Tai'an Hall.

Inside the magnificent, extravagantly luxurious hall.

Emperor Tai'an sat at his desk, reviewing memorials with a slight headache.

The vast majority of these memorials were impeachments against the Prince of Qing.

Because the Green King has connections with people from the Outer Heavens, and because so many days have passed without arresting Ye Dingzhi in Tianqi City.

Therefore, many ministers believed that Ye Dingzhi was secretly sent out of Tianqi City by the Qing King.

Some ministers even boldly advised that the King of Qing was related to people from outer space and would surely plot to seize power in the future!

Upon seeing this memorial, Emperor Tai'an narrowed his eyes: "Prince Qing, it's not that I'm not giving you a chance!"

You're far, far inferior to Lao Jiu!

After saying that,

A eunuch approached from outside the Tai'an Palace. Seeing Zhuo Qing's somewhat puzzled expression, he said, "Your Majesty, Zhao Yuzhen from Qingcheng Mountain has descended the mountain!"

"That child that Lü Suzhen took up many years ago?!" Emperor Tai'an frowned.

"Yes!" Zhuo Qing replied respectfully.

"What is Qingcheng Mountain up to now?! Didn't they say Zhao Yuzhen couldn't come down the mountain?!"

"It seems I still have to go to the Imperial Preceptor's place!" Emperor Tai'an immediately got up and hurriedly went to the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

And it was after he left that Zhuo Qing glanced at the memorials and saw the impeachment memorials from all the civil and military officials. His face turned cold and he said, "Prince Qing! You are really useless!"

However, Emperor Tai'an won't live much longer; his health is failing, so you still have some chance!

……

The main hall of Jian Ge.

After watching the sword-making process, Li Jianyi and Zhao Yuzhen arrived at the Guest Pavilion. As the host, Li Jianyi brewed two cups of tea for Zhao Yuzhen and Wang Yihang.

"how?"

Li Jianyi smiled and looked at the two of them.

"Unlike the green tea from Qingcheng Mountain, which is slightly bitter at first sip but sweet in the throat, this tea has a rich, delicate, and refreshing aroma throughout. It is undoubtedly a fine tea!" Zhao Yuzhen said, tasting the tea.

"The tea is called Ancient Fragrance. It grows in a secluded valley near the Sword Heart Tomb. There is a suitable environment in the valley for this kind of tea to grow."

"If Master Zhao and Master Wang like it, I can also send some to the two of you!" Li Jianyi said leisurely after taking a sip of tea.

"Thank you very much, Young Master Li!" Zhao Yuzhen and Wang Yixing said.

"It's just some tea leaves, nothing to worry about." Li Jianyi shook his head, then said, "Master Zhao, Master Wang, would you like to rest? If so, I'll prepare rooms for you."

"Oh, Young Master Li, the sun shines brightly in broad daylight! How can I, the Sea King, possibly sleep? Let's not look for a room first, take me to meet the female disciples of the Sword Heart Tomb!" Wang Yixing was somewhat tempted.

However, Li Jianyi refused, saying, "Master Wang, don't always be greedy for women. Why don't you come with me to Sword Heart Cliff to practice swordsmanship?"

Is this a good way to wash away the filth in one's heart and cleanse oneself?

"Practicing swordsmanship? How can that be more interesting than begging for alms from female benefactors? No way!" Wang Yi shook his head listlessly.

Just when he didn't want to go, Zhao Yuzhen, standing beside him, said with a gleam in her eyes, "Senior brother, if you're not going, why don't you go and rest? I've been studying the Wuliang Sword for four years on Qingcheng Mountain! I want to test my skills against Young Master Li!"

finished,

Zhao Yuzhen quickly grabbed Li Jianyi's arm and walked towards the outside of the Sword Pavilion.

A moment later,

The group then arrived at Sword Heart Cliff.

Upon seeing the intense sword intent emanating from Sword Heart Cliff, Zhao Yuzhen exclaimed in a daze, "If a sword cultivator were to seek enlightenment here, it would surely be of great benefit!"

"Yes, did Master Zhao have some enlightenment just now?" Li Jianyi naturally saw Zhao Yuzhen, who was lost in thought for a moment while observing the Sword Heart Cliff.

"Yes! Young Master Li, let's verify each other's claims!" Zhao Yuzhen looked at Li Jianyi eagerly.

Li Jianyi was also quite excited, because he had recently attained enlightenment on the "other shore" at Qingcheng Mountain! Naturally, he wanted to verify it with others!

With the opportunity right in front of him, Li Jianyi naturally wouldn't refuse!

After both of them expressed their desire to confirm their suspicions, they soon appeared at the top of Sword Heart Cliff.

Xiao Hanyi and Wang Yihang watched from the side.

"Master Zhao, I am the host, and you are the guest, so you may go first!"

Holding the Other Shore Sword, Li Jianyi spoke confidently and calmly.

"good!"

