After practicing Qi for a thousand years, one can finally become a god!

Chapter 229 The Ghost Blocking the Door
"Qi Huang was actually killed by the Shadow Monkey?!"

Qi Shengzhen never expected this.

It should be noted that when he fought Qi Huang, he was completely outmatched and had no chance to fight back.

That was the first time Qi Sheng realized the power of the Invincible Realm.

Yet this incredibly powerful and invincible being was actually killed by the shadow monkey he summoned?
"A ten-star demon is that powerful?"

Qi Sheng was now somewhat worried. Could the Netherworld Sect really subdue the Shadow Monkey?
He looked at the woman and asked again, "Where is that three-headed, six-armed demon now?"

The woman answered without hesitation: "After being led into the Netherworld Sect, I disappeared without a trace. Some say I was killed by the Netherworld Sect's Supreme Ancestor, while others say I was suppressed by the Netherworld Sect's great formation. I only know what I've heard, and I don't know the specifics."

Qi Sheng then released the woman and said loudly, "From now on, never sneak around spying on others again. If you encounter a demon, your life will be over."

He waved the woman away, not bothering to argue.

"Thank you, Sect Leader Xie, for sparing my life!"

The beautiful woman was overjoyed and ran away without looking back.

After she left, Qi Sheng looked towards the direction of the Netherworld Sect in the east and thought to himself, "The Ten-Star Demon can kill the Invincible, but now there is no movement. Whether it is suppressed or killed in return, it is enough to show that the Netherworld Sect has a deep foundation and many killing moves."

Qi Sheng secretly rejoiced.

Fortunately, the eight-star 'Eight-Clawed Lion King' and the ten-star 'Shadow Monkey' were used to probe the Netherworld Sect's strength. Otherwise, rashly confronting an invincible expert like Qi Huang, or recklessly intruding into the Netherworld Sect, would likely have brought disaster upon them.

“The ‘Octopus Lion King’ will die in my place.”

“'Shadow Monkey' is my vanguard.”

Qi Sheng believed that his survival skills were not much worse than those of the eight-star Eight-Clawed Lion King, but he dared not compare himself to the ten-star demons. He became increasingly wary of the Netherworld Sect.

But he didn't panic.

Because he knew—

"After this battle, the Netherworld Sect should be more wary of me than I am of it!"

……

Qi Sheng was clear-headed and his thoughts were spot on.

now.

The Netherworld Sect, the Netherworld Palace, the Daytime Sky Hall.

Acquaintances gathered here, and inside were—

Nanmen Feiying, the leader of the Netherworld Sect.

Wu Wang, the Supreme Elder of the Netherworld Sect.

Sima Dongchou, the Supreme Elder of the Netherworld Sect.

Li Wuxian, the Supreme Elder of the Netherworld Sect.

Feng Baichuan, the Supreme Elder of the Netherworld Sect.

Feng Gu, the Supreme Elder of the Netherworld Sect.

Li Yun, the Supreme Elder of the Netherworld Sect.

Apart from the deceased Qi Huang, the remaining seven Invincible Realm experts of the Netherworld Sect are all here. Among them, Nanmen Feiying and Wu Wang are seriously injured, but no trace of their injuries can be seen at this moment. It is unknown whether they have recovered or are simply concealing their injuries.

At this moment.

The seven men had different expressions on their faces; some were silent, some were solemn, and some were furious. For example, Wu Wang said, "Qi Sheng must die!"

Nanmen Feiying smiled wryly: "Easier said than done."

Sima Dongchou said in a deep voice, "This person has mastered the Great Shift, making him appear and disappear like a ghost. He can even escape right under your noses. With this move, he is already in an invincible position."

Wu Wang was unwilling to give up: "With the 'Death-Slaying Blade' out, who can compete with it? Once we meet, we'll see whether Qi Sheng's escape technique is faster or the Death-Slaying Blade is faster!"

Li Yun, the Supreme Ancestor of the Blackwater Li family, one of the five surnames and seven noble families of the Netherworld Sect, frowned and said, "Treasures are not easily revealed. This is a treasure used to suppress the sect's fortune. We have already expended a lot of resources to deal with that 'Shadow Monkey' this time, so we cannot act rashly."

