Chapter 3. Seven Star Dragon Spring
Li Ye opened the black sword case inlaid with gold, took out the long sword inside, and looked down at the sword body. It was like climbing a mountain and looking down into the abyss, ethereal and deep, as if there was a giant dragon lying there.

This sword is the sacred weapon passed down from generation to generation in the Li family, the Qixing Longquan, whose original name was Qixing Longyuan. Later, in order to avoid the taboo of Li Yuan, the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the name Yuan was changed to Quan.

It was cast during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, more than 2,600 years ago. It is a famous sword in ancient China and a sword of integrity and nobleness.

Legend has it that it was forged by two great sword masters, Ou Yezi and Gan Jiang.

Legend has it that Ou Yezi and General Qian made the sword by cutting open Mount Ci, releasing the mountain streams, and leading them to seven pools surrounded by the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper next to the sword-making furnace, which were named "Seven Stars".

After the sword was completed, looking down at the sword body was like climbing a mountain and looking down into the abyss, ethereal and deep, as if a giant dragon was lying there. Hence the name "Dragon Abyss".

Therefore, this sword is named "Seven Star Dragon Abyss"

Before his death, his father told him that the Longquan Sword was a sacred weapon passed down from generation to generation in their Li family, and it contained countless secrets.

He grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and in an instant, his whole body was filled with spiritual energy, the patterns on the Longquan sword lit up instantly, and he and the Longquan sword seemed to become one.

He knew that the Longquan Sword had already initially recognized him as its master.

Then, he began to meditate as his father had said, using his consciousness to sense the Longquan Sword, and his consciousness gradually sank into the Longquan Sword.

He opened his eyes again, and in front of him was a vast, flat land that stretched as far as the eye could see, and the entire space was silent and desolate.

There is no sun in the sky, only seven eternal stars.

Is this the Seven Stars? He thought he should have entered the inner world of the Seven Star Dragon Spring, and these seven stars should be the corresponding seven stars.

There were faint sounds of dragon roars in my ears, and between the seven stars, there seemed to be a real dragon flying, but I couldn't see it clearly.

He discovered that one of the stars was different from the other six. It shinned brighter and was surrounded by a faint purple aura.

He concentrated his mental power, locked onto the star, and then his figure disappeared from the spot.

In a blink of an eye, they appeared above the star. The ground beneath their feet seemed to be made of white jade, emitting a faint glow.

As soon as he came up, he noticed a burly figure like a devil not far away, it was Li Cunxiao.

Seeing Li Cunxiao, he began to wonder if each star represented a guardian spirit. With seven stars, did that mean he would have a total of seven guardian spirits in the future?
One of them has been identified, that is Li Cunxiao, so who are the other six guardian spirits?
As far as he knew, Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde already had lovers, and the comics said they were in the Hall of Heroes. So the other six definitely did not include them.

He approached Li Cunxiao, who hurriedly bowed to him and said, "Greetings, my lord."

"General Feihu, there is no need to be so polite." Li Ye nodded.

"General Feihu, do you know the magical uses and mysteries of these seven stars?" I asked Li Cunxiao.

"My lord, there is a powerful human martial spirit in each of the seven stars. If you gain its recognition, you can accept it as your guardian spirit." Li Cunxiao answered in a muffled voice.

"Anything else?" he continued.

"Every time a guardian spirit recognizes the sword, the stars will be unlocked, and the owner of the Longquan Sword will be able to enhance one ability and gain a powerful spiritual skill." Li Cunxiao answered again.

"My lord, the star I am on is called Yaoguang Star. I can receive baptism on the jade platform in front and gain corresponding abilities and spiritual skills."

Yaoguang Star, also known as Pojun, I wonder what this star can bring to him?

He walked slowly towards the jade platform not far ahead.

As soon as he stepped onto the jade platform, a little bit of fluorescent light penetrated into his body. The fluorescent light around him became more and more dense, and the light curtain formed all around pressed towards him.

He was bathed in light.

After a long time, the light gradually dimmed until it disappeared.

He felt the changes in himself. His spiritual power became more pure and condensed, and the level of hell also increased. He had advanced from the initial stage of awakening spiritual power to the peak of black rope.

In addition, he gained an ability called "Po Jun", which can increase the spiritual power and the destructive ability of various skills, and increase the damage caused to the enemy. He felt strange in his heart. The effect of this "Po Jun" was not very similar to the Po Jun in a certain four-character game, but it could be said to be exactly the same.

In addition to the first time, he also obtained a magical spiritual skill called "Yaoguang Jue", which is an offensive spiritual skill that can emit Yaoguang, which can change its form after emission and change into various forms, penetrating into any hole.

In addition, he also obtained a cultivation method that can help him cultivate spiritual power, called "Seven Star Jue", which can use the power of the Big Dipper to cultivate spiritual power.

It seems that one can also use the power of the seven stars to temper the body and strengthen the physique.

After Li Ye said goodbye to Li Cunxiao, his consciousness left the world inside the artifact and returned to his body.

He opened his eyes and saw Huangfu Longdou beside him.

"Little ghost, it will take some time for me to settle accounts with the Spirit Realm. During this time, you follow me and I will teach you how to practice. Before I leave, I will send you to the Island of Dead Souls."

Huangfu Longdou saw... opened his eyes and spoke slowly.

……Nod.

He took a look... and then said, "You are a martial god body. It is not surprising that you will have multiple guardian spirits in the future. And one of your guardian spirits is a guy of Li Cunxiao's level."

He paused, and continued, "Your spiritual power burden will be particularly heavy. After all, the more guardian spirits you summon, and the stronger the guardian spirits are, the faster your spiritual power will be consumed."

"In addition, summoning a guardian spirit puts a lot of strain on the body. For you, the pressure on your body will be particularly great."

"So, from now on, you have two focuses for cultivation. First, try to increase your spiritual sea value and have powerful spiritual power. Second, exercise your body and have a strong physique."

"Only in this way can you bear the consumption of your martial god body."

In the following months, Huangfu Longdou carefully taught Li Ye and gave him guidance in his cultivation.

Li Ye practices the Seven Star Technique every day, using the power of the seven stars to cultivate his spiritual strength and temper his body.

The spiritual sea value continues to increase, and the physical fitness is getting stronger and stronger.

At the same time, the control and use of spiritual power, and the connection and tacit understanding with the guardian spirit are also increasing day by day.

Time flows like water, and time flies like leaves.

A few months passed quickly.

Huangfu Longdou will soon go to Lingyu to settle accounts and fight with him.

Before that, he wanted to send Li Ye to the Island of Dead Souls.

A few days later, in the waters outside Dead Soul Island.

A small boat floats on the sea. There is no one paddling the boat, but it keeps moving forward.

This scene and mood give me some of the feeling from Su Shi's "Red Cliff Fu": "We ride on a small boat and toast each other with gourd cups. We are like mayflies in the universe and a grain of sand in the vast ocean."

Li Ye sat opposite a man in a black robe and a mask.

The man in black robe is Huangfu Longdou, who disguises himself as Guifu Santong and sends him to the Island of Dead Souls.

A small boat is floating on the blue sea. There is a poem that says: "A small boat is sailing on the clear waves, and the worries of life are gone."

But now Li Ye didn't feel sad at all. He was feeling complicated.

There is a feeling of parting, a vision for the future, a confusion about the unknown, and the excitement of entering the Island of Dead Souls to compete with so many geniuses.
