Wen Ping enters a hidden cave and encounters the legendary poet Li Bai, who introduces himself as the Wine Sword Immortal. Wen Ping expresses his desire to learn the "Cyan Lotus Sword" technique. Li Bai initially questions Wen Ping's motives, warning that the sword path leads to eternal suffering in the mortal realm rather than immortality. After Wen Ping reveals his cultivation system, Li Bai agrees to teach him, but only if Wen Ping promises to use the sword honorably. Wen Ping spends days learning the seven moves of the Cyan Lotus Sword, but Li Bai reveals that mastering the true "Cyan Lotus Sword Intent" requires a thousand years of diligent practice.

[Divine Weapon: Harry Potter's Magic Wand, Long Yue Sword]

[Cultivation Technique: Changmo Technique (Celestial Level)]

[Special Ability: Golden Divination Eye, Cyan Lotus Sword Intent (Entry Level)]

...

Wen Ping ceased his further perusal, as the added Cyan Lotus Sword Intent at the entry level left him somewhat bewildered.

Hadn't he even commenced his cultivation journey yet?

How had the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent achieved an entry-level status?

As he was contemplating this, the system interjected with an explanation, "Due to the host's Earthly Cyan Lotus Body, haven't you noticed the subtle resemblance between the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent and the Earthly Cyan Lotus Body? It is as if the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent is an inherent component of the Earthly Cyan Lotus Body."

Prompted by the system's reminder, Wen Ping experienced a sudden clarity and proceeded to unleash the power of his Earthly Cyan Lotus Body.

Indeed, a degree of similarity was discernible.

The Earthly Cyan Lotus Body could be likened to a father.

The Cyan Lotus Sword Intent, in turn, resembled a son.

While Wen Ping was engrossed in sensing the Earthly Cyan Lotus Body and the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent, Li Bai's expression underwent a sudden transformation, and he gasped, "Cyan Lotus Sword Body! How is this conceivable, an Innate Cyan Lotus Sword Body, this is a Dao Constitution! Is this not an Innate Dao Body that only exists in ancient legends?"

Li Bai shook his head, his disbelief palpable.

He then hurried forward, grasped Wen Ping's shoulder, and urged, "My friend, attempt to wield a sword!"

Wen Ping, startled, instinctively drew forth the Long Yue Sword and executed a thrust. The moment the sword exited its sheath, a Cyan Lotus manifested. Wen Ping meticulously tracked the sword's trajectory, as a four-leaf Cyan Lotus detached itself, following the blade's path before alighting on the floor tiles indicated by the sword's tip, slicing through them as effortlessly as tofu.

"A sword accompanied by a four-leaf Cyan Lotus, the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent at the entry level! It is undoubtedly the Innate Dao Body!" Li Bai proclaimed with immense awe, then shifted his tone, "My friend, the Cyan Lotus Sword aligns perfectly with you! For individuals lacking the Innate Cyan Lotus Dao Body, the Cyan Lotus Sword, regardless of its potency, could only be wielded by mortals. However, you are exceptional; you possess the Innate Dao Body, bringing you closer to grasping the Dao!"

"Ah?"

Wen Ping was momentarily taken aback.

Before Wen Ping could articulate a response, Li Bai continued, "My friend, proceed leftward out of this cave; approximately three thousand miles hence lies a Cyan Dragon Cave. Within its depths resides a sword named the Cyan Lotus Sword; it is my personal blade, and today, I bestow it upon you! With the Cyan Lotus Sword, your swordsmanship, amplified by the Cyan Lotus Sword Intent, shall ascend to unprecedented heights!"

As Li Bai spoke, his excitement was palpable, akin to a lifelong aspiration on the verge of fulfillment.

His gaze, fixed upon Wen Ping, held an intense eagerness, as if he feared running out of time to convey his words.

Just as Wen Ping prepared to voice his gratitude, Li Bai's legs began to transmute into ethereal light, gradually fading away.

"Senior?"

Wen Ping cried out.

Li Bai let out a soft chuckle, "I have awaited your arrival, and the Cyan Lotus Sword too has found the one it was destined for; my lifelong ambition is now realized, and thus, it is time for me to dissipate."

"I am deeply grateful for your immense kindness, senior." Wen Ping clasped his fist in a respectful salute, remaining silent until Li Bai's form had completely vanished before straightening himself.

After a final glance at the now empty cave, Wen Ping strode forth, sealing the entrance.

Li Bai had bestowed upon him a remarkable opportunity, and he resolved to ensure its future tranquility, undisturbed by any external forces.

Departing from the stone wall, Wen Ping immediately set off towards the left, his intention being to investigate the Cyan Dragon Cave.

Wen Ping was acutely aware that this impending journey would undoubtedly be fraught with peril.

Three thousand miles into the unknown!

Who could possibly predict the encounters that awaited him.

After all, he had only ventured three to four hundred miles into the Final Forbidden Area and had already contended with Qiongqi and entities of the Demon Ancestor level.

"Although I remain unaware of the Cyan Lotus Sword's true nature as a treasure, it is certainly not something easily acquired."

Yet, Wen Ping felt no trepidation, for he possessed another life to spare.

...

Final Forbidden Area.

His injuries largely mended, Weisheng Xingyu stood at the periphery of the Final Forbidden Area, his gaze fixed inward, yet he hesitated to take the final step, his mind occupied by Wen Ping's counsel.

