From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 200 A Contemporary Martial Arts Legend
"Halt! This is Tianxuan Mountain. Outsiders are not allowed to enter!"

A loud voice echoed across the mountains. Li Yang and the others, who were walking up the mountain, looked closely and saw a young man in a Taoist robe standing on a cliff, staring at them.

Li Yang shouted, "We are disciples of the Qingxiao Sect. We are passing through Tianxuan Mountain and would like to stay for a few days. Please inform them of our presence on the mountain."

The Qingxiao Sect is renowned throughout the world. Wherever they go, as long as they state their origins, no one dares to slight them, which reduces many unnecessary conflicts.

Upon hearing this, the man in the Taoist robe's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Then you shall wait where you are and not force your way up the mountain."

"Of course, don't worry."

Li Yang casually replied, not in a hurry to go up the mountain. After responding to the man in the Taoist robe, he turned around and told his disciples to find a place to rest.

Seeing this, the man in the Taoist robe turned and went up the mountain.

Zhang Ping found a place to sit down and looked up. Tianxuan Mountain was as high as the sky, with a majestic and vast mountain body that stretched endlessly on both sides. There was a large white rock halfway up the mountain. At first glance, it seemed as if the mountain was suspended in the air. Even when you came to the foot of the mountain, you would still be amazed by such a magnificent view.

Bai Ning'er came to his side and asked, "You've been frowning the whole way. What are you worried about? With Senior Brother Li Yang leading the team and so many fourth-level cultivators at the Nourishing Yuan Realm, we can fight our way out even if we encounter a million-strong army."

Zhang Ping's gaze was fixed on Tianxuan Mountain, and he said, "But there are things in this world more terrifying than a million enemy troops."

Bai Ning'er thought he was really possessed; why was he even more timid than last time?
I can't bring him out again next time, lest he be scared to death halfway there.

Bai Ning'er stopped caring about him and got up to sit down next to Li Yang.

Time passes slowly.

A full hour passed before the Taoist-robed man finally appeared in their sight and waved to them.

Li Yang stood up and said, "Let's go up the mountain. Remember what I said earlier: even if you see auspicious signs, don't act rashly."

All the disciples responded in unison.

Zhang Ping wanted to escape quietly, but he felt that he would be letting down the sect's cultivation, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up the mountain.

……

Summer is here.

Sunlight streamed into the woods, and Li Qingqiu stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at Chu Jing with a satisfied expression.

After months of research, he finally created a spell that could solidify ghosts. Chu Jing was now wearing a black robe, a theatrical mask, and a bamboo hat. His hands were wrapped in white cloth, and even his neck was not exposed. The Tianhong Sword was hanging at Chu Jing's waist.

At this moment, Chu Jing looked both mysterious and powerful, which made Li Qingqiu nod in approval.

Nangong E and Lin Chuan also floated out, looking at Chu Jing with envy.

Chu Jing is attached to the Tianhong Sword. As long as the Tianhong Sword is with him, he can move around for a long time. But Nangong E and Lin Chuan cannot do that. They cannot leave Li Qingqiu for a long time.

"Master, what should I be called from now on?" Chu Jing asked curiously.

Li Qingqiu smiled and said, "Let's call him Duke Jing."

Upon hearing this, Chu Jing's eyes, hidden behind his mask, lit up with joy. The name "Duke Jing" reminded him of the feeling he had when he was Duke Xuan, and he was quite excited.

Soon, a figure ran over from Lingxiao Courtyard; it was Yuan Qi.

Yuan Qi saw Chu Jing from afar and couldn't help but frown. Chu Jing's attire was too mysterious and eerie, making him instinctively uneasy. Fortunately, the sect leader was also there.

He walked all the way and bowed to Li Qingqiu.

"Yuanqi, from now on you will take him along and let him familiarize himself with the sect," Li Qingqiu instructed.

Yuan Qi couldn't help but look at Chu Jing and ask, "How should I address this gentleman?"

Li Qingqiu spoke on behalf of Chu Jing, saying, "Call him Duke Jing. His status is special, and no one should force him to remove his mask."

These instructions made Yuan Qi even more curious about Chu Jing, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions and immediately left with Chu Jing.

Li Qingqiu turned around, walked to the edge of the cliff, and stretched.

As Li Shouzhen and Li Shoumin's pregnancy progressed, Li Qingqiu's interest in them waned, so he had his apprentices take turns caring for the two little ones, who were now staying in Ji Ya's courtyard.

Li Qingqiu could use his spiritual sense to glimpse the situation in that courtyard.

Ji Ya loves children, and his companions keep him company in the yard, filling the air with laughter.

Li Qingqiu noticed that Ji Ya was becoming increasingly lax, but he didn't reprimand him. After all, not everyone can cultivate diligently. As long as Ji Ya didn't completely give up on cultivation, that was fine.

With his [Hundred Refined Demon Body] and two excellent aptitudes, even without diligent cultivation, Ji Ya is already at the fifth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm, and is very close to the sixth level.

Countless disciples cultivated day and night, yet they could never surpass the third level of the Nourishing Essence Realm.

Just as Li Qingqiu was reflecting on the differences between people, Yun Cai came riding on a sword from the mountains below and hovered in the air in front of him.

"Sect Master, my Soul-Snatching Flying Sword has reached a new level. Would you like to take a look?" Yun Cai asked expectantly.

Li Qingqiu said helplessly, "I know you're a genius, but you don't need to come to me every time you make a little progress. Aren't you tired?"

With the "Thousand Refinements" technique in place, Yun Cai was destined to achieve results as long as she worked hard. In addition, she was as diligent as Xu Ning and Zhao Zhen, so he had no worries about her cultivation at all. However, this girl came to see him every few days, almost more frequently than Yuan Qi.

