Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

They weren't really acquaintances, but when Jiang Li saw her he remembered the injury he had sustained that time.

It’s Jun Moqing.

Jun Moqing was wearing a white double-breasted dress with slits on both sides that revealed a bit of her fair thigh skin. Sensing Jiang Li's presence, she turned her head, looked at Jiang Li's face, and said, "Have you fully comprehended the sword power of the Dark Moon Immortal?"

"Yes."

"Your injuries haven't healed yet?"

"Yes."

Jiang Li's injuries were indeed not completely healed, he just woke up. Jun Moqing nodded slightly, then stopped talking, turned her head and continued to look at the drizzle in the forest in front of her.

Jiang Li didn't bother her anymore and continued walking forward for a while. He just wanted to walk around. By the way, when he woke up just now, he didn't see Su Jiuli. Where did Su Jiuli go?

He opened up his soul realm, and the aura of the Saint Su Jiuli was easy to find. When Jiang Li found her, she was standing in front of a sword monument, and seemed to be seriously comprehending the sword power of the sword monument. Jiang Li did not disturb her anymore and began to sense the sword monument.

Gradually Jiang Li discovered some interesting things.

The sword monument has a history of at least several thousand years, but the sword mark left on it still retains its sword force. The sword force represents pure murderous intent and a bit of desolate aura.

Jiang Li tried to imitate the sword force, but found that with his current understanding of sword force, he was unable to completely imprint it. Instead, his soul began to hurt, so he gave up.

Anyway, my sword power is now invincible in the world.

When Su Jiuli woke up, her face was already full of fatigue. She was a little surprised to see Jiang Li, "When did you wake up?"

"I just woke up and was walking around."

"How much of the sword power in this sword monument can you comprehend?"

"Four or five points, no more than that." Jiang Li answered calmly. Su Jiuli looked at him with a bitter smile on her face. "Do you know how much I have learned after staying here for a day?"

"How many?"

"Less than a cent."

"It's enough as long as it's enough. Why do you care so much?"

"Your talent is unmatched, and to say that is an understatement."

"I've tried hard too, okay?" Jiang Li argued, but when he thought about it later, his efforts were actually just hard practice with the sword. He seldom pushed himself into desperate situations, and never had too much desire for cultivation and sword skills. And just talking about hard work, Su Jiuli had to work countless times harder than him to fight her way out of a sea of ​​corpses and blood, so his voice became a little weaker.

Su Jiuli looked at him, speechless, and finally just smiled helplessly.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Anyway, you won't have too many things to worry about in the future, so there's no need to work so hard."

"The demon tribe has a lot of big and small things to deal with. If I don't move forward, it means I'm moving backwards."

"Don't you still have me?" Jiang Li answered subconsciously.

Su Jiuli's body seemed to be stiff for a moment. After a moment, Jiang Li added, "Your business is Yaoyao and Xixi's business, and Yaoyao and Xixi's business is my business. We are all family."

"Thank you for explaining it to me in case I misunderstood."

Su Jiuli turned around, her snow-white fox tail drooped down, and suddenly she didn't want to pay attention to him anymore.

Jiang Li looked at her fox tail and suddenly discovered something. There was a cute bow on her fox tail. He remembered that he had tied it for Su Jiuli last time. Su Yaoyao and Su Xixi had taken it off, but the bow was still on Su Jiuli's white tail.

Why hadn't he noticed it before?

Yes, after coming to the Five Realms Competition, Jiang Li deliberately avoided Su Jiuli. It was not that he was afraid that Su Jiuli would pester him. After all, Su Jiuli was a proud woman, so she certainly could not be said to be pestering him. It was just that meeting would inevitably be a bit awkward, so it would be better for them to communicate less.

In fact, he could understand why Su Jiuli wanted to do something to him in the first place. The emotions that had been suppressed for so long suddenly exploded like fireworks, crackling and surging wildly. After burning out, there were still some sparks left, and then they gradually went out.

