Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 424 The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts Breaks the Immobilization Technique, Sixth Brother?

"What kind of spell is this?"

Liu Sheng was horrified. He tried his best to activate his internal energy, but found that he couldn't mobilize it at all.

He could only move his eyes, and out of the corner of his eye he saw that Du Bingyan next to him was in the same state, which made him break out in a cold sweat.

An irresistible force seemed to have ripped them out of time and space, imprisoning them in place, unable to move no matter what they did.

Then, a figure appeared in my line of sight...

A middle-aged nun, still charming and graceful, dressed in a plain white robe, skipped and hopped over.

It was none other than Abbess Jingyue!
She was hunched over, hopping around, and scratching her ears and cheeks from time to time, making her look rather strange.

Rather than calling it a person, it's more accurate to say it's—

A monkey demon in human skin!
"Jie Jie Jie..."

After Abbess Jingyue appeared, she chuckled a few times, circled around Liu and Du a few times, looked left and right, sniffed right and scratched their ears a few times, and finally stopped in front of Liu Sheng:
"Hehe, I've finally waited for you!"

He then glanced at Du Bingyan sideways, his face full of undisguised disgust:

"Another annoying old woman has arrived, reeking of Buddhist stench. I might as well kill her!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her finger, about to poke Du Bingyan on the forehead.

If that finger strike lands squarely, given her terrifying power to condense her qi into soldiers and kill a deity with a single blow, Du Bingyan would likely follow in the footsteps of her elders.

Liu Sheng was so anxious that his eyes darted around. He couldn't control his internal energy and his body was imprisoned in place, unable to move. Instinctively, he activated the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique, trying to break free and rescue Du Bingyan.

Magic, techniques, and martial arts are essentially all about understanding "Tao" and the derivation and extension of the concept of longevity.

The closer this understanding is to the "Tao," the higher the quality of the spells, techniques, and martial arts derived from it will be.

The higher the grade, the higher the priority of its utility in mutual confrontation.

In other words, the effects of high-grade techniques and spells can offset, ignore, borrow, or cover the effects of low-grade techniques and spells.

For example, it is a natural law that water overcomes fire, but high-level fire-attribute spells can overcome low-level water-attribute spells, thus breaking this "natural law".

The demon possessing Abbess Jingyue used a highly advanced immobilization spell, which allowed it to forcefully freeze the two of them in place, rendering them unable to move.

However, he also possesses a martial arts technique of a very high grade, namely the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique!

The first guardian deity skill of Taoism, the method of achieving sainthood through physical body cultivation, is a rare and profound technique in the Three Realms of the Primordial World.

Erlang Shen secured his position as the head of the third generation of Taoist disciples by relying on this profound skill.

Once unleashed, it radiates a golden and jade-like light, resembling neither gold nor jade, possessing characteristics of softness, hardness, resilience, and strength.

More importantly, within this golden and precious light, there was a mysterious and profound aura that lingered slightly around him...

The immobilization spell that had bound him was instantly broken, and he returned to normal.

"Wait a minute!"

Liu Sheng hissed, pulling Du Bingyan backward while shouting, "

"Senior, I have something to say!"

Unexpectedly, Abbess Jingyue chuckled as if she hadn't heard, and continued to press her finger forward towards Du Bingyan's head.

"boom!"

Liu Sheng felt a chill run down his spine. He activated his talent "Chaotic Thunder Strike," unleashing several bolts of lightning backward. With a flash, he used his talent "Thunder Escape" to almost instantly teleport several dozen feet away.

But when he looked back, Master Jingyue was quietly standing in front of him, her outstretched finger moving even closer to Du Bingyan's forehead.

Afterwards, he tried to dodge and evade using various talents such as "Fire Flash", "Earth Spirit" and "Four Fiends Yin Water", but none of them worked.

No matter how fast, how far, or how suddenly he retreated, the other person seemed to be right in front of him, forming a single entity with him, advancing and retreating together. And that outstretched finger was still slowly descending, about to poke Du Bingyan's forehead.

The demon possessing Abbess Jingyue before him was the strongest opponent he had encountered since his transmigration!
Perhaps only Song Yingtian, who is equally unfathomable, can rival him.

And now——

"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!"

The sound was like the clash of metal, sharp and piercing, with a surging and turbulent demonic aura that caused the golden and jade treasures to shimmer like waves.

Liu Sheng made a sudden move, seizing the finger that Master Jingyue was thrusting at Du Bingyan just three inches from her forehead.

Talent, indestructible!
Talent, the power to uproot mountains!
Cultivation technique: Eight-Nine Arcane Arts!
At this moment, he exerted all his strength, his entire body enveloped in dazzling light, veins bulging on his forehead, muscles taut all over his body, eyes glaring angrily, tears welling up at the corners of his eyes...

It's clearly just a finger, yet it's heavier than a mountain and more imposing than a great peak!

Even if the Thousand Peaks Pagoda were to unleash its full power, it still couldn't compare!

Fortunately, he activated his talent "Bearing the Mountain," which made his bones and muscles stronger the heavier the pressure he bore. This made Liu Sheng's already terrifyingly strong physique even harder and more resilient, far exceeding the level of Vajra Indestructible Lv6.

"Jie Jie..."

Just then, Abbess Jingyue let out a strange laugh, deliberately withdrew her strength, and in a flash, sat on the remaining half of the Guanyin statue, looking down at Liu Sheng and the other person:

"Not bad, not bad. You've learned that person's signature move and practiced it quite well. Good job, hehe!"

Damn, I almost died!

Liu Sheng exhaled a heavy breath, and looking down, he saw that his left palm was almost pierced through, with flesh and blood showing through the bones.

Fortunately, he was physically strong and full of vitality. In particular, after activating his talent "Return to Origin", his wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few breaths, only a white mark remained.

Even the terrifying demonic energy that clung to the wounds was purified by the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, leaving no residue.

"Master..."

At this moment, Du Bingyan, who had survived the ordeal, came to her senses, looked at that familiar face, and subconsciously called out.

"Pah! Pah! Pah! I'm not your master!"

Master Jingyue leaped to her feet, jumping wildly on the ground, the ceiling, and the walls, scratching her ears and cheeks in exasperation, and threatened:
"Little girl, if you keep yelling like that, even if that idiot next to you is protecting you, I'll still beat you to death with this stick!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce demonic wind arose in the underground palace, and a murderous aura surged forth like a raging storm, wave after wave rushing towards the two of them.

"Don't worry, senior. It was just a temporary habit of hers. She won't do it again."

Liu Sheng winked at Du Bingyan, signaling her to be quiet, and then shielded her behind him.

Then, his eyes darted around, and he tried to get closer to her by saying:

"I feel an instant connection with you, senior. May I ask how you are addressed?"

"Hehe, you're asking me what my name is? How interesting!"

Master Jingyue chuckled strangely, emerged from Liu Sheng's right side, patted him on the shoulder, and shook her head:
"I have my own name... I've also used someone else's name, and I've even been a Buddhist monk, and then... never mind, let's not dwell on the past, just call me Sixth Brother!"

Sixth child?

Is he the sixth child, or does his name contain the character "six," or is it just something he said offhand?
I feel like I should remember something, but I just can't seem to recall it.

Several thoughts raced through Liu Sheng's mind, filled with doubt, but his face remained impassive. He addressed the speaker as "Sixth Senior" and asked:

"You just said you've been waiting for me?"
