Above the deck.
The fierce wind was raging, the storm volatile.
Xiao Yi stood amidst the wind and rain, he slowly opened his arms, his Sword Intent at the fourth stage responding to his will. He was perceiving the force of heaven and earth, acting with the flow, capable of surpassing the wind, surpassing the power of lightning and thunder.
Riding the waves might be exhilarating, but it's not as effortless as drifting with the current.
Defying the heavens indeed has its flair, but it's not as comfortable as acting in harmony with them.
This is the fourth stage of Sword Intent.
Generally speaking…
Only upon reaching the Dharma Manifestation Realm and fully mastering a force of heaven and earth could one attain this level. Even many masters of the Dharma Manifestation Realm had not grasped the fourth stage of Sword Intent.
Yet Xiao Yi had reached this realm while still in the First Layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm.
