Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Fortunately, Li Xiu was mentally prepared and was not scared away by the sudden feeling of being invaded.

At this moment, the handle of that treasure was also attached to the wound on Li Xiu's finger, constantly drawing blood from Li Xiu's wound.

Li Xiu gritted his teeth and maintained a stable blood supply.

Having undergone several baptisms, Li Xiu's blood was now far superior to that of ordinary people.

That was the true primordial blood from the beginning of time. The essence of the Heavenly Dao contained within the blood itself was enough to drive people mad!

And that treasure, too, was ravenously absorbing it.

Fortunately, Li Xiu's blood was already quite potent, and after the treasure took a few sips, it reached a state of saturation.

However, despite this, Li Xiu was pale and did not look to be in good condition.

"This thing can eat so much."

"Looks like we've stumbled upon an incredibly awesome treasure this time!"

As the treasure digested the blood it had absorbed, the stars in the surrounding sky continued to converge towards this hidden compartment.

Seeing this somewhat familiar scene, Li Xiu thought to himself, "Could it be like before?"

"The energy is hidden within the wall. Once the treasure is fully activated, this energy will be re-infused into the treasure, allowing this peerless weapon, which has been covered in dust, to see the light of day again!"

Li Xiu was filled with anticipation, because something of the starry sky's caliber was by no means an ordinary item!

The owner of this treasure may be someone who is truly a natural creation, and must be an unparalleled master whose strength has broken through certain limitations!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a wildly imaginative idea, to seal power within the starry sky inside the wall, and to create such a mysterious mechanism!

The process of a baby absorbing energy is not very fast, but it's not slow either.

Visibly, the stars dimmed, flowing like liquid down the ground into the dark compartment.

At this moment, the treasure stopped absorbing the blood from Li Xiu's body and began to merge with the power it was emitting.

Li Xiu held the treasure in his hand and could clearly feel its power constantly increasing.

What kind of experience was that?

It's like holding a gun, turning it into a pistol, then a submachine gun, then a rifle, and finally a Gatling gun!

Chapter 1367 is nearing completion.

Li Xiu could clearly feel the transformation taking place in the treasure in his hand, and he was filled with anticipation.

Just as Li Xiu was enjoying the anticipation of obtaining a peerless treasure, Nuwa, who had run away, suddenly returned.

Seeing Nuwa's flustered expression, Li Xiu said, "Hey, why are you back again?"

Nuwa was also somewhat embarrassed, after all, she had just run away and now she had returned without a word, which was not a good thing.

However, in this critical situation, Nuwa couldn't worry about anything else. She hurriedly said to Li Xiu, "Something's happened, brother."

"What's wrong? Don't rush, tell me slowly."

Originally, Li Xiu had no ill intentions towards Nuwa. On the contrary, in the previous world, Nuwa was a selfless creator.

Perhaps, without Nuwa, Li Xiu wouldn't have had the resources to make such a spectacular adventure in the world.

Although Nuwa was somewhat greedy for the things in her cave, the way she fled in panic when she realized she had been exposed showed that she was not a treacherous villain, a point that Li Xiu always felt was very good.

Nuwa, seeing Li Xiu's calm demeanor, gradually calmed down from her panic.

Nuwa said slowly, "Just now when I went out, I hadn't gone far when I sensed movement at the entrance of the cave!"

"I walked a little further and found a large group of people heading this way!"

"Is that all?" Li Xiu said, looking helpless when he saw that Nuwa was flustered for this reason.

"What do you mean, 'that's all'?" Nuwa was displeased.

"There were so many people on the other side, and they all looked so scary, it terrified me."

Li Xiu truly hadn't expected that Nuwa would have a slight tendency to be attracted to appearances, which wasn't a good thing.

However, if we can make the baby a little handsome when we create a human, that would be fine too.

Li Xiu's thoughts were racing, probably because he was in a particularly good mood about obtaining a peerless treasure.

"Tell me in detail what the people you saw looked like," Li Xiu asked.

