Elements Bending

"Ehh! Elder brother, do you have no shame?" When Mac asked about his size, Li Xian's face blushed in shame as he shouted inside his mind. At the same time, Xiao Feng started explaining to him.

"I can manipulate air. My powers allow me to control air and do bending."

"What is bending?" Li Xian asked with confusion.

"The bending that I am talking about is manipulation. Unlike normal bending, our bending is completely related to elements. As a wind spirit, I can air bend. I can manipulate the air around me with my consciousness as I want. I can turn it slow, fast, completely empty, filling the space full of air, float, and even use it for my offense, defense, and movement."

"So, it's basically manipulation." Li Xian nodded his head.

"Although it's manipulation. We call it bending. I am wind spirit, so I can air bend. There are fire spirits, water spirits, they can do bending of their own element. And there is another thing that I can do." Saying so, she instantly released white gas and disappeared.

When the white gas disappeared, a sword floated in the air.

"I can transform into any weapon. And using me, young mater can bend air for the advantage in your fight. Of course, there is something more that a young master can do. Because my current strength is low. You can't use hundred percent of my ability to manipulate air."

"So, the young master needs to learn Wind Aura. Unfortunately, you are a swordsman. And normally, a swordsman does not practice anything else but sword aura." Xiao Feng's voice rang from the sword.

"Wow! This is amazing." Li Xian stood up, held the sword, and swings it few times. He found the sword was very flexible and it was very light. But suddenly, he froze and said "Xiao Feng, can you stop confusing me with your talking rhythm. You don't have to address me as young master during our conversation."

"Alright." A low-spirited voice rang from the sword. While swinging the sword a few times, Li Xian thought 'Being inside the sea of consciousness, I can still practice sword aura. And same goes for Elder Brother. I need to find something to change my face quick and visit one of the Martial Arts Sect.'

'I am too weak right. But I can't focus on anything else but a sword. I need strength but sword cultivation is long. Elder Brother can focus on martial arts while I can focus on sword art. I need to use the maximum benefit of my current condition.'

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes used his spiritual sense to send him out of the treasure. The next moment he opened his eyes, he appeared in front of the grave. He turned his head around him and saw no one.

He looked at the grave and found it was completely fine. But seeing this grave made him realize that he forgot to ask his mother about the reason behind this grave.

Why would you want to build a grave even though you aren't dead? No one would build their grave for fun. And he doesn't think his mother build one for fun either. But he couldn't understand the exact reason behind it.

But no matter what, he needs to do as his mother instructed him. He walked in front of the grave, got on his knees, and kowtow three times. Suddenly, his gaze fell on the words written on the grave. The pillar that was empty previously now has a name on it.

A shock appeared on his face as his eyes widen and his breathing hastened. He saw three words written on the stone pillar.

"Xuan Family Grave"

'Xuan Family? Does this mean the mother's family surname is Xuan? Xuanwu, Xuan, is there some kind of relationship between these two?' Silently, Li Xian thought for a while. Mac also learned about it and decided to stay silent.

Finally, he stood in front of the grave for ten and finally moved away. He went to visit his previous home. As he expected, nobody was able to see it. And so, he walked inside a thatched house made out of bamboo.

Even till now, he doesn't understand why others weren't able to see his house. But no matter what, he was happy that his house wasn't destroyed. After all, this house holds memories with his mother. Those memories always make him smile.

But now was the time to leave this place. He was conflicted. He didn't know how this house was hidden from others. So, he wasn't sure to leave this house as it is.

"Elder Brother, what should I do? I am confused." Finally, Li Xian decided to ask Mac.

"Did you ever fought monster beasts here?" Mac didn't reply instantly since even he doesn't know everything. In fact, he doesn't know anything. He was just guessing everything based on the plotlines of the novels he used to read.

"No, since it was our home. I simply couldn't let monsters find it. I used to fight some monsters cubs when I find them. And I never fought a monster like a wolf and a tiger. The best that I could fight was a horned pig and turtle lizard." Li Xian shook his head and replied.

Horned Pigs are normally Rank One Low-Level Monsters and the cub of Horned Pig has the strength of a teenager like him. Its body is also bulky with a horn on its nose.

As for Turtle Lizard; it is one of the subspecies of lizards that grew shells on their body. The shell of a cub lizard is weak but an adult lizard shell can't be broken even with a Rank One Middle-Level Monster attack. Even though Turtle Lizard could barely reach Middle Level in their lifetime.

"So, if I guess correctly, then there should be an illusion around here. This illusion can only be seen by you and your mother." Any other conclusion didn't come to his mind. He directly looked at the house that seems covered with lots of trees but still not a single bird or animal.

Although they were at the very edge, the whole forest was roamed by monsters. It would be impossible for them not to discover such a place. And, his new mother is very strong. To set up such illusions should be an easy task for her.

"If I had heard this before, I would believe it. But now that I know the truth, I can accept it." Nodding his head, Li Xian walked away. He originally thought of taking the things inside the house but now he changed his mind.

Something is just meant to be at their destined place, just like the memories. Although he had improved his strength, Li Xian decided to walk from the edge. After all, he wasn't an idiot to invite death. But the moment, he tried to use his sword aura, his face changed.

"What happened? Where is my sword aura?"

His mind filled with confusion. He tried to look deep but couldn't find a single trace of his sword. At this moment, Mac spoke, "You lost it."

"What do you mean by losing it? How can I lose it?" The anxiety on his face grew and his eyes started filling up with worry. In an instant, he didn't hesitate to sit down on the ground and meditate. He thought his mind was too chaotic that why he can't find the sword aura?

"Idiot, you lost it means you lost it. The moment your emotions took over you, your sword aura disappeared. Because your sword belief was shattered along with your sword aura. If you want to form another sword aura, you need to reform your sword belief."

"But the question is, what is your sword believe? You said you chose the sword path to fulfill your dream but if that dream is against your family, would you still believe in your dream, if that dream is against your family, Would you still believe in your sword?" Mac yelled at him inside his consciousness.

"You are wrong, Elder Brother." Li Xian shook his head and answered. His sudden answer made Mac startled. He couldn't understand why Li Xian changed so much. But Li Xian understands, he never changed. The only thing that changed was his nature.

"Humans are lazy but they are also hardworking. Our ancestors worked hard and now we are lazing. Among us, some still work hard. Previously, I was one of them. But my mentality was wrong. I was caught off by other words and their feelings that I forget my own origin."

"Hard work is necessary especially when you have a chance to achieve your dream by working hard. Previously, I didn't have that chance. But now, I have a chance. I was mad because I thought if I had a Divine Vein, everybody would be my friend and love me."

"But if I hate the people most close to me. What's the point of having that talent? My dream was to stand at the peak of this world, pointing my sword at everyone, I just wanted to ask 'One sword from me, who dares to take it?'"

"But now, my dream is to stand at the peak of the world, pointing my sword at nine heavens and asking 'One Sword from me, who dares to take it?'"
