Chapter 533: Sword Master's Hope

The Xuantian Sword Sect used to be glorious at the top of Zhongzhou. Wherever the sword pointed, it was invincible. Its disciples all respected sword cultivation, with superb sword skills and unparalleled killing spirit. However, today, this holy land of sword cultivation has fallen into an unprecedented predicament.

Qing Hong Daojun was a great sword master of his generation. His cultivation was unfathomable and he was the backbone of the sect. Now that his death has been confirmed, the entire sect is shrouded in sadness and anxiety. Another pillar of the sect, the sect master, has not returned for a long time and there is no news. All signs indicate that the sect master is in danger.

In addition, Feng Jianzhu is also an important existence in the sect. The battle with Mingyou Sect a hundred years ago left him seriously injured. Although he has been recuperating for more than a hundred years, his injuries have not healed. His strength has been greatly reduced and he can no longer be as independent as before. This is undoubtedly another major blow to the strength of Xuantian Sword Sect.

Xuantian Sword Sect, which values ​​sword cultivation and acts decisively, has many enemies. Those forces that were defeated by its swords are now ready to move and secretly collude to seize Xuantian Sword Sect's cultivation resources, as the two pillars of the sect are either dead or injured. In addition, the demon clan is pressing in, and many forces in the northern and foreign regions are taking the opportunity to invade. The sect is full of undercurrents and crises.

In addition, the spiritual energy is exhausted, and the end of the law is about to come. The cultivation speed of young disciples in the sect has slowed down, the competition for resources has become more intense, and people's hearts have begun to fluctuate. Disciples who are loyal to the sect will inevitably waver when faced with the pressure and temptation of survival. Even a few disciples choose to leave and find a more stable cultivation environment.

Faced with these difficulties, Li Mu frowned and felt inexplicably heavy.

Xuantian Sword Sect treated him well. If this big tree fell, he would be displaced and face various crises and unknown risks. If it was not necessary, Li Mu would never leave Xuantian Sword Sect. He just wanted to find a stable environment and farm well.

"Elder Yan, the sect is in trouble now. After I return, I will do my best to help the sect out of trouble." Li Mu pondered for a long time and gestured to Yan Yuchun.

Hearing this, Yan Yuchun smiled and a warm current surged in his heart. Li Mu's ability was there. If he was willing to do his best, the sect would be full of hope: "Elder Li, with your words, the sect will have a backbone."

"That's right, Elder Yan's words are true!"

Yan Yuchun's voice had just fallen, and Li Mu was about to open his lips to continue speaking, but a sudden loud voice, as gentle as spring rain but not without majesty, interrupted their conversation.

Following the sound, I saw. Sword Master Feng led the sect leaders such as Qiu Yuanhong, Xiao Shuang, and Ning Cheng, and they were in front of Li Mu in an instant. Their faces were filled with unconcealable joy and expectation.

Li Mu had expected this, and he immediately bowed his hands to greet them, with a bit of sincerity and humility in his voice: "Greetings to the Sword Master and the elders. I am grateful that you all care about my return."

"Hahaha, Elder Li, you are too kind. Your safe return is the greatest blessing for the sect!" Sword Master Feng's laughter was hearty and warm. He strode forward and gently placed his hands on Li Mu's shoulders. The strength in that laugh showed both the care of the elders for the younger generation and the sincere appreciation for Li Mu's return.

The last time he fought with the Nether Sect Master Gao Hong, if it weren't for Li Mu's stepping forward, Sword Master Feng would have died. He has always remembered this favor.

In that battle, Li Mu turned the tide with his own strength, and with his cultivation of the middle stage of the Refining Void, he resisted Gao Hong, who was one realm higher than him, showing his extraordinary swordsmanship and unfathomable strength.

Recalling that thrilling battle, Li Mu, a middle stage of the Refining Void, fought against Gao Hong, who was one realm higher than him. His exquisite swordsmanship and profound strength were breathtaking.

Now, the aura of the late stage of the Void Refining surrounding Li Mu is getting stronger and stronger, and his foundation is as solid as a mountain. He seems to be only one step away from the legendary Fusion Realm. Feng Jianzhu has explored his depth at close range, his eyes are full of satisfaction and expectation, and he secretly praises in his heart: "Sure enough, he has hidden a lot of cultivation. Has he reached the peak of the Void Refining Realm? With such a son in my Xuantian Sword Sect, why should we worry about not prospering!"

Li Mu practiced the ancient skills, the five elements, yin and yang, and walked the road of the Chaos Avenue. Now he is only one step away from advancing to the Fusion Realm. Even if he cannot reach the last step in the future, his combat power is enough to look down on the heroes, sweep the same level, and even fight across levels.

