Li Xiuping looked up at the giant sword and felt a sense of insignificance.
Li Xiuping asked: "Is this a seal?"
The Lord of Emperor Wu City nodded, pointed to the bottom of the giant sword, and said, "What can Young Master Li see?"
Li Xiuping looked at where he was pointing and discovered that there were marks on the giant sword, from top to bottom, from shallow to deep.
Those marks indicate that the giant sword is being pulled up by some kind of force, and it will rise a little bit every once in a while, so that kind of mark appears, and the latest mark should have appeared not long ago.
Li Xiuping glanced left and right, his eyes moving from the strong men in Emperor Wu City to the stone tablets, feeling a little confused.
The Lord of Martial Emperor City explained: "These are the people who have guarded the seal in Martial Emperor City for generations. The seal needs to be continuously reinforced with power, so many people have dedicated their lives here, and some people have never even left Martial Emperor City. "
Li Xiuping was stunned, looking at the densely packed names, and looking at the strong men from Emperor Wu City sitting on the ground, his heart was complicated and difficult to describe.
I thought that when the strong man stood up, another strong man would replace him.
The strong man who got up walked towards the Lord of Martial Emperor City and saluted: "Now the seal is getting looser and more serious. At this speed, it can only be sustained for another month at most."
The Lord of Emperor Wu City nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
After speaking, he looked at Li Xiuping and asked, "Can Mr. Li see anything?"
Li Xiuping stared at the giant sword again. After looking at it for a while, he shook his head.
Not to mention seeing anything, he didn't even know those words, and he was just pretending to look at them for so long.
Seeing Li Xiuping shaking his head, the Lord of Emperor Wu City was obviously a little disappointed, but he seemed to have expected it.
The Lord of Emperor Wu City sighed: "It seems that everything is fate."
After saying that, he continued: "Let's get started."
Everyone nodded at the same time and then began to form seals.
As the seals of these people changed, the runes on the ground began to move, and then waves of power continued to bless the Lord of Emperor Wu City.
With the blessing of these powers, the aura of the Lord of Emperor Wu City continued to grow, and soon reached a limit.
At this time, the Lord of Emperor Wu City looked at He Feng.
He Feng walked out, and then slowly flew into the air towards the giant sword.
As He Feng's body flew into the air, all the people who formed the seal followed suit and soon appeared around the giant sword, with He Feng standing right on top of the giant sword.
The Lord of Emperor Wu City's seal changed and he transferred his power directly to He Feng. Then He Feng's aura began to surge, but it soon stopped. The excess power continued to act on her body through her body. On top of that giant sword.
On the giant sword, the runes flickered, and the iron chains stretched straight at this time, and then the entire ground began to shake.
The giant sword began to sway, and then moved downwards little by little, continuing to penetrate deep into the earth. Before it dropped even a point, a violent force rushed out in all directions. The strong men of Emperor Wu City sitting on the ground smashed these into the earth. The power he exerted was forcibly suppressed and introduced into those runes.
Li Xiuping just stood aside and watched, watching the giant sword continue to fall, and soon it dropped to the latest mark. Then the falling speed of the giant sword began to slow down, and it became slower and slower. After three marks, he remained motionless.
Those powerful men also floated down directly. The Lord of Emperor Wu City and He Feng did not fall, but were still hovering in mid-air.
As all the strong men fell to the ground, He Feng's body suddenly trembled, and then his whole body lost support and seemed to fall to the ground.
The Lord of Emperor Wu City appeared next to her, hugged her, and fell to the ground. He Feng was actually unconscious.
Li Xiuping asked: "Is she okay?"
The Lord of Emperor Wu City shook his head and said: "It's just that I have endured too much force and my body can't bear it. Just rest for a few days and it will be fine."
Li Xiuping nodded and asked, "How long can this last?"
The Lord of Emperor Wu City looked at the giant sword and said, "It will take about a month."
Li Xiuping didn't speak, just frowned.
The Lord of Emperor Wu City continued: "In one month, Emperor City of Emperor Wu will become the fourth battlefield."
