Warren's Rise and Fall

At the south gate of Yangkai City, Wang Lunwo and Yan Jinfan slowly walked out of the city gate and gradually stepped into the world outside. The sun shone on them, reflecting two slender figures, which seemed a little small in this vast world but full of determination to explore.

"Brother Wang, you can get on my back now. I'll carry you and fly through the air. Although it's a little slow, it will take about two days to get there. It's much faster than walking." Yan Jinfan suggested to Wang Lunwo with sincerity and expectation in his eyes. He stood tall, his green shirt fluttering in the wind, as if he could soar into the sky at any time with his own cultivation.

Wang Lunwo frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said seriously: "Friend Yan, I think it is better to walk. After all, there is no time limit for this task. You can use this time to practice sword-wielding." His eyes were firm and his tone was calm. His black clothes swayed gently in the wind, revealing a calm air.

"Brother Wang, I would like to practice, but I had to leave the mountain gate before I could exchange the sword-controlling technique." Yan Jinfan showed a helpless look on his face. He shook his head gently, and unconsciously tightened his sword in his hand, as if he was a little annoyed that he had not prepared the sword-controlling technique in advance.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, don't worry, I'll see if I have it here." Wang Lunwo said, his eyes became focused, and he began to contact the remnant soul in the soul-soothing jade pendant. Speaking of which, he really hadn't communicated with Senior Remnant Soul for a long time. Deep in his heart, he was full of respect and a little dependence on this Senior Remnant Soul. After all, in the past practice, Senior Remnant Soul had given him a lot of valuable guidance and help.

"Senior, senior, do you have the most basic sword-wielding skills?" Wang Lunwo called silently in his heart, with a hint of eagerness and expectation in his tone.

"Boy, you haven't communicated with me for a long time. Have you forgotten an old man like me?" The voice of the remnant soul sounded in Wang Lunwo's mind, with a little dissatisfaction and complaint.

"No, senior, it's mainly because the journey was dangerous and I didn't have time to stop and talk to you." Wang Lunwo hurriedly explained with an apologetic look on his face. He was well aware of Senior Canhun's concern and help for him, and he also understood that his negligence during this period might have made the senior feel a little disappointed.

"Hmph, I know you were running for your life before, but you shouldn't have not talked to me, could you? Couldn't I have given you clear hints about the direction you were running in?" Although the remnant soul's tone was still filled with dissatisfaction, it was more about concern and worry for Wang Lunwo.

"Senior is right. I was inconsiderate. I'm really sorry. But right now, the fellow Taoist next to me really needs basic sword-riding skills. Otherwise, it would attract too much attention if he carries me in the air all the way." Wang Lunwo said sincerely. He knew very well that in this world of cultivation, keeping a low profile could sometimes avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

“Forget it. Next time, remember not to wait so long before thinking of me. I, an old man, am still useful.” The remnant soul paused, then slowly said, “Listen carefully. Ask your friend to release his spiritual energy and attach it to the sword. Then try to establish a connection between the sword and his spiritual consciousness. With his Dan Condensation Realm, he should know what spiritual consciousness is. After all, people in the Qi Ji Realm should have spiritual consciousness. Then keep in touch. Start by practicing with a weight of 10 kilograms. Then slowly add more weight. When you can finally control the sword, use the formula to connect the spiritual consciousness and control the sword with consciousness.”

"Thank you, senior." Wang Lunwo was delighted and quickly thanked Senior Canhun. Then, he turned around and told Yan Jinfan what Senior Canhun had said.

After Yan Jinfan learned about it, a hint of excitement and determination flashed in his eyes. He knew that this was a good opportunity to improve his strength. So, he immediately started practicing on the spot. He took a deep breath, mobilized the spiritual energy in his body, and slowly released it, trying to make the spiritual energy evenly attached to the sword. However, it was not smooth at the beginning. The spiritual energy seemed to be a little out of control and wandered around the sword. But Yan Jinfan was not discouraged. He kept adjusting his breath and spiritual power output. Gradually, the spiritual energy began to stably attach to the surface of the sword, flashing a faint light.

