♂,
Summoning a World-Purifying Qinglian Leaf required immense strength, and the summoner had to be a tenth-level immortal! We all cried out in surprise.
"Ruan Qiushui has reached the tenth level? I remember she hadn't... Wasn't this supposed to be a backup?" Li Qinghe asked in confusion. Yet a world-purifying catastrophe was unfolding right before us. The Qinglian Leaf had already demonstrated its power at the prefectural headquarters, reducing the entire place to ruins and nearly killing Di Xianchen with a single sword strike. If not for Xuanyuan Ruxin, it would have killed him outright.
This time, however, the World-Purifying Qinglian appeared to be in use by our side. As I recalled, the spellbook I had sent Ruan Qiushui should only just have reached her. Unless she truly had a photographic memory, how could she use it without having memorized the incantation? More importantly, reciting the incantation alone would not summon it. The preliminary preparations, the connections within the spell, and communion with heaven and earth were all strict requirements.
Who, then, could manifest the World-Purifying Qinglian Leaf again? I raised a hand to stop Li Qinghe and the others from advancing. "Don't go over there yet. The summoning is still underway, and we don't know what's happening. Don't get caught in it!"
Only then did Li Qinghe draw a breath. "I almost forgot. That thing's energy never runs out. Touch it and you die."
None of the cultivators dared approach. After all, I had previously injured cultivators who had come to rescue me while using the World-Purifying Qinglian Leaf. Since we had no idea where the wielder would strike this time, we could only wait here.
The World-Purifying Qinglian Leaf was still taking shape, but it was forming faster than when I had summoned it, as though its wielder
