Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Gu Yong's eyes gradually calmed down as he looked down at the shattered remains of his Tianji Pavilion, which he had painstakingly built over thousands of years.

"Do you know how long my Tianji Pavilion has been established...?"

Li Guanzhi didn't speak, not caring about this, but rather wondering what Gu Yong meant by saying this at this time.

The old man raised his head to look at the sky, and with a wave of his hand, the vast power of space teleported all the members of the Tianji Pavilion away.

The once bustling Tianji Pavilion became somewhat deserted, with only the two of them remaining, separated by ten zhang.

"Three thousand seven hundred and ninety-eight years."

The old man seemed to have anticipated his own ending, so he spoke calmly to himself.

"For over three thousand seven hundred years, because I established the Tianji Pavilion, I know many secrets of this world."

Speaking of this, Gu Yong slowly raised his head, his turbid eyes looking at Li Guanzhi as he spoke in a low voice.

"Do you know how many years it has been since anyone from the entire Spirit Realm ascended?"

Li Guanzhi frowned, not knowing what he meant by saying this.

The old man lowered his head and murmured softly, "Ten thousand years."

After a slight pause, the old man suddenly raised his head to look at Li Guanzhi, his voice filled with an anger that ordinary people could not understand.

"A full ten thousand years!!!"

"Do you know why?"

Li Guanzhi didn't speak, but he vaguely had some speculation in his heart.

"Because of your grandfather, Su Xuan."

"Hahahaha, one person, blocking the path between the Human Spirit Realm and the Immortal Realm, ten thousand years without immortals!!!"

"Ten thousand years!! The Human Spirit Realm, where people could originally ascend at the Great Vehicle Realm, has forcibly added the Tribulation Transcendence Realm and the Ascension Realm."

"Even after reaching these two realms, they still cannot ascend to the Immortal Realm!!"

"Why!!!"

The old man glared at Li Guanzhi, angrily saying, "I know my current body very well. If I don't ascend to the Immortal Realm... I'm just waiting to die!!!"

"Can you understand the feeling of watching life pass by but being powerless to do anything...?"

Li Guanzhi's eyes became somewhat disappointed as he softly said, "Why do you pursue immortality so much?"

Gu Yong suddenly seemed to have been touched on a sore spot, his voice filled with questioning and incomprehension as he angrily said.

"Who among cultivators doesn't want to be immortal?"

"This old man has cultivated all his life for the sake of longevity! For the sake of living as long as heaven and earth!!"

"With the path to ascension cut off, of course I have to find other paths to take!"

"A man who doesn't act for himself will be condemned by heaven and earth..."

Li Guanzhi shook his head, he knew... the old man before him had already 'become demonized'.

With the deadline of his lifespan hanging over his head, he only wanted to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

Since his grandfather didn't allow people to ascend, it would inevitably lead to resistance.

Obviously, this trend of resistance was intensifying, and many people could no longer suppress the reason in their hearts.

Once someone from the Immortal Realm extended an olive branch, they would do everything to fight for it.

After all...

No one in the Human Spirit Realm could contend against his grandfather.

As for the person behind Gu Yong, he didn't know what kind of status the other party had in the Immortal Realm.

But it seemed that the other party's identity and status were not as high as those behind Cang Lu.

Li Guanzhi sighed, raised his head to look at the old man, and slowly raised the thunder sword in his hand.

"Give me the Tianji Diagram, abandon your cultivation and live the rest of your life in peace, and I won't kill you."

Gu Yong suddenly burst into unrestrained and arrogant laughter!

"Hahahahaha!!!"

"The Tianji Pavilion has collapsed and no longer exists, yet you still have the audacity to say such a thing?"

Looking at the old man with his silver hair fluttering in the wind, Li Guanzhi also felt a sense of inexplicable pressure.

After all, the other party was a genuine Great Vehicle Realm cultivator, and it would be very difficult for him to kill the other party.

Gu Yong's eyes flickered, and after closing his eyes to sense, he found that there were no signs of any strong aura around the domain.

He stared at Li Guanzhi and said coldly, "You didn't call for help?"

Li Guanzhi shook his head, looked at the old man, and said softly, "Because I don't want to put you to death."

"You have helped me many times in the past, and I remember this kindness in my heart."

Gu Yong's eyes flickered, and although he felt something in his heart, he also knew that he had no way to retreat.

If he could capture Li Guanzhi today, he would definitely be able to force Su Xuan to open the passage to ascend to the Immortal Realm!!

Buzz!!!

Waves of terrifying spatial power spread out, and the entire domain was completely sealed off and disappeared into the void.

The people who were already prepared suddenly found that they had lost contact with Li Guanzhi.

Qin Xiao frowned and transmitted his voice, "Old Meng, what's going on?"

Ye Xuan also said in a deep voice, "Something's not right, Guanzhi himself didn't transmit the spatial coordinates and location to us!"

In the dark void, Meng Jiangchu's face became somewhat gloomy.

He cursed in a low voice, "What is this brat messing around with again!!"

The moment Gu Yong completely sealed off the domain space, a look of determination flashed in Li Guanzhi's eyes.

"You... ultimately made this choice."

Gu Yong's body stiffened upon hearing this, and he said in a slightly trembling voice, "I have no choice."

"Don't blame me."

Li Guanzhi, who was lowering his head, turned to look at Song Yunshu beside him and said with complicated emotions.

"Even if Song Yunshu's life is in my hands?"

The energy surging around Gu Yong paused slightly, but he still didn't speak, only the pressure around him intensified a bit.

Suddenly!

The power surging around Gu Yong seemed to have stagnated.

Tears streamed down from the corners of Song Yunshu's eyes in the sealed formation...

It turned out... she could hear everything all along.

Li Guanzhi sighed, it seemed that there was no room for maneuver between him and Gu Yong now.

He put Song Yunshu into the domain space with a backhand, Gu Yong's eyes flickered and he gritted his teeth.

Thump!!

Space collapsed, and the old man's figure turned into a streak of afterimage and burst out instantly.

The vast power instantly pressed towards Li Guanzhi!!

Li Guanzhi's chest rose and fell slightly, his eyes firm.

Boom!!!!

The space beside him shattered, and with a wave of his hand, the thunder of heaven and earth turned into a sharp and ferocious armor worn on his body, the purple cloak fluttering in the wind.

The thunder sword built with Yuan energy in his hand burst out with a loud sword cry, and Li Guanzhi instantly crushed two pills in his mouth!!

One was a Spirit Burst Pill with extremely low side effects, and the other was a perfect grade Enlightenment Pill.

The moment he swallowed the pills, Li Guanzhi's eyes were instantly covered with bloodshot, and terrifying power roared in his meridians!

Under the surge of Qi and blood, Li Guanzhi's physical strength climbed to the level of a pure martial artist comparable to a half-step Great Vehicle Realm.

As the Qi and blood surged, they traveled throughout his body according to a mysterious route, and purple dragon scales slowly emerged on his arms.

The terrifying power shattered the surrounding space just by waving his arms.

Dozens of various seal characters were pasted on his chest and back, and as the spiritual light flickered, Li Guanzhi's thoughts were clear and unprecedentedly calm.

Under the effect of the Enlightenment Pill, the color of the thunder power emanating from Li Guanzhi gradually turned dark purple.

The power of destruction in the thunder was even more powerful!!

The old man's pupils shrank as he sensed Li Guanzhi's change, and he faced Li Guanzhi with a solemn expression, putting up twelve points of spirit.

Thump!!!

Boom!!
