Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 781 Immortal Art Burning Yuan
Before he entered the Immortal Palace, he heard Taoist Chonggu mention this person's name.

Because this person's appearance was strange and sudden, he was suspected to be a demon cultivator.

At this critical moment, a person suspected to be a demon cultivator happened to be here, and he couldn't help but be alert.

Chen Mu hid his right hand under his wide sleeves as he stood behind the pillar and the eaves, a cold look on his face.

Compared to his caution, Taoist Jiumo seemed to be extremely surprised. His eyes lit up and he shouted repeatedly, "You've come just in time. Come with me and kill this man!"

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat and his face looked a little ugly.

In the past, he would not have taken a demon cultivator who was in the early Nascent Soul stage and looked ordinary seriously.

But right now, his energy and vitality were completely depleted, and his fighting power was only one tenth of what it was. It was already a struggle for him to deal with Taoist Jiu Mo, who was also in no better condition, and now with this person on the scene...

The situation has reversed again!

Such a dramatic reversal, even Chen Mu couldn't help cursing in his heart...

Xiao Qiheng looked surprised, his eyes flickering back and forth between Chen Mu and the other man. Only after hearing Taoist Jiu Mo's shout did he come to his senses and bowed to him, "Master."

"Master?" Chen Mu was stunned again.

Taoist Jiu Mo scolded, "What time is it? Why are you still being so polite? Kill this beast for me!"

But Xiao Qiheng still did not move. Instead, his body became lighter and he lowered his head, making it impossible to see his expression in his eyes.

"Why don't you take action?!" Taoist Jiumo gritted his teeth, already furious.

But almost the moment he opened his mouth, Xiao Qiheng said in a muffled voice: "Master, I have something to ask you..."

In the Golden Palace, only the sound of residual inspiration surging remained.

Chen Mu's eyes moved slightly, and he noticed a slightly unusual atmosphere between the two of them.

He temporarily dispelled the idea of ​​casting a spell, remained silent, and tried his best to minimize his presence.

Perhaps the situation has not really turned around yet...

Taoist Jiumo was not a stupid person. Looking at Xiao Qiheng, who was contrary to his usual obedient attitude, he suddenly came to his senses.

He had never told her that he was going to enter the Immortal Palace, but now that the two of them had suddenly met in the Thirty-Sixth Palace, why didn't Xiao Qiheng look surprised at all...

He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and replied, "Why are you asking me?"

Xiao Qingheng still lowered his head: "Master, are you a cultivator of the devilish way?"

Taoist Jiumo immediately snorted angrily and retorted: "Traitor, the skills that your master has passed on to you are all the great Dao of Xuanmen. Why do you think so?!"

"It's true that Master taught me the profound skills, but..."

Xiao Qingheng pursed his lips, his tone sinking: "You are also teaching magic skills in the Demonic Heaven Alliance, right?"

Taoist Jiumo was startled: "When did you know about this?"

He thought to himself that he had never behaved like this in front of him before, so what went wrong?
Xiao Qiheng didn't answer, but his emotions suddenly became agitated, and he clenched his fists. "So, the death of our old father...was also at your instruction, and that's why the demonic cultivator attacked him?"

Taoist Jiu Mo was a little surprised when he heard this, but he soon understood. He smiled coldly and said, "It seems that the old man left some last thoughts..."

He paused, then frankly admitted, "Yes, I sent someone to kill that old man, but I did it all for you, my disciple!"

"You have cultivated my profound skills and have broken into the Nascent Soul stage, but because of your lack of foundation, it will be difficult for you to advance further."

"It just so happens that the old man's time is approaching. If I take his blood and refine a powerful elixir, based on our blood relationship, I can make up for your inherent deficiencies."

"From now on, my disciple, you have hope for a bright future. In the future, you can even ascend to the immortal realm with me. That old man is about to die. Being able to help us sort out our paths, it can be considered a worthy death..."

Chen Mu was paying attention to the movements here and thought to himself, "That old man... must be the Xiao clan leader that Chonggu and the others were talking about. No wonder this person is the one who came to the Immortal Palace. It turns out he's already dead..."

Xiao Qiheng remained silent and motionless, his body trembling slightly, as if he could not accept it.

Taoist Jiumo did not feel ashamed, but instead said in a loud voice: "How can we cultivators like us be bound by blood ties?"

"Besides, when you offended the Dragon Palace and were hunted by them, that old man drove you out of the country to protect his family. Did he ever consider your situation?"

"If you hadn't met me by chance, you would have died long ago, and there would be no way you could achieve Nascent Soul status today."

"Compared to him, I am the one you should obey!"

He shouted loudly, and the sound in the Golden Palace was like thunder, as if to warn the world.

Chen Mu's eyelids twitched slightly, and he sneered, "Only fellow Daoist can say such righteous words."

