Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 341: West Sea Event
Above Jiuying Island, the thunderclouds dissipated, the sky was no longer overcast, and the sky was clear blue.

And below, the entire island was collapsing and sinking, as if it was about to sink into the sea.

When Yue Qingqiu and his companions arrived at Jiuying Island, the sword intent seemed to still exist between heaven and earth. From Jiuying Island upwards, the sword marks that pierced the sky were still there.

"What about people?"

The group of people leaped downwards and then drilled into the ground along the crack. When they got close to the ground, they felt a horrifying evil spirit that was madly devouring everything around it, forming a huge vortex.

"That is..." Luo Qingyan stared at the center of the vortex, where Li Fan's body lay quietly.

"Don't disturb him."

Yue Qingqiu stopped Luo Qingyan and the others from going forward. She knew that there was something wrong with Li Fan's body. He should be sleeping at this moment and his body was repairing itself.

"Let's go upstairs and wait." Huang Xiong also knew that Li Fan could devour the power of demons.

"Okay." Luo Qingyan nodded.

The Resurrection Tree seemed to be torn into pieces, but the breath of the Resurrection Tree still remained. What Li Fan was absorbing was the remaining power of the Resurrection Tree?
What exactly was that sword intent just now?

A group of people sat on the ruins and waited quietly, guarding above Li Fan.

More than ten days later, Li Fan woke up from his deep sleep. He found that his body had been restored to its original state and his cultivation showed signs of breakthrough. Whether it was Qi Refining or Martial Arts, he had reached the peak of the middle level of Dan Condensation and the peak of the middle level of Golden Body.

He is only one step away from breaking through to the late stage of Nascent Soul and the late stage of Golden Body.

Li Fan's mind moved, and suddenly an ancient tree appeared behind him. When his magic power surged, the ancient tree swayed, and vines swept out.

"Acquired Dharma Image?"

Li Fan looked strange, which was strange.

He flashed and arrived at Jiuying Island, where he saw many figures waiting for him.

"Senior Brother." Li Fan saw Ji Hua and his junior brother Wen Ruyu were also there.

"Junior brother, don't take such risks in the future." Wen Ruyu stared at Li Fan with a stern tone.

"I understand, junior brother." Li Fan smiled and nodded. Junior brother was like a real brother to him.

He stretched out his hand, and saw a dazzling "demon pill" floating on his palm. This demon pill was extremely strange, and it was in the shape of a tree, just like a sapling. This was the essence of the Resurrection Tree.

"Brother, please return to the mountain as soon as possible and give it to the old blind man." Li Fan stretched out his hand. The sapling was very warm like jade. Wen Ruyu took it with a solemn expression.

Finally found.

This time, the old blind man’s soul that was injured that year should be able to recover, right?

"Aren't you going back to Lishan?" Wen Ruyu asked.

"No, since I'm out there gaining experience, I won't go back. I will leave the West Sea after a while." Li Fan said.

"Okay, then let's go back first." Wen Ruyu said.

"Go ahead." Li Fan looked relaxed. He hadn't been so happy for a long time.

"Yes." Ji Hua and Wen Ruyu turned into swords and went back together. This matter was of great importance, and they needed to get back to Lishan as quickly as possible.

Looking at the two people disappearing, Li Fan smiled brightly.

"It's time for us to leave." Li Fan was in a very good mood.

Everyone nodded, and the group boarded the flying boat, leaving Jiuying Island again and heading towards the vast ocean.

…………

Moon Palace.

After a long time, Li Fan came here again. Now the Moon Palace has recovered some vitality.

The Sun and Moon Palaces have merged, but the Moon Palace is still intact. The two sides exchange resources and each selects suitable people to practice on the other's island.

When Li Fan arrived at the Moon Palace, Lu Wangji personally greeted him. Now he is the grand elder of the Sun and Moon Palace and is responsible for all matters in the Moon Palace.

"Xiao Fan, Yuan'er has been waiting for you for a long time. All preparations for the wedding have been made. Seven days from now will be an auspicious day. What do you think?" Lu Wangji walked forward and took Li Fan's arm and said affectionately. Despite his age, he did not seem to be very serious.

Li Fan didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about." A figure walked towards the front. Li Fan looked at Lu Yuan. After not seeing her for a long time, Lu Yuan's temperament had changed a bit. Her eyebrows were as dark as distant mountains, and her eyes were as clear as autumn water. The young swordsman who once stood tall and graceful on the mountain was now like a beautiful painting.

"I've changed a lot." Li Fan smiled gently. "You've changed too." Lu Yuan smiled and responded. She returned to the Moon Palace, where she was born, and inherited the Moon Palace. Like Li Fan on Jiuying Island, she also completed a transformation.

"Look at you two, can't you be more direct? When are you going to get married?" Lu Wangji said from the side.

Li Fan: "..."

