To be exact, it was the second chapter of the Scripture of the Taibai Sword, Taibai Sword Tactics.
There were only seven words in this chapter, but every stroke of each word was like a peerless sword technique, evolving an indescribable sword momentum in Yan Li's mind.
"The spirit is formless, forgetting the form. The sword is without a saint, forgetting the saint. Move a thousand blades, the swift sword leaves no trace, the wind is silent, the breath is like still water, the light is shadowless, the sea is full of rivers … "
The essence of hundreds of words, word by word, washed back and forth in the depths of Yan Li's soul.
He had seen too many exquisite sword momentum, and now was the time when he urgently needed to enrich the theory. The second chapter of the Scripture of the Sword was like a timely rain, supplementing his current realm. Of course, not every technique could be like the Hidden Sword Tactics, which could be cultivated when the realm of Spiritual God was not high enough.
After the Dragon God Ring finished transmitting the technique, it fell silent again.
Yan Li put away the Dragon God Ring and sat cross-legged on the ground to meditate.
Meditation was the instinct of every cultivator, and the powerful ones could even enter it in the midst of a fierce battle.
After checking, Yan Li found that the Fire Spirit Pearl was hidden in the depths of the Source Sea. It seemed that it had made up its mind to be a coward.
He simply ignored it and stopped visualizing. He took out the Dragon God Ring again and carefully observed it.
According to Gu Shiyu, Ji Wenyuan gave the order to kill the Bai Family in order to revive Shen Liuxian because the Dragon God Ring hid the secret of immortality.
After thinking about it carefully, whether it was Gu Shiyu or Li Boyong, each of the five of them could be regarded as prominent in Yongling. In other words, they might have the credit of slaughtering the Bai Family, which gave them the glory and wealth, but at the same time, they were serving the underworld.
Obviously, the one who told Ji Wenyuan this information should be the real mastermind, including the Black Mountain, which was also built by him. The dead Night King and others were just his watchdogs.
This person had hidden so deeply that it would not be easy to find him.
At present, all the clues were on Yu Youwei. He did not forget the mysterious man who appeared in the Crystal Palace under the Wolf God Pagoda. If he guessed correctly, that man was Ghost Sage Yang Youyun, who had been missing for many years.
Yu Youwei was the Pavilion Master of Heavenly Cloud Pavilion, and she had a close relationship with Yang Youyun. Therefore, it could be inferred that Yang Youyun was the mastermind behind the underworld. In that case, wasn't the underworld equivalent to the remnants of the sects?
Yan Li hadn't given it much thought before, but now that he thought about it carefully, he couldn't help but shiver all over. If his conjecture was true, many things could be linked together. For example, sending a spy to the Imperial Court. Wasn't the Grand Xia Empire precisely the target the remnant sects wanted to deal with?
However, even if this speculation was true, it would not be easy to find Yang Youyun's hiding place.
Yan Li had yet to realize how precious the clues he had were to Ji Tiansheng. However, he had never revealed them, and even Shen Liuyun had been kept in the dark by him.
Just as he was about to sort out his thoughts, he suddenly heard light footsteps behind him, followed by the shrill sound of something tearing through the air.
Without thinking, he twisted his upper body and unsheathed the Leaving Cliff Sword at the same time. In the chaotic world, his Origin Sea instantly boiled intensely. Five silver dragons soared into the sky from the flow channel of the elemental energy tide, propelling the majestic yuan qi.
His original intention was to draw his sword to block the sudden attack, but he suddenly felt a majestic yuan qi rushing to his right arm and then into the sword blade. With a light swish, a sword qi was spat out from the tip of the sword.
That shrill air-piercing sound suddenly stopped. Then, a white light flashed, and a muffled "Peng" sound rang out. The person who had just arrived took a step back, avoiding the scattered Sword Qi. Then, he let out a cry of surprise.
