This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

There is no banquet that lasts forever.

On the Lan Cang River, a gentle breeze flows, the water remains unperturbed.

Although it was an extremely brief journey together, witnessing the unparalleled sight of where Li Qiubai's sword intent reached, and witnessing the techniques of that celestial sword, Lu Qingshan could not help but feel a surge of excitement.

For him, as the younger generation, Li Qiubai, the undisputed leader in Sword Dao, was indeed very considerate.

The influence Li Qiubai brought to him was not limited to "Spring Breeze Returns" and the "Carp Leaping the Dragon Gate" of the second statement, but more in truly making him realize what a Sword Immortal is.

"The momentum of great change." Reflecting on the experiences of this time, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but be a little lost.

It is now the seventh year of Tianyuan.

In the previous life, this period could only be considered the early stage of the game, where players had just ended the Corpse Puppet Chaos and headed to the various prefectures of the Southern Territory for development, and even the Seven Domains Discourse had yet to begin.

In Lu Qingshan's impression, until he came to this world, he never had any memory of Li Qiubai returning the sword to Beicang.

And clearly, Li Qiubai's act as a Sword Immortal will soon become a widely spread story across the Seven Domains.

There is a huge point of contradiction in this.

Was it because the players' range of activities was confined to the Southern Territory at the time, and with their low status and blocked information, they hadn't heard of this news?

Or is it because of his arrival, due to the butterfly effect, led to events that should not have happened or things that should have happened at a later time occurring earlier?

Which situation it is, Lu Qingshan does not know.

In any case, he clearly realized that, by now, memories of the plot from the previous life are only of trivial reference value to him and must not be blindly trusted.

In fact, he had already been keenly aware of this back in Zhenjiang City at the beginning.

Every event happens with a set of rigorous logical loops, like pulling a single hair that moves the whole body.

Unless one does nothing, as long as one influences any link, situation changes and various chain reactions are bound to happen.

Li Qiubai's current journey is to find Qing King, to investigate the emptiness of the three cities and the appearance of the Human Race in the Demon Domain.

This is a millennial malignant tumor among the Human Race, and only by taking strong measures can it be eradicated.

However, events involving existences of this level, Lu Qingshan indeed does not have the ability to participate in.

Only a few people in the world can intervene, and Li Qiubai is one of them.

For the Chang'an Sword Immortal, Lu Qingshan has a kind of inexplicable trust.

Merely based on the Sword Dao realm, and with Eighth Realm cultivation, to exert the combat power of a Sword Immortal, the depth of Li Qiubai's current Sword Dao attainments can be imagined.

Lu Qingshan gazed at the watery moon in the river.

Living a life of smooth sailing, reaching the Sword Immortal Realm which is unattainable to the world, he had not encountered a bottleneck, only to find everything was merely the moon in the water.

Thus he self-severed his Sword Dao, let his skills go to dust, and fell from the Sword Immortal Realm.

Traveling through the mundane world for ten thousand years, his Sword Dao realm ascended once more by nine levels.

In Tai'an City, a leaf broke the armor, at Shui Yuntai, a finger severed the river, borrowing myriad swords for a grand victory over the Martial Emperor in Beicang City.

The Sword Immortal of the Chang'an years can still create unparalleled phenomena in Tianyuan years.

Not a Sword Immortal yet surpasses a Sword Immortal.

If Li Qiubai were to reopen his path and advance to the Ninth Realm, what kind of glorious scene, what splendid spectacle would unfold by then?

Could it possibly touch upon the legendary Ancestral Realm?

Perhaps in the predetermined plot, the future hope of the Human Race is the Chang'an Sword Immortal?

Lu Qingshan murmured to himself.

With such a disparity in strength between the Human and Demon races, in his view, there are only two possibilities for victory.

One is the return of Ancestral Daoist Xia, and the other is another Ancestral Realm cultivator emerging from the Human Race.

...

Qing City.

"Qing King, neither Shui Yuntai nor Beicang City were able to stop, nor even delay Li Qiubai for long," the shadow said in a deep voice.

"He can return to the Sword Immortal realm anytime, only lacking some fate," Qing King squinted his eyes, then shifted his gaze with a solemn expression.

"Li Qiubai, oh Li Qiubai, no matter how highly you regard him, you will always still underestimate his talent and potential," he couldn't help but say.

With his Martial Emperor Realm, a little judgment based on the intelligence information could easily grasp Li Qiubai's current situation.

Self-destroying the Sword Dao is tantamount to denying oneself once.

To try and find a path once more, compared to the first time, the difficulty is beyond comparison.

Yet even under such harsh conditions, Li Qiubai has still accomplished it.

Furthermore, this time his path is immeasurably powerful.

Who can deny the talent and potential of Li Qiubai?

"Qing King, if the Chang'an Sword Immortal truly returns to being a Sword Immortal, isn't there a great possibility that he might ascend to the Ancestral Realm?" the shadow hesitated for a moment and then asked slowly.

Without destruction there can be no construction, destruction then reconstruction.

"Who knows?" Qing King sneered, "Their Sword Cultivators tread an inverse path, in opposition to the Heavenly Dao, each path is painstakingly forged step by step by countless Sword Cultivators.

But as for the Ancestral Realm, no Sword Cultivator has ever reached it, and no one knows whether, by defying the heavens, one can truly touch the Ancestral Realm, or what barriers might be encountered."

Sword Dao is a path of the unknown, filled with infinite possibilities, and likewise, filled with countless uncertainties.

The Ancestral Realm path of the other five factions' cultivators, however, is visible and right in front of them.

The weight and lightness of each are self-evident.

With Qing King's words, the shadow nodded in deep agreement, once again firming up its belief.

"Li Qiubai, once he has figured out the situation, may soon come knocking, is Qing King prepared?" the shadow asked again.

Qing King coldly nodded, "I initially prepared three barriers just for Li Qiubai.
