The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 851 - 849: Return to the Miracle Ridge

Chapter 851: Chapter 849: Return to the Miracle Ridge

Seven days later, the spirit boat of the Dan Dao Courtyard slowly docked at the spirit boat plaza of the Dan Dao Courtyard.

Lin Bai, on the other hand, took Gu Yueqing back to the Purple Bamboo Grove to heal her injuries.

Lin Bai didn’t leave immediately but waited there, after all, he still had to teach Gu Yueqing how to refine the Human Emperor Elixir.

But Gu Yueqing had exhausted too much of her mind and spirit to help Lin Bai refine the Heaven Repairing Pill, and now she wouldn’t be able to recover in less than half a month.

Knife Dao Sect.

"Qing’er has returned?"

The moment Lin Bai and Gu Yueqing returned to the Dan Dao Courtyard, Qiu Yukui, the chief disciple of the Dan Dao Courtyard, received the news.

A warrior said to Qiu Yukui, "Yes, Senior Brother, and after Miss Gu Yueqing came out from the spirit boat plaza of the Dan Dao Courtyard, she was supported by Lin Bai all the way back to the Purple Bamboo Grove. It looked like Senior Sister Gu Yueqing was injured."

Qiu Yukui’s mind was immediately agitated, "What! Qing’er is injured as well!"

"Let’s go, I must go to the Dan Dao Courtyard immediately!"

As he spoke, Qiu Yukui headed for the Dan Dao Courtyard.

Gu Yueqing was healing in the house.

Lin Bai sat outside Gu Yueqing’s bamboo hut, sitting cross-legged.

Within Lin Bai’s dantian, a divine elixir radiating five-colored light was slowly rotating; with each rotation, a torrent of spiritual power spread around Lin Bai.

After running "The Great Five Elements Secret Skill" for more than a dozen cycles, Lin Bai finally ceased his practice, his face showing a hint of a smile.

"The Five Elements Divine Pill has finally condensed!"

"With my current strength, killing someone at the Third Layer of the Human Elixir Realm isn’t an issue."

"Back in the Lingfan Mountain Range, I didn’t hesitate to use the Five Elements Divine Pill at all costs to unleash ten times the power, giving me the ability to battle against the strengths of the Fifth Layer of the Human Elixir Realm."

"But the price paid was too heavy, not only was the Five Elements Divine Pill damaged, but my dantian was directly hurt!"

"From now on, I still shouldn’t overly exert the power of the divine elixir!"

Lin Bai thought of the battle at the Lingfan Mountain Range, and fear still lingered in his heart to this day.

In that battle, Lin Bai almost utilized all the techniques he could muster, and in the end, he shattered his divine elixir to withstand the onslaught of the Giant God’s Intent.

"Moreover, I still have many techniques at my disposal!"

"The Great Desolation Skill is also a way to enhance my strength, albeit with side effects."

"Additionally, there is the Demonic Seed, but for the Demonic Seed to bloom, it must bloom on its own initiative!"

"That would be the biggest trump card I currently hold in my hands!"

"Whether it’s the Great Desolation Skill or the Demonic Seed Blooming, both can multiply my strength in an instant!"

"Especially when the Demonic Seed blooms, during the battle in the Lingfan Mountain Range, with the blooming of the Demonic Seed and the addition of the Demon Sword, I decapitated the Giant God’s skull with a single sword strike, such power was astonishing to all."

Lin Bai took a deep breath, slowly sorting out the techniques he now held in his hands.

"No, that’s not right!"

"When facing the Giant God’s Intent, it seemed that the Demon Flower had no intention of blooming."

"It was only when I held the Demon Sword that the Demonic Seed suddenly bloomed!"

"Could it be, the Demon Sword has the power to prompt the blooming of the Demonic Seed?"

Lin Bai suddenly remembered, under the crushing pressure of the Giant God’s Intent, he was completely overwhelmed, and the Demonic Seed did not show any reaction.

It was only when Lin Bai gripped the Demon Sword that the Demonic Seed bloomed!

"Could it really be that the Demon Sword has the power to induce the Demonic Seed to bloom?"

"If it really does, then couldn’t I control when the Demonic Seed blooms?"

Lin Bai thought, thrilled at the possibility.