He then said to his disciples: "Go, let the people in the city leave as soon as possible, and at the same time spread the word about the situation in Emperor Wu City, and gather as many surrounding sects as possible into Emperor Emperor City to be prepared to fight against the demons. "
After a man saluted, he walked out first.
The Lord of Emperor Wu City handed He Feng over to another woman, and the woman took He Feng away.
The Lord of Emperor Wu City looked at the powerful men on the ground and said, "Engrave your names on them too."
The strong men stood up one after another and engraved their names on the stone tablets.
As everyone was carving their names, the Lord of Emperor Wu City pulled up all the stone tablets from the ground with a wave of his hand. Then he raised his hand and the stone tablets flew directly out of the whirlpool, circled in the sky, and disappeared.
After doing all this, he said to those people: "The world may never know you, but I will always remember you."
Those strong men didn't say anything. They just sat back to their original positions one by one, continued to hold the seals, and continued to maintain the operation of the formation.
Li Xiuping just watched, his heart was complicated and difficult to understand at the moment.
The Lord of Emperor Wu City also looked at him at this time and said with a smile: "What are Mr. Li's plans next?"
Li Xiuping was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The city lord is going to drive this junior away?"
The Lord of Emperor Wu City smiled and said: "This is not the case, but once the seal is completely lifted, I will no longer be able to guarantee the safety of Mr. Li, so it is better for Mr. Li to leave as soon as possible."
Li Xiuping nodded and said nothing.
The Lord of Emperor Wu City continued: "Let's go, go out first and then talk."
Li Xiuping nodded, followed the one-armed old man out of the whirlpool, continued upward along the light-condensed stairs, and soon appeared on the cliff.
The old man put his only remaining arm behind his back and walked forward along the cliff. Li Xiuping was also walking beside him, and behind him was the disciple of the Lord of Emperor Wu City.
The old man pointed to the coast in front of him and asked with a smile: "Isn't the scenery of Emperor Wu City not bad?"
Li Xiuping was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
The old man continued: "There won't be any in the future. Let's take a look at it more while you can still see it now."
Li Xiuping asked: "If the seal is lifted, will they..."
He said nothing further.
The Lord of Emperor Wu City nodded and said: "Once the seal is lifted, they will be the first line of defense and will be the first wave of people to die in Emperor Wu City."
Li Xiuping wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it.
After a while, Li Xiuping asked: "What can this junior do?"
The Lord of Emperor Wu City was stunned and said with a smile: "If Mr. Li really wants to help, he can help refine some elixirs and forge some spiritual swords."
Li Xiuping was stunned.
The Lord of Emperor Wu City continued: "With more elixirs and elixirs, Emperor Wu City can survive for a while, and fewer people will die."
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Okay, the city lord will just send me the materials for making swords and making alchemy when I get back."
The Lord of Emperor Wu City saluted Li Xiuping and said, "On behalf of Emperor Wu City and this world, I thank Mr. Li."
Li Xiuping waved his hand.
The two continued to move forward, and the Lord of Emperor Wu City asked: "Master Li really can't form elixirs?"
Li Xiuping didn't expect him to ask this suddenly, but he still nodded and said: "If you don't have spiritual roots, if you want to form a pill, the seniors should know the difficulties better than the juniors."
The Lord of Martial Emperor City nodded and said in confusion: "I just don't understand. Without spiritual roots, I can only follow the martial arts path. But Mr. Li obviously did not follow the formal martial arts path before, but built the foundation with the immortal path. Now And with the martial arts pill formation, judging from the aura, it is only the foundation building period, but it is not an ordinary foundation building."
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "Before, this junior did build the foundation according to the normal cultivation method, but after reaching the peak of the foundation building, he was unable to condense the golden elixir, so that he even reached the sixteenth level in the foundation building period."
