He started as a shepherd and took on countless jobs.

Li Mingyue.

At this moment, he looked dazed. In front of him was a huge whetstone. He held a knife with both hands, the blade lying horizontally on the whetstone. As he rubbed it back and forth, it made a clicking sound.

Pei Si took a deep breath.

He got it.

This secret realm of inheritance has three trials.

If one fails these three tests, one will become a knife-sharpening puppet, spending the rest of the year sharpening knives.

Being dragged into the secret realm of inheritance is both a blessing and a curse.

There is a chance to inherit the legacy, but one might get lost here.

Pei Si placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, intending to strike and see if he could wake Li Mingyue.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Pei Si felt a chill run down his spine, a coldness rushing straight to his brain.

If he were to draw his knife, he would likely die on the spot.

"No one may draw their sword in this sharpening pit. This rule was probably devised by Li Shiwei, the King of Shu. Anyone who violates it will die."

Pei Si lowered his hand; Li Mingyue was beyond saving.

A grand square, with towering jade monuments.

Pei Si sat down cross-legged, his eyes gleaming as he stared intently at the jade tablet.

Only by successfully deciphering the contents of the jade tablet can one escape the secret realm.

The jade tablet was initially smooth as a mirror.

Pei Si stared at the jade tablet. After an unknown amount of time, blurry characters appeared on the tablet, which then became clearer.

"My name is Li Shiwei, a member of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I was enfeoffed in Shu to serve as a bulwark for the Great Zhou Dynasty. I am known as the King of Shu."

"He practiced archery and horsemanship from a young age, later becoming a Qi cultivator, building a foundation of Golden Virtue Immortal, and wielding a sword throughout his life, honing a unique lineage of swordsmanship!"

"There is no need to build a Golden Virtue Immortal Foundation; the other four virtues can also be used to cultivate my sword techniques."

"I sensed that my lifespan was nearing its end and that I would soon become a Dharma corpse. Therefore, I used various means to create this secret realm of inheritance, sealing my life's sword techniques, cultivation insights, and understanding here, waiting for a destined person to inherit and continue my lineage of swordsmanship."

"It was Li Shiwei talking to himself," Pei Si murmured.

But before death, when one becomes a corpse, will one be able to sense it in advance?

The scene before Pei Si suddenly changed. Looking around, he saw only darkness, when suddenly a white light appeared.

One after another, white figures approached from all directions, each wielding a long sword.

At first, it was relatively slow, but then the figures swung their swords faster and faster.

【A Pure Heart】!

When practicing swordsmanship, one's comprehension is greatly enhanced!

Pei Si drew his sword, and his movements gradually overlapped with those of the figure. Each time they completely overlapped, a white figure would disappear.

After all the white figures disappeared, Pei Si's eyes shone brightly.

The white light shone again.

A tall, handsome man, though seemingly weak, sat cross-legged in the white light, clad in armor.

Li Shiwei, the King of Shu.

Li Shiwei coughed lightly and said, "My name is Li Shiwei. When you see this remaining figure of mine, I will already be dead."

"The Corpse Immortal has already shed his true blood. When I die, I will definitely become a Dharma Corpse. Therefore, I made arrangements in advance to ensure that this lineage of swordsmanship can be passed down."

At this point, Li Shiwei smiled mysteriously and said, "To master my swordsmanship, one must possess talent for swordsmanship, have a heart for swordsmanship, and have comprehension before one can learn my swordsmanship."

"Tell me, what's the key to my swordsmanship?"

Pei Si: "Light."

In well-lit areas, Pei Si could freely travel to places resembling subspace and unleash a slash.

Li Shiwei nodded. "That's right, it's light."

Li Shiwei's eyes showed a look of reminiscence as he said, "The general trend of the world is unstoppable."

"As demons and evil spirits increased, I secluded myself for several years and created this lineage of swordsmanship."

"It can dismember demons, evil spirits, seekers of the law, and the creatures that evil spirits evolve into."

