"What?! Celestial aura! Retreat!"

Someone shouted, his expression filled with terror, runes shooting into the sky, and he used his extreme speed to fly away, not daring to get any closer.

"What is ethereal beauty?"

Some living beings of this world do not understand, having never heard of it before.

"The legendary immortal energy? It's said that only those who have embarked on the invincible path, surpassed the sages of the past, and broken through the limits of unparalleled geniuses can cultivate it. Legendary ten-crown kings and six-crown kings are still exploring it, never having taken that step. Yet he succeeded!"

One of the creatures explained, his eyes filled with awe; he was unwilling to provoke such a being in the slightest.

"So what? No matter how powerful he is, he's only one person. If we attack him together, can he kill us all?"

"To kill him and seize his treasure—wouldn't that be exhilarating!"

A ferocious beast sneered, but the next moment, a divine eye suddenly opened between Xia Mangqing's brows. Then, a loud "bang" was heard. The ferocious beast didn't even have time to react before it exploded, leaving only a piece of precious bone, which was taken by Xia Mangqing.

"Fool! To cultivate immortal energy—there's probably only one person like that in this era, surpassing all others throughout history, invincible. How dare you covet such a prodigy? You're utterly overestimating yourself!"

The ancient freak who had flown away earlier said disdainfully, "In this world, there are many beings who do not know what immortal energy means. It is a symbol of invincibility. Even if a ten-time champion or a six-time champion appeared, they would still have to show him some respect when standing in front of Xia Mangqing."

That ferocious beast wasn't even a first-generation being, yet it dared to covet such a peerless figure throughout history. It deserved to die.

"That's not what you just said—"

Xia Mangqing examined the precious bones of the ferocious beast, his voice echoing softly. Instantly, many creatures felt their hair stand on end, as if they were being stared at by a true dragon. Both their spirit and body resisted, wanting to get away.

"Fellow Daoist, please forgive us!" the freak said. "We simply did not wish to violate the rules of Bright City, and we did not intend to be your enemy."

"Please forgive me, sir!"

"Actually, we are grateful that you killed that Daoist Xuya. He had been bullying the weak for a long time, but we were too weak to resist. We should thank you for killing him!"

Many beings knew what immortal energy meant. It was an existence that surpassed the ultimate realm of divine fire, representing invincibility. Even if he couldn't sweep through the entire City of Light by himself, who could stop him if he wanted to leave?

If such a great karmic bond is formed, unless they all stick together and never separate, once they are alone, even an ancient king would probably not be able to last more than a few moves against the opponent!

Therefore, they could only beg for mercy, and they had to beg for mercy.

"That's enough." Xia Mangqing was somewhat disheartened. He had thought there would be more stubborn people like that ferocious beast, but who would have thought they would back down so quickly? He suddenly felt bored: "I won't bother others unless they bother me. Just don't provoke me."

"That's natural!"

"Please do not hesitate to ask if you need anything, sir."

"Fellow Daoist wishes to exchange for the Evil Dragon Fruit? I have several divine materials here that can be used to refine celestial artifacts. Fellow Daoist, please take a look!"

These beings spoke, each expressing their opinions, and even the dazed Mo Xuan was flattered. It was truly a case of "when one attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

"A genius beyond compare!"

"Old man Mu, what merit does your Heavenly Immortal Academy possess to have such a peerless prodigy?!"

"Heaven is unjust! Why doesn't such a prodigy come to us? Instead, he went to the Celestial Immortal Academy, where he's supposedly not valued!"

"Nonsense! Qingxuan is the strongest genius of our Heavenly Immortal Academy, the supreme ruler of a province. When have we ever neglected him?"

"Heh, do I really have to spell it out for you?"

Outside, in the void where the Celestial Academy is located, many powerful figures from various Daoist lineages are joking, and of course, they are genuinely envious. With such a prodigy emerging, the outcome of this generation's Immortal Ancient Era is no longer in doubt. Even if a Ten-Crown King or a Six-Crown King were to be born, they would have to make way for him and would find it difficult to compete with him for supremacy.

"Cultivating immortal energy? That's illogical; this shouldn't happen. It contradicts the results of those calculations!"

"Capture him, uncover his secrets, and we must know the reasons behind his success."

"Indeed, our lineage also has geniuses preparing to break through to the next level, but they have failed after many years. Uncovering this boy's secret will surely help them."

