Illusionary Realm Assessment

"Not yet. I didn't expect Miss Gu's cave to be right next to mine. 🍫🍫 ❻9şђù𝐱.ς𝓸Μ 🐍🎉"

Fang Wang looked at Gu Li standing at the entrance of the cave and replied with a smile. Under the sunlight, Gu Li, who had changed into the Taoist robe of Taiyuan Sect and was not wearing a veil, looked exceptionally beautiful, like a fairy on earth.

There was a set of Taoist robes belonging to a personal disciple in Fang Wang's cave. It looked similar to the Taoist robes Gu Li was wearing. Could it be that Gu Li had also become a personal disciple?

Gu Li stared at Fang Wang and said softly, "I deliberately chose to be next to you. I have successfully formed my spirit and become a personal disciple. From now on, you will be my senior brother."

A direct disciple?

So fast?

Fang Wang was surprised, but remained calm on the surface.

Seeing that he remained unmoved, Gu Li's delicate hand clenched slightly in her sleeve. She tried to calm herself down and told herself not to rush.

"Master told me that you only had the seventh level of the Qi Nourishing Realm when you entered the sect. Now, only a few months have passed, and you have already reached the ninth level of the Qi Nourishing Realm. It seems that you will soon be able to form your spirit. Before you form your spirit, can we have another spar?" Gu Li said, her pretty face slightly flushed.

Fang Wang looked at her suspiciously.

Is the Spirit Shaping Realm being upgraded to the Qi Nourishing Realm?

Good guy!

So shameless?

Just as Fang Wang was about to refuse, Gu Li continued, "I won't use my natal spirit treasure. It just so happens that my Five Saints Sword Technique has made a breakthrough, and I'd like to spar with you. Don't worry, we'll find a secluded place to spar, and it won't be publicized."

Fang Wang initially found it troublesome, but now he suddenly wanted to witness the power of the Spirit Shaping Realm so that there wouldn't be any killing intent within the Taiyuan Sect.

"Where to?" Fang Wang asked.

Gu Li's face lit up with joy, and she said, "Let's go to the woods at the foot of the mountain. Sparring and dueling are common occurrences. As long as we don't create hatred, the Taiyuan Sect won't forbid it. We can spar with wooden swords instead of magic weapons."

Fang Wang really wanted to say that both wooden swords and magic swords could kill people, but he didn't want to waste words. It was a good opportunity to try out the Amazing Divine Sword Technique!

"Let's go, to the woods!"

"good!"

The two immediately headed down the mountain, led by Gu Li. They did not fly on their swords; from the air, they appeared to be walking side by side on the mountain path, like a divine couple.

On the way, Gu Li chatted with Fang Wang. After hearing that Fang Wang had been cultivating since joining the sect, she told him about the interesting things that had happened in Taiyuan Sect recently.

Having just experienced two hundred years of darkness, Fang Wang was also very interested in these interesting stories, so he listened to her continue, occasionally interjecting with questions.

"By the way, is Zhou Xue one of your people?" Gu Li suddenly asked.

Fang Wang nodded and said, "That's right, what happened to her?"

He wasn't worried about Zhou Xue getting into trouble; after all, she was a reborn person, and it would be good enough if she didn't cause trouble for others.

"She passed the sect's illusionary realm test and received the inheritance of the previous sect leader, making her famous. After she forms her spirit, even if her spirit's aptitude is average, she can still become a personal disciple," Gu Li said with emotion.

A trial in a dreamlike realm?

Fang Wang hadn't heard Zhou Xue mention it, but it was reasonable for Zhou Xue to have such an opportunity. Rebirth was her greatest reliance. Zhou Xue had too many opportunities recorded in her mind, and she would definitely be able to choose a path stronger than her previous life.

Since entering Taiyuan Sect, the two have lost contact, but Fang Wang remembers the lineage she chose for herself, the first lineage.

And so, Fang Wang and Gu Li chatted as they walked toward the grove of trees.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The two entered the forest, where the trees were sparse, making it easy to fight, while the dense foliage above blocked out the sky, allowing them to avoid being spied on by passing disciples.

