Ma Feifei was stunned.

Seeing Ma Feifei's stunned expression, Zhang Yunji thought it was normal, because he had been the same way before. So, ignoring Ma Feifei, Zhang Yunji continued, "In the past 30,000 years of the Azure Dragon, there have been rumors of people possessing the Blessing of the Immortal, but these were all eventually confirmed to be false, mere hearsay."

"It is precisely because the Azure Dragon has not received Blessing of the Immortal in the past 30,000 years that many people believe this legend is false."

"But in fact, some high-ranking families on the Azure Dragon Continent are quite certain that this legend is true. The reason it hasn't appeared yet is simply because the time isn't right."

"Moreover, it is said that if the Blessing of the Immortal appear, all five will appear at once; as long as the five Blessing of the Immortal reappear on the Azure Dragon Continent, the predicament of the Azure Dragon Continent not being able to become immortals for 30,000 years can be broken."

At this point, Zhang Yunji was also very excited, pointing to the projection and saying, "Our Liu Ying has been Blessing of the Immortal and possesses the Exquisite Heart, one of the five blessings. Shopkeeper, do you know what this means?"

"Does that mean your sister will become an immortal in the future?" Ma Feifei replied subconsciously.

Zhang Yunji shook his head, then nodded, and said, "Shopkeeper, you're only half right. It's true that Liu Ying will become an immortal, but more importantly, the birth of the Exquisite Heart also means that the Blessing of the Immortal have also been born! With the Blessing of the Immortal appearing together, the curse that prevented the Azure Dragon from becoming an immortal for 30,000 years will be broken. At that time, becoming an immortal will no longer be an illusion, and the scene of immortals walking everywhere in ancient times will soon arrive!"

The Azure Dragon Continent has not seen an immortal for a full thirty thousand years!

For thirty thousand years, countless remarkable figures, including powerful beings at the Peak of the Ninth Stage of Spirit Saint, have attempted to break through their limitations and step into the Immortal Realm, but all have failed and died in despair.

Everyone says that this is a restriction left by the immortals for the descendants of the Azure Dragon Continent; as long as the Blessing of the Immortal does not appear, the Azure Dragon Continent will never have immortals!

Becoming an immortal is the lifelong goal of every cultivator. Why cultivate? Only to reach the Immortal Realm and ascend to the heavens!

Without becoming an immortal, one ultimately cannot withstand the erosion of time.

No matter how outstanding or unparalleled you are, you will eventually be buried underground, unable to escape an endless slumber.

"This is indeed quite shocking," Ma Feifei exclaimed.

Even someone as lazy as him secretly hopes to one day become an immortal and live forever.

After all, everyone wants to live longer.

"Therefore, no matter how profound this illusion is, it cannot hide from the Blessing of the Immortal," Zhang Yunji said confidently.

Ma Feifei nodded. If that's true, Liu Ying's Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart is much more powerful than the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart in "Investiture of the Gods." Look at that, Blessing of the Immortal —just the name sounds impressive.

At this moment, Zhang Yunji suddenly bumped into Ma Feifei's shoulder.

Ma Feifei was taken aback and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Unmarried." Zhang Yunji raised an eyebrow.

"You've got some nerve? Daring to talk to me like that? Yun Qingyang, drag him out and beat him to death!" Ma Feifei shouted at Yun Qingyang.

"I was wrong, shopkeeper." Zhang Yunji's face fell instantly, and he quickly ran away.

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You want to introduce your sister to me? So you can use your brother-in-law status to not work at the Bookstore? You're dreaming." Ma Feifei rolled her eyes and leaned on the table to continue watching the plot unfold.

In the projection, Liu Ying in white robes crossed the river.

Everything went smoothly, without any problems.

Upon stepping onto the other side of the land, the entire river suddenly changed color; the blood-red water turned into clear, transparent river water; the surging flow became gentle, flowing slowly.

