This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Has the leader fallen?

Whether it's true or not, what difference does it make?

No need to say more, this kind of skill in controlling a myriad of swords belongs to an immortal's ability, definitely a Sword Immortal's technique, and can't be faked.

It's known that each sword hanging over Beicang City is of extraordinary quality, each being a superior magic artifact.

A typical cultivator can usually control up to three magic artifacts at once. When the number exceeds ten, it becomes challenging to manage everything.

Even more so, when it comes to handling a hundred artifacts, or even just twenty simultaneously, it's exceedingly rare. One must have a tremendously powerful Primordial Spirit Realm and profound cultivation to achieve it.

But what is Li Qiubai doing now?

Not a hundred swords.

Not a thousand swords.

But several thousand or even tens of thousands.

"Of the world's sword intents, one part belongs to Li Qiubai, who is unparalleled and holds the reins alone." On the large ship, Lu Qingshan gazed at this scene, sighing in awe.

Li Qiubai is not controlling the swords with his primordial spirit.

Even an immortal couldn't control tens of thousands of swords with just the primordial spirit.

He is controlling them with sword intent.

With dense sword intent, he directs tens of thousands of swords, creating this spectacle of the thousand swords returning to the sect.

Means that transcend the profound, the divine, and the heavenly.

Lu Qingshan watched, his mind entranced.

This is what a Sword Immortal truly is.

People say Li Qiubai is the most capricious among the three great Sword Immortals.

With such divine mastery, what matter if he's arrogant?

......

"How come each one is better than the last?" In Oblivion, Gu Yiyi uttered with a tinge of jealousy, sighing powerlessly.

She thought she had learned a lot, but now it seemed there was so much more room for improvement.

Eager to learn, Gu Yiyi slyly noted down Li Qiubai's line in her little notebook.

The problem is, remembering the lines is easy, but saying them with imposing momentum is challenging.

That requires invincible strength.

Unfortunately, she doesn't have it.

So frustrating!

Gu Yiyi envied and lamented.

These sword cultivators, she truly admired them greatly!

......

As Li Qiubai threatened with the swords covering the city.

The next moment.

A streak of light like a meteor shot up from the inner city of Beicang City, stopping several dozen yards in front of Li Qiubai.

The light dispersed.

A burly middle-aged man appeared, with white hair and beard, dressed in a black robe. Though not striking in appearance, he exuded a proud stance, and his aura was profound and fiery.

Xu Su of Sword Tomb.

His expression was calm, but his emotions stirred no less than anyone else's.

The higher one's realm, the better one understands the grandeur within Li Qiubai's immortal technique.

Just...

He squinted slightly.

By rights, Li Qiubai should certainly have fallen from the Sword Immortal Realm, regressing to an Eighth Realm Cultivator, right?

Xu Su focused intently, but found Li Qiubai's presence fluctuating erratically, as if in a very special state, making it impossible to determine if it was Eighth or Ninth Realm.

"Li Qiubai, taking without asking is theft," Xu Su said sternly, with an undertone of anger.

The rain of swords over the city, all belong to the Sword Tomb.

"The swords sing in the tomb, waiting for a call; today I, Li, only sang loudly to them," Li Qiubai said with a smile a few yards away from Xu Su.

Xu Su's face stiffened, suppressing his anger as he continued, "Li Qiubai, the Sword Tomb cannot be lightly insulted.

A thousand years ago, I was defeated by your sword, and I accepted it wholeheartedly.

But when a soldier is away for three days, they should be looked upon with a new perspective. Today, you might not necessarily defeat me again. How can you be so arrogant?"

"If that's the case, then let's fight and see," Li Qiubai replied calmly.

If unconvinced, then fight again to convince.

How simple a principle?

How simple a matter?

"Do you truly think I, Xu Su, fear you?" Xu Su shouted in anger.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Su's body radiated golden light, like a radiant sun, charging straight into the sky.

"I invite Li Qiubai to battle Xu in the azure sky!" High above, Xu Su's voice echoed.

Sword Immortal and Martial Emperor, both at the half-Ninth Realm, are considered the strongest in the human realm.

Such a level of battle, if not held in a spacious area, far from the human realm, even a little residual energy could cause devastation.

Atop the city walls of Beicang, whether they were Nascent Soul, Void Refining, Divinity Transformation, or Integration Cultivators, all invariably looked up at this moment.

"Swords rise!" Li Qiubai called softly.

The thousands of swords hanging over Beicang City turned around, emitting their own brilliance, aligning in a single line, like a surging tide, like a majestic dragon, vast and boundless, the sword curtain stretched endlessly.

Li Qiubai leapt to the forefront of the sword group, as if riding the dragon's head, controlling the swords to ascend to the sky, entering the Qingming.

Legendary Battle!

Their speed was as swift as wind and rain, and before long, they reached immeasurable heights, disappearing from everyone's view.

While everyone unconsciously gazed at the sky dome above, watching the unseen pinnacle battle, another event shook the world on this day.

The latest edition of the Heaven and Earth Heavenly Rankings, published by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, announced that Lu Qingshan, previously the strongest in the Fourth Realm, claimed the title of the strongest in the Fifth Realm in just one year.

Unparalleled prodigy!

....

In the battle of Qingping Mountain, Lu Qingshan, defeated the Jiao King under everyone's eyes.

But the human realm is vast, and Qingping Mountain too small, so even with such illustrious achievements, Lu Qingshan's name spread too slowly and with little fanfare.

But that's not a problem.

Others might overlook this news, but the Heavenly Secret Pavilion won't miss it.
