Silvergrass prairie.
The beach on the edge of Penglai Sea.
A ray of light broke through the sky, and the light dispersed, revealing a figure in plain robes, who was the True Lord of the Spiritual Realm.
She stood on the grassland with an elegant figure, like a fairy from the Moon Palace descending to earth.
She closed her eyes and began to quickly absorb the energy of heaven and earth.
Her virtual realm appears like a world of ice and snow, and she seems to see illusory snow peaks and vast ice fields between heaven and earth.
This illusory scene is as amazing as a mirage. The aura of the True Lord of the Spiritual Realm gradually became stronger, and her figure began to become blurry, as if she had merged into the world.
The next moment, these illusory scenes disappeared together with the Spiritual Sword Master.
There was only silence on the grassland, as if everything just now was just an illusion.
On the beach of Penglaihai, the waves are crashing on the coast and the waves are rough.
The sea breeze blows by, carrying a faint smell of the sea, intertwined with the breath of the grassland...
The virtual realm of Lord Spirit Sword seems to be a miniature world, full of life and danger.
On the snow-capped mountains, a group of flying cranes danced gracefully, their light feathers shining in the sun. There are ice spiders crawling on the vast ice field. But in the deep valley, there are cunning poisonous snakes hiding, they spit out their cores and look fiercely.
There is a river of blood deep in the valley, and there are terrible monsters hidden in the blood river.
The seriously injured Xia Ruoxue slowly woke up...
Her consciousness gradually returned, and there was severe pain in her body...
Xia Ruoxue struggled to sit up and found herself beside a winding river of blood.
The current of the Blood River is fast and carries a strong smell of blood.
At this time, her face was pale and her clothes were in tatters.
With a flash of inspiration, the True Lord Spirit Sword in plain robes appeared in front of her.
The eyes of Lord Spirit Sword revealed a touch of indifference. She said calmly: "As soon as you recover from your injuries, go out as soon as possible. Unless you are my fellow disciple, I cannot leave a third-level presence in my virtual realm."
Xia Ruoxue looked at the True Lord Spirit Sword and couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt in her heart. She asked tentatively: "Are you afraid that I will destroy the virtual realm?"
Lord Spirit Sword did not answer, but the emotion in his eyes said everything.
Xia Ruoxue continued: "It turns out that my current strength is enough to destroy the world."
Lord Spirit Sword sneered and replied: "Now, my virtual realm is connected with the energy of heaven and earth. Even if your strength increases tenfold, you cannot destroy it."
Xia Ruoxue was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then asked: "I understand, but since I have reached the third level of cultivation, why don't I have a virtual realm?"
"Hmph!" Lord Spirit Sword snorted coldly and said, "Who told you that the third level must have a virtual state? So many third-level monsters don't have a virtual state. If the ancient monks' cultivation methods were used to upgrade to the third level, There is no virtual realm, but the ancient methods can only be practiced by those with spiritual roots, and only a very small number of people have the qualifications to practice. Unlike now, everyone can practice with the same ginseng, and those inferior methods will naturally be eliminated... ...Although there is no virtual realm in your body now, there should be a golden elixir, which is the source of your power."
Xia Ruoxue's heart moved after hearing this, and she began to feel the power in her body. She felt a bloody magic bead spinning in her Dantian, providing her with endless power.
Lord Spirit Sword looked at Xia Ruoxue and remained silent, and continued: "Now that you've woken up, let's go out. The calamity will not appear again."
A force acted on Xia Ruoxue. Xia Ruoxue could obey or resist, but she still chose to obey.
The next moment.
Xia Ruoxue appeared in the outside world, and the energy of the surrounding world changed...
This is the virtual state of Lord Spirit Sword severing contact with this world.
Then the spiritual light flashed, and the Spiritual Sword Lord appeared out of thin air in the outside world.
Xia Ruoxue immediately said respectfully to True Lord Spirit Sword: "Your Majesty."
Lord Spirit Sword looked at her with a trace of expectation in his eyes.
"You have now broken through the third level through ancient methods. Do you want to know the road ahead?"
Xia Ruoxue nodded without hesitation, her eyes shining with desire.
"If you want, I can teach you." Lord Spirit Sword said calmly.
Xia Ruoxue was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath, knelt down and kowtowed: "Disciple Xia Ruoxue, pay homage to the master."
Lord Spirit Sword looked at her, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
"Very good... from now on, you will be my disciple." Lord Spirit Sword raised his head and laughed.
"Now we go to Penglai Immortal Island to find high-level monks who can suppress the destiny magic weapon. Only in this way can we kill Leng Xuanyang to prevent him from continuing to cause trouble to the world." The Spirit Sword Lord said coldly.
Xia Ruoxue nodded.
Then the two of them turned into two escaping lights and flew towards the vast Penglai Sea...
…
In Xiantu City, on a seaside street, Li Shuidao stood alone on the seaside, overlooking the rough Penglai Sea.
He sensed Xia Ruoxue's aura through the original poisonous blood on his body and confirmed that she had left and entered the vast sea.
Li Shuidao had mixed feelings in his heart. He understood that Xia Ruoxue had embarked on her own path, just like him.