Next, Yan Jinfan followed the guidance of Senior Canhun and tried to establish a connection between the sword and his spiritual consciousness. He closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and extended his consciousness to the sword. This is a process that requires high concentration and keen perception. Although Yan Jinfan has a certain foundation in the use of spiritual consciousness, he still needs to continue to try and hone it in order to achieve a perfect match with the sword. He can feel that there seems to be a layer of estrangement between his spiritual consciousness and the sword, which requires his patience and perseverance to break.

As time went by, beads of sweat gradually oozed out of Yan Jinfan's forehead, but he was still immersed in the practice, concentrating on feeling the subtle connection between the sword and his spiritual consciousness. Wang Lunwo, who was sitting on the grass, was doing nothing. He looked at Yan Jinfan's serious practice and couldn't help but feel a little relieved. Wang Lunwo knew that on this path of practice, every effort and attempt could bring huge gains, and Yan Jinfan's concentration and persistence at this moment was the key step to a higher level.

Wang Lunwo looked up at the sky, the blue sky and white clouds set off each other, making people feel relaxed and happy. He recalled his journey of cultivation, which was also full of hardships and challenges. He had been on the verge of life and death countless times, and each time he survived with his firm belief and unyielding perseverance. Now, he and Yan Jinfan are embarking on a new journey together. Although he doesn't know what difficulties are waiting for them ahead, he believes that as long as they work together and continue to work hard to improve their strength, they will be able to overcome all difficulties.

Thinking of this, Wang Lunwo's eyes became more determined. He decided to think about his future practice direction during the time Yan Jinfan was practicing swordsmanship. He knew that there was still a lot of room for improvement in his strength, whether it was the practice of magic or the tempering of the state of mind, he needed to continue to improve.

While Wang Lunwo was lost in thought, Yan Jinfan's practice had made new progress. After many attempts, he finally succeeded in establishing a relatively stable connection between the sword and his spiritual consciousness. Feeling this wonderful connection, Yan Jinfan was filled with joy. He carefully controlled the sword and let it rise slowly. Although it was only a few inches off the ground, it was already a huge breakthrough.

Yan Jinfan was not satisfied with this. Following the instructions of Senior Canhun, he began to try to add weight to the sword. He found a stone weighing about 10 kilograms and tied it to the sword with a rope. At first, the sword became a little unstable under the weight, and the flying height also dropped a lot. But Yan Jinfan did not give up. He adjusted the output of spiritual energy and the control of spiritual consciousness again, trying to keep the sword balanced.

After some effort, the sword was finally able to fly relatively steadily with a weight of 10 kilograms. Yan Jinfan showed a satisfied smile on his face, knowing that he was one step closer to his goal of flying with a sword. However, he also understood that this was just the beginning and there was still a long way to go. He needed to practice continuously, gradually increase the weight, and improve his mastery of the sword technique.

The sun gradually set, and the sky was dyed a brilliant red. Yan Jinfan was still immersed in the practice of sword control, and his figure looked particularly resolute in the afterglow of the setting sun. Wang Lunwo came back to his senses from his meditation. He looked at Yan Jinfan's hard work and was full of expectations. He believed that in the near future, Yan Jinfan would be able to master the sword control skill, and they would go further on this path of practice.

As night fell, the countryside became particularly quiet. Yan Jinfan finished a day of practice. Although he was tired, his eyes were full of joy of harvest. He and Wang Lunwo found a sheltered place, lit a bonfire, and prepared to rest. In the light of the bonfire, their faces looked particularly warm.

"Brother Wang, thanks to your and that senior's guidance today, I feel I have a deeper understanding of swordsmanship." Yan Jinfan said gratefully.

"You are too polite, Brother Daoist Yan. Since we are traveling together, we should help each other. I believe you will master the sword-wielding technique soon, and then our journey will be smoother." Wang Lunwo responded with a smile.

The two sat around the campfire, eating dry food and exchanging their experiences in cultivation. The stars twinkled in the night sky, as if witnessing their growth and efforts. In this quiet suburb, their adventure in the southern region has just begun, and there are countless challenges and opportunities waiting for them to explore and meet in the future...
