"It is said that the medicinal properties of the Emperor's Pill are very strong, like burning the body with fire. Why is the medicinal property of the one you refined so peaceful, without even a hint of violence?"
Li Lingge's thumb gently brushed the corner of Zi Shuhe's mouth.
"This is the difference between a 100% effective drug and an 80% effective drug."
Zi Shuhe felt that the immortal power in his body, under the guidance of the medicinal liquid, gradually gathered in his dantian, like a trickle of water, slowly flowing into a calm lake.
As time went on, her dantian began to tremble slightly.
She closed her eyes and concentrated, sinking her mind into her body, carefully feeling every change in her immortal power.
Suddenly, she noticed that her immortal power began to fluctuate in a strange rhythm, as if echoing some kind of power of heaven and earth.
"This is... an opportunity for a breakthrough!"
Zi Shuhe was delighted and immediately calmed his mind and focused on guiding his spiritual power.
As he thought about it, his immortal energy became more and more abundant, as if small streams converged into a river, and finally turned into a huge wave, impacting the invisible barrier.
"boom--"
A loud bang exploded in Zi Shuhe's mind, as if the world was just created and all things were reborn.
She felt that her soul was sublimated at this moment, as if it had merged with the heaven and earth.
The immortal power in the body broke through the limit at this moment and turned into a vast ocean, boundless.
"The second level of Immortal Emperor!"
Zi Shuhe slowly opened his eyes, and a gleam of brilliance flashed in them.
"This Emperor Feng Dan is truly magical. It allowed me to break through the realm so easily."
Zi Shuhe was filled with emotion. The 100% effective Emperor Feng Dan not only had a mild medicinal property, but also contained the purest power in the world, which allowed her to break through to the second level of the Immortal Emperor in such a short time.
Li Lingge just stood there without moving, but some parts of his body moved.
A huge shadow fell on Zi Shuhe's face. She bit her thin lips with her silver teeth and whispered.
"Is there still...remnant of the Difeng Dan medicine?"
The next moment, Li Lingge raised his head slightly, closed his eyes and took a breath.
…
Sword Sect.
The Sword Sect seemed more lively today than usual. A high platform had already been erected on the top of the main peak, with flags fluttering all around. The Sword Sect's symbol - a silver-white sword - shone brightly in the sun.
The square was crowded with people. The disciples of the Sword Sect were wearing uniform white sword robes. They looked solemn, but they could not hide their excitement.
In the distance, among the misty mountains, the long tolling of bells could be heard from time to time.
"Why is it so lively today?"
A young disciple of the Sword Sect looked around, his eyes full of confusion.
He had just joined the sect and knew very little about the major events within the sect.
An older brother beside him heard this and patted him on the shoulder.
"Today is the day when our Holy Son and Yueying Sect's son Shuhe will fight."
"Zi Shuhe?" The young disciple frowned slightly, then suddenly realized, "Is he the elder of the Moon Shadow Sect who made a battle pact with the Holy Son three hundred years ago?"
"Exactly." The senior brother nodded, a hint of emotion in his eyes, "I didn't expect that three hundred years would pass so quickly."
The young disciple's heart was overwhelmed when he heard this, and he couldn't help but tighten the hilt of the sword in his hand.
"Wouldn't today be a world-shattering battle?"
The senior brother smiled, did not answer, but just looked up into the distance.
Several streaks of light flashed across the sky, accompanied by bursts of sounds of breaking through the air. Guests came to visit the Sword Sect one after another.
These people were either flying on swords or riding on clouds. They were all elders and saints from major sects, and there were even some independent cultivators who had secluded themselves from the world.
Obviously, the news of this battle had spread all over the world, attracting countless people to watch.
Today's event is not only the peak showdown between the Holy Son Ji Wuming and Zi Shuhe, but also an excellent opportunity for the Sword Sect to show its strength to the world.
The sect had already made preparations and was determined to take this opportunity to build momentum for Ji Wuming.
On the high platform, Tunan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep, as if he could penetrate the clouds and reach the sky.
On one side of the platform, Ji Wuming, dressed in black, holding the Overlord Sword, stood there quietly.
His eyes were calm as water, yet they faintly revealed a sharp sword intent, like a sword about to be unsheathed, its edge fully exposed.
Today's battle is not only about personal honor and disgrace, but also about the future of the Sword Sect.
"Zi Shuhe, this time I will make sure you never come back."
In the square, the discussions gradually died down, and everyone's attention was focused on the outside of the mountain gate.
The air was filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere, as if even the wind had stopped.
In the distance, four dark shadows slowly emerged.
In front of the Sword Sect's mountain gate, a long staircase winds up into the sky, like a giant dragon entwined in the mountains.
This is the world-famous "Cloud Stairs". Legend has it that there are 9,999 steps in total, and each step contains the sword intent and pressure of the ancestors of the Sword Sect.
If ordinary cultivators want to reach the top, they must have no distractions and take every step carefully. If they are not careful, they will be injured by the sword energy on the steps. At the very least, their minds will be frustrated, and at the worst, their cultivation will be completely ruined.
Just as Zi Shuhe appeared outside the Sword Sect's mountain gate, an invisible barrier suddenly condensed in the sky, like a transparent sky curtain, covering the entire Sword Sect.
Outside the barrier, the wind is blowing and the clouds are surging, but inside the barrier, there is a solemn and quiet atmosphere.
The only entrance to the barrier is the starting point of the cloud steps.
Obviously, this was a show of force given to Zi Shuhe by the Sword Sect - if one wanted to enter the Sword Sect, he could only walk up step by step through the cloud steps and could not fly in the air.
Li Lingge stood in front of the mountain gate and looked up at the stairs that went straight into the sky.
"Sword Sect, I didn't expect a group of sword cultivators to be so petty."