Each of them has their own pursuits and wishes, which is a reflection of human nature.
Looking back on the past days, Xia Ruoxue has been by his side. From the initial ignorant girl to the current third-level practitioner, her growth and changes are all vividly visible.
However, now that Xia Ruoxue has broken through to the third level, her cultivation is no longer something he can protect.
She needs to pursue a higher and further path, this is her choice.
"Everyone has his own path." Li Shuidao murmured to himself.
Now what Li Shuidao needs to do is to find the Tianji meteorite as soon as possible, break through the secret realm of Immortal Path, and get Pangu Xu.
He needs to advance himself to the third level.
On the path of cultivation, if others come to the front, they will not stop and take a second look at you.
Pro-Yuan Xian fish, as retreat webs.
Hurrying up and growing step by step is what you should do.
In the days that followed, Li Shuidao made alchemy, participated in auctions, and even put up a reward of 200,000 spiritual stones on the black market.
Li Shuidao only dares to offer a reward in a place like the black market where his identity is hidden. If the reward is made public, then it is inevitable that interested people will know that he possesses the "Deep Sea Spirit Pearl" and "Abyss Purple Jade", and then what he wants will not be available. Obtaining it will give rise to endless disasters.
More than a year has passed...
Li Shuidao and Tuoba Wan'er's alchemy attainments have both reached the pinnacle.
They often helped Wei Qiankun refine fourth-level elixirs without ever failing.
Wei Qiankun needs fourth-level elixirs to improve his cultivation, which also proves from the side that he has cultivated to the level of the Formless True Monarch.
But even so, Li Shuidao still hasn't received any news about the "Tianji Meteorite".
At this time, there is less than half a year left before the secret realm of Immortal Path opens.
…
The welcoming hall of the city lord's mansion.
At this time, a petite and beautiful woman and a young boy stepped into the palace.
It was Tuoba Wan'er and Li Shuidao.
"I wonder why the Lord of the City is looking for me and the two of you?" Tuoba Wan'er saluted Wei Qiankun respectfully.
"No need to be polite." Wei Qiankun said with a smile, "I heard that you have been looking for this thing."
After saying that, Wei Qiankun waved his hand, and a stone appeared on the table out of thin air.
The stone was dark brown in color, and its surface was covered with strange lines, as if it contained some mysterious power. The shape of the stone is irregular, but every part exudes an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
The stone is surrounded by a rich heavenly essence, as if there is a mysterious force constantly surging.
"This..." Li Shuidao couldn't believe it. He looked at the stone and felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart. "Could this be the legendary Tianji meteorite?"
"Yes, this object is the Tianji meteorite." Wei Qiankun nodded and admitted with a smile.
"This..." Li Shuidao hesitated, "What do you want us to do?"
Wei Qiankun suddenly took out this object, he must have some intention, Li Shui asked knowingly.
"You two have helped me refine many fourth-level elixirs over the years, so I will give this to you two." Wei Qiankun said slowly.
Li Shuidao said hurriedly: "Thank you, senior, for your generosity."
Tuoba Wan'er also said excitedly: "Thank you City Lord, my husband worked so hard to find this thing. I never expected that my brother would give it to us so generously."
Wei Qiankun smiled and shook his head and said: "This is just a small thing, there is no need to be so grateful. The secret realm of the Immortal Path is about to open. This is a rare opportunity. If you want to get the Pangu Beard safely, you still need to prepare some fighting skills. Means and powerful magic weapons.”
Li Shuidao frowned. He had stayed in Xiantu City for these years, and naturally he had heard about the dangers of Xiantu Secret Realm.
"The Immortal Path Secret Realm is a special space that only second-level peak monks can enter. There are third-level monsters in the secret realm. With your level of cultivation, you must form a team and form a battle formation to compete with them."
"If it's a sect, it's easy to say, everyone has already been used to cooperating. If it's impossible for casual cultivators to cooperate temporarily to kill the third-level monsters, they can only go alone. If you are lucky, you may be able to get Pangu Beard, but if you are unlucky, you can only run away in vain. This trip..."
"In addition, there is no map in the Immortal Path Secret Realm. The terrain inside will change every hundred years. The maps of the Immortal Path Secret Realm sold in the market are all fake. Don't believe it..."
"The Taoist techniques you need to prepare and the magic weapons you buy are definitely not for fighting. Instead, you need to find a way to prevent the third-level monsters from discovering you, or even if they find you, you can escape. Only by finding a way to survive can you have a chance. Obtain Pangu’s beard.”
After Wei Qiankun was given the face-to-face instruction, Li Shuidao quickly stood up and said, "Lord City Lord, your kindness of support and guidance will be engraved in Li Shuidao's heart and will never be forgotten."
Wei Qiankun nodded and smiled.
Tuoba Wan'er also walked up to Wei Qiankun with a respectful look and saluted Yingying.
"Brother, please accept Wan'er's bow."
"Wan'er has nothing to repay, she can only remember her brother's great kindness."
"Remember to take the Tianji meteorite." After Wei Qiankun finished speaking, he turned and left.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord."
"Thank you, brother."
