In the blink of an eye, another two months passed. Feng Xi discovered that she had reached a bottleneck in her cultivation.
No matter how she cultivated, there wasn't the slightest change in her meridians or the four spirit roots.
She felt like she should make an adjustment.
Thus, she switched to spending most of her time practicing swordsmanship.
Although the wooden sword was still half-dead as usual, Feng Xi forcibly increased her sword speed several times purely through her own speed.
That day, Feng Xi went to find Jun Wen to accompany her in sparring.
Jun Wen was startled, how had Little Junior Sister's sword speed increased so much?
Had this broken wooden sword finally awakened?
During a break, Jun Wen casually said, "Little Junior Sister, I think you've more or less mastered the Xuantian Sword Technique. Shouldn't you start figuring out your ultimate move?"
The so-called ultimate move was a technique derived from one's own comprehension of swordsmanship. It had to be personally realized, no one could help.
It depended on insight. Some people's ultimate moves were extremely powerful; others' were mediocre.
But overall, they were certainly stronger than ordinary moves, although they consumed much more spiritual power and weren't used lightly.
Feng Xi, however, didn't have such a problem!
Her cultivation method was different from others'. She could replenish spiritual power from the outside at any time. Ultimate moves could be used freely and unlimited!
If Jun Wen hadn't mentioned it, she might've almost completely forgotten about ultimate moves.
Thus, from that day on, she began contemplating her ultimate move.
She even observed others' ultimate moves.
Jun Wen's ultimate move was "Ten Thousand Swords Return as One." When used, spiritual power formed a giant sword descending from the sky, increasing attack power by more than threefold.
Jiang Ji's ultimate move was "Heavenly Net." Spiritual power formed a giant net that enveloped the enemy, although attack power only doubled, the attack range tripled.
Others' ultimate moves varied widely, but generally either expanded attack range or enhanced speed and power.
Feng Xi pondered for seven days and seven nights and finally comprehended her own ultimate move.
She excitedly went to find Jiang Ji to spar.
As for why not Jun Wen, she felt like her ultimate move was too powerful and Jun Wen wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Jun Wen: "..."
Me? Foundation Establishment Stage mid-fourth layer, can't withstand your ultimate move?
I want to see what this ultimate move of you is!
Jiang Ji was also very curious and began sparring with her.
Although Jiang Ji suppressed his cultivation, he was still in mid Golden Core Stage, and Feng Xi quickly fell into a disadvantage.
This rascal gave a wicked smirk, "Eldest Senior Brother, I'm going to use my ultimate move. Be careful!"
Jiang Ji heightened his vigilance. Then Feng Xi's spiritual power formed a large character—"Kneel"!
Jiang Ji: "..."
What the hell is this?!
Next, the thirteen strokes of the character "Kneel" each transformed into giant hands and slapped toward Jiang Ji.
More than half of them targeted the backs of his knees!
If struck, he would definitely kneel!
Jiang Ji was startled, but given his cultivation, he somewhat calmly evaded.
But if it was someone in early Foundation Establishment Stage, it might not be so easy for them to dodge.
He was about to give some comments when Feng Xi swung her sword again. Another "Kneel" character appeared!
The strokes once more turned into giant hands and struck toward Jiang Ji.
As soon as Jiang Ji dodged, Feng Xi conjured yet another "Kneel" character.
…
After repeating this six times, Feng Xi's nose began bleeding!
She could only stop here.
This rascal sighed regretfully, "Eldest Senior Brother, I can only use my ultimate move six times in a row right now. Aren't I too useless?"
Jiang Ji, who had been forced to restore to his Golden Core cultivation: "..."
On the side, Jun Wen silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Good thing Little Junior Sister didn't choose me, or I definitely would've knelt down.
Let's not even mention anything else, Little Junior Sister's ultimate move is too vicious!
Other people's ultimate moves only take your life, her ultimate move is coming after your dignity too!
Little did they know Feng Xi's thought process was this, I've knelt to the ancestors so many times, so I'll collect it back from others a thousandfold!
There's no helping it, I'm just that shameless!
Besides, how distinctive is this ultimate move?
It's definitely one of a kind in the entire cultivation world!
No matter who you are, kneel and call me 'Dad'!
Jiang Ji was silent for a long time, then quietly went back into seclusion.
If he didn't work harder, when sparring next time he might actually kneel down to Little Junior Sister!
He couldn't be humiliated like this!
Jun Wen also hurried back to cultivate.
He had originally been feeling somewhat complacent after his enlightenment, but this scared him awake.
Thus, Feng Xi… lost two sparring partners.
She could only go find the Golden Maned Suanni to spar.
The Golden Maned Suanni's big eyes immediately lit up!
Although its impression of Feng Xi had improved, it hadn't forgotten how she once tricked it into kneeling.
Scores still have to be settled!
So it happily fought with Feng Xi.
Then, it was dumbfounded!
What the hell kind of ultimate move was this?
Never heard of it, never seen it!
But it didn't care, no matter how strange the ultimate move was, it wouldn't be affected. After all, it was in mid Nascent Soul Stage!
That was until it saw Feng Xi consecutively flung six "Kneel" characters at it, and it began sweating.
Although it's still at ease at the moment, what if there were sixty? Six hundred?
Regardless of whether its sweating or not, Feng Xi had found a good sparring partner and frequently came to practice with the Golden Maned Suanni if she had nothing to do.
At first, the giant hands formed by the "Kneel" character couldn't even touch its fur. Later, as she could release more and more "Kneel" characters, she occasionally managed to yank out a handful of its mane!
The Golden Maned Suanni now cultivated desperately every day, terrified that one day it would be plucked bald!
One day, while Feng Xi was happily playing with the Golden Maned Suanni, Xiao Baidao summoned her.
Jiang Ji and Jun Wen were also there.
Xiao Baidao looked rather serious, "For some reason, the demons learned about the matter of the Nameless City and intends to send a delegation to investigate.
Although there have been frequent frictions between our Human Race and the Demon Clan in recent years, we haven't escalated to an open confrontation yet.
So after a discussion among the four sect leaders, we've decided to receive them warmly."
Feng Xi wasn't surprised. The demons definitely had informants among humans and must've learned about Nameless City through some channels.
Xiao Baidao continued, "The reception will be held at Hunyuan Sect, so you three should prepare yourselves. In a few days, you will accompany me there."
At the mention of Hunyuan Sect, Feng Xi's lips curved slightly.
Hunyuan Sect, tremble in fear!
For I, Feng Xi, have returned!
