A huge crescent slash fell from the sky.
The tip of the slash directly tore the surrounding air and struck at the ground mercilessly.
Then, there were more and more terrifying sword slashes.
A huge number of sword slash continued to fall on the ice sculptures shattering them completely.
The terrifying sword slashes and power made the audience tremble all over.
--------------------------
...
: So crazy, so beautiful, the path that Jingliu chose is the path of the sword.
: Such a terrifying power, such a person is too pure.
: Finally I understand, those black hands are her distracting thoughts.
: Her acting is too good! This look is really like a madman, but not a madman, but a performance that is particularly focused on the way of the sword!
: I feel like the screen is going to be smashed to pieces.
...
The audience was shocked and started commenting.
When the last sword slash fell, the screen turned black, showing a X shaped slash mark.
Originally, the audience thought that this shocking impact frame would end the PV.
But in fact, it was Jingliu herself who ended it all.
From the sky, Jingliu swung her sword and stabbed down.
She pierced the ice sculpture into the ground without mercy.
The camera pulled away.
More ice sculptures were pierced by the ice spikes raised from the ground.
It was also at this time.
The music, which seemed to be telling Jingliu's emotions, gradually became stable.
Jingliu was seen walking in the opposite direction, without even a glace at the frozen statues, towards the huge moon in the distance.
"And so, I wield my blade to the very end,
until the "stars have been cut down from the sky.
This oath, I will never forsake."
Jingliu left, the music also ended.
Even MiHoYo's logo at the end was frozen, and ice spikes appeared on the fonts.
Even after a few minutes after the PV, the audience did not recover.
Recalling the whole PV, it was done in one go.
Before the interruption ended, the questions conveyed to the audience through the pictures, lines, and music were also answered.
Those love-hate entanglements.
Can her sword cut them off?
Can cut them off!
This is the way to cut off all confusion.
The only way to go in this life is to hold the sword in your hand and implement the way of the sword.
This is the path that Luofu Sword Master should have taken.
Of all the past things, Jingliu only cut off her past self with her own hands.
And also about who the star was, that she wanted to cut off.
Until this time, the audie0nce started to brush the barrage crazily.
...
: Nothing to say, this is the most charming episode in my personal PV so far.
: I was very sad when I heard the music at the beginning, but after watching it, I was just shocked.
: A person who was born completely for the sword, she is worthy of being the Luofu Sword Master, so damn appropriate!
: Jingliu's biggest inner demon is herself, so she killed herself, ruthless, a real ruthless person.
: This is what happened after she fell into mara? Did Jingliu kill herself and return to the Xianzhou?
: The last sentence "stars" was specially put in quotation marks. Damn, Jingliu is not going to kill the Aeons?
: Domineering and wanton.
: Some regrets, and some sadness. The road to becoming the sword master must not allow for personal feelings, but seeing Jingliu really cut off the past and cut off emotions and desires, it is still a bit uncomfortable.
: Yes, in the long life, is the comradeship with High-Cloud Quintet all over?
...
In addition to these barrages.
In the comments below the video.
There are also a lot of very informative remarks.
"The entire PV fully presents an abstract concept to us, that is, the scene where Jingliu fights with her inner confusions and finally determines her own path."
"What's even more amazing is that through the pictures, there are some actions, such as the background music, the frosted leaves, and the lines"
"Without any specific pictures, we, the audience, can directly experience what Jingliu is thinking."
"The narrative is getting better and better. I don't even dare to imagine what big things Honkai: Star Rail will do next."
...
Another comment is even more profound.
"I just saw someone say in the comments that Jingliu has cut off all emotions and desires, which is inaccurate."
"On the contrary, in the entire Honkai: Star Rail, once this PV is released, no one is more three-dimensional than Jingliu"
"She has the happiness and recklessness when she was with High-Cloud Quintet, the decisiveness and determination when charging into battle, the madness and ruthlessness during her fall into mara"
"But what has never changed is the pure sword intent!"
