I am a mage and a wet nurse, so using seven swords is not too much, right?

"Sword Qi Canyon? What are you doing there?"

Inside the light mirror, it was still pitch black.

This is also the only bug in the Transmission Talisman at present.

Even in black, a cultivator's divine sense can still perceive things.

But once the light mirror went dark, even divine sense couldn't penetrate it.

After all, even the so-called light mirror is just something projected by the sound transmission talisman.

Divine senses are useless, and the naked eye cannot see clearly.

But Mu Yiqiu's voice was exceptionally clear.

"Also?" Ning Ruan asked, "You've been here before? It seems we didn't come to the wrong place; you should be not far from here."

"It's not far." Mu Yiqiu hesitated, but still raised her voice and asked, "Do you want to go down?"

"Ning Ruan, listen to me, whatever you do, don't go down there. There's nothing good down there, and it's dangerous."

"You went down there?" Ning Ruan asked.

As soon as these words came out.

Even Li Mu turned his gaze over, and his deep voice suddenly rang out: "Is what's below related to the sword cultivator who carved out this canyon back then?"

"...Is that General Li?" Mu Yiqiu's tone softened a bit. "So Ning Ruan is with you."

She said, "Even if it is General Li, I would not recommend that you go down."

"You might not believe it, but this... might have something to do with immortals. Anyway, the situation is a bit complicated."

"My physical body never actually went down; only my soul went down."

"Was it... never mind, I'll come find you. Don't go down there on your own yet."

The light mirror disappeared.

The talisman returned to peace.

Ning Ruan asked Li Mu, "Should we wait for her?"

...We weren't included; Li Mu never even considered taking Ning Ruan down with him.

With the situation below unclear, why would he take her on such a risk?

He was planning to go down alone.

But for now, "let's wait and see."

Although he was not afraid of death, he was not so reckless as to not even wait this little bit of time.

Mu Yiqiu arrived very quickly.

When she arrived on her sword, Ning Ruan was sitting above the canyon, eating sunflower seeds.

He showed no sign of anxiety whatsoever.

This was completely different from the scene Mu Yiqiu had imagined Ning Ruan would eagerly jump into the canyon.

But she still breathed a sigh of relief.

"General Li, how come you're with Ning Ruan?"

Mu Yiqiu jumped off the flying sword and quickly shifted her gaze to Li Mu.

As fellow sword cultivators, Li Mu was powerful and not ordained by fate, making him one of the few people she admired.

Li Mu nodded slightly. "We came in together."

"Come in together?" Mu Yiqiu was taken aback at first, then realized what was happening and looked at Ning Ruan with a suspicious gaze. "You've already gone out?"

Ning Ruan said, "Yes, he went out, killed someone, and then came back in."

Mu Yiqiu: "..."

Ning Ruan added, "I also picked up a celestial artifact. By the way, I think I might have encountered the immortals you mentioned before."

Even the immortals have a pretty tough time.

Her second father destroyed a wisp of her true soul with a single sword strike.

Ning Ruan had actually considered that her fathers, given their combat power, might very well be immortals themselves.

But after what happened last time, she felt that perhaps she had underestimated them.

Even if they are immortals, they should be among the top-tier immortals in terms of combat strength.

Mu Yiqiu: "..."

Forget it.

She shouldn't have worried about it.

Pointing downwards with a look of utter despair, he said, "I escaped here for my life. I was on the verge of death, and my mind was probably unstable before I was..."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "The sword cultivators who were cleaved out of this canyon were guided down below."

"However, he is already dead, with only a wisp of his soul remaining, trapped in the canyon to this day."

"His remnant soul still has consciousness?" Li Mu stared at the bottom of the canyon, his dark eyes flickering slightly.

Mu Yiqiu's cultivation level was not high, but he knew that since the extinction of the Cursed Crow Clan, theoretically, the remnant souls should not have survived for so long.