He looked at the old man next to him and continued: "There is a sacred Fuso tree in my body. Seniors should be able to see this. The inability to form elixirs has something to do with this sacred Fuso tree. The strange thing is that although I cannot form elixirs, But because of this willow tree, another me has been born in my body, which is a situation that can only occur in the distraction stage. The junior was able to fight against the strong men in the integration stage before, with the help of the power of the other me."
The Lord of Emperor Wu City was a little stunned.
He had heard a lot of rumors about Li Xiuping, but after meeting Li Xiuping, he could only see that Li Xiuping's cultivation was in the foundation building period. Although it was different from ordinary foundation building, it was indeed only the foundation building period.
If the other self in his body is not asleep, the Lord of Emperor Wu City should be able to see some clues with his Mahayana cultivation. However, it happened that after the battle with Master Huo Ling, the other Li Xiuping has been sleeping until now. Wake up, so now Li Xiuping is indeed only at the foundation building stage.
Li Xiuping continued: "To be honest, the reason why this junior was able to inherit the ruins of the ancient battlefield has a lot to do with the other me, and those inheritances are also controlled by him. I actually don't know much. I know how to deal with the demons, and I got it from the previous battle with Master Huo Ling."
The Lord of Emperor Wu City was stunned again, his eyes couldn't help but look at Li Xiuping.
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "So I really don't know if there is a way to strengthen the seal in your inheritance. It's just that I thought it was troublesome and didn't want to explain it. But now I think I should make it clear to my senior."
The Lord of Emperor Wu City smiled and said, "Is it because we are going to die?"
Li Xiuping shook his head and said, "Because the Lord of the City is my master's friend."
The Lord of Emperor Wu City was stunned, smiled slightly, and said: "To be honest, you and your master are really similar."
Li Xiuping followed the conversation and asked, "Does the City Lord know the life experience of this junior?"
The Lord of Emperor Wu City shook his head and said: "After your master forged the way home, he disappeared. When he reappeared, it was because of you, so before you walked out of that small place in Yunzhou, I didn't know you existed at all. "
He looked at Li Xiuping and asked, "Do you want to know your life experience?"
Li Xiuping nodded.
The Lord of Emperor Wu City said: "If you really have no clues, you can try to go to Kunlun Mountain."
Li Xiuping was stunned.
The Lord of Emperor Wu City smiled and said: "There is a Kunlun Mirror in Kunlun Mountain, which can be used to predict the past and the future. I don't know if those tough-nosed old masters are willing to lend it to you."
Li Xiuping nodded and fell into thought.
When he mentioned Kunlun Mountain, he couldn't help but think of Chen Wanrong. Unknowingly, they had been separated for many years.
The Lord of Martial Emperor City continued: "Returning to your practice, although you have already formed martial arts pills and already know the man from the library, so it may not be difficult to gather martial souls in the future, but there is no way to do it in martial arts. , even if there is a method, it is still difficult to reach the sky, so it is best to choose the normal way of practice."
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "This junior has also thought about it, but that guy said that when my physical body reaches a certain level, I can directly enter the integration stage, so even if I can't form the elixir, I can directly transcend the golden elixir and Nascent Soul. The realms of becoming a god and being distracted are just..."
He paused and continued: "It's just that after the merger, there can only be one leader, and I can feel that that guy wants to erase me and replace me."
The Lord of Emperor Wu City was stunned and asked: "So you want to improve your strength through martial arts so that you can fight against him?"
Li Xiuping nodded.
The Lord of Martial Emperor City nodded, shook his head, and said: "It's too difficult. Since he can deal with the strong ones in the integration stage with your current body, then even if you follow the martial arts route, let alone condense the martial soul, even if At a higher level, it might be difficult to suppress him."
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "There is always more hope."
The Lord of Emperor Wu City fell into deep thought, and after a while he said, "Maybe you can go to the south?"
Li Xiuping was stunned.
The Lord of Emperor Wu City continued: "I heard that there is a method of dual cultivation in the south. It is somewhat similar to your current situation. Maybe you can start from this."
Li Xiuping frowned and said, "The method of dual cultivation?"