"I...I didn't see it very clearly," Nuwa replied awkwardly.

Li Xiu was also covered in sweat. He hadn't expected Nuwa to be so unreliable, acting as flusteredly as an immature little girl.

Li Xiu could only comfort her, saying, "Don't be afraid, at least I'm on your side."

"Sit down and think carefully about what you saw in the passageway of the cave."

Li Xiu's gentle voice, like a soothing chord, gradually calmed Nuwa's mind.

She was also trying to recall what the person she had glimpsed looked like.

“I remember now!” Nuwa said.

"The ones leading the way are quite distinctive. They must have come from the same place. Each of them is burly and looks like a bunch of brutes."

Upon hearing Nuwa's description, Li Xiu had a guess in his mind: these must be other elders of the Giant Strength Sect.

I just don't know if the sect leader actually came.

"Anything else?" Li Xiu asked.

Because if it were just the Giant Strength Sect, Li Xiu wouldn't be afraid no matter how many people came.

After all, his own abilities were far too much of a constraint on them.

Chapter 1368 The Sword Absorbs Energy

However, Li Xiu needs to be careful because Li Duotian is not by his side right now. If there are any assassins or mages around, he needs to be careful.

Nuwa continued, "It seems that behind that group of brutes, there are some guys with something that looks like graffiti on their bodies. They look particularly sinister and give off a very bad feeling!"

"What is this group of people?" Li Xiu couldn't recall if he had seen them before.

However, what can be confirmed is that they should be the other forces that Wang Dali mentioned in the air.

However, since they are following behind the Giant Strength Sect, their strength should at most be at the level of the Giant Strength Sect elders.

"In that case, it shouldn't pose too much of a threat to me."

While Li Xiu was talking to Nuwa, the treasure in his hand had already absorbed most of the energy.

At this rate, it won't be long before this fully-healthy treasure sees the light of day again!

In the meantime, Li Xiu also gained a deeper understanding of the treasure in his hands.

This treasure should be tested with a sword. The blade is long and slender, without any unnecessary decorations, which is very simple and unadorned.

However, we'll have to wait until the baby has fully absorbed all the energy before pulling it out to see exactly what it looks like.

"Alright, if there are only that many people, it shouldn't be a problem," Li Xiu reassured Nuwa.

"Really? Don't exaggerate."

"I don't believe you can take on a whole group by yourself."

After Nuwa calmed down, she regained her girlish nature.

Seeing Li Xiu spouting nonsense, she also put on a disdainful look.

Clearly, she has never had a good impression of people who boast.

Li Xiu wasn't in a hurry. He simply smiled and said, "Don't believe me? No problem, I'll let you see for yourself in a bit."

Nuwa still looked unconvinced, but Li Xiu didn't say anything more.

Although the situation was already very tense, the group of people rushing in were still not moving very fast.

Moreover, since they are not from the same sect, the division of interests will keep them busy for a while.

At this time, Li Xiu was also constantly feeling and absorbing more of the power within the starlight from the sword.

Li Xiu, too, became increasingly alarmed as he experienced it.

This power surpasses that of ordinary weapons.

Even the worlds Li Xiu had lived through before had never given him this feeling.

Neither the Heavenly Rank weapon nor the Miao Family Sword, made of rare metals, gave Li Xiu this feeling of dread.

Meanwhile, Li Xiu, who was perched on the hilt of the sword, felt his confidence growing ever stronger.

Although Li Xiu kept reminding himself to be low-key and that he hadn't come into this world to show off.

But the feeling of that burst of power was simply intoxicating.

Li Xiu even had the illusion that if he swung this sword now, he might be able to cleave a hole in the mountain.

Although Li Xiu dreamed of splitting Buzhou Mountain in two, he still retained a degree of rationality.

Nuwa was still hiding behind Li Xiu, looking like a frightened little girl.

Li Xiu also jokingly remarked.

"What's wrong? You look scared."