"The Sect Leader stated that the Final Forbidden Area harbors boundless potential alongside unending dangers."

"If you aspire to avenge your daughter, you must traverse this path; otherwise, the prospect of revenge remains exceedingly remote."

"Sect Leader, I shall not falter in your expectations!"

With a determined clench of his jaw, Weisheng Xingyu plunged into the Final Forbidden Area, proceeding henceforth without a defined direction.

He possessed no knowledge of the location of the opportunity Wen Ping had alluded to.

Nor was he privy to the secrets concealed within the Final Forbidden Area.

Proceeding with extreme caution, he remained attuned to any shifts in his environment, thus refraining from flight.

"Outside the Final Forbidden Area, one finds tranquility and abundant vitality. Yet, within its borders, it is naught but desolation." As Weisheng Xingyu navigated past numerous demon beast skeletons, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Having managed to bypass the remains of demonic beasts, Weisheng Xingyu pressed onward for days, a constant sense of bewilderment accompanying his journey.

"I wonder, what precisely is this opportunity the Sect Leader spoke of?"

Amidst his contemplations, a sudden, fearsome roar erupted from the heavens, compelling Weisheng Xingyu to quickly seek cover.

The sheer pressure emanating from the beast's cry sent a shiver down his spine.

Indeed, the Sect Leader had not been exaggerating; the Final Forbidden Area is fraught with peril.

He had only ventured a mere hundred to two hundred miles within its confines and had already encountered beings comparable to Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted demons.

"Still hiding!"

Just as Weisheng Xingyu assumed the creature was merely passing by, a colossal demon descended from the sky, charging directly at him. It offered no quarter, intent on ending his life then and there. Startled, Weisheng Xingyu ascended rapidly, attempting to outrun it, but the disparity in speed was overwhelming.

With no other recourse, Weisheng Xingyu resorted to employing poison.

Suspended in the air, he unleashed Nirvana Poison, dispersing it like clouds and painting the sky with unnatural hues.

This tactical strike afforded Weisheng Xingyu a sliver of an opening.

However, after a short period of flight, another terrifying demonic roar emanated from a different direction.

Yet another Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted demon swooped towards him with aggressive intent, its ferocious gaze locked onto him.

"Another one! The Final Forbidden Area is far too dangerous; this is certainly not what the Sect Leader described." Weisheng Xingyu gazed in disbelief at the two monstrous demons now menacing him from both front and back. He attempted to evade, flying onward for a short distance, but was ultimately struck down.

Upon his revival outside the Final Forbidden Area, Weisheng Xingyu found himself disoriented, uncertain whether to re-enter.

Nevertheless, recalling the encounter with the two colossal demons, Weisheng Xingyu resolved to withdraw and attempt another foray at a later time.

To preserve his life, he had no choice but to deplete his Sect Task Points extravagantly.

...

Heaven and Earth Lake.

Bright Mirror Lake.

Following the Hundred Sects Alliance's loss of three Golden Level Chiefs, Pei Wu, a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted expert, led the contingent from the Nomadic Post to designate Bright Mirror Lake as the ultimate battleground between the Nomadic Post and the Hundred Sects Alliance. Months have since passed with the conflict raging unabated.

The cumulative death toll has surpassed ten million, yet the war shows no indication of concluding.

This is due to the persistent skirmishes between the Demon Race and the Covering Heaven Pavilion.

Furthermore, Weisheng Xingyu's confrontations with the powerful individuals of the Covering Heaven Pavilion have injected an element of uncertainty into the outcome of this battlefield.

However, the Nomadic Post has already gained a strategic advantage in other territories, initiating a sweeping advance and establishing dozens of combat zones across Heaven and Earth Lake among the Four-star Influences, throwing the Hundred Sects Alliance into disarray.

When the climactic engagement at Bright Mirror Lake finally concludes, it will signify the cessation of this war. Should the Immortal Sect emerge victorious at Bright Mirror Lake, a significant portion of Heaven and Earth Lake will fall under the dominion of the Nomadic Post.

Conversely, if the Covering Heaven Pavilion secures victory, the Nomadic Post faces utter annihilation!

Under the veil of deep night, the Hundred Sects Alliance mounted a sudden offensive, deploying tens of millions of their forces. This massive army was segmented into ten distinct groups, each launching a simultaneous assault on ten separate camps belonging to the Nomadic Post.

Yet, thanks to the extensive intelligence network established by Chen Xie, the Nomadic Post was forewarned of this impending attack a full day prior. Consequently, they were strategically positioned to confront the Hundred Sects Alliance along their projected path of advance, preparing for the final decisive clash.

As night descended, wing-clad demonic beings descended like a dark shroud upon the land, and the frenzied experts of the Hundred Sects Alliance surged forward. In response, the Nomadic Post simultaneously ignited a multitude of torches, bathing the night sky in brilliant light.

"They have arrived!"

"Annihilate them all!"

The forces of the Nomadic Post, alongside the demons from Demon Emperor Lake, charged forth, resolved to eradicate every last member of the Hundred Sects Alliance.

However, mid-charge, a colossal, winged Demon God materialized in the heavens.

A contingent of individuals stood behind this imposing winged Demon God.

Their four meridians were opened in unison!

All of them radiated the formidable aura associated with the Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm!

And at the primary theatre of conflict between the Demon Race and the Covering Heaven Pavilion, three beings of the Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm manifested concurrently!
