Speaking of the saber controlling techniques, it shouldnt be forgotten that Song Shuhang had already come in contact with the Temporary Sword Controlling Technique once.
That technique was a (failed) product of Great Master Profound Principles experiments that had the objective of lowering the level required to use the sword controlling techniques. Later, Great Master improved the technique and passed it to his disciples so that they could experience how it felt using the Sword Controlling Technique in advance. This way, lower-level disciples could temporarily experience the wonders of the Sword Controlling Technique by using a vocal command, together with an incantation and a hand seal.
However, Song Shuhang felt that experiencing the Temporary Sword Controlling Technique was more similar to just remotely using a flying sword instead of actually controlling it.
There were many similarities between the Sword Controlling Technique and remotely using a flying sword... but one merely needed a cultivators thought, while the other needed to remotely control the flying sword in order to take an enemys head from a thousand miles awaythe former was just cooler.
Sixteen brought out her life-bound treasured saber. Her saber belonged to the short-saber category, with it clearly being rather small. As she willed it to move, the short saber automatically left its scabbard, and circled around her body.
Song Shuhang asked, Sixteen, is this what you used when you were learning the Saber Controlling Technique?
...Shuhang felt that when it came to learning either the Saber Controlling Technique or the Sword Controlling Technique, wouldnt using such a small treasured saber or flying sword make the student feel insecure?
If he could, Song Shuhang hoped that he could use a big, door-sized sword (saber) to practice the Saber Controlling Technique. This way, it would be especially stable when flying, and he wouldnt have to be scared of falling.
Su Clans Sixteen replied, Of course, when practicing the Saber Controlling Technique, using ones life-bound treasured saber can allow one to grasp the Saber Controlling Technique much quicker. After all, the life-bound magical treasure and ones thoughts are in sync.
After saying that, a layer of light materialized on her short saber. It was just big enough to allow her and Song Shuhang to stand on it.
Sixteen raised her foot and took a step forward, and the short saber automatically flew beneath her feet, lifting her body. Then, she smiled, with dimples appearing on her face. Come on, Ill take you to that good place I was talking about.
Song Shuhang took a deep breath, and then gently stepped on the layer of light.
Stand firmly, Su Clans Sixteen said.
The short saber sank a bit, rose sharply, and rushed towards the sky at great speed.
This speed was... 100 m/s!
Speed was justiceafter all, regardless of which flying technique one was talking about, it had to be fast!
Sixteen, slow down, Song Shuhang said. There was still plenty of time; there was no need to rush. Furthermore, Sixteen was new to this, and the area of the layer of light underneath his feet was pretty small. When he was stepping on it, he didnt really feel safe at all.
Su Clans Sixteen said confidently, Dont worry, nothing untoward will happen. After I ascended to the Fourth Stage, I already mastered how to ride a flying saber, so you dont need to be afraid. Look ahead, and dont look down.
Perhaps it was because Sixteens face was full of confidence, but Song Shuhang felt a little less anxious.
The layer of light of the short saber carried Su Clans Sixteen and Song Shuhang higher and higher. After several breaths time, they had already reached over 1,000 meters in altitude.
Then, the saber light sped straight towards the southwest.
Song Shuhang asked, Where are we going?
Su Clans Sixteen replied, I actually dont know the name of the place. Last night, with Jiangnan University as the starting point, I flew straight in a single direction and found a quiet place. I then set up an illusion formation there so that we can practice the Saber Controlling Technique in peace.
Song Shuhang nodded silently.
Although Su Clans Sixteen was a new driver, she was very talented in riding a flying saber, with the flight being fast as well as stable. This greatly eased Song Shuhangs fear of heights.
They flew for around two minutes.
Song Shuhang asked, Are we still not there yet? The space the layer of light provided was only so big, so he couldnt help but approach Sixteen.
Just a little longer, well be there real soon, Su Clans Sixteen said, feeling relieved.
Although she had already mastered the Saber Controlling Technique, it was still her first time bringing someone with her. When she took Song Shuhang to the sky, shed been quite nervous.
Now, they were soon going to land. As such, Sixteen let out a breath of relief after the safe journey.
At this moment, Song Shuhang suddenly said, Wait. Sixteen, be careful, theres something ahead.
Su Clans Sixteen asked doubtfully, Where?
She looked ahead of them, but couldnt see anything.
Song Shuhang replied, Theres something in the layer of clouds right in front of us. Slow down first. Otherwise, well end up hitting it.
While they were talking, inside Song Shuhangs dantian, his Sage Seal slightly lit up. Similar to when he was in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm and in the Profound Sage Speech state, the Sage Seals radiance added a layer of dignity to Song Shuhang.