Yan Li fixed his eyes on the person who came and couldn't help but laugh, "Isn't this my Majesty? Why are you here? Could it be that you know this subject is not in the mood to sleep, so you came to accompany me? "
The person who came was Ji Tiansheng. She had long been accustomed to Yan Li's occasional inattentiveness. She slowly sheathed the umbrella blade and said, "When did you break through to the first grade?"
Yan Li was startled. Only then did he remember that the sword qi he had unleashed just now had left his body and hadn't triggered "Understanding". However, he was very sure that he hadn't broken through because five elemental energy tides wasn't enough to push the Spiritual God realm to the first grade martial artist realm.
"I didn't break through, but if you want to know why I can unleash sword qi, we can find a poetic and picturesque place to have an in-depth discussion."
Ji Tiansheng said coldly, "I have already given the order to seal off this place. What are you doing here?"
Yan Li felt a biting cold killing intent. He rolled his eyes and said sternly, "Your Majesty has bestowed upon this subject great honor. As a chancellor of the Supreme Court, this subject doesn't dare to forget his duty for even a moment. Tonight, when I was parading the streets, I found a suspicious person and followed him here. I didn't expect to be ambushed and suffered some injuries … "
At this point, he deliberately covered his chest and coughed twice.
"You're injured?" Ji Tiansheng took two steps forward, seemingly wanting to come up and check.
Yan Li was taken aback.
Ji Tiansheng seemed to realize that he had lost his composure and stopped again, saying, "This is a forbidden area, no one is allowed to enter. Don't recuperate here, I will have someone send you to the Imperial Academy of Medicine."
As he spoke, he was about to call for someone.
Yan Li hurriedly said, "Wait, wait, this subject is only lightly injured, there's no need to trouble Your Majesty. I'll leave now, I'll leave now …" He hurriedly got up from the ground, turned around, and left. No matter how one looked at it, it felt like he was fleeing.
Ji Tiansheng frowned slightly and raised his delicate hand. Yu Linglin turned into a stream of light and blocked Yan Li's path.
"This …" Yan Li turned around. "Does Your Majesty have any other instructions?"
Ji Tiansheng said coldly, "How dare you deceive the emperor!"
Yan Li blinked his eyes and said, "How did this subject deceive the emperor?"
Ji Tiansheng said coldly, "You're not injured."
Yan Li quickly coughed and said, "Your Majesty, this subject suffered internal injuries …"
Ji Tiansheng said, "Then why don't you go to the Imperial Academy of Medicine?"
Yan Li was instantly speechless. He didn't know why she wouldn't let go of such a small matter. He said, "There's really no need to trouble the experts of the Imperial Academy of Medicine for such a small injury."
Ji Tiansheng said, "It's not your style to not take advantage of an advantage. Could it be that someone is pretending to be you?"
Yan Li helplessly raised the Li Cliff and said, "A precious artifact can't be faked. What exactly do you want to do? "
Ji Tiansheng took out a bunch of flowers from somewhere. They were probably freshly picked from the Hundred Flower Garden, and they were still very bright. The flowers were placed under a peach tree, and then he took out a bottle of wine and poured half of it beside the flowers.
Then, she gently put her sandalwood mouth to the mouth of the bottle and raised her head to take a small sip. Only then did she lightly say, "Since you're here, accompany me for a walk."
Yan Li hesitated and said, "Isn't this a forbidden area?"
Ji Tiansheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Or do you want me to punish you?"
Yan Li immediately said righteously, "There are thieves here. Protecting Your Majesty is this subject's responsibility!"
Then, he smiled and said, "Then, then, this subject has a presumptuous request."
Ji Tiansheng said, "Speak."
Yan Li coughed lightly and said, "It's, it's cold. This subject also wants to drink a mouthful of wine to drive away the cold."
Ji Tiansheng frowned and said, "But I only brought one bottle."
Yan Li said shyly, "No, it's okay. This subject will not dislike Your Majesty's saliva …"
