With a Saint Realm expert as an advisor, Great Xia is doomed to victory!

"Sword Elder, you... you are alright?!"

Seeing the familiar illusory figure re-condense in mid-air, Li Fan was so excited his voice trembled, and his eyes instantly turned red.

He had previously thought that the backlash Sword Elder suffered this time was too severe and that he might truly be in grave danger.

But fortunately, things did not develop in the worst direction!

"Hiss... you brat, why are you crying?"

Sword Elder had just awakened, his consciousness still a bit dazed, but he immediately saw Li Fan wiping away tears in front of him.

Immediately, his sharp eyes shrank suddenly, and an unconcealable look of shock appeared on his face.

"Wait..."

"Foundation Establishment Fifth Level?!"

"Brat, you've already reached Foundation Establishment?"

Sword Elder's tone was filled with disbelief.

He remembered that before he fell into a coma, this silly disciple had only just made a Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Seventh Level not long ago!

How much time had passed?

How was it that upon opening his eyes, not only had this brat reached Foundation Establishment, but he had also surged to the Foundation Establishment Fifth Level in one go?!

"How long have I... been in a deep sleep?"

Sword Elder asked, feeling somewhat doubtful about life.

"That wasn't too long."

Li Fan sniffled, scratched his head in embarrassment, and answered honestly:

"All things considered... it's only been about a week."

"A week?!"

Hearing this time frame, Sword Elder was completely stunned, his illusory beard even twitching twice.

He had thought he had slept for at least several months; it turned out to be only a week?

"One week, from Qi Refining Seventh Level to Foundation Establishment Fifth Level?"

"Since when did you become such a Prodigy?"

Sword Elder was confused.

In his view, even with that Heaven-Defying "blessing" present, for Li Fan to cross from Qi Refining Seventh Level to Foundation Establishment Fifth Level would require at least several months of hard Cultivate.

After all, Li Fan's special Physique had not yet undergone Awakening, so he did not have much of an Innate advantage in Cultivate speed.

"Sword Elder, let's talk about this later."

"How is your condition now?"

"Are you really alright?"

Li Fan did not rush to explain, but instead looked at Sword Elder with more concern.

"My condition?"

Seeing his disciple so concerned about him, Sword Elder felt a warmth in his heart, then sensed the state of his own soul body and sighed softly.

"Hmm... it cannot be considered very good."

"Compared to before, it is still far too lacking."

"Damage to the Divine Soul Origin is not so easy to recover from."

"But at least... I can barely maintain my form, so I won't end up in Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering."

Speaking of this, Sword Elder seemed to remember something and turned to look at the crowd.

"By the way, what did you use on me just now?"

"Just a moment ago, I felt a stream of extremely pure and vast Soul Power surge into my body."

"If not for the nourishment of that Soul Power, I fear I would still be unable to wake from my deep sleep."

As a former Saint, his perception of Divine Soul power was extremely keen.

That power just now, while not top-tier, was pure and gentle, which was like life-saving nectar for him right now.

"It is like this, Sword Elder."

Li Fan hurriedly explained:

"To save you, Brother Mo specially went to the Cangxuan Great Realm and, sparing no expense, sought out a seventh-tier treasure for you called the 'soul nurturing heavenly pearl'!"

"Then, it was just transmitted over via Young Miss Xiyue."

Next, he vividly described how Lin Mo spent all his savings for this pearl, even becoming penniless.

"So that is how it is."

Sword Elder nodded, then turned around, and bowed solemnly toward Lin Xiyue at the side.

"Little girl, thank Lin Boy for me."

"I will remember this favor."

"Old Grandfather, you don't need to be so polite."

Lin Xiyue smiled sweetly and waved her hand.

"My Brother said that you were injured while helping us investigate the crisis, and that was for Great Xia."

"Saving you is the right thing to do!"

"And..."

A trace of lingering fear appeared on Lin Xiyue's small face.

"We also have to thank you for helping Great Xia discover such a huge hidden danger!"

"If not for you, we would probably still be kept in the dark, foolishly thinking that the world is at peace."

"Hidden danger..."

Hearing these two words, Sword Elder's expression instantly became serious.

He recalled the scene he had seen before, those terrifying Law chains that spanned the starry sky and sealed the world.

That was definitely the most heart-palpitating scene he had ever seen in his life!

"Speaking of that hidden danger..."

Sword Elder immediately perked up and asked eagerly:

"After I fell into a deep sleep, have you tried to investigate it?"

"Or have you discovered any new clues?"

He urgently wanted to know what that thing was and what it meant.

"Uh..."

Facing Sword Elder's questioning, Lin Xiyue's small face immediately fell, revealing a helpless expression.

"Very regrettably, Old Grandfather."

"With our current strength... the strongest is me at the Golden Core Realm."

"And we still cannot fly too far out of the atmosphere."

"Even if we wanted to investigate, we are powerless to do so..."

She spread her hands, indicating that she was currently helpless against that crisis.

Although Great Xia had technological means to observe space, when facing that kind of Seal involving the Law level, technological instruments were completely blind and could see nothing.

To truly investigate, one would have to rely on a Cultivator's Physical Body to cross the Void Realm.

But they were clearly not qualified for that yet.

"..."

Sword Elder, upon hearing this, was also stunned, then shook his head with a bitter smile.

"That is true."

"It was my confusion."

"Given your current level of Cultivate, wanting to cross the starry sky to come into contact with such a level of taboo is indeed asking a bit too much."

He sighed and temporarily suppressed the curiosity and unease in his heart.

"Forget it, since we cannot investigate, let's just focus on Cultivate for now."

"Let's put that taboo aside for now; as long as we don't actively touch it, there shouldn't be any big problems for the time being."

"Mm-hmm, we think so too."

Lin Xiyue nodded repeatedly, and then in her pair of lively big eyes, a glimmer of anticipation shone as she looked expectantly at Sword Elder.

"Then... Old Grandfather."

"Since you have awakened, will you guide us in our Cultivate?"

"Our Great Xia's immortal Cultivate undertaking has just started, and everyone is quite clumsy; we especially need an expert like you to guide us!"

She had not forgotten her brother's instructions to make sure to utilize this "Chief Advisor."

"Hehe..."

Looking at Lin Xiyue's mischievous appearance, Sword Elder stroked his beard and smiled, a look of helplessness yet acceptance flashing in his eyes.

"Since I have already boarded that brat's pirate ship and signed that contract or whatever it is."

"Then some things... I have no choice but to agree."

"Very well."

He scanned the crowd, his gaze becoming deep.

"As the saying goes, if you eat someone's food, you'll be soft-mouthed; if you take someone's things, you'll be soft-handed."

"Compared to such an Opportunity, working hard for you is not even worth mentioning."

"Besides, since I have come, I naturally want to see how far this peculiar world of yours can go!"

Speaking of this, Sword Elder's expression became serious, and he made a promise.

"Rest assured."

"In the future, if there is anything you don't understand in your Cultivate, or if you encounter any problems you cannot solve."

"Just come and find me!"

"Yay!!"

Hearing Sword Elder's formal statement, Lin Xiyue cheered, a bright look of joy appearing on her face.

And Li Zhanjun and Qin Ming and the others were so excited that their bodies were trembling.

They looked at each other and saw the wild joy in each other's eyes!

It's set!

It's completely set!

This is a once-lofty Saint Realm expert from the Cangxuan Great Realm!

Its gold content needs no words!

Having such an advisor at the "Grand Elder" level sitting in Great Xia and guiding the situation.

From now on, wouldn't Great Xia's immortal path take off completely?!

This wave, Great Xia has won big!