Having spent so much time together, Yun Cai was no longer reserved in front of Li Qingqiu. She smiled and said, "I was just worried that I would go astray. The Soul-Stealing Flying Sword is too complicated. Every time I practice the Soul-Stealing Flying Sword, I am amazed at how amazing you are to have created such a sword technique. In my opinion, Senior Shen is not the Sword God, but you are the true Sword God."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not that powerful."

Li Qingqiu said seriously, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

Yun Cai had a general idea of ​​his temperament, and upon hearing these words, she knew that she had once again successfully flattered him.

Immediately, she began to display her Soul-Stealing Flying Swords. She opened her right palm, and twelve Soul-Stealing Flying Swords flew out and circled around her.

Li Qingqiu was surprised; he hadn't expected her to have mastered the Soul-Stealing Flying Sword to such an extent.

It is already very difficult to condense and control a single Soul-Stealing Flying Sword, let alone control twelve Soul-Stealing Flying Swords at the same time.

The Soul-Snatching Flying Sword is indestructible and can also suppress souls.

With the addition of Yun Cai's [Myriad Laws Spiritual Eye], Li Qingqiu couldn't think of anyone at the same realm who could defeat her.

Ji Ya does have potential; his strength can overcome all techniques, and his boundless energy surges like ocean waves crashing against the clouds, making it difficult for her to find a weakness.

Unfortunately, Ji Ya's combat talent is not high. Once they start fighting, he will probably be hit by Yun Cai's Soul-Stealing Flying Sword before he can even make a move.

Over the next incense stick's time, Yun Cai displayed her Soul-Stealing Flying Sword in various ways.

Li Qingqiu discovered that her vital energy was extraordinary among people of the same realm.

Is this another effect of "refining through countless trials"?

She cultivates the Hunyuan Scripture daily, so her understanding of it must far surpass that of the other disciples.

Li Qingqiu's vital energy kept increasing, making it impossible for him to distinguish whether it was an increase brought about by the improvement of his cultivation or the effect of [Thousands of Refinements], and there was no second spiritual consciousness realm cultivator for him to refer to.

However, judging from the clouds, the "Thousand Refinements" technique also provides benefits to the cultivation method.

Although the clouds now are not as exaggerated as Ji Ya's, they already have twice the energy of an ordinary fourth-level disciple.

Li Qingqiu suddenly realized that he had underestimated Yun Cai.

This "forged through countless trials" is a bit outrageous!

However, no matter how much Yun Cai practices, she probably won't achieve the effect of the [Hundred Refinements Demon Body]. After all, [Thousand Refinements] only increases comprehension, unless a technique that can enhance physical aptitude appears in the future.

and many more.

Should we also teach her the Heavenly Gang Golden Body Technique?
Li Qingqiu had previously thought she was too thin and frail to be suited for the path of strength and power, but now he thought that might not be the case. She might be able to go further than the other disciples in the Heavenly Gang Golden Body Technique.

As Li Qingqiu was thinking, three more people walked up from behind, the three Xiao brothers.

Upon seeing the three of them appear, Yun Cai immediately stored the Soul-Stealing Flying Sword into her body.

She has never shown the Soul-Stealing Flying Sword to other disciples. Her current victories are based on other spells. She believed Li Qingqiu's words and regarded the Soul-Stealing Flying Sword as her ultimate skill and killing move.

Looking across the entire Qingxiao Sect, the one who made her feel the most competitive pressure was not Zhao Zhen, nor the high and mighty Xu Ning, but the three Xiao brothers. Both sides were secretly vying for power, and neither wanted to be inferior to the other.

"Sect Master, please allow the three of us brothers to travel to Tianxuan Mountain!"

Xiao Wudi came up behind Li Qingqiu, clasped his hands in greeting, and said in a tone that could not hide his anger.

Li Qingqiu turned to look at them and found that Xiao Wuqing and Xiao Wuming's faces were also filled with anger.

He asked in surprise, "Did Tianxuan Mountain offend you?"

Xiao Wudi replied, "That's right. They also provoked the entire Qingxiao Sect. Senior Brother Li Yang and Senior Brother Yang Dong were both defeated by the Yandao Sect of Tianxuan Mountain. The news has already spread throughout the martial arts world. There are even rumors that the Yandao Sect has strength no less than yours and is a martial arts legend of our time. That's utter nonsense!"

Xiao Wuqing continued, "This matter is very strange. The news spread too quickly, and some comments are clearly intended to sow discord between Qingxiao Sect and Tianxuan Mountain. But no matter what, the matter has already occurred, and someone must defeat Yandao Sect to save face for the sect."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingqiu said irritably, "Li Yang and Yang Dong are no match for that person, so what use would the three of you be if you went?"

Li Yang is at the fifth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm!

Li Qingqiu was not surprised that Li Yang lost to Yandao Sect. What surprised him was why Li Yang went to Tianxuan Mountain.

"Sect Master, although I am only at the fourth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm, my Heavenly Gang Golden Body Technique is not something I have practiced for nothing. To be honest, if I were to spar with Senior Brother Li Yang, I don't think I would necessarily lose," Xiao Wudi said earnestly.

He possesses the destiny of being born a body cultivator, which makes his cultivation of the Heavenly Gang Golden Body Technique smooth sailing, even unstoppable. He has a strong confidence in his own strength.

Xiao Wuqing and Xiao Wuming did not refute. They also trusted Xiao Wudi and felt that their elder brother only lacked an opportunity, an opportunity to prove that he was no less than Li Yang, Ji Ya, Han Lang and others.

Yun Cai said, "I'm going too!"

When Xiao Wudi saw her speak, he frowned and opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say anything boastful to her.

　It's too late. I never expected that catching a cold today would be such a wake-up call QAQ
