Douluo Continent: A Fallen Immortal Descends to Earth, Slaying Gods with a Drunken Sword

Chapter 372 Sword Intent Transforms into Lotus, Sword Dao Reaches Divine Realm! A Path to Heaven

A simple "Long time no see."

It melted away the last vestiges of icy stillness in the snow and ice.

"The Immortal Brother!"

Tianmeng transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into Li Zhexian's brow.

"Just come back."

The graceful figure outlined by the wind and snow danced around Li Zhexian, finally turning into crystalline flakes that returned to his body.

Li Zhexian caught the little Yazi that pounced on him, looked up and met the gaze of the Ice Emperor, and nodded to each other in unison.

The two were taken aback at first.

then.

They all laughed.

The group trudged through the swirling snow and entered the Ice Crystal Palace with practiced ease.

After the initial laughter and chatter of the long-awaited reunion subsided.

The smile on Li Zhexian's lips faded slightly.

"Brother Tianmeng, Xue Di..."

He spoke softly.

"My spirit rings and spirit bones have all disappeared."

"Is this the price of reincarnation?"

As far as Li Bai was concerned.

Swordsmanship is the foundation of his path.

However, soul rings and soul bones are also creations of heaven and earth.

If one is lost.

Their combat strength will be greatly reduced.

"It has not disappeared."

Know the sea.

Snow Emperor pondered and said:
"The wonder of the Myriad Mirage Beast lies in the fact that its 100,000-year reincarnation is not a repetition, but an evolution of the essence of life."

"With each reincarnation, one's aptitude and potential will leap forward, and all the soul skills from the previous life will also reappear."

Tianmeng also said excitedly:
"Brother Immortal, you have rediscovered your true self, and you have overcome the most difficult hurdle!"

"You have disintegrated yourself, but those powers... spirit rings and spirit bones, have not disappeared!"

"Instead, it has integrated into your body in a deeper, more fundamental way!"

Li Zhexian remained confused.

It went on to explain:
"in other words."

“Immortal Brother, your soul rings and soul bones are still intact.”

"But they are no longer outwardly apparent and can be easily perceived by you."

"It's like it's become a 'seed' within you, which you need to feel and explore again."

"perhaps……"

"The mysteries hidden within you will be fully awakened."

"Those things that were originally yours will return in an even stronger form."

Li Zhexian listened quietly, his confusion gradually replaced by contemplation.

He looked down at the Azure Lotus Sword, which lay across his lap and had regained its clarity, its blade reflecting the glimmer of light in his eyes.

The power didn't disappear; it simply dissolved into a deeper level.

He gripped the hilt of the sword.

The Azure Lotus Sword hummed softly in response.

A feeling of soul resonance arises spontaneously.

No problem.

Where there is a sword, there is the Way.

He, Li Zhexian, is not afraid of being tempered and refined, but only fears that his sharpness will remain dormant in its sheath.

Beneath a giant tree covered in frost and ice crystals.

Li Zhexian sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

It seemed to blend into the desolation of the far north.

His mind was like that of a fisherman chiseling ice.

Delve into the depths of your mind and explore.

In the starry sky of consciousness.

Nine brilliant sword marks were once etched here.

now.

The six realms return to their original positions:

The Starry Sky Sword Intent is like the Milky Way hanging upside down; the Blazing Frost Sword Intent is like ice and fire in a furnace; the Gentle Breeze Sword Intent erodes things without leaving a trace...

There are still three ways.

Still lingering on the other side of the sea of ​​consciousness.

Li Zhexian, with a pure heart, used his own swordsmanship as a guide to question his true self.

To rediscover that lost mark.

A hundred meters away from the giant ice crystal tree.

Hyotei frowned as he gazed at the quiet boy under the tree.

"Discovering oneself..."

"It's not that easy to do."

Because Xue Di returned to Li Zhe Xian's sea of ​​consciousness, her soul body was reassembled.

She soothed the squirming little Yazi in her arms.

The sound was as light as a snowflake falling to the ground.

"The memory has returned."

"For Li Zhexian, it was like walking the road to heaven again."

“The difference is…” “His understanding of the sword has become more solid after being tempered by the world, shedding its superficiality.”

