Two hundred years have passed since the two began refining, and the conceptual aggregate before them has only shrunk by less than one percent.
Refining this concept is indeed not a simple matter.
"They're still playing... aren't they tired?"
Liu Shinian's eyes were lifeless, but his immortal energy continued to circulate as usual.
Being sheltered within these flower buds, while a form of protection, also felt like a disguised form of constraint for the two of them.
If there had been no disturbance outside, it wouldn't have been a problem for the two of them to spend the next 200 years in a meditative state. But with such a large-scale battle raging outside, the two of them couldn't enter a meditative state under such circumstances.
"I'd heard before that battles between immortals could last for thousands of years, and now it seems that this timeframe is indeed true."
Li Xingkong was also a little distracted. The refinement of this concept was too slow, and he wondered if there was any way to speed it up.
"System, show me the situation outside again."
Although the flower bud was very well protected to trap this concept, Li Xingkong had the ability to Traversal through time, so getting out wouldn't be a problem. However, he was genuinely interested in this concept, which is why he was focusing all his attention on refining it here.
He then sent the system outside the flower bud to help check the surrounding situation.
"Okay, I'll be your eyes!"
The system's voice came from outside the flower bud, and then a holographic projection appeared in Li Xingkong's hand.
Observing the outside world through this system was one of the few forms of entertainment for Li Xingkong and Liu Shinian.
The outside of the flower bud has completely changed.
The once lush Blade Flower Sea is now completely devoid of blossoms, and the sword energy that once lingered among them has vanished.
What followed was an even more rampant Sword Qi sweeping in from the battlefield.
The Sword Qi, carried by the wind, drove away everything around it, like a lawnmower cutting down anything that blocked its path.
"These two Sword Immortal seem to be evenly matched."
Only a sword immortal could wield such a Sword Immortal wind.
The reason why they knew that there were two Sword Immortal was naturally because there were two completely different sword intents in this sword wind.
"Brother Xiao Li, how about we make a bet? We'll bet on who wins."
Having nothing better to do, Liu Shinian seems to have found some amusement.
"You'd better hope Fairy Qingjue wins, after all, we're still on the front lines."
Li Xingkong was speechless. Did this thing even need gambling? If you won, everything was fine; if you lost, you had to run away immediately.
"That's true, but don't panic. We won't linger in battle; reaching Flying Cloud Pass will be considered a victory."
"After all, these guys fight for such a long time in one go. If we can't beat them, can't we at least take a beating?"
Liu Shinian, on the contrary, remained calm.
In her view, as long as she ran back to Flying Cloud Pass, she would win. How could she not be able to do something so simple?
"Let's hope so. Let's put in more effort and refine it for him as soon as possible."
"I know, I know, you have absolutely no sense of romance."
And so, amidst the upheavals and upheavals of the outside world, the two spent another 20 years refining themselves within this flower.
However, as time went on, the two realized that something was not good.
The concept of this flower bud has been gradually diminishing over the past 20 years, and now it has dropped to the point where Li Xingkong needs to fill in some of the gaps with his own concepts.
Meanwhile, the aftershocks of the battle outside were growing stronger.
The situation is clearly not looking good.
"I said, how about we leave now?"
Seeing that Li Xingkong had used his Immortal Power to add another layer of protection, Liu Shinian was already considering retreating.
"Judging from this situation, the battle line is closing in on us."
Li Xingkong naturally noticed this situation, but since the people at the front line hadn't made any moves, the two of them couldn't just run away like that.
After all, this is the front line, not some child's playground; the two of them came here on a mission.
Putting aside the fact that the mission was not completed, the thought of fleeing when seeing the weakness at the front is no different from that of a deserter.
"Has Fairy Qingjue really made a mistake?"
Liu Shinian naturally wouldn't flee alone; the talk of retreat was just a joke. She knew better than Li Xingkong what the consequences would be if she ran back.
They'd be imprisoned for at least several thousand years.
While the two were speculating, the battle at the front lines continued in full swing.
Perhaps because the fighting had been going on for so long, in the most intense areas of the battlefield, the human forms of the immortals were no longer visible.
Sword light, Dharma Aspect form, and conceptual incarnation were all mixed together.
If someone were to observe the battle from this location, all they would see are several wisps of mist devouring and merging with each other, locked in a fierce and endless struggle.
" Qingjue, in this state, you'll fall into my hands sooner or later."
A flash of light cleaved the scattered sea of flowers in two, and the flowers regrouped hundreds of meters behind them.
"Hmph, child's play. I can fight you until the end of the era."
Although the blades flashed fiercely, Qingjue's recovery ability was extremely extraordinary; the wounds on his body healed in an instant.
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly dodged and moved to the side.
A dark aura swept past where she had been standing and landed in empty space.
"Be careful, I'm having trouble holding off these two."
The sneak attack was over before the Stone Golem's voice came, and it was arguably the most disheveled character on the field.
He was already fighting two opponents at once, and since his specialty was defense, he wasn't particularly agile. Although the two couldn't do anything to him, he also couldn't completely slow down his opponents.
Whenever they had the chance, the two battle immortals on the opposite side would meddle in the battles of the other two.
The stone golem embodied the concept of " Rock Armor," condensing layer upon layer of armor-like structures around its body, making it impossible for the two opponents to break through its defenses.
Its two opponents, one of whom was a fierce warrior with dark aura, possessed the concept of " Wound Constancy." Those who were hit by his attacks would have their regenerative abilities sealed, preventing their wounds from healing.
The other one possesses the ability to " Position Swap," which is why he was able to hold off the stone golem, allowing the other to launch a sneak attack on the others.
The people invited by the One-Eyed Saber Immortal were not chosen randomly. If these people cooperated, they could definitely have Qingjue their control. Without her recovery ability, her combat power would be significantly reduced.
It was precisely for this reason that, after hundreds of years of fierce fighting, they made tactical adjustments.
The two Sword Immortal fought to the point of bloodlust. This was a battle between swordsmen, and Heart Sword were already bloodshot, could not be commanded. However, he was able to hold off the opposing Sword Immortal, which was considered to have played a role.
The only change is that, instead of two people fighting one stone golem, the focus is now on Qingjue.
The pressure on Qingjue increased dramatically, forcing him to retreat.
Even Li Xingkong and the others who were refining in the rear couldn't be bothered anymore; she had to focus all her efforts on dealing with these two.