Su Clans Sixteen made a hand seal, and the saber light underneath their feet slowed down rapidly; they came to a stop in the sky. At the same time, she directed her gaze towards the clouds ahead, but she still couldnt see anything.
Was Song Shuhang having hallucinations?
Or was he able to see something that she couldnt see?
Just as Su Clans Sixteen was in deep thought, a root-like thing stretched out of the clouds in front of them. These roots twirled flexibly like long snakes. They were initially in a state of stealth, but now had become visible.
Su Clans Sixteens body became taut, just like a small leopard ready to pounce.
No need to be nervous. The other party shouldnt have any malice towards us, Song Shuhang said softlyit might be because he could also control lotus roots, but he felt that the roots had good intentions.
Song Shuhangs voice had just fallen when the clouds suddenly dispersed. A small tree that was just over a meter tall appeared in front of him and Su Clans Sixteen.
The trees trunk was small, but its roots were very big. It didnt seem to have a main root, with each and every one of its roots being over 60 meters long.
At this moment, its roots were pricking the surrounding clouds, seemingly absorbing some kind of spiritual energy from them and practicing.
It turns out that weve accidentally intruded an area where a tree monster was cultivating, Su Clans Sixteen said.
At this moment, the little tree said, Greetings. I apologize, Fellow Daoists. Ive just entered this area to cultivate, so I didnt get a chance to set up a formation to alert the incoming fellow daoists... Eh? Youre Profound Sage Tyrannical Song!
Due to the divinity show, as long as any practitioner in the universe saw Song Shuhang in the coming year, they would immediately know his name.
Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, I didnt think that I would meet you here! the little tree said excitedly. Your explanation of the Daoist Canon yesterday was terrific! Although I didnt understand everything, I was still able to gain very much from it. After your speech, I felt that I had more hope in ascending to the Fifth Stage Realm. I didnt think that I would actually get to meet you here today. Im so lucky!
The little trees excited words were slightly incoherent, and the leaves all over its body were trembling. It seemed to be even more excited than a diehard fan seeing their idol.
This little tree monsters strength wasnt too far off from Doudous, with both of them being about to ascend to the Fifth Stage. Its stealth ability just now was a special racial talent, and when it completely went invisible, even Su Clans Sixteen wasnt able to see it.
Youre welcome, Song Shuhang said with a smile.
At this moment, the little tree expectantly said, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, I... can I get an autograph from you? After it finished saying that, it trembled in excitement.
Song Shuhang was very worried that it might shake all of its leaves off with how excited it was.
Song Shuhang asked, An autograph? Where you want it?
The little tree asked expectantly, You... can you sign on my body? If it could ask the first Sage in a thousand years for his autograph, it would be more confident when the time came for it to transcend its tribulation.
Song Shuhang had heard of crazy fans that would want their idols to sign on their clothes, but it was his first time encountering someone like this little tree, who was asking to be signed on its body.
Song Shuhang asked, Alright... Sixteen, did you bring a pen?
Su Clans Sixteen shrugged as she said, Nope.
I didnt bring one, either, Song Shuhang said. He then looked at the little tree, which seemed even more unlikely to have a pen.
Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, wait! At this moment, the little tree stretched one of its branches out, grabbed it with its other parts, and then snapped it.
Snap! A long branch had been snapped off. Ink-like sap leaked out from the branch.
It looked really painful...
The little tree then expectantly said, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, if you arent against it, could you use my branch to sign on me?
No problem, Song Shuhang replied.
...What this little tree had done to get his signature made it really difficult for him to refuse.
[Do you want me to send you over to the little tree?] Su Clans Sixteen asked using the secret sound transmission method. Song Shuhang still had yet to learn the Saber Controlling Technique, and so was unable to fly in the air.
[Its fine, Im still able to move across such a distance,] Song Shuhang replied.
In the following moment, Song Shuhang raised his legs and stepped on air. As he stepped out, spiritual qi quickly condensed in the air, forming a delicate black lotus beneath his foot.
The black lotus was shining, just like a black crystal.
One step, one black lotus. Every time Song Shuhang took a step, a new black lotus would bloom under his foot... and the old black lotus behind him would instantly scatter, with its petals dissipating in the sky.
The young tree monster was even more excited after seeing this scene.
In the distance, the calm-looking Su Clans Sixteen was still alert. If the tree monster dared to suddenly attack Song Shuhang, she would immediately counterattack.
In a few steps, Song Shuhang arrived beside the tree monster and took the branch.
...Song Shuhangs face was calm, but in fact, he was also vigilant.
After all, Venerable White had divined this morning that he would be encountering some trouble in the future.
It was necessary for him to be mindful of harmful people and stay on guard.
