The destruction of the Holy Land shocked the whole world.
What shocked the world the most was that the force that destroyed the Four Holy Lands was Qimen, which had only risen for more than thirty years. For a time, Qimen became the only remaining superpower in the eyes of the world.
A month later, Qimen was rebuilt.
The superpower that will control Shenlan for three thousand years in the future has finally begun to take shape.
Li Kezhou's return was no surprise, so everyone recommended him to be the leader of the Qi Sect, but he rejected it on the spot.
He is not interested in power, he only hopes to cultivate to the realm of fake immortals as soon as possible, and then enter the place of exile that makes sword cultivators in the world fearful.
On the third day after the destruction of the Sifang Holy Land, he said goodbye to several old friends of Qimen, entered a deep and silent mountain, and entered into long-lasting penance.
He cultivated in the cave and had no concept of time. To him, only one day might have passed in the cave, but a full year had passed outside.
Year after year, the situation in the world becomes clearer and clearer. The Sifang Holy Land has gradually faded away in the world's population. Shenlan's Qimen has begun to become the holy land for sword cultivation that people in the world dream of.
During this period, Qimen held the "Ten Thousand Swords Exchange" conference, and sword sects from all over the world gathered in Qimen to introduce Wanjian to the sect, establishing Qimen's supreme status in one fell swoop.
Time flies and ten years have passed.
This day.
An unknown mountain.
"laugh!!!"
There was a loud roar in the sky, and a sword shadow of a hundred feet split open the mountain and shot straight into the sky. The sword shadow stayed for as long as a stick of incense, and then gradually began to disperse.
This shocking scene was seen in every corner of the Five Directions Sword Domain.
"This is... a sword that shocks the immortals. Someone has discovered the way of swordsmanship!"
"The sword shadow is formed by the sword's will, and lasts for as long as a stick of incense. This sword is so powerful that it is unheard of. It is said that the sword master in white back then fully understood the sword of deceiving frost, and the sky-reaching sword shadow formed by it only stayed in the sky.
Just half a stick of incense."
"Who is this person? The terrifying swordsmanship of Zhenwu will definitely shock the past and the present. Looking at the direction, it seems to come from Shenlan. Shenlan is indeed the holy land of swordsmanship, and another great master of swordsmanship has appeared!"
People from every corner of the world were marveling at the vision that appeared in the sky. There were also different opinions about the person behind it, and dozens of versions were created.
At this time, in the unknown deep cave, a man with unkempt appearance and unshaven beard slowly opened his closed eyes.
Those two gazes seemed to be the sharpest swords in the world. Deep in the pupils, there stood a mysterious sword shadow. The sword seemed to exist naturally.
"He is worthy of being the one who defeated me, Xie Yunliu. It took him only ten years to fully understand his own swordsmanship. In today's world, I can't think of anyone who has possessed such terrifying swordsmanship."
Following the sound, an old man appeared outside the cave. This man did not appear outside and walked in swaggeringly.
Seeing the person coming, Li Kezhou's eyes were calm: "Unexpectedly, ten years have passed and you are still in the Sword Realm. I thought you had already entered the immortal world."
Xie Yunliu sat down and said with a smile: "That place is not a kind place. I am still waiting for a chance. It will take up to three years. If it succeeds, my sword body will undergo another transformation. Only then will I have the courage to enter the legendary fairy world.
, compete with the geniuses from all over the world..."
Li Kezhou nodded slightly.
Anyone who becomes a Sword Immortal is not one without talent, and the Immortal World is where sword cultivators from all realms gather, so all kinds of geniuses exist. Even Xie Yunliu has to be extremely cautious.
"Little friend! I looked at the sky-reaching sword shadow just now, and I felt a sense of eternity from the sword shadow. It seems that your swordsmanship has transcended the sword itself and reached a higher realm."
Xie Yunliu looked curious.
"My sword... is the Sword of Eternal Day!"
When Li Kezhou talked about the swordsmanship that he had mastered over ten years, his eyes showed excitement, and in the depths of his pupils, the shadow of the sword emitted a faint light.
Xie Yunliu's expression changed, he lowered his eyes and said to himself: "Break of dawn...everlasting day..."
He raised his head and looked at the man in front of him who had been in seclusion for ten years and had a face full of vicissitudes of life, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Your ambition is really great. If I guess correctly, the world's most respected leader, the Light of Dawn, has been reduced to second place in the world, and should be replaced by the Light of Eternal Day!"
Li Kezhou smiled slightly and did not answer: "I have stayed in the Sword Territory for ten years, and it's time to leave. Leave the Sword Territory and go to that unknown place."
Xie Yunliu naturally knew where he was talking about.
"Before you leave, don't leave any worries, because if you leave, you may never be able to come back again." Xie Yunliu said sincerely.
Li Kezhou was in a daze, and this man's words made him look back on the first half of his life.
Xie Yunliu stood up silently and walked out of the cave slowly. The others disappeared, and a distant voice came: "If you don't have the bond, maybe we can meet again in the fairy world!"
His voice was full of regret.
The place of exile, known as the Immortal Realm, is a lonely prison. The life and death of those who go there are unknown. But in his eyes, the boy in front of him, whose talent is astonishing in the past and the present, is willing to go to the kind of sword cultivation that he is afraid of avoiding.
The hopeless place that he couldn't reach made him sigh helplessly.
"Go without worry! As long as I am here, your Qimen will always be the only holy place in the world." Xie Yunliu's voice gradually faded away.
He is indeed qualified to say this, because as soon as Li Kezhou leaves, there will be no one stronger than him in the world, only the Black Emperor can be on par with him.
But the Black Emperor, after getting the "Eternal Demonic Core" from Li Kezhou, disappeared. As expected, he obviously believed that the Lord of Shenlan was unstoppable and found a way to escape from the Sword Domain.
Li Kezhou walked out of the cave.
He stopped for a moment and looked in the direction of Zunfeng Sword Domain.
…
Zunfeng Sword Domain.
Huangshacheng, Lijia.
Another ten years have passed. At this time, the Li family has become the veritable first family in the sword domain. The family has spread out and there are hundreds of descendants with the blood of the Li family.
Especially after Qimen in the Shenlan Sword Domain became the only holy land in the world, the Li family took advantage of the situation and rose to the occasion. This family's right to speak in the Zunfeng Sword Domain has reached the point where it can speak for itself.
On this day, the grand Li family gate was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.
"What a good day today is. The Li family is full of people, and even the most powerful force in Shenlan, the master of the Kongshan Sword Clan, has personally come to congratulate you?"
"You don't know yet! Li Yi, the second young master of the Li family, was successfully admitted into the Qimen and is now a disciple of the Holy Land. Such a major event is certainly worthy of celebration."
"It is said that the Li family has a connection with the Qimen. It seems true. Otherwise, with Li Yi's qualifications, he would barely be able to join the Kongshan Jianmen. How can he have the chance to join the Qimen?"
"Yes! But who would have thought that the Qimen would grow so fast, destroying the four holy places in one fell swoop ten years ago, and thus becoming the supreme leader in the world."
Passers-by in twos and threes passed in front of the Li Mansion, lowering their voices and whispering. When they saw the guard looking at them, they were so frightened that they quickly shut up and left quickly.
"Where can a beggar dare to come and admire the scenery of my Li family?"
A guard saw a slovenly man with his hands behind his back, looking up at the word "Li Mansion" inlaid with gold on the plaque. He thought he was a beggar who came to beg for food, so he yelled at him like he was chasing away flies.
