During the five years, Han Xuanji was not idle. While his cultivation became more and more profound, he also pushed many Divine Ability to the limit of his current cultivation.
And since he had taken on disciples, he naturally wouldn't completely ignore them.
I will occasionally offer some guidance to the other party.
Li Taiqing, as the reincarnation of Sword Immortal, lived up to expectations. His cultivation level improved rapidly, and he also quickly comprehended the many Swordsmanship Divine Ability that he was taught.
Besides this Nine Tribulations Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.
"Control the sword with your mind, wield it with your spirit; the sword formation is not an inanimate object, but a manifestation of your Sword Intent."
Han Xuanji's voice was clear and melodious as she quietly looked at Li Taiqing.
"Yes, Master."
Li Taiqing held his breath and focused his mind, following the instructions to circulate the sword technique. The dozens of spirit swords floating in front of him hummed and trembled, their sword light flickering and pulsating, trying to outline the rudimentary shape of the profound array, but it still seemed sluggish and difficult.
Han Xuanji is teaching Li Taiqing the Nine Tribulations Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.
He had already deduced this Sword Dao Divine Ability to an extremely terrifying level. In addition, the opponent cultivated the Azure Lotus Sword Scripture, so as long as his cultivation level increased, he would have few rivals in the lower realm.
Li Taiqing was also quite excited about Han Xuanji's instruction.
This is guidance from a contemporary Sword Immortal; even just a few words of advice can benefit him immensely.
However, the Nine Tribulations Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation is extremely profound, and even Li Taiqing, with his talent, found it quite difficult to master. Nevertheless, he maintained a good attitude and planned to dedicate some time each day to cultivation, since it was a move that could instantly kill a sword cultivator at the Immortal Ascension Realm.
suddenly.
There was a commotion outside.
"Owner!!!"
A clear and cheerful sound rang out.
With the force of wind and thunder, the Little White Tiger's figure appeared outside the hall in an instant, like a white lightning bolt.
Having just awakened from its slumber and fully digested the immense fortuitous opportunity of the Azure Dragon Immortal Abode, it couldn't wait to find Han Xuanji.
A white shadow, swift as the wind, pounced with pinpoint accuracy at Han Xuanji's feet, its fluffy head nuzzling affectionately against his clothes, its tail wagging gently.
"Master! Master! I 'Void Return Realm, just one step away from breaking through to the Body Integration Realm."
It held its head high, its golden eyes filled with anticipation and a desire for credit.
"Hmm, good progress."
Han Xuanji lowered his eyes, looking at the excited little guy at his feet, a slight smile playing on his lips, his tone calm yet certain.
To have achieved this much in just over thirty years is quite remarkable.
"So, am I going to be of any use?"
The Little White Tiger felt full of confidence.
"Hmm... If someone attacks, you should go up there."
Han Xuanji said calmly.
"Ah..."
The Little White Tiger's entire body stiffened.
It was never arrogant enough to think it could protect Han Xuanji, but it felt it might still be of some use.
"Ahem... Master, you're joking."
Little White immediately admitted defeat.
If he can't even defeat Han Xuanji, he shouldn't go and throw his life away.
Li Taiqing, standing to the side, looked at Little White and couldn't help but tease him:
"Master, this Little White has an extraordinary bloodline. Where did you find this spirit beast?"
Upon hearing this...
The Little White Tiger immediately became displeased, its snow-white fur all fluffed up, and it bared its teeth at Li Taiqing, hissing:
"Kid, look carefully!"
I am a descendant of the White Tiger bloodline, the king of all beasts, do you understand?
If you keep yelling, I'll scratch your face!
It turned to Han Xuanji, pouting, seeking approval. "Master, who is this guy?"
Han Xuanji gently stroked the Little White Tiger's fluffy head with his long, slender fingers and said softly:
"My newly accepted apprentice, Li Taiqing."