"Did you find that this is what really runs through Jingliu's life?"
"When she recalls the past, she will miss it and feel sad, but what has changed is that these things will no longer be obstacles to her progress."
"Just like those black hands in the PV"
"One line in particular proves this point for me."
"That is Jingliu going to cut the stars"
"Who are stars in this context? It is definitely an Aeon or more like The Abundance. Her hometown was destroyed by Abundance, and High-Cloud Quintet's fate also started from Abundance."
"This hatred has never changed."
"Jingliu is not without emotions, but is more focused on her sword. Emotions and bonds will make her reminisce, and she will not refuse them, but the sword is what she will pursue for the rest of her life."
"This PV, as well as the complex personality of Jingliu, can actually be expressed with a poem by the boss"
Under this comment.
A bunch of people were praising the person who posted it.
...
: Damn, so that's how it is! I was thinking something else.
: But no matter what, Jingliu is alive.
: Cutting off the self, cutting off the stars, damn, too crazy! Crazy criticism of beauties! So interesting!
: Sword master, sword master, this is what I think of a sword master. In other dramas, they start dating as soon as they have an identity.
: Now recalling the look in Jingliu's eyes, wow, that's the true expression of sword master!
: Her acting skills are also explosive. This kind of look is not something that ordinary people can release.
...
Later, this fan also posted the poem
"Flying mirror under the moon, clouds forming sea tower"
"I still love the water of my hometown, which sends my boat thousands of miles away."
This fan almost all the concepts that the PV wants to convey are expressed.
Especially this poem is so appropriate.
On the screen, seeing this comment with poem turned out.
Xia Wen nodded secretly.
In fact, it is true.
Although the PV shows the audience that Jingliu cuts off her inner confusions in an abstract way.
But because of the lack of story.
It will make the audience feel that Jingliu has no emotions.
In fact, it is the same as before. It's just that the previous Jingliu would also be bound by various things and people around her.
And temporarily forget what she is pursuing.
The High-Cloud Quintet and the destruction of Cangcheng are both major events in Jingliu's life.
But her life span is too long.
Many stories will eventually become memories for her.
Only the sword is what has always been with her.
If Jingliu really wants to cut off her emotions and desires, she can't just go to visit Bailu.
But all of this is not the most important one for her now.
The sword is the most important.
And the sword must be stained with blood.
For a swordsman of Jingliu's level, the blood on the sword must be stained with the most precious blood.
...
"Beautiful poem"
"Flying under the moon, clouds forming sea waves"
"It seems like it is depicting Jingliu herself."
"I still love the water of my hometown, and I send my boat off for thousands of miles. This means that Jingliu will not forget her hometown either." Firefly struggled to do the reading comprehension.
"No, no, this is a poem by Li Bai, a very famous poet."
"I can only say that you can relate to it, but this poem is not specifically about Jingliu." Fu Xuan immediately gave Firefly some knowledge.
But then, she nodded and said, "But when you think about it, it is true that these few lines of poetry can perfectly express the depths of Jingliu's heart."
"Originally, that's how it is"
"It seems that I still have a lot of books to read." Firefly smiled shyly, and then said in surprise "But Jingliu's PV is so attractive, so your PV must be wonderful too, Sister Fu Xuan!"
Fu Xuan turned her head away slightly embarrassedly and said "Ahem, I've told you so many times, don't call me sister, I'm the same age as you." But in her heart, she felt an inexplicable sense of responsibility and satisfaction because someone called her sister.
"I don't have any big requirements, as long as I can achieve 100% of the 'Swordward' PV." Fu Xuan said, but her eyes were fixed on the screen.
She was looking forward to seeing her own PV.

Author's little cave:
Everyone, is there really so much context in Jingliu's PV?
Or am I the only one not able to understand the PV?
Also, anyone knows the poem in the chapter? Can you give me the correct version if you can?
Your opinions please!