Fang Wang stood three zhang away from Gu Li. He raised his right hand and said, "Come on, this time, I won't use the sword control technique."

Sword Control Technique!

Upon hearing these three words, Gu Li's expression became unnatural. It turned out that the move that defeated her back then was indeed the sword control technique.

She could accept being defeated by superior swordsmanship, but being defeated by sword control techniques...

Moreover, the opponent was only at the seventh level of the Qi Cultivation Realm at that time!

Gu Li took a deep breath.

He immediately took out two wooden swords, tossed one to Fang Wang, and held the other in his right hand.

Fang Wang took the wooden sword, examined it for a moment, and initially wanted to refuse to use it, but then thought that he might insult the other party, so he decided to pretend to use it.

That's a good idea. He's been pretending to be a swordsman, but in reality, he doesn't need a sword to use the Amazing Divine Sword Technique. It might save his life in a critical moment in the future.

Fang Wang held the wooden sword, raised it and pointed it at Gu Li. He extended two fingers of his left hand and slashed along the blade of the wooden sword. Three sword energies flowed out from the blade and quickly condensed into three sword shapes that floated in front of him.

Gu Li frowned at the sight, secretly shocked. What kind of sword technique was this?

Gu Li took a deep breath and immediately unleashed her family's ultimate technique, the Five Saints Sword Technique. She swung her sword rapidly, her sword moves fierce and her figure so fast that it created afterimages. In an instant, it seemed as if five people were wielding their swords at the same time, and the domineering sword energy that could be seen with the naked eye swept towards Fang Wang like a storm.

The trees along the way were cut with countless fine, sharp marks.

Fang Wang gripped the sword in his right hand, twisted his wrist, and suddenly lunged forward, the three sword shapes transforming into three streaks of cold blue light that shot out.

boom!

The two sword energies clashed, and the seemingly powerful Five Saints Sword Energy was directly torn apart by three streaks of green light. Gu Li's long hair was blown into disarray, and she subconsciously widened her beautiful eyes.

At this moment, she felt the same terror she had felt when she was vying for the position of personal disciple.

Fortunately, the three streaks of azure light dissipated just as they reached her, but even so, the powerful sword light still made her heart pound.

Fang Wang sheathed his sword, secretly sighing, "Fortunately, my Amazing Divine Sword Technique is already at its peak, otherwise it would have been really difficult to sheathe my sword just now."

The surrounding trees shook violently, and leaves fell like rain. Bathed in this rain of leaves, Gu Li fell into a daze.

Fang Wang was worried that she would make further demands, so he said, "Miss Gu, your swordsmanship is very strong. You are the strongest swordsman I have ever fought. Let's spar again later. I have to go back and cultivate."

Having said that, he leaped up, stepped onto the wooden sword, and flew away swiftly out of the woods.

at the same time.

A male disciple flew over and noticed the unusual activity in the woods below. He was about to go and take a look when he saw Fang Wang flying out on his sword. He was overjoyed and quickly went over to him.

"Senior Brother Fang, it's a rare sight indeed!" The male disciple stopped Fang Wang and said enthusiastically.

Fang Wang felt he looked somewhat familiar and said politely, "I was in seclusion cultivating before, and I came out for a stroll today."

"Senior Brother Fang, do you remember me? I'm Zhou Bo!"

"I remember, I remember..."

In the woods.

Gu Li took a deep breath. This wasn't the first time she had suffered a defeat, but she wasn't as badly hit as before, especially since she had gained Fang Wang's approval.

and many more!

That kid has been cultivating for less than a year, how many sword cultivators could he possibly encounter?

Gu Li recalled her master Yang Yuanzi's words of lament, and her face instantly turned ugly. She felt no resentment, only endless confusion.

She took a deep breath and then flew away on her sword.

Fang Wang quickly dealt with Zhou Bo and left. Just as Zhou Bo was thinking to himself that Senior Brother Fang was truly a hard-working cultivator, he saw Gu Li fly out of the woods.

After being struck by the Amazing Divine Sword Technique, Gu Li's hair became slightly disheveled, leaving Zhou Bo astonished.

