At this moment, Li Beifei and the others also arrived at the city gate of Heavenly Pool Holy City.
The city gate was magnificent and tall, with a majestic aura. Even though the city gate was wide open, it gave people a sense of inviolable sanctity. The city walls on both sides stretched into the distance, so far that one could not see the end at a glance.
The knife marks and sword holes remaining on the city wall seemed to have someone wielding knives and swords in front of them, the powerful knife momentum and intent flowing from the city wall. The claw marks left by the ancient fierce beasts made people feel a creepy sense of horror, as if ancient fierce beasts could leap from the wall at any time, choosing people to devour.
"The aura of this city is very ancient, but why do the scars on the city wall look so new, as if they were just left?"
Someone raised a question. The city clearly exuded an extremely ancient aura, but it gave people a feeling of being "new."
"There's something strange!" Someone felt uneasy and had the intention of retreating. The Holy Emperor's envoy had already said that there were many deadly dangers in the city. Although the opportunities were good, most people would choose the latter compared to their lives.
However, since some people had the idea of retreating, there were naturally others who forged ahead bravely, unafraid of life and death.
"Hmph! Hesitating and looking back, you are not worthy of climbing to the peak!"
The speaker was a middle-aged man. His cultivation had reached the peak of the Carefree Realm, and he could be considered a local tyrant in Heavenly Pool Ancient Star. He had a resolute face and cold eyes, and he was very disdainful of those who had the intention of retreating.
"Fellow Daoist, you are wrong. It is better to be cautious in dealing with people and things!"
A voice rang out.
"Who is speaking?" The man frowned and turned to look in the direction of the voice, only to see a man in white.
"Who are you?" The man asked.
"You don't recognize me?" Li Beifei looked at him in surprise. It stands to reason that his reputation as a Sword Immortal was well-known, so there was no reason why anyone wouldn't recognize him, right?
In fact, it's not the man's fault, because most of the people who were able to watch his battle with Aotian were Saint cultivators, and those who were able to enter the extraterritorial starry sky to watch the battle below the Saint level were either rich or noble.
This did not include the middle-aged man in front of him.
"Are you famous?" The man frowned slightly. After thinking about it, he still couldn't figure out who the person in front of him was.
"It's him!"
"Sword Immortal Li Beifei!"
"He is the man who defeated Aotian."
"Bah, what are you talking about? He is the one who defeated Aotian, not the man of the man who defeated Aotian."
"Wow... he's here. Is the Green-Clad Fairy also here?"
"It is said that the Green-Clad Fairy, the Red-Clad Fairy, the Jade Pool Fairy, and the Heavenly Eye Princess are all friends. Maybe they are all here. Wow... to be able to see four fairies at once, this will be a feast for the eyes."
"It would be great if the two city lords of Jade Water City were also here. It is said that they do not belong to the Four Fairies. I really want to see them."
...
At first, Li Beifei was very satisfied that someone recognized him. It was not in vain for him to come out and show off, but listening to the topics discussed by others, first leaning towards Qingyi, then his senior sisters, and finally even involving Gu Huaiyu and Lu Chengfeng, his mood instantly turned from sunny to cloudy.
He really wanted to say: Hey, the one standing in front of you is the contemporary Sword Immortal, do you understand Sword Immortal? If you say a few nice words, it is very likely that I will be happy and shake out some Supreme Sword Techniques.
But in the end, he didn't say that.
Supreme Sword Technique is still very precious, and only the closest people can be taught it.
When the middle-aged man learned that the person in front of him was the legendary Sword Immortal, he immediately knelt down with a plop and kowtowed three times.
"Uh... I didn't mean to blame you, get up quickly!"
Li Beifei was immediately embarrassed. Even if you don't recognize me, you don't have to give such a big gift, right? If some people who don't like him know about it, they will definitely say that he is bullying others. If the old guy knows about this, he will inevitably be beaten.
Moreover, he himself does not like to bully others. Otherwise, after learning about the Holy Emperor Palace, he would have been saying all over the universe that he was the Holy Emperor's direct disciple. Wouldn't that be majestic?
However, this is seriously inconsistent with his survival之道, low-key and cautious is suitable for him.
However, it is also good to occasionally show off and pretend to be forceful.
When the man heard Li Beifei's words, he didn't get up, but kowtowed three more times.
Li Beifei was helpless and was about to force him up when the man spoke.
"Junior Lin Qingyu was fortunate enough to receive guidance from Sword Immortal's sword intent. Today, I didn't recognize your presence. Junior is at fault!"
Lin Qingyu still had a firm face, but his eyes were full of admiration and respect.
Li Beifei was stunned. It was the first time he had seen someone look at him with such eyes.
"You get up and talk first," Li Beifei said.
"Thank you, Senior!" Lin Qingyu said gratefully.
