"Qingyang Village."
Below the "Thousand-Year Banyan Tree."
A young man is meditating.
He sits cross-legged, eyes tightly shut, emitting a "Resonant Sword Intent."
His entire being is like a peerless divine sword being nurtured within its sheath!
This person is none other than the leader of the "First Generation Sword Tenant," wielder of the acquired spiritual treasure "Carefree Immortal Sword," creator of the "Sword Come Sword Intent," who annihilated the "Nascent Soul Tribulation" with a single sword strike, and is known to the world as "Brother Xiaoyao," Li Xiaoyao.
Ever since Li Xiaoyao broke through to the "Nascent Soul Realm," he has been in seclusion beneath the "Qingyang Village Great Banyan Tree."
He has been in seclusion for over a month!
This seclusion is of immense significance to Li Xiaoyao, both to consolidate the "Nascent Soul Realm" and to perfect his "Sword Come Sword Intent."
Upon the completion of this seclusion, Li Xiaoyao's combat power will ascend another level, making it effortless to defeat a "Spirit Severing Ancestor" while in the "Nascent Soul Realm"!
"Challenging across realms" is truly awe-inspiring, magnificent!
"Master…"
"Mad Beggar" softly called out, looking at Li Xiaoyao meditating in seclusion.
Li Xiaoyao's six senses were closed, immersed in the "enlightenment of seclusion," and he showed no reaction to the outside world.
"Mad Beggar's" eyes flickered with a hint of disappointment.
"Alas, another day of failure!"
"It seems Master won't be emerging from seclusion anytime soon!"
"Never mind, let's go eat the harvest feast!"
"Oh, Sister Ling'er, you're here too! Are you here to take care of my Master again? Hee hee, your devotion is truly touching, I support you!"
…
"Mad Beggar" uttered a string of "crazy talk," even switching to a "sweet and cute" female voice in the end.
Anyone else would have been scared away by now.
However, the woman standing opposite "Mad Beggar" seemed accustomed to it, unfazed. She even greeted "Mad Beggar" with a smile.
"Ah Qiu Men, hello!"
Although "Mad Beggar" was alone, the woman addressed him as "you all."
"Mad Beggar" seemed to relish it and greeted the woman with a smile.
"Ling'er, hello!"
"Ling'er, hello!"
"Ling'er, hello!"
…
The greeting was repeated over three thousand times.
All three thousand-plus personalities within "Mad Beggar" had greeted the woman.
The scene was indescribably "bizarre"!
After patiently finishing her greetings with "Mad Beggar," the woman returned to tending to Li Xiaoyao.
She extended her large, fan-like hand and gently wiped the sweat from Li Xiaoyao's forehead.
Her movements were strong and vigorous, befitting her broad-shouldered, muscular "mighty warrior" physique!
If Hao Ren were here, he would surely recognize the woman's identity: "Heroine Aunt"!
Well, alright, "Heroine Aunt" actually had a very soft and cute name, Ling'er!
"Brother Xiaoyao" and "Ling'er"!
A destined love for three lifetimes!
Regardless of what Li Xiaoyao thought, from the moment "Heroine Aunt" saw him, she fell deeply in love, irrecoverably, hopelessly!
Since Li Xiaoyao began his seclusion, "Heroine Aunt" had been by his side, caring for him without leaving.
This true affection was moving!
Li Xiaoyao, in his seclusion, seemed to sense Ling'er's "true affection," occasionally twitching his body... perhaps that was also a sign of being "moved," right? It should be, right!
"Mad Beggar" waited for a while longer, seeing no signs of Li Xiaoyao emerging from seclusion, he gradually lost patience and prepared to leave.
As "Mad Beggar" took two steps, a sword cry like a dragon's roar suddenly came from behind him.
*Clang!*
The sound was filled with boundless sharpness!
A sword's light chilled nineteen states!
The mere sound of the sword's鸣 dispersed the clouds within a hundred-mile radius, and the previously gloomy weather instantly turned sunny and bright!
This, this is…
"Mad Beggar's" eyes lit up. He realized something and suddenly turned his head, looking towards the spot where Li Xiaoyao was in seclusion.
At some point, Li Xiaoyao had opened his eyes.
His eyes shot out divine radiance, like a peerless divine sword unsheathed.
Unrivaled sharpness!
*Whoosh!*
A sword light rose from Li Xiaoyao.
The "Carefree Immortal Sword" erupted with the mighty aura of an acquired spiritual treasure, soaring like a dragon!
Li Xiaoyao calmly formed a sword seal and slowly exhaled.
"Sword Come!"
The voice was not loud, but it seemed to embody the infinite "truth of the sword," and the powerful "Sword Come Sword Intent" erupted.
The "Sword Come Sword Intent" and the "Carefree Immortal Sword" merged perfectly, complementing each other, instantly integrating.
The immortal sword enhanced the sword intent, and the sword intent empowered the immortal sword!
In an instant, endless sharp sword energy swept out like a torrential flood, transforming the surroundings into a "sea of sword energy"!
Powerful, sharp, and disdainful of all living beings!
In an instant, the entire "Eastern Wilderness Mountain Range" was shaken.
Countless "flying swords and magic treasures" vibrated and hummed, as if losing control and about to take flight.
What, what is happening?
Could it be that the magnificent spectacle of "ten thousand swords flying" from a month ago was about to reappear?
The cultivators in the "Eastern Wilderness Mountain Range" were greatly astonished!
However, this anomaly soon ended.
Li Xiaoyao stood up.
He retracted his sword seal.
*Clang!*
The "Carefree Immortal Sword" retracted its sword light and flew back into his hand.
Simultaneously, the "Sword Come Sword Intent" also receded.
The restless "flying swords and magic treasures" throughout the "Eastern Wilderness Mountain Range" gradually settled down, ceasing their unusual movements.
Everything returned to peace!
Under control at will!
Li Xiaoyao's "sword dao realm" had made significant progress once again.
He himself was very satisfied and nodded with a smile.
Well, not bad!
"Brother Xiaoyao!"
Just as Li Xiaoyao was in a cheerful mood, rejoicing in the advancement of his "sword dao," a "tiger's roar" sounded.
The voice was deep and powerful, shaking the entire "Thousand-Year Old Banyan Tree" and causing countless leaves to fall.
Where did this monster come from?
Li Xiaoyao was startled, taken aback!
He instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.
Then, Li Xiaoyao saw a "burly figure" charging forward with the aura of a "man who could defeat ten thousand enemies."
*Bang!*
The "burly figure" tightly hugged Li Xiaoyao, giving him a big "bear hug."
The hug was so tight that Li Xiaoyao could clearly feel the bulging muscles and robust physique of the other person.
Good sir, let's talk properly, there's no need for physical contact!
Li Xiaoyao almost drew his sword to kill this "burly figure," but sensing no malice and no fluctuations of true essence, realizing it was a normal person, he refrained from acting!
So, who exactly is making physical contact with me?
Li Xiaoyao looked closely.