Taoist Jiumo ignored him and just stared at Xiao Qiheng.

Perhaps because it was a matter of life and death, even he felt his heart in his throat, and the "thump thump" sound was particularly loud.

In the final analysis, the reason why he values ​​Xiao Qiheng so much is because he really needs Xiao Qiheng to break the deadlock right now.

Secondly, Xiao Qiheng possesses a special and rare spiritual body, which is extremely important to him, especially after the immortal spirit energy is exhausted, it is related to his last hope of returning to heaven.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have taken the precautions to cultivate him to achieve Nascent Soul and fill in the gaps in his foundation...

"But now I doubt..."

Xiao Qiheng suddenly looked up, his red eyes flashing with cold light: "When I committed a crime in the Dragon Palace, it was also deliberately done by my mentor!"

More than a hundred years ago, a shocking scandal suddenly broke out in the East China Sea.

The daughter of Biluo, a relative of the Dragon Palace, was originally in love with the son of the Xiao family of Mianshui and was about to get married.

Just when all the cultivators in the East China Sea thought that a wonderful thing was about to happen, for some unknown reason, the Xiao family member of Mianshui suddenly became beastly and raped the daughter of the Biluo family to death!

Once the incident was exposed, it shocked the entire East China Sea cultivation world.

Although the matter was fraught with doubt, Biluo witnessed the tragic state of her beloved daughter and the naked Xiao son beside her, so how could she remain calm? She immediately requested the Dragon Palace to execute Xiao son to set the record straight.

Xiao's son woke up in shock and tried to explain himself, but Biluo was furious and used all her moves to kill him. He naturally did not want to die, so he could only try his best to escape.

Fortunately, the Biluo clan was not very powerful, and he was able to break out.

However, the Xiao family didn't dare to intervene to keep him. After a fruitless attempt, the Xiao family member could only flee to another continent and never dared to contact the family again...

Others may not know the details of this matter, and dare not discuss it due to fear of the majesty of the Dragon Palace, but Xiao Qiheng himself knows that he was corrupted by a demonic intent and committed such a deadly act of essence-collecting.

At that time, he thought he was possessed by a demon, but now when he thinks back on it, he can't help but feel terrified...
Taoist Jiumo had a blank expression on his face, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Looking at Xiao Qiheng's intense gaze, he slowly asked, "Why should I do this?"

Xiao Qiheng paused, feeling a little shaken. "Yes, why did Master do this?"

"I think I have nothing special, and my talent is not particularly outstanding. Why would my mentor go to such great lengths to make me deserted by everyone..."

He was not a decisive person, otherwise he would not have been so passive back then.

Now that he was stumped by the question, he hesitated again.

Chen Mu shook his head and reminded him at the right time: "This fellow Taoist is really confused. The revenge for your father's murder came first, why do you have to think so much!"

Taoist Jiu Mo also shouted at almost the same time: "Do you really want to disregard the century-old friendship between master and disciple? Hurry up and do it!"

Xiao Qiheng raised his eyes, hesitating and unable to speak, just like he had been over a hundred years ago...

Chen Mu was secretly moved, thinking that this person was not very useful, and he didn't know why Taoist Jiumo valued him so much.

After a while, Xiao Qiheng still hadn't moved. Regardless of how furious Taoist Jiumo was, even Chen Mu couldn't bear it any longer.

Taoist Jiumo must die, no matter how great the cost!
He silently sensed the essence of his Dao body and thought to himself, "If I were to suddenly launch an arrow, I might be able to kill him with one strike!"

Thinking of this, he secretly formed a hand seal, and a small dragon bird flew out with a knife in its mouth. Then he stepped heavily, and the whole person and the dragon bird flying knife rushed forward together.

"boom!"

Taoist Jiu Mo was still scolding when he heard a loud noise and looked up. He saw a figure in a black robe approaching like a ghost. His heart trembled and he shouted, "Xiao Qiheng, if I die, you will die in an instant!"

Xiao Qiheng subconsciously wanted to lend a helping hand, but when he thought of the revenge for his father's murder that Chen Mu had mentioned earlier, he stopped abruptly.

He looked deeply at Taoist Jiumo with his bloodshot eyes, then snorted angrily and turned to leave.

“Traitor, traitor!!”

Jiu Mo Dao Ren's soul trembled with anger, but the next moment he felt a sharp attack coming at him. He didn't have time to think about it anymore, and the hostility in his heart instantly grew!
"You ignorant little thief, even if I die, I will destroy your soul!"

There was a rumbling shout, and his soul was stilled, and a faint red color suddenly appeared around his body.

Chen Mu's heart was touched, and a familiar feeling came over him, as if as long as he continued to move forward, he would die and return to nothingness.

