The Sakura Shogunate can be roughly divided into four areas: Dongyuan, Nanhu, Ximo, and Beiling.

Dongyuan is because there are many plains to the east of the shogunate.

Nanhu, of course, does not mean that there is a whole lake south of the shogunate, but that it is an area with rich water plants and water resources.

West Desert is completely opposite to Nanhu. It is a desert area.

Beiling is the shogunate area where Li Guanqi stayed the longest. It is full of mountains and valleys.

In addition, there is Heian Kyo, the cherry blossom capital located in the center of the country.

Li Guanqi really wanted to visit Ping An Jing.

But before that, he still had many things to solve.

After he and Wang Yanqing teleported away from the Miyamoto Auction House in Koka Castle, they came to the South Lake of the Sakura Shogunate and appeared in a lakeside town called "Anlinye".

The two of them took a casual stroll around the village and town, and after looking at the scenery of the nearby lake, they left there and headed to the depths of a sparsely populated forest.

"Fifth level soul?"

Deep in the forest, beside a sparkling lake.

Wang Yanqing looked at Li Guanqi in front of him, a little surprised, and couldn't help but raise his voice a few times, "You just said that you want to help my soul change from virtual to real and step into the fifth level?!"

"right."

Li Guanqi nodded lightly.

"This, this..."

Wang Yanqing couldn't hide the surprise on her face, but she still couldn't help but ask: "What did you buy? The most cost-effective fifth-level soul-condensing potion? Or the pure natural fifth-level soul-condensing fruit? No, no, where are you?

What's the money? You obviously didn't sell out your eyes, and you didn't buy anything at the auction."

"Soul condensing potion?"

Li Guanqi smiled and said, "I didn't buy the soul-condensing potion or the soul-condensing fruit."

"ah?"

Wang Yanqing was stunned for a moment, "Then what did you buy?"

"I didn't buy anything."

Li Guanqi shook his head.

"???"

Wang Yanqing looked at him confused.

Li Guanqi said calmly: "Sister, instead of relying on external forces, it is better to rely on yourself. If you can complete this step of transforming your soul from virtual to real, it will be of great help to your future martial arts path."

"certainly."

Wang Yanqing became more and more surprised, "Of course that's the truth. The problem is that it's not just words. Throughout the ages, how many people have been able to complete the transformation of their souls from virtual to real by themselves? Your senior sister, I do have a little talent, but

I’m not so conceited.”

"How come?"

Li Guanqi grinned, "My senior sister is the 99th person in history to have mastered the "Sealing the Aperture Technique". In the past four thousand years of the new era, all countries have been counted together. In history, there are people who have completed the transformation of souls from virtual reality to reality by themselves.

There are tens of thousands of them, right?"

"..."

Wang Yanqing was a little speechless, "You are just talking nonsense and changing the concept."

"Haha, no joke."

Li Guanqi straightened his expression and looked seriously at the female warrior in red in front of him, "Sister, I have a way to help you complete the transformation of your soul from virtuality to reality. The method is to make you enter an illusion and keep falling into it.

The cycle of killing and death will temper your soul and consciousness, and ultimately achieve a qualitative change from virtuality to reality."

"Aren't you still joking?"

Wang Yanqing was a little confused and didn't know why he was joking so seriously.

However, Li Guanqi's expression remained serious.

"Uh... junior brother," she said helplessly, "your idea is not unfeasible, and there are indeed people who have done this in history, but let me tell you clearly, I don't dare, I'm afraid that my soul hasn't made a breakthrough yet.

, I will go crazy if I die and others die."

"No."

Li Guanqi said softly.

The killing illusion of the magic sword is not just a cycle of illusions. The magic sword itself will actually protect the soul and ensure that a person's consciousness and mental state do not collapse.

Of course, there are limits to this.

However, when he really couldn't hold on anymore, as the master of the magic sword, he could still pull Wang Yanqing out - just like Kirisa Kojima pulled him out.

Otherwise, as Wang Yanqing said, if you rely solely on illusion cycles, there are indeed ruthless people who can complete a soul breakthrough before being driven crazy. The question is how many such ruthless people are there in history...

"With it, there is no risk of consciousness collapsing."

Li Guanqi opened his right hand, black light flashed, and a long black knife with a silver bead and rattan chain tassel appeared in his hand.

"Sister."

Li Guanqi looked at Wang Yanqing and said seriously: "After you fall into the killing illusion, you will never be driven crazy. The only thing you have to bear is the pain of the death cycle. This is how I broke through to the fifth-level soul."

"Is this you? But..."

Wang Yanqing was still in disbelief. She looked at the magic knife in his hand and frowned: "But I can't understand what you said at all. This kind of behavior is like... using your knife as an analogy, this kind of behavior is like wearing armor and being knifed.

cut.

The knife must first cut through the armor before it can cut into the flesh, but there is no protection.

But if you don't cut through the armor, the blade will never penetrate the flesh.

If you don't protect your consciousness, you will most likely go crazy.

But if I protect my consciousness, the training of my soul and consciousness will not be as effective as it should be, and it will be impossible for my soul to complete the qualitative change from virtual to real."

"Well, this is hard to explain."

Li Guanqi scratched his head, "I can only say that that is an example of other people."

Others, people.

The magic sword is different. The magic sword is a magical weapon. It can do things that "humans" cannot.

"never mind."

In the end, Wang Yanqing looked at Li Guanqi and reluctantly agreed, "What else can I do? I can only believe in you. Who made you my junior brother? The young junior brother who is best at accomplishing miracles."

"That's the truth!"

Li Guanqi suddenly smiled.

"So, what exactly is it?"

Wang Yanqing looked at the magic knife in his hand, curious, "Can it be said?"

"no!"

Suddenly, before Li Guanqi could reply, Demon Sword Lumo roared in his mind.

This is very abnormal.

Although the magic sword can speak, it prefers to convey its thoughts directly because it is always stumbling.

But this time, he spoke directly.

That hoarse voice, as sharp as stone, made Li Guanqi very uncomfortable.

"Lumo?"

Li Guanqi asked in his mind: "Why? Tell me?"

Soon, the thoughts of the magic knife came through.

——If this woman is killed, has her soul stripped by other artifacts, checks her memory, and learns of my existence from her memory, then you and I will be doomed.

Um?

Li Guanqi was a little surprised.

"Brother Lumo, do you have many enemies?"

At this time, Xiaoxue's soft voice also sounded quietly.

The magic knife seemed to have no response.

At least Li Guanqi didn't hear it.
