Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

The sword spirit's lips curled into a slight smile, his eyes filled with serenity.

His voice, tinged with a hint of emotion, began to speak.

“I told you long ago that you might face many powerful enemies in the future.”

“Perhaps immortals from the lower realms, or perhaps your original foes.”

“Do you know why?”

Li Guanqi was actually quite puzzled by this.

The sword spirit turned, his gaze fixed intently on Li Guanqi.

“Because from the moment you ascend, the baptism of heaven and earth is akin to a complete transformation.”

“Your aura will undergo earth-shattering changes.”

“At that time, finding you in the vast immortal realm will be like searching for a needle in a haystack.”

Hearing this, Li Guanqi suddenly understood why they had been searching so frantically in the Human Spirit Realm.

No matter how large the Human Spirit Realm was, it was ultimately just a lower spirit realm.

If they really couldn't find him, and yet felt threatened, they could simply obliterate the realm like they did with the Ice Peak Realm.

The sword spirit continued, “That's why they are so eager to stop you.”

“With your grandfather guarding the Human and Immortal Realms, those above cannot obtain more information.”

“But they have definitely become suspicious of this spirit realm, otherwise they wouldn't have paid such a high price to try and conquer it before.”

“They even brought in a powerhouse capable of harming your grandfather.”

Li Guanqi nodded silently.

His eyes wandered, as if lost in thought.

But he quickly adjusted his mindset, took a deep breath, and regained his confident demeanor.

“Let’s prepare this time and see if we can obliterate them…”

In the days that followed, the entire Seventh Domain entered a vibrant and flourishing phase.

More and more unfamiliar cultivators joined, and more and more cultivators gained insights and breakthroughs.

Among the Eight Generals, Hong Zhi, Yu Shan, and Xiang Huai were the first to break through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

Chan Kongzi and Nangong Xuandu were not far behind, and were also preparing to break through their realms recently.

Everyone's gratitude towards Li Guanqi was beyond words.

Gu Li spent almost all of his time in the Nirvana Tower, delving into something with focused dedication.

Li Guanqi also began to cultivate quietly, engaging in frantic battles in the Nirvana Tower time and time again, his strength rapidly increasing.

The Spirit Devouring Dao Body had now almost completely fused with the Demon King Body, no longer revealing any demonic energy.

Only the domineering power of thunder remained.

As time passed, everything seemed to be as usual.

But Li Guanqi knew that this was the calm before the storm.

A wave of spatial fluctuation arose, and a talisman appeared in Li Guanqi's hand!

The characters on the talisman were somewhat peculiar, and although the talisman was only the size of a palm, it contained an indescribable mysterious power.

Half of the talisman was red, and half was black.

Li Guanqi's lips curled into a slight smile, and after putting away the talisman, he quietly left the Nirvana Tower.

The spatial fluctuations in the Seventh Domain did not attract anyone's attention.

And a special identity jade slip appeared out of thin air in Li Guanqi's storage ring.

After Li Guanqi returned to the White Jade Building, he went straight to the Nirvana Tower.

After explaining some things to Gu Li, he turned and left again.

Li Guanqi went straight to the top floor of the Seventh Domain.

“Grandpa, I’m ready on my end.”

Su Xuan looked somewhat tired for some reason, but he still managed to squeeze out a smile when he saw Li Guanqi.

“Okay, I’ll take you to the Third Domain now?”

Li Guanqi frowned slightly, came to the old man with a worried expression, and said in a deep voice.

“Grandpa, are you okay?”

“Could it be that the hidden injury from the last battle with someone hasn’t healed yet?”

After saying that, Li Guanqi placed his palm on the old man's wrist, and a surge of pure and powerful Yuan Power poured into the old man's body.

But Li Guanqi's massive Yuan Power was like a clay ox entering the sea in the old man's body, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

It was as if it had never appeared, and the old man's dantian, as deep as the vast ocean, was simply beyond Li Guanqi's current comprehension…

But he clearly felt that the injuries in the old man's body were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.

Li Guanqi frowned, and asked the sword spirit in his mind.

The sword spirit's voice rang in his ears, sounding somewhat solemn.

“Your grandfather's injury this time… I’m afraid it will be difficult to recover in the Human Spirit Realm.”

Hearing this, Li Guanqi's heart suddenly sank!

Su Xuan stretched out a warm palm, stroking his hair, and smiled.

“It’s just a small injury, don’t worry about it.”

“As I said before, if you don’t ascend, Grandpa will persevere no matter what.”

Su Xuan said meaningfully.

“Whether the Human Spirit Realm is in chaos or not, I have the final say.”

Li Guanqi felt a little relieved, but…

Li Guanqi slowly raised his head to look at the old man in front of him, his eyes complex as he slowly spoke.

“Grandpa.”

“Hmm?”

“Are you… the main body, or an upper realm clone?”

Hearing this, Su Xuan laughed heartily, his laughter extremely hearty.

Then, Su Xuan set up a barrier, cupped his cheeks with both hands, and smiled with a loving expression.

“Of course it’s the main body.”

“It’s just that… Grandpa also has a clone up there.”

“It’s been so many years since I’ve been back, I don’t know what it’s like now…”

Li Guanqi's heart was shocked, not by the fact that Su Xuan had a clone in the Immortal Realm.

But… the one in the Immortal Realm was actually a clone!!

In other words… no matter how big the vortex of this conspiracy is, the old man is taking risks himself!

He even feared making mistakes, so the main body descended…

Now, even the lower realm immortals have to pay a great price.

Since Grandpa wants to maintain such a realm and strength, the price he pays is even more unimaginable!

Su Xuan patted his head and smiled, “Don’t think so much.”

“Some things… wait a little longer, first improve your strength.”

“The Third Domain will be cleared out within three days, you can just go in.”

Li Guanqi nodded, then left the Seventh Domain with a heavy heart.

After he left, Su Xuan's expression gradually darkened.

The old man said softly, “Achen, how many Ascension Realm cultivators are still outside?”

Ling Tianchen pondered for a moment and whispered.

“There are only three left, one in the Sixth Domain, one in the Misty Sect, and one in the Ancient Clan.”

“For the time being, no traces of other Ascension Realm cultivators have been found.”

“If experts at this level take action, they will be extremely secretive. Every time they take action, I will be aware of it!”

Su Xuan narrowed his eyes, rubbed his fingers, and said softly.

“Keep an eye on the Third Domain. The identity of the person behind this in the Immortal Realm should not be simple.”

“I don’t want a single piece of information about Guanqi to be leaked up there.”

“If that’s the case… all the efforts of the past ten thousand years will be wasted.”

The old man narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.

“Don’t worry, Elder Su, as long as the other party dares to appear, I can keep him here.”

Su Xuan waved his hand wearily, and then swallowed several pills to suppress the injuries in his body.

In the empty Seventh Domain, Su Xuan's murmur slowly echoed.

“You brat… what exactly did you notice…”

“You haven’t returned to Beiliang City even once since you started cultivating!”

“The Great Xia Sword Sect is only a thousand miles away from Beiliang City, but you still won’t go there.”

“You have visited the tombstones of Ning Xiu and Song Zhiang several times, but you have never visited the tombstones of your sister and mother.”

“You… have you already noticed something?”
