From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 135 Everyone in the world is talking about it
Although there is no disciple's destiny that he likes to copy for the time being, Li Qingqiu feels very comfortable as long as he has the opportunity to choose a destiny.

He looked to the side, where Chu Jing, Nangong E, and Lin Chuan were all cultivating the Hunyuan Scripture. Chu Jing displayed his strong aptitude, and his cultivation speed far surpassed that of Nangong E and Lin Chuan, which made him very satisfied.

These three ghosts will become part of his power in the future.

Lin Chuan was in charge of gathering intelligence, Nangong E was in charge of cleaning up the mess for him, and Chu Jing was in charge of fighting for him.

Li Qingqiu likes to understand the enemy's strength before taking action. Once he determines that someone is weak, he will attack without hesitation, making the enemy experience the most terrifying consequences.

He withdrew his gaze and began practicing the Great Demon-Slaying Golden Hand.

The Great Demon-Slaying Golden Hand is an offensive spell that requires the practitioner to first cultivate a physical restriction within their body. When casting the Great Demon-Slaying Golden Hand, there is no need to chant incantations or perform any initial movements, catching the enemy off guard. As for its power, that remains to be seen in actual combat.

The Great Demon-Slaying Golden Hand is one of the three inheritance rewards he unlocked. The other two inheritance rewards are the Five Elements Profound Heart Flame and the Jade Purity Restriction Manual.

These two inheritance awards are excellent and will promote the development of Qingxiao Sect.

The Five Elements Profound Heart Flame can be used not only in combat, but also in forging weapons and refining pills. The Jade Purity Restriction Manual records the restrictions on various magical artifacts. Mastering this manual will grant one a certain level of combat power, which is of great help to both individuals and sects.

Li Qingqiu had already written down the three spells. He handed the Jade Purity Restriction Manual to Zhu Yan and Ming Guang, who had created the Spirit Gathering Array. The two were very happy, especially Ming Guang, whose loyalty level soared to 96.

Chu Jing also wrote down the Heaven-Mending Array he obtained. The Heaven-Mending Array could draw out the spiritual energy underground, which gave him a long-term plan: to use the Heaven-Mending Array to encircle the entire Taikun Mountain Range.

In the future, more formations can be injected into the Heaven-Mending Formation to form a protective mechanism.

After defeating Zhao Zhi, Li Qingqiu became even more determined, because there were so many things he needed to do.

After cultivating in the underground spiritual lake for two days, Li Qingqiu finally left. The Heavenly Rainbow Sword still floated behind him. He did not sheath it. If the disciples saw it, that would be perfect, gradually changing their perception of the Qingxiao Sect.

Lin Chuan and Nangong E floated behind, exchanging their cultivation insights.

Upon arriving at the mountain path, Li Qingqiu walked along, enjoying the scenery along the way.

Recently, Qingxiaomen has started road construction again, preparing to build a wide road to facilitate the ascent of the mountain by vehicles and horses. Li Qingqiu used Jiang Tianshi's storage bag to move a large sum of money from the imperial city, which greatly excited Zhang Yuchun. Not to mention building one road, building ten more would not be a problem.

Li Qingqiu did not take all the money from the palace; he left some behind. As for who would get it later, that was up to fate.

After a while, he began to think about the cave dwelling.

Chu Jing's Heaven-Mending Array contained instructions on how to build a cave dwelling, and he felt he could try building one, especially since the Qingxiao Sect had already created a Spirit Gathering Array.

As more and more cave dwellings are built, the disciples can disperse from Qingxiao Mountain and gradually cover the Taikun Mountain Range, thus expanding the Qingxiao Sect's network of informants.

Ideally, a cave dwelling should be situated near a mountain and water to facilitate the gathering of spiritual energy. If two cave dwellings are too close together, they will restrain each other and affect the efficiency of spiritual energy accumulation.

Li Qingqiu's thoughts drifted away. The disciples along the way who saw the Rainbow Sword behind him all stared wide-eyed, some even rubbing their eyes, thinking they were seeing things.

