Immortals of the Mortal World Gather at the Inn!

Li Daoxuan looked around and found that Gu Zimo had disappeared after taking his sword strike. As for the claim that he had injured him, well, that was impossible!

"The patriarch must have passed away!"

Li Daoxuan thought to himself, as for inheritance, he felt that he had already gained a lot, so it was no longer important. After all, other people's paths may not be suitable for him, only the path he walked was suitable for him!

Li Daoxuan left the small world and came to the outside world, to the top of Sword Mountain!

As soon as Li Daoxuan came out, he saw a crimson longsword standing in the void. However, strangely, Li Daoxuan felt that something was missing and something was off.

"Qingfeng, how was it? Was the battle intense?"

"Yes, Qingfeng, tell us what happened!"

"Qingfeng, you..."

The sword spirits all gathered around Qingfeng, eager to know how the battle in the small world had ended!

Strangely, they didn't seem to see the Heavenly Punishment Sword standing in the void at all.

As soon as Li Daoxuan landed on the ground, his soul seemed to be drawn by a force and arrived in a pure white space!

This space is pure white, as if it were a newly born space!

"You've come!"

At this moment, Gu Ziming suddenly appeared directly in front of Li Daoxuan, with his hands behind his back.

Seeing this, Li Daoxuan was somewhat puzzled, but still replied, "Yes, Ancestor, what kind of place is this?"

Gu Ziming fell into deep thought. He was very familiar with this place. When the Heavenly Punishment Sword was born, this place was pure white. Later, it fought with him in all directions and turned crimson. Now, the spirit of the Heavenly Punishment Sword has passed away and it has become an ordinary sword. This place has also turned back to the pure white of the day it was born. It's really a cruel twist of fate!

"Grandmaster!"

Seeing that Gu Ziming hadn't responded for a long time, Li Daoxuan cautiously called out.

"Hmm!" Gu Ziming snapped out of his reverie, turned around, and said to Li Daoxuan, "Your talent is good, and your comprehension is also good, but your combat awareness needs improvement. After leaving Sword Mountain, you will go down the mountain and travel abroad. Remember, you must not use your identity as a Sword Mountain disciple!"

Li Daoxuan was somewhat taken aback. He had asked the man where this place was and why he was being told about descending the mountain. Nevertheless, Li Daoxuan replied, "This junior will follow your teachings. After leaving Sword Mountain, I will descend the mountain as a wandering cultivator and travel the world!"

"This space is the consciousness space of the Heavenly Punishment Sword."

Gu Ziming seemed to have just remembered to answer Li Daoxuan's question.

Li Daoxuan was now completely bewildered, wondering if this person was on a completely different wavelength from him!

Li Daoxuan calmed himself down, looked around, and asked in confusion, "Where is Senior Tianfa?"

Gu Ziming looked at the pure white space and said, "He's gone."

Although Li Daoxuan looked puzzled, he didn't even consider the possibility that the Heavenly Punishment Sword Spirit was dead!

Gu Ziming pointed at the pure white space, and an ordinary sword, so commonplace it couldn't be more so, appeared before the two of them.

Outside, when Gu Zimo summoned the ordinary mortal sword, the crimson longsword standing in the void outside also slowly turned into an ordinary sword.

From this day forward, divine punishment ceased to exist!

Gu Ziming noticed that his hand trembled slightly, but he quickly recovered.

Li Daoxuan looked curiously at the ordinary sword that had appeared and asked, "Ancestor, what is this?"

Gu Ziming thought for a moment and said, "Although this sword is an ordinary item, it can be upgraded along with its master's cultivation level. Its potential depends on your potential."

"This is the legacy I'm passing on to you!"

Gu Ziming pushed the sword in front of Li Daoxuan and said, "Give me a drop of your heart's blood, and let it drip onto the blade!"

Following Gu Zimo's request, Li Daoxuan dripped a drop of his heart's blood onto the sword. After that, Li Daoxuan felt a special connection between himself and the sword.

