Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 173 Foundation Building
The sun rises and the sunlight shines on the earth.

The Yunmengze Demon City is peaceful and no different from a human city.

The turmoil came and went quickly, but now the Demon Saint is recuperating from his injuries and has no time to settle scores for the time being. However, many Demon Kings were nervous and came to the outside of the ruined palace early to wait.

The Qilin Demon King was also there, and he was the most uneasy.

After he returned home last night, he figured it out. He must have been scared by the Demon Saint yesterday. The Demon Saint must have been injured, and that human was definitely not invited. But somehow, the Demon Saint and that human reached a cooperation and killed Lei Ze.

If they had all fought to the death last night, they would have had a chance, but because of their deep fear of the Demon Saint, Lei Ze was killed by a sword again, which shocked the group of demons and caused them to lose the best opportunity.

Although the Demon Saint verbally promised to let bygones be bygones, it was only a temporary measure.

If Lord Demon Saint was truly safe and sound, could he have refrained from settling accounts with them yesterday?

The fox demon was cunning and clever, as expected. Now, he was only worried that the other party would settle the score with him later.

"Bai Long, we have come to seek an audience with the Demon Saint." The tone of the Qilin Demon King when speaking to Bai Long was a bit more polite than before. After all, Bai Long was a direct descendant of the Demon Saint, and judging by his performance yesterday, he would probably hold an even more important position in the Demon Saint's heart.

"Lord Demon Saint is busy and has no time to see you for the time being. Please go back." Bailong responded.

The Qilin Demon King's eyes flickered, it seemed that the Demon Saint was still recovering.

But it's too late to say anything now. Even if they had the courage, they wouldn't dare to do it again. Once it's missed, it's missed.

"Bailong, please tell the Demon Saint that we request him to punish us." said the Qilin Demon King.

"Okay." Bailong nodded, and the Qilin Demon King and others left with trepidation in their hearts.

After the Qilin Demon King and his men left, Li Fan walked out of the ruined palace and stood beside the White Dragon.

"I have ordered people to rebuild the place where you lived before. You can stay there temporarily." Bai Long looked into the distance, as if thinking about something.

"Thank you." Li Fan nodded.

The Demon Saint told them that they could leave at any time, but Li Fan was not in a hurry to leave.

The old blind man needs to recover. A war is breaking out outside Yunmengze. It may not be easy for Mr. Qu to get out of Yunmengze with so many of them.

We can't let Bailong see us off?

Now that the turmoil here has just subsided, it is certainly impossible for Bailong to leave the vicinity of the Demon Saint Palace, and the Demon Saint himself also needs time to recover.

Therefore, Li Fan planned to stay for a while, waiting for the old blind man to recover, and then they would leave Yunmengze.

"What do you think is the difference between humans and monsters?" Bai Long murmured, asking Li Fan, but also as if he was asking himself.

From the time the white dragon left Yunmengze and arrived at Bailu Academy, it can be seen that he does not have much malice towards humans, and he even admires people like Mr. Qu.

In addition, the White Dragon is a supporter of the Demon Saint and is obviously willing to learn from humans.

"Perhaps, there is no difference in essence." Li Fan laughed at himself.

Human, monster.

Just as Junior Brother said, he can slay demons and monsters, but can he slay the demons in the hearts of the people?

Like the experience in Lin'an County, the imperial court, and the Chen family in Chuzhou.

What is the difference between humans and demons?

The demons are brutal, but there are also demons like Bailong Yueqingqiu.

It’s just that humans and demons are in opposition, and they are naturally on different sides.

Their different races meant they were destined to be enemies.

Bai Long looked into the distance and asked, "You want to kill the dragon?"

Li Fan: "..."

Forgot, there is a dragon next to you.

"I hope that one day, you will be my opponent." Bai Long didn't care. Since racial confrontation was destined, he hoped that he would have a decent human opponent in the future.

"I'm looking forward to it too." Li Fan responded with a smile.

If he could fight with Bai Long one day, it would mean that he has become a top-level swordsman.

…………

a few days later.

The Demon City gradually returned to its former peaceful state. The impact of the turmoil gradually dissipated, and the Demon City became lively again.

In the demon city.

Qu Qingfeng and Aunt Mei were walking on the street. Many demons looked at Qu Qingfeng curiously. They all knew that this person was the human being beside the Demon Saint.

However, most demons have no ill intentions and are just curious.

"This demon city is quite peculiar. If the people walking in the city were not demons, I would have thought they were in Yunmeng City." Qu Qingfeng said with a smile, "It seems that the Demon Saint has made some achievements over the past hundreds of years."

"If not for this, how could I have been curious about the human world and sneaked out of Yunmengze back then." Aunt Mei responded with a smile.

"In the demon city, who teaches them human customs and methods of cultivation?" Qu Qingfeng asked.

"There are also masters in the demon city who know more about humans." Aunt Mei said.

"I'll go take a look." Qu Qingfeng was a little curious.

"kindness."

