Peerless Sword God of the City

Li Yi was sitting in a taxi, which was speeding along. His eyes were slightly closed, and he seemed to be deep in thought.

Although this is a modern society, an era of firearms, Li Yi knows that the world is not that simple at all!

Because cultivators still exist in this world.

Although he didn't know why Earth's spiritual energy was so scarce, almost becoming a spiritual death planet, there were still cultivators.

However, Li Yi was certain that a civilization of cultivation must have existed on Earth in the past.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have jumped into the river to commit suicide when his family was destroyed and he had no hope of revenge. Instead, he survived the ordeal and triggered a strange formation that teleported him to another planet, where he unexpectedly obtained a cultivation method.

Then, with his unparalleled genius, he broke through to the Qi Refining stage, Foundation Establishment stage, and Core Formation stage.

It took him less than ten years to cultivate from an ordinary person to the Core Formation stage.

This is something that has never happened before in the cultivation world!

When he formed his Golden Core, his physical body was able to withstand the void turbulence and stay in the starry sky for a while thanks to the immortal aura of the Golden Core. He then went through countless dangers to return from other planets to Earth to avenge his parents and Fei'er.

When he had just slaughtered the Chen family, who had assassinated Xie Feier, and was about to slaughter the Jun family, the number one family in Jiangnan Province, who had truly caused his family's destruction, a cultivator from Earth appeared and stopped him.

However, these cultivators had incomplete lineages. When they slaughtered the Jun family, there was only one cultivator at the Pseudo-Core Realm who was no match for him. He killed him with a wave of his hand and left Earth after avenging the Jun family.

When he left, to prevent any members of the Jun or Chen families from escaping, he used his divine sense to scan the entire Jiangnan Province. That's when he discovered that there was actually a cultivator in Daqing, Qinghe City, who was in seclusion preparing to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

I sensed from my divine sense that this cultivator had been in seclusion for at least ten years in order to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Only cultivators in the Qi Refining stage who have been in seclusion for such a long time are likely to develop death energy on their physical bodies.

On this spiritually barren Earth, to break through to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, this person would need at least several years to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth before they could possibly succeed in establishing their foundation.

Furthermore, Li Yi sensed a faint trace of sword intent emanating from this cultivator.

Although the sword intent was weak, it indicated that this person was a sword cultivator.

If you want to become a sword cultivator, even if you are only at the Qi Refining stage, you must have your own spirit sword!

Therefore, Li Yi is going to borrow a sword!

Li Yi spent a thousand years seeking enlightenment and undergoing tribulations, traversing the universe and galaxies with the divine sword Wufeng. He can be said to be the person in the world who understands swords the most.

With just a spirit sword, even the most ordinary one, Li Yi was confident that he could kill the internal energy master who went to assassinate Xie Feier with a single sword strike, relying on the sword techniques he had learned in his mind!

However, what's troubling Li Yi now is that this person is currently in seclusion and certainly won't lend him his spirit sword just because he's a nobody.

They might even kill him because he disturbed his seclusion.

Li Yi also wanted to reveal several secret techniques that could instantly allow him to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm, so that the person could become Li Yi's temporary henchman to help him get rid of the trouble in front of him.

but.

He is now just an ordinary person with no abdominal muscles.

If the cultivator in seclusion were to see these secret techniques with malicious intent, it might lead to murder and theft, and he is no match for this person now.

It goes without saying that he would make this person his henchman.

Therefore, he had no choice but to borrow a sword.

And you also have to get this person to willingly lend you the spirit sword.

……

……

Daqing is a remote suburb in the northern part of Qinghe City.

More than two hours later, Li Yi got out of the taxi and, relying on his memory, quickly walked towards a mountain peak!

Soon, Li Yi arrived outside the cave where this person was in seclusion.

Li Yi looked at the cave entrance, which was covered with thorny bushes and overgrown weeds, and narrowed his eyes as he peered inside.

"After years of unsuccessful attempts to establish a foundation, the deathly aura is spreading, and it won't last much longer."

Li Yi knew that although cultivators could disperse their divine sense outside their bodies during seclusion, making it easier for them to sense danger.

Therefore, those who are in seclusion will definitely be able to hear his words.

However, there seemed to be nothing unusual inside the cave; it was extremely quiet, as if no one was there at all.

Li Yi was not in a hurry and slowly said again, "If you still cannot successfully establish your foundation, it will take at least half a year to a year for the death energy around you to gradually erode your body. After several years, you will become a dried corpse and eventually die and your soul will dissipate."

