"Who sent the mysterious order from the Great Xia?" Li Qiubai frowned.
Such a strange command, whose idea was it?
Who is targeting him?
"I only know this is a ssage from the Great Xia Imperial Court, but as for who it specifically cos from, I don’t know." Shui Wuya replied.
........
......
"Sect Master, they have already left and have now reached that line of position." On the top floor of Water Cloud Tower, the burly figure of Lu Ming Liang ca in, reporting respectfully.
Shui Wuya nodded, indicating that he understood.
After a brief conversation and obtaining the information he wanted, Li Qiubai then turned and left with Lu Qingshan, not lingering long in Water Cloud Tower.
This made them feel a sense of relief.
The pressure from a Sword Immortal was indeed too much.
"Sect Master, what exactly has the Chang’an Sword Immortal co for this ti?" Lu Ming Liang couldn’t help but ask, puzzled.
Shui Wuya thought for a mont, then concisely shared the information Li Qiubai had just revealed with Lu Ming Liang.
"Three empty cities?" Lu Ming Liang’s pupils suddenly enlarged, "Could this be Qing King’s doing?"
"It should be." Shui Wuya’s face did not change much, but his slightly trembling lips revealed his internal turmoil.
"What exactly is Qing King planning?" Lu Ming Liang gritted his teeth, finding it hard to believe.
"He is probably preparing to ascend to the Ancestral Realm; of course, this is just my guess." Shui Wuya pondered aloud.
"Ancestral Realm?" Lu Ming Liang was greatly astonished.
What does this concept an?
The Ancestral Realm is the Tenth Realm.
Throughout the long history of the Human Race, only one person has reached the Ancestral Realm, Ancestral Daoist Xia.
Even the currently recognized strongest human, Heavenly River Sword Immortal Chu Mu, is still an unreachable distance from the Ancestral Realm.
Qing King actually starts preparing to ascend to the Ancestral Realm?!
"Can he achieve it?" Lu Ming Liang took a deep breath and asked, full of doubt.
The life of Qing King is undoubtedly legendary, but compared to Ancestral Daoist Xia, it’s far from enough.
Not to ntion Ancestral Daoist Xia, Qing King cannot even compare with those three Sword Immortals.
He really finds it hard to believe that Qing King can break through to the Ancestral Realm.
Based on what?
"I don’t know," Shui Wuya shook his head, "to be fair, Qing King’s ticulous efforts might have so likelihood of success."
"However, this Ancestral Realm can’t simply be calculated by human efforts, it depends on fate. Otherwise, throughout our Human Race’s history, only one Ancestral Daoist Xia reached the Ancestral Realm," Shui Wuya thought for a mont, then added, "Still, although the Ancestral Realm is nearly impossible, the Demi-Ancestor Realm is sowhat possible."
If the attempt to ascend to the Ancestral Realm fails, but sothing indeed is gained in the process, transcending the original realm, then it would be referred to as the Demi-Ancestor Realm.
"A Demi-Ancestor is also the pinnacle of combat power for our Human Race nowadays." Lu Ming Liang said solemnly.
Within the Human Realm, there is no cultivator stronger than the Demi-Ancestor Realm.
Even Heavenly River Sword Immortal Chu Mu, with unparalleled combat power, barely reaches the Demi-Ancestor level.
Moreover, throughout the entire Human Realm, aside from Ancestral Daoist Xia, there is but one Demi-Ancestor level combat power, Chu Mu.
If Qing King truly reaches this realm, it will be a monuntal boon for the Human Race, effectively doubling its top combat power.
Certainly, Qing King is a Body Cultivation practitioner, with an unparalleled physical body.
By then, joining forces with the offensively unmatched Chu Jianxian against foes, their combined combat power wouldn’t be as simple as one plus one equals two.
"Sect Master really told Chang’an Sword Immortal all the information?" Lu Ming Liang hesitated for a mont, finally couldn’t help but ask.
Shui Wuya nodded slightly.
"But..." Lu Ming Liang showed a hesitant expression, the intention was evident.
"Don’t talk about how Qing King’s actions now might defy celestial ethics; if we conceal it, we are likely aiding the wicked.
Just by our Water Cloud Tower alone, do we have the qualification or the courage to deceive in front of the Chang’an Sword Immortal?"
Shui Wuya looked out through the corner window of the wall.
By this ti, the Lan Cang River, that Li Qiubai had severed with a single finger, had not yet closed up.
The most illustrious sword intent in the mortal world.
He couldn’t help but murmur, "If that finger fell upon our Water Cloud Tower...."
Lu Ming Liang trembled involuntarily upon hearing this, seemingly having seen the scene of sky falling and earth cracking.
"Chang’an Sword Immortal is not soone with a soft temperant." Shui Wuya said.
Or rather, Sword Cultivators are not soft in temperant.
"Previously blocking the Sword Immortal recklessly, if not for our affiliation with the Great Xia’s artifact division, taking into account Xia Zhao’s goodwill, that finger would have targeted Lan Cang River instead."
"Forgiving us once is possible, but if we don’t know our place, Chang’an Sword Immortal would be far from courteous with us." Shui Wuya was quite self-aware.
This is a madman who dares to leave a sword at Chang’an’s Xuanwu Gate.
What does Water Cloud Tower count as to a figure like this?
Holding back was just out of respect for Xia Zhao, not out of fear.
"But, didn’t Qing King say Li Qiubai has already fallen down from the Sword Immortal Realm?" Lu Ming Liang recalled, "How is he still so strong?"
Regarding this question, Shui Wuya hesitated for a mont, finally shook his head and said, "I’m not really sure about it; it’s possible Qing King’s information is flawed.
However, Li Qiubai indeed fell down from the Sword Immortal Realm, but it’s not impossible he returned to the Sword Immortal Realm now."
"Who knows?"
Shui Wuya sighed softly, sowhat wistful.
