• Li Xian entered a state of enlightenment, sensed the spirit of the void, and glimpsed the Void Dao Body’s path from minor attainment to perfection.

The survivors identified him as a True Inheritor of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, while Li Xian traveled far away to continue digesting his insights into the void Dao body.

After returning to Great Luo Immortal Sect territory, Li Xian chose to cultivate Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi and visited Lijiang City, where he reunited with Zhou Juechen. Helping care for Zhou Juechen’s children as a new baby was born gave Li Xian an epiphany, and his Undying Dao Body reached minor achievement.

He entered the Void Great Dao’s reflected world and made contact with three beings, one of whom said their world had no living cultivators of the path of the void left.
