Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Immediately following that, other people's voices echoed from within the jade pendant…

“Great, Second Sister is notifying us again.”

“I knew there was no way Second Sister would actually discuss it… uh… Dragon, you’re going to have to go clean up the mess again.”

Zen Kongzi clasped his hands together, forcibly sealing the abyss rift before him and marking it.

A silver light flashed, and it wouldn't be long before someone would come to reinforce the seal, effectively completing his mission.

The stern-faced Zen Kongzi suddenly spoke, “Netherworld, what are you doing?”

At the edge of the Dao Zen Domain sea, Netherworld’s hands flew, weaving blood threads to construct a massive blood-colored sealing array.

He cursed in a low voice, “I’m sealing!!! What, am I doing your mom!”

“Why are there so many rifts!! I’m about to go crazy from exhaustion, and you keep asking, asking, asking, asking your mom’s legs!!”

Zen Kongzi held the jade pendant far away… his expression was strange, but he didn't dare to retort…

Recently, if you were to say who among them was the busiest, it would definitely be Netherworld.

This guy was like a firefighter, having to go wherever a fire broke out.

The jade pendant suddenly went silent, and Dragon Marquis’s voice slowly came, “You guys continue, I’ll go check on Red Weaver.”

Netherworld’s eyes flickered as he watched the gradually sealed barrier, his face slightly pale.

Only after the rift was completely sealed did he slump onto the rubble, gasping for breath.

“Damn thing, actually suspecting me at this time!”

Purple Spirit Grotto.

Li Guanqi and Ye Feng sat alone on the mountaintop, drinking wine.

Li Guanqi said softly, “You still haven’t completely refined the thing Dragon Marquis gave you?”

Ye Feng scratched his head, tilted it back, took a swig of wine, and laughed, “I was just planning to completely refine it in the next couple of days.”

“Otherwise, I won’t be able to unlock the second stage of the Sword Ruins.”

Ye Feng’s entire body was covered in hideous scars, making it hard to imagine what he had experienced during his usual adventures.

He stared blankly into the distance, and said softly.

“老大 (Lǎodà - Oldest Brother/Boss).”

“Yeah?”

“It’s so tiring trying to catch up to you…”

“My talent is average, my comprehension is average, and my cultivation speed isn’t good either.”

“I knew it wouldn’t be easy to catch up to you when I left you for the first time.”

“But I was really confident when I climbed out of the Abyss of Purgatory, especially when I rescued you from the plaza back then, I felt so accomplished.”

Li Guanqi looked at Ye Feng, who looked exhausted, and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Ye Feng continued drinking and said, “It’s not just me, Big Head and Xiao Chen are the same.”

“Xiao Chen likes my sister, Ye Qing’er, but he hasn’t come back since the incident.”

“Every moment since he came back this time has been spent cultivating.”

This was the first time Li Guanqi had heard Ye Feng reveal his innermost thoughts like this, and he pursed his lips, unsure of what to say.

Ye Feng looked at him and said softly, “The brothers don’t want to be left behind, but you’re moving too fast…”

“The brothers have to run for their lives to keep up.”

Ye Feng lay on the grass, pillowed his hands behind his head, looked at the sky, and murmured with his eyes closed.

“Sometimes I think… Boss… why is there such a big difference between people.”

“Just hearing about that Sun Tianqi, I feel like my chances against him are only fifty-fifty.”

“And the Sun family is just a small family in the ancient clans.”

“How strong would the younger generation cultivated by so many ancient clans with ten thousand years of heritage be?”

“So tired…”

Li Guanqi sat beside him with his back to Ye Feng, not knowing what to say.

Talent is really the thing that limits everyone's potential. Ye Feng and the others are no worse than anyone in terms of character.

They cultivate hard enough, and they are even willing to risk their lives…

But even so, he had to admit that the gap between him and them was getting bigger and bigger.

Li Guanqi said softly, “You should completely refine the thing Dragon Marquis gave you.”

“There’s still a little bit left… I’ll protect you while you do it.”

Ye Feng got up, smiled, and nodded. He entered a state of cultivation with every breath.

Looking at the young man who was refining the golden light between his eyebrows with the surging Yin Nether Mysterious Fire around him, Li Guanqi sighed softly in his heart.

“Sword Spirit…”

“I know what you want to say.”

“Their talent can only be considered above average, it will be difficult to improve…”

“But if they can ascend to the Immortal Realm, they can find some things, and I can help them.”

“Now… it’s difficult!”

Sword Spirit’s voice sounded mercilessly in Li Guanqi’s mind.

Li Guanqi’s expression changed slightly. He didn’t expect that even Sword Spirit couldn’t do anything.

Sword Spirit couldn’t bear to see him like this.

She said very aloofly, “Practice diligently on weekdays and send me more Source Power, and I can get some cultivation techniques for each of them.”

“Also… I think you can ask that man in golden armor for help.”

Li Guanqi’s face lit up. The reason why his strength was so strong was largely due to the sword techniques Sword Spirit taught him.

If Ye Feng and the others could have such powerful cultivation techniques, their strength would definitely improve rapidly!

“Uh… are you saying let Dragon Marquis take them as disciples?”

Sword Spirit shrugged and glanced at Xiao Chen in the stone pool in the distance and smiled.

“Isn’t that guy using a spear? If you ask, that guy should agree.”

Li Guanqi’s eyes flickered, and he secretly made a decision!

He didn’t want to be alone after ascending to the Immortal Realm. He wanted to go to the magnificent Immortal Realm with his brothers!

Sword Spirit sat gracefully beside Li Guanqi, staring at him with her beautiful eyes and said softly.

“When they wake up, find a time when I can help them reopen their Spirit Ruins.”

Li Guanqi’s expression suddenly became stern when he heard this, and he frowned slightly and blurted out.

“The Spirit Ruins are already closed. Even if you can reopen them, wouldn’t that consume a lot of your original power!”

Sword Spirit curled the corners of her lips and looked at him with her head tilted.

“Don’t worry, these little guys… as long as you want, I will help them.”

“For me, it won’t cause too much damage.”

“Their current Ruin Artifacts are all chosen by them, not choices they made.”

Sword Spirit raised her head slightly, her eyes showing a look of reminiscence, and murmured.

“I can let them… choose those ‘Artifacts’ on their own.”

“Those… Artifacts that once needed me to look up to them.”

After the words fell, Sword Spirit turned her head and looked at Li Guanqi with a smile in her eyes, “'They’ are also very strong! Really strong!”

Li Guanqi, who had recovered from the shock, whispered for a moment, “Is it because of the Spirit Decree?”

Sword Spirit smiled and pointed to the center of her eyebrows and said, “It’s not because of the Spirit Decree.”

“Because… in this world, under the nine heavens… I’m afraid only I remember 'them'.”

“There is only one chance. Whether Ye Feng and the others can find 'them' depends on whether there is a connection between the two.”

Li Guanqi took a deep breath, turned his head, looked at Sword Spirit with a look of reminiscence, and said softly, “Thank you.”
