Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 213 Identity Exposed, Your Highness, Run Away! (3.3k)(3)

Om-!

Another strange event has occurred above the city of Beiyan!

The sky, which had been like fragile glass, was suddenly torn apart by an invisible force.

A golden aura, imbued with boundless majesty and an ancient aura, appeared and instantly enveloped the entire Zhuoyu Garden, and even most of the Beiyan County!

All the warriors and commoners in the city looked up in awe.

The golden light transformed into a phantom of a golden book high in the sky, stretching across the heavens!

The book slowly unfurled, and on its pages, golden characters appeared line by line, as if imbued with life, clearly imprinted on the eyes of everyone below:

[Great Summer, the time when autumn and winter intersect.]

[Northern Frontier, Beiyan County City, Zhuoyu Garden.]

[Li Xijun, the number one prodigy, comprehends the Dao in the lead-up to battle at the Qionglin Banquet, transcending the realm of immortals!]

[He possesses extraordinary skills, able to observe auras and predict destiny, discerning profound mysteries, like an emperor descending to earth.]

[He single-handedly fought against Han Qiong, the fifth-ranked "Thunder Hand" on the Human Ranking; Fang Qinghua, the sixth-ranked "No Return Sword" on the Human Ranking; and Li Wenjie, the eighth-ranked "Fire Dragon Burning" on the Human Ranking.]

[Using the supreme secret technique of the Azure Dragon Nine Swords, "Azure Emperor's Evolution of Heaven," he shattered all the thunder and fire sword intents with a single strike, subduing their sharpness without harming a single person!]

[With sword intent reaching the heavens and a single thought bringing spring back to life, the northern geese, in the depths of autumn, were instantly transformed into a city ablaze with flowers, a riot of colors, brimming with life, as if a divine miracle had descended upon the world!]

Its power and mystery transcend the limitations of mere enlightenment; it hints at the descent of the Azure Emperor to the mortal realm!

Although his ranking on the leaderboard hasn't changed, his strength has reached a whole new level, leaving many of his contemporaries in awe!

[Ranked first on the list of successful individuals: Li Xijun.]

If I were to become the Green Emperor in the future, I would make the peach blossoms bloom all at once!

The golden list of the Book of Mortals reappears, radiating brilliance, its power and influence shining brightly, reflecting the snow and wind of the northern border.

As the bronze inscription flowed, illusory petals and dragon-shaped energy swirled around it, a phenomenon far exceeding anything seen before!

Palace of Stars, Azure Dragon Hall.

In a secluded and tranquil side hall, covered with ancient blue dragon reliefs, a handsome young man dressed in a blue robe, with a face that also carried a hint of effeminacy, suddenly crushed the jade cup in his hand.

He is none other than Yin Tianheng, the Holy Son of the Azure Dragon lineage.

He stared intently at the dazzling golden characters in the sky outside the palace, especially the words "harmony between heaven and man" and "Azure Emperor's Evolution of Heaven," his face initially filled with extreme astonishment and disbelief.

"Four orifices...the unity of heaven and man?! How is this possible!" His voice was distorted with shock.

But then, an even more terrifying thought popped into his head!

"He actually mastered the Azure Dragon Wood Longevity Technique? And reached such a level... He even used an external killing move, unleashing the essence of the Azure Emperor's Heavenly Evolution!"

An unprecedented sense of crisis instantly surfaced in his mind.

He had no record of passing on the "Azure Dragon Wood Longevity Technique" to this Li Xijun, yet the other party had cultivated it to such a level, which could only mean that he had found the "Azure Dragon Seal".

Considering Li Xijun's words about "observing the qi and fortune" and "the emperor's arrival,"

Yin Tianheng instantly understood everything.

"Li Xijun, Li Xijun is the real prince."

"Perhaps the rumors about the Azure Dragon Venerable and the Emperor of Great Xia are true."

"That's why he was able to easily find the Azure Dragon Seal that the Azure Dragon Venerable took away and obtain the Azure Dragon Wood Longevity Technique."

Thinking of this,

Boundless jealousy gnawed at his heart like a venomous snake.