"But..."

As Li Yi finished speaking, a hoarse and aged voice urgently came from inside the cave.

"But what?"

Such a terrifying sound coming from a desolate cave in this remote mountain wilderness would probably make anyone else think they've seen a ghost.

However, this did not surprise Li Yi; on the contrary, it made him secretly delighted.

As he expected, the man was in seclusion here.

"However, with my help, I might be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage within six months!" Li Yi said decisively.

"You are just a mortal who has never embarked on cultivation. How can you possibly help me establish my foundation?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "How will you know if you don't try?"

"Since you know about the existence of cultivators, it means you have some knowledge. However, in this Qinghe City, I have never heard of anyone who can help others establish their foundation."

Li Yi listened to the doubtful words but did not answer; he simply smiled calmly.

"why are you laughing?"

Li Yi looked into the cave and said, "I laugh at you. After you die, the world will be one less ignorant person."

Upon hearing this, the reclusive cultivator in the cave felt a surge of anger.

In his more than 100 years of life, he had never seen anyone as audacious as Li Yi.

For a mere mortal to dare mock a cultivator is tantamount to courting death.

But if this person isn't looking to die, then it means they really have some confidence!

Could it be that this person truly has a way to help me establish my foundation?

"Young friend, if you can help me establish my foundation, I will certainly repay this kindness." The person in seclusion hesitated for a moment before speaking solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Li Yi knew that even if there was only a sliver of hope, this person would not let it go easily.

Because if you miss your chance, the final act will be death!

He doesn't want to die!

Therefore, Li Yi made a request.

"I can help you establish your foundation, but I'll lend you my spirit sword for three days."

Upon hearing this, the person in seclusion fell silent.

Because the spirit sword was his only means of protecting himself after he went into seclusion, he might be in danger if Li Yi borrowed it.

Sensing the hesitation of the person in seclusion, Li Yi slowly said to the cave, "I will lend you this sword for three days. After three days, I will return it to you. As compensation for lending the sword, I guarantee that you will be able to establish your foundation within six months."

"How to guarantee it?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "If I can't help you establish your foundation within six months, I doubt you'd be waiting to die in this desolate cave."

"Even if I fail to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, it shouldn't take too much effort for someone as weak as me to kill after I emerge from seclusion."

The person in seclusion remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded.

Ding.

A sword rang out, and a streak of light flew out from the cave, piercing the ground with a 'clang'.

"I hope my young friend will keep his word."

Li Yi nodded, then glanced at the longsword that gleamed with light.

This is a spirit sword forged from black iron, but the forging technique is extremely outdated. This black iron sword can only be considered the lowest grade of spirit sword.

However, now that I have the spirit sword, I must start trying to communicate with spirits.

The sword contains a spirit.

Only by communicating with the sword through its spirit or by forcibly erasing the divine consciousness left by its former owner can one manipulate it.

Although Li Yi is just an ordinary person at this time, in his previous life he was a powerful cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage, and it was an easy thing for him to summon a low-grade spiritual sword.

However, the spirit within this Xuan Tie sword is extremely weak, even negligible, and has not yet developed a spiritual aperture; it only possesses some extremely simple emotions.

If it is a divine artifact of the level of Wufeng, its intelligence is no different from that of an ordinary person.

Furthermore, Wu Feng doesn't even need Li Yi to control him; he can easily kill powerful experts at the Nascent Soul stage.

Its unparalleled power is evident.

As Li Yi activated his spiritual connection, a faint sword intent began to emanate from the sword. However, the sword intent of the Xuan Tie sword instantly retreated back into the sword body as soon as it touched Li Yi's senses.

Then, all that was seen was that the sword suddenly began to tremble.

The person in seclusion changed his expression, because he sensed that his spiritual sword was emitting a feeling of fear, accompanied by a sense of inferiority.

His spirit sword was actually terrified of Li Yi.

His spirit sword actually felt a sense of inferiority in front of Li Yi!

It's like a beggar encountering the world's richest person and feeling inferior.

Could this person also be a sword cultivator, with a higher level of swordsmanship than me?

Feeling the fear and inferiority complex emanating from the Xuan Tie sword, Li Yi said calmly, "Don't feel unworthy of me."

Li Yi shook his head, paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Although you are indeed not good enough for me."

The sword trembled incessantly.

Finally, Li Yi said, "However, I don't mind, because I need your help now."

As Li Yi finished speaking, the sword suddenly stopped trembling.

The sword intent suddenly surged, as if it wanted to burst forth from the earth.
