As the formation on the Purple Heavens Dao-Questioning Platform activated, Gu Qingxian slowly drew the Immortal Sword at her side, which radiated a deep blue glow.
"Li Xian, I will claim the final victory."
She spoke calmly.
Yet her tone was as resolute as though she were stating a fact.
As she spoke...
"Gu Qingxian, you are proud."
Li Xian responded.
He did not use a sword.
Nor did he summon any Xiantian Spirit Treasure. He merely circulated his Liuli Limitless Body, extending the Heavenly Extreme Sword.
"Your pride led you to devote yourself to the void. That path, aided by your pride, truly let you look down on all things and hold nothing in your heart. Your understanding of the Dao of the void is unprecedented. Even the Six Paths Nether Emperor's God-Demon Body, which once shared first place on the ranking with you, willingly conceded defeat to you in this Dao. At the sight of you, he had no choice but to avoid your edge."
Gu Qingxian watched him, listening to his words.
Finally...
"Thank you for the compliment."
"Your pride let you disregard everything and attain your exalted position as an Immortal Emperor today. That same pride lets you turn a deaf ear to everyone around you. No matter how much passion and loyalty they offer you, you take it as your due, trampling it at will, even with a clear conscience."
"I have never forced anyone. It is simply that when you are strong enough, people naturally revolve around you."
Gu Qingxian looked at him calmly. "They come to my door themselves. Why should I turn them away?"
To her, Li Xian returning Lingxu and later giving her the Blood Soul Crystal had been just the same.
She simply had not expected the Blood Soul Crystal
