Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

The sword spirit rose, her hair falling, and with jade fingers, she brushed a strand behind her ear.

"Well, this is just what I need."

"But I can't use this much."

With a slight flick of her finger, the pale golden essence blood of the Candle Dragon transformed into a stream, flying into the air.

The sword spirit pointed, and the essence blood began to burn fiercely.

Half a jar of essence blood finally condensed into three drops.

The sword spirit's red dress fluttered in the wind as she stepped into the air, tilting her head slightly and closing her eyes.

Her snow-white, slender neck stretched like a swan, a muscle subtly bulging.

Her red lips parted slightly, and the three drops of essence blood fell into her mouth.

She raised her sleeve to cover her face, her throat moving slightly as she swallowed the essence blood.

Li Guanqi quietly watched her, opening his mouth to talk about recent events.

But he held back.

Even if he told her, the sword spirit couldn't solve anything; it would only add to her worries.

It was better for him, Li Guanqi, to wield his sword alone and cut through this haze and mist!

Unbeknownst to him, this scene was captured by a pair of beautiful eyes behind Hongxiu.

The corners of the sword spirit's mouth turned up slightly, but her heart was also somewhat helpless.

In the Human Spirit Realm, even with people around, she could act more freely.

But now... the Immortal Realm is full of those people's clones or pawns.

If she were to act...

Li Guanqi could be said to be the enemy of the world, with no way to escape!

The sword spirit pretended not to see Li Guanqi's attempt to speak.

The power within her slowly washed over her, her face slightly flushed.

Whoosh!

The sword spirit suddenly flashed in front of Li Guanqi, their faces inches apart!

One hand embraced Li Guanqi's head, their foreheads touching.

But Li Guanqi still couldn't feel her temperature or substance.

A pair of beautiful eyes looked at Li Guanqi, and her red lips parted slightly as she whispered.

"This path... you must walk it yourself."

After speaking, the sword spirit's figure slowly disappeared; after absorbing the power of the Candle Dragon's essence blood, she needed to continue her slumber.

Li Guanqi stood there愣愣, raising his hand to touch his forehead.

Nothing, not even a trace of warmth.

After a long while, Li Guanqi smiled wryly and shook his head, sighing before turning around.

Under the surge of power bestowed by the sword spirit, Li Guanqi knew he had reached a point where he could absorb these powers.

The sword spirit's power now had only one-third remaining, but the power his grandfather left him was still abundant.

With his current strength, absorbing it wouldn't be a problem.

But he also had some concerns...

The cultivation realms of him and his brothers were already quite different.

If he continued to absorb the power within him, the gap would only widen!!

After a long silence, Li Guanqi shook his head, realizing it was too early to consider these things.

True Immortals... weren't difficult for any of Ye Feng and the others.

It was only a matter of time.

Li Guanqi let Pengluo, Pi Ritian, and Xiaogutou handle the Candle Dragon's corpse as they pleased.

But in the end, he kept half of the corpse, along with the Candle Dragon's scales, dragon horns, and dragon tendons.

He also kept half of the remaining Candle Dragon marrow.

Pengluo and Pi Ritian were so full they were about to burst.

Jiuxiao woke up smelling the meat and started fighting for food, wagging its dragon tail.

He flashed into the room, carrying the sword coffin on his back, and entered a state of cultivation.

The fourth-stage cultivation technique was extremely fast; now, with the technique's blessing, it amplified Li Guanqi by nearly 80%!

Keep in mind this was the Immortal Realm, and Li Guanqi was already at the fourth level of the True Immortal Realm.

The silent one cultivated madly, and in the blink of an eye, several more days passed.

North Ji Province, Great Xia Sword Sect.

The courtyard of Sky Thunder Peak was bustling with activity.

Xiang Huaizhi, Zhou Shiyu, and others were drinking wine, sitting around a large table in the courtyard with a crowd of people.

Li Nanting was busy running around, his face beaming with smiles that never faded.

Although everyone had tried to dissuade him many times, Li Nanting himself was enjoying it.

Seeing these people able to gather together again and drink wine made him, as an elder, extremely happy.

Xiang Huaizhi stood up and called out, "Old Man Li, don't bother yourself anymore; there's enough to eat and drink. Sit down and have a drink."

Li Nanting laughed heartily, "You drink, don't mind me."

At the entrance of the living room, a young man in black robes with a stern, unsmiling face leaned against the doorframe, drinking from a pot of wine by himself.

Li Nanting stepped aside, looked at the young man, and smiled.

"What's wrong? Not familiar with them? Not even going to drink?"

Ye Mohan smiled awkwardly and bowed to the busy elder.

"Old Man, I... don't like crowds. It's fine standing here."

Li Nanting smiled with his hands behind his back, brought over a chair, and smiled.

"Then sit here. My disciple will be back later; he's already on his way."

A glint flashed in Ye Mohan's eyes; he also wanted to see how far Li Guanqi had come!

As for some secret matters, Ye Feng and the others had already explained them.

They claimed to be from Guangxing Realm, not Youhuang Realm!

Ye Mohan drank his wine; he also had some feelings about this matter.

After ascending, many people had intentionally or unintentionally inquired about where he came from; he had never said, only giving a vague answer.

Fifth level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm; this was the limit of his efforts.

Zhou Shiyu was extremely excited to see a group of familiar people.

Zhou Shiyu was now at the fourth level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, one level lower than Ye Mohan.

On the other hand, Xiang Huaizhi...

That Xiang Huaizhi, wearing a white robe, with a smiling face and an unrestrained demeanor.

Half-step True Immortal!!

No one knew how this balanced and powerful member of the Eight Generals had done it.

However, according to the people of the branch sect, Xiang Huaizhi had hardly stayed in the sect for too long since joining.

He was almost always on the road, either carrying out missions or training on his own.

As for the matter of Chankongzi, no one dared to tell Xiang Huaizhi.

Chankongzi and Xiang Huaizhi had a good relationship; if Xiang Huaizhi knew...

Everyone toasted and drank, and suddenly Ye Mohan, who was sitting on the chair, stood up abruptly and looked towards the clouds!

Above the cloud boat, a figure in white robes spread thunder wings on his back, flapping them and flying towards Sky Thunder Peak.

"Hahahaha, brothers!! I'm back!!"

As the voice fell, Jiuxiao couldn't help but rush out as well.

Roar!!!!

Thunder scattered, and a huge dragon with a body length of nearly two hundred zhang suddenly appeared under Li Guanqi's feet.

The dragon's body was as long as a high mountain, its figure twisting, covering the sky and the sun!!

The dragon's roar resounded through the clouds, and waves of dragon might filled the void.

Li Guanqi flew towards Sky Thunder Peak, stepping on the giant dragon.

Many disciples and elders in the Great Xia Sword Sect looked up at the sky.

"That's... a true dragon??"

"Wow!!! What a big thunder dragon!!"

"My god, so big! So majestic!!"

"Junior Brother Li is... so handsome!"

Riding the dragon into the sky, Li Guanqi laughed heartily as he flew towards Sky Thunder Peak.

He saw Xiang Huaizhi, Zhou Shiyu, and Ye Mohan from hundreds of zhang away!

Raising his hand and waving his arm, he was extremely excited.