"Young friend from the future, please draw your sword."

"That long sword in the sky has been tempered by time. Consider it my last gift to you and to this world at the moment of parting."

"With this blade, I shall slaughter!"

After saying that, the white light went out, and Li Shiwei's figure disappeared.

Pei Si's soul left the jade tablet and he was already in the square.

In an instant, the knife slaves in the sharpening pit seemed to sense something and all looked up at the sharp longsword hanging in the sky.

The next moment, a vortex appeared in the sky.

Apart from Pei Si, all the lost souls here were sucked into the vortex.

Pei Si sensed something and reached out, summoning the long sword into his hand.

This long sword contains a vast amount of golden energy.

[Promotion Requirements: Increased materials required for advancing to Qi Refiner (White), and possession of one of the Five Elements Spiritual Items (1/1)]

Five elemental spirits must be nurtured from the time of foundation building, connecting with one's own immortal foundation.

It is just unknown what rank of cultivator Li Shiwei, the former King of Shu, was.

The strands of golden energy within this long sword can also be used by Pei Si!

Although there are Yin-Yang and Five Virtues Immortal Foundations, cultivators can only choose one of them to build.

However, Qi can be transformed.

Just like the mutual generation of metal and water.

Golden Qi can be transformed into Water Qi, which can be used to help Pei Si build his immortal foundation [Zhuozhi Rain].

Unfortunately, his master only taught him the "True Secret of Washing Branches and Gathering Water," but did not teach him the method of transforming golden qi.

Upon returning to the mountains, I must also ask my master for a method to transform golden qi.

Pei Si sheathed his long sword.

He wanted to make the most of this long sword.

After transforming the golden energy, feeding it to the crevice moon would be wonderful.

Boom!

Pei Si looked back and saw that the jade tablet that Baxia had been carrying had completely crumbled into fragments.

The secret realm is about to collapse.

A suction force pulled Pei Si into the vortex.

…………

Li Family Courtyard.

Li Mingyang paced back and forth in the room, a layer of sweat on his forehead.

Although the Red Sun Immortal Master told him to calm down, he knew he was in deep trouble this time.

Although the Qingyang Immortal Master did not make the same movements as his brother, he remained dazed for several hours.

It was broad daylight!

"Huh?"

A soft exclamation rang out.

Clang clang clang.

The sound of chains dragging on the ground could be heard.

Li Mingyang looked up and saw that the Red Sun Immortal Master looked surprised. He then looked at Li Mingyue, whose expression was normal, revealing a hint of doubt, without any of the previous blankness.

"Brother, why are you chaining me up?"

"Alright, alright! You're finally alright! You truly deserve to be called the Immortal Master of the Mountain!" Li Mingyang exclaimed excitedly, bowing deeply in gratitude.

Xu Zhi: "..."

Xu Zhi blinked her beautiful eyes. It must be Pei Si's doing. But Li Mingyue has already woken up, so why is Pei Si still like this?

Li Mingyang excitedly stepped forward, took out his key, and unlocked Li Mingyue's shackles. He grabbed Li Mingyue's shoulders with both hands and said earnestly, "Mingyue, what exactly did you provoke? You don't know, but these past few days you've been acting like a madman, constantly saying that you are the number one swordsman in the world."

Li Mingyue looked completely bewildered, her eyebrows furrowed as if she were trying hard to recall something.

Desert, a long sword hanging in the sky...

My memory is becoming increasingly hazy.

Li Mingyue grabbed her hair with both hands and whispered, "I can't remember, I can't remember anything."

"Senior brother, you're awake." Xu Zhi helped Pei Si up when he saw that Pei Si was no longer dazed.

Pei Si hummed in agreement, put away the paper figure, and remained calm.

But the next moment.

Li Mingyang was struck dumb, gave a bitter laugh, his eyes filled with a deep look, and held Li Mingyue's hand as he looked at Pei Si and Xu Zhi.

A warning bell rang in Pei Si's heart!
