Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

Because he couldn't see anything around him, Li Changqing's attention was completely drawn to the golden chains above his head.

He could sense just how astonishing the aura emanating from these golden chains was.

Even a single chain is not easy to deal with.

With thousands of chains intertwined, even Li Changqing would likely find it difficult to escape.

"Don't get entangled in this chain."

Just as Li Changqing had this thought, the golden chains mercilessly wrapped around him.

The chain moves extremely fast and also has automatic tracking.

No matter which direction Li Changqing tried to dodge, the golden chains relentlessly pursued him.

Almost instantly, the chains were in front of him.

Li Changqing narrowed his eyes and adjusted his position again.

He pushed off the ground and flew out quickly.

The chains followed, and not only that, other chains also began to stir.

If Li Changqing had no intention of escaping directly, he would have no choice but to confront these golden chains head-on.

"That's interesting."

After testing the waters, Li Changqing gestured with his hands in front of him.

A giant Tai Chi symbol appeared right in front of him. Li Changqing pushed with both hands, and the giant Tai Chi symbol was placed on top of his head.

"Peerless Tai Chi!"

The essence of Shenwu Tai Chi Chuan lies in the harmony of Yin and Yang, and its divine power is unparalleled.

Although the golden chains were powerful, they couldn't gain any advantage against the Divine Martial Tai Chi Fist.

They were all blocked from view by the Tai Chi pattern.

It was at this time that the patriarch of the State of Qi drove in the first nail.

Li Changqing suddenly felt a pain in his body.

Without warning, he was indeed attacked by some unknown force.

By the time Li Changqing came to his senses, the huge Tai Chi pattern he had created with his hands had shrunk to less than half its original size.

Several stray golden chains were rapidly wrapping around Li Changqing.

"Ruyi Tai Chi Power!"

A circular Tai Chi pattern suddenly appeared, centered on Li Changqing's body, and enveloped him.

None of the golden chains that had been coiling around him escaped; they were all flung away by Li Changqing.

Li Changqing remained calm.

He glanced back at his injuries and found that there was no real damage.

"Is it a method that attacks the soul directly, not the physical body?"

Before coming to the State of Qi, Li Changqing had also conducted a thorough investigation.

In Li Changqing's memory, there seemed to be no mention of the Qi state ancestor having similar methods.

But now that he has fallen for it, it means that this is the trump card that the Qi state's leader has been holding back, only that he has not used it in front of the public before.

A more accurate statement might be that it was never used in front of living people.

"You really think highly of me!"

The complete Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, plus a veteran Supreme Realm expert.

Li Changqing had already prepared for a major battle.

From his perspective, he believed that the ancestor of the State of Qi had a great advantage and there was absolutely no need for him to run away.

But the reality is quite different.

Even among the strongest individuals at the Supreme Realm, their personalities vary greatly.

Some people prefer direct confrontation, like Abbot Kongkong of Lingyin Temple.

Some people prefer to control everything from the shadows.

Take, for example, the ancestor of the Qi state, Jiang Tang.

He was clearly the kind of person who manipulated things from behind the scenes; even with a huge advantage, he wouldn't easily confront Li Changqing head-on.

There's no inherently better or worse; it's simply a matter of different personal life choices.

It was only at this point that Li Changqing realized why he wasn't very interested in the throne.

Although becoming the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty would come with all sorts of restrictions.

However, Li Changqing himself is a supreme expert, and the power that the three national treasures can unleash in his hands will only be stronger.

Even if he wasn't in Kyoto, he could still unleash his supreme peak combat power.

Once back in Kyoto, Li Changqing, with the help of the Three Divine Artifacts, will even be able to experience power surpassing that of a Supreme Being.

But Li Changqing still refused.

He could become the master of the World Society, but he never thought of becoming its manager.

He could be the supreme regent, but he never thought of personally handling any political affairs.

Once the framework of the future Regent's Palace is established, his subordinates will inevitably share the burden for him, so he won't need to do it personally.

In essence, Li Changqing remains a seeker of the Dao who single-mindedly pursues the path to immortality through martial arts.

He prefers frontline combat and breakthroughs.

Even if you suppress your cultivation level, you can still fight against a strong opponent of the same level, or even defeat a stronger opponent with a weaker one.

For Li Changqing, these were all great joys in his life.

Not to mention, Li Changqing can use such battles to test and refine his Seeking Immortality Record.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Li Changqing was somewhat unable to empathize with the ancestor of the Qi state.

He didn't quite understand the actions of the old ancestor of the State of Qi.

How could a supreme expert break through to the supreme realm without the experience of breaking through in battle?

Of course, Li Changqing himself did not have such an experience.

But since most other supreme beings possessed this, Li Changqing naturally assumed that the Qi Kingdom's ancestor must have the same.

Unexpectedly, that wasn't the case at all.

Despite his surprise, Li Changqing showed no sign of panic.

The opponent did not attack the physical body, but directly targeted the soul.

The moment the nail was driven in, Li Changqing felt that his soul had suffered a considerable injury.

They had absolutely no idea what the other party's strategy was, and they couldn't even see the other party's people.

Logically speaking, at this point, Li Changqing should either try to protect himself or try to escape.

Many supreme experts can achieve either of these two things.

Li Changqing is fine.

But he didn't do that. He just frowned, glanced behind him, and continued to deal with the golden chains in front of him.

The old patriarch of Qi, hiding in the shadows, had a cold glint in his eyes.

He clearly hadn't expected Li Changqing to be so resolute. Despite clearly sensing the attack from the shadows, he acted as if nothing had happened.

They'll stay here and continue to cause trouble.

Although he was trapped by the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, could the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation really trap the Supreme Being?

Even the patriarch of the Qi state himself didn't know.

He didn't try to break through with all his might, but he felt that the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation could contend with him.

Even if the supreme being who was entangled wanted to break free, it wouldn't be so easy.

But it's not that easy, just because it's not impossible.

If they act decisively and realize the situation is unfavorable, they should immediately burn their life essence; they still have a good chance of escaping.

Li Changqing didn't do that; doing so would have been tantamount to courting death.

"Second nail, kill..."

Li Changqing felt another pain in his body.

I don't know how the other party locked onto me.

He couldn't dodge this sneak attack at all.

of course.

The Qi State Ancestor did not notice that shortly after he drove the nail in, Li Changqing's soul, which had been damaged, was quickly repaired.

In the blink of an eye, it had returned to its peak condition.

The Supreme Mysterious Illumination Scripture!
