Human Emperor Sword Scar

Several Yang Spirit True Person began to argue.

While it wouldn't be called an "argument," it was still not a pleasant experience overall.

Li Qi and Shen Shuibi listened from above and roughly understood the argument between the group.

Zhang Xin, this outsider of the eighth rank, who also had connections with Mount Luofu, wanted to lead the group inside. His reason was that there were still many enemies outside, and since they couldn't break in, they might as well go in and take a look. If they found any treasures that could heal their wounds, or if they found something good, it would give them more confidence in surviving.

There are many dangers outside, but many treasures inside, so naturally the inside is better.

As for the dangers inside Mount Luofu? What dangers could there be? This is Mount Luofu, the abode of immortals. Who would plant so many bombs in their own home? Besides, even without entering the mansion, the spiritual herbs on the outskirts alone might be enough for several people to break through and attain immortality.

The old Daoist priest, however, insisted on opposing it. He might have thought that we shouldn't touch anything on Mount Luofu, but the example he gave was danger. The outside was already so dangerous, but we could still resist for now. If we went inside and there were still dangers, then there would be no way out, and everyone would probably die inside. So it was better to wait for dawn in this safe place.

After dawn, the Yin Ghost will retreat. Then, take advantage of the Yang Energy to leave directly. Everyone will have gained something, and everyone will have plenty of spiritual herbs. Don't be too greedy, or you will suffer disaster.

Liu Dewang had a different opinion. He felt that since the outside enemies, those bandits who sneaked in to dig up the heritage of Mount Luofu, dared to come in, they must have something to rely on. And now that reliance has been exposed, that is, they can manipulate Yin Ghost.

The fact that they were just surrounded and attacked by the Yin Ghost was clearly the work of the other side, which is why they dared to come in so brazenly. They were not afraid of the biggest threat in this place, the Yin Ghost.

Now that they are injured, if they continue to sit and wait for death, it will be easy for something to go wrong. It would be better to go deep into the mountains, heal their wounds first, remember the kindness of Mount Luofu, and then rush out.

After all, they had come here because of the matter of Mount Luofu, and if the immortals knew this, they certainly wouldn't make things difficult for them.

Ouyang Dongsheng was even more decisive, thinking that since he had come all this way, how could he possibly leave empty-handed?

After some arguing, the old Daoist priest had no choice but to agree to their request and go inside.

At this moment, Li Qi was in the sky, said to Shen Shuibi, "Two of them are blinded by greed, one of them has ulterior motives, and only the other one still has good intentions."

Although the old Daoist priest was very concerned about protecting himself, what person would really risk their life for an outsider? Li Qi already thought his performance was quite good.

"These are all minor matters. The main issue is that Zhang Xin ... the fluctuations around him are so strange. I want them to go deeper and see what kind of Cultivation Method has such a deep connection with Zhu Ming Cave ..." Shen Shuibi said.

She is indeed very strange.

Even her own Cultivation Method wasn't that closely connected to Zhu Ming Cave's.

"It is indeed strange. Let's take a look." Li Qi nodded and said, "Then I'll put a Pure Yang magic treasure inside to lure them in to search for treasure?"

"No need. There's more than enough left in Mount Luofu. It's a kind of... fortuitous opportunity. If they can really find it, then let them take it. After all... such a deep connection must have a cause and effect. Let's go with the flow." Shen Shuibi said, then turned her finger, and saw some spiritual herbs in Mount Luofu actively emitting their aura, and many of the remaining Law Treasure resonated together!

With this commotion, the entire Mount Luofu was sealed off by Shen Shuibi's Technique Method!

Unable to get in or out, they must complete a "level-based game" to escape.

During this period, one may die or make a fortune; it all depends on individual fate.

All of this was so that Shen Shuibi could investigate the relationship between this imperial carriage and Zhu Ming Cave.

This feeling made Li Qi vaguely feel that it was somewhat familiar.

Now... it seems all that's missing is a young genius who's been overlooked and is keeping a low profile.

Nestled among the mountains, three major sects, each led by a Yang Spirit True Person, were exploring an ancient ruin when an accident occurred, trapping them inside. The exploration then began.

The following plot should be that this genius secretly develops his skills, but is targeted by others. He uses the traps inside to ambush the big boss, kills two greedy eighth-rank officials, picks up the inheritance, takes the treasures from this ancient ruin, and emerges with a surge in cultivation, possessing Law Treasure artifacts, and his social status directly rises a level.

