Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

However, the Sword Spirit didn't explain anything to him, only saying one sentence.

"Whether the Spirit Void has a weapon spirit or not is determined by fate."

"You should break through the thirteenth level first."

Li Guanqi shrugged his shoulders, not asking any further, and activated the Spirit Ascension Platform.

As the formation under his feet hummed, a thin mist quickly appeared in the secret chamber.

"This Mysterious-grade Spirit Ascension Platform is indeed extraordinary; the spiritual energy is already showing a tendency to condense into mist."

In the following period, Li Guanqi turned a deaf ear to everything outside, devoting almost all of his energy to cultivation.

Seven days later.

Li Guanqi's expression was extremely calm, but the dantian within his body was surging like a stormy sea.

Dense spiritual energy filled his entire dantian qi sea, as the internal cultivation method rapidly circulated.

A sudden explosion erupted in Li Guanqi's spiritual platform!!

Boom!!

The expanding spiritual energy frantically expanded!

Li Guanqi's dantian instantly swelled, becoming twice as large as before!

Such a qi sea is at least three or four times larger than that of a Heavenly Spiritual Root disciple.

The majestic dantian qi sea contained spiritual energy that was incredibly dense.

A mysterious aura of the Great Dao was about to surge into Li Guanqi's body.

Li Guanqi could feel the purity of that power; the Sword Spirit's voice echoed in his mind.

"Absorb!! Absorb as much as you can!!"

Li Guanqi didn't dare to be negligent; as the cultivation method circulated, that mysterious energy transformed into streams of white gas and was absorbed into his body.

Soon, the entire Great Xia Sword Sect noticed some anomalies.

Above the Spirit Ascension Platform of Sky Pillar Peak, a seven-colored iridescent aura lingered, and below was Li Guanqi's closed-door cultivation chamber.

"Hic~ I... I really can't absorb anymore!!"

The Sword Spirit, while absorbing the Great Dao's gift from Li Guanqi's body, urged Li Guanqi to continue.

Thus, Li Guanqi absorbed while being absorbed.

That iridescent aura lasted for a full incense stick's time before slowly dissipating.

Li Guanqi, on the other hand, lay on the ground with a round belly, weakly saying, "I can't move anymore, I'm stuffed to death..."

"You... you do it yourself..."

Although there was nothing wrong with these words, the Sword Spirit's face turned slightly red.

It turned around and burrowed into the sword box, beginning to absorb the Great Dao energy within Li Guanqi's body.

This thing that resembled spiritual energy was extremely mysterious; it couldn't directly increase Li Guanqi's total spiritual energy.

However, it could help Li Guanqi stabilize his realm; in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Li Guanqi had completely stabilized his thirteenth level of Qi Training realm.

At this moment, he felt that his punch weighed more than two thousand catties.

This kind of power was enough to crush most Foundation Establishment cultivators.

After a moment, his round belly quickly disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Tsk, you absorb quickly."

However, this time the Sword Spirit didn't respond to him, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.

After stretching his muscles, he realized that his body was covered in a layer of mud, emitting a fishy and foul smell.

Li Guanqi quickly pushed open the door of the quiet room.

"Uh..."

As soon as he stepped out, Li Guanqi discovered that more than a dozen sect elders were standing outside the door.

"Sect Master... what are you all doing..."

Lu Kangnian reached out and probed his body, his eyes suddenly widening!

His face was filled with disbelief as he exclaimed, "This... this... you!! You haven't established your foundation yet??"

Li Guanqi scratched his head and said, "Reporting to the Sect Master, I indeed haven't established my foundation yet."

Lu Kangnian took a few deep breaths, completely shocked by Li Guanqi's massive qi sea.

"Good lad, is this the dantian qi sea of a Saint-grade spiritual root?"

"In all my years of cultivation, I've never seen such a large qi sea!"

Lan He curled her lips and said, "Sect Master, aren't you exaggerating a bit?"

"How big can the qi sea of a Qi Training tenth-level disciple be?"

Li Guanqi didn't want to be studied by them here, so he said, "Senior Elders, can you let me go back and take a bath? I'm almost a smelly fish in a pickle jar."

