Chapter 3667: Chapter 1785: Tide Rising (Part 2)
At least all along the way, the conclusion he gained from that broken wheel was "no malice," and that was enough.
Given that the Way of Name and the self are so compatible.
Even a brief struggle with the passive system couldn’t yield stronger resources.
In the past half year, Xu Xiaoshou certainly did not give up on acquiring passive points because of this. Although he didn’t spend much after that, he felt he had reached the limit.
"Passive Points: 999999999."
One billion!
To be precise, just a mosquito’s bite away from a billion!
This was the first time Xu Xiaoshou touched the upper limit of passive points, and it enlightened him to a possibility:
"The passive system may be about to reach its limit."
If this assistance, the final limit is at the time of his sanctification, to push him to the ordinary Ten Ancestor Realm.
It seems enough.
It is also the cage!
Xu Xiaoshou was not in a hurry to sanctify and put aside the thought of spending passive points.
After consulting Bazhun’an, he did not hesitate long before he made up his mind to treat himself as a beginner again, to cultivate his name.
He saw the baseline.
He wanted to go further.
So for half a year, he spent nearly ninety-nine percent of his time on cultivating the "Way of Name," on interpreting "Name as Water," until today...
...
"Half a year!"
Xu Xiaoshou gripped the stone sword, raised his head, and stared at Hua Changdeng, his gaze serene, like water without ripples.
Name as Water.
Water has no fixed form, it moves with the flow, bends when encountering stones, curves when paths are blocked.
In every filthy and dirty place that no one wants to go, where no beast wants to settle, water can find peace.
Water springs from places without roots.
Water, in nature, may come from rain, condense into fog, or seep from the underground darkness to nourish all things.
Name is the same!
Name springs from nowhere.
Name, in the five regions, forms under the gaze of a thousand eyes, condenses at the root of the Great Path, and grows where no one cares. Now summoned, it merges into rivers and seas.
The stone sword in Xu Xiaoshou’s hand is the river and sea.
When he raised the sword and spoke of "Perfect morality like water."
What shocked Hua Changdeng was not the lofty intent of his Way but that his Way was successfully realized in just half a year!
"Hoo-hoo..."
The noise of fame howled, like a long wind.
In the eyes of the Five Domains Spectators, another world was constructed above the Holy God Continent—the Name Mist Sea!
Everyone could see that it was the Second World.
But is it an illusion?
No, Great Illusion has no void, Big Thought as Normal.
Lord Shou’s Second World had long since transcended the "Fantasy Sword Technique," born from reality and also achieved in reality!
One sword summoned the Name Mist Sea, like the War Ancestor phenomenon descending.𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
And the intent of Lord Shou stood at the top of the Lonely Building in the misty sea, the stone sword like rivers and seas, all fame gathered onto his sword and his person.
"Rumble..."
The Central Yuan world suddenly trembled.
Then the whole Ghost Buddha Realm began to shake.
Xu Xiaoshou pulled out the stone sword in the void, the stone uncracked, the sheath unbroken, yet it was like unsheathing a sword hidden for years, an overflowing sharpness.
Under the nourishment of the ten thousand streams of the Name Mist Sea, the clear and transparent water quickly twined up the sword body of the stone sword, flowing gently.
"Half a year, do you know how I came through..."
Lord Shou raised his sword and walked slowly towards Hua Changdeng, his aura greater with each step.
Five Domain Spectators, upon seeing the continental phenomena, began to search for reasons, and soon they flocked into the matchmaking Gold Apricot’s transmission screen.
Eight million...
Nine million...
Ten million...
The matchmaker had never reached this height!
When Lord Shou came down the mountain after half a year and brought just his first sword, the matchmaker was already pushed to the highest reverence in the transmission world.
In the Gold Apricot’s screen, the heated discussion grew more intense.
Some people were asking, "How is Lord Shou..."
Some were asking, "What is the Ming Sword Skill..."
Some were asking, "This sword, isn’t it just now the ’Name·Ten Stages Sword Point’ of Lord Shou..."
The matchmaker had lost the ability to explain.
She admitted, in big scenes, she was indeed inferior to Feng Zhongzui, unable to fathom the true meaning of Lord Shou’s sword at all.
But the fact is, Feng Zhongzui was also watching this sword, and he didn’t understand it either.
Not to mention he didn’t understand it, even the old family head Feng Tingchen didn’t understand, even facing Hua Changdeng also didn’t understand!
There’s no need to understand.
Whatever is focused on, name must grow.
And for the name to completely fission, for the Way of Name to completely attest to the Way, Xu Xiaoshou’s sword not only needed to be unleashed but needed to sever Hua Changdeng clearly and unmistakably!
"In half a year, I observed streams, lakes, rivers, marshes, seas, tasted mist, rain, tides, waterfalls, floods, examined life, and comprehended mysteries, gaining much insight."
"Name as Water, sea embraces all rivers, thus my sword shall gather all nameless and named in the five regions."
"This name was born like a stream tinkling, nourishing and sustaining me."
"This name ends like raging waves, overturning the world."
"And Hua Changdeng, to sever you, less than seventy percent strength is needed, a single stone sword is sufficient, my sword is called ’Rising Tide’."
"If you can withstand it, I will acknowledge you as the ’Ghost Sword Immortal.’
"If you can’t withstand it..."
With a sneer, Xu Xiaoshou’s face showed mockery: "Old Deng, go see ghosts!"
Bang——
With one sword raised, the thunder of the five regions shook.
The Name Mist Sea suddenly churned.
Beneath the illusory deep sea covering the five regions, it seemed an ancient land beast awakened, turned over, and at that moment the sea waves shattered the sky, heaven collapsed, and earth cracked.
The matchmaker felt her eyes and ears were about to be pierced by "Name."
She lowered her head, trembling, fearing to look up, having no courage to see the Ancestral God again.
But the Name Mist Sea, born of illusion, and exists in reality, anyone at this moment with "Lord Shou," with the name "Number One Sword Deity" in their mind, could not escape.
But in a breve moment, after the Name Mist Sea’s fury, it completely exploded, ten thousand streams burst and surged, ultimately gathering on Lord Shou, the stone sword, and across the entire Ghost Buddha Realm.