Aunt Mei nodded, and they came to the alleys of the demon city, where they heard the sound of reading.

When he walked outside a house, he saw many young demons studying in the house. A teacher was teaching them. The teacher had a goat's head and a human body, and had a long goat beard. He looked a little old. As if he had noticed something, he looked outside and saw Qu Qingfeng. He bowed slightly and said, "Hello, sir."

"You are polite, sir." Qu Qingfeng returned the greeting.

"It's rare to have a human teacher here. Can I ask you some questions?" The sheep demon said in a gentle voice.

"Of course, we learn from each other." Qu Qingfeng said.

"Please come in, sir." The sheep demon said politely, and Qu Qingfeng stepped in.

As he looked at the scene in front of him, he was thinking that although Bailu Academy taught everyone without discrimination, it seemed that it was still not enough.

Although humans and demons are naturally opposed, if places like Yunmengze can be educated, there is a chance that they can coexist peacefully with humans.

In that way, perhaps Mr. Zuo’s ideal can be realized.

If humans and demons can coexist peacefully and be bound by the law, then both humans and demons will be free from disasters.

Of course Qu Qingfeng also understood that this was just an ideal.

In fact, it is almost impossible.

People's hearts are unpredictable.

Demons are hard to tame.

All he can do is to do his best to educate others.

Perhaps, a White Deer Academy can be established in this demon city to educate the demons?

…………

After a few more days, the majestic Demon Saint Palace once again stood on the top of the Demon City.

In the courtyard where Li Fan lives, Li Fan is practicing.

At this moment, there was a violent thundering sound coming from his body, and thunder was wandering around him, causing Yue Qingqiu who was standing beside him to stare at him curiously.

Is this the way humans practice?

Li Fan has been in this state of practice for a long time.

At this time, the demonic energy in Li Fan's body was raging. The energy contained in the demon pill of the seventh-level great demon was extremely terrifying. At his level, it was a bit of a waste to use such a demon pill, but the demon in his body could absorb it for him.

In this case, it wouldn't be considered a waste.

Moreover, not everyone is suitable for using demon pills for cultivation. The properties must also be compatible. He is just not picky. For example, the old blind man is not suitable. Mr. Qu also cultivates the power of thunder attributes, so he can also use it.

There were bursts of dragon roars coming from the body, and Li Fan even sensed the residual soul of Lei Ze in the demon pill, but it was also swallowed up.

Suddenly, a terrifying dragon roar was heard in the darkness, causing Yue Qingqiu's heart to skip a beat. He then saw a phantom of a dragon appear behind Li Fan, but at this moment the dragon seemed to be transforming and evolving.

The golden flood dragon was evolving into a dragon, bathing in the dual attributes of gold and thunder. An extremely strong sense of oppression permeated, and the dragon soul soared up, hovering above Li Fan's head.

The old blind man appeared not far away at some point, and the dragon martial spirit evolved.

Moreover, the light of thunder shone through Li Fan's body, and his blood became more vigorous. His body seemed to be purified by thunder, crystal clear, as if a real dragon was wandering on his body, like dragon patterns.

"Martial Arts Tiangang." The old blind man said in his heart.

Li Fan's martial arts was the first to break the shackles of realm and enter the realm of Tiangang of martial arts.

Moreover, Li Fan is not an ordinary warrior. He has cultivated powerful magic power and used it to refine his body. His path as a warrior is no worse than that of a qigong practitioner.

What's more, he is a sword cultivator.

Li Fan was still immersed in his practice, as if he had no idea about the breakthrough.

The power of thunder cleanses the soul, and circulates the sword scripture of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Killing Dao.

In the void space, the sword of the Great Dao lies across.

Li Fan's soul shadow sat cross-legged, bathing in the lightning. On the Sword of the Great Dao, countless runes lit up and were branded on Li Fan's soul.

Li Fan's soul seemed to have turned into a sword. The sword was bathed in the light of the stars and cleansed by thunder, forming a certain resonance, as if it was undergoing a catastrophe.

The soul was constantly shaking, and under the cleansing of the power of thunder, the sword was forged in the turbulence.

"Om..."

A beam of light shone down from the Sword of the Avenue and landed on the Sword of Spirit, making it brighter and brighter.

in the courtyard.

An extremely intense sword intent burst out from Li Fan's body. The sword intent was extremely violent, as if it was going to tear his body apart.

The magic power in his body roared more fiercely. The bright starlight from the sky shone down, destroying Li Fan's whole body as if he was bathing in divine light. His bones seemed to be deformed and his spine was straight like a sharp sword.

This made his body emanate sword energy, and his flesh and blood body was like the body of a sword.

A smile appeared on the old blind man's face.

The foundation-building stage, laying the foundation for the great way, is the true beginning of the great way.

The first three realms are the foundation of practice.

Only after building the foundation of the great way can one enter the door of spiritual practice.

Li Fan was about to lay the foundation for the great way and took another step towards becoming a great swordsman.

I don’t know if he can live to see that day.