Gu Ziming looked at the sword that no longer had anything to do with him, feeling great pain in his heart, but he did not express it.

Gu Ziming said to Li Daoxuan, "Let's give him a name!"

Li Daoxuan thought about it carefully and said, "The path of cultivation I embarked on at the Red Dust Inn, and the path I took after leaving the mountain to travel the world, I'll call it the 'Red Dust Sword'!"

"The Red Dust Sword?" Gu Zimo murmured, "A very nice name."

"Now that the inheritance has been received, let's go out!"

Just as Li Daoxuan was about to thank Gu Zimo again, he suddenly found himself at the foot of Sword Mountain.

Just like when he first entered Sword Mountain and was about to climb it, he was entangled by his inner demons. However, now he has come down from Sword Mountain and has an ordinary longsword in his hand, with no spiritual energy fluctuations!

"I'm leaving now. I wonder when I'll be able to come back again!"

If Li Daoxuan were to be conservative, he would have stayed on this Sword Mountain for ten years. You have to know that Li Daoxuan was only sixteen when he entered the mountain, and now he is twenty-six years old. Although cultivators do not care about age, for someone like Li Daoxuan, it is already like a second home!

Outside Sword Mountain, Shangguan Jin Hong, who had been waiting for ten years, noticed Li Dao Xuan emerge and immediately rushed forward: "Little Xuan, are you alright?"

Li Daoxuan looked at Shangguan Jin Hong with a dazed expression. For Shangguan Jin Hong, these ten years had passed in the blink of an eye, but for Li Daoxuan, it felt like ten years since he had last seen Shangguan Jin Hong.

"Master, I'm alright!"

After seeing Li Daoxuan emerge unharmed, Shangguan Jin Hong felt relieved.

Inadvertently, Shangguan Jin Hong noticed the ordinary sword in Li Daoxuan's hand and asked curiously, "Little Xuan, is this the sword you took from Sword Mountain?"

Li Daoxuan nodded.

Shangguan Jin Hong sighed softly and said, "Never mind, our Sword Sect still has a few top-grade Heaven-rank immortal swords. I'll take you to the Weapon Pavilion to get one!"

Li Daoxuan hurriedly replied, "No need, Master, this sword is enough!"

So, Li Daoxuan briefly recounted what had happened on Sword Mountain. When Shangguan Jin Hong heard about the patriarch, he immediately set up an isolation array. Then, after Li Daoxuan stopped talking, he quickly flew with Li Daoxuan to the place where he was in seclusion!

"What?! You want to go down the mountain to travel?!"

At Shangguan Jin Hong's secluded retreat, Shangguan Jin Hong exclaimed in shock.

Li Daoxuan replied, "This is a task given to me by my ancestor."

When Shangguan Jin Hong heard that it was the Patriarch's instruction, he had no choice but to comply. Just as he was about to take out something, he saw Li Daoxuan's lips twitch slightly, and he knew that the Patriarch had something to say again.

As expected, Shangguan Jin Hong and Li Dao Xuan said, "The patriarch also said that we can only bring things to sustain ourselves; nothing else!"

"Hehe!" Shangguan Jin Hong laughed, but it was a bitter laugh!

Shangguan Jin Hong looked at Li Dao Xuan and asked, "Little Xuan, when are we going down the mountain?"

Li Daoxuan thought for a moment and said, "One month from now!"

Shangguan Jin Hong nodded and said, "Alright, after you go out, meet with your senior brother. He has been very worried about you these past ten years."

"Alright, get out of here. I'm going into seclusion!"

"yes!"

After returning, Li Daoxuan first greeted his senior brother Xiao Fenghua, then went to the Scripture Pavilion to look up martial arts manuals, and practiced swordsmanship in his spare time.

A month passed quickly.

At the gate of the Sword Sect, Li Daoxuan, dressed in green and carrying the Red Dust Sword, waved goodbye to his senior brothers and sisters who came to say goodbye, and then resolutely walked down from the Sword Sect!