"He can do it."

Hyotei paused slightly, then couldn't help but glance at Yuki-tei.

With the aloofness of the Snow Emperor.

Even when facing the heavenly tribulation, her confidence in herself never seemed so...unreserved.

"Great minds think alike; Xue Di and I think the same way."

Time flows by quietly.

The aurora borealis illuminated the ice field in a dreamlike and enchanting way.

sieve--

A faint sound rang out.

Under the surprised gazes of Tianmeng, Xue Di, and Bing Di.

The sword intents of stars and frost that originally flowed around Li Zhexian were now replaced by three more extreme meanings.

A crimson light emanated from his body.

The snowflakes were sliced ​​apart by the crimson blade the moment they fell, turning into ice crystal dust invisible to the naked eye.

The killing intent of the sword has been revived.

All the colors around Li Zhexian gradually faded.

The ice and snow lost their luster and became as pale as withered bones.

A power that caused everything to wither spread out, and even the howling cold winds that swept into this area were left with only deathly silence.

The intent of death reappears.

At this moment, a clear, crystalline light flowed over Li Zhexian's entire body.

Snowflakes are falling.

It automatically moved three feet away from the person.

No leaves stick to the body.

Even the domineering killing intent and death intent were purified.

This is the end.

Li Zhexian finally regained his other three sword intents.

Nine sword intents returned, swirling and flowing around him endlessly.

Suddenly.

The nine-colored radiance no longer dispersed, but overlapped and rose up, actually forming a slowly rotating nine-colored sword intent lotus.

Between the opening and closing of lotus petals.

Stars flicker, frost scorches intertwine, and a gentle breeze flows... Ripples of time and space unfold, and numerous strange phenomena are revealed, protecting Li Zhexian within the lotus heart.

Above his head.

That giant tree covered in frost and ice crystals.

At this moment, nourished by the overwhelming sword intent, countless "flowers" formed from sword energy bloomed.

These sword flourishes come in various shapes and forms:
Like twinkling stars, like intertwined frost and fire, like a gentle breeze taking shape... each flower contains a unique essence of swordsmanship.

They bloom silently on the branches.

Transform the entire ice tree into a magnificent tree of sword intent.

Xue Di quietly clenched her slender hand.

The sword intent could actually solidify and give birth to myriad flowers.

This level of swordsmanship is beyond her comprehension.

Hyotei's expression was solemn.

This flower of sword intent appears dazzling.

In reality, each petal was imbued with an unparalleled sharpness that pierced her senses.

She had a premonition that even accepting a single flower would not be easy for her.

"The Way of the Sword Reaches Divinity!"

"This is divine swordsmanship!"

Tianmeng's excited words had barely faded when...

Zheng——!
A sword's cry suddenly rang out.

The nine-colored sword intent azure lotus suddenly contracted, transforming into streaks of dazzling light that struck Li Zhexian's cervical vertebra.

In an instant.

His twelve vertebrae seemed to have transformed into an unparalleled divine sword.

A dazzling sword aura, surpassing all others in sharpness, shot into the sky from the Dazhui point, piercing straight into the clouds.

The twelve vertebrae of the Dazhui point pierce straight into the Lingtai point.

Nine sections are already imbued with abundant sword intent.

Heaven-Piercing Sword Bone...

Come back!

The transformation is not yet over.

The sword energy that pierced through heaven and earth did not dissipate outwards; instead, it rolled back and nourished itself.

The sword bones hummed and trembled.

The deepest vitality was fully unleashed.

The marrow sea boils, and creation is renewed.

A surge of powerful energy erupted forth, transforming into the mighty Yangtze River, flowing through his limbs and bones with a thunderous roar.

Each surge brings a transformative power.

Under the combined onslaught of endless blood and qi and the annihilating sword energy, his flesh and bones shimmered with a warm yet indestructible glazed light, his entire body flawless, as if a banished immortal had descended to earth.

Immaculate glass body...

Come back!

　I'm heading back by car today, so I'll be able to update promptly at 2 PM tomorrow.

　　I've been rushing around for two days in a row, so I'm not feeling well. Sorry, dear readers...