Zhao Yuzhen also drew the Qingxiao Sword from his waist. This was Lu Suzhen's sword, which was passed down to him before he descended Qingcheng Mountain.

"Young Master Li, you'd better be careful!"

Zhao Yuzhen, holding the Qingxiao Sword, a treasure of Qingcheng Mountain, made no unnecessary movements!

Since we've said we'll test the power of the Boundless Sword after four years of arduous training, let's go straight for the Boundless Sword Formation!

"Sword formation activated!"

Zhao Yuzhen held the Azure Sky Sword suspended above her head, her fingers forming a sword shape as she circulated her true energy to control the Azure Sky Sword!

Then, one sword transformed into two! Two swords transformed into three! And finally, into ten thousand swords!

In an instant, countless Azure Sky Swords enveloped the entire sky above Sword Heart Cliff! A suffocating feeling washed over us!

Seeing this, Li Jianyi couldn't help but marvel at Zhao Yuzhen's extraordinary talent! She had actually mastered the Boundless Sword Technique to a state of consummate skill at only fifteen years old!

"Master Zhao truly lives up to his reputation as Sect Leader Lü's successor; his mastery of the Boundless Sword is truly terrifying!"

Seeing countless swords streaking across the sky, aimed directly at him, Li Jianyi felt a chill run down his spine.

He immediately used his true energy to shake off the bandages wrapped around the Other Shore Sword!

It seems that after the sword strike "Other Shore" used by Qingcheng Mountain, the Other Shore Sword itself has undergone some changes!

Just like the moment when the sword of the other shore is truly drawn!

The crimson light shone brightly, and as it was swung, one could see the delicate red spider lily patterns on the sword, emanating scattered small red spider lilies.

Just like the Iron Horse Ice River wielded by Li Hanyi in the future, ice crystals formed from the sword drifted past as she swung it.

The Other Shore Sword, on the other hand, causes small red spider lilies to flutter past when the sword is swung, making it look extremely beautiful and enchanting!

"So...so beautiful! I want my grandpa to forge me a sword like the Other Shore Sword in the future!" Xiao Hanyi, who was watching the battle, widened her dark eyes when she saw the little spider lilies fluttering out of the Other Shore Sword.

Just as Xiao Hanyi was staring at the small spider lilies fluttering from the Other Shore Sword, Li Jianyi sensed the fighting spirit within the Other Shore Sword! Without hesitation, he unleashed "Other Shore!"

This sword technique was created with a vision of the future, like the moonlit night and the blooming flowers!

This sword strike represents the critical point between life and death!

The image of the red spider lily, which can only be seen on the other side of the river, suddenly came to mind!

In just a moment!

The sword intent transformed into countless vibrant red spider lilies! They clashed with the countless boundless swords in the sky!

"go!"

Almost simultaneously, Zhao Yuzhen and Li Jian shouted, and countless Boundless Swords began to clash with the delicate red spider lilies!

Xiao Hanyi and Wang Yixing, who were watching the battle, felt that the countless red spider lilies and the countless Boundless Swords brought them an extremely intense visual impact!

Each red spider lily that clashed with the Boundless Sword unleashed a terrifying surge of true energy! Anyone below the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Realm who touched it would likely be instantly beheaded!

"The spider lily has devoured the Boundless Sword!"

Just as the other shore was facing the Boundless Sword Formation, Xiao Hanyi saw that after the other shore flower in the sky touched the Boundless Sword, the Boundless Sword seemed to evaporate and disappeared without a trace!

"Hmm, Young Master Li's cultivation is slightly better than Junior Brother's, which is why the Boundless Sword seems so powerless. Otherwise, Junior Brother's Boundless Sword could still rival Young Master Li's Other Shore Sword!" Wang Yixing commented, sensing the unstable fluctuations of true energy in the sky.

"It's over! The Boundless Sword is going to be completely devoured by the Spider Lily!"

As soon as Xiao Hanyi said that the Boundless Sword had been eaten by the Other Shore Flower, Zhao Yuzhen's remaining Boundless Sword dissolved into the Other Shore Flower at an even faster speed.

In just a brief moment, the terrifying countless swords above vanished without a trace, leaving only countless spider lilies drifting in the air, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene! It was as if everyone was on the other side of the river!

Zhao Yuzhen felt as if he were in a dream when he witnessed this scene, but he had to admit, "Young Master Li's Other Shore is indeed incredibly powerful! I have lost!"

"Master Zhao, there's no need to say that. There's a difference in our cultivation levels, which is why the Boundless Sword seems so vulnerable. If Master Zhao's cultivation level were to reach the same level as mine in the future, the outcome would be hard to predict!" Li Jianyi put away the Other Shore Sword and said modestly.

"That's true! Then I'll leave it for the future, when my cultivation level has improved, and then I'll have another chance to spar with Young Master Li!" After hearing Li Jianyi's words, Zhao Yuzhen was not disappointed, but instead looked forward to it.