Jiang Li scratched his head, suddenly not knowing what to say.

Su Jiuli asked, "Yaoyao will follow you back to Zhongzhou, will Xixi also go back with me?"

"She should go back. Doesn't she want to be the Queen of the Fox Tribe? My cultivation is almost reaching Sainthood. Then I can draw a Saint-level formation for teleportation in various places in the two regions. It will only take a few moments to go back and forth. It's quite convenient."

In the inherited memory obtained by the Dark Moon Immortal Lord, there is a holy-level formation for teleportation.

Su Jiuli nodded slightly.

Now the two had nothing more to say to each other. They were silent for a while. Su Jiuli turned around and left the place where the sword monument was. Jiang Li did not follow her. He continued to walk forward and came to the Sword Sect's library. He flipped through the history of the Sword Sect for a while. Suddenly he saw that the Sword Sect also collected several upper-grade heavenly and lower-grade absolute spiritual swords. He became interested and wanted to go to the Sword Pavilion to take a look. Because he had Wen Liqing's jade token on him, the elder guarding the Sword Pavilion let him in easily. He went to the Sword Pavilion to look at the swords and even felt them in his hands, but none of them was as handy as the spiritual sword that Junior Sister Bai Sheng gave him.

Speaking of which, there are many things about Junior Sister Bai Sheng's magic sword that are not in line with common sense.

Jiang Li has not named this sword yet. This sword is a relic left to Bai Sheng by her mother. The grade of the sword can be upgraded according to the sword power of the user. When it was in Jiang Li's hands, he could only activate it to the Heavenly Grade, but now it has become a Saint Grade spiritual sword. The sword is now jade white all over. Jiang Li still doesn't know what material the sword is made of, and where the sword came from.

He is now using it more and more skillfully. I wonder if Junior Sister Bai Sheng, who is far away in Zhongzhou, would laugh when she sees him holding this sword and winning the first place in the Five Regions Competition?

Bai Sheng’s gentle smile appeared in Jiang Li’s mind again.

want to go back home.

....................................

The Five Domains Competition, quarterfinals, day one.

His injury had not healed last night, and he was still a little tired after returning home, so he fell into a deep sleep and slept until this morning. When he woke up, his face finally had some color. The place for today's battle was still Mingjing Lake. As the person with the highest points, he was still the first to draw lots. Jiang Li came to the bamboo sticks, picked one at random, and took a look at the name on it.

Desolate.

Cang Ji was originally sent by Lord Taohua to participate in the Five Domains Competition, in an attempt to find the Divine Eye Fruit in the Canglan Domain, and then give it to Xiyue to use to find the remaining soul of the Dark Moon Immortal. That's why Lord Taohua became anxious when Jiang Li and Cang Ji had a small confrontation in the courtyard, fearing that Jiang Li would become a variable and make Cang Ji lose the qualification to enter the Canglan Domain.

He is a reincarnated sword cultivator with many skills. His cultivation of the tenth level of Mahayana is indeed astounding. Jiang Li is also at the tenth level of Mahayana now. The two of them stood on Mingjing Lake together.

In the last competition, Jiang Li blocked the sound stone and the video stone, which made many people who were looking forward to the battle between Jiang Li and Youlan in front of the stones feel very regretful. Fortunately, Jiang Li did not do such a thing this time. His face was still a little pale, and he looked as if he had been squeezed dry.

I don't know if Yue Ji would think that he was squeezed dry by this woman.

Jiang Li amused himself at the thought. He took out the magic sword, and after activating the sword, the spiritual energy began to glow faintly again. His expression was nonchalant, but Cang Ji was as if facing a formidable enemy.

Jiang Li always felt that he seemed to be sweating profusely, and muttered very quietly, "Is the pressure so great?"

But it seemed reasonable when you think about it. He was an old monster who had just been reborn as a saint. He was first defeated by Youlan within the time of an incense stick, and then he saw Youlan lose to him. It was reasonable for his Tao heart to be unstable. In this case, he would just use one sword.

