Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Pfft!

The spiritually-voided long sword was plunged into the mountain range formed by spiritual light.

The observing cultivators had long since awakened from their cultivation; the risen crowd looked at the scene before them, speechless for a long time.

Everyone's mood became incredibly heavy.

Especially Li Guanqi.

At this moment, his heart was extremely complicated...

Chen Xianzhi's death was not just a simple failure to break through.

He... originally could have had more time to prepare...

But facing the reincarnation tribulation of the rules of time, he, as a cultivator, chose to defy the heavens and break through to transcend the tribulation!!

And because of the righteousness of the world, he chose to break through and transcend the tribulation in the Immortal Spirit Realm.

In this way, when he broke through and transcended the tribulation, he could allow more cultivators stuck at the peak of the Mahayana stage to sense the existence of the law barrier.

It was also because of his previous actions that he had to divide his attention to fight against the heavenly tribulation and comprehend the laws.

Although Gu Li's three篆符 (zhuan fu, seal scripts) bought him some time...

Chen Xianzhi ultimately failed to grasp that glimmer of hope!!

But no matter what, this old man deserves everyone's respect!

The old man's actions can be described as righteousness.

Li Guanqi's eyes were slightly red, and he loudly proclaimed.

“Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things as straw dogs.”

“Senior Chen Xianzhi entered the tribulation and scattered his Dao for the sake of righteousness, such righteousness is admirable!”

“Respectfully sending off... Senior Chen Xianzhi!”

He clasped his hands, his back straight, and slowly bent down and bowed his head.

As his voice fell, everyone's expression turned solemn, and they shouted loudly!

“Respectfully sending off, Senior Chen Xianzhi!!”

After a long while, Li Guanqi glanced at the sky and whispered softly.

“When I enter the tribulation transcendence, I will still be here!”

He believed that he was not the only one with this idea; many people's eyes flickered with different thoughts.

No one touched the dilapidated long sword standing on the mountain range.

That was proof that Chen Xianzhi had existed; even after tens of millions of years, no one would touch it.

Li Guanqi turned to look at the people beside him and said in a deep voice.

“Change into black robes, go to the Sword Monument.”

Everyone was silent; the scenes from before had a significant impact on their hearts, not just Li Guanqi's.

From the old man's actions and words, they felt a strong sense of unwillingness.

Similarly, they also felt a cultivator's unprecedentedly strong will to defy the Great Dao!!

Even Meng Wanshu was like this, her eyes lowered, looking preoccupied.

Ye Feng and the others were even more lost in thought, with thoughtful expressions on their faces.

Each of them could be regarded as a proud son of heaven, and with Li Guanqi, their big brother, paving the way for them.

Their cultivation path can be said to be smooth sailing, and even the reincarnation tribulation that occurs every few hundred years is very far away from them.

No one has experienced the reincarnation tribulation, so naturally, they don't know the despair of each reincarnation tribulation being more powerful than the previous one.

Even if they knew that the reincarnation tribulation was terrible, they couldn't feel it.

Cultivation for them is only limited by resources.

With Li Guanqi's existence, whether it's resources or talent, they have the best.

Chen Xianzhi's death brought them a lot of thinking.

Ye Feng and the others are not fools; on the contrary, they are very smart, and even think further ahead.

Ye Feng even thought about whether he would face such choices after ascending to the Immortal Realm in the future.

Being forced to choose one of two ways to die.

Carrying such complex emotions, the crowd slowly came to the Sword Monument in the Second Domain.

The dim sky, the ruins and debris everywhere, and the dark mud.

Everything seemed so depressing.

The quiet crowd numbered more than two hundred people, all dressed in black robes, with solemn expressions.

Flowers piled up in front of the Sword Monument.

Until death...

Chen Xianzhi didn't leave anything in the world.

It was his old friend who found a cyan wine gourd and a piece of torn linen clothing from his small, cramped陋室 (lou shi, humble room).

Everyone bowed deeply to the wine gourd and the piece of torn linen clothing on the stone platform without saying a word.

The leading Long Hou looked stern, his eyes also slightly red, and he shouted loudly.

“Respectfully sending off, Fellow Daoist Chen Xianzhi!”

No one wrote about his life's experiences; only Long Hou waved his hand and wrote four large characters.

“The Gentleman's Righteousness!”

The Sword Monument was filled with sandalwood incense, and the green smoke was curling up, burning extremely vigorously.

Li Guanqi also led the crowd to the Sword Monument, bowed and inserted sandalwood incense.

All of them could be regarded as having received the old man's grace; this favor... they couldn't even repay it...

After getting up, Long Hou actually came to Li Guanqi's side.

He had naturally heard many things from Hong Zhi, and he was quite emotional when he saw Li Guanqi again.

He was amazed at Li Guanqi's speed of progress being so terrifying.

Now, even he couldn't see through Li Guanqi, and could only vaguely sense some things.

Long Hou said softly: “Let's postpone the time, and go back to retreat and cultivate well recently.”

Li Guanqi nodded, not only Ye Feng and the others had some insights.

Even Xiang Huaizhi and Nangong Xuandu and others in the Seven Generals had some insights.

Li Guanqi cupped his hands and saluted the others, without being arrogant or proud because he had defeated them.

These people were all his seniors, seniors who had helped him several times.

Ye Feng and the others also needed to retreat, so Li Guanqi didn't refuse.

His battle with Long Hou was more because of his own obsession.

After the crowd separated, Li Guanqi took the crowd back to the White Jade Building.

“Big brother, we are going to retreat.”

As the voice fell, Ye Feng and the others all left.

Meng Wanshu was not in a hurry to retreat.

She also gained some insights through the previous observation of the tribulation transcendence realm heavenly tribulation.

But she keenly noticed that Li Guanqi's heart was a little uneasy.

So she took Li Guanqi away from the White Jade Building.

The two walked among the mountains and forests shimmering with spiritual light.

The woman's gentle voice slowly sounded.

“Feeling a lot of emotions?”

Li Guanqi nodded, lowered his head and muttered.

“There are many things I can't understand.”

“But as time goes by, I can gradually empathize with the words of many seniors in the cultivation world.”

Li Guanqi's voice paused slightly, then he sighed and said.

“In the past, I felt amazed and unbelievable that many cultivators would retreat for decades or hundreds of years.”

“Now... an epiphany of my own lasts for a year, or even several years.”

“This passage of time makes me feel uneasy.”

What Li Guanqi said was what he felt after retreating for three years.

In just three years, many things outside had become unrecognizable.

This feeling of being detached from the world, but with the passage of time still flowing, made him feel uneasy.

Now, he had even witnessed an extremely powerful cultivator die under the heavenly tribulation.

Unable to resist, his body died and his Dao disappeared.

In the end, he didn't even have a body left after his death, and could only erect a cenotaph.

Fortunately, the Seventh Domain can still leave a name after death.

If no one helped him record these things, wouldn't this person not even have a name left?
