Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 309 Looking for trouble
After the Demon Slaying Conference, all the cultivators who participated in the Demon Slaying Conference stayed in the Western Emperor Palace to practice. They could enter the Western Emperor Palace's Scripture Pavilion to read some of the practice books and techniques.

For a moment, the Western Emperor's Palace was quite lively.

When all the cultivators gathered, they naturally had to exchange ideas and learn from each other. During this process, the sword cultivators from Xihuang Island performed extremely well, overwhelming all the other cultivators. Although there were many cultivators in the West Emperor Palace, they were obviously inferior to the sword cultivators from Xihuang Island in terms of "quality".

The sword cultivators of Xihuang Island seemed to have deliberately restored the reputation of Xihuang Island in this way. After all, at the Demon Slaying Conference, Xihuang Island lost face because of Li Fan's existence.

Although Li Fan was also practicing in the Western Emperor Palace, he was very quiet. He never went out of the door, and practiced in seclusion, waiting for the Western Emperor Palace to take action.

Lu Yuan, Yue Qingqiu and the others were naturally the same. They never left Li Fan's side and practiced quietly.

Especially Lu Yuan. After learning about the details of what happened that year, Li Fan could see that she had more worries, but she practiced even harder, wanting to reach the Nascent Soul realm as soon as possible.

Li Fan has been in the Dan Condensation stage for some time, but she has yet to reach the Dan Condensation threshold. If this continues, the gap will only get bigger and bigger. Her combat power cannot keep up, but at least her realm cannot be left too far behind.

She hasn't even entered the Ningdan stage yet, so when will she be able to find out the truth about her parents' death?

When her father passed away, he was at the peak of the sixth realm.

In the courtyard, Li Fan was practicing with his eyes closed, with sword intent surrounding his body. In his sea of ​​consciousness, a sword of the Great Dao was clanging, and countless sword lights were pouring into it.

This sword sometimes exhales wind and thunder, sometimes blooms with starlight, and sometimes is as brilliant as gold, as if it contains multiple forms. On the sword body, the light of runes shines, as if it is about to leap from the sword into the air. Each character is like a sword.

"My sword seed is becoming stronger and stronger through tempering. Now, when the sword seed comes out, it can instantly kill people of the same realm." Li Fan said in his heart. The sword seed is the natal sword of the sword cultivator and it grows with the sword cultivator.

Li Fan opened his eyes and stopped practicing. He heard a muffled groan from not far away. Li Fan looked over there and saw it was Lu Yuan.

"What's wrong?" Li Fan asked.

Lu Yuan looked back at Li Fan, her eyes slightly dim, as if she was extremely disappointed in herself.

When Li Fan saw Lu Yuan's eyes, he understood that she was trying to reach the Dan Condensation Realm, but she couldn't break through.

"Lu Yuan, more haste, less speed." Li Fan said: "Sword cultivators practice, and cultivate swordsmanship with a clear mind. No matter what is on your mind, don't disturb your state of mind. You need to use you as your motivation, the motivation to move forward."

Lu Yuan nodded slightly. The more anxious she was, the more mistakes she would make.

She did become a little impatient and unstable.

"When I was in the Sword Valley of Lishan, my master once told me what sword cultivation is. One must have his own sword path and stick to his own state of mind. No matter what you want to do, don't disturb your sword. You must be fearless and use your sword to cut through everything, cut through the inner demons, cut through distracting thoughts, cut through what you fear, and cut through what you are afraid of."

"Lu Yuan, you are the chief swordsman of Lishan and once the most outstanding swordsman in Lishan. Your sword should roam between heaven and earth. Don't forget your original intention." Li Fan advised.

He had talked to Lu Yuan before and asked her to get over the defeat at the top of the mountain. Perhaps because she was with him, Lu Yuan no longer had that confidence.

But now, knowing the details of her life experience, she felt anxious and powerless, which affected her state of mind. If she couldn't get out of it, all this would hinder her swordsmanship.

"Don't resist whatever you think. Integrate it all into your swordsmanship and cut off everything. Lu Yuan, you can do it." Li Fan continued.

