Infinity, starting from eternity

Chapter 560 The Crown Prince? He can be replaced! The True Demon's Indestructible Body!
To be honest, Yang Qi was quite impressed with Senior Brother Li for daring to say such a thing.

Even if the Heavenly Academy is inappropriate, it is still the first academy and the first major sect of the Holy Ancestor Dynasty, suppressing the entire Abundant Continent. Its prestige has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. Ordinary people can only feel awe and would never dare to resist.

However, this senior brother Li spoke frankly about the inappropriateness of such behavior, showing no fear of powerful figures.

This is extremely rare.

Yang Qi has experienced a lot, from his hometown of Yandu City to the journey to Tianwei Academy, but he has never actually met a person like Senior Brother Li.

'It seems that the Heavenly Academy hasn't completely fallen into depravity; there are still figures like Senior Brother Li.' Yang Qi felt slightly relieved.

If this renowned Heavenly Academy is like this from top to bottom, he would probably be very disappointed. Yang Qi had been paying attention to the Heavenly Academy since his aunt entered it when he was young, and he also had a slight yearning for the Heavenly Academy.

"Alright, we're here, this is the place."

Li Pingan brought Yang Qi to the elders and then left gracefully.

"I haven't learned your name yet, senior brother," Yang Qi asked hurriedly.

"Li Ping'an."

He was met with only his back view, and disappeared in a few flashes, his footsteps seemingly walking in the void.

The elder stood beside Yang Qi, stroking his beard, and said, "Li Ping'an's cultivation seems to have improved again. His qigong is unfathomable. I just wonder when he will break through to the Life-Seizing Realm."

“Since you were brought here by him, I can’t just fool you. So, I’ll use your best skill, Qigong.”

"It is the elder."

Yang Qi clasped his hands and unleashed a set of Invincible King Fist techniques. His six arms, imbued with true qi, were incredibly lifelike and powerful.

"A King-level Qi cultivation technique, not bad. You can join my Heavenly Academy as a menial disciple. With diligent cultivation, you have the potential to become an inner court disciple." The elder gave his evaluation after a couple of glances, and then dismissed Yang Qi.

"At the Celestial Academy, students are categorized into several levels: menial disciples, outer court students, inner court students, elite students, core students, and saints!"

Yang Qi was sent away and followed another handyman disciple to his residence, where he obtained a lot of information about the academy along the way.

"The menial disciples are the lowest-ranking and weakest in the academy. They usually only have the cultivation level of the seventh or eighth stage of Qigong. They can act arrogantly in some outlying cities, but they are nothing in the Heavenly Academy."

"I've worked hard for seven or eight years, but I still haven't become an outer academy student. I don't know how long it will take before I can even get started." The handyman disciple sighed. He introduced himself as Li He, and it turned out that he and Senior Brother Li, who had brought Yang Qi into the Heavenly Academy, were from the same clan.

"The outer court students are at least Qi Master level, while the inner court students are even stronger, with many approaching the Life-Seizing Realm. The elite students are all experts at the Life-Seizing Realm, and the core students are even more advanced, with renowned reputations throughout the entire Abundant Continent."

"Only legendary powerhouses can assume the role of a saint. His Highness the Crown Prince is a saint among saints, a top powerhouse, and someone with the potential to become an ancient great saint. Legend has it that when his mother was pregnant with him, she dreamed of stars entering her womb, indicating that he was the reincarnation of a god."

"This kind of person is cooperating with people from the Western Continent, not fighting for the interests of the students of the Heavenly Academy, but instead acting like this." Yang Qi shook his head, a hint of disdain rising in his heart.

Li He was startled and looked around nervously. "Hey, Yang Qi, don't say anything carelessly. If someone hears us, we'll be in big trouble."

Yang Qi nodded and changed the subject at the right time, "By the way, how is Senior Brother Li, who brought me here, doing at the academy?"

Li He's expression revealed a hint of envy; although the other party shared the same surname as him, their treatment was vastly different.

“Senior Brother Li is naturally doing very well, unlike me. Five years ago, he was brought back from the outside world by the Hundred Flowers Saintess. I heard that he was found in a war-torn place and lost his memory. At that time, he was just an ordinary person, but now he has cultivated into a Qi Master and is about to break through to the Life-Seizing Realm.”

"The qigong he practiced was also extraordinary. Some elite students once tried to make things difficult for him, but he taught them a lesson they deserved."

"Defeating Duoming with Qi Sect cultivation has shocked the entire academy!" Li He said with great relish. Because of the same surname, he also took advantage of this to gain some prestige and managed to get by among the miscellaneous disciples.

"From an ordinary person to a Qi Master in five years? And even defeated a deadly expert?"

Yang Qi was shocked; such a record was truly remarkable.

"By the way, the master of Senior Sister Yang Susu, who recommended you for admission, is the Saintess of a Hundred Flowers. You two have a close relationship, which is probably why Senior Brother Li was willing to bring you into the academy," Li He said.

