After a long time.
"What do you think?"
King Li put down his teacup and put away the tea set.
He waved his sleeves, and the lake that appeared above the dome of the observatory disappeared in an instant.
It was another evening, and the red glow filled the sky above the observatory.
The blood-red rays of light shone through the dome, making each stone pillar look a little bloody.
In the stone pillars, most of the true gods of the purgatory world were thinking about the scene where Li Chu's "divine form" was pierced by a sword and had not healed for a long time.
This scene will be forever engraved in the depths of their souls.
Lin Qiyang, another true god of the Pure Land, Jiang Fan of the Haotian Divine Kingdom, and Dong Shangqing of the Ancient Law Sect, their rankings among the gods are almost the same as Li Chu.
Also ranked at the end.
They pondered silently, wondering if they were Li Chu and used the "God's Dharma Image" to withstand Pang Jian's sword, would they be able to keep their bodies from being pierced
As they thought about it, a bitter feeling emanated from their stone pillars.
Without relying on the divine weapon, the "God's Dharma Image" that is the combination of flesh and blood and divinity cannot block that sword at all!
"Li Chu, you are missing a wood artifact."
Pei Yishen, the king of the desolate realm, did not show much emotion in his eyes. He knew that this sword would not really hurt Li Chu's foundation.
"Legend has it that among the members of the Wood Tribe who are now living in the Fifth Realm, and within the Black Wood Cult, there are artifacts that can be called divine weapons hidden away."
"Unfortunately, I was unable to find it for him."
"The great ways counteract each other. The indestructible Origin Demon Sword is a golden artifact. And this mysterious and complex newcomer in the Sword Tower obviously also has some knowledge of the power of gold."
"but… "
Pei Yishan tried to explain that there was another reason why Li Chu was pierced through the abdomen by a sword.
But he had to admit that Pang Jian, the new god on earth, did have amazing fighting power.
"However, as a newborn true god, he is also worthy of our trust."
"We can trust him. He can bring fame to the Sword Tower again. He can help us kill the strongest and alien gods in the fifth realm as the new Sword God of this era."
After he finished speaking, Pei Yishan's shadow disappeared first.
The alien races from the fifth realm, the alien gods from outer space, and the dragon cave with unknown intentions are very likely to choose to take action at this time.
Li Chu is the true god of his desolate land, and now he is obviously injured. He wants to ensure that Li Chu will not be disturbed by any external force at this stage.
"After this battle, no one should have any objection to the Sword Tower moving to the First Realm, right?" Su Wanrou from the Pure Land said indifferently.
She devoted all her efforts to cultivating Pang Lin, intending to clear all obstacles for Pang Lin, and intending to use Pang Lin to extinguish the arrogance of the old thunder dragon. Naturally, she tried her best to protect Pang Jian.
Compared with the strength of Long Ku, her and Lin Qi Yang's strength is just barely on par with that of Long Ku.
In her pure land, the old thunder dragon would not be able to gain any advantage, and the same would be true if she went to the Holy Spirit Continent.
As Pang Lin's biological brother, Pang Jian is not only the world god of this generation, but now he has successfully become a god in the immortal realm, which undoubtedly gives her another strong support.
Because she loves Pang Jian and his family, she will do her best to benefit Pang Jian and Jian Lou.
"It seems there is no objection."
Seeing that no one among the remaining gods spoke up to object, she knew that the matter was settled and there would be no more twists and turns or accidents.
So, she disappeared together with Lin Qiyang from the Pure Land.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
Li Yuanli, Dong Shangqing, Tiandu Sanren, Yin Ji, Jiang Fan, and some other true gods did not even express any opinions, but also extracted a part of their souls one after another.
In the end, apart from King Li, there were only two true gods left in the stone pillars in the observatory.
The Ghost Mother, and Zhu Ji of the Haotian Divine Kingdom.
Zhu Ji, who is short and stocky, with an unremarkable appearance and only a divine shadow, has always been a staunch supporter behind King Li.
He, Guimu and Su Wanrou are recognized as the top three gods in terms of combat power.
It is precisely because he and the Ghost Mother, the two strongest true gods, have always agreed with King Li's planning and layout of the general situation of this world that King Li's nominal leadership status was established.
He is usually very frugal with words and doesn't talk much.
In most of the True God Councils convened by King Li, he was the silent party.
Many times, he would quietly withdraw his mind in the middle of a meeting, and a few times he would listen from beginning to end and then leave without saying a word.
And this time, when the gods left, he stayed behind, which was rare.
It was also because of this that King Li and the Ghost Mother both looked at the stone pillar where his soul resided with a little surprise, waiting for him to speak actively.
"In addition to being the first person to be deified in the Immortal Realm, he is also the first person to successfully forge the path to godhood with the Great Dao of Chaos."
"His spirit that was separated from his flesh and blood body is a materialized thing just like ours. The difference is that after our spirit leaves the body, it is difficult to directly draw power from it."
"Our spirits carry power with them. Once they are exhausted, they need to return to the body and be refilled from the treasures within the body."
"But he doesn't need to do that. His spirit can exist independently and can truly abandon flesh and blood."
"This is the first person who can be self-sufficient with his spirit."
After saying this, Zhu Ji’s shadow also disappeared from the stone pillar.
The truth revealed by these words is exactly what has been overlooked by the true gods.