Lu Yuan looked at Li Fan, and her beautiful eyes like the bright moon suddenly bloomed with a bright smile, so brilliant.

"Li Fan, I envy you." Lu Yuan smiled brightly.

"Are you jealous of me?" Li Fan pointed at himself and asked puzzledly.

"Yes." Lu Yuan nodded: "At that time, the people of Lishan were prejudiced against you. They looked down on you, but it was also because they envied you. They envied that you had Senior Sister Ye and Senior Brother Wen to take care of you. Even though you had not yet shined, they were already dazzling. Just like you said, they all had absolute confidence. They believed they could do everything. They dared to do anything, even draw their swords to Lishan for you."

"Maybe because of this, you are like them now, that's great." Lu Yuan smiled brightly, she really envied Li Fan.

"Yes, Senior Sister and Senior Brother, they both have absolute confidence. They dare to do anything and believe that they can do it." Li Fan said with a smile: "But Lu Yuan, do you remember what they have been through? I don't need to say much about my experience when I was young. You know it all. Senior Sister was the most distinguished princess of Dali, but she lost everything overnight and went to Mount Li. Junior Brother's father was the sword master of Mount Li, but his father died in the demon rebellion, and his personality became paranoid. It is because of this paranoia that he is Junior Brother."

"We have all had similar experiences to what you have experienced. Senior sisters and brothers have integrated their beliefs into their own paths and moved forward courageously. That is why they have become what you have seen. Lu Yuan, can't you do the same?"

When Lu Yuan heard Li Fan's words, she was stunned for a moment, and her heart was shocked, as if she had suddenly been enlightened.

Yes, no one’s life is smooth sailing. The inner demons that she had experienced were also experienced by Ye Qinghuang and Wen Ruyu.

Li Fan has also experienced this.

But they are still bright, and their swords are moving forward.

"Thank you." Lu Yuan smiled brightly, and the haze seemed to disappear into thin air.

"Lu Yuan, no one can help you, only your own sword." Li Fan responded with a smile.

"Yes." Lu Yuan nodded seriously.

"You practice first, I'll go out for a walk." Li Fan said as he stood up and walked out. When he arrived in front of the White Jade Palace, Yue Qingqiu looked at him and asked, "What were you talking about with her just now?"

"Don't understand?" Li Fan said with a smile.

"Yes." Yue Qingqiu nodded. She has been trying hard to learn everything about the human world.

"Humans will encounter inner demons when practicing. Lu Yuan has encountered her own inner demon now. She needs to overcome it before she can move forward." Li Fan looked at Yue Qingqiu and asked, "Won't you encounter bottlenecks in your practice?"

"When we practice, it's more about talent, as if it's innate, which determines what level you can reach in practice." Yue Qingqiu said.

"Yeah." Li Fan understood that talent is extremely important in cultivation, whether it is humans or demons, and demons rely more on talent than humans.

Humans also have diligence, opportunities for magical weapons, understanding, and so on, but what kind of monster a demon is is determined by its birth.

At this time, a figure came quickly towards this side. It was Sun Zhao.

"Qingshan." Sun Zhao shouted. Although he knew Li Fan's real name, he still called Li Fan his pseudonym when he was outside.

"What's going on?" Li Fan frowned when he saw Sun Zhao's condition. He saw that Sun Zhao was injured at this time.

These days, he has asked everyone not to leave him to avoid retaliation, but there should be no danger in the Western Emperor Palace.

But at this moment in the Western Emperor's Palace, Sun Zhao was actually injured!
"We had a conflict with the people from Xihuang Island. The people from Xihuang Island deliberately made trouble for us and injured several of us. Now, the two of them are still left behind." Sun Zhao said.

Li Fan's expression suddenly changed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Xihuang Island had lost all its face at the Demon Slaying Conference before, but it was not a good idea to continue to embarrass him.

Now, after so much time has passed, Xihuang Island is actually causing trouble for them in the Xidi Palace.

"Walk."

Li Fan jumped up, sword energy whistled in the air, and the flying sword fell at his feet. Li Fan stepped on the sword and walked, and Sun Zhao followed behind him.