Lan He smiled slightly upon hearing this, and with a wave of her hand, a gentle, water-like blue elemental force enveloped him.

In an instant, the filth on his body was completely removed, and Li Guanqi cupped his hands and smiled, "Thank you, Elder Lan."

Li Nanting was no longer surprised by what happened to him.

As for why Li Guanqi was able to attract the Heavenly Dao's gift at the tenth level of Qi Training, everyone tacitly didn't ask too much.

Only Lu Kangnian said with a solemn expression before leaving, "It won't be long before the genius disciples from the other peaks will also break through to the Foundation Establishment realm one after another."

"At that time, Li Nanting will lead the team to the Spirit Opening Ground. How much you can fight for this year depends on you disciples."

Afterward, everyone dispersed, and Li Nanting patted his shoulder with a smile, saying, "Well done, you actually attracted the Heavenly Dao's gift."

After speaking, the old man followed Lu Kangnian away.

Li Guanqi was also happy to have some free time, so he simply went straight to the Sword Tower.

The powerful strength of the thirteenth level of Qi Training not only expanded his dantian qi sea but also greatly expanded his spiritual platform and sea of consciousness.

The abundant divine sense allowed him to easily cover a radius of fifty zhang.

After arriving at the Sword Tower, he directly stepped onto the sixth floor.

Without using his divine sense, Li Guanqi flipped his wrist and slashed out six swords as swift as the wind!

Soon, a loud chime rang from the ancient bell above the Sword Tower!

Dong!!

The disciples of all the peaks all looked up in the direction of Sky Pillar Peak, and many people said in a deep voice, "Someone has passed the twelfth level of the Sword Tower!"

"Could it be that a senior brother has broken through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and is going to challenge the Sword Tower?"

"Let's go over and take a look."

More and more people gathered around the Sword Tower of Sky Pillar Peak.

However, at this time, Li Guanqi was panting like a cow, and the twelve dark black puppets beside him had all fallen down.

Li Guanqi looked up at the stairs above, took a deep breath, and slowly stood up!

The next floor was a Foundation Establishment puppet, and he wanted to try how many floors he could climb with his current strength.

Da da!

Thirteenth floor of the Sword Tower.

The brightly lit inner pavilion was a hundred zhang in size, and on the wide martial arts stage, there was only a bright silver puppet sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Li Guanqi stood with his sword drawn, took a deep breath, and slowly stepped onto the martial arts stage.

Boom!!

An invisible pressure instantly erupted!

Complex and intricate spirit patterns gradually emerged on the puppet's body.

Whoosh whoosh!

The puppet drew a long sword from its waist and stood five zhang away from Li Guanqi.

The old man guarding the Sword Pavilion, seeing more and more disciples gathering around the Sword Tower, simply waved his hand and projected the situation on the thirteenth floor.

Dong!

In an instant, everyone saw the bluestone slabs under Li Guanqi and the puppet suddenly explode, and two figures quickly collided!

The sword light crisscrossed, and the sound of metal clashing constantly echoed on the stage.

The two figures constantly changed their positions, Li Guanqi's sword was swift and powerful, and he could even steadily suppress the puppet in terms of strength!

Soon, Li Guanqi found an opportunity, his figure suddenly darted forward, and the sword in his hand shook slightly, inserting it into the silver-armored puppet's throat!

Clang clang!

The silver armor slowly sheathed its sword and stood still, then sat back on the ground.

Sword Tower thirteenth floor, broken!

Then came the fourteenth floor! Fifteenth floor!

In the end, Li Guanqi stopped at the fifteenth floor of the Sword Tower, and in the process of fighting, he also learned many of the puppet's strengths.

His control over his own power has also reached a new level, and he has also comprehended the Qinglian Heavenly Astral Sword's swordplay to the Great Perfection stage.

However, at this time, the swordplay had been modified a lot by the Sword Spirit.

Li Guanqi, who was covered in injuries, slowly walked out of the Sword Tower.

As soon as he came out, he found that the outside of Sky Pillar Peak was full of sect disciples.

Finally, a senior brother in the sect swallowed hard and said, "He... he hasn't established his foundation yet!!!"
