He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 232 The Speed ​​of a Sword Cultivator (Third Update)

"Thank you for your comfort, senior brothers and sisters. I will work hard and strive to achieve the Core Formation as soon as possible. Let's set off. However, I am only at the Foundation Establishment stage, so my speed in controlling magic treasures is relatively slow. This may slow you down a bit."

Li Chuan knew that was enough, and immediately got back to the main topic.

You can't always show how great you are. While this can demonstrate your value, it can also easily breed jealousy. It's better to highlight your shortcomings while showcasing your strengths to achieve a good balance.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Chuan said that, everyone's expressions relaxed a lot, and the smiles from before reappeared on their faces.

"It's alright, Senior Sister Shangguan will take you flying!"

Shangguan Qian, the seventh among the Seven Sons of the Clouds, immediately stepped forward, patting her unremarkable chest, when she heard Li Chuan say that she flew slowly.

She was quite competitive. Knowing that Li Chuan was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, she felt inferior and wanted to prove something to Li Chuan, such as letting him understand how fast Core Formation stage cultivators could fly, especially the Emei sword cultivators.

The other six knew what Shangguan Qian was thinking, but they just shook their heads and smiled, without saying anything.

This is why we've been delayed for so long. We really need to get to Drunken Immortal Cliff as soon as possible, otherwise it will be troublesome if we miss the Lotus Fairy's business.

"Then thank you very much, Senior Sister Shangguan."

Li Chuan naturally had no objection to this. He also wanted to see the flying speed of the Emei sword cultivators. According to Shangguan Qingfeng's memory, sword cultivators were second to none in the cultivation world, both in combat power and flying speed.

"Junior brother, come here and put your hand on my shoulder."

Shangguan Qian beckoned to Li Chuan, who put away the Crimson Spirit Fire Pearl and came to her side, placing his hand on her shoulder as instructed.

"Body and sword as one, riding the sword, let's go!"

With a hand seal, a golden light shot out from the back of Shangguan Qian's head, enveloping her and Li Chuan as they flew up. The speed was so fast that they disappeared into the air in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the other six also simultaneously made hand seals, transforming into six sword lights of different colors and giving chase.

There are generally two methods for flying with swords among Emei sword cultivators. One is to fly on a magical flying sword, just like other cultivators. The speed is not fast, but it does not consume much true essence.

Another method is the sword escape technique, where the body and sword become one, resulting in extremely high speed. It is usually used when one is in a hurry.

"Wow, that was fast! Senior Sister Shangguan, you're amazing!"

Li Chuan, who was flying while enveloped in sword light, praised Shangguan Qian in various ways while silently calculating her speed.

If his fastest speed when using the Crimson Spirit Fire Pearl was close to the speed of sound, which is about Mach 1, then the speed at which Shangguan Qian is currently flying with him is at least Mach 20.

Even Iron Man couldn't fly that fast at Mach 20.

"Haha, that's right. This isn't even the fastest. If you want, Senior Sister, it can be even faster."

Shangguan Qian's chin was held high by Li Chuan's speed. She made a hand seal, and the sword light immediately became even faster. Li Chuan estimated that it was already around Mach 22.

It can only be said that the speed of the Emei sword cultivators is truly remarkable. This is only the Core Formation stage; what about the Nascent Soul stage, Earth Immortal stage, and Heavenly Immortal stage?

No wonder that after the Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords are combined, they can enter a state of light speed that is invisible to the naked eye.

From the place where Li Chuan and the Xuan Yin Sect elders fought to Zui Xian Cliff, it took about two hours to fly. During those two hours, he also managed to extract a lot of useful information from the simple-minded Shangguan Qian.

Although Shangguan Qian has lived for over 130 years, she spends most of her time in meditation and cultivation. Even when she goes down the mountain to train and subdue demons, she does so with her senior brothers and sisters.

Therefore, in Li Chuan's view, his mental maturity was only about eighteen or nineteen years old, and he was very naive.

He had been wondering why, since Master Bai Mei was so powerful, he didn't take the initiative to kill Youquan Blood Demon, but instead watched Youquan Blood Demon destroy Huashan and Kunlun.

He got some answers from Shangguan Qian.

It turns out that Master Bai Mei was already at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm hundreds of years ago, and could ascend to the Upper Realm at any time. However, he had been forcibly suppressing the demonic cultivators because he was afraid that no one would be able to suppress them after his ascension.

But because of this, he cannot act recklessly, otherwise he might lose control of his cultivation and ascend directly to immortality.

Previously, the Xuan Yin Sect's patriarch was provoked by the Youquan Blood Demon by massacring the city. To establish his authority, the White-Browed True Man killed him, almost suppressing his insufficient cultivation to ascend. This also meant that he was unable to help when Kunlun was destroyed later.

He also learned a lot about the Seven Sons of the Clouds from Shangguan Qian.

For example, although the eldest brother, Chu Yuxiang, has a rough appearance, he is as thoughtful as an old lady and takes care of the six of them. He uses a plum blossom flying sword.

Old Zhan Donglai was tall and taciturn, but he was most explosive when fighting, using a giant chain blade with great power.

The third brother, Cheng Xuanfeng, is a gentleman with a sword, and the fourth brother, Qin Ruohua, is a lady with a sword. The two were husband and wife in their previous lives. However, they were too old and already had wives and children when they joined the Emei Sect. They were unable to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage and had to retain a trace of their true spirit to reincarnate.

In this life, he was introduced to Emei by Master Bai Mei right after birth, and in less than two hundred years he had already cultivated to the peak of Core Formation.

Li Chuan specifically asked Shangguan Qian about the matter of reincarnation after death.

It turns out that reincarnation after physical elimination is different from what he imagined reincarnation to be. He thought that reincarnation after physical elimination was like his rebirth in Marvel, where he had a different body but nothing else changed.

However, in reality, the reincarnation after death is a trace of the true spirit that has not been extinguished. Although it has the memories of the previous life, it cannot be considered the same person as the previous life.

For example, like Cheng Xuanfeng and Qin Ruohua, after they were reborn, they already had memories of their previous lives in their minds from the moment they were born. They may have become intelligent earlier than other children, and their cultivation would be twice as effective.

But in reality, they weren't people who had lived for hundreds of years in their previous life; they were still the same children, just with the memories of their previous life.

Therefore, it often happens that after a master is reborn, the disciple goes down the mountain to find the master's reincarnation, and then guides the master into the Taoist sect and takes him as his disciple.

However, due to memories of their past lives, they will be affected to some extent. Not only will their cultivation be faster, but their relationships will also be affected to some extent. Cheng Xuanfeng and Qin Ruohua were husband and wife in their past lives, so they eventually became Daoist partners in this life as well.

There's no way around it. You know, when you remember sharing a bed with someone in your past life, it's inevitable that you'll feel something when you think back on those things after meeting them again in this life, even if your appearance is different from your previous life.

Having a different appearance can sometimes be a plus.

Of course, since they can't really be considered a single person, sometimes, due to their experiences in this life, they may end up just being ordinary friends.

In Li Chuan's view, this kind of reincarnation after death, where one cannot maintain one's true self, is only slightly better than being dead.

Indeed, unless absolutely necessary, who would willingly choose to undergo physical death and reincarnate?