As the Holy Son of the Azure Dragon, he had painstakingly studied the "Azure Dragon Yi Wood Longevity Technique" for many years, but he still failed to cultivate it to such a level.

Li Xijun, on the other hand, had her cultivation technique arranged in advance by the Azure Dragon Venerable, and she rose to power thanks to her older sister...

A chilling killing intent coalesced in his eyes.

"Li Qinghan... Li Xijun..."

He slowly wiped the wine off his hands, his eyes becoming deep and dangerous.

"One possesses the 'White Tiger Seven Killing Godslayer Manual' and is now a candidate for the White Tiger Saintess; the other has mastered the 'Azure Dragon Wood Longevity Technique'... and both possess such terrifying talents."

"That old woman, Suzaku, still has such a good relationship with those two."

"If that brother and sister rise to power in the future, what chance will I have in the Palace of Stars? Who knows, my position might even be taken away!"

A plan to completely eliminate the siblings and prevent future troubles began to rapidly take shape in his mind.

He would not allow anyone to threaten his position in the Azure Dragon lineage, nor would he allow anyone to truly control the "Azure Dragon Yi Wood Longevity Technique".

Palace of Stars, Hall of Fire.

The elegant and graceful Venerable Vermilion Bird suddenly stood up from the lotus platform.

The Nanming Fire, which had been burning quietly all around, suddenly shot up uncontrollably, illuminating the main hall.

Her face, which always carried a hint of languid charm, was now filled with unbelievable shock.

"Four orifices...can lead to oneness with heaven and earth?!"

Her voice rose slightly without her even realizing it.

"This kid... what's going on with this kid? First he suddenly appeared at the top of the rankings, and now he has such talent."

"The 'Azure Emperor's Heavenly Evolution' is an external killing technique that can only be comprehended by cultivating the 'Azure Dragon Wood Longevity Technique' to an extremely high level. How long has he even had the technique?"

Mu Wanqiu felt that her decades of understanding were being drastically overturned.

"They've only been out here for a short time, and they've already caused such a commotion."

She could no longer remain calm, pacing back and forth, her red dress swaying like a fiery lotus.

"Furthermore, the exposed 'Emperor's Aura Observation Technique' might be mistaken for reality."

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems I'll have to make the trip myself."

Deep in the northern desert, a group of wind-eroded rocks.

Li Qinghan had just sheathed his longsword, his white robes stained with a few drops of crimson blood.

At his feet, a barbarian warrior with all nine orifices open was split in two.

As she was searching for her loot as usual,

The girl, as if sensing something, suddenly looked up and gazed in the direction of Beiyan County.

The golden text on the sky was clearly visible.

At first, she was surprised by her "perfect harmony" with Li Xijun, making outdoor filming worry-free.

But then she realized that "observing the aura and fortune" and "the emperor's arrival" would expose her identity, and a cloud of worry appeared on her usually aloof face.

She understood best what this meant.

The exposure of "The Emperor's Aura Observation Technique," combined with Li Xijun's current shocking behavior, almost confirms the most dangerous rumor.

This could very well push him into the eye of the storm in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

This worry made her forget to even check the spoils of war on the corpses at her feet. In an instant, her figure transformed into a streak of white light and rushed towards an oasis in the desert.

"Given the current situation, it's safest to ask that person for help."

Outside the city gate of Beiyan Prefecture

As the withered old man Jing Wuming looked at the descriptions of "observing the qi and fortune" and "the emperor's arrival" on the sky, a silent, sinister smile split his dry lips.

"Just as I expected... just as I expected!"

He chuckled hoarsely, his deathly sword intent surging with excitement.

"The Emperor's Aura Observation Technique, this is the true royal family's direct lineage! Li Yan, that good-for-nothing, is nothing more than a substitute to be sent to his death."

"Eunuch Li is so cunning, what a brilliant scheme to deceive everyone! What a pity, what a pity! Even the Book of Mortals, with its profound understanding of all things, cannot hide it all!"

The eerie light in his eyes grew increasingly terrifying.