Seeing that Li Qingqiu was frowning, as if he was thinking about something, none of the disciples dared to disturb him.

The battle at Zhenyang Imperial City brought Li Qingqiu's prestige to its peak once again. Of course, some people questioned it, since they hadn't witnessed it firsthand, but at least no one on Qingxiao Mountain dared to raise the issue.

When Li Qingqiu returned to Lingxiao Academy, news of the Tianhong Sword floating on its own spread, prompting the disciples to discuss whether it was a martial art or the Tianhong Sword had gained sentience.

Upon learning of this, Shen Yue rushed over and asked Li Qingqiu to demonstrate how the Rainbow Sword could take flight.

Li Qingqiu glanced at the Tianhong Sword on the table, and the sword immediately floated up. Shen Yue's eyes widened; this shocked him even more than when he was defeated by Li Qingqiu.

He didn't sense any sword energy or intent; the sword had clearly flown up on its own.

How can it be?

"The battle with Zhenyang gave me a deeper understanding of the sword, and I developed an indescribable connection with my Tianhong Sword as a result," Li Qingqiu said, feigning profundity.

Shen Yue took a deep breath, raised his hand in greeting, and then turned and left.

For some time afterward, the disciples of the Sword Sect noticed that Shen Yue was always holding a wooden sword and deep in thought, seemingly lost in thought.

……

Dongling Prefecture, Juesheng Sect.

Inside the main hall, Yan Wujin, dressed in a black robe, was meditating and practicing his martial arts on the steps. His internal energy surged, causing visible fluctuations in the surrounding space.

A series of footsteps approached quickly, and Vice Sect Master Tang Ziqi strode up to the steps. He exclaimed excitedly, "Sect Master, great news! Huge news!"

Yan Wujin opened his eyes, his gaze somewhat weary. He asked, "What joyous occasion?"

He is no longer the spirited young man he was when he first ventured into the world a few years ago.

He suffered a crushing defeat when he first founded the Juesheng Sect. If it weren't for Li Qingqiu's magnanimity, he would have died. Later, he founded the Juesheng Sect again and came to Dongling Prefecture. He originally thought he could make a name for himself, but he couldn't even unify the martial arts world of Dongling Prefecture, let alone shake the imperial power.

He had encountered a master of the Demonic Sect and nearly lost his life, which made him begin to doubt himself, whether he could avenge his father, and whether he could pull Zhao Zhi off the throne.

He appears to be practicing martial arts in seclusion, but in reality, he is escaping reality.

"Li Qingqiu, the leader of the Qingxiao Sect, stormed the Zhenyang Imperial City alone and beheaded the emperor. Now the Dali Dynasty is in complete chaos!" Tang Ziqi said excitedly, his tone filled with awe when he mentioned Li Qingqiu.

He recalled his meeting with Li Qingqiu several years ago. At that time, he only felt that Li Qingqiu was unfathomable and cared about the world. He never expected that Li Qingqiu could do such an earth-shattering thing.

When the armies of the seven provinces were defeated and the people of the world were filled with anxiety, Li Qingqiu actually went to Zhenyang Imperial City alone and killed the emperor amidst thousands of troops, which was simply unbelievable.

When Tang Ziqi first heard the news, his initial reaction was disbelief. However, after making numerous inquiries, he kept receiving the same information, which thoroughly excited him.

"Are you sure?" Yan Wujin asked in astonishment, his eyes wide.

He knew Li Qingqiu was strong, but he never expected her to be this strong.

Tang Ziqi said excitedly, "I have already written back to inquire, and news will be available soon. I feel it is true, because the towns at the foot of the mountain are all talking about this matter. If the emperor were still alive, who would dare to talk about it like this?"

A surge of immense joy welled up in Yan Wujin's heart. His hands, hidden in his sleeves, clenched into fists. The image of Li Qingqiu appeared in his mind, and he felt as if Li Qingqiu were a living immortal.

"We must prepare early. If it really happens and the world falls into chaos, this will be our best opportunity. The Absolute Saint Sect should also move from a martial arts sect to a powerful force!" Tang Ziqi said excitedly.