Unfortunately, things didn't go that way. Shen Shuibi had seen through the backgrounds of these thousands of Daoist priests, young and old, and they were all very ordinary; there was no possibility of that happening.

Besides, if such a genius really exists, no one would be foolish enough to suppress him. The world is vast, and there's no need for a life-or-death struggle. If you are truly outstanding, you will definitely be valued by your elders. Everyone is counting on outstanding descendants to inherit the Dao Lineage, so why would they suppress you for no reason?

Like Li Qi, he has always received help from the Dao Lineage behind him, and he will continue this legacy in the future. At the same time, he will create a new path for the Dao Lineage, even if it is only a little bit of progress.

This is the only logical thing to do. The purpose of taking on disciples is to pass on the tradition. If you take them in to suppress them, then why did you take them in in the first place?

What is the purpose of passing on traditions? The purpose is, of course, to go further while maintaining the current level without regressing. If the teachers themselves cannot do it, they certainly hope that future generations will do it.

Our predecessors have already traveled thousands of miles. Even if the younger generation only takes one step forward, it is still good. If we continue in this way, one day we will be able to reach the end of this long journey and touch the legendary 'ultimate Tao'.

This is the real purpose. The Dao Lineage is not a criminal organization. The struggle for power and profit is meaningless to the Dao Lineage. Suppressing geniuses does them no good at all, so why bother targeting them?

If such teachers truly exist, they are mostly found in the mortal realm. People with such a broad mind are generally not of a high rank, given the high level of comprehensive qualities required for cultivation. Those who cannot even understand this simple matter are too foolish and will not go far on the Dao Path.

Therefore, the scenario of a genius turning the tables that Li Qi wanted to see is unlikely to occur.

However, it's not absolutely necessary to watch. After all, the most urgent task is not to watch the show, but to find out the connection between the other party's Cultivation Method and Mount Luofu, and to make Zhang Zhen reveal his purpose.

Li Qi does know the art of soul searching, and Shen Shuibi probably also has a similar hypnotic method to make the other party reveal the truth, but he feels it's not very reliable.

After all, would someone who has connections to Mount Luofu really be afraid of soul searching?

As mentioned before, Cultivation Method are kept secret, which is why soul searching can easily lead to problems. (See Chapter 202 for details)

It would be better to arrange things this way, luring the other party to reveal their purpose, which would be more appropriate.

"So, it seems you've set up these traps and tests to push them to their limits?" Li Qi asked, looking at Shen Shuibi from the side.

Because he saw that layers of traps and machinations had already been laid down below, progressing from no rank to ninth rank, then to eighth rank, then to seventh rank, rising all the way up, but the highest rank was only seventh rank.

These mechanisms were ingeniously designed, leaving Li Qi in awe. They were truly impressive, with each mechanism linked to the next, designed to squeeze the most out of people's potential.

Since the goal is to create an epic adventure through ancient ruins, it's essential to set up corresponding traps and challenges, pushing them to their limits step by step.

How to arrange it still requires a lot of skill.

"I...I didn't prepare or arrange any traps." Shen Shuibi frowned, her expression serious, looking down at Mount Luofu.

"Huh?" Li Qi was taken aback.

At the same time, his expression turned gloomy.

If it's not Shen Shuibi, then who is it?

Almost simultaneously, Li Qi activated True Knowledge without hesitation.

True Knowledge Dao Charm evolved once again while in Hell. There, Li Qi merged with a third strand of True Knowledge, which was left behind after the Demonic Energy Clone perished.

It seems this must have been a gift from the Heavenly Demon, because Li Qi had seen many profound truths within the Heavenly Demon's eye socket, that is, within the Three Lives Ancient Mirror.

Taking advantage of this, the Heavenly Demons uncovered countless secrets of Chang'an, brazenly collecting intelligence right under the Emperor's nose.

However, Li Qi is now like a dead pig that doesn't fear boiling water. Anyway, he has already figured out that the Heavenly Demon doesn't need to plan anything to deal with him. The reason why he needs to plan is because other powerful beings are interfering. So he will take what he wants and let them bite him if they dare.

For these reasons, he is no longer afraid of the Heavenly Demons. Just like humans living on Earth, they could be killed by a sudden gamma-ray burst at any time, but no one would worry about it.

Whatever, I can't possibly not use True Knowledge anyway. After being strengthened twice and the three strands of True Knowledge have merged into one, the effectiveness of True Knowledge is now incredibly strong.

Li Qi even felt that if he exerted his strength, he might be able to penetrate even the space under heaven? He just hadn't tried it.

