Why is my Hundred Lifetimes Book different?

Nearly a hundred miles outside Burning Heaven City, there is a great river with water that is as hot as boiling and as yellow as blood. It is shrouded in mist all year round and is named Yanlong River.

This water, heated by the earth's fire, contains fiery toxins, making it a place rarely visited by humans.

Unless one is a cultivator who deliberately refines their body or forges weapons to obtain water.

at this time.

Li Yao stood on the river.

Waves rolled beneath my feet, and clouds and mist surged around me.

Lin Zhiheng watched this scene with interest, a slight smile playing on his lips, but then he suddenly turned back and smiled at Ren Qingshan and the other man: "You two, aren't you going to help him?"

Pang Feihong's eyes flickered, unable to make a decision, and he subconsciously looked at Ren Qingshan.

This person is truly arrogant!

But arrogance must have its reasons.

The outcome is truly difficult to predict.

Ren Qingshan did not respond. He simply rose and flew into the sky, holding his sword horizontally in front of him, looking at the sky expressionlessly.

Seeing Ren Qingshan adopt a defensive stance, Pang Feihong immediately followed suit, leaping up to form a pincer movement, standing on the left and right sides of the other side.

Seeing the two of them in place, Li Yao silently watched Lin Zhiheng, his spiritual power circulating within him, his true qi emerging, and his divine sense tense.

A water dragon quietly formed in front of him, lifelike, and roared towards Lin Zhiheng.

Li Yao grew up in the endless sea, and the art of water control is his most familiar and skillful technique.

Lin Zhiheng unleashed a flash of sword light, transforming his entire body into sword energy. In an instant, he pierced through the water dragon and hurtled straight towards Li Yao. The sword light was as swift as lightning, piercing through Li Yao's body in the blink of an eye!

Over the sky.

Ren Qingshan frowned slightly, but remained expressionless.

He could clearly sense with his own divine sense that this was not Li Yao's true form.

Sure enough, Li Yao's body turned into a pool of river water, while his true form disappeared without a trace.

Pang Feihong stared intently, his Adam's apple bobbing, almost letting out a gasp!

next interest.

Above the Yanlong River, the endless fog seemed to be commanded, advancing and retreating with measured steps, changing and becoming hazy. In an instant, it formed a formation that enveloped the four of them.

The faint sound of the waves seemed to have a certain effect on disturbing the mind, allowing Ren Qingshan to release his divine sense and perceive everything around him.

At this moment, Ren Qingshan suddenly realized that with the sheer number of divine thoughts and the strength of the remaining imprints of Pangu's Great Strength Divine Power, the current battle scene was crystal clear to him, as if he were looking at the patterns on his palm.

"Bang!"

"Cheng!"

"厓!"

"Boom!"

The grand and wondrous syllables evoke images in the mind: a stormy sea, with gales whipping up dark clouds and sea monsters emitting mournful howls.

Lin Zhiheng stirred up the wind and clouds with his sword light, and thousands of sword energies surged out, even shattering the sound.

In the next instant, his divine sense had already locked onto Li Yao's location!

A crimson remnant, accompanied by thousands of firebirds, spewed flames and burned everything in sight.

The fog dissipated, and the blue sky and sun reappeared.

A sword light shot rapidly towards the underwater area!

But underwater, the river seemed to flow up to the sky, transforming into countless water dragons that meandered upwards!

The sword light swept across the land with overwhelming force, obliterating the water dragon wherever it touched. However, thunderous sounds rang out, and countless black lightning bolts exploded around Lin Zhiheng, transforming the sky into a realm dominated by water vapor and thunder.

Even the crimson remnant swayed, causing considerable damage to its divine sense.

Lin Zhiheng's expression finally changed.

Thunder God!

He moved rapidly, leaving the water and landing on land.

Hearing the cheers and laughter of the spectators in the distance, Lin Zhiheng frowned slightly, but remained rooted to the spot, saying nothing.

……

heaven.

Ren Qingshan suddenly had a realization that made him both laugh and cry: So, I am this strong!

I watched the whole thing, and although I was prepared to make a move, I didn't. I just observed what would happen.

and……

Comparing the various flaws and gaps in their battle, the strength of their divine senses, the attacks of their spiritual power, the use of their true qi, and the speed of their movement and attacks, Ren Qingshan felt that if he were to make a move, Lin Zhiheng, including Li Yao, would definitely not be able to withstand his lightning-fast barrier-breaking escape attack!

No need for Pangu's might!

The divine ability of breaking through barriers and escaping with lightning speed was obtained from the demon beast Dark Night Golden Falcon. It is its innate divine ability, originally eight times the sword speed. After condensing the incomplete seal and enhancing his divine sense, he achieved ten times the sword speed.

