Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

"Who created this sword force?"

"He's a dead man, is there any need to know?"

"That person's style matches mine quite well. He and I share a lot of similar ideas."

"Then you should go too, go to the underworld and have a drink with him."

“Do people really go to the underworld after they die?”

"No, after a cultivator at the Spiritual Soul Realm dies, his residual soul will be destroyed by the Heavenly Dao at an extremely fast speed, eliminating the possibility of reincarnation. If one forcibly tries to violate the rules and is discovered by the Heavenly Dao, he will be punished by the Heavenly Dao and suffer the pain of the Nine Netherworlds' Burning Heart."

"Jiuyou?"

"A kind of punishment that you cannot imagine. The Nine Nether Fire burns all the desires in your heart. If you touch even one of them, you will suffer unbearable pain."

Jiang Li nodded thoughtfully, and then asked curiously, "How did the cultivator who mastered these three swords die?"

"I killed a tenth-level Divine Lord by crossing levels, and was killed by the backlash of the fourth sword he created. This can be considered as saving billions of lives."

Dabai seemed a little impatient. "You don't need to ask so many questions. When you reach the upper realm, you will naturally know that period of history. Practice as soon as possible. You are too weak now. No matter whether it is the first sword, the second sword, or the third sword, one sword is enough to make you exhausted."

Jiang Li nodded gently and gradually suppressed all the confusion in his heart. He and Dabai returned to Xuantian Dao Ji Zong, but he always dreamed of strange things at night. He saw a blurry figure constantly using sword one, sword two, and sword three, but he could not see the face clearly no matter what.

Dabai beside the bed looked at him quietly for a long time, and then a sigh seemed to be heard in the room.

"It's been one thousand two hundred years, Jiang Li."

Chapter 394: The Upper Realm

Summer goes and autumn comes, autumn goes and winter comes.

Xuantian Dao Ji Zong welcomed its first heavy snowfall.

Today is the third day of Jiang Li's retreat. In Mu Xuezhi's backyard, the concentration of spiritual energy is particularly terrifying. Even other disciples of Xuantian Dao Ji Zong can feel that the spiritual energy is a hundred times denser than usual anywhere in the sect. Every disciple is practicing greedily, and the spiritual energy in the courtyard is so dense that it seems substantial.

Mu Xuezhi was standing by the bathtub, looking at Jiang Li beside her, waiting quietly.

She had been waiting here for four hours. Jiang Li finally opened his eyes, and all the spiritual energy in the courtyard entered his body at this moment. All the cultivators in this world felt it vaguely at this moment, and they all looked in one direction at the same time.

"Breakthrough?" Mu Xuezhi asked calmly.

"Yes, the Tenth Level of the Supreme Saint." Jiang Li answered softly.

He is the youngest person in history to reach the Tenth Level of Supreme Saint, bar none.

At this moment, his aura was completely restrained, and at first glance he looked more like an ordinary person. Mu Xuezhi looked into his eyes and asked, "When will you leave?"

"We can't wait too long. In a few days at most, it will be time to set off."

"When are you coming back?"

"At the earliest, half a year; at the latest, two years." Jiang Li replied softly.

Mu Xuezhi nodded slightly.

Jiang Li has already told every girl in the courtyard about this matter. It has been more than half a year since Bai Sheng was taken to the upper realm. Jiang Li is no longer willing to wait. Mu Xuezhi looked at him deeply and said, "I will give it to you when you come back."

Jiang Li walked up to Mu Xuezhi, stretched out his hand and gently poked her buttocks, "Hey, that's too much."

Mu Xuezhi turned her face away and said, "It's settled then."

"Okay." Jiang Li looked at her with a smile on his face. He leaned in and gently hugged her slender body, his lips close to her ear. "I'll punish you severely when I come back."

"It's hard to say who will take care of whom."

"Hehe, the longest time Sect Master Mu has lasted under my feet is seven minutes and thirty-six seconds." Jiang Li whispered. Mu Xuezhi stretched out her hand and twisted his waist fiercely, but also put it close to his ear, "The longest time you have lasted under my feet is only twenty-three minutes and fourteen seconds."

"That's longer than yours." Jiang Li gently bit Mu Xuezhi's earlobe, "Rub it."

"No."

"Rub it." Jiang Li's hands naturally wrapped around Mu Xuezhi's waist, and his fingertips gently wandered over her snow-white body. Although Mu Xuezhi's face showed reluctance, she did not make a sound to stop him when Jiang Li grabbed her belt.

Mu Xuezhi held Xue Ni's legs tightly together to prevent this guy from taking advantage of the opportunity...

