System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

"This set of flying sword magic weapons was finally forged after I killed the Xuan Serpent, by refining and fusing various precious bones. They all come from the same source and consist of a total of eighteen flying swords." Chen Xuan said to Bai Li, "These eighteen flying swords contain the essence of swift wind. They were forged by me based on my own understanding of the Way of Swift Wind. Both their shapes and the formations they contain are very suitable for your use."

"Wow—" Bai Li subconsciously caught the eighteen small, cyan flying swords and immediately fell in love with them. No wonder they're modern people; even the design of these flying swords is so beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

"Thank you, Master. Master Bai Li loves you to death." Bai Li carefully examined each flying sword, occasionally turning her head to give Chen Xuan a kiss in the air.

"Since entering the Myriad Manifestations Realm, I haven't been able to find a suitable divine weapon or magic treasure. This is finally a good thing."

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "This set is not the most suitable for you. I don't have better materials, so I can't refine a high-grade earth-level flying sword array. Otherwise, why would you, a great demon at the peak of the Ten Thousand Elephant Realm, barely be able to use a high-grade human-level magic weapon?"

"Waaah, I knew it..." Upon hearing Chen Xuan's smug words, Bai Li rushed into the boat and hugged Chen Xuan's arm tightly, shaking it.

"I knew Master felt sorry for Bai Li, hehe."

Looking at this clever and mischievous girl, Chen Xuan shook his head with a wry smile, "Although they are only high-grade human-level, you can use them to practice combat techniques that suit you."

Upon hearing this, Bai Li immediately sensed something was amiss.

"In other words, you will need to focus on practicing close-combat sword skills for the next period of time."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Li tried to slip away, but Chen Xuan grabbed her by the collar and pulled her back.

"Three months of dedicated study and practice will be enough to further enhance our strength before we arrive in Qingtian County."

"Alright, Master, Bai Li understands."

The following days were very peaceful.

After finishing her training, Bai Li would fly down from the sky to catch some large fish and beasts in the vast wilderness to satisfy her appetite.

In the vast wilderness, vegetation flourishes and rivers rush.

Bai Li, like a nimble bird, darted through the woods, searching for prey. Her movements were light and agile, each strike precise and accurate. After catching her prey, she would happily fly back to the airship to begin cooking and grilling.

After embarking on his journey, Chen Xuan stopped accumulating spiritual energy from the Purple Mansion Lake and instead focused all his energy on comprehending the Dao, studying the Dao of Swordsmanship and the Dao of Talismans.

Inside the flying boat, Chen Xuan was surrounded by parchment and materials for refining magical artifacts. He would sometimes fall into deep thought, sometimes begin to refine magical artifacts, or use his finger as a brush to sketch in the air, seemingly drawing some kind of mysterious talisman.

Such dedicated cultivation resulted in subtle changes in Chen Xuan's aura every so often.

Time passed, and before they knew it, the old, black flying boat had been flying smoothly in the sky for nearly a month.

Bai Li's initial excitement and novelty turned into habit.

Finally, aside from cultivation, they would go down to catch fish and engage in other activities. Chen Xuan, however, remained steadfast in his routine, immersing himself in enlightenment and studying various Daoist techniques after each meal of Bai Li's grilled fish and meat.

The sun sets in the west, and the bright moon rises in the east.

The airship continued to churn through the clouds and mist, flying steadily.

Suddenly, Bai Li, who was sitting at the bow of the boat with her eyes closed, opened them abruptly and looked at the desolate area to her left.

"Spiritual energy fluctuation?"

wow——

Bai Li immediately showed a look of surprise and delight; they, master and servant, hadn't seen a human in far too long.

Moreover, this fluctuation clearly indicates a fierce battle between two opposing forces.

Although Bai Li was curious, she dared not cause trouble. She first concealed her aura and then secretly approached the battle area.

When she arrived at the place where the fluctuations were spreading, she only took a quick look through the gap in the mountain before turning pale and retreating.

Then, Bai Li immediately took full control of the flying boat, flying at full speed, trying to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

"This is terrifying, a strange phenomenon from the sky?"

Bai Li's face was pale, and her eyes kept flashing. "According to the memories of our ancestors, those who can fully grasp the phenomena are all powerful beings in the Void Reversal Realm. Three Void Reversal Earth Immortals actually besieged a warship in this godforsaken place? They must have planned this in advance. We must not get involved in any karma, otherwise my master and I will be ruined."

Bai Li wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, whispering as she looked back at Chen Xuan inside the boat.

"Fortunately, the aftershocks of the battle were blocked by the great formation and did not disturb the master."
