Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Lu Kangnian stood solemnly on the high platform, gazing into the distance with bright eyes.

Gradually, in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, countless void rifts suddenly appeared in the sky beyond the realm!!

Lu Kangnian's heart surged as he witnessed this scene, and even the peak masters and elders behind him watched with excited expressions.

The strength of the sect filled everyone with pride!

Li Guanqi murmured softly, "They're back."

Buzz!!!

Intense spatial fluctuations slowly spread.

Dark cracks opened, and one unfamiliar figure after another appeared outside the realm.

These people were of all ages and genders, but their eyes widened slightly when they saw the current state of the Great Xia Sword Sect.

"This... is this still the Great Xia Sword Sect??"

"Why is the layout of the seven peaks so different? How is it so majestic and imposing, unlike what I remember?"

"Good heavens! It's only been three hundred years since we left, and they even have a realm now? Is that... Lu Kangnian????"

Because the current Great Xia Sword Sect was vastly different from what they remembered.

It was a complete transformation. If it weren't for the Heavenly Gate Cave and Heavenly Sword Peak being the same as before,

they would have even wondered if they had come to the wrong place.

These people stood in mid-air, looking at each other, then cautiously took out their identity jade tokens and infused them with a bit of their Yuan Power.

As the jade tokens glowed softly, the heavy cyan array screen slowly opened one rift after another!!

Upon seeing this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The sect... was still the same sect!!

Even if they traveled ten thousand miles and hadn't seen it for a hundred years,

as long as their identity jade tokens were still there, they were still members of the Great Xia Sword Sect!

Swoosh swoosh!!

Dozens of figures entered in single file, walking on air towards the high platform, their eyes sweeping around, filled with exclamations of surprise.

The first group of people to appear were all extremely strong, numbering in the dozens.

The lowest realm among these people was the Nascent Soul realm!

The crowd arrived before Lu Kangnian, standing side by side in order of their cultivation realm.

Looking at the imposing man before them, everyone stood in place, bowed, and shouted in unison.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

"Greetings, Sect Master!!"

The resounding voices echoed through the sky, and Lu Kangnian gently raised his hand to lift everyone up.

"No need for formalities."

"There are many things to do today. You may go to the realm first and find a courtyard or pavilion to settle down."

Among these people, Lu Kangnian also saw a few familiar faces. He looked at one man and couldn't help but smile.

"Luo Zhengping, you brat, you actually came back!"

The man smiled, his eyes full of arrogance. He looked at Lu Kangnian in his luxurious robes and teased.

"I knew you could be the sect master back then, tsk, you look the part."

"Hahahaha, knowing you have a lot to do, leave these people to me to arrange."

Li Guanqi looked at the man speaking, whose realm was around the early peak of the Transformation God realm. He didn't expect him to be from the same generation as the Sect Master.

The man also noticed Li Guanqi's gaze, his expression changed slightly, and he retracted the smile on his face, cupping his fist in salute to Li Guanqi.

Li Guanqi returned the greeting with a smile on his face.

Then, the first group of people returned to the realm, where Qin Xian was responsible for settling them down.

Moreover, the spatial rifts continued to increase, and the forces watching the ceremony were shocked!

Because the people who walked out of each spatial rift were all at least in the Nascent Soul realm!!

Upon seeing this scene, the onlookers all had the same question in their minds.

That is...

"How many years has the Great Xia Sword Sect existed for!!"

Because the age of these returning people was basically around three hundred years, and some had even cultivated for a thousand years!

There were only a few young Golden Core realm disciples, who were familiar faces.

Including the disciples who participated in the Purple Sun Hall battle back then, who were now returning one after another.

When they saw Li Guanqi, they all grinned foolishly, and Li Guanqi also cupped his fist in return, feeling emotional.

In this way, dense spatial rifts appeared continuously in the vast sky above the sect!

Flying demon beasts and all kinds of cloud boats and cloud shuttles were too numerous to count.

Li Guanqi stood by Lu Kangnian's side the whole time. Lu Kangnian had thought about letting Li Guanqi leave first,

but after Li Guanqi refused, he didn't insist.

This grand occasion lasted for a full three days!

And during these three days, the Great Xia Sword Sect recalled more than 8,000 former disciples, elders, and peak masters!!

Among them, Golden Core realm and peak Golden Core realm cultivators from past generations accounted for the majority, almost more than 90%.

But at this time, the number of Nascent Soul realm cultivators within the Great Xia Sword Sect had reached an extremely terrifying level!

There were more than 400 Nascent Soul realm cultivators alone!!

There were also nearly 100 Transformation God realm cultivators.

Although the number of cultivators was much less than Li Guanqi had expected, it was still very shocking.

Such strength was enough to make any force feel extremely terrified!!

Even those clan forces with tens of thousands of years of inheritance may not have the current strength of the Great Xia Sword Sect!

Even with tens of thousands of years of inheritance, the number of cultivators still alive was only so many.

Lu Kangnian also felt an unprecedented pressure.

Such a large number of cultivators was a severe test for all aspects of the Great Xia Sword Sect.

During these three days, almost all sect disciples did not rest, felling trees and building pavilions.

Not only them, but also the recalled disciples were helping. With everyone working together, the number of pavilions increased day by day.

Tang Ru had already gone to the Cloud Gazing Pavilion on the first day, but Li Guanqi had not left.

What surprised him was that so many returning cultivators did not cause any problems during these three days!

No one bullied the weak or caused conflicts.

Everyone silently cultivated in their rooms, waiting for the end of the summoning ceremony.

As time passed, Lu Kangnian's expression became more and more solemn.

Buzz!!!!

An old man with white hair slowly walked out of the void. He looked down at the vigorous momentum displayed by the current Great Xia Sword Sect and couldn't help but stroke his beard and smile.

Lu Kangnian frowned as he looked at the old man, his eyes flashing with contemplation.

But he heard the old man cupping his fist and laughing: "Hahaha, Sect Master Lu probably doesn't recognize me, right?"

At this time, Qin Xian in the realm teleported over, looking at the old man with a shocked expression, and transmitted his voice in a deep voice.

"Sect Master, this is the twenty-ninth generation Law Enforcement Elder! Gong Ze!"

The old man did not put on airs at this time, and introduced himself generously. Lu Kangnian bowed and saluted.

"The return of the Senior is truly a blessing for Great Xia. Please go to the realm to rest first."

But the old man waved his hand and smiled: "No need."

Gong Ze turned to look at Li Guanqi, who was striding forward, and smiled: "Little friend should also feel it, the last few people should have arrived."