Last time, he was rubbing and rubbing, and he touched even more excessive places where I was not allowed to touch. Mu Xuezhi cursed him in a low voice for a long time.

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

"We'll get married when you come back." Jiang Li gently massaged Yue Ji's legs. Yue Ji looked at him deeply and said, "I'll wait for you."

After saying this, Jiang Li suddenly realized that he seemed to have planted a strange flag on himself. The corner of his eye twitched slightly. His fingertips pinched and pinched other places to provoke. Yue Ji was already looking at him with dissatisfaction, muttering softly, "Don't dirty my clothes."

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

These days, Jiang Li has been accompanying the girls in the yard except for practicing. He also told them early on that he was going to the upper realm. He always disliked separation, but sometimes separation was unavoidable. Soon the day of his departure came. Before leaving, he hugged every girl in the family, and then took the teleportation array to the East Domain Sword Sect and stood at the peak of the 999th floor of the Road to Heaven.

Wen Liqing had always wanted to come here to take a look, so she followed Jiang Li here. Jiang Li had already comprehended Sword Three at the 999th level. It was nothing for Wen Liqing to stand here with Sword Three protecting him. He had made a lot of new clothes for Wen Liqing recently. The white sleeveless cheongsam with high slits on Wen Liqing was his masterpiece from a few days ago. However, Wen Liqing's body seemed to be trembling slightly at this moment, and Jiang Li always felt that it was a little weird.

"Before you leave... again..." Wen Liqing hugged him gently, her body was hot, she leaned close and began to kiss his neck.

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

Dabai naturally set out with Jiang Li. He was lying on Jiang Li's shoulder at the moment, and stepped into the gate to the upper world with Jiang Li. Jiang Li was a little confused before entering the door, "Has this portal always been there? Then why do Bai Sheng's people still need a magic weapon to open the world channel?"

"This is a one-way portal, which locks the coordinates of the upper world. The coordinates of your world are unknown to the upper world, so it needs to be opened with the Burning Snow Mirror. The Dark Moon Immortal Venerable sacrificed millions of lives in order to allow the coordinates of your world to be connected to the upper world."

"Wait, you know about this?" Jiang Li was stunned.

"I was sent here by the door to the other world that she opened. How could I not know?" Dabai replied calmly.

"Weren't you... summoned by my system?"

"Then guess where your system comes from?" Dabai swept his face with his tail.

"So...you came here more than a thousand years ago?"

"Yes."

"So what have you been doing for the past thousand years?"

"I fought with the Heavenly Dao of your world, and then I used up all my strength, but I also ate the Heavenly Dao."

"Wait, you are..."

"I am the Heavenly Dao of Canglan Domain. Otherwise, why do you think the thunder doesn't strike you every time?" Dabai sneered.

At this moment, many confusions in Jiang Li's mind suddenly became clear. No wonder every time he overcame the tribulation, the thunder tribulation didn't hurt him at all. Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, "What about my inner demon tribulation? Did you create it too?"

"No."

"Really?"

"Really not." Dabai wagged his tail.

"Then...why did the Dark Moon Immortal send you here?" The Dark Moon Immortal in Jiang Li's head also woke up at this moment. She was the one who asked Jiang Li to ask.

"Ah, you will naturally understand these things when you reach the spirit realm."

"I want to know now."

"Knowing too much will do you no good."

"Then I want to know too, instead of being kept in the dark by you all the time." Jiang Li's expression seemed very stubborn. Dabai sighed softly and looked at Jiang Li in front of him, "In order to send your remaining soul to this world."

"My...remaining soul?"

"Your remaining soul was only a tiny wisp, and it didn't conform to the rules of the Heavenly Dao of this world, so I spent a thousand years devouring the Heavenly Dao, and then cast your remaining soul into the six paths of reincarnation in this world. After you were born, I fell into hibernation, and then your first mission reward was me. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I still don't quite understand, what is the purpose of doing this...?"

"This is not the first time we meet, Jiang Li." Dabai suddenly spoke.

"We have already met each other two thousand years ago."

"Two thousand years ago?"

Jiang Li wanted to ask something else, but the space tunnel in front of him was almost at the end. His vision suddenly became wide and the space tunnel opened. Dabai had said before that this portal was a random teleportation. Dabai didn't know where he would be teleported to. A lush forest appeared in front of Jiang Li. He was about to say something when he suddenly found that there were many people standing in front of him.

Jiang Li was stunned, looking at the group of men and women in front of him with pointy ears, blond hair and silver eyes, all of whom were incredibly good-looking. It seemed that he had just seen such a race a few days ago. This was what Dabai mentioned... the elves.

Before Jiang Li could even open his mouth, dozens of elves in front of him were looking at him and whispering.