"It's an illusion!" Upon seeing this, the cultivators inside and outside the Bookstore finally realized what was happening, and they were all astonished.

"How did Miss Liu Ying see through this illusion?" A powerful figure nearing the Spirit Venerable realm asked in shock. If the illusion hadn't broken itself, he wouldn't have known that what he had just witnessed was an illusion.

"I didn't see it either." An old man shook his head. His strength had already reached the Spirit Venerable realm, but he was not even Liu Ying, who was at the Spirit King realm. He looked ashamed.

"I didn't see it either." Everyone shook their heads and sighed.

While everyone else felt inferior, Liu Ying had already headed towards the mountains and arrived at the end of the story, in front of the Mangcang Mountain Xiao God Temple.

It was less of a palace and more of a dilapidated, run-down house.

The gold roof with peeling paint, the red door in disrepair, and the eaves covered in knots.

Ancient trees towered all around, providing ample shade. Their branches, like ivy, clung to the roof of the Xiao Shen Hall, while the roof tiles were scattered in twos and threes around it. Sunlight streamed into the Xiao Shen Hall like giant pillars, illuminating the scene inside.

Holding the broken sword, Liu Ying entered the Xiao Shen Hall.

Upon entering the hall, thirty meters directly in front are nine steps leading up to a gilded dragon throne. On the throne sits a skeleton.

With a towering physique, he must have been a king who looked down upon the world in life. Now, he has turned into a skeleton, his tattered sleeves fluttering in the wind, a king's desolation.

On either side of the gilded dragon throne stood a drum stand. Because no one had moved it for many years, the drum stands had become dilapidated, and spiders had grown in the crevices.

Liu Ying stepped forward and came to the bottom of the steps. She first bowed to the skeleton, and then walked to the drum stand on her right. According to the clue, the Purple Ying Sword was hidden in the drum stand.

Using the broken sword to sweep away the spiders at the cave entrance, Liu Ying reached her hand inside.

The cultivators inside and outside the Bookstore became unusually quiet, their faces tense as they stared at Liu Ying. Whether they could obtain an eighth-order spirit sword depended on this one move.

It went smoothly, and a fair, delicate hand appeared before everyone, holding a purple spirit sword.

"We got it!" everyone exclaimed softly, letting out a sigh of relief.

'Buzz'

The Purple Ying Sword trembled slightly, as if telling the Liu Ying that it was willing to become Liu Ying spirit sword.

High-level spirit swords already possess independent intelligence.

Liu Ying was very happy. Looking at the Purple Ying Sword in her hand, she gripped the hilt with one hand and the scabbard with the other. With a 'clang', she pulled half of the Purple Ying Sword out of the scabbard.

The Purple Ying Sword shone brightly under the sunlight, its blade emitting a faint purple glow. Two characters were engraved on the blade and hilt: Ziying.

"Alright, let's go back then." With a 'whoosh,' Liu Ying sheathed her sword and started to walk down the steps, but suddenly stopped and glanced at the drum stand on her left.

"Do you think there might be an eighth-tier spiritual artifact on the drum stand on the left?" The people in the Bookstore seemed to know what Liu Ying was thinking and started discussing it.

"I think it will happen, otherwise two drum stands wouldn't just appear out of nowhere," someone said confidently.

"Could it be a trap?" someone questioned, noting that deaths caused by greed are common in the world of cultivators.

That makes sense.

"What if it doesn't?"

Before everyone could reach a conclusion, Liu Ying ultimately chose to give up and walked down the steps.

'Bite'

'Story mission complete!'

'Brush'

The book "The Legend of the Swordsmen of Shu Mountain" shone with golden light, and a beam of light shot out from it, with Liu Ying appearing inside the Bookstore.

At the same time, the book "The Legend of the Swordsmen of Shu Mountain" slowly fell onto the table, and a golden light enveloped the pages.

The Purple Ying Sword is inside!
