Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 321 Acquisition of the Small Universe Pearl
While in mid-air, Xuanzhenzi hurriedly swallowed a pill to heal his injuries.

This attack damaged his inner core, disrupting his spiritual energy flow and preventing him from recovering immediately. After taking a pill, he finally stopped the injury from worsening. With his peak Nascent Soul stage physique, as long as the injury does not deteriorate further, it will heal itself in a short time.

He paused in mid-air for a moment, then revealed his Dharma form again.

This time, instead of taking off, he strode straight toward Zhou Qing, his expression grave, and asked, "What kind of magic is this?"

Just now, he felt that the dark light was like a sharp sword that directly cleaved his Dharma form in two. His Dharma form was as if it were made of paper and had no power to resist.

This method was so astonishing that it was practically the nemesis of the Dharma Aspect, which made Xuanzhenzi tremble with fear.

Zhou Qing said, "Fellow Daoist, why ask so many questions? You have already lost, so leave as agreed."

Xuanzhenzi's face immediately showed a conflicted expression.

Given his arrogant nature, now that he had already lost, and to such a junior no less, how could he possibly have the face to continue fighting? He wished he could immediately cover his face and leave.

However, his visit to the Dharma propagation center this time was not for his own personal matters, but for the sake of Qingxu Dao Palace's reputation and fundamental interests, which made it impossible for him to withdraw easily.

Xuanzhenzi coughed and said, "The previous match doesn't count. I underestimated you and didn't use my true strength, so you took advantage of my weakness. If you want me to be convinced, we'll have to start over. Only if you can defeat me again this time will I be truly convinced."

Zhou Qing said, "I have no interest in you being convinced; I just want you to abide by the agreement."

Xuanzhenzi blushed slightly, thinking that since he had already denied it, he might as well deny it to the end. He said, "The previous result doesn't count. Unless we continue to compete, I will never back down."

"If you are afraid, come back to Qingxu Dao Palace with me. I guarantee with my own life that Qingxu Dao Palace will never make things difficult for you."

Zhou Qing's expression turned cold, and he sighed, "I meant well and didn't want to hurt you, so I asked you to leave on your own. But you don't know what's good for you. Since that's the case, I'll grant your wish."

Xuanzhenzi laughed and said, "Don't talk big. Beat me first. If you win again this time, I will immediately return and put in a good word for you with the Dao Palace."

Zhou Qing said, "Enough with the small talk, get ready."

Xuanzhenzi dared not be arrogant this time. In order to deal with a young junior, he used the magic weapon of the Nascent Soul Ancestor, which was really a bit unfair. However, in order to complete the mission of the Dao Palace, he had no choice but to do so.

He immediately released the small Qiankun Pearl.

The Small Universe Pearl cast a clear light, and wherever the light shone, the spiritual energy of the five elements was completely fixed.

This is the power of the Lesser Universe Pearl.

All the methods of cultivators are based on spiritual energy. All supernatural powers and spells require the cultivator to resonate with the spiritual energy in the outside world to form various spells.

This small Qiankun Pearl can stabilize the spiritual energy within a ten-mile radius, severing the resonance between the spiritual energy within a cultivator's body and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, thus preventing any spells from taking shape.

The owner of the Little Universe Pearl, having already refined the pearl, was unaffected by it and could still vibrate spiritual energy.

After being weakened by the pearl, the enemy's strength was reduced to at most 30%. Even if the opponent was a Nascent Soul expert, Xuanzhenzi would dare to step forward and fight.

So after releasing the pearl, Xuanzhenzi's courage grew, and he shouted, "You junior, just do as you please. If you can still hurt me in the slightest, Xuanzhenzi will never be your enemy again." Not only will he not be your enemy, but wherever he is, Xuanzhenzi will retreat ten miles away.

Zhou Qing chuckled inwardly, thinking to himself, "This guy really forgets the pain once the wound heals." He was about to use the Chaotic Divine Light to break through the opponent's Dharma Image again, and then use the Iron Ball Technique to strike him.

This time, he planned to cripple one of his arms as a slight punishment to prevent him from continuing to cause trouble.

But he soon felt surprised.

The Chaos Divine Light was originally formed by extremely compressed spiritual energy, so it needed to use a magnetic field to capture all the surrounding spiritual energy, compress it into a small sphere, and then emit the compressed spiritual energy.

But when he tried to use the magnetic field to capture spiritual energy, he found that the surrounding spiritual energy had become incredibly sluggish, and he had to use ten times the effort to drag it.

Under these circumstances, even with his current peak magnetic field strength, he couldn't compress spiritual energy into chaotic divine light, but at most into the previous five-colored divine light.

The Five-Colored Divine Light certainly couldn't break through the Dharma Form of a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator.

Seeing a hint of surprise flash across Zhou Qing's face, Xuanzhenzi knew that Zhou Qing had realized he could no longer use magic. So he smiled smugly and said, "Well, now you know how powerful it is, right? Your meager skills are still far from enough."

Zhou Qing smiled casually and turned his gaze to the precious pearl on Xuanzhenzi's head.

He had initially thought it was just a protective charm, but he never expected it to have such a wonderful use, which immediately piqued his interest.

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "No wonder you dared to keep arguing with me. It turns out you're relying on this treasure."

As he spoke, he reached forward and grabbed the Small Universe Pearl as if his hand had traversed space, bringing it directly to his face in the blink of an eye.

Xuanzhenzi was initially pleased to see that the precious pearl had restricted Zhou Qing's abilities and was about to continue persuading him to surrender and bring Zhou Qing under the Qingxu Dao Palace. However, he was shocked to see that Zhou Qing had somehow managed to snatch the precious pearl away.

He hurriedly tried to urge it back.

Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed in Zhou Qing's hand, as if he were holding a sun. The high temperature emanating from it, even from dozens of feet away, still made Xuanzhenzi feel terrified. He wondered to himself, if this ball of light were to burn him, could he withstand it?

The Little Qiankun Pearl throbbed vigorously a few times within the plasma cluster, and the spiritual imprint of Xuanzhenzi left within it was then cleared away by the scorching heat of the plasma cluster.

With no one activating the pearl, the surrounding spiritual energy became active again.

Zhou Qing tossed the pearl in his hand with satisfaction and laughed, "I originally intended to punish you, but I'll let you off this time for the sake of the pearl."

"You may leave now. Tell the patriarch of the Dao Palace not to send anyone to the Western Continent to cause trouble again, so as to avoid any unpleasantness between us."

When Xuanzhenzi saw that the precious pearl had been taken away by Zhou Qing, he lamented inwardly. This time, not only had he failed to complete the task entrusted to him by his senior brother, the headmaster, but he had also lost the ancestor's precious pearl to someone else. He didn't know how to explain this when he returned.

However, the person he finds most troublesome right now is Zhou Qing.

All his actions were effortless, making it impossible for people to fathom his true nature, which naturally instilled fear in them.

Xuanzhenzi said, "Young friend, your skills are superb, and I admire you greatly. However, I am just a nobody in the Qingxu Dao Palace. Don't think that just because you have defeated me, you can disregard the Dao Palace."

"For your own sake, it would be best not to become enemies with the Dao Palace."