Furthermore——

"Unless we kill Qi Sheng in one blow, the fact that he was able to summon the 'Shadow Monkey' has already caused our Netherworld Sect to suffer heavy losses by mobilizing all its forces. Who knows if pushing him too far will cause him to summon even more invincible monsters?"

"That shadow monkey, we've already exhausted all our strength to deal with just one of them."

"We were able to injure and suppress them this time, but what will we do if three or five more come?"

Li Yun looked at Wu Wang, her pretty face serious: "At that time, I'm afraid the Netherworld Sect's more than a thousand years of foundation will be completely destroyed!"

Wu Wang's face darkened.

Nanmen Feiying nodded repeatedly: "This is what I fear most."

He said with a wry smile, "The question now is not whether we can cause trouble for Qi Sheng, but whether Qi Sheng will continue to cause trouble for us."

Wu Wang's heart sank: "Are we just going to let Qi Sheng go like this? Is the entire Netherworld Sect really going to abandon its reputation and just let a shameless brat ride roughshod over us?"

He glanced at everyone present and asked, "Aren't you going to avenge Brother Qi either?"

Everyone was silent.

Nanmen Feiying stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "To be honest, Brother Qi was killed by that Shadow Monkey. We severely injured and suppressed the Shadow Monkey, which is already considered revenge for him. Let's not drag Qi Sheng into this."

Li Yun, who was also a proponent of peace, chimed in, "That makes sense. Besides, even though it's a matter of life and death, Brother Qi is still alive, isn't he?"

Can he still live?
Upon hearing this, no one present was surprised; they all clearly knew what was going on.

And just as Li Yun finished speaking—

boom!
A booming sound came from the distant 'Hall of Immortality', indicating that someone had kicked over the coffin lid and made a powerful return to the Hall of Daybreak.

Everyone looked towards the palace gate and saw that the person who came was none other than Qi Huang, who had been forcefully killed by the Shadow Monkey just yesterday.

Qi Huang!

Dead, then alive again!
……

Inside the Netherworld Palace.

Qi Huang's return from the dead surprised everyone present, who clearly already knew about this scene. No wonder there was no widespread mourning or relentless fighting for the life of an invincible expert.

Death is a great enmity.

You'll be fine once you're resurrected.

Qi Huang's face was pale at this moment. He didn't need to participate in the previous meeting; he could tell what everyone was thinking just by looking at the atmosphere at the scene.

Upon his return, he set aside his hatred and calmly said, "Kill Qi Sheng if you can. If you can't, it would be best to recruit him into the Netherworld Sect and make him one of our own."

Wu Wang frowned.

Li Yun asked him, "What are your thoughts, Brother Qi?"

Everyone was paying attention.

Qi Huang's expression remained calm: "First of all, we cannot be careless in our attempt to kill Qi Sheng. I suggest that we mobilize the 'Death-Slaying Blade' and the 'Twenty-Four Solar Terms Banner' and go all out to kill Qi Sheng, so as not to give him another chance to summon the Invincible Realm monster."

Li Yun sighed, "What if we still can't kill him even after all this?"

The subtext is that what doesn't kill Qi Sheng will only make him stronger, and the ones who will suffer the consequences are the Netherworld Sect, who are innocent people who originally had no grudges or entanglements with Qi Sheng.

In Li Yun's opinion, there was no need for that.

However, the Netherworld Sect has stood at the pinnacle of the Barbarian Frontier for far too many years, and these invincible beings have stood at the pinnacle of the Barbarian Frontier for far too many years. Each of them possesses the characteristic of immortality, and has long since developed a mentality of looking down on the world and regarding all living beings as ants.

now.

Faced with Qi Sheng's provocation, they decided to stand up for themselves rather than risk their lives.

"Fortunately, I won't die."

"You don't even dare to take a gamble?"

Having died once, Qi Huang was the most qualified to speak: "If you all dare not make a move, I will lead the way this time. With the God-Slaying Blade in hand, I will surely be able to cut off Qi Sheng's dog head!"