The lake created by King Li can only illuminate the scene of that area. The gods cannot sense that external forces are constantly entering Pang Jian's immortal soul simply through the picture.
"Self-sufficient, independent existence, completely abandoning flesh and blood." The ghost mother's voice was cold and sad. She pondered: "The ultimate avenue of the Ghost Sacrifice Sect's soul art also pursues this form. Unfortunately, I still can't do it."
"Anyone who can solidify his soul and completely discard his physical body is either a ghost cultivator or a ghost god."
“But ghost cultivators are illusory spirits, and the gods of the ghost clan do not belong to the purgatory world. Whether ghost cultivators can use their illusory spirits to guide the gods and thus forge a new path to godhood has always been an unsolved mystery.”
"No, this road is blocked, it shouldn't be like this..."
The ghost mother talked to herself, and she seemed a little crazy.
After a moment's silence, King Li suddenly stood up and went to the stone pillar representing Fanao and began to re-engraving the array, preparing to welcome Pang Jian's soul to move in soon.
This action also shows that he has admitted that Pang Jian is qualified to be on an equal footing with them.
…
Sword Tower.
In the main hall of Mojian Peak, in front of a table full of delicious food, Li Zhaotian devoured the food in no time.
He didn't use chopsticks, but just used his hands to eat, biting roughly on the roasted, brown and greasy animal leg meat, leaving his mouth full of grease.
Among a pile of bones was the sword order that belonged to him, but he turned a blind eye to it.
On his left and right sides stood Chen Weihuang and Hu Yuanfei, and in front of him sat Immortal Realm elders such as Guanghe, Xu Wei, Cai Xin, Lu Xiaolin and Shi Bingyun.
Zhou Wenhao was also among them.
Except for him, everyone else held the sword order and kept in touch with Liu Junhong and Wang Ce, waiting for the two elders to deliver the latest news on the battle.
This battle not only concerns Pang Jian, but also the glory of Jianlou!
When Jianlou made it clear to the true gods that Pang Jian had been successfully deified and Jianlou could formally move to the homeland of the First Realm according to the rules, King Li did not give a specific reply.
King Li is a leader recognized by both Guimu and Zhu Ji, and many true gods believe in him. His attitude can determine the direction of the Sword Tower.
If he doesn't express his opinion, Jianlou will not be able to take any high-profile action.
Li Chu personally went to the Rock Broken Land and beat Pang Jian in the name of helping him to hone his realm, which made many elders of the Sword Tower furious.
They all thought that Li Chu was still resentful of the past, so they repeated their old tricks and once again bullied the weak.
That's how he treated Li Zhaotian back then.
Just when they were about to protest to the true gods in the observatory, Li Zhaotian stopped them with just one sentence.
"It's just Li Chu. Even after my attempt to become a True God failed due to an accident, I still have the confidence to defeat him. How much more so for Pang Jian who is even more powerful than me?"
This extremely arrogant statement suppressed the elders of the Sword Tower and made them willing to wait and see what would happen.
But their anxiety, worry and boredom continue to ferment in their hearts.
They were afraid that Pang Jian, the immortal sword god, would be defeated by Li Chu.
After Li Zhaotian's failure in becoming a god, the morale of the Sword Tower plummeted. They could not bear such blows again and again.
The most powerful sects in the First Realm and some practitioners of the new era believed that the reputation of the Sword Tower in the past was exaggerated and they all doubted the power of the Sword God.
The Sword God has not appeared in the world for a long, long time and only exists in legends and myths.
But in most cases, legends and myths cannot be fully trusted as they contain too much water.
Some people think the same is true for Sword God and Sword Tower.
The elders urgently need to restore the reputation of the Sword Tower through this battle!
They secretly hoped that Pang Jian and Li Chu could fight on equal terms so that he could solidify his status as the new generation Sword God.
Only in this way can the Sword Tower rise again.
Just when they were all getting anxious, the fat guy kept eating to his heart's content and threw the sword order aside, which made them feel infinite resentment.
However, due to the fat guy's status and power as the poster, they did not dare to attack.
So they could only wait for Liu Junhong and Wang Ce to send a message.
After a long period of agony, all the food on Li Zhaotian's table had been eaten by him.
He burped with satisfaction and said lazily, "Whether or not to move the Sword Tower to the First Realm should be our own choice. If they allow it, we can choose not to go, or we can choose to stay and continue to fight."
"But we have to have this choice!"
Li Zhaotian snorted and said, "Today, they must give us this choice."
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
The sword orders rang out in the hall, and everyone was shocked. They were all busy and immersed in their spiritual consciousness, anxious to catch the latest news.
Li Zhaotian didn't even look at Jian Ling next to him. As he was drinking from a bucket of wine, he heard Guanghe, Xu Wei, Cai Xin and other elders in the hall shouting.
"It turns out that we were not evenly matched. That kid pierced through Li Chu's divine form with his sword. His victory was fair and square!"
"Haha, Li Chu is indeed the weathervane of our Sword Tower's rise. It was like this back then, and it is still like this now!"
…
My child at home had a cold and fever, the flu, so I took him to the hospital in the morning, so both chapters are in the afternoon.
Generally speaking, if there is no update at the normal time, there must be some kind of accident~~
The flu is quite severe recently, everyone should pay attention. While many of my friends have been infected, I am still safe and sound.