"Is he the reincarnation of the great man mentioned by the prophet?"

"He looks quite similar to that adult."

"But his cultivation..."

"After all, I used that thing. It was not easy for me to be reborn. It is normal for my cultivation to be low..."

Before Jiang Li could figure out what was going on, a handsome elf man walked up to him. He was holding a transparent porcelain bottle with a drop of suspended spiritual liquid in it.

"This is the relic that the Queen asked me to give to you."

"Queen? Relics?" Jiang Li asked in confusion.

The Dabai on his shoulder looked a little sad, "Has your queen finally passed away?"

"The queen did not leave, she just turned into a part of the forest to accompany us." The elf man in front of him looked pious. Jiang Li stretched out his hand stupidly and took the transparent porcelain bottle.

"The Queen has one last wish. She hopes you can sit with her in the Eternal Forest for a while. She also left a gift for you."

At the moment, Jiang Li was still confused about everything. Before he could speak, the man opposite him said, "Please follow me."

Dabai reminded softly, "Just follow him, there won't be any danger."

So Jiang Li followed him through the dense forest and finally came to a particularly magnificent emerald green tree. After the elf man brought Jiang Li here, he turned around and left. Jiang Li was no longer alone. He hesitated for a moment, sat down in front of the tree, and looked at Dabai on his shoulder, "You can continue to talk to me."

"The Queen of the Elf Tribe was once your old friend. She was seriously injured in the war a thousand years ago. It seems that even the Elf Spring cannot repair her injuries. When an elf dies, their spirit will return to the Elf Forest. Maybe she can sense your presence now, or maybe not. After all, this is just a legend. I don't understand the elves."

"My...old friend?" Jiang Li didn't understand.

"I've told you before that Jiang Ling Territory would have space gaps open from time to time. Thousands of years ago, an alien demon descended on Jiang Ling Territory. At that time, it took almost all the power of the entire world to barely seal the alien demon. Many cultivators died in that battle, and you were one of them. A wisp of your residual soul was preserved and brought to Canglan Territory by me, and thrown into the Heavenly Dao to reincarnate again, but you have lost your memory of your past life. That wisp of residual soul can only make you remember your previous life."

"Who resurrected me?"

"There are many forces in Jiangling Territory, most of which are independent cultivators who stick together, and there are very few sects. However, a thousand years ago, Jiangling Territory had the confidence that was not inferior to the other two domains, because Jiangling Territory had two domain masters at that time."

"One of them is called Jiang Li, and the other one..."

"You've already guessed the answer, haven't you?" Dabai looked into his eyes tenderly.

------------

ps: There is not much more to Jiang Xiaoli’s story.

Chapter 395: Parting Words

"Where is she now?" Jiang Li's throat became a little hoarse.

"In the place where the evil demons from outside the domain are sealed, you must at least reach the Soul Realm before you can barely enter there and stay for a short period of time. So I don't want to tell you these things in advance. Telling you will only cause you more trouble. It's meaningless."

"You said before... that those who violate the rules of heaven will be burned by the Nine Nether Fire..."

"Yes." Dabai sighed softly, "The Nine Nether Fire has been burning for a thousand years."

"Has she… forgiven me?"

"If she didn't forgive you, why would she help you reincarnate again?" Dabai said calmly, "Three thousand years ago, the two of you were reincarnated into this world by mistake because of the special rules of Jiang Lingyu. At that time, Jiang Lingyu was not called this name. Two thousand years later, your cultivation had entered the realm of God Lord. When I met you, your relationship was still inseparable."

"How did you get to know us?"

"Two thousand years ago, I accidentally encountered a space crack in another world, and was teleported to Jiangling Territory. I met you two before I even had a full stomach, and you slashed me with a sword, sealing my power. Then I followed Ling Wei to protect her."

"Those memories... I can't remember them at all?"

“I don’t know if you’ll have the chance to recall those things after you reach the realm of spirit and soul. After all, you only left a remnant soul at the beginning, and the secret method of reincarnation you used has not been used by many people in the past. There are very few records of it, and I’m not sure whether it’s true or not. But you may remember it.” Dabai said, then looked up at the elf ancestral tree in front of him.

"The Elf Queen was once your old friend. Oh, she seemed to like you very much at that time. Unfortunately, you said she was a good person, so you are just friends."

Jiang Li also looked up at the tree in front of him. Sunlight fell under the lush tree, and the feeling of sunlight falling on his body was particularly warm. He could faintly hear the sound of wind blowing through the leaves, as if a woman was whispering in his ear, but it was just an illusion and he couldn't hear it clearly.

"You still have many old friends in this world, but... I suggest you hide your reincarnation identity well."

"why?"