He would rather be the prime minister than the vice sect leader of a martial arts sect. The Absolute Saint Sect was just a front; their real plan was to recruit soldiers and conquer the world.

Yan Wujin took a deep breath and said, "You can make the preparations. Also, have someone prepare a congratulatory gift and send it to Qingxiao Sect, saying that we are grateful for Sect Leader Li's righteous act."

"to make!"

Tang Ziqi agreed and then quickly left.

Yan Wujin sat down on the ground, lost in a daze.

He had fought against masters of the Demonic Sect and knew how terrifying they were. It is said that the emperor even obtained the legendary inner elixir of martial arts.

He suddenly became very curious: Could the martial arts of the Qingxiao Sect be even more powerful than the Great Sun Sun Technique?
……

The news of Li Qingqiu, the leader of the Qingxiao Sect, beheading the emperor is still spreading. Some people are shocked, and some are questioning it, but in any case, Li Qingqiu's name has spread throughout the world. From high-ranking officials in various states to ordinary people, everyone is discussing this matter.

In the mountains, Feng Dai and Ma Yu sat at a table outside an inn, drinking tea and listening to the people of the martial arts world discuss Li Qingqiu.

People in the martial arts world did not question this matter; they even regarded Li Qingqiu as a god and worshipped him to the extreme.

Feng Dai put down his teacup and sighed, "If I hadn't left earlier, I might have witnessed the Demon Emperor's head being separated from his body."

Ma Yu frowned and asked, "My lord, is Sect Leader Li really that powerful?"

Having spent so long in the imperial city, he knew all too well how terrifying the imperial power within the Zhenyang Imperial City was. He couldn't believe that someone could single-handedly break through the Zhenyang Imperial City and even successfully kill the emperor. It was too unbelievable; throughout history, nothing like this had ever happened.

Even the legendary figures of the past had never achieved such a feat.

Feng Dai laughed and said, "I also find it unbelievable, but everyone in the world is talking about it. Surely someone can't be deliberately creating hype for Sect Leader Li?"

He couldn't wait to visit Li Qingqiu at Qingxiao Mountain; he had so many questions he wanted to ask Li Qingqiu.

Ma Yu remained silent. He had been to Qingxiao Sect and, upon careful consideration, realized that Qingxiao Sect was indeed extraordinary. Every time he visited, he could sense the tremendous changes within the sect, and the increasing number of disciples made him feel that it was unfathomable.

The rapid development of a sect is undoubtedly inseparable from the leadership of its sect leader.

"My lord, what are your plans for the future?" Ma Yu asked, changing the subject.

Feng Dai turned his head to look into the distance and said slowly, "If the emperor really dies, then chaos is really coming. A lot of warlords will surely emerge. I will go to Qingxiao Gate for a while and observe the changes in the world. If possible, I would like to choose a wise ruler and try to bring peace to the world as soon as possible."

Ma Yu smiled, fearing that Feng Dai would lose his fighting spirit.

Although he was loyal to Feng Dai, he also hoped that Feng Dai could gain wealth and honor, so that he could also benefit from it.

"Are you also going to Qingxiao Mountain?"

An elderly man in a gray robe walked over, sat down to Feng Dai's right, and asked.

Ma Yu frowned, gripped the knife on the table, and asked, "Who are you, and what do you want?"

The gray-robed elder said, "You don't need to be afraid. I am also a member of the Qingxiao Sect. I just wanted to go back. Would you like to come along?"

"You don't know the way?" Ma Yu asked warily.

"I really don't know the way."

"Heh, you're kidding me."

"To tell you the truth, I am Qingxiao Zhenren. I was imprisoned by the former Emperor Gaozu and held for thirty years. After my disciple killed the emperor, he had other matters to attend to, so he sent me back alone. But how could I remember the way?"

"Is Sect Master Li your grand-disciple?"

Ma was shocked, and Feng Dai was also surprised.

　Thank you Liu Mengxi for the 500 Qidian coins!
