Chapter 267 Reflections, One Year
Although he had already guessed, Li Jie still felt a deep sense of disconnect when the words "Western Chu Sword Song" came out of Gu Chen's mouth.
After saying that, Gu Chen ignored Li Jie's strange expression and walked to the front row of bookshelves, taking out an ancient book.
He turned around and handed it to Li Jie.
"This ancient book records the peerless sword, the [Sword Song of Western Chu]."
"I suppose... you don't need me to teach you personally anymore."
Hearing this, Li Jie chuckled and shook his head.
Since Gu Chen is his avatar, he naturally has the same level of comprehension as him.
Even if the cultivation method of the [Western Chu Sword Song] is extremely difficult, it might only take a moment for Li Jie to master it.
"Alright, the first gift has been given out. Without further ado, let's begin the second phase."
As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Li Jie suddenly noticed that the surrounding space began to change wildly.
Before long, they arrived at a peach orchard.
"This is a soul environment I built by gathering the remaining faith power of this world. It is thanks to this disguise that I barely managed to evade the search of the God of Kelvin."
"The peach blossoms you see are all transformed from the world's fundamental essence."
"Because you were forcibly brought to this world by me, you can only absorb the world's essence here, and you cannot take it away."
"Just a heads up, the origin of the world here is slightly different from the primordial liquid of heaven and earth in your gourd, but you'll be able to feel it once you start absorbing it."
After speaking, Gu Chen pointed to the area under the peach tree with the most lush foliage, gesturing for Li Jie to sit down there.
"I won't bother you anymore in the days to come. Once you've absorbed all the world's essence here, I'll send you away."
After speaking, Gu Chen transformed into a wisp of breeze and vanished into the world.
Do you want it all absorbed?
Hearing this, Li Jie gave a wry smile.
He is currently stuck at the peak of the eighth level of the Great Yellow Court. If he can truly absorb all the world's origin here, he will definitely be able to step into the ninth level of the Law of Heaven and Earth.
But the absorption time will probably be measured in years...
With this thought in mind, Li Jie, who had sat down cross-legged, first opened the ancient book that Gu Chen had given him.
Since we're going to stay here for a while, it's not too late to learn this peerless sword technique first, and then absorb the world's essence.
In their spare time, they can also hone their sword intent.
Having made up his mind, Li Jie lowered his head and examined the ancient book in his hand, which was already somewhat yellowed.
Before long, wisps of Daoist energy rose in Li Jie's eyes.
The ancient and obscure Western Chu script instantly invaded his mind, gradually forming an enormous array diagram.
The tiny figures danced gracefully within the array, each move imbued with a subtle charm.
[As you contemplate the unparalleled sword manual bestowed upon you by the Confucian immortal Gu Chen of Western Chu, you discover the supreme power contained within it and enter a state of enlightenment...]
[Enlightenment complete. You have fully grasped the mysteries of the 'Western Chu Sword Song'...]
When Li Jie opened his eyes again, the Daoist aura in them slowly dissipated.
Immediately afterwards, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and with a flick of his finger, he began to absorb the world origin left behind by Gu Chen.
.........
Through the changing seasons, Li Jie has been missing for a whole year.
In recent days, Ye Fan had also inquired about Li Jie's situation from the Celestial Venerable.
But after learning that the latter was not in any danger, he did not investigate his subordinate's whereabouts any further.
Although the Great Xia Dynasty has not been very peaceful recently, Zhou Ping has already mastered his power of laws and officially advanced to the peak realm of the main god, becoming a Red Dust Sword Immortal.
With him around, those foreign gods who are eyeing us with covetous intent will have to think twice.
However, just two days ago, he received news from the Upper Evil Society that Asgard, Sun City, and Olympus were plotting a conspiracy against Great Xia.
The message was being relayed by a commemorative person, so he did not doubt its authenticity.
Therefore, upon learning the news, he immediately summoned all the high-ranking members of the Night's Watch to headquarters to discuss countermeasures.
Incidentally, they also invited Zhou Ping, who had become a sword immortal, and the remaining three human peaks.
"It's not hard to tell from the information brought back by the Shangxie Society that those divine kingdoms are preparing to invade from different directions at the same time."
"Right now, the only top-tier combat force we can utilize is among those of you here. If you have any good strategies, please feel free to share them so we can discuss them together."
"Commander Ye, hasn't the Great Xia God already been born? Can't we ask them to take action?"
“That’s right. Didn’t Erlang Shen go to Asgard a year ago to bring Li Jie back? With the Great Xia God’s help, this crisis can definitely be easily resolved.”
"........."
After Ye Fan finished speaking, the high-ranking members of the Night Watch began to discuss among themselves.
However, his expression did not change at all. After all the sounds stopped, he said something that shocked everyone present.
"Unfortunately, a month ago, under the leadership of the Celestial Venerable, almost all the free Great Xia gods went to the outer realms to investigate the true intentions of the evil god in releasing the mystery. They are not currently within the Great Xia territory. Even if we send a message now, they will not be able to return for a while."
"so......"
"This time, we can only rely on ourselves..."
Upon hearing this, the high-ranking officials who had just been very excited and wanted to urge Ye Fan to get the Great Xia God to take action to resolve this crisis wisely shut their mouths.
"Ye Fan, you make the arrangements."
Seeing that no one answered, Guan, who was wearing a baseball cap, tapped the table and spoke to Ye Fan, who was sitting at the head of the table.
"Alright, let's arrange it like this..."
The meeting lasted a full three hours before all the matters were finalized.
The four most powerful figures in human history each led a team of elite combatants to the four border regions.
As a sword immortal, Zhou Ping bears a heavier burden.
Ye Fan assigned him to the mobile combat force. Whenever one of the four borders was breached, he would be the first to go to that side to plug the gap.
If they all die in battle...
Ye Fan had no other plans, and simply said, "Let's keep each other company on the road to the underworld."
They have prepared for the worst...
Hearing this, Zhou Ping lowered his head in silence, looking at the sword box he was holding in his arms.
A young figure unconsciously appeared in my mind.
Li Jie, why aren't you back yet...?
...........
Just as Da Xia Ma was making preparations to deal with the invasion.
Li Jie, who was in the Peach Blossom Garden illusion, slowly opened his tightly closed eyes.
As he awoke, a pure white light, imbued with the power of heaven and earth, emanated from him.
Immediately afterwards, the pitch-black night covered the sky above the peach orchard, and countless dazzling stars shone brightly, echoing the swaying peach blossoms above the ground.
Li Jie stretched his swollen limbs and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
"it's time......"