The rules at Tianwei Academy are very strict, and it's not easy to get in. Even with a letter of recommendation, it's not guaranteed to be successful.

These are all reforms implemented by the Crown Prince in recent years. I've heard that he intends to raise the admission standards in order to cultivate more outstanding talents for the Heavenly Academy.

Despite saying this, he allowed exchange students from the Western continent to enter, which made many students dissatisfied, but they dared not speak out. Not everyone dared to be as outspoken as Li Ping'an.

"So, the Crown Prince wields immense power within the academy, with everyone from top to bottom obeying him, daring not to speak out against him." Yang Qi was also taken aback; the leader of that academy was simply left to his own devices.

“How can it not be powerful?” Li He shook his head repeatedly. “Saints are legendary beings, and the Crown Prince is an even stronger one. He established the Crown Prince Party, and even experts outside the Heavenly Academy are vying to join.”

"Alright, we've arrived at the residences assigned to the miscellaneous disciples by the academy. It's fine for you to say these things in private, but remember, never say them in front of outsiders, especially members of the princeling faction!"

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother Li He. I'm sorry to trouble you."

Yang Qi cupped his hands in greeting. Although he did not agree with some of Li He's words, he still respected the other party's conscientious performance.

After tidying up his residence, Yang Qi stood by the window.

"The Heavenly Academy is also in constant turmoil. I came here for three reasons: first, to obtain better cultivation resources; second, to see my aunt whom I haven't seen for many years; and third, to inquire about Yun Hailan and take revenge on her as soon as possible."

"However, I have some other thoughts now. The Heavenly Academy is actually fawning over the people of the Western Continent. This Crown Prince is unworthy of being a saint."

Since entering this Heavenly Academy, I've constantly heard the prince's name and heard about his inhuman behavior.

Yang Qi's eyes were somewhat restless. "I obtained the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, a divine skill bestowed by heaven. This is the manifestation of a person with great fortune. Since ancient times, such people have appeared to accomplish great things and leave behind great achievements."

"I am truly dissatisfied with the Crown Prince's behavior and his attitude towards Westerners."

"Once I have mastered my Qi cultivation and replaced the Crown Prince, I will definitely change the atmosphere of this Heavenly Academy and set an example for the people of my Holy Ancestor Dynasty. This is absolutely unacceptable."

The Crown Prince is a reincarnation of a divine being, a legendary powerhouse. Is he very powerful?

He can take his place!
In a split second, Yang Qi set his goal: this is what a true man should be like.

What do personal grudges and feuds matter? Yun Hailan is nothing more than a stepping stone on his path to success. So what if she schemes against him? It's not worth his time.

Yang Qi felt his mind expand considerably, and his internal energy flowed more smoothly. The golden lightning that struck him that day melted away in much of it.

"What a great opportunity! I must seize this chance to cultivate." Yang Qi immediately sat cross-legged and immersed himself in cultivation. ...

"Yang Qi?"

Li Ping'an returned to his residence with a strange expression.

"I've finally broken free from the secret of being born, but there's something wrong with my identity. Logically speaking, with my physique and spirit, I should be an invincible powerhouse in my next reincarnation. I shouldn't be in a lower plane at all; I should at least be in a celestial plane."

"It seems I have a past, and I was thrown down to earth before I could awaken my memories."

"This might not even be my first reincarnation. The mortal realm is divided into three parts: the ancient past, the immortal path, and the future technology. I descended from the ancient chaos and could be at any point in time."

"Perhaps I have reincarnated countless times, and only now have I awakened."

At this moment, Li Ping'an's demeanor was completely different from that of the outside world. He was indeed brought back to the Heavenly Academy by the Hundred Flowers Saintess five years ago, just as Li He had described.

However, he fell from the sky and luckily didn't die.

The Holy Maiden of a Hundred Flowers searched the surrounding area for tens of thousands of miles but found nothing. Li Ping'an was still suffering from amnesia, so she could only take him back to the Heavenly Academy and nurture him carefully.

Even though Li Ping'an's memories hadn't returned, and his body had been knocked down from a higher plane by a ruthless person who destroyed his foundation, he still displayed extraordinary talent in the most basic Qigong cultivation.

In just five years, he cultivated to the Qi Master realm and even achieved the glorious feat of defeating a Life-Taking Realm expert.

"The Overturning Sea Great Sage Dragon Demon Art, what a piece of trash technique."

Li Ping'an sensed his cultivation level and frowned slightly. His memories only awakened when he first saw Yang Qi. Before that, he had only practiced the methods taught by the academy. However, in the past five years, he had also practiced some other methods. The Overturning Sea Great Sage Flood Dragon Demon Art was one of them, a Saint-level Qi Gong that could be cultivated to the Great Sage realm.

This is already quite extraordinary; it could be used as the signature technique of some major sects on the Abundant Continent, and it was also his trump card in defeating the Life-Seizing Realm cultivator.