He can even scan Shen Shuibi's body now, and he can force the scan. If Shen Shuibi doesn't prepare, she can no longer stop Zhenzhi at this moment.

Of course, although it can't be stopped, it will definitely be noticed, and if it is actually done, the outcome will not be good.

The enhanced True Knowledge Dao Charm, like the 'divine thought' fabricated by the ignorant, swept across the entire area below, examining all the traps and trials.

Clearly, these things cannot stop the true knowledge that has been strengthened to the present day.

"It's over there, Zhu Ming Cave." After scanning the area, Li Qi discovered that all the Law Power was directed towards Zhu Ming Cave.

Shen Shuibi turned around and said, "You two stay outside, I'll go in and take a look."

"What did you say to me just two days ago?" Li Qi grabbed her.

Shen Shuibi paused for a moment, then said, "That's fine too. Old Ma can stay outside, and the two of us can go in and take a look."

After saying that, Old Ma was left outside. Without waiting for Old Ma's reaction, the two flew directly towards Zhu Ming Cave.

Old Ma opened his mouth, then fell silent for a moment.

Forget it, let them go. One is a fifth-rank and the other a sixth-rank. I doubt anything can harm them. As for me, an eighth-rank, I'll just stay outside and watch those Daoists suffer.

It's quite a watch, especially seeing those who hit you get beaten up, making you wish you could go down and do it yourself.

Meanwhile, Li Qi and Shen Shuibi ventured deep into the heart of Mount Luofu, arriving at the point where the peaks of Mount Luo and Fushan meet.

There, a broken passage faintly appeared, from which ripples resembling those of 'Liesu' emanated.

This was also personally arranged by a powerful being, a setup similar to the Fast Universe, allowing for rapid access to the Zhu Ming Cave, which should be a hidden place in Mount Luofu.

After all, it's Zhu Ming Cave, one of the legendary Ten Great Grotto-Heavens of Daoism. It's probably a place no less than a second-grade world... or even First Rank World, right?

Li Qi followed Shen Shuibi, only to see her cast several Method Formulas, like a code, to open the gate to Zhu Ming Cave.

"Come in, be prepared, it might not be very safe inside," Shen Shuibi said to Li Qi. Then, a protective barrier appeared around her, enveloping the two of them with the power of a fifth-grade cultivator.

Li Qi also added another layer of protection, using multiple Technique Method to create an extra layer of protection for himself and Shen Shuibi.

After taking precautions, the two entered the cave.

There's no need to worry about any problems with the transmission channel in the cave, since this is an important place in Mount Luofu. Anyone below the second rank shouldn't even think about tampering with it.

Upon entering Zhu Ming Cave, we didn't even have time to admire the scenery.

The instant they entered, Li Qi and Shen Shuibi simultaneously stretched out their hands, using all their strength to reinforce their defenses!

The two figures appeared behind them, exerting all their strength for defense!

Because, the aftershock of a Sword Qi, like a blazing sun, descended from the sky!

That Sword Qi didn't resemble a sword at all; it was a world... no, a whole swarm of worlds! The entire swarm of worlds launched an attack on Li Qi and Shen Shuibi!

The Earth Fire, wind, and water all stirred, and the Sword Intent swept in. The sword blade shone like stars in the sky, and the tip of the sword seemed to erupt like Earth Fire. Wherever it passed, heaven and earth were annihilated! A huge shockwave shot into the sky! The clouds within a radius of ten thousand miles were all overturned, the ground sank, and a deep gash appeared. The aftershocks alone carved out a huge canyon that was ten thousand miles long and many miles deep!

It should be noted that the main impact of the Sword Qi had already been blocked by Shen Shuibi and Li Qi, and only a small portion of the direct impact on the ground was actually blocked.

Li Qi felt as if his eyes and skin were being pricked by needles, causing him excruciating pain. His body had not been attacked at all, because the sword was still in the defensive phase. However, the 'sharpness' of the Sword Qi energy had already rushed into his eyes. Just the energy alone caused Li Qi, a sixth-rank cultivator, unbearable pain!

Shen Shuibi was in the same situation, and even more so because she had suffered more.

However, one was a fifth-rank and the other a sixth-rank, both top-tier. The Sword Qi was just a aimless, wandering aftershock, so it was barely managed to withstand.

Li Qi also muttered to himself, revealing the source of this Sword Qi.

"This is... a remnant of the Human Emperor Sword?"

There are hundreds of millions of such remnants before us!
