain thought caused him to halt his steps.

"Moon devourer! Moon devourer!! Little Huan!" he called frantically as he seek for response. However, the only reply was his returning echo. The next minute however, an ancient voice rang out loudly in his mind. That voice was extremely mysterious as it sounded warmly from the depths of Xiao Ming's soul

"Little brat, this is the Yue Xiang land in where most refer to as Sheng Yun. It is through faith we are able to encounter each other. You've entered here through accidentally triggering the power of future. This is due to one of the specialties of your physique. Your journey through cultivation to seek the Dao must involve a lot of challenges and setbacks which you must experience to refine yourself into a true deity or an individual of power. You are one of the few who are either a threat or a blessing to the world through whichever way you are cultured to." The ancient voice sounded in his mind and a helpless sigh followed quickly afterwards.

SWOOSH!

"Senior... this junior takes your thoughtful words to heart... Can Senior enlighten this junior on his physique" Xiao Ming cupped his fists and asked politely. The area suddenly twitched with a strong azure radiance as though something was about to appear. Xiao Ming closed his eyes quickly as the rays of light were far too blinding to his 'mortal' eyes.

"Naturally, you will come to know of this physique later on. For now, due to my good-will and admiration for you, I can help you out of your current crisis. the rest is left for you once you leave this space." the ancient voice sounded again. However, this time a humanoid figure could be made out of the dazzling azure rays. The figure's aura was beyond compare and Xiao Ming could sense that even the draconic dao-beings were suppressed this time. It was his luck to meet such an encounter as this in the near-death situation he was presently facing.

PIAO!

Waving his finger, the ancient being released a gray blob of light that struck precisely at Xiao Ming's glabella. This blob of light penetrated easily into Xiao Ming's body and directly into his soul sea. The action was quick and not even Xiao Ming could tell what happened. A while ago, he was speaking to the mysterious figure and the next minute, a ray pierced through his forehead. That was an horrific sight.

BUZZ!

The gray blob of light buzzed continuously for a while. All of a sudden, it puffed up into lines of star dust. The stardust gathered to form ancient characters that shone with faint grayish light. The characters were sharp and exuded a strong amount of sword intent.

As Xiao Ming focused, the final bits of the stardust gathered to complete the rest of the gray text. As the full image appeared in his soul sea, he perceived an ancient scroll.

It turned out that this was a powerful cultivation method that the powerhouse had released casually. Xiao Ming's soul force was terrifying, but even at that, his soul was nearly wreaked into havoc due to the chaotic reaction caused by the scroll.

It took some efforts to finally the calm the radical scroll as peace returned to his soul once more. A piece of clear information swum into Xiao Ming's mind in torrents.

"Shadowless Spirit Sword Sutra, grade; supreme-grade divine sword sutra, attribute; sword dao....." Xiao Ming's eyes were eccentric circles as this stream of information ravaged his soul sea viciously.

Only after a while did he regain his clarity, but he felt his head grew numb as he broke out in cold sweat. Right then, the ancient figure began speaking again in an aloof tone.

"Little brat, if you are fated to practice this, you must go all out bearing the intent of peerless will. With this, you'll dominate your peers and walk around Wu Shui unhindered. But if you can't I must say that you are nothing more than a dog's excreta. Goodbye" the figure parted with an expressionless tone.

The azure radiance disappeared and a portal was ripped in space. Xiao Ming felt his head thumping and when he knew it, he was back.