The Lord of Emperor Wu City nodded and said: "A method that can be practiced both internally and externally. I don't know the details very well, but it seems to have some connection with Taoism and Buddhism. Whether it is feasible or not, you have to try it yourself to know."
Li Xiuping nodded, feeling suddenly more hopeful.
When I was in the Tianlan Sect before, I knew that there was a way to practice martial arts in Emperor Martial City, so I came to Emperor Martial City and successfully solved the problem of forming martial arts pills, and also learned about the method of condensing martial souls.
Now that he knew about a dual cultivation method from the city lord, he naturally wanted to try it.
Judging from the current situation, it seems that something is guiding him step by step, first guiding him to Emperor Wu City, and then guiding him to the south, and this guidance also solved his problems in cultivation step by step.
If we think further, from the time he left Qingyang County, it seemed that someone was secretly guiding everything, guiding him to Huayang Sect, successfully building the foundation, and then guiding him to enter the Penglai Immortal Boat and obtain the Fusang Sacred Tree. This allows him to directly achieve the distraction period without being able to form a pill.
After the inexplicable martial arts elixir formation, there was an invisible force that guided him to martial arts elixir formation and the method to condense the martial soul. After seeing that all this was the end, a new way of practice appeared...
All of this seems to be driven by a pair of invisible hands.
Naturally, the person driving all of this couldn't be his master.
No matter how powerful his master was, he was just an ordinary person, a swordsmith who only knew how to forge iron. If he said it was his master, he was more willing to believe that it was the senior Jiuxian.
But Li Xiuping even felt that even the senior Jiuxian did not have such power.
So what kind of being can do something that even an immortal cannot do?
Li Xiuping saluted the Lord of Emperor Wu City and said, "Thank you, senior, for informing me."
The Lord of Emperor Wu City smiled and waved his hand: "I just happen to know. As for whether it can be useful to you, I can't guarantee it."
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "It's much better than having no hope at all."
The Lord of Emperor Wu City nodded and asked, "Then when do you plan to leave?"
Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "Don't worry about it in advance. After all, the seniors also said that the south is currently at war with the demons. If I ran there so recklessly, I'm afraid I will have to be defeated by the demons before I can find the so-called dual cultivation method." Targeted."
The Lord of Emperor Wu City smiled and said: "That's true. Now only this City of Emperor Wu is relatively safe."
The two of them continued to move forward, continued chatting, and said whatever came to mind. Suddenly their relationship became much closer, and Li Xiuping no longer cared so much about the things he had been plotted against before.
In fact, it's not that Li Xiuping is really not in a hurry, he just wants to do his part for Emperor Wu City. Since he can't directly fight against the demons, it would be good to help Emperor Wu City refine some elixirs and forge some spiritual swords.
In fact, for a moment, Li Xiuping really wanted to unravel those inheritances directly to see if he could help Emperor Wu City. However, this idea was not very firm, and in the end he was defeated by reason.
Li Xiuping just felt that so many powerful people in Emperor Wu City could choose to sacrifice without hesitation. As a person with only the foundation-building level, there was nothing he couldn't sacrifice.
But he still has many things to figure out, many secrets about himself that he needs to uncover, and he can't just stop here.
After Li Xiuping returned to his residence, it didn't take long for Emperor Wu City to send various sword-making materials and countless medicinal materials for alchemy, and Li Xiuping's yard was immediately filled with supplies.
Li Xiuping knew that the Emperor Wu Cheng family had a great cause, but he really didn't expect to be able to come up with so many materials and medicinal materials at once.
He was also prepared to go all out and spare no effort to help Emperor Wu City, but seeing so many medicinal materials for alchemy and so many sword-making materials, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
If you really want to refine all these medicinal materials into elixirs, if you really want to cast all these materials into a spiritual sword, let alone whether you can bear it, you don't know how long it will take just in terms of time.
But we have already agreed, what else can we do besides risking our lives?
The good impression Li Xiu Ping had for the one-armed old man was instantly gone after seeing these herbs and ingredients.
Some people died, but not completely...