Feeling the surging spiritual energy in his body, Jiang Li couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

A year and a half ago, he was still a young foundation-building cultivator in Xuantian Dao Ji Sect. He was so happy at that time, enjoying flirting with beautiful senior sisters every day. The senior sisters all doted on and cared for him because of his low level of cultivation. Now, he has suddenly reached the tenth level of Mahayana, but he seems to have not changed at all.

Jiang Li suddenly thought that he hadn't given his sword moves a name yet. His sword moves used to be called Ding Feng Bo, but later they became more and more complicated, combining many other people's sword moves. Now they were a mess. Should he give them a new name? But sword moves wouldn't become more powerful even if they were named.

And it seems a bit awkward.

Forget it, I can’t afford it.

Jiang Li finally raised his hand slowly in front of everyone's gaze, and his spirit sword glowed. The moment he drew his sword, the raindrops falling from the sky all stopped at this moment, like a frozen ink painting, hazy and grand.

The sword light made every drop of rain suspended in the air look like a bright pearl. He was still standing in the same place. The sword flew out of his hand, split into two, two into four, and then into sixteen swords, thirty-two swords, sixty-four swords... Gradually, the number reached countless. Nearly a thousand spirit swords contained different spirit stones. In an instant, the sword rain poured down, and when it fell in front of Cang Ji, it was simplified and turned into one sword again.

The knife in Cang Ji's hand shattered directly, and the sword tip pierced through all his spiritual shields in an instant. The blade pierced into his chest, carrying his body away until it was nailed to a big tree by the Mingjing Lake.

Jiang Li slightly hooked his fingers, and the spirit sword detached from Cang Ji's body, flew back to his fingers and turned into a sword ring.

He didn't even look at Cang Ji again, because he had already won. Cang Ji was beaten out of the range of Mingjing Lake. Jiang Li returned to his seat and saw everyone's astonished expressions, and sighed.

"Brother Jiang, why are you sighing after winning?" Ye Guixu asked at the right moment.

Jiang Li patted his shoulder and said, "You don't understand."

He shook his head helplessly again, "Being invincible is very lonely."

Chapter 369: Burning Snow Region

By winning this debate against Cang Ji, Jiang Li secured a spot in the top four.

In the afternoon, Zhu Taozhi will face Jiang Miao.

Jiang Miao's gaze did not immediately lock onto Zhu Taozhi. Instead, she looked at Jiang Li below the stage. The resentment in her eyes was hard to describe. Jiang Li's gaze met hers for a moment, and then he shrank his head in disappointment.

Has it been discovered?

The battle between Zhu Taozhi and Jiang Miao began soon.

This sword fight was extremely exciting. It seemed that every move of Zhu Taozhi's swordsmanship was prepared for Jiang Miao, and Jiang Miao seemed to have prepared for it. The two of them countered each other's moves, going back and forth until each of them had exhausted their spiritual energy and were almost exhausted. Then they looked at each other and each used their strongest sword skills. In the fleeting glances, Jiang Miao's body finally fell towards the lake and was held in Zhu Taozhi's arms.

Jiang Miao looked up at her, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly, "I lost."

Zhu Taozhi did not show any pride on her face at this moment, she just said, "You didn't lose to me, you just lost to Jiang Li."

"If you lose, you lose." Jiang Miao replied in a low voice.

Zhu Taozhi thought about it and it seemed to be true, so she stopped talking and carried Jiang Miao to the lake before putting him down.

....................................

The third match is between Youlan and Su Xixi.

Su Xixi could only say that her luck was not good, so she had to admit defeat. She didn't feel unwilling to accept it. If she had to say anything she regretted, it was probably that she didn't get to fight Jiang Miao again.

The last competition is between Su Yaoyao and Ji Tongtong.

Although Su Yaoyao's sword was swift and murderous, she was unfortunately still slightly inferior to Ji Tongtong. At this point, the top four of the Five Domains Competition were decided.