Even though these two went all out, Lin Zhiheng, a sword cultivator, could only achieve about three times the sword speed.

So, what is he being arrogant about?

Could there be other tricks or hidden cards up your sleeve?

He held back for the time being, refraining from making any rash moves, and let Qingshan continue to observe the battle. He felt a sense of relief and made a summary.

—Among those of the same level, I am very strong!

However, in this immortal sect, there are many instances of attacking from a lower dimension; fair battles are extremely rare.

There's no need to be proud.

There's no need to be discouraged.

When the time comes to act, one should act swiftly and decisively, like a landmine or a whirlwind!

Even if you seem absolutely certain of success, you must refrain from acting when you shouldn't!

……

In the river.

Li Yao emerged from the water in a rather disheveled state, seemingly poisoned by the water. He quickly swallowed several pills to digest the medicinal effects and then reassembled his formation.

Clusters of clouds and mist emerged, once again enveloping the area of ​​water.

A bitter feeling welled up inside me.

Heavenly Thunder Seeds are expensive, costing nearly a thousand spirit stones each. He had painstakingly saved up, but only managed to buy seven, which had already depleted his savings.

I just used six pills; if I do it again, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep going.

As for Ren Qingshan and Pang Feihong, they can be relied upon, but in terms of fighting, we still have to rely on ourselves!

……

Pang Feihong took a deep breath and looked at Lin Zhiheng on the shore, a sense of joy rising in his heart—Li Yao was actually able to fight this guy to a standstill!

This time, it doesn't seem difficult.

Perhaps we can save the pills and talismans that were distributed earlier.

There's no rush right now; let's wait and see.

It's not too late to help Brother Yao when he's exhausted.

This Ren Qingshan didn't make a move just now, but I wonder what kind of methods he has.

"Brother Yao, Qingshan, that fellow over there has clearly lost his edge. Why don't we give him another go?"

Pang Feihong deliberately sent out a divine thought to curry favor.

Li Yao's heart stirred slightly, and he felt a bit more favorably disposed towards him, but he said, "Qingshan, what do you think?"

"One person goes in, with two supporting them."

"A war of attrition."

"Feihong, you go first."

Ren Qingshan offered a prudent suggestion, recalling that when Jin Wujiu introduced Pang Feihong, he mentioned that Pang Feihong had a family secret technique, but he didn't know what it was.

Even though we've spent two months together, I still don't know his strength or background.

Of course, they didn't know their own either.

Pang Feihong was stunned for a moment, somewhat taken aback, but he was the one who brought up the subject first... With a thought, he stood still, a sword aura condensed, transforming into a blazing sun, golden and white in color, and sped towards Lin Zhiheng.

"snort!"

"Three-person team fighting, what kind of skill is that?"

"Three cowards, I'm not going to fight you! Let's go!"

Lin Zhiheng did not accept the challenge. He left behind a sentence and immediately transformed into a streak of light, disappearing gracefully.

The three people: ...

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

The crowd watching from afar, after their initial astonishment, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This person was so arrogant just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye he became such a coward, which is truly laughable.

……

Within the formation.

Seeing his opponent leave, Li Yao felt not relieved, but rather increasingly solemn.

Compared to a proud opponent, a cunning and treacherous opponent who can bend and stretch is clearly more threatening.

The other person's character was not as it initially appeared!

If this battle fails, he will definitely change his strategy, either by finding help or by launching a sneak attack.

"This person...this person is utterly shameless!"

Pang Feihong exclaimed in surprise, then laughed and boasted, "Perhaps it was my sword strike, so powerful and imbued with such Daoist energy, that made him back down!"

Li Yao pursed his lips and agreed.

Ren Qingshan said softly, "Perhaps this person also has some way to change his appearance... Brother Yao, do you still have a few Heavenly Thunder Tokens?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yao's heart stirred, and he decided to change his appearance.

It's not impossible.

As for the remaining few Heavenly Thunder Seeds, he smiled bitterly but did not answer.

He just let out a long sigh.

He changed the subject listlessly: "Just now, a message came through my security token. My family is urging us to update our progress, asking why it has slowed down these past three days."

"Lord Jin has given a clear order: the progress must be accelerated!"

"With the earth's energy restored, spiritual creatures are flourishing. If our department doesn't act quickly, we might not get a single piece of meat!"

Upon hearing this...

Both of them fell silent.

Holding a position in the Immortal Sect, while a somewhat effective protective talisman, and receiving 2,500 spirit stones per month, is also... a shackle, making one's actions beyond one's control.

Even in the face of this debate over visualization, the mission's progress cannot be delayed.
