Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

In an antique study, only an old man and a young man sat facing each other.

The dim, flickering candlelight illuminated the two figures.

In the warm glow, Qin Gang sat cross-legged, his back straight, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the young man before him.

Li Guanqi sat upright on a futon, looking at the old man with humility.

Qin Gang looked at the favored son of heaven before him with gentle and loving eyes.

Immortal Essence surged within him, and a spiritual sword condensed in front of him.

“Congxin, I ask you.”

“What is the Sword Dao?”

Li Guanqi narrowed his eyes, and after only a moment of contemplation, he gave his answer.

“My sword is for killing!”

Qin Gang raised an eyebrow and asked quickly.

“Why for killing?”

Li Guanqi took a deep breath, and a blood-red phantom of Sword Soul Realm sword intent emerged behind him.

Li Guanqi said firmly.

“The reason for killing is to protect and resist!”

Qin Gang was puzzled, and Li Guanqi continued.

“Since I was in the Human Spirit Realm, I have been pushed forward by the general trend.”

“I even wondered… whether I really exist…”

Li Guanqi's lips curled up slightly as he said this.

“Fortunately, I am real.”

“So…”

“My sword is for killing, killing all those who plot against me, all things, all schemes, all chessboards!”

Although this answer was somewhat unexpected to Qin Gang, he still nodded slightly in agreement.

“This is your Dao, very good!”

Qin Gang looked at the manifestation of sword intent behind Li Guanqi, and the corner of his mouth rose slightly.

Buzz!!!!

The spiritual sword in front of him turned into thousands of light spots, and the old man was just sitting there, with mountains and rivers manifesting around him!

Sometimes mountains and flowing water, sometimes endless deserts, sometimes bamboo forests with gentle breezes, and sometimes raging rivers and waves!!

At this moment, Li Guanqi felt countless changes in sword intent like the general trend of heaven and earth.

And this sword intent was completely driven by the old man's beliefs, a complete surrender and obedience.

“My sword only obeys my heart.”

“When a thought arises, sword energy is born.”

“When a thought falls, all enemies are destroyed.”

“Profound Sword Intent, Sword Soul Awakening.”

“My sword intent is in harmony with heaven and earth.”

As he spoke, the old man raised his hand and sent out a wisp of sword energy to envelop Li Guanqi.

At this moment, Li Guanqi felt the swiftness of the wind, the gentleness of the water, the heat of the fire, and the depth of the earth…

Not only that, but also the myriad changes of each of the five elements.

Li Guanqi was greatly shocked. He had never thought that a person could break through the limitations of his own spiritual root attributes to comprehend the general trend.

Needless to say, the old man's path of the sword must have gone extremely far!

His sword intent was ever-changing.

But all of this was under the old man's control, not a redundant and scattered sword intent.

Qin Gang withdrew his sword intent and looked at Li Guanqi, saying softly.

“Profound… Profound… is very difficult…”

“For the next period of time, I will not allow you to cultivate in any realm!”

“You must suppress your cultivation realm to the ninth level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!”

“During this time… follow me to practice the Sword Dao.”

Li Guanqi bowed deeply upon hearing this, and said softly.

“I respectfully obey the Sect Master's order!”

The old man laughed loudly, and with a wave of his hand, the world turned, and the two of them actually came to the summit of the back mountain of Heavenly Sword Peak!!

Here, there was an ancient sword pavilion.

The flat summit was only a hundred zhang in size.

A nine-story sword pavilion, a separate courtyard, a large bell, and a large drum.

There was also a small bamboo forest near the sea of clouds, with a three-foot meditation platform.

Apart from that, there was nothing else here, only the towering Heavenly Sword Peak in front of them.

The old man said with a smile.

“From today onwards, morning bell and evening drum.”

“The nine floors of the Sword Pavilion contain many books and sword manuals that you can browse at will, anyway, it won’t affect your own Sword Dao.”

“I will spar with you every day to comprehend sword intent.”

Li Guanqi nodded silently. The Sect Master of a sect put aside all sect affairs to teach him.

Li Guanqi made up his mind to practice hard.

As night fell, Li Guanqi sat on the meditation platform, facing the churning sea of clouds and slowly closed his eyes.

However, this time he did not cultivate, but instead abandoned all distracting thoughts and began to comprehend the Sword Dao.

He began to sort out his Sword Dao sword techniques from beginning to end.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Guanqi was awakened by a deep and melodious bell sound.

This force was very gentle and would not make him feel uncomfortable.

The sky was just beginning to dawn, the morning sun had not yet risen, and the clouds were heavy.

Li Guanqi looked out and had a feeling of looking at the vast sea.

Looking out over the endless sea of clouds, only those towering mountain peaks revealed a mountain tip.

Just like among all living beings, only so many genius cultivators will emerge.

Li Guanqi smiled, slowly got up and stretched his body.

He turned his head and saw that Qin Gang had already changed into a well-fitting martial arts uniform, holding a dead branch in his hand and standing in place.

Qin Gang waved his hand casually, and a stream of light flew out from the courtyard.

An ordinary wooden sword that could not be more ordinary was inserted in front of him.

“From today onwards, you should put your sword aside for now.”

Li Guanqi thought for a while and nodded.

Dong!!

A black stone coffin landed on the ground.

Li Guanqi picked it up with one hand and walked to the meditation platform, placing it aside.

Unbeknownst to him, the old man not far away was staring at the stone coffin, his eyes showing a look of doubt.

Because this stone coffin… he couldn’t see through it!!

Just the faint aura emanating from the stone coffin made him secretly startled.

His brow furrowed slightly involuntarily, and he murmured to himself.

“This sword coffin… is not simple.”

After putting down the sword coffin, Li Guanqi gently patted the sword coffin.

Now the Blood Nether Sword was also placed in the sword coffin by him, using the power of the sword coffin to slowly nurture it.

Little did he know that the Blood Nether Sword was worse than a pig or a dog in the sword coffin…

Facing the powerful Red Lotus, it could only curl up in a stone crevice and shiver.

Li Guanqi raised his hand and grasped the wooden sword in his hand.

The old man walked slowly towards the Sword Pavilion and said softly.

“Let’s go, go in.”

The old man and the young man walked into the Sword Pavilion one after another.

As soon as he entered, Li Guanqi realized that he seemed to have passed through an invisible barrier.

The space rippled slightly, and Li Guanqi scanned with his divine sense and saw a huge martial arts arena in front of him!!

The dark golden martial arts arena, which was three hundred zhang in size, was circular, and the dense bookshelves around it could not be seen at a glance!

Qin Gang smiled: “The Great Xia Sword Sect has 90,000 volumes of books!”

“There are countless sword manuals, you can browse at will.”

“From today onwards, you and I will spar and practice swords from the morning bell.”

“When the evening drum sounds, you can heal your wounds or read the manuals.”

Then the old man looked at Li Guanqi with a smile, and then his aura began to constantly suppress itself and fall.

He kept suppressing his realm and stayed at around the seventh level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Li Guanqi frowned slightly. He knew that his killing power was comparable to the peak of the second level of the True Immortal Realm!

Even without using the power of the Sword Ruins, he was comparable to the perfection of the Half-Step True Immortal Realm.

The old man probably saw Li Guanqi's doubts, shook the branch in his hand and looked at Li Guanqi.

“To deal with you now, the seventh level is enough.”

Li Guanqi naturally had his own arrogance, remained silent, and went up with his sword!!
