On the ninth hundredth floor of the Heavenly Sword Tower, in a closed room with no doors and no windows, the air suddenly appeared like a ripple of water, and Lu Li's figure appeared from the void.

"This is?" Lu Li looked around, the room was already a familiar arrangement for Lu Li, rows of ancient wooden bookshelves crisscrossed like giants, but the number of these bookshelves was less than any floor Lu Li had been to before, and the corresponding exercise cheats placed on the bookshelves were also much less.

Lu Li was standing in front of a row of bookshelves at this time, and in front of him was a secret book with a dark purple cover.

"The Void...... Condensing Sword Xing?" Lu Li raised his eyebrows, and read out the name of this secret book in slight surprise, he could clearly feel that this purple secret book, which was also called "Void Condensing Sword Xing", was the source of his induction in the Tongtian Sword Tower!

As Lu Li's line of sight lingered, the golden words of small nymphs and insects drilled out of the secret book, these golden words seemed to be elves with their own lives, and you pushed me to arrange them into a text:

"Void Condensing Sword Xing, the exercises created by the Sumeru Sword Saint in his early years, auxiliary exercises, involving the space domain, are difficult to practice......"

After reading this introduction, Lu Li raised his hand and rubbed his slightly rough chin, and said to himself: "It's still this description that people don't want to choose when they look at it, just looking at this introduction, no one will choose it at all." ”

"Sumeru left this secret book, and it wasn't for people to take it away. An indifferent but no longer grand voice sounded behind Lu Li, Lu Li was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't notice that there was another person in the room until the other party spoke.

Slowly turning his body, an old man's figure appeared in Lu Li's eyes, this old man's face was illusory, and he could only barely see the outline, he was wearing a simple white robe, and his beard and hair were all pale.

Lu Li narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively, "You are the 'Lord Tongtian' in the mouth of the ancient sword, and the caretaker of this sword tower?"

The illusory old man just nodded, not responding much to this question, he continued the previous topic, and said in a narrative tone: "Sumeru is a person who doesn't like to follow the rules, in his early years, he complained to me countless times, why do you have to climb from the beginning every time you enter the Heavenly Sword Tower, but this is the rule of the Sword Sect, what can I do?"

Lu Li didn't interrupt the other party's words, and listened silently.

It seems that the illusory old man has not shared his past with anyone for a long time, and his words continue without stopping: "So Sumeru relied on his unique attainments on the spatial avenue to hide several exercises that served as [spatial anchors] at different levels in the sword tower, which was convenient for direct teleportation in the future, avoiding the trouble of breaking through the layers of levels. ”

When Lu Li heard this, he couldn't help but answer: "But isn't this tantamount to cheating?"

"Cheating that isn't detected isn't cheating, that's what Sumeru said, in fact, except for me who is part of the Sword Tower, ......"

The illusory old man paused when he said this, and then changed his words: "Except for me, who is the guardian of the Sword Tower, no one in the Sword Sect has ever discovered these small methods of Sumeru. ”

Although the illusory old man's tone was still indifferent, the longing between the words could still make Lu Li feel it, so it seemed quite incongruous.

"Sumeru once said that he would hide the cheats into the 1,200th layer, but unfortunately before he died, he only hid the cheats in the 900th layer at most. ”

Hearing this, Lu Li looked around, and said secretly in his heart: "It turns out that this is the ninth hundredth floor of the Sword Tower! I am afraid that the exercises hidden here are also extremely advanced in the inner gate of the Sword Sect!"

Thinking of this, Lu Li couldn't help but have a question in his heart, so he asked, "Your Excellency Tongtian, why have I never seen an inner monk enter or leave the Tongtian Sword Tower?"

The illusory old man seemed to be still silent in the memories of the past, and only after a moment did he say: "The sword tower itself is the only one, but there are nine entrances and exits, and it is normal that you can't see the inner disciples." ”

Lu Li nodded, and finally revealed a doubt in his heart.

I only heard the illusory old man say again: "Since you are the inheritor of Sumeru, I will let you make an exception and choose a technique, just this once." ”

Lu Li was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to say thank you, but his body trembled suddenly, and the darkness in his eyes spread rapidly, and the momentum of the whole person also changed drastically.

"Long time no see, Tongtian. ”

A sluggish voice came out of Lu Li's throat, and he said to the illusory old man in front of him in the tone of an old friend.

The illusory old man's face was blurry and he couldn't see his expression, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "What are you doing here?"

Then he added: "Whatever your purpose is, it has nothing to do with me." ”

At this time, it was the Heart Demon Venerable who occupied the dominance of Lu Li's body, and he said in a sluggish voice: "Ten thousand years of drastic changes are about to begin, and the rules of the world will be rewritten, are you really willing to be trapped in this Sword Sect?

The illusory old man sighed: "This vast world has long been divided up by all the races of the universe, and it is impossible for us to be truly free from the existence of the desolate world. ”

Lu Li sneered and said: "All the races of the world, they are just ants-like existences! Although these mortal races can cultivate, their short lifespan is their eternal defect, even if it is these sword saints here? After a thousand years, it is difficult to escape the fate of a soldier who dies and dies, and a thousand years is just a big dream for you and me." ”

The illusory old man shook his head and said, "Even if the Cosmos Races are really as unbearable as you say, what about the gods who live high in the land surrounded by stars? ”

Lu Li said: "How the Protoss viewed us back then, how they view the Universal Race now. For the Protoss, whether it is us or the Cosmos races, they are just playthings in their hands when they are weak, but once they develop and flourish, they will be regarded as a threat by the Protoss and eliminated mercilessly, just as they did when they eliminated us. ”

"The thoughts of the gods are not something you can guess in a sentence or two. The illusory old man still looked unmoved.

"I'm certainly not saying it casually. Lu Li paused and said, "Regardless of the Protoss, the ambition of the Universal Race alone has never stopped over the years. ”

The curiosity in the illusory old man's heart was finally aroused, and he couldn't help but ask, "What ambition?"

Lu Li grinned, revealing a slightly strange smile and said, "Sword Sect, the master of the sword path, how many years have you not seen it?"

"At least a thousand years. The illusory old man said.

Lu Li continued: "A thousand years is a great time for mortals, but as far as I know, the Lord of the Sword Sect is not dying of old age now, but is just like the sky. ”

"Is it ......?" said the illusory old man as if he had thought of something, but he couldn't believe it.

"That's right, that Sword Sect Master is trying forbidden things, he's trying to become a god in vain. ”