If you exclude the thousands of years that Li Beifei spent in the tomb of Emperor Hongshi, Lin Qingyu's age is much older than Li Beifei's, but Lin Qingyu's "Senior" was called very sincerely, without any falsehood.
There is a sequence in learning, and the accomplished are teachers!
Li Beifei's cultivation was too much higher than him, and he had received Li Beifei's favor, so it was reasonable to call Li Beifei Senior.
On the other side, Bai Yifei and the others concealed their aura, and the women even disguised themselves so as not to cause a sensation.
"Boss is worthy of being the boss. As soon as he goes out, he receives a fanboy, although this fanboy is a bit old," Xuan Mingzi said enviously.
"Yes, Big Brother is really amazing," Duan Fei gave a thumbs up.
The others looked at the two of them, one called Li Beifei Boss, and the other called Li Beifei Big Brother. No wonder they were as close as brothers without blood relationship. They were flattering almost the same.
"Sister, Young Master is really amazing!"
"Mmm, mmm!"
At this time, Liu Yuran and Liu Yanran also spoke.
"..." Everyone.
Mu Qingyi looked at them with a wry smile. In terms of age, they were a few years older than her, but Beifei protected them too well. When facing Beifei, their temperament was still like that of a girl in her twenties, pure!
No wonder Beifei was reluctant to part with them. Even she felt pity for such a pure girl.
Here, Li Beifei finally knew why Lin Qingyu said that he had received guidance from his sword intent.
It was all because of his battle with Aotian. He borrowed swords from all spirits of Heavenly Pool Ancient Star, condensed the long river of swordsmanship, and became the Qiankun Sword.
Of course, on the surface, it was borrowing, but in fact, it was robbing, because those swords were broken when he waved the Qiankun Sword.
Scattered in the ocean of Heavenly Pool Ancient Star, these broken swords were also stained with his sword intent. Lin Qingyu was also a sword cultivator, and he was fortunate enough to obtain half of a broken sword, from which he gained some insights. His cultivation suddenly broke through from the seventh level of the Carefree Realm to the peak of the Carefree Realm, and even vaguely realized the Saint's aura.
Originally, with his talent, the hope of becoming a saint was extremely slim, but since he obtained half of the broken sword, his understanding of swordsmanship has been advancing by leaps and bounds, and his swordsmanship cultivation has broken through one after another.
For him, the Sword Immortal had the grace of recreating him, so he kowtowed three times and then kowtowed three more times.
The first three were to apologize for his tone just now, and the last three were purely for gratitude.
After listening to this, a trace of emotion flashed across Li Beifei's face. He didn't expect that those broken swords could still allow people to gain some insights, but after the emotion, it was gratification.
Yes, it was gratification.
He had a feeling that he was not alone.
In the mortal world, his swordsmanship was already ahead of most people, and he was the reincarnation of Li Beichen. Although he no longer had Li Beichen's memory, he also had some ambitions in his heart for the inheritance of swordsmanship.
He would not say that everyone can become a Sword Immortal, but he was very willing to give others some help in swordsmanship.
"This is all your chance, it has little to do with me!" Li Beifei rarely became modest.
Lin Qingyu still wanted to say something, but suddenly, a scream came from the city.
"Ah..."
It turned out that someone had entered the city, but was slapped to death by a huge beast claw.
Lin Qingyu's pupils shrank. Although the person who entered the city had already fallen, his aura still remained in the void. That was a Saint.
And the huge beast claw also exuded the power of a Saint, and it was also a fierce beast that had reached the Saint realm.
"As I thought."
Li Beifei looked at the huge beast claw and muttered.
Then, Li Beifei looked at Lin Qingyu and said, "You have also seen that although swordsmanship requires courage, strength is not something that can be made up for by courage. If you are really grateful to me, then leave, this is not a place you can break into."
"..."
Lin Qingyu was silent for a while, and said, "Thank you, Senior!"
After speaking, he took a deep look at Heavenly Pool Holy City, turned around and left, disappearing into the sky.
Li Beifei then returned to Bai Yifei and the others.
"We guessed right, there really are creatures from the Heaven Realm inside," Li Beifei said.
According to what the old guy said, as long as this city enters a sealed state, the time inside will be in a static state, so they speculated whether there would be creatures from the ancient Heaven Realm of the mortal world.
Now it seems that there really are.
And it is still very powerful. The cultivation of the fierce beast just now was only the first level of the Saint, but it was able to kill a cultivator who was also at the first level of the Saint.
It can only be said that it is worthy of being a creature from the Heaven Realm, not something that ordinary people can compare with.
Li Beifei then said to Liu Yanran, Liu Yuran, Duanmu Yun, Yi Jifeng, and Yang Fan, "Your cultivation is not enough, so don't go in this time."
"Yes!"
Although the few people felt regret, none of them refused. They would probably become a burden if they went in.
"Then... let's go in!"
After speaking, Li Beifei's Tianshu Sword had already been unsheathed, and he took the lead and rushed into the city gate.
...