"The Demon Sword was ultimately blasted away by a punch from the Giant God, its whereabouts unknown now!"

"However, judging by the direction of the Demon Sword’s flight, it should have entered the Primordial World within the Miracle Ridge!"

"The Demon Sword is something Senior Brother Ji Xiang left for me, and whether it has the power to bring the Demon Flower to full bloom or not, I must retrieve it!"

"Senior Brother Ji Xiang... the sword you left for me, I will keep it safe forever!"

Thinking of Ji Xiang now, Lin Bai felt a pang of pain in his heart.

If it weren’t for Ji Xiang taking a punch for Lin Bai and gifting him the Demon Sword, Lin Bai might not have survived the world-ending punch of the Giant God’s Intent in the Lingfan Mountain Range.

Towards Ji Xiang, Lin Bai’s heart was filled with gratitude and guilt.

Gratitude, because Ji Xiang had saved Lin Bai.

Guilt, because Ji Xiang had died for Lin Bai.

And the Demon Sword was the only legacy Ji Xiang left behind in this world, which Lin Bai was determined to reclaim.

A light breeze began to blow through the Purple Bamboo Grove.

Purple leaves from the bamboo in the grove fluttered down.

A bamboo leaf gently drifted past in front of Lin Bai.

Suddenly, the leaf gathered a sense of Martial Intent, instantly transforming into a blade-like sharpness, lunging at Lin Bai!

Lin Bai’s eyes changed with shock, and he rose swiftly into the air. A crisp sound of a sword rang out as he caught the Qingge Sword in his hand, and with a counterattack, the Sword Aura stirred the falling leaves throughout the Purple Bamboo Grove, bombarding a certain direction with ferocity.

The boundless momentum of the sword, along with its soaring Sword Intention, whipped up thousands of bamboo leaves, forming a colossal sword of bamboo leaves that slashed towards the grove.

This sword, infused with Lin Bai’s early-stage third-step Sword Intention, seemed to possess the power to destroy heaven and earth!

Boom—

Despite its boundless sharpness, the moment this huge sword of bamboo leaves struck towards the grove, it was immediately crushed by a terrifying force.

"A casual swing of your sword, yet it possesses power that rivals the third layer of the Human Elixir Realm!"

"Lin Bai, I hadn’t thought your mastery of the Sword Art was so formidable!"

At this moment, ripples spread through the Purple Bamboo Grove, and an old man, dressed in a purple gold dragon robe with black patterns, walked out with a smile.

"I pay my respects to the Dean of the Dan Dao Courtyard."

Lin Bai returned the gesture with a smile, sheathing his sword, and saluted Lu Qingyu with clasped hands.

Lu Qingyu laughed and said, "Dispense with the formalities. How went your trip to Elixir King City? Did everything go smoothly?"

Lin Bai laughed: "Hehe, the concoction of the Heaven Repairing Pill went very smoothly, but other things... not so much."

Lu Qingyu exclaimed, "The Heaven Repairing Pill has been concocted?"

Lin Bai nodded slightly.

Hiss—

Lu Qingyu looked at Lin Bai with a frightened gaze, his eyes widened with astonishment.

Heaven Repairing Pill! A King-Level Elixir!

It had indeed been concocted by Lin Bai and Gu Yueqing!

"Good! Good! Good! It’s great that it was concocted." Lu Qingyu repressed the excitement and joy in his heart, repeatedly praising the achievement.

Why was Lu Qingyu so overjoyed?

Because Gu Yueqing was his disciple, and now that Gu Yueqing had the ability to concoct King-Level Elixir, whether she did it alone or not, it would be extremely beneficial to her future practice of Dan Dao.

It could even save Gu Yueqing many detours and perhaps even allow her to become a King-Level Alchemist!

The student has surpassed the teacher! How could Lu Qingyu not be happy?

Lu Qingyu asked, "From the sound of it, it seems like your trip to Elixir King City wasn’t very peaceful? What happened? Did you encounter some trouble?"

"Was it Qiu Yukui causing problems?"

"If so, tell me, and I’ll have the dean of the Knife Dao Sect punish Qiu Yukui severely!"

In his speech, Lu Qingyu also bore some ill will towards Qiu Yukui.

Lin Bai laughed: "It wasn’t Qiu Yukui, but rather... the Five Poison Sect!"
