Chapter 28 – Studying The Sword Coffin
Two hours later, once Li Guanqi could skillfully guide spirit qi through his body, Li Nanting quietly stepped out of the cultivation room.
The hardest part was over. There was no need to worry about the rest.
Left alone to cultivate, Li Guanqi slowly opened his eyes and turned to look at the sword box at his feet.
He lifted it upright and examined it closely. Before receiving this sword box, he had never seen anything like the strange creatures carved into it—he had never even heard of them.
He had asked Li Nanting if he recognized the demonic beasts etched into the stone sword box, but he had replied with certainty: those beasts did not exist and were figments of the carver’s imagination.
Aside from the four great divine beasts, none of the other beasts appeared in the sect’s Myriad Demon Book.
Li Guanqi remained silent for a long time, then suddenly kneeled and kowtowed to the sword box.
He waited for a while, but nothing happened.
Getting up, he muttered in confusion, “Was I not supposed to do that? Don’t ancient legends talk about old men who live inside objects like this?”
Li Guanqi scratched his head in frustration. He had long suspected that this was no ordinary sword box.
On his first day here, Lu Kangnian had set up a barrier, preventing anyone from seeing what happened when he chose his spirit root. He alone knew why he had picked Lightning—it had been a strange pull in the depths of his heart, an inexplicable sensation.