Gu Li ignored him and quickly flew up the mountain.

Zhou Bo withdrew his gaze, stood on the flying sword, and murmured with admiration, "Senior Brother Fang is really in high spirits."

……

After landing, Fang Wang leaned the wooden sword against the entrance of Gu Li's cave and then quickly returned to his own cave.

Having repeatedly dealt blows to the pride of heaven, he feared endless trouble, but there was nothing he could do; it was Gu Li who came knocking on his door.

Sitting cross-legged on the white jade bed, Fang Wang reviewed the previous battle and felt that the Spirit Shaping Realm was nothing special, at least not that far behind him.

It is possible that one's natal spirit treasure can provide a significant boost to combat power for those in the Spirit Shaping Realm.

Fang Wang stopped thinking about it and continued to cultivate his Qi. Reaching the ninth level of the Qi Nourishing Realm did not mean he could directly break through to the Spirit Shaping Realm. There was an unnamed realm between the ninth level of the Qi Nourishing Realm and the Spirit Shaping Realm. In martial arts, there was such a realm. Some people called it the opportunity, and some called it perfection. In short, he just wanted to reach the Spirit Shaping Realm as soon as possible.

Outside the cave.

Gu Li looked at the wooden sword leaning against the mountain gate, bit her lip, picked up the wooden sword, and walked back to her cave.

In the blink of an eye.

Another month has passed.

Fang Wang's spiritual power had doubled, and he vaguely sensed signs of a breakthrough. However, he found that his cultivation could still increase, so he continued to practice, intending to break through when his cultivation could no longer increase.

On this day, a voice came from outside the cave:

"Fang Wang, are you there?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Wang immediately got up and went to the mountain gate. He opened it and, as the sunlight shone in, he saw a long-lost face.

Zhou Xue!

After several months apart, Zhou Xue, dressed in the robes of a Taiyuan Sect disciple, was even more beautiful. The spirit between her brows was something Gu Li lacked; she was spirited and sharp, while Gu Li merely had a cold and aloof demeanor.

Zhou Xue stepped directly into the cave, walking past Fang Wang, and waved her hand, saying, "Close the door!"

Fang Wang immediately closed the cave gate and followed Zhou Xue's footsteps.

"Why are you here?" Fang Wang asked in surprise.

Zhou Xue snorted, "You've been in seclusion all this time, trying to sever ties with the Fang family? The other Fang family disciples have already met and established connections, but you're the only one who hasn't left the third lineage. That's why I had to come looking for you."

Fang Wang explained, "I just want to reach the Spirit Shaping Realm as soon as possible."

"Ninth level of Qi Cultivation Realm, not bad. It seems it hasn't hindered your cultivation. I'm worried that the girl from the Gu family will pester you, and you won't be able to suppress your restless youthful heart and will fall into her clutches."

As Zhou Xue spoke, she sat down at the stone table.

Fang Wang said helplessly, "How could that be? I am the thirteenth young master of the Fang family. If I were so easily swayed, all those pretty maids in the manor and those young ladies from the city would have already been taken by me."

Zhou Xue snorted, "I hope so. I came here today to say goodbye. I'm preparing to leave, and I probably won't be back for at least three to five years."

"So long? What have you been doing?"

Fang Wang sat down and asked curiously, while secretly plotting how to acquire some unique skills.

Zhou Xue looked at him and said, "Go seize a great opportunity, and while you're at it, investigate the Soul Burning Banner in my possession. I won't feel at ease until this matter is resolved."

"Take me with you?"

"With such good aptitude, just focus on your cultivation. A genius like you needs to settle down and cultivate. I've seen too many geniuses with unparalleled talent who think they're strong enough, only to be killed by old monsters and those with great fortune, becoming pitiful figures in other people's legends. Besides, it's easier for me to act alone."

"All right……"

Fang Wang simply made a polite remark. He couldn't very well shamelessly ask Zhou Xue to take him along, and besides, he really didn't want to go out. He wasn't at the point where he needed to go out and seek opportunities yet.

only……

How should I start the conversation?

Zhou Xue chuckled teasingly, "What? You want to get cultivation techniques or spells from me?"
