Chapter 1172 - 1170: Departure

"Divine realm?"

While speaking, the crowd had already returned to Ten Thousand Sword City, with Wang Zhan and others heading straight towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

However, nobody showed any intention of leaving.

Even the injured Wang Zhan remained seated in the Great Hall, his gaze fixed on the person before him.

After all, he wasn’t very knowledgeable about these matters, naturally hoping someone would step forward to provide some answers.

That person took a sip of water before continuing, "The so-called divine realm can only be created by tearing apart the uppermost layer of space and forming a home of their own, achievable only by those whose strength reaches the terrifying level of a god-like existence!"

"In the divine realm, it might be a single person living, or perhaps a Sect, most possibilities exist, but the prerequisite is having the strength to open the divine realm, which I might possess if I can master the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation."

"Although I acknowledge my current strength won’t allow me to tear open a large rift, I can indeed create a divine realm, at least enough to establish myself at the top layer, while currently, I have no way to access the divine realm."

The Ten Thousand Lightning Formation has multiple forms and requires considerable efforts to cultivate to its utmost level.

Meanwhile, Wang Zhan slightly furrowed his brows, knowing the path ahead is long and arduous; he has many roads to walk, and a glimpse of the divine realm is a must!

Even if he isn’t yet at that level, given time, he confidently can become a top tier strongman!

After a simple chat among them, the Sword Spirit walked over to Wang Zhan, supporting him to stand, then cheerfully remarked, "Now that everything is understood, you should head back to your room to recover."

"Remaining in this state won’t result in you returning to the Sky Pavilion anytime soon, will it?"

"Don’t forget, everyone inside the Pavilion is awaiting news of your return, worried due to your absence. Do you want your companions to be anxious?"

Wang Zhan hesitated for a moment but quickly shook his head, saying, "Absolutely not."

"Rest assured, I will spend the coming days restoring my strength to its peak, and I believe shortly, I’ll be able to move freely, and the severe injury will be healed."

Sword Spirit nodded satisfactorily.

Seeing Wang Zhan like this made him feel quite uneasy.

As Sword Spirit was about to let Wang Zhan rest peacefully, he heard Wang Zhan speak again, "By the way, my condition is improving, so you don’t need to stay by my side any longer. Use this time to hurry back to the Sky Pavilion; someone must hold the fort there, and you’re the best choice."

Sword Spirit was slightly taken aback, was Wang Zhan trying to send him away?

Though he understood Wang Zhan’s intentions concerning the concerns over people in the Pavilion, he wished to remain by Wang Zhan’s side given Wang Zhan’s current state.

Wang Zhan hesitated for a moment before speaking again, "Do as I say, take Luo Xue back with you, Luo Xue being here can’t offer me much help, and given her strength she’ll be safer back at the Sky Pavilion."

Since Wang Zhan was injured, Luo Xue arrived at Ten Thousand Sword City, staying with Wang Zhan’s group all the time. Wang Zhan worried about Luo Xue’s status, considering his plans and potential unknown dangers during their journey back; he hoped the Sword Spirit could bring Luo Xue along.

Both being women would be good company on the road.

Sword Spirit hesitated for a bit but eventually nodded, stating lightly, "Since everything is arranged, hence I won’t waste time here anymore, but make sure to recover your strength quickly, avoid making me worry."

"Others may fail to detect your condition, but I, even thousands of miles away, could sense your plight, never forget that we once were shoulder to shoulder teammates, understanding each other profoundly!"

Watching him like this, Wang Zhan could only helplessly shake his head, knowing it wasn’t right to say more.

However, in the coming time, Wang Zhan will strive to restore his strength, bringing himself back to peak condition, ensuring he doesn’t burden his companions.

Suddenly, Sword Spirit headed towards the door, speaking gradually, "I won’t waste more time, meeting with Luo Xue now to convince her to come back with me to the Pavilion, resolving your concern."

Wang Zhan nodded without saying more.

Within moments, Sword Spirit vanished from sight, while a slight smile appeared at the corner of Wang Zhan’s mouth; Sword Spirit being his most obedient ally certainly comforted Wang Zhan.

Having the Sword Spirit beside him, he needn’t worry for anything, as the Sword Spirit would consider everything thoroughly for him.

Wang Zhan slowly closed his eyes, evidently preparing to rest and recovering his peak condition through sleep.

Meanwhile, Sword Spirit meets Luo Xue.

Inside the room, Luo Xue glanced at the Sword Spirit, the corners of her mouth curving into a slight smile as she hurried to Sword Spirit, inquiring, "Sister Sword Spirit, what brings you to me? Shouldn’t you be by Brother Wang’s side?"

Sword Spirit shook her head and continued, "I’ve just come from Wang Zhan’s room, and after discussing together, I plan to return to the Sky Pavilion, you must come with me, as Wang Zhan has matters to deal with and his injury is nearly healed, there’s no need for you to stay."

Luo Xue hesitated a moment, biting her lip before speaking, "But I want to stay with Brother Wang, neither Hexagonal Golden Snake nor Fire Qilin can care for him; if I remain, perhaps I can help Brother Wang..."

Luo Xue’s concern for Wang Zhan was evident.

But Sword Spirit knew, given their relationship, if Luo Xue was the one injured, Wang Zhan wouldn’t stand idle; he’d likely remain by Luo Xue’s side.

After hesitating for a bit, Sword Spirit spoke again, "I understand your intentions, sharing your concerns for Wang Zhan deeply, otherwise, why would I travel such a distance to here?"

"Yet regardless of our worries for Wang Zhan, we shouldn’t become his burden, he needs time to heal, and soon he will face more dangers, if you stay it’ll only add resistance making everything troublesome!"

Sword Spirit refrains from stating explicitly, knowing given his strength, lingering beside Wang Zhan would be futile.

Luo Xue gazed at Sword Spirit for a long time, before sighing, acknowledging the reason in Sword Spirit’s words, as he suspected; his strength couldn’t safeguard Wang Zhan, thus why stay?

Realizing this, Luo Xue silently nodded, grabbing Sword Spirit’s hand, stating, "Then let’s go to the Sky Pavilion, avoiding becoming a bother for Brother Wang."

Seeing this, Sword Spirit smiled contentedly; Luo Xue was obedient, noticeably different compared to Xiang Tian, not merely due to gender differences, more about Xiang Tian’s personality.

"Should we say goodbye to Brother Wang first?"

Luo Xue quickly inquired, evidently wishing to see Wang Zhan one last time.

Lately, Wang Zhan had been tangled in numerous worries, never returning to the Pavilion, despite having sent Li Xiaomei back earlier, Wang Zhan’s stay was brief.

After this farewell, it’s uncertain when they’ll meet again, hence Luo Xue wished to bid a proper farewell.

Yet Sword Spirit shook his head, speaking seriously, "Not due to heartlessness, avoiding Wang Zhan’s farewell, it’s more about Wang Zhan’s condition, now in slumber, needing rest to regain strength."

"Disturbing him now isn’t beneficial, and emotional stirred moments could affect Wang Zhan’s mood, which wouldn’t help him."

Though determined, Luo Xue ultimately nodded.