Many elders and mentors in the academy have high hopes for him because of this. Cultivating Saint-level Qi Gong does not mean one can become a Great Saint, but without cultivating Qi Gong at or above the Saint level, one can never become a Great Saint.

However, in Li Ping'an's view now, that was utterly useless.

With his wisdom, a slight calculation would allow him to fully comprehend the subsequent works of the Overturning Sea Great Sage Flood Dragon Demon Art. There are also six other volumes: Heaven-Pacifying, Heaven-Chasing, Mountain-Moving, Wind-Penetrating, God-Driving, and Heaven-Equaling. The seven saints combined into one is called the Demon Saint Absolute Heaven Art, which is a heaven-level technique and seems to be a legacy from the demon race.

Li Ping'an shook his head, and his internal energy dissipated with a thought.

It's better not to practice this kind of technique at all.

Saint-level or Heaven-level are cultivation methods for ordinary people, and naturally, they are not suitable for his Reincarnator physique.

He possesses the marks of the gods and seems capable of cultivating the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique.

However, the other half of his body in the ancient chaos was already cultivating, and had even revived its power in the God Realm. Li Ping'an didn't have this idea for the time being. This body he had reincarnated into was clean and pure, so why not cultivate some other techniques?

"Supreme Ruler, Supreme True Demon, Ultimate Evil God, Immortal Slayer King, Demon Master!"

“I don’t have the complete Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique yet, only a third of it. There’s no need to practice it again.” Li Ping’an’s eyes gleamed, showing great interest in the techniques of those half-step Wuwu Great Powers.

But he didn't have any, so he decided to create his own.

Li Ping'an's realm is extremely high, almost surpassing the imagination of all mortals, and he is on par with the supreme gods. He is wise and knowledgeable about countless worlds and countless divine skills and mysteries.

Creating god-level qigong is not difficult at all.

"Disaster forged my body, making me indestructible through countless calamities!"

When Li Ping'an was at the Divine Power Realm and undergoing the Great Tribulation of Wind and Fire, he comprehended the Great Calamity Technique, gleaned the Void Gale from the wind, and the Divine Flame of the Universe from the fire, and mastered the Calamity King Fist, using endless calamities to forge the Indestructible Body of Ten Thousand Calamities.

Later, he comprehended the principles of the Calamity Heavenly Lord's Great Dao of Calamity and the Blade of Redemption.

Now, with all these insights converging, he intentionally imitated the Supreme True Demon's 'True Demon's Indestructible Body' and combined it with his own understanding of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique, and a unique skill appeared in his mind.

He had no intention of changing his name, so he named himself True Demon Indestructible Body.

However, its essence is completely different. It is created with the Great Catastrophe Technique as its core, and uses disasters to forge an indestructible royal body!
"Boom!"

Li Ping'an's Qi Sect cultivation dissipated, but it was not meaningless. Rolling waves and a blue-black tsunami condensed out of thin air in the secret chamber, with demonic dragons roaring and churning, stirring up the boundless sea.

"Natural disasters are the most merciless; the heavens overturn the seas and destroy humanity!"

The character "海" (sea) appeared out of thin air.

The vast ocean sank into the human world, threatening to engulf everything, like the great flood on the day of God's judgment. The terrifying pressure of the sea crushed Li Ping'an's body into pieces, but then, deep within his body, a scripture with the character "sea" appeared on his bones.

With the word "sea" appearing, the storm subsided, and there was no disaster or hardship.

A series of crackling sounds came from Li Ping'an's body as his bones and muscles were reshaped. He had successfully completed his first tribulation and was moving towards becoming an indestructible body. At the same time, waves of tribulation energy rose up like tsunamis, and in an instant, his cultivation level returned to the Qi Sect realm.

"Disasters are both dangers and opportunities." Li Ping'an was not surprised by this. This was the core concept behind his creation of this technique. Countless tribulations would only transform into his strength.

It's just unknown how much of a difference there is between it and the true 'Indestructible Body of a True Demon'.

"This script is quite interesting. I imitated the Twelve Witch Scripts and was actually able to condense it." He waved his hand, and the character "Sea" appeared out of thin air, instantly transforming into a world-destroying flood that submerged everything with unparalleled power.

If ancient scripts flowed from the endless gate of immortality, forming scrolls of scriptures, and were tempered by tribulations, could they rival, or even surpass, the writings left by the true demons on the parchment scrolls?

With the power of ancient script, it can be transformed into a body that is indestructible through trials and tribulations, perhaps even forging a body stronger than that of a true demon.

The thought came to Li Ping'an's mind; he felt it wasn't impossible.

Ultimately, even a true demon is only half a step into nothingness, while the Gate of Immortality is an unimaginable existence. It is not surprising that the ancient characters flowing from the gate contain a trace of the power of immortality.

That word, Dao, is even more so.

Li Ping'an was very interested in this. He was not in a hurry to deal with Yang Qi. Instead, he kept pondering the ancient script and the mystery between it and the True Demon Indestructible Body he created, and kept improving his cultivation technique.
