Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

The next morning.

The atmosphere within the Cloud-Wreathed Great Xia Sword Sect was somewhat solemn.

All disciples stood in the square wearing neat sect robes, their formations orderly, without any noisy sounds.

It was the height of summer, and as the golden sunlight pierced through the clouds and灑灑洒撒 to the earth.

Inside the Heavenly Thunder Peak courtyard.

Gu Li, who had been busy all night, emerged from the Pill Peak, his face still covered in soot.

As Gu Li opened the door, he saw everyone waiting for him.

He grinned.

Taking out many exquisite, golden glass-like earrings from his pocket.

Li Guanqi asked with some puzzlement.

"What are these?"

Gu Li proudly distributed the earrings to everyone.

"These are little gadgets I created by combining the arts of formation, talisman, and artifact crafting."

"I observed that the ascension passages are all independent."

"Which means… it's possible that we won't end up in the same place after we go up."

"To make it easier for us to find each other, these things can sense our presence within a thousand miles!"

"Just in case, just in case, hehe."

"Fourth brother, sister-in-law, these are for you two."

Everyone received a pair, and then Gu Li handed each of them a storage ring.

"These are talismans I prepared long ago, with one hundred thousand in each storage ring."

Gu Li scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and said.

"Um… the number of Appraisal Talismans is limited. I don't know if they'll still work up there, so use them sparingly."

Li Guanqi's lips slightly curved upwards when he heard this, and he jokingly said.

"Isn't it called Great Soul Cleaving Talisman?"

"Hahahahahaha!"

Amidst the laughter, Li Guanqi said softly.

"It's almost time, let's go."

Li Guanqi turned around with Meng Wanshu and bowed to Li Guilan.

Then the two of them hugged the woman.

Li Guilan pursed her lips, tears welling up in her eyes.

Meng Jiangchu also felt a little uncomfortable.

But there was nothing he could do. Even if he wanted to stay, he couldn't…

Meng Jiangchu put his arm around the woman and whispered in her ear.

"Guilan, cultivate diligently, we'll be waiting for you up there! When the time comes, our family will be together again."

Li Guilan, with red eyes, reached out and pinched the tender flesh on the man's waist.

"You bastard, if you dare to mess around up there, just you wait."

"I will definitely cultivate hard and go up there as soon as possible to keep an eye on you!"

Everyone couldn't help but stifle their laughter, while Meng Jiangchu smiled and brushed the woman's hair behind her ear, saying.

"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person, we'll be waiting for you!"

The group soared into the sky!

By this time, everyone's injuries had recovered to about seventy or eighty percent. Although not fully healed, they were close enough.

Peng Luo poked her head out, leaned on Li Guanqi's neck, hugged his head, her eyes bright.

"How's Jiu Xiao?"

Peng Luo waved her arms excitedly, gesturing.

"Don't worry, Master, I咔咔咔咔 snapped him up, and after Jiu Ge ate it, he was嘎嘎 fierce."

"Cough cough, he'll wake up after sleeping a little longer."

Li Guanqi chuckled to himself, realizing that Peng Luo genuinely cared for Jiu Xiao this time.

Jiu Xiao's silent dedication also filled him with deep emotion.

Li Guanqi's group of six, plus Meng Wanshu and Li Qingchan, and Meng Jiangchu.

A total of nine people!!

The Great Xia Sword Sect's main square had been renovated overnight, and before the magnificent hall.

Li Guanqi's enormous statue stood at the very front.

The statue was a hundred zhang in size, carved entirely from top-grade spirit stones, naturally formed, and was actually an entire small spirit vein.

White robes fluttered, his sword pointed at the sky, his brow and eyes full of unyielding spirit, his temperament extraordinary.

The nine people walked onto the huge high platform in the center of the square.

Lu Kangnian, wearing the sect master's robe, was present with all the high-ranking members.

Li Shengan turned his head and said to Zhong Lin.

"I never thought I would live to see someone ascend, and they are from the same class and sect…"

Zhong Lin shrugged.

"Could I have imagined it?"

"I'm so envious…"

Shen Lan stood in front, tears in her eyes.

Li Guanqi's voice rang in her ear.

"Rest assured, Teacher Mother, I will definitely do everything I can to help Teacher after I go up!"

"Teacher Mother must also cultivate diligently and ascend to the Immortal Realm as soon as possible!"

Dang! Dang! Dang!

Nine heavy bell chimes echoed through the clouds!

Lu Kangnian slowly stepped forward, his expression solemn.

"Today, all of you are about to ascend. There are some words I would like to say to you juniors."

Li Guanqi and the others looked solemn and bowed.

"Sect Master, please speak."

The man's gaze softly swept over Li Guanqi, Ye Feng, and the others.

He looked at them not with the majesty of a sect leader looking at his disciples, but more like a father looking at his sons who were about to go on a long journey.

"The events of the past are still vivid in my mind."

"We gathered at the sect, suppressed demons, and upheld justice, cultivating the Dao to this day."

"Now you have grown strong, your swords point to the nine heavens, and you are about to cross the boundless void and set foot in the Immortal Realm."

"Although the path of cultivation is long, perseverance will lead you to your destination!"

"Hold a righteous heart, guard righteous intent, and you will be able to move forward fearlessly."

"Do not forget your original aspirations, and no matter which realm you are in, remember the Dao in your heart!"

Everyone nodded solemnly.

Lu Kangnian paused slightly, and said softly.

"If you have the opportunity in the future, I hope you can look back at the mortal world and guide more descendants."

"Go!! The path to immortality is vast, go and forge your own path, achieve supreme immortal achievements, and leave your name for eternity!"

Everyone was stirred by Lu Kangnian's words.

The brothers were high-spirited!

The Xiao family, the Ye family, the Tang family, and Gu Changsheng were almost all present to witness the ceremony.

Gu Changsheng was seriously injured and did not plan to ascend with Gu Li this time.

Everyone's eyes were filled with tears as they waved goodbye!

This farewell… who knew when they would meet again.

The pressure of heaven and earth was vast, sweeping across everything.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth fluctuated violently, and a holy golden glow emanated from the nine people.

Above the sky, the rosy clouds filled the sky, and the bright and dazzling light turned into pillars of light descending from the sky!!

Nine huge golden pillars of light fell on the Great Xia Sword Sect's square, enveloping each of them.

Rumble!!

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and the tribulation of ascension arrived as expected.

Li Guanqi took a deep breath and bowed to Lu Kangnian!

"Great Xia Sword Sect, disciple Li Guanqi, today I am ascending to the Immortal Realm with five of my brothers."

"Over the years, thank you to the sect for nurturing and taking care of us, for giving us support, and for being our strongest backing!"

"This kindness and affection, I will never forget!"

Lu Kangnian's eyes were red, he kept exhaling, and forcibly stabilized his state of mind.

He held his sword in one hand and threw it out suddenly, shouting loudly.

"Great Xia Sword Sect disciples, listen to my order! Draw your swords!!"

"Respectfully send off everyone, ascending to the Immortal Realm!!"

Ree! Ree! Clang!

One after another, the sounds of swords being drawn rang out, and the colorful sword lights rose from the ground, soaring straight into the sky from the square!!

Loud sword cries echoed through the clouds!!

"Respectfully send off the seniors, ascending to the Immortal Realm!!"

"Respectfully send off the seniors, ascending to the Immortal Realm!!"

This shocking scene caused the eyes of the world to focus on the Great Xia Sword Sect.

Nine powerful figures ascended to the Immortal Realm together in the Great Xia Sword Sect. Such a grand occasion was unprecedented!
