Lord Shadow

Chapter 563: Thirteen steps of gods and devils (2)

He saw the Zhou River and saw the boats that swing on it.

He travelled along the scenery of the Zhou River and watches the water flows and its moonlight, the light of the moon reflected from the water, looking very mystical when night descended

He met the Pipa Wanderer and spoke about him about music and martial arts. When the Pipa Wanderer plays it melody it is like the sound of a bird flying around inducing emotions all kinds of emotions.

The Pipa Wanderer seems to forge a friendship with Xi Feng as Xi Feng spoke to him about other musical instrument. Azief saw that his disciple slowly opening his heart back to the world.

The world has a lot of darks things and evil people.

That is true. And Xi Feng experiences that. He experiences the dark schemes of people that is guided by ambition. He experiences loss.

And he learns to grieve.

But the world is not only filled with bad people. it is also full of good people. Not everyone the same and when evil reigns, righteous men will rise up.

Azief experience many things and soaks it all up like a sponge

It is a different feeling when he was on his Earth. He took his time soaking up this life. This experience of his is unlike the Six lives in the Six Sabers.

That life is Azul life. Thus there are certain things he could not truly understand or felt

Thus, he soaks the experience of life in this world as the Sword God, the black robe grandmaster of martial arts that everyone ion the martial arts world revered.

Sometime when he was traveling through the Zhou Rivers, there would be some swordsman and martial artist that would risk their life to test one strike of his sword.

Other times, they wanted to learn from him. For those who challenge him, he spares them. For those who want to learn from him, he asks them to demonstrate their sword art to him

When he was feeling generous, he would speak of its flaws and the way to improve it. When he is in a bad mood, he would ask them to get out from his face.

Azief experience this life leisurely.

He thought that if one day he could understand life maybe he too could wield the Wheel of Reincarnation and Rebirth.

The Wheel on his hand is the Wheel of Reincarnation

He did not summon it again after he trapped Sithulran inside that. He doesn’t know how many lives Sithulran has lived inside that Wheel.

What is he sure of Sithulran would never be able to come out from that Wheel.

He realizes that one fine day. He is beginning to think about the past. Instead of stopping it, he let it happens naturally.

sometimes when he walks around the rivers with Xi Feng pushing his wheelchair from behind, his mind would sometimes wander at the things that happens in the past.

He thought of many things and contemplated on his decision. He did not try to see whether his decision was right or not.

After all, he had made his decision. He just wanted to review it. If there is a mistake, next time he won’t do it again.

Sometimes, he thinks about that beauty that surrounded by ice. Sometimes he thought about that beauty wielding the bow. Other times he thought of the alchemist. Sometimes he thinks about the trickster and the Speedster.

He thought about home and the people that he loved and miss

It made him sentimental. The further he goes; he knows the closer he is to home. But he too had a home here.

Home was never a place. It is the people. When he thinks about Earth he would remember that Xi Feng would also be sad when he went away

He continues his journey down and went to visit the Dragon Gate Steele. Each of the Steele is thirty feet tall, and in the bottom of the Steele, a long dragon is carved onto it. The Dragon Gate Steele seems to display an undecipherable word.

Azief think of something interesting to do as he carved one part of his manual onto the empty part of the Dragon Gate Steele.

After that he went further down. And he finally arrived at Poison Valley. Azief wanted to infiltrate the Psion valley because he had something he wanted from it.

They both broke into the Poison Valley after passing the Eight Confusing Trails and passing through the poison fogs that protected the valley from intruders

Xi Feng fought the Poison Maiden the moment they were discovered.

Azief could see that there is a complicated relation between the Poison Maiden and his disciple.

It seems that the Poison Maiden is smitten with his disciple. And his disciple also seems like he is fond of the girl.

Azief only shake his head when he saw it. The matters of the hearts are one of the most complicated matters there is.

It seems that during the battle of the Five Element Mountain, his disciple had leave a strong impression on the Poison Maiden

Azief knows that if they both like each other, the path that they had to trod would be very hard.

The Poison Maiden is the successor of the Poison Valley and the Poison Valley is one of the heterodox sect.

While Xi Feng were titled Sword Demon, the martial arts world still regarded him as an orthodox sect member.

Azief could only pretend that he did not see it. While Xi Feng is busy trying to stop the Poison Maiden from coming near him, Azief fought their Poison Matriarch.

That time was the first time Azief saw how poison users uses their techniques.

In his world, no one would dare use poison in front of him.

Most of the people on his Earth knows that Death Monarch possess an almost invulnerable body and no normal poison would work on him.

The Poison King Takashi even tries to make one for him.

The Poison Matriarch is the first person that executed poison techniques in front of him. All of her techniques is very deadly as each of her attacks spews poison from every part of her attack

There is contagious disease poison that could end one life in suffering when she attacks.

Unfortunately, none of her attacks do anything to him. Azief body is a body that is forged by Tribulation Lightning, and Purification by Divine Fire.

Mortals poison could not do anything to his body.

He reckons that if a meteor falls down to this planet and this planet exploded into smithereens, he would still be alive, floating endlessly in the dark space.

Azief then disarm the Poison Maiden with a strike on the neck while he ordered Xi Feng to ransack the Poison Depository of the Poison Valley

He wanted something specific from the Poison Valley and that is why he break in the valley.

While all of this was happening, the Three Devils robs the Poison Valley of their poisons manual.

They left the Poison Valley empty and the stories of their deeds were spread through all the martial arts world thus increasing his reputation once again.

Coming out from the Poison Valley, Azief remembers that they met a few interesting people before they reach their next destinations.

As he was traveling further down, Azief use that time to research the poison manuals and he gains another type of way of using internal energy and he decided to incorporate it in the internal energy technique that he will create.

After a few days he finally arrived at the meeting place in Xia. Xia has a large flat hill in the city of Fangling.

It was there that he meets Immortal Tian, Old Dragon Li and Demonic Monarch Xie. Everyone was informed of this matter and everyone wanted to meet each other and compare their martial arts

Even before he arrived at the venue, the venue was full of martial artist that wanted to watch the battle of the century.

Immortal Tian and Old Dragon Li come together. Not long after Demonic Monarch Xie arrive.

They spoke about the matters of the past. And Azief inquire about the matters of the Flowing Sword Arts.

He demonstrated all thirty-three moves of the Flowing Swords Arts first and give the martial artist that come to watch the battle an unforgettable moment where he cut apart one hundred sword using the Flowing Sword Arts.
