Chapter 637: Chapter 55 Ascending, Magnate, Swordsman, Legend_3

Then, turning to the side, he simply reached out towards the interior and said, "Marquis Qin Wu."

"Please."

Li Guanyi stretched out his hand, the Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd howling. Suddenly, his wrist twisted, sweeping the weapon horizontally, unleashing a gust of jin qi like a slicing storm, and then the Divine Weapon pointed ahead.

The voracious maw of the tiger spewed out the sharp halberd blade, screeching intensely as it moved at high speed.

Its sharp point directed at the Star-picking Tower, not far from the neck of the Grand Steward eunuch, caused the surrounding armored soldiers’ expressions to abruptly change. Weapons howled, the solemn sound of armor colliding was incessant; Li Guanyi was no Sword Madman, faced with thousands of the imperial guard, death was certain.

Jiang Yuan’s complexion was already flushed, a raging fury fueled by powerful backing, giving him the confidence and brazenness to show, but the young general’s face remained unchanged.

In the face of thousands, his expression was unaltered.

Li Guanyi’s wrist twisted once more.

The Battle Halberd suddenly plunged into the ground.

The ground cracked, the tiger’s roar ceaseless; he slowly retracted his hand and said:

"Lead the way."

The eunuch was stunned, looking at the youngster who left the Divine Weapon under the Star-picking Tower, somehow sensing a breadth and boldness similar to Emperor Ying’s, one who could halt entire armies with a shout, waiting calmly for guests, while the other faced the troops unflinchingly, leaving the Divine Weapon below the tower.

He remained silent for a long time, then suddenly understood why his Lord cherished him so.

The blood of the world’s heroes, like a great wind, could never die.

He bowed, lowering his eyes, his face donning a respectful look, softly saying:

"The Lord is above, waiting for you."

Jiang Yuan hurried over, saying, "Grand Steward, my father..."

Jiang Yuan was stopped by the eunuch’s outstretched arm.

The normally smiling and gentle Grand Steward now had a calm gaze:

"His Majesty did not permit Your Highness to enter."

Jiang Yuan was stunned, pointing at Li Guanyi, incredulous:

"He can, but I can’t?!"

Jiang Yuan, in great anger and reluctant: "I am the son of my father and mother! I am a Prince of Daying, where in this world can I not go?!"

The Grand Steward replied: "You are not enough."

Jiang Yuan’s motion halted, and the Grand Steward, gazing at the prince, answered:

"This is a conversation between marquises and heroic rulers, only the eldest legitimate son may observe. Your identity and boldness are insufficient to ascend here, Your Highness, take a step back, do not make His Majesty speak a second time."

"His Majesty is serious."

Jiang Yuan fell silent, shocked and fearful.

Then he stepped back.

Thus, he did not see the regret and sigh in the depths of the Grand Steward’s eyes, who had fought side by side with his father.

Wise and cunning, yet without sufficient reckless boldness.

The young general in plain clothing ascended the Star-picking Tower.

The soldiers of the Imperial Army bowed their heads, solemn; Li Guanyi could feel that a dragon-like person was seated at the tower’s highest level, exuding an oppressive aura naturally, making it difficult for the ordinary person to ascend, and those with weaker martial arts unable to approach.

But it’s only those with martial arts without boldness who find it difficult to face the ruler of the world.

Li Guanyi proceeded calmly.

This was the presence of an emperor who rose from obscurity, galloped throughout his life, seized the Central Plains, and breathed the spirit of the world, as if connected to the fate of the nation. And to sit before such a person, he too had to reveal his true nature.

As if silk were torn apart, at the moment of his calm ascension.

Under the imposing pressure of the world-dominating ruler of the Central Plains, Li Guanyi’s mind and spirit became clear, like being repeatedly forged, and his Inner Qi, already filled to the brim of the Second Layer Heaven, began to circulate rapidly.

And the Primordial Spirit followed suit.

The Primordial Spirit of the Fourth Layer Heaven and the so-called Second Layer Heaven Inner Qi collided.

A rapid transformation began as Li Guanyi steadily ascended.

The sound of the dragon’s roar and the tiger’s howl grew louder; at first, people thought it was Li Guanyi’s martial arts skill, but now it became increasingly real. The Grand Steward looked up towards the high tower, where the White Tiger and Red Dragon appeared one after the other and then dispersed.

The place seemed to transform into a myth, rich in Primordial Qi, the White Tiger pressing its paws, the Red Dragon’s long chant, and finally, all converged and dispersed intermittently, transforming into a Qilin.

Martial Arts Third Layer Heaven, breakthrough!

Martial Arts, Fourth Layer Heaven!

Reserve God Rank, breakthrough!

Divine Charm Stage, breakthrough!

Martial Arts Fourth Layer Heaven Perfection!

Finally, Li Guanyi reached the top. He saw a portrait of a beautiful woman, and behind it, at the highest place, where one could overlook Ying Country and even the whole world, an aged elder sat quietly.

"You’ve come, Li Guanyi."

He smiled, composed and serene, like an ancient dragon.

Before him was a chessboard, a pot of wine, and two cups.

He seemed to believe from the start that Li Guanyi would get here, smiling calmly:

"Murong Longtu said he wanted to drink, I have wine here, just waiting for you to come."

Li Guanyi took a step forward, and the roar of the Qilin suddenly intensified until it reached a level everyone could clearly hear. Ji Yanzhong held the Sword Box with the Chi Xiao Sword howling violently, much like the Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd at the front of the Star-picking Tower.

Ji Yanzhong was overwhelmed with emotion.

Looking up to the highest point.

The Fire and Earth Auspicious Qilin took strides, and the dark dragon slowly coiled.

Martial Arts, Five-layered Heaven!

Jiang Yuan felt as if his strength was being drained, watching helplessly as the so-called Second Layer Heaven martial artist ascended step by step, tearing off the facade and revealing fangs and claws. Li Guanyi, who had been taught since childhood by Murong Qiushui to prioritize the Primordial Spirit, mixing Inner Qi, with guidance from Sword Madman, fought fiercely all the way up and finally revealed his true self.