Moreover, his all-round talents are rare. His weapon refining skills have reached the realm of perfection. He can refine the Dao weapons that contain the Dao of heaven and earth, giving them unique spirituality and abilities, allowing them to play an unimaginable role in battle. His attainments in formations are even more amazing. Whether it is defense, attack or trapping the enemy, he can easily arrange exquisite formations and put the enemy into endless difficulties.

As for the way of sword formations, it is Li Mu's forte. Before, although the Xuantian Sword Formation he used was coordinated with Taoist instruments, its power was not something that a fusion strongman could resist.

If Li Mu could enter another realm and achieve fusion, it would definitely be a killer for the sect that is currently in a precarious situation.

Master Feng Jian knows the value of Li Mu. He is not only a cultivator with profound cultivation and unlimited potential, but also a genius with unlimited potential.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Master Feng Jian became more determined to fully cultivate Li Mu, hoping that he could break through the fusion realm as soon as possible and become the top strongman of Xuantian Sword Sect and even the entire cultivation world.

"Elder Li, in order to find you, we have sent countless elite disciples and launched countless searches over the past hundred years, but we have never been able to find any trace of you. Today you have returned safely, which is really a great blessing for the sect!" Qiu Yuanhong's voice trembled slightly with excitement, and his eyes were full of joy for Li Mu's return.

Ning Cheng followed closely behind, his voice also full of uncontrollable excitement: "It's true, we have checked several forces outside the territory several times, but we still can't find any trace of Elder Li..."

"I haven't seen you in more than a hundred years. Elder Li's cultivation has improved a lot! This speed is really amazing!" Elder Xiao Shuang took over the words and looked at Li Mu's beautiful eyes. He was both surprised and a little emotional. typical.

"That's right! It is indeed a great blessing for the sect that Elder Li can return to the sect safely!"

…

The surrounding elders enthusiastically agreed. They either nodded in agreement or showed admiration. The whole scene was enveloped in a warm and warm atmosphere. They seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and enthusiastically surrounded Li Mu. , expressing their inner joy and respect with the most sincere welcome.

Seeing this scene, the disciples of Xuantian Sword Sect watched from a distance, looking at the legendary Elder Li with curiosity and admiration, and they all looked excited.

"Elder Li is not dead, he is back!"

"Great! Now the sect is saved!"

"I didn't expect it! It's great that Elder Li can come back at this time!"

…

Watching Li Mu going to the meeting hall surrounded by Sword Master Feng and all the elders, all the disciples of Xuantian Sword Sect were inexplicably excited, their expressions were uplifted, and there was a little hope in their eyes.

"Senior Brother Chen, who is Elder Li? How could the sword master, Elder Sword, greet him personally?" A younger disciple asked Senior Brother Chen beside him, his eyes full of curiosity and admiration for the unknown.

"Elder Li is a legendary figure in our Xuantian Sword Sect. Junior Brother Lin, you didn't know that you entered the inner sect relatively late." Senior Brother Chen's face was filled with pride as he slowly spoke: "Elder Li is good at refining weapons and setting up formations. He personally refined the Dao swords of several sword elders in the sect. In addition, he arranged the ancient teleportation formations of our sect in other areas and outside the area. I think back then, Elder Li defeated the entire sect in the sword tower. , he insisted on blocking all the disciples of the two sects from entering with his own strength. His deeds have long been a good story in our Xuantian Sword Sect. "

"It turns out it's him. I've heard the name of Elder Li." The young disciple suddenly realized, and there was even more admiration in his eyes.

"More than that!" A female disciple next to him suddenly interjected, with infinite admiration for Li Mu in his eyes, and added: "Elder Li is not only proficient in weapon refining and formation formation, but his strength is also superior. In that battle outside the territory for a hundred years, he He used his ability to refine the void to resist the Netherworld Sect Master and save the sword master’s life! He also disappeared outside the territory for more than a hundred years because of the Netherworld Sect Master’s pursuit.”

"Yes, we attacked Netherworld Sect several times because of this incident!" Another disciple took over, his eyes flashing with determination and indignation, "Netherworld Sect and other sects have always been concerned about Elder Li and tried to Cutting off the roots, now that Elder Li is back, their good days may be coming to an end!"

"Now, Elder Li has returned safely, and his cultivation has reached the peak of Xuantian Refining. It is really a great blessing for our Xuantian Sword Sect!"

…

The disciples of Xuantian Sword Array were talking one after another. They were full of expectations for Li Mu's return and they were all excited.