Sima Dongchou ignored all this empty rhetoric; all he cared about was: "What if we can't kill Qi Sheng?"

Wu Wang chimed in, "Brother Qi is right. Let's try killing one first. If we can't kill him, we can make peace with Qi Sheng then."

He laughed and said, "That Qi Sheng is quite capable. If even the 'Death God Blade' and the 'Twenty-Four Solar Terms Banner' can't do anything to him, then we should naturally turn enemies into friends."

Li Yun found it amusing: "Shake hands and make peace? Turn enemies into friends? It's easy to say. What if Qi Shengru is unwilling?"

Wu Wang laughed loudly: "Unwilling? Then let's fight to the death! Qi Sheng is unkillable and fearless, but do you think we invincible realm cultivators are afraid of a mere junior?"

Qi Huang declared with an air of righteous indignation: "Peace is not something to begged for, but something to be fought for!"

After Li Yun and Sima Dong made their scandalous remarks, and looking at the others, it was clear that everyone except Nanmen Feiying supported Qi Huang and Wu Wang's statements.

Yes!

The Invincible Realm is invincible by nature.

With the Undying Hall in the Netherworld Palace capable of resurrection at any time, who is afraid of whom?

In recent years, the Netherworld Sect has never uttered a single word of cowardice, even compared to the other four sects.

Qi Sheng?

Who are you?!
Qi Sheng didn't know what kind of meeting was being held in the Netherworld Sect, but he knew it was all about him, and there were only three possibilities—

One option is to fight him to the death.

Second, they shook hands and made peace.

Third, ignore it completely.

Regardless of the situation, Qi Sheng is not a passive person. He will not wait for the Netherworld Sect to come knocking on his door before making a decision. If he wants to fight, he will have a fierce and decisive battle within the Netherworld Sect's mountain gate. If he wants to negotiate, that's easy too. If they agree to some of Qi Sheng's demands, everything will be fine.

“The moment I summoned the ‘Octopus Lion King,’ my position and that of the Netherworld Sect had already shifted.”

Qi Sheng smiled and strode straight towards the Netherworld Sect.

This was Qi Sheng's first open and aboveboard return to the Netherworld Sect in many years, and once again he saw the place where his dream began—

Eryi Jiangshen Peak.

"I can say that I've made a triumphant return."

Qi Shengli glanced at the mountain from afar, then lifted his foot to go inside.

suddenly.

At this time.

boom!
The earth rumbled, and the entire sky was enveloped in it.

next moment.

The struggle with addiction was overwhelming, leaving one feeling utterly lost and confused.

Banners fluttered in all directions, and those holding the flagpoles were immortal divine generals.

Qi Sheng frowned slightly as he stood among them, recognizing at a glance: "The Twenty-Four Solar Terms Banner, the Immortal Divine General."

He had long heard that the Netherworld Sect possessed four supreme treasures, one of which was called the "Twenty-Four Solar Terms Banner," which consisted of twenty-four banners and was held by immortal generals in the War God Hall.

What is an 'Immortal God General'?
That is, to master all twenty-four solar terms and achieve perfection, like Qi Sanniang, is a person of the pinnacle.

However, she is different from Qi San Niang.

Well known.

Cultivating immortality brings longevity, while practicing martial arts leads to a short life.

Even if a cultivator is only at the ninth level, they still have a lifespan of three hundred years.

However, if a martial artist does not cultivate Taoism, even if he fully masters the "Twenty-Four Solar Terms Techniques," he will only have a lifespan of a little over a hundred years, and he will all die when his time comes.

Like Qi San Niang.

She may seem glamorous now, but even if she takes another step beyond the pinnacle, she will still die young.

unless--

"By dedicating oneself to the banners of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms, one unites man and vessel, achieving immortality."

in this way.

They could also live to be 500 years old.

It will be immortal and indestructible for five hundred years.