"A perfect harmony of the four senses, an unprecedented talent, and the embodiment of royal secrets and the true teachings of the Star Palace."

"Hehe... Perfect! Perfect! Such a perfect body, such noble bloodline, is the best vessel for my Life and Death Sword Sect's 'Holy Son of Life and Death'."

"By annihilating his soul and spirit, and using his flesh and bones as a foundation, if His Highness the Holy Son were to possess this person, he would surely be able to cultivate the most perfect 'Life and Death Dao Embryo'!"

My killing intent is set!

Jing Wuming's figure silently blended into the shadows of the city wall, like the most patient hunter, slowly surveying the city, searching for the most suitable location and opportunity.

His terrifying strength at the second level of the Outer Realm gave him enough confidence to crush any Opening Realm cultivator, even if the opponent was at the Unity of Heaven and Man!

Seizing Li Xijun, stripping him of his bloodline, and refining his physical body have become his current goals.

With the reappearance of the Book of Mortals, the undercurrents in the entire Great Xia Dynasty have become even more turbulent!

The news that Li Xijun possessed the "Emperor's Aura Observation Technique" was like ice water thrown into boiling oil, completely igniting speculation from all sides and almost confirming his identity as the "true prince".

At this moment, in Zhuoyu Garden,

The moment the Eighth Prince saw the inscription on the "Book of Mortals," he immediately knelt down and paid his respects.

"Your Highness, I have just spoken offensively. Please punish me!"

Not only were his words respectful, but he also bowed deeply to Li Xijun as a member of the royal family and a top expert on the Human Ranking, adopting an extremely humble posture!

This bow, this cry of "Your Highness," was like a final blow, completely crushing the last trace of doubt and hope in everyone's hearts!

boom!

After a brief period of deathly silence came a commotion and uproar far more intense and chaotic than ever before!

All the onlookers, whether they were heroes from all sides inside the park, geniuses on the Human Ranking, or wandering martial artists watching from outside, couldn't help but erupt in a buzz of discussion.

"The...the prince? The Eighth Prince himself admitted it!"

"He really is a prince! Li Xijun is the true prince!"

"No wonder! No wonder he has such talent! With royal blood and having cultivated the 'Emperor's Aura Observation Technique,' he is truly a Son of Heaven!"

"Those rumors...were actually true! Li Yan really was a scapegoat!"

Exclamations and incredulous discussions swept across the area like a tsunami.

Many people subconsciously took a step back, and their gazes toward the black-clad youth in the center of the arena were instantly filled with awe and fear.

This is, after all, a martial arts world. Although the major sects and aristocratic families don't care much about the imperial court, most of the heroes in the martial arts world still have some awe of imperial power.

Moreover, given the current situation, the person in front of us is the only prince in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

He might even be the future emperor!

Duan Heyu gazed at Li Xijun's figure, a suppressed smile playing on her lips.

He had been on friendly terms with a prince for so long, and they even went to brothels together to drink wine and listen to music.

The monk Kongzhu clasped his hands together and kept chanting Buddhist mantras in a low voice, seemingly trying to calm the turbulent waves in his heart.

Although Han Qiong and Fang Qinghua were true disciples of a major sect, they did not show the same reverence as the others. However, upon learning the news, they exchanged a glance and bowed respectfully according to custom.

All eyes were focused on the black-robed youth.

However, Li Xijun, who was at the center of the storm, remained frighteningly calm despite the Eighth Prince's grand homage and the gaze of everyone present.

He neither immediately told the Eighth Prince to get up, nor did he admit or deny anything.

However, his deep eyes lowered slightly, and his gaze fell on the Eighth Prince for a careful examination.

No one could see the true emotions in his eyes.

This silence, this unfathomable calm, only served to further confirm his identity in the eyes of the crowd.

Such composure must have been cultivated through the art of ruling by an emperor!

For this,

At this moment, the 'Prince' with an indifferent expression tapped his fingertips on the long sword at his waist, having made a decision in his heart:

"Okay, let's get a more detailed map of the northern desert later, and then we'd better get going."