Especially for a remnant soul that still retains its own consciousness, this is even more impossible.

She nodded. "He was conscious, but he's gone now. After he taught me swordsmanship, he disappeared completely."

Ning Ruan: "..."

No wonder she felt this guy had gotten stronger.

It turns out they encountered an old man delivering a charm.

Ning Ruan looked Mu Yiqiu up and down, but couldn't see anything wrong with her.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Mu Yiqiu glared at her, following her gaze.

Ning Ruan said calmly, "You seemed so embarrassed before, I felt something was off."

"..."

Mu Yiqiu bristled instantly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "You're the one who's hiding something! What's wrong with me? I'm not ashamed to face anyone! You're just making baseless assumptions!"

Ning Ruan said calmly, "You're getting impatient."

I wasn't entirely sure at first.

But now she's 80-90% sure that something's definitely wrong with this guy.

Swordsmanship should be fine.

They have indeed become stronger.

But they dare not see anyone, so what price must they pay to become stronger?

Mu Yiqiu was still injured.

But the injury wasn't very serious.

Therefore, this cost doesn't seem like it would worsen the injury.

Moreover, if the injury worsens, there's no need to hide it from others.

"Don't overthink it, I'm really fine." Mu Yiqiu said firmly. "I'm doing very well now, and the sword technique that the swordsman senior from the Cursed Crow Clan passed on to me is also very useful."

"But after he taught me the sword technique, he sent me out and then disappeared completely."

At this point, Mu Yiqiu let out a long sigh.

“Ning Ruan, General Li, the reason we don’t let you go down is not only because of the sword energy in the canyon, but also because there are still the remains of immortals hidden below.”

After she finished speaking, she paused again, "Or rather, they weren't immortals either."

She looked at Ning Ruan and said, "Since you have seen so-called immortals, you should know that a part of an immortal's true soul can be separated and attached to their body."

"So that human ice-type spirit master could freeze the entire world, and at that time he possessed more than one immortal."

"One of them encountered that senior swordsman from the Cursed Raven Clan."

"He... severed the opponent's arm with a single sword strike. Although it wasn't a true immortal's body, it truly possessed an immortal's soul."

"With that sword strike, coupled with the curse power unique to the Cursed Raven Clan, a wisp of true soul was actually sealed in that arm."

Mu Yiqiu's tone was not calm.

She has always admired strength.

Of course, I also really look forward to that sword strike.

Even if the final result wasn't good, the sheer brilliance of that one sword strike was enough for her to yearn for it.

Li Chuan was initially completely confused.

Especially since it also involved some kind of immortal.

They all claimed to have seen immortals.

I've seen it before, but this is murdering an immortal!

How could an immortal be harmed by a mortal?

He stammered, his voice filled with disbelief, "This... fellow Daoist, are you saying that there's an immortal's arm at the bottom of this canyon?"

Mu Yiqiu corrected him: "To be precise, it's just that there's still a wisp of an immortal's true soul in that arm, which makes it a little special."

The true soul of an immortal is indeed difficult to kill.

It has not been extinguished to this day.

On the contrary, that senior sword cultivator, who had been holding on until now, could no longer continue.

Li Mu stood at the edge of the canyon.

Feel the rich sword energy inside.

I hadn't noticed anything before, but now I've really started to see some problems.

He said, "The intensity of the sword energy is increasing, and it won't be long before it becomes uncontrollable."

"What will happen if... what if we can't suppress it?" Li Chuan probably realized something, and his face turned as pale as paper.

Mu Yiqiu's expression was solemn as he looked down at the canyon where sword energy surged. He said in a deep voice, "With the disappearance of the senior's remnant soul, the sword energy can no longer be suppressed. At that time, the sword energy below the canyon will completely erupt, and then..."

She paused, then said seriously, "The entire Lesser Remnant Realm will probably be torn to pieces and annihilated in the void in an instant, so the most urgent thing is for us to leave first."