Jiang Li, bamboo peach branches, Youlan, Ji Tongtong.

The next competition will start tomorrow, and Jiang Li returned to the yard to continue sleeping.

..............................

"Yaoyao."

"Are you sleeping?"

"Yeah, my head hurts."

Su Yaoyao came to the bed, took off her white embroidered shoes, came to the bed, then gently grabbed Jiang Li's shoulders and asked him to sit up a little. Jiang Li was stunned at first, watching her kneeling where his pillow was originally. Jiang Li moved his body and rested his head on Su Yaoyao's legs. Her legs were soft and tender through the thin skirt.

Su Yaoyao placed her hand on his head and pressed it gently.

This moment always reminds Jiang Li of the time when he first met Su Yaoyao. At that time, he always lied to Su Yaoyao that he would sleep on her pillow. Now there is no need to lie anymore. He opened his eyes and saw Su Yaoyao's gentle smile.

He closed his eyes obediently.

..........................................

The next morning.

Jiang Li's injuries had not yet fully healed, and he slept for a long time. Youlan drew the lots first today, and she drew Zhu Taozhi. She defeated Zhu Taozhi within three swords, but did not hurt her at all. Zhu Taozhi walked off the stage, accepting her defeat with conviction.

Jiang Li also saw Youlan's head full of white hair. He could certainly feel Youlan's vitality fading, but he could only express helplessness. He had done everything he could, and what remained was Youlan's own choice.

Naturally, there was no need to draw lots for his opponent, it was Ji Tongtong.

"What do you want to compete with me today?" Jiang Li asked curiously.

Ji Tongtong knew that she had no chance of winning against Yin Lu, so she raised her head slightly and looked at Jiang Li, "Can you play chess?"

"I am good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Ji Tongtong raised her hand, and a chessboard appeared in front of the two of them. Jiang Li let her move first.

This year's Five Domains Competition was much more relaxed and cheerful than previous years. In the past, due to the tense relations among the five domains, the atmosphere of every Five Domains Competition was tense. In contrast, this year it was full of joy, just like a loving family.

Half an hour later, Ji Tongtong looked at the deadlocked chessboard in front of her and silently put the chessboard back.

"I'm not good at calligraphy." Ji Tongtong muttered, "But I'm good at painting."

"I understand a little bit."

Jiang Li's little knowledge always gave Ji Tongtong a bad feeling.

She unfolded the scroll and painted a picture of vast snow and wind. Jiang Li was also painting on the scroll, but compared to Ji Tongtong, he seemed to be much faster. Ji Tongtong finished before him. Her scroll showed a vast expanse of white snow and wind in the southern polar region. It was clearly a very quiet picture, but it looked as if the snow and wind were flowing. A sense of loneliness and desolation jumped out of the paper.

Jiang Li was still painting, and Ji Tongtong didn't say anything, just waiting silently. But when Jiang Li finished painting and turned the scroll to her, she widened her eyes and asked, "What is this?"

"As for my Taoist partner, it is not convenient for me to come to the Five Realms Competition this time. I want to offend them."

Jiang Li answered innocently. The scroll showed Bai Sheng, Yue Ji, Jiang Chuyue, and Mu Bingning. It showed four girls picking flowers in the garden. Jiang Li had never been good at painting scenery, but he was absolutely first-rate when it came to painting people. After all, it was a skill he used to make a living. Ji Tongtong had to admit that Jiang Li was much more skilled than him in painting. The flowers in the painting alone seemed so beautiful and gorgeous that they were right in front of him.

Not to mention the women in his paintings, all of them seem to be right in front of him, smiling brightly.

She finally lowered her head and reluctantly said the word of surrender. Today's Five Domains Competition was over, and tomorrow would be the final battle, where he would face Youlan.

....................................

after lunch.

Today Jiang Li did not go back to the house to sleep, but came to Youlan's courtyard. He wanted to reach out and knock on the door, but found it was ajar. After hesitating for a while, he pushed the door open and saw Youlan sitting under a pear tree.