However, the price is that from then on, these people are like spirits of weapons. Although they have some authority to wield the battle flags, the twenty-four banners representing the twenty-four solar terms were ultimately refined by the combined efforts of the invincible realm experts of the Netherworld Sect. In other words, the lives of these twenty-four immortal generals who have devoted themselves to the battle flags are all tied to the eight invincible realm experts. Any one of them has the authority to wield, command, and annihilate these immortal generals.

Seemingly immortal.

It is called a puppet.

Qi Sheng was quite disdainful.

However, within the Netherworld Sect, these twenty-four Immortal slots are the lifelong pursuit of many peak martial arts cultivators who have mastered the "Seasonal Techniques".

Generation after generation.

Martial arts are easy to cultivate, and pigs make rapid progress.

For five hundred years, people have continuously mastered the "Solar Terms Exercise" and have continuously updated and replaced it, so that the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Banners are always fully staffed with the Twenty-Four Immortal Generals.

"Although I look down on it, Qi San Niang and the others take it very seriously."

"Moreover, for the Netherworld Sect, not to mention the power of the 'Twenty-Four Solar Terms Banners' in their formation, just the twenty-four immortal generals they create are twenty-four unparalleled combatants."

"Even without the emergence of the Invincible Realm, the twenty-four Immortal God Generals are enough to dominate the mortal world."

Qi Sheng knew the power of the 'Solar Term Banners' and the 'Immortal Generals', and he also knew that he was currently surrounded by the Twenty-Four Solar Term Banners, but he was not flustered at all.

Looking around, he saw twenty-four immortal generals exuding murderous intent. He knew exactly what the Netherworld Sect was thinking. Since that was the case, there was no need to be polite anymore.

Open your heavenly eye, and the entire void is filled with demons!
Qi Sheng met his gaze, then let out a sinister laugh—

"I see you!"

next moment.

boom.

Strange things are happening!

……

between heaven and earth.

The 24 solar terms change.

The moment the battle formation locked onto Qi Sheng, Qi Huang appeared, raising his God-Slaying Blade, and brought it down on Qi Sheng's dog-like head.

This strike stole the light of the sun and moon, dimming the stars. Not long ago, it was this very strike that shone so brightly, slashing three times in succession, severing two heads and four arms of the 'Shadow Monkey' in its three-headed, six-armed form, severely injuring it before suppressing it.

Today, we are going to use the same old trick again to kill Qi Sheng.

and.

That 'Shadow Monkey' is an invincible anomaly, an invincible being within the invincible realm.

It can survive the God-Slaying Blade.

But what about Qi Sheng?

Not invincible.

It's still a long way from being invincible.

Qi Huang was certain that as long as Qi Sheng didn't have time to use his escape technique, he would surely die by this blade.

As for the other invincible monsters he summoned before his death, that is not a concern. After all, once Qi Sheng dies, these monsters will be like rootless duckweed, and they can be suppressed and killed sooner or later.

But if Qi Sheng doesn't die, he has the ability to summon these monsters. No matter how many come, he can't kill them all. That would be truly troublesome and hopeless.

Therefore.

"Ignore the strangeness."

"Qi Sheng must die!"

Filled with resentment, Qi Huang raised his sword and suddenly aimed to kill Qi Sheng.

however.

Since Qi Sheng had come to the Netherworld Sect, he was naturally prepared. The moment the 'Twenty-Four Solar Terms Grand Array' was set up, and even before the God-Slaying Blade appeared, he had already locked eyes with the void.

This time it's not the Eight-Clawed Lion King.

It's not a shadow monkey either.

It wasn't just one target, but rather a simultaneous confrontation with a three-headed demon—

One was a woman dressed in a blue robe.

One is a toad covered in fleshy growths.

One is an ape with silver fur all over its body.

The moment their eyes met, it seemed as if a series of murmurs echoed through the heavens and earth, reverberating in Qi Sheng's mind. He had never heard that language before, but in a daze, he seemed to understand that the three monsters were speaking—

"I see you!"

"I see you!"

"I see you!"

next moment.

boom!
The three-headed demon was terrifying and ferocious, appearing directly from the void. The sense of illusion disappeared, and the sense of reality was overwhelming.

storm!

Sweep!

The true form has arrived!