Upon learning that the young man before him was actually his master's newly accepted disciple, the Little White Tiger was initially startled. Then, feigning maturity, it sized Li Taiqing up and down, pursed its lips, and snorted:
"Two eyes and a nose, just average, nothing special."
Li Taiqing was amused by its pretentious air and retorted without hesitation:
"Ha, acting like you're any different from other Little White..."
"I'm at the Ninth Layer of Void Return; I'm more useful than you."
"Hehe, Master is already invincible in the mortal realm, what use is a little kitten like you?"
"You?"
The man and the tiger were bickering, having a great time.
This day.
True Person Tianyu came to visit Han Xuanji.
Han Xuanji noticed the worried look on his face; it couldn't be good news.
But he's used to it.
If you manage to notify him, it usually won't be anything good.
The patriarch of a sect usually plays this role.
"Elder Han, a terrible thing has happened! The Demon Race has brazenly invaded the Great Ming Dynasty. Now the Great Ming is devastated, with corpses strewn across the land... Countless cities have been reduced to ashes, and the casualties are incalculable!"
True Person Tianyu's voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.
" The Demon Race has already made it clear that our Great Xia will be next. Moreover, the Demon Race race has told you, Elder, that they can refrain from attacking our Great Xia and the Divine Profound Sect, but Great Xia must show sufficient sincerity."
What should we do?
True Person Tianyu also felt helpless; such a big matter was no longer just about one sect or one person.
The invasion of the Demon Race is no small matter!
Once upon a time, the Demon Race was the overlord of the Nine Provinces Continent, while the Human Race could only barely survive. It took countless years of development to drive the Demon Race to the Southern Ten Thousand Demons Province. The Demon Race often stirred up beast tides, but this time it was clear that the previous unspoken rules had been broken.
" The Demon Race? How many powerful beings are there?"
Han Xuanji frowned, sensing that things were not so simple.
"I don't know, but it's said that there have been dozens of powerful demons undergoing Tribulation Transcendence who have already appeared..."
True Person Tianyu replied.
"Moreover, more than one Transcending Tribulation Bandit Cultivator has already perished in the Great Ming's cultivation Immortal Realm."
"Um?"
Han Xuanji was somewhat shocked.
He had previously learned some information about the Demon Race from the Divine Wind Demon Saint, but the difference between this and what he knew was too great.
Transcending Bandit Cultivator are extremely rare. According to his observation, there are only a few in the Great Xia, and they are all well-established veteran cultivators who live in seclusion in some secret realms, indifferent to worldly affairs, seeking only to ascend to Immortal Ascension.
This force is probably only something that the Earth Immortal sects of Central Province can contend with.
"Is there no powerful figure in Central Province willing to make a move?"
"The six demonic sects of Central Province, in alliance with the Demon Race, have also begun to cause chaos. Many Devil Cultivator cultivation Devil Cultivator have been released, including some at the immortal level. The entire Central Province is now in chaos, but they have assured us that if the Demon Race continues its attack, they will not stand idly by."
The implication is simple: even the Central Province are preoccupied with their own problems.
"It seems there's some unspoken understanding between them..."
Han Xuanji pondered silently.
The Demon Race's sudden attack suggests they were well-prepared.
The Little White Tiger also put away its playful mood, pricked up its ears, and its golden pupils flashed with a sharp light.
"Since the Demon Race dares to launch a large-scale invasion, they must be extremely confident. Even if we back down, we won't end up well."
Han Xuanji said calmly, showing no surprise.
True Person Tianyu also sighed, a sense of powerlessness welling up in his heart.
In this world, strength is the only thing that matters.
If you don't have the strength, you're not even qualified to sit at the negotiating table.
In fact, if it weren't for the presence of the Sword Immortal immortal Han Xuanji, they probably would have given up resistance long ago, and the Demon Race would never have negotiated with them.
"There is one more thing... that is, the Xia Emperor earnestly requests your help, Elder, to save the Great Xia..."
True Person Tianyu spoke cautiously.
Han Xuanji has become the last straw for the Great Xia.
