Chapter 63 – The Whole Sect Watches Li Guanqi
News of Li Guanqi reaching the fifteenth floor of the Sword Tower despite being only at the Qi Refinement Realm spread throughout the entire sect. Yet, he simply returned to his courtyard in silence.
The days passed as he improved his sword techniques, and his sword moved faster and faster. Three slashes in a single breath became his current limit.
Sword Spirit was relentless in her demands and held him to the highest standards, but he met them remarkably quickly.
During this period, he came to truly appreciate the depth of Sword Spirit’s understanding of sword techniques. Her insights were profound, and she offered unique and invaluable perspectives.
Sword Spirit first had him practice stances without holding anything. Then, she instructed him to carry the sword box while projecting a razor-sharp ray of sword light.
When Li Guanqi struggled with this, he asked, “What’s the purpose of this exercise?”
Sword Spirit leaned against a stone pillar and said, “It’s for your aura. These things cannot be rushed. You have to progress step by step. Even the greatest prodigies only comprehend the way of the sword through experience.”
She paused, then added, “You should start preparing for the Foundation Building Realm. Since you’ve already reached the thirteenth level, there’s no need to delay your breakthrough any longer.”
Li Guanqi shrugged, recalling what his master had told him yesterday. The spirit void opening ceremony was in half a month, but they would need to travel to another sect for it. He took out his jade slip and sent a message:
“Master, I am preparing to break through to the Foundation Building Realm now.”
Upon receiving the message, Li Nanting hurried over from Heavenly Son Mountain.
Upon entering the backyard, he saw a mountain-like pile of wooden logs and a very sweaty Li Guanqi.