"You dare to risk your life, don't tell me I can't do it?"

He didn't care and continued to send the dragon bird forward, aiming at that immortal soul!
In an instant, the sky and the earth became bright, and the surrounding pillars, platforms, corridors and eaves appeared and disappeared, as if they were about to escape from the world into nothingness.

A wisp of smoke curled up, its whereabouts were uncertain, and at the beginning of the smoke, a bunch of bean-sized white flames quietly emerged, expanding and contracting in a regular pattern.

Yet, even this seemingly harmless, bean-sized flame, easily extinguished by a breeze, sent chills down the spines of everyone present. Even the surrounding universe began to resonate with the sound of being unable to bear the weight, constantly collapsing, breaking, and then reforming...

It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it also seemed like only a moment had passed. The flame suddenly became extremely solid, as if it penetrated the past and the future, and floated towards Chen Mu extremely slowly.

Chen Mu's pupils trembled violently, and a feeling of palpitations arose spontaneously that he had never experienced since he started practicing Taoism.

Although he dared to fight to the death, how could he do such a thing as seeking death?
He stopped decisively and retreated quickly.

But what he didn't expect was that no matter how fast he flew, the flame never moved away from him at all, and even as time passed, it was still getting closer to him.

This extraordinary move once again proved that his feelings were correct.

"I must not let this flame fall on me!"

His heart was trembling wildly, but he calmed his mind suddenly, his expression was more solemn than ever before, and he made hand seals and gestures with his hands, throwing out all the magic treasures and talismans at once.

There were some gray hairs originally, but in an instant they turned silver-white!
For a moment, the Golden Palace was divided into two polarities. On one side, red and white light shone, smoke billowed, and yet there was an eerie, dead silence. On the other side, multicolored spiritual light burst forth, and spiritual energy roared, as if the Milky Way had overturned, the surrounding mountains had broken apart, and the world was lost...

The next moment, the two collided with a loud bang!
However, there was no earth-shattering roar that shook the world and made the ghosts weep, nor was there the imagined equal share.

A beam of flame floated forward lightly, and there was no other movement.

In just a few breaths, it penetrated all the obscuring haze and landed brightly on Chen Mu's pointed fingertips...

"call!"

But after hearing a slight sound, the white flame suddenly exploded, and in an instant it wrapped around Chen Mu's entire right finger, making a teeth-grinding "crackling" sound.

In an instant, a burning pain that penetrated his soul came over him. Although Chen Mu was prepared, he still lost his voice and his face was almost distorted.

Fortunately, he collected his thoughts very quickly, and while enduring the severe pain, he summoned a touch of water to penetrate in the opposite direction.

However, in less than a breath, the water-colored light was evaporated and melted away, and the pure white flame did not decrease at all. It even went further and encompassed several fingers around it, and then the entire palm and even the entire arm were ignited with pure white flames!

At the same time, white flames also ignited in the depths of Chen Mu's sea of ​​consciousness and above his Nascent Soul.

The most terrifying of all was the sea of ​​consciousness, which was now a sea of ​​fire. His soul was trapped on the spiritual platform and was obviously in imminent danger.

Judging from the speed of its spread, it would only take a few breaths to burn him completely into nothingness...

And how could Chen Mu just sit there and wait for death?

A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he decisively drew a golden line, which fell resolutely from his arm!

"Clap!"

His right arm fell off, and because he not only cut off his own body, but also his Nascent Soul and soul were cut off one arm.

If the Dao body is damaged, it can still be restored, but if the Yuanying or even the soul is damaged, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven...

However, Chen Mu had no time to think about anything else at this moment. He concentrated his mind on exploring his soul. After seeing the sea of ​​fire weaken, before he could feel happy, he saw his left arm suddenly burn without fire.

Without hesitation, he used another golden thread to sever his left arm, but the next moment, his legs burst into flames again...

Chen Mu was already numb, perhaps because his soul was damaged and burned, his consciousness was already blurred.

But even so, his behavior remained the same, and he summoned the golden thread to pass through his legs...

However, this is like adding fuel to a fire. Even if it delays the fire a little longer, the fire will not be extinguished.

Until the end, Chen Mu had lost all consciousness, all his limbs were gone, and he was lying in the Golden Palace, with white flames still surging on his body.

After a while, even the last part of the torso disappeared without a trace...

Coming from nothing and returning to nothing, burning the soul and essence, it can be said to be... the immortal art of burning essence!
"despair……"

A water lily about an inch long fell down, but the water was still clear and eye-catching.

Only a trace of Taoist Jiu Mo's immortal soul remained, and he had originally had little consciousness. However, upon seeing this, he suddenly woke up and exclaimed in ecstasy, "Xiantian Ren Water, it's Xiantian Ren Water!!"