"I wonder if he has a powerful backer?"

"If one possesses great power, why bother entering the Celestial Academy?"

"Even if there are powerful figures behind us, so what? With our combined strength, who in the three thousand provinces can withstand us?"

"good!"

Meanwhile, in another void, sect leaders were exchanging telepathic messages. They came from several ancient lineages, hoping to uncover the secrets behind Xia Mangqing's ability to cultivate immortal energy, as this had exceeded their expectations.

In the past, there were great beings who could foresee the future and see things that such beings should not exist in this era. But now things are out of order, there is something strange about it, and it involves unknown variables.

The celestial aura manifested, throwing both the ancient and the inner realms of the Immortal Realm into chaos.

In numerous vibrant ancient realms, many beings received this message, including the strongest first-generation beings, ancient freaks, and...

The kings were all shocked. This change was beyond their expectations. Moreover, with this situation, the battle for supremacy between the immortals and the ancients was no longer in doubt, and Xia Mangqing was the only one who could stand out in this world.

It could even be said that it surpasses every single generation to date!

"Brother Dao, are you interested in the Ten Fiends?"

In Bright City, many beings respectfully withdrew, but the ancient freak "Overturning Sea Heavenly Lord" approached Xia Mangqing and spoke through telepathy.

"The Ten Fiends?!"

Xia Mangqing's eyes lit up: "Of course I'm interested, but don't tell me it's a haunted house."

Fu Hai Tianjun shook his head: "I dare not go to the evil nest. As far as I know, it is suspected that someone has set up a trap there, and it is almost certain to die. Unless I am like you, brother, I would not dare to go."

"Where is that place, and which of the Ten Fiends is it related to?"

"Qilin Ridge, Qilin Ancient Cave".

Upon hearing this, Xia Mangqing's mind stirred, and she thought of some things.

The ancient lands in the Immortal Ancient Realm are actually reflections of real ancient lands in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. For example, the Fallen Immortal Ridge is located in the Great Crimson Heaven, one of the Nine Heavens, which is a forbidden zone for life. A true immortal king at the level of an immortal king occupies that place and overlooks the ages.

The Qilin Ridge mentioned by the Overturning Sea Heavenly Lord has a counterpart in the Upper Realm; it is even the ancient birthplace of Ning Chuan, though it has lost the glory of the previous era.

"How could Ningchuan possibly let that place go?"

Xia Mangqing frowned and asked. He did indeed want to obtain the complete Qilin Treasure Technique, which was an absolutely transcendent technique that would be of great use both in this realm and in the Wilderness.

"Brother Dao, you are right. When the Six-Crown King first entered the Immortal Ancient Realm, he entered the Qilin Ridge. It is said that he obtained a great fortune there, but no one knows exactly what it is."

The Overturning Sea Heavenly Lord said, "But in my previous life, I was lucky enough to enter it and found that the ancient land was very unusual. There were traces of the Qilin's past life. By tracing back to the source, it is possible to deduce the Qilin Treasure Technique."

"Unfortunately, I only managed to enter an ancient cave by chance and obtained a killing move."

The Overturning Sea Heavenly Lord made no attempt to conceal his presence. Runes circulated, and purple light appeared beneath his feet, as if he could shatter the void.

The Qilin Foot is similar to the Qilin Step, but while the latter is a suppression technique, the former is a killing move that can shatter the void and cause great destruction. It is one of the most famous killing moves in the Qilin Technique.

Upon seeing this, Xia Mangqing immediately became interested: "You said you only entered this ancient cave by chance, is there some kind of restriction?"

The Overturning Sea Heavenly Lord nodded: "It is concealed by the array and restrictions, making it difficult to find. Even if you do find it, you still need to break the array and restrictions to glimpse its mysteries."

"Come on! Take me there!"

Xia Mangqing spoke up decisively. If it were anything else, he might not be confident yet, but when it came to array formations and restrictions, there were probably not many people in the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths who could surpass him, let alone those in the Immortal Ancient Realm.

Overjoyed, Fu Hai Tianjun said, "Very well, since you are willing, I will lead the way."

With such a prodigy by his side, even if Xia Mangqing takes the lion's share, he will still gain more this time, perhaps even acquiring a few more moves of the Qilin Scattered Hand, thus strengthening his own foundation.
