Lv Lei, although a Loose Cultivator Sword Immortal, had managed to refine his Nascent Soul after years of secluded cultivation, and he was close to achieving Ascension to the Immortal Realm.
However, the path of a Loose Cultivator is fraught with tribulations. He still faced a final Heavenly Tribulation, and his Nascent Soul was having difficulty shedding its mortal shell. Being naturally kind-hearted and maintaining good relationships with various Orthodox Sects and their Immortal Swords, he initially planned to seek assistance from Bearded Immortal Li Yuanhua of the Emei Sect's Feilei Cave at Emei Mountain and Tong Yuanqi of the Wanli Flying Rainbow at Jicui Cliff on Mount Taibai in Shanxi.
