Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

The old man chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "Heh, I was just talking nonsense."

"Since I can't go up anyway, can't I just complain a little?"

Li Guanqi's mind was shaken!!

This was the first time he had seen the Sword Spirit talking to a stranger, and this person wasn't even his grandfather!!

The Sword Spirit's aura disappeared again without a trace. Li Guanqi felt a little helpless. He didn't know how much Jiu Xiao and Peng Luo were being tortured…

Li Guanqi looked up at the old man. Who exactly was he!!!

Tribulation Transcendence… he was probably underestimating him… Could he be… a legendary Ascendant Realm cultivator who could have ascended to the Immortal Realm long ago?

Hiss…

Li Guanqi couldn't help but gasp inwardly.

The old man then smiled and asked, "What is your ideal?"

"To become stronger? To achieve immortality? To become an immortal?"

Li Guanqi was rendered speechless by the old man's questions.

Had he been preparing to become an immortal from the very beginning of his cultivation?

It didn't seem like it…

Had he been preparing to become stronger from the very beginning of his cultivation?

He didn't seem to care about immortality at all, nor did he ever feel anything about the passage of time or the dimming of vitality.

This seclusion of more than two years gave him a very different feeling. After waking up and learning that many things had happened in these two years, he was also very emotional.

But with the old people still around, his feelings weren't that deep.

When he thought of many strong people secluding themselves for thousands of years, only to wake up and find that the old people beside them had turned to bones, he felt extremely desolate.

Li Guanqi extended his defenses and thought about many things. Suddenly, two words popped into his mind!!

"Destiny!"

The old man seemed to know many things, nodding with a smile, "You've noticed it?"

Li Guanqi didn't speak, recalling his life, it seemed to have all started after he met the Sword Spirit.

His life was being forced forward, and many things happened and he met many people along the way.

But he didn't feel that all of this was being controlled by someone, it was more like the appearance of the Sword Coffin was just a trigger.

Pushing him to move forward.

Because he obtained the Sword Coffin and had the help of the Sword Spirit, his strength improved rapidly.

At the same time, he also had to face the coveting of the Sword Spirit by someone in the Immortal Realm. He only regarded these…

As something he had to bear for obtaining the Sword Coffin.

Li Guanqi said softly, "This is my own choice."

"Do you regret it?"

"I don't regret it."

"Why?"

"There is no why."

"Then have you thought about what you want?"

Li Guanqi thought for a moment, looked at the old man and said softly, "Like you, freedom."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Li Guanqi shook his head with a wry smile and murmured to himself.

"But… as long as people are alive, they will never be free."

The old man seemed to be very touched, and said softly, "Everyone is doing their best to weave the wings of freedom, but their words are full of shackles."

Li Guanqi asked again, "Then are you free?"

The old man pondered for a long time, "Halfway."

"Why?"

"The seven emotions and six desires of the world are ultimately difficult to give up. I am just following my heart and coming out to see."

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Li Guanqi with a smile and asked the last question.

"Do you believe in fate? Do you want me to read your palm?"

Li Guanqi smiled, his hands remained on his knees.

He looked directly into the old man's eyes and said softly, "I never believe that a few lines on the palm can represent my 'fate'."

The old man looked at Li Guanqi with interest, his eyes bright as he spoke.

"Why?"

Li Guanqi pointed to his eyes and said calmly.

"Before I was eight years old, I deeply believed in fate."

"I prayed every day, with sincerity every day."

"But… it seems that no one can respond to me."

"Until after I started cultivating, when I held a sword and killed someone, I knew."

"My fate is not in the lines of my palm, but in the power to wield the sword!"

The old man laughed, his laughter hearty and cheerful.

"Hahahaha! Good!!"

"What a 'My fate is up to me, not the heavens!'!!"

"Your great freedom is in your sword!"

Li Guanqi slowly stood up, preparing to bid farewell to the old man, bowing and clasping his fists in the manner of a junior, he chuckled.

"This junior had a very pleasant conversation with senior today, thank you for your guidance."

The old man waved his hand and said softly, "I didn't guide you. Rather than saying that, it's better to say that you are enlightening yourself."

Li Guanqi smiled and asked a question.

"Then what should I do now?"

The old man's voice was peaceful and soft.

"Give time time, let the past pass, let the beginning begin."

Li Guanqi repeated these words in a low voice, then clasped his fists and left.

The old man looked at Li Guanqi's departing figure, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He slowly lay on the ground, looking at the wine gourd in his hand and smiled, "Envy the young man who is on the right path, like the rising sun of Fusang!!"

With a wave of his hand, the wine gourd hung on Li Guanqi's waist, and a line of small characters was engraved on the side of the wine gourd.

Li Guanqi picked up the wine gourd, looked at the line of small characters and fell into contemplation.

He softly repeated the words, "The cicada lives for eight days, born towards death!"

The old man was telling him that a person's life is ultimately short, and he should live for what he wants in his heart!

Knowing that he will die someday in the future, then live more passionately!!

Li Guanqi stepped out of the city and laughed loudly at the sky.

He uncorked the bottle and drank the strong wine, the wine overflowing from the corners of his mouth, and wiped away the wine with his sleeve.

Li Guanqi's whole temperament had a bit more unrestrained meaning.

Li Guanqi didn't deliberately disperse the smell of alcohol, letting himself be drunk and hazy-eyed, wielding a dead branch and unleashing chaotic sword strikes at the sky!!

And from this day on, there was a legend of a Drunken Sword Immortal dancing with a sword in a drunken state in the Eastern Region of the Xuanmen.

It is said that many people were enlightened to exquisite swordsmanship during this drunken sword dance, becoming famous in later generations.

And Li Guanqi, who left, although he didn't talk about any cultivation experience with the old man, suddenly felt that he could live more open-mindedly and freely after seeing the old man.

After Li Guanqi left, the old man didn't leave either, still drunk and sleeping soundly on the side of the street as usual.

As if Li Guanqi's appearance was just an accident, as for whether it was an accident or not, no one knows.

Who the old man is, seems not so important in this encounter.

In a certain super clan in the Misty Immortal Realm.

As usual, there was nothing unusual, but in a certain mysterious secret room, there were two people sitting opposite each other.

"What are you doing here?"

The man's eyes were extremely sharp.

But Zhang Qixuan was not afraid at all.

"Hehe, let's talk about a big deal."

The man sneered.

"Say what you have to say, I'm not in the mood to play riddles with you."

Zhang Qixuan smiled, turning the teacup in front of him and said softly, "I'm here to cooperate with the Yu family to find a way to go up!"

The man sitting opposite him suddenly jumped up, grabbing Zhang Qixuan's neck and lifting him into the air, his eyes narrowed and he said coldly.

"Zhang Qixuan, do you think that our Yu family is declining because our Yu family's ancestor died?"

"Are you here to humiliate me?"

Zhang Qixuan felt like he was suffocating, the man in front of him wearing gorgeous clothes was surging with terrifying thunder power, his hair and beard were all stretched out!!

The whole person was like an angry lion, Zhang Qixuan was not afraid at all, and sneered.

"Yu Changbo, don't tell me you don't want to go up!"

"Now I've pointed out the way for you, do you dare to follow me!"

"I will also participate in it, there will definitely be risks, but if it succeeds… the benefits will definitely exceed your imagination!"
