Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Li Guanqi looked at the woman in front of him, her voice filled with滔天怒意 (towering rage), and his heart was filled with complex emotions.

To be honest, his first meeting with the Sword Spirit wasn't pleasant.

Both of them had a strong will in their bones.

He never regarded the Sword Spirit as just a spirit; their relationship was more like that of a mentor and friend.

And their relationship became much closer without them even realizing it.

The original Sword Spirit probably thought Li Guanqi was the same as those young men who had obtained the Sword Coffin before.

Those people were young and frivolous, and they became arrogant after only glimpsing a little of the Sword Coffin's power.

But Li Guanqi… was the first to successfully awaken the Apocalypse of the Red Lotus Sword!

All previous successors could only achieve Soul Rend with the Red Lotus, and even Soul Rend wasn't as effortless as Li Guanqi's control.

It could be said that Li Guanqi was the Red Lotus's favorite master.

And she… saw countless possibilities in Li Guanqi, even the greatest hope of touching those things.

All of this had nothing to do with Su Xuan.

She didn't need to fear anyone, not even Su Xuan.

The Sword Spirit suddenly turned to look at Li Guanqi, the golden sunlight shining behind her like waves of wheat.

This scene made Li Guanqi's heart tremble.

He saw expectation and hope in the Sword Spirit's eyes.

Such ordinary eyes appearing on her were like an old mortal woman killing a God Transformation cultivator with a kitchen knife, unbelievable.

Li Guanqi looked a little stunned, suddenly feeling… that the Sword Spirit seemed several times more beautiful than before.

Li Guanqi took a deep breath, his eyes burning as he looked at the Sword Spirit and said softly.

"Believe me, one day, I will make you tell me your real name."

"And I'll use your name to reason with people properly."

The Sword Spirit couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, her beautiful eyes, like the bright moon and starry sky, curved again and again.

Bright teeth, and crimson lips slightly parted.

"I'm waiting for that day, waiting… for you to willingly let me tell you, my real name."

"Before that… Li Guanqi, become stronger, constantly become stronger!"

Li Guanqi grinned and suddenly asked, "Sword Spirit Sis, will you really have a physical body one day?"

The Sword Spirit turned her head, her red dress as fiery as fire in the sunlight.

With her hands behind her back, her white jade feet lightly tapped the void, her figure spinning as her red dress fluttered like a cluster of blooming flames, dazzling and brilliant.

The Sword Spirit raised her face, her eyes slightly closed, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

As if enjoying the peace and warmth of this moment.

This scene deeply touched Li Guanqi's heart.

This scene was like a beautiful painting imprinted in his mind, lingering for a long time.

The Sword Spirit, who had stopped, stood in the distance, her slightly complex voice slowly coming.

"I will never have a real physical body."

"Because… I am a spirit."

Her voice was calm, but with a very complex emotion.

This emotion was mixed with unwillingness and confusion, and some regret and tentative feelings.

Li Guanqi didn't understand why, but he silently kept these words in his heart.

Li Guanqi walked along with the Sword Spirit in silence.

At this moment, the Sword Spirit suddenly spoke with a playful look on her face.

"That Peng Luo… is not simple, nurture it well in the future."

"As for Jiu Xiao, you still need to take it out to fight with great demons frequently to maintain its bloodthirst."

"But the most important thing is that you need to integrate the power you possess."

"I've noticed that you're already consciously cutting off things that are irrelevant to the Sword Dao, which is very good."

Li Guanqi nodded and said softly, "Yes, other powers may greatly improve me in a short time."

"But I still want to be a pure sword cultivator."

The Sword Spirit smiled and nodded, "That's right, only by pursuing the ultimate Sword Dao can you truly comprehend many sword techniques."

As she spoke, the Sword Spirit had Li Guanqi display all of his current sword moves, and began to point out his shortcomings and guide his Sword Dao from the side.

Li Guanqi conjured a lightning longsword in his hand and began practicing swordsmanship in the sky.

This practice lasted for three days.

During this time, countless strong individuals were attracted and watched from a thousand feet away, not daring to approach at all.

Li Guanqi, who was immersed in the Sword Dao, didn't notice these people at all.

When he woke up from that immersive comprehension, he realized that he was surrounded by crowds of people.

"Ahhh!! Senior seems to be awake!!"

"Huff… these two days of observation have even loosened my shackles a bit."

"What a terrifying sword cultivator, just watching and comprehending his sword aura can allow me to break through!!"

The noisy discussions of the surrounding cultivators entered his ears, and Li Guanqi shook his head helplessly.

He didn't expect that his immersion in the comprehension and practice of the Sword Dao these past few days would attract so many people to watch.

Suddenly!

The dense crowd of people around him bowed respectfully in the direction of Li Guanqi!

Everyone's movements were uniform, but no one said anything.

After all, their observation was without Li Guanqi's consent, which was somewhat presumptuous.

And Li Guanqi didn't bother with them the moment he woke up, also showing the broad-mindedness of a strong individual.

Li Guanqi was slightly stunned, this feeling of being respected was very wonderful.

He cupped his hands to all sides, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and praised him.

"Senior is righteous!"

"Thank you, Senior, for the grace of today's comprehension. I am Wu Tian from Eastern Continent Valley! If you need any help in the future, Senior, please feel free to ask."

As soon as this was said, others also reported their names, all trying to establish some relationship with Li Guanqi.

Li Guanqi's eyes were inexplicable, he curled his lips, and a flash of lightning under his feet instantly disappeared from the spot.

"Huff… this can be considered a complete resolution of everything."

"Then next… some things must be completely settled!!!"

"Bastard, Cang Lu!!"

Swish!!!

A jade slip engraved with the character 谷 (Valley) appeared.

Li Guanqi said in a cold voice.

"Find out where Cang Lu is!"

Soon, the jade slip replied almost instantly.

"Taiqing Domain, Floating Wood Valley."

A cold light flashed in Li Guanqi's eyes, and he murmured in a low voice.

"Taiqing Domain? Hmph! Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will kill you!!"

Everything that had happened recently was caused by Cang Lu.

Li Guanqi suddenly froze for a moment.

"Taiqing Domain? Isn't Old Ye in Taiqing Domain?"

Then he obtained information on how to get to the Taiqing Domain from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

Carefully putting the jade slip back into his storage ring, Li Guanqi muttered to himself happily.

"It's great, I don't have to pay for anything I ask, awesome!!!"

Looking at the map transmitted in the jade slip, Li Guanqi instantly tore through the void and began to hurry on his way in a chosen direction.

Along the way, Li Guanqi polished his Sword Dao with the Red Lotus in hand, and the refining of the Heavenly Fire Pearl was also progressing little by little.

His aura also became more and more stable, without the superficiality of just breaking through.

His understanding of the power of the God Transformation realm itself became much more thorough.

After all, with the Sword Spirit around, cultivation problems were not problems.
