Mysterious mirror hanging high

Guan Lingxiao is now two hundred and thirty years old. His destiny [Sword Qi Soaring to the Sky] can ignore the bottlenecks of small realms. The threshold of becoming a Great True Lord that has blocked countless geniuses and heroes does not exist for him at all.

Tempering one's cultivation and nurturing the Nascent Soul... is a tedious and time-consuming process. From the early stage of the Nascent Soul to the perfection of the late stage of the Nascent Soul, if there are no bottlenecks, three hundred years will be enough for Guan Lingxiao with his aptitude and foundation.

As for getting started with the laws, as long as one reaches the late Nascent Soul stage, accumulating cultivation and comprehending the laws can go hand in hand. It is not difficult to get started with the [Five Elements Law], and the [Sword Law] is even within Guan Lingxiao's grasp. Only the [Yin and Yang] and [Space] laws are a bit difficult, but it is estimated that they will only take one or two hundred years.

From this point of view, it may be unlikely for Guan Lingxiao to become a god at the age of 500, but it should be a sure thing for him to become a god at the age of 600 or 700!

As for Jing Yu, not to mention his Qi training, even if he wanted to practice the most certain body training, it would take at least a thousand years to reach the realm of spiritual transformation.

Jing Yu burst out laughing. It seemed that he, the master, would soon be protected by his disciple.

"Ling Xiao, what are your plans now that you've returned to the human world?"

Guan Lingxiao pondered for a moment and said, "I plan to travel for a while... This [Taixu Sword Scripture] is not a static practice. One must constantly wander in the vastness of the void and comprehend its power before one can achieve rapid progress."

"Besides, my swordsmanship needs to be honed by opponents, so it's not advisable to work in isolation."

Seeing Jing Yu remained silent, Guan Lingxiao assumed his master was worried about his safety, so he said, "Master, don't worry. With the help of the [Taixu Sword Sutra], my speed in escaping the abyss far surpasses that of cultivators of the same level. Furthermore, I learned many life-saving techniques from the [Xuanyuan Yuhuatian], which are more than enough to help me escape from the hands of a Divine Transformation cultivator."

Jing Yu said slowly: "Over at Penglai Fairyland..."

Guan Lingxiao simply said, "Master, don't worry. I won't get involved in the battle between good and evil in Penglai Immortal Continent. I will naturally avoid this area and let them fight..."

"No." Jing Yu shook his head. "I want you to join the battle as the [Jian Ge Orphan] and help the Penglai righteous path defend the Xianzhou territory."

Guan Lingxiao was startled when he heard this, but he understood immediately: "Master, what you mean is..."

"[Jian Ge] was originally the top power in Penglai's righteous path. Although it has been destroyed, its banner still exists. If you use the banner of Jian Ge to lend a helping hand to Penglai's righteous path, you can at least have a say in the future ownership of the [Immortal Eye]. Otherwise, the several sects in Penglai's righteous path might not simply give up that spot."

Jing Yu explained, "It doesn't matter where you hone your swordsmanship. Participating in the battle between good and evil can also weaken Xiao Guanying's influence in the Heavenly Court. Why not? This old fellow is so arbitrary and dictatorial. He is our common enemy in our quest to ascend to the upper realms. We must not allow his power to expand any further."

"Besides..." Jing Yu smiled faintly, "You can take this opportunity to get closer to the girl from Penglai Holy Land."

Guan Lingxiao's ears rarely turned red, and he whispered:

"Master, my great vengeance has not yet been avenged... I don't want to be distracted."

"Besides, the road to immortality is long and one must walk alone... I believe that my potential has been fulfilled and that the lower realms can no longer hold me back."

"But Yinghan... although she is also very talented, she is still one step behind my disciples."

"When my disciples ascend to the upper realm, heaven and man will be separated. Wouldn't it be lonely?"

"We can't sleep together in life, we can't be buried together in death... That little bit of love between men and women, after a thousand years, ten thousand years...it will all fade away."

Jing Yu was slightly startled and fell silent for a rare moment.

Guan Lingxiao gently lifted the black cloth, revealing his cloudy eyes covered with gray.

The blind boy stared at Jing Yu quietly and said softly:

"Master, please practice diligently."

"Even if he becomes the enemy of the entire world someday, Ling Xiao will risk his own life to secure for his master a chance to become a god in this world."

Jing Yu raised an eyebrow, stroked Guan Lingxiao's head, and said with a smile: "Then I will wait and see."

After Guan Lingxiao left, Jing Yu let out a sigh and murmured:

"This kid..."

"It will take time to contain the Heavenly Court. This newly refined [Mysterious Body] can use the power of life magic, so it can do something..."

"My main body is still underground. I just need to practice Qi and body cultivation step by step..."

"It's difficult to reach the physical realm in a short period of time. Let's break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul first."

Jing Yu pondered for a moment and decided on the direction of his future cultivation. The next moment, a [Ku Du Body] wrapped in gray mysterious light emerged from the ground. The Ku Du mysterious light spread out and enveloped the [Chan Xuan Body].

The two starlight phantoms suddenly broke through the void and disappeared into thin air in Jing Yu's cave.

Penglai Fairyland, Yellow Sand Region, Jiachen No. 13 Mine

The sky was filled with dark yellow dust, the scorching sun was diluted into a pale halo, and the heat wave distorted the distant horizon.

An exposed mine is located deep in the Gobi Rift Valley. The rock walls are rust-colored and covered with weathered mineral debris, which makes a metallic crisp sound when stepped on.

The pit walls are covered with man-made wedge-shaped grooves, and faintly fluorescent spirit stone veins can be seen deep inside, but the surface layer has been mined out, leaving only scattered low-quality broken ores embedded in the cracks in the rock.

This is the location of a spiritual stone mine under the jurisdiction of [Heaven].

Fine dust of spirit stones floated in the air. Logically, the spiritual energy and dust emitted by the spirit stones should be beneficial to cultivators, but unfortunately the ore veins here are a mixture of rust stones and spirit stones, which are harmful to cultivators. If too much is inhaled, it will cause stagnation of meridians, so the miners here all mask their faces with coarse linen.

A thin young man with a cultivation level of only the second level of Qi training was holding a magical pickaxe and continuously digging out the scattered low-quality ores on the surface.

"Damn it, why is this damn mine so hard to dig?"

The young man cursed in his heart, but his hands did not stop. He just used his magic power to hit the ore with one pickaxe at a time.

The boy's name is Wenren Nuo. He is a descendant of the Wenren family, a Jindan family in the Huangsha Region. Four years ago, his spiritual roots were detected, but unfortunately, they were the lowest grade spiritual roots. According to the laws of the Heavenly Court, he was sent to this spiritual stone mine to mine.

"Everyone says that cultivating immortality is good, what a bullshit!"

It's no wonder that Wen Rennuo complained. Both his parents were ordinary people, and it was a great thing for them to have a son with spiritual roots. Although he was a descendant of a side branch of the clan, and his spiritual roots were the lowest when tested, if he followed the old rules, he would have the opportunity to enter the clan school and practice with the direct descendants!

Unfortunately, a few years ago, the [Yellow Sand Region] was occupied by that damn [Heaven], and the original rules were changed. People with inferior qualifications like him could only be sent to farm and mine, and would never have a chance to achieve the great Dao again.