At this moment, in the meeting hall, candlelight flickered, reflecting the focused and solemn faces. There is an indescribable tension in the air, which includes both heavy reflection on the past years and a warm longing for the future.

Li Mu sat upright next to the main seat, his figure looking particularly calm and profound under the candlelight. His conversation with Sword Master Feng and the elders described his journey in the extraterrestrial star field for more than a hundred years.

As Li Mu gradually deepened, he slowly unfolded his experience of traveling outside the territory, leading everyone through unknown sea areas, exploring the secrets hidden in the darkness and silence, and everyone present listened with interest.

"It is the road that God has never stopped. It is our sect's great fortune that Elder Li was able to escape from such a dangerous place like the Dark Shadow Realm!" Qiu Yuanhong's voice contained a hint of fear and happiness, as if he was witnessing it with his own eyes. After witnessing that thrilling journey, I couldn’t help but sigh.

"Indeed, the Shadow Dark Territory is close to the Nine Nether Deep Territory. If you fall into it, I am afraid that even the strongest members of the Alliance will not be able to escape unscathed." Sword Master Feng took over the words in a deep voice, his eyes filled with joy that Li Mu could return safely.

Speaking of this, Sword Master Feng changed the topic, looked at Li Mu and said with great expectation: "Elder Li, after you return to the sect, you should focus on seclusion and practice, and strive to break through to the unified state as soon as possible. Everyone in the sect will fully support you, no matter what. Whether it is cultivation resources or secret books, as long as you need them, just ask Elder Qiu. If the sect’s contribution is not enough, use mine.”

"If you have any doubts about the Fusion Realm, or if you encounter bottlenecks in your practice, you can discuss it with me in detail. Although I have not reached that supreme realm, my understanding and experience of the Fusion Realm after many years of practice may be able to give you some guidance. ." Sword Master Feng signaled to Li Mu with great expectation.

Hearing this, all the elders present were shocked. Unexpectedly, Sword Master Feng had such high praise and expectations for Li Mu, and they all looked at him with admiration and envy.

At the same time, he was also shocked by the speed of Li Mu's cultivation. If nothing unexpected happened, it would not take long for him to advance to the Void Refining Realm. Did Feng Jianzhu make a mistake? Why did he let him retreat to attack the Fusion Realm?

"Sword Master, Elder Li's domain has not been condensed yet! The current priority is to condense the domain!"

Qiu Yuanhong was afraid that Feng Jianzhu would force Li Mu to fail in the Fusion Realm and damage his foundation, so he hurriedly reminded him.

"Yes! Elder Li is practicing the ancient technique! It is not easy to practice the five elements at the same time, condense the domain, and advance to the Fusion Realm. Elder Li, do you plan to change a technique? With your talent, you can change to a more single-attribute technique, maybe you can move towards the Fusion Realm more smoothly." An elder who is proficient in the technique also made a suggestion.

The difficulty of practicing the five elements at the same time is greater as you go further, and the difficulty of crossing the realm becomes greater. Many people at the scene are not optimistic that Li Mu can successfully attack the next great realm with the five elements method.

Feng Jianzhu looked at Li Mu with a smile in his eyes. If he hadn't discovered Li Mu's 'little secret', perhaps he would have been like all the elders present and not optimistic about his advancement to the fusion realm!

Thinking of the dangerous moment of the battle with Gao Hong and Xin Tiansen, Li Mu stepped forward and helped him in danger with a 'Xuantian Sword Formation', which completely exposed his cultivation. At that time, Feng Jianzhu realized that Li Mu was not simple.

This kid is not only proficient in refining equipment, array formation, and sword formation, but also extremely good at hiding his cultivation. The Qixuan Sect also had seven incarnations of the gods before, which he prepared in advance for refining the law domain. If not, he would have condensed the law domain long ago after being lost in the shadow dark domain for more than a hundred years.

Facing Feng Jianzhu's half-smiley eyes, Li Mu's scalp was slightly numb, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, but he also understood how well Feng Jianzhu knew him.

So, Li Mu coughed lightly and said seriously: "Sword Master has a keen eye. I do have some plans and preparations, but the path of practicing the five elements is my choice after careful consideration. I don't want to give up easily. I am also quietly preparing for the condensation of the law domain. I will go all out when the time is right. Next, I will be in seclusion in Qixuan Sect for a period of time."

"It should be so!" Sword Master Feng nodded with a smile, and then looked at Qiu Yuanhong. The elders said: "Remember, don't disturb Elder Li during this period. Let him refine the weapon and set up the formation for you."

"Yes, Sword Master." Qiu Yuanhong and the elders agreed in unison, and their admiration for Li Mu increased a little more. (End of this chapter)