Lu Yuan: “…”

The two of them looked a little awkward. Lu Yuan avoided Li Fan's gaze and glared at Lu Wangji and said, "Grandpa, I told you, don't talk nonsense anymore."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You came out a long time ago. Who else are you waiting for in the Moon Palace if not this kid? The old man is not blind." Lu Wangji replied. The little girl was shy, so he did the talking.

"Ignore him." Lu Yuan said helplessly to Li Fan.

"It's true that girls can't be kept when they grow up, and a grandfather is not as good as a lover." Lu Wangji shook his head and sighed.

"You old ghost, let Yuan'er handle her own affairs, don't interfere." Yu Dingzhou walked over and said.

"You're here to pretend to be a good guy?" Lu Wangji glared at him and said, "Okay, I won't say anything more. You two can chat. I won't be in the way anymore."

After saying this, Lu Wangji left.

Li Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head. Yue Qingqiu walked forward, but saw that the people around her did not move. She looked strange and asked, "Are we leaving too?"

Li Fan turned around and looked at Yue Qingqiu speechlessly. Has he also been led astray?
"No need." Li Fan said helplessly.

"How have you been in the Moon Palace these days?" Li Fan looked at Lu Yuan and asked.

"Very good. What about you? What took you so long?" Lu Yuan asked curiously. She had actually been out of seclusion for some time, but Li Fan had not come.

"I am practicing in seclusion on Jiuying Island, and I have good news to tell you." Li Fan smiled and said in a voice transmission, "There is a resurrection tree under Jiuying Island. I have asked my senior brother to take it away from the mountain."

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Fan with her beautiful eyes, a smile blooming in her eyes.

Naturally, she knew the relationship between Li Fan and the old blind man best. Among all the branches in Lishan, the relationship between the old blind man and his disciples should be the deepest, just like that between father and son.

"I can finally rest assured." Lu Yuan chuckled.

"Yes." Li Fan nodded: "What are your plans next? Will you continue to practice in the Moon Palace?"

Lu Yuan shook her head: "I have been practicing for some time."

"Well, it's been some time since we traveled to the West Sea, so let's go back to the inland together." Li Fan said. Lu Yuan nodded slightly. She was waiting for Li Fan in the Moon Palace, so naturally they wanted to go together.

The Moon Palace prepared a banquet.

During the banquet, Lu Wangji and Yu Dingzhou sat at the top seats, with Li Fan and Lu Yuan beside them.

"In recent days, the West Sea has never stopped its operations to eliminate monsters. Now the disaster of monsters in the West Sea has come to an end, and it will not happen again in the short term." Lu Wangji said.

"This demon disaster was originally instigated by the imperial court. If the imperial court was not behind it, Lu Xiao would not have betrayed. I suspect that Lu Xiao has been in collusion with the imperial court a long time ago." Li Fan said.

"Yes." Lu Wangji nodded. "During this period, I have also investigated the events from more than ten years ago. There was something strange about Yuan'er's parents. I heard a piece of news from the people of Lu Yuan's lineage. I am afraid that the demon chaos many years ago had the shadow of the court."

“Back then…” There was a chill in Li Fan’s eyes. All the pain he experienced in his youth was caused by what happened back then. Not only that, Li Shan’s disaster also started from that demon rebellion.

There are also senior sisters and brothers... everyone around them was affected by what happened back then.

"I also know about the affairs of Lishan and the imperial court. Now that the Sun and Moon Palaces are one, the forces of the West Sea are almost unified. It's just that it's still difficult to compete with the imperial court. But if there are changes in the world in the future, the forces of the West Sea may be able to help." Lu Wangji said.

Li Fan said solemnly, "Thank you, old man."

The prerequisite for changes in the world is that Li Shan must be able to confront the top figures in the imperial court head-on. Otherwise, with the imperial court's accumulation of thousands of years, it would be a dead end to confront the imperial court head-on.

"When do you plan to leave?" Lu Wangji asked.

"Let's set off today." Li Fan responded.

"Something big is happening in the West Sea right now. Before you leave, consider whether you want to go there." Lu Wangji said.

"What's the matter?" Li Fan asked.

"The tenth person on the Sword Saint List has brought his disciples to Xihuang Island to ask about sword skills. Xihuang Island should be very lively now. All the cultivators from various islands have gone there, especially the sword cultivators. They have all gone to watch the ceremony and ask about sword skills." Lu Yuan on the opposite side took over Lu Wangji's words.

"There hasn't been such a grand event in the West Sea for many years. The previous Demon Slaying Conference was for slaying demons, so it was an exception." Lu Wangji said with a smile: "You are a sword cultivator, would you like to go and join in the fun?"

"You can go." Li Fan nodded. The former owner of Xihuang Island had personally invited him to the island for a chat. It was a good opportunity for him to take a trip there before leaving the West Sea.
