Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Two people of vastly different social status were now sitting together, drinking and chatting.

From Lin Wujiu's words, Li Guanqi also learned a lot about the Immortal World.

In the Immortal World, the difference in cultivation levels greatly affected one's status.

At the same time, the principle of 'might makes right' was thoroughly embodied in the Immortal World.

The law of the jungle was perhaps the most fitting description for the Immortal World.

During their conversation, Lin Wujiu was very curious about where Li Guanqi came from.

He knew that some spirit realms had excellent resources, and many strong individuals ascended from them.

This was because many ancestral figures from these spirit realms had established considerable power in the Immortal World.

But…

The few spirit realms he knew of never had their cultivators ascend to the Floating Jade Land.

Most of those who ascended to the Floating Jade Land came from spirit realms with very scarce resources.

No matter how he tried to draw him out, Li Guanqi could effortlessly change the subject.

On the contrary, he himself unknowingly revealed a lot to Li Guanqi.

Li Guanqi understood that the reason the other party treated him as an equal was not because Lin Wujiu was so approachable.

It was because of their previous sparring match.

He had demonstrated strength and talent that forced the other party to take him seriously.

Lin Wujiu drank his wine, his eyes appraising Li Guanqi in a strange manner.

Li Guanqi feigned a chill and rubbed his arms.

“Don't look at me with such ‘disgusting’ eyes. You don't have some special fetish, do you?”

Lin Wujiu looked shocked, his pupils trembling as he stared at Li Guanqi in disbelief.

He pointed at his own nose, saying with a shocked expression.

“Me?”

“A special fetish?”

Li Guanqi shrugged as he drank his wine, muttering.

“You do have a pretty boy look, so it's possible.”

“Why don't you do a feminine hand gesture for me to see?”

Lin Wujiu retorted with an indignant expression.

“No one has ever said that about me!”

“Oh, maybe they just didn't dare to say it.”

Just as Lin Wujiu was about to retort, Li Guanqi, holding his wine cup, focused his gaze on his right hand.

Five gilded ancient rings emitted a faint glow.

Li Guanqi's eyes flickered as he softly spoke.

“What exactly are you suppressing inside your body?”

“You actually need five interconnected ancient rings to seal it?”

Lin Wujiu's expression changed, and his gaze towards Li Guanqi became filled with vigilance.

“Who told you?”

Li Guanqi shrugged and lightly touched the ancient rings with five strands of Spirit Absolution Bloodline.

In an instant, the five blood threads instantly coalesced together.

Li Guanqi narrowed his eyes slightly, frowning.

He sensed an extremely powerful force within them!

“No wonder…”

“This power far exceeds what he can handle, so it must be sealed.”

“But… is this his original power, or an external force?”

Li Guanqi's heart was filled with doubt.

But Lin Wujiu was extremely shocked…

This was his biggest secret, yet Li Guanqi had guessed it after just a brief examination.

Li Guanqi retracted his Spirit Absolution power and softly asked.

“I heard you killed a Profound Immortal of the seventh level before.”

“How many rings did you unseal to kill him?”

Lin Wujiu breathed a slight sigh of relief. What Li Guanqi had just said was indeed what he felt.

After a long silence, Lin Wujiu slowly extended two fingers.

“Two.”

Li Guanqi curled his lip.

“Tsk, good heavens, only unsealed two?”

Lin Wujiu shook his head with a wry smile, his handsome face showing a hint of helplessness as he whispered.

“At most, I can only use the power of two unsealed rings now, any more…”

Although Lin Wujiu didn't continue speaking.

Li Guanqi could tell that with his current strength, unsealing one more ring would probably cause him to lose control.

The two of them didn't delve deeply into this topic.

Their relationship hadn't progressed that far yet.

The two men lay on chairs in the yard, drinking wine.

Lin Wujiu looked at the night sky and suddenly said.

“I feel like you have a lot on your mind?”

Li Guanqi smiled, his eyes crinkling as he softly said.

“Missing close friends.”

Lin Wujiu's eyes sparkled as he asked with a smile.

“Did they ascend with you?”

“Yes.”

“How strong are they?”

“If their strength is too low, they might be directly captured to be mine slaves.”

“If they're lucky, they might be taken in by some sects.”

Lin Wujiu said to himself.

But when Li Guanqi heard these words, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted.

“They… are all very strong!”

“As for mine slaves, none of them would accept that fate.”

Lin Wujiu smiled.

“Not accept fate?”

“Do you think they're all like you? Fighting your way out of the ascension platform.”

Li Guanqi smiled slightly, not refuting, and said to himself.

“We… are all people who don't accept fate, that's how we got to where we are today.”

“Anyone who accepted fate along the way wouldn't have made it this far.”

Lin Wujiu looked at Li Guanqi very seriously, and found that he didn't have the slightest hint of jest.

So he nodded solemnly and chuckled.

“I really want to see what kind of guys you're talking about.”

Li Guanqi took a sip of wine, and looked up at the bright moon in the sky and smiled.

“One day, our names will resonate throughout the Immortal World.”

He turned to look at Lin Wujiu, who had a speechless expression.

“You don't believe it.”

“I don't believe it.”

“Hahahahahaha, then let's wait for that day!”

Lin Wujiu got up and said.

“Rest early, do you want to continue sparring tomorrow?”

Li Guanqi glanced at him sideways.

“It's fine with me, but if you're like today again, I definitely won't hold back.”

Lin Wujiu smiled awkwardly.

In the following days.

The two were fighting madly in the treasure hall.

Boom!!!!!

Li Guanqi sat cross-legged in the sky above the City Lord's Mansion.

The clouds churned endlessly, and the dense immortal spiritual energy almost materialized around Li Guanqi.

Lin Wujiu, covered in blood, stood blankly not far away, looking at Li Guanqi sitting in mid-air and muttering.

“Profound Immortal Second Level…”

“I'm a genius… then what is he?”

“One month after ascending to the Immortal World, breaking through from the Ascension Realm to the Profound Immortal Second Level, almost surpassing the cultivation progress of others over hundreds of years.”

In the past few days, both of them had made great progress. Lin Wujiu's eighth sword technique was beginning to show some promise.

But… compared to Li Guanqi, Li Guanqi's progress was incredibly fast!

Now, if the two of them were placed in the same realm, he would no longer be able to suppress Li Guanqi.

But he could also see that Li Guanqi's techniques and movement skills were of extremely low grade.

These things had completely limited the display of Li Guanqi's strength.

It was hard to imagine how powerful Li Guanqi would be if he had matching techniques and so on.

Rumble!!!

Terrifying thunder flames spread out in all directions like waves.

A powerful and unparalleled pressure erupted from Li Guanqi's body.

Profound Immortal Second Level!
