Chapter 758: Dazzling Sky Sword Technique
Xiang Shaoyun had not expected to receive this kind of gift from the high priest. However, after spending a long while scanning the first Envoy of Light's statue, he still didn't find anything. He had no clue where the inheritance was.
The high priest isn't lying so that he can find an excuse to keep me here, right? thought Xiang Shaoyun doubtfully.
However, he also knew that the angels weren't a race good at lying. Walking circles around the statue, he continued thinking of a way to unveil the inheritance. He was hit by a sudden inspiration when his gaze landed on the statue's forehead.
"It's definitely related to the pearl on the forehead!" Xiang Shaoyun muttered confidently. He activated his Light of Wisdom and sent it toward the pearl.
Swish!
Suddenly, the Light of Wisdom connected with the pearl, becoming a ray of light. A phantom appeared in his head. Wielding the Radiant Saint Sword, the phantom attacked with a might capable of overturning mountains and rivers.
Wherever the sword arrived, mountains and rivers collapse, while heaven and earth overturned. The attack was shockingly powerful, capable of destroying the world. The phantom attacked so fast that no Emperor or Sovereign would be able to see the attack clearly.
However, Xiang Shaoyun was able to see the phantom's every move clearly and was able to memorize every detail of the attack. Perhaps that was due to the Light of Wisdom. In fact, only someone with the Light of Wisdom could obtain this inheritance since the first Envoy of Light was a top expert who also possessed the Light of Wisdom.
The Light of Wisdom was a unique talent, and in the entirety of the dominion, it wouldn't even appear once every 10,000 years. Xiang Shaoyun was someone with a filthless soul, and he had also been purified by the three suns and the Tower of Light. That was how he had obtained the Light of Wisdom by a stroke of good luck.
Xiang Shaoyun spent seven days standing still before the statue. It was as if he had also turned into a statue. The angels all made sure to stay clear of him during this period. On the eighth day, he finally moved.
The Radiant Saint Sword appeared in his hand. Right before the statue, he slowly swung the sword. His movement was extremely slow, and no astral energy was used. However, as he swung the sword, he seemed to emanate a certain sensation that felt extremely mysterious.
Dazzling Sky Sword Technique.
That was the sword technique the Envoy of Light had made his name with, and it was an incredibly powerful sword technique.
There were 12 stances in the Dazzling Sky Sword Technique: First stance, Dazzling and Eyecatching. Second stance, Shower of Light. Third stance, Sword Light and Blood Shadow. Fourth stance, Zero Light Feather Transformation. Fifth stance, White Steed Passing a Crack. Sixth stance, Demonstration of Might. Seventh stance, Concealed Light Alike Dragon. Eighth stance, Dashing Shadow Fleeting Light. Ninth stance, Invading the Nine Heavens. Tenth stance, Ten Directional Destruction. Eleventh stance, Regretless Remnant Light. Twelfth stance, Radiating All Living Beings.
From the phantom's demonstration, Xiang Shaoyun knew very well this Dazzling Sky Sword Technique was no weaker than the Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique. Perhaps it was even of a higher tier.
Although he had focused on the saber prior to this, he would definitely not give up on cultivating a sword technique so powerful.
If anyone else attempted this, it would be no different than biting off more than one could chew. But he now possessed the Light of Wisdom. Thus, comprehending any battle technique wouldn't be an issue for him. He also wasn't afraid of being dragged down by knowing too many battle techniques. He would cultivate anything he could.
After obtaining the Dazzling Sky Sword Technique, he was in no rush to leave. He asked for a cultivation spot so he could properly practice the newly obtained sword technique. After half a month, he was able to master the first four stances. As for the latter stances, he needed to increase his cultivation level before he could practice them.
Even so, he was very happy with the four stances, as they were far stronger than regular sovereign-grade techniques and were more than enough for him currently.
As he gently stroked the Radiant Saint Sword, his lips curled up into a smile. "I am now nearing the third stage. I can break through any time I want, but this is not a suitable location. It's time for me to return to the academy."
He then put his sword, battle outfit, and halo-like headband away. These were things he couldn't reveal for now. Additionally, his identity as the Envoy of Light had to be kept hidden as well. All these would serve as his trump cards.
When he took his leave, the high priest appeared reluctant to part with him. The high priest reminded him again and again that he should come visit whenever he had the time, also telling him that the angels would all miss him.
Naturally, Xiang Shaoyun agreed. From the moment he obtained the Envoy of Light's battle technique, a sense of responsibility for the angels had appeared in his heart. The high priest even offered to send him two angels as guards, but he rejected the offer.
Sure, it would be really amazing to bring the two angels back with him. But that would also reveal his relationship with the angels, and that was not something he wanted.
Once again, Xiang Shaoyun returned to the academy. When he returned, he brought the academy a piece of good news that the City of Light was once again opened for the academy. Earlier, they had only sent everyone away due to a certain reason.
The overseer did not bother asking anything. Instead, he brought Xiang Shaoyun to the meeting hall.
"Lord overseer, I have not committed any offenses. Why are you in such a rush to bring me to the meeting hall?" Xiang Shaoyun asked.
"You created such a big fuss in the City of Light, and even the principal was alarmed. Since you are able to leave alive, shouldn't you be reporting to the principal?" said the overseer.
Xiang Shaoyun laughed dryly, "Look, I'm fine. There is no need to waste the principal's time."
He really didn't want to face those geezers, as each time he met them, nothing good seemed to happen.
"The principal had personally ordered to have you meet him the moment you're out. I don't dare to disobey the principal," said the overseer. With a curious look, he asked, "Have you really become the Child of Light?"
"Do you think that's possible? I am the devil they tried to purify!" said Xiang Shaoyun with a shrug.
"Yeah, I don't think it's possible either. But the angels changed their attitude toward you very quickly. Kid, you must have obtained a fortuitous encounter, right?" asked the overseer.
By now, the overseer was already aware that Xiang Shaoyun was a nine-star physique holder that had insisted on cultivating nine powers. He felt regretful, but he also felt that Xiang Shaoyun was an unfathomable youth.
He knew the purification punishment very well. People rarely survived the punishment the moment one was placed atop the tower. Not only had Xiang Shaoyun survived, he had even caused the angels to have a change of attitude. That was the first time the overseer had seen something like this.
